Nicotinic acidŐadenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a novel and potent Ca2+-mobilizing agent in sea urchin eggs and other cell types. Little is known, however, concerning the properties of the putative intracellular NAADP receptor. In the present study we have characterized NAADP binding sites in sea urchin egg homogenates. [32P]NAADP bound to a single class of high-affinity sites that were reversibly inhibited by NaCl but insensitive to pH and Ca2+. Binding of [32P]NAADP was lost in preparations that did not mobilize Ca2+ in response to NAADP, indicating that [32P]NAADP probably binds to a receptor mediating Ca2+ mobilization. Addition of excess unlabelled NAADP, at various times after initiation of [32P]NAADP binding, did not result in displacement of bound [32P]NAADP. These data show that NAADP becomes irreversibly bound to its receptor immediately upon association. Accordingly, incubation of homogenates with low concentrations of NAADP resulted in maximal labelling of NAADP binding sites. This unique property renders NAADP receptors exquisitely sensitive to their ligand, thereby allowing detection of minute changes in NAADP levels.

NAADP (nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate)-induced Ca2+ release has been proposed to occur selectively from acidic stores in several cell types, including sea urchin eggs. Using fluorescence measurements, we have investigated whether NAADP-induced Ca2+ release alters the pHL (luminal pH) within these acidic stores in egg homogenates and observed their prompt, concentration-dependent alkalinization by NAADP (but not β-NAD+ or NADP). Like Ca2+ release, the pHL change was desensitized by low concentrations of NAADP suggesting it was secondary to NAADP receptor activation. Moreover, this was a direct effect of NAADP upon the acidic stores and not secondary to increases in cytosolic Ca2+ as it was not mimicked by IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate), cADPR (cyclic adenine diphosphoribose), ionomycin, thapsigargin or by direct addition of Ca2+, and was not blocked by EGTA. The results of the present study further support acidic stores as targets for NAADP and for the first time reveal an adjunct role for NAADP in regulating the pHL of intracellular organelles.

The Ca2+ + Mg2+-activated ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum exhibits complex kinetics of activation with respect to ATP. ATPase activity is pH-dependent, with similar pH-activity profiles at high and low concentrations of ATP. Low concentrations of Ca2+ in the micromolar range activate the ATPase, whereas activity is inhibited by Ca2+ at millimolar concentrations. The pH-dependence of this Ca2+ inhibition and the effect of the detergent C12E8 (dodecyl octaethylene glycol monoether) on Ca2+ inhibition are similar to those observed on activation by low concentrations of Ca2+. On the basis of these and other studies we present a kinetic model for the ATPase. The ATPase is postulated to exist in one of two conformations: a conformation (E1) of high affinity for Ca2+ and MgATP and a conformation (E2) of low affinity for Ca2+ and MgATP. Ca2+ binding to E2 and to the phosphorylated form E2P are equal. Proton binding at the Ca2+-binding sites in the E1 and E2 conformations explains the pH-dependence of Ca2+ effects. Binding of MgATP to the phosphorylated intermediate E1′PCa2 and to E2 modulate the rates of the transport step E1′PCa-E2′PCa2 and the return of the empty Ca2+ sites to the outside surface of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, as well as the rate of dephosphorylation of E2P. Only a single binding site for MgATP is postulated.

NAADP (nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate) mediates Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores in a wide variety of cell types. In sea urchin eggs, subthreshold concentrations of NAADP can cause full inactivation of NAADP-induced Ca2+ release, an effect that may be related to the ability of the target protein to bind its ligand in an essentially irreversible manner. In the present study, we found that K+ ions inhibit dissociation of NAADP from sea urchin egg homogenates. In low K+-containing media, an addition of excess unlabelled NAADP effectively displaced bound radioligand whereas dilution of radioligand initiated only partial dissociation. The inhibitory effects of K+ on dissociation of NAADP were concentration dependent, reversible and persisted after detergent solubilization. Lowering [K+] of the medium decreased the sensitivity of NAADP receptors for their ligand in stimulating Ca2+ release, but it did not affect inactivation of NAADP-induced Ca2+ release by subthreshold concentrations of NAADP. Our results are consistent with the observation of multiple conformations of the NAADP receptor that are readily revealed in low K+-containing media.

Nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a novel intracellular Ca2+ releasing agent recently described in sea-urchin eggs and egg homogenates. Ca2+ release by NAADP is independent of that induced by either inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) or cyclic adenosine dinucleotide phosphate (cADPR). We now report that in sea urchin egg homogenates, NAADP releases Ca2+ from a Ca2+ pool that is distinct from those that are sensitive to InsP3 and cADPR. This organelle has distinct Ca2+ uptake characteristics: it is insensitive to thapsigargin and cyclopiazoic acid, but maintenance of the pool shows some requirement for ATP. Although the different Ca2+ pools have different characteristics, there appears to be some degree of overlap or cross-talk between the NAADP- and cADPR/InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ pools. Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release is unlikely to account for the apparent overlap between stores, since NAADP-induced Ca2+ release, in contrast with that stimulated by cADPR, is not potentiated by bivalent cations.

This report describes analysis of factors which regulate the binding of EGF to EGF receptor, receptor internalization, and receptor recycling. Three different methods were used to inhibit high-affinity EGF binding as measured at equilibrium: treatment of cells with an active phorbol ester (PMA), binding of a mAb directed against the EGF receptor (mAb108), and truncation of most of the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor. These treatments reduced the rate at which low concentrations of EGF bound to cells, but did not affect the rate of EGF dissociation. We conclude that high-affinity EGF binding on living cells results from a difference in the apparent on rate of EGF binding. We then used these conditions and cell lines to test for the rate of EGF internalization at different concentrations of EGF. We demonstrate that internalization of the EGF receptor is stimulated roughly 50-fold at saturating concentrations of EGF, but is stimulated an additional two- to threefold at low concentrations (less than 1 nM). Four treatments reduce the rate of internalization of low concentrations of EGF to the rate seen at saturating EGF concentrations. Phorbol ester treatment and mAb108 binding to "wild type" receptor reduce this rate (and reduce high-affinity binding). Point mutation at Lys721 (kinase negative EGF receptor) and point mutation at Thr654 (removing a major site of protein kinase C phosphorylation) reduce the internalization rate, without affecting high-affinity binding. We suggest that while EGF stimulates endocytosis for all receptors, high-affinity receptors bind and are internalized more quickly than low-affinity receptors. Tyrosine kinase activity and the Thr654 region appear necessary for this response.

These studies were designed to examine the changes in the characteristics of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) binding to porcine oxyntic mucosa in the response to oral ingestion of salicylates. Either acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or salicylic acid (SA) was administered to conscious pigs (100 mg/kg in 30 mL of an equimolar concentration of NaHCO3) once a day for 1, 3, 10, or 20 days. In control experiments a similar volume of 0.3 M NaHCO3 was administered for similar durations. Mucosal ulceration and the characteristics of the binding of [3H]PGE2 to a 30 000 × g membrane preparation of oxyntic mucosa were examined. Generation of mucosal PGE2 was measured by radioimmunoassay. ASA treatment resulted in an increase in the number and severity of mucosal ulcers and a decrease in PGE2 levels within the first treatment day. By day 20 the degree of ulceration had decreased in spite of a persistent reduction of mucosal PGE2 generation. A variable degree of ulceration was observed in SA-treated animals. In control animals only a single class of binding sites for [3H]PGE2 was evident. After 3 days of ASA treatment a second class of binding sites with a high affinity dissociation constant appeared. There was a decrease in the high affinity binding of [3H]PGE2 after 20 days of ASA ingestion. Low affinity binding was not altered. ASA treatment resulted in a significant increase in specific binding capacities for both families of binding sites. SA treatment did not consistently alter PGE2 binding characteristics from control at any time period studied. These data suggest that SA treatment results in a small degree of mucosal damage in the absence of a significant reduction in tissue generation of PGE2 or changes in PGE2 binding. Damage in response to ASA ingestion was associated with a reduction in both endogenous synthesis of PGE2 and an increase in the concentration of both low and high affinity binding sites for PGE2. The reduction in mucosal ulceration on day 20 in spite of depressed endogenous PGE2 coincides with an increase in PGE2 binding.

The present study constitutes the characterization of a specific, high-affinity GH-binding protein (GHBP) in the serum of a teleost, the goldfish (Carassius auratus). GH-binding assay and ligand blotting techniques were employed to identify GHBPs in goldfish serum and hepatocyte culture medium. The binding characteristics and apparent molecular weights (Mr) of goldfish GHBPs were also compared with those of rabbit and rat. LIGAND analysis identified a single class of high-affinity and low-capacity binding sites for iodinated recombinant carp GH (rcGH) in the goldfish serum, with an association constant (Ka) of 20.1x10(9) M-1 and a maximum binding capacity (Bmax) of 161 fmol ml-1 serum. A single class of binding sites for iodinated recombinant sea bream GH and bovine GH (bGH) was also found in goldfish serum, but with a much lower affinity than that of rcGH. The binding affinity for iodinated bGH in rabbit and rat sera was found to be similar to that reported previously. Ligand blotting revealed multiple forms of GHBPs in sera of goldfish, rabbit and rat with Mr ranging from 70 kDa to 400 kDa and 27 kDa to 240 kDa under non-reducing and reducing conditions respectively. A prominent band with Mr of 66 kDa and a minor band with Mr of 27 kDa were observed to occur in sera from all three species under reducing conditions. Iodoacetamide promoted the shedding of three GHBPs with Mr of 25, 40 and 45 kDa from the cultured goldfish hepatocytes. The appearance of all bands was completely inhibited by the presence of excess unlabeled rcGH. Our results provide clear evidence that a GHBP exists in the goldfish and indicate that more information on teleost GHBPs is needed if the physiology of growth in teleosts is to be fully understood.

Nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is fast emerging as a new intracellular Ca2+-mobilizing messenger. In sea urchin egg homogenates, binding of NAADP to its receptor is not readily reversible; hence, prior incubation with low concentrations of NAADP is more effective in inhibiting subsequent binding of radiolabelled NAADP than incubating the preparation with the two ligands simultaneously [Patel, Churchill and Galione (2000) Biochem. J. 352, 725–729]. We extend this finding to show that NAADP is more effective still in inhibiting the subsequent radioligand binding at lower homogenate concentrations, an effect again quite probably due to the non-reversible nature of the receptor–ligand interaction. Enhanced sensitivity of the preparation to NAADP afforded by simple manipulation of the experimental conditions has been applied to determine low levels of NAADP in acid extracts from human red blood cells, rat hepatocytes and Escherichia coli without interference from NADP breakdown. Our improved method for the quantification of NAADP should prove useful in the further assessment of its signalling role within cells.

A kinetic study of the inward transport of uridine in erythrocytes of rabbit, human, mouse, rat and guinea-pig demonstrated that the apparent Km of this process was similar (about 0.2mM) in these cell types, but Vmax. values differed markedly. In this array of cell types, Vmax. values were proportional to the number of transport-inhibitory, high-affinity binding sites present per cell of each type. Transport of uridine or adenosine was not detected in dog erythrocytes, nor was saturable, high-affinity binding of nitrobenzylthioinosine demonstrable. These findings demonstrate that species differences in nucleoside transport capacity are attributable to differences in the cell-surface content of functional nucleoside transport sites, rather than to differences in the kinetic properties of these sites.
