Protein kinase C phosphorylates the inhibitory guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory component and apparently suppresses its function in hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

Human platelet membrane proteins were phosphorylated by exogenous, partially purified Ca2+-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). The phosphorylation of one of the major substrates for protein kinase C (Mr = 41 000) was specifically suppressed by the beta subunit of the inhibitory guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory component (Gi, Ni) of adenylate cyclase. The free alpha subunit of Gi (Mr = 41 000) also served as an excellent substrate for the kinase (greater than 0.5 mol phosphate incorporated per mol of subunit), but the Gi oligomer (alpha X beta X gamma) did not. Treatment of cyc- S49 lymphoma cells, which are deficient in Gs/Ns (the stimulatory component) but contain functional Gi/Ni, with the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, a potent activator of protein kinase C, did not alter stimulation of adenylate cyclase catalytic activity by forskolin, whereas the Gi/Ni-mediated inhibition of the cyclase by the hormone, somatostatin, was impaired in these membranes. The results suggest that the alpha subunit of the inhibitory guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase may be a physiological substrate for protein kinase C and that the function of the component in transducing inhibitory hormonal signals to adenylate cyclase is altered by its phosphorylation.

Coupling of the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein to chemotactic peptide receptors in neutrophil membranes and its uncoupling by islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin. A possible role of the toxin substrate in Ca2+-mobilizing receptor-mediated signal transduction.

A chemotactic peptide stimulated the high-affinity GTPase activity in membrane preparations from guinea pig neutrophils. The enzyme stimulation was inhibited by prior exposure of the membrane-donor cells to islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, or by direct incubation of the membrane preparations with its A-protomer (the active peptide) in the presence of NAD. The affinity for the chemotactic peptide binding to its receptors was lowered by guanyl-5'-yl beta, gamma-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) reflecting its coupling to the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in neutrophils. The affinity in the absence of Gpp(NH)p was lower, but the affinity in its presence was not, in the A-protomer-treated membranes than in nontreated membranes. The inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein of adenylate cyclase (Ni) was purified from rat brain, and reconstituted into the membranes from IAP-treated cells. The reconstitution was very effective in increasing formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-dependent GTPase activity and increasing the chemotactic peptide binding to membranes due to affinity increase. The half-maximal concentration of IAP to inhibit GTPase activity was comparable to that of the toxin to inhibit the cellular arachidonate-releasing response which was well correlated with ADP-ribosylation of a membrane Mr = 41,000 protein (Okajima, F., and Ui, M. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 13863-13871). It is proposed that the IAP substrate, Ni, couples to the chemotactic peptide receptor and mediates arachidonate-releasing responses in neutrophils, as it mediates adenylate cyclase inhibition in many other cell types.

Activation of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase, Gi, by beta-adrenergic receptors in reconstituted phospholipid vesicles.

beta-Adrenergic receptors and the inhibitory GTP-binding protein, Gi of the adenylate cyclase system were reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles by the method described previously for reconstituting receptors and the stimulatory GTP-binding protein, Gs (Brandt, D. R., Asano, T., Pedersen, S. E., and Ross, E. M. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4357-4362). In the receptor-Gi vesicles, beta-adrenergic agonists stimulated both the high-affinity binding of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) to Gi and GTPase activity to an extent similar to that observed in vesicles containing beta-adrenergic receptors and Gs. Stimulation required receptors and displayed appropriate beta-adrenergic specificity. The prior treatment of receptor-Gi vesicles with islet-activating protein (pertussis toxin) plus NAD markedly inhibited both the isoproterenol-stimulated binding of GTP gamma S and the isoproterenol-stimulated GTPase activity. No contamination of Gi by Gs was apparent. These data suggest that receptors that typically stimulate adenylate cyclase activity may also activate the inhibitory system, perhaps as one mechanism of desensitization.

Adenylate Cyclase Toxin↗

The inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. Subunit dissociation and the inhibition of adenylate cyclase in S49 lymphoma cyc- and wild type membranes.

The inhibitory and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory components (Gi and Gs) of adenylate cyclase both have an alpha X beta subunit structure, and the beta subunits are functionally indistinguishable. GTP-dependent hormonal inhibition of adenylate cyclase and that caused by guanine nucleotide analogs seem to result from dissociation of the subunits of Gi. Such inhibition can be explained by reduction of the concentration of the free alpha subunit of Gs as a result of its interaction with the beta subunit of Gi in normal Gs-containing membranes. However, inhibition in S49 lymphoma cyc- cell membranes presumably cannot be explained by the Gi-Gs interaction, since the activity of the alpha subunit of Gs is not detectable in this variant. Several characteristics of Gi-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase have been studied in both S49 cyc- and wild type membranes. There are several similarities between inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase by guanine nucleotides and somatostatin in cyc- and wild type membranes. 1) Somatostatin-induced inhibition of the enzyme is dependent on GTP; nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs are also effective inhibitors. 2) The effect of guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) is essentially irreversible, and somatostatin accelerates GTP gamma S-induced inhibition. 3) Inhibition of adenylate cyclase by somatostatin or Gpp(NH)p is attenuated by treatment of cells with islet-activating protein (IAP). 4) Both cyc- and wild type membranes contain the substrate for IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation (the alpha subunit of Gi). 5) beta Subunit activity in detergent extracts of membranes is liberated by exposure of the membranes to GTP gamma S. The alpha subunit of Gi in such extracts has a reduced ability to be ADP-ribosylated by IAP, which implies that this subunit is in the GTP gamma S-bound form. The resolved subunits of Gi have been tested as regulators of cyc- and wild type adenylate cyclase under a variety of conditions. The alpha subunit of Gi inhibits forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in cyc-, while the beta subunit stimulates; these actions are opposite to those seen with wild type membranes. The inhibitory effects of GTP plus somatostatin (or GTP gamma S) and the alpha subunit of Gi are not additive in cyc- membranes. In wild type, the inhibitory effects of the hormone and GTP gamma S are not additive with those of the beta subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Adenylyl Cyclases↗

Purification and properties of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase.

Attenuation of GTP-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase by islet-activating protein (pertussis toxin) is due to the ability of the toxin to catalyze the ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000/35,000-Da membrane-bound protein, which is thought to be the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase (Gi). We describe and document the purification of this protein from rabbit liver, and, in conjunction with evidence presented in the subsequent papers of the series, identify it as Gi. Purified Gi serves as an excellent substrate for islet-activating protein and can be ADP-ribosylated to the extent of 1 mol of ADP-ribose/mol of protein. The extent of ADP-ribosylation of Gi correlates with the amount of guanine nucleotide that can be bound to the protein. Studies of the nucleotide binding site on the 41,000-Da subunit of Gi reveal a high affinity site that is specific for guanine nucleotides. Rank order of affinities for various nucleotides is GTP gamma S greater than Gpp(NH)p = GTP = GDP greater than GMP much greater than App(NH)p, ATP. High affinity binding of guanine nucleotides is dependent on Mg2+ and is essentially irreversible in the presence of divalent cation. Bound nucleotide readily dissociates from its site on the 41,000-Da subunit of Gi in the absence of Mg2+. This reversal of binding is markedly enhanced by the presence of the 35,000-Da subunit of Gi. The physical characteristics of Gi are important determinants of its role as the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase.

Adenosine Diphosphate Ribose↗

The inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. Properties and function of the purified protein.

Treatment of membranes with islet activating protein (IAP), a toxin from Bordetella pertussis, results in abolition of GTP-dependent, receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. This appears to result from IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000-Da membrane-bound protein. A protein with 41,000- and 35,000-Da subunits has been purified from rabbit liver membranes as the predominant substrate for IAP. This protein has now been shown to be capable of regulating membrane-bound adenylate cyclase activity of human platelets under various conditions. The characteristics of the actions of the IAP substrate are as follows. 1) Purified 41,000/35,000-Da dimer is capable of restoring the inhibitory effects of guanine nucleotides and the alpha 2-adrenergic agonist, epinephrine, on the adenylate cyclase activity of IAP-treated membranes. 2) The subunits of the dimer dissociate in the presence of guanine nucleotide analogs or A1(3+), Mg2+, and F-. The 41,000-Da subunit has a high affinity binding site for guanine nucleotides. 3) The resolved 35,000-Da subunit of the dimer mimics guanine nucleotide- and epinephrine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase. 4) The resolved (unliganded) 41,000-Da subunit stimulates adenylate cyclase activity and relieves guanine nucleotide- +/- epinephrine-induced inhibition of the enzyme. In contrast, the GTP gamma S-bound form of the 41,000-Da subunit inhibits adenylate cyclase activity, although with lower apparent affinity than does the 35,000-Da subunit. 5) The 35,000-Da subunit increases the rate of deactivation of Gs, the stimulatory regulatory protein of adenylate cyclase. In contrast, the 41,000-Da subunit can interact with Gs and inhibit its deactivation. These data strongly suggest that the IAP substrate is another dimeric, guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein and that it is responsible for inhibitory modulation of adenylate cyclase activity.

Adenylate Cyclase Toxin↗

The inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. Subunit dissociation and guanine nucleotide-dependent hormonal inhibition.

The inhibitory and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory components (Gi and Gs) of adenylate cyclase both have an alpha X beta subunit structure, and the beta (35,000 Da) subunits are functionally indistinguishable. Gi and Gs both dissociate in the presence of guanine nucleotide analogs or Al3+, Mg2+, and F- in detergent-containing solutions. Several characteristics of Gi- and Gs-mediated regulation of adenylate cyclase activity have been studied in human platelet membranes. The nonhydrolyzable analog of GTP, guanosine-5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) mimics GTP-dependent hormonal inhibition or stimulation of adenylate cyclase under appropriate conditions. This inhibition or stimulation follows a lag period. The combined addition of epinephrine or prostaglandin E1 with GTP gamma S results in the immediate onset of steady state inhibition or activation. The effects of the GTP analog are essentially irreversible. Fluoride is also an effective inhibitor of prostaglandin E1-stimulated adenylate cyclase, while it markedly stimulates the basal activity of the enzyme. The addition of the resolved 35,000-Da subunit of Gi to membranes results in inhibition of adenylate cyclase, and the resolved 41,000-Da subunit has a stimulatory effect on enzymatic activity. The inhibitory action of the 35,000-Da subunit is almost completely abolished in membranes that have been irreversibly inhibited by GTP gamma S plus epinephrine; this irreversible inhibition is almost completely relieved by the 41,000-Da subunit. Detergent extracts of membranes that have been treated with GTP gamma S plus epinephrine contain free 35,000-Da subunit. The 41,000-Da subunit of Gi contained in such extracts has a reduced ability to be ADP-ribosylated by islet-activating protein (IAP), which implies that this subunit is in the GTP gamma S-bound form. The irreversible inhibition of adenylate cyclase caused by GTP gamma S (plus epinephrine) in membranes is highly correlated with the liberation of free 35,000-Da subunit activity and is inversely related to the 41,000-Da IAP substrate activity in detergent extracts prepared therefrom. The increase in free 35,000-Da subunit activity in extracts and the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in GTP gamma S (plus epinephrine)-treated membranes are both markedly inhibited by treatment with IAP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The A protomer of islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, as an active peptide catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of a membrane protein.

Islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, is an oligomeric protein composed of as A protomer and a B oligomer. IAP and its A protomer were equipotent, on a molar basis, in enhancing GTP-dependent adenylate cyclase activity and in causing ADP-ribosylation of the 41,000 Mr protein when directly added to the cell-free membrane preparation from rat C6 glioma cells. Similar actions of IAP observed upon its addition to intact C6 cells were not mimicked by its A protomer, indicating that the A protomer had to be associated with the B oligomer to become accessible to its site of action on the inner surface of the membrane of intact cells. The A protomer, but not IAP, exhibited NAD-glycohydrolase activity in the reaction mixture lacking cellular components but containing dithiothreitol. Their actions on membranes were not accelerated by dithiothreitol, but markedly suppressed by oxidized glutathione. Thus, C6 cell membranes may possess certain "processing" enzyme(s) responsible for releasing the A protomer from the IAP molecule and for reductive cleavage of an intrachain disulfide bond in the released protomer, thereby producing an active peptide which functions to cause ADP-ribosylation of one of the subunits of guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in the receptor-adenylate cyclase system.

Specific uncoupling by islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, of negative signal transduction via alpha-adrenergic, cholinergic, and opiate receptors in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells.

Exposure of NG108-15 hybrid cells to islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, caused strong ADP-ribosylation of one of the membrane proteins with a molecular weight of 41,000. This ADP-ribosylation was paralleled by decreases in the inhibition of cAMP accumulation in intact cells or associated with reversal of the inhibition of GTP-dependent membrane adenylate cyclase, via alpha-adrenergic, cholinergic muscarinic, or opiate receptors. The affinity of these receptors for agonists was lowered by guanyl-5'-yl beta-gamma-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) reflecting their coupling to the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in this cell line. This effect of Gpp(NH)p was lost in membranes of IAP-treated cells; in the absence of Gpp(NH)p, the affinity for agonist was lower in treated than in nontreated cells. In contrast, the function of these receptors to bind antagonists remained unaltered in IAP-treated cells. Thus, IAP treatment of NG108-15 cells caused specific uncoupling of negative signal transduction from inhibitory receptors to the adenylate cyclase catalytic unit via the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, as a result of ADP-ribosylation of one of the subunits of the regulatory protein.

Identification of the predominant substrate for ADP-ribosylation by islet activating protein.

Islet activating protein (IAP), a toxin isolated from Bordetella pertussis, blocks the ability of inhibitory hormones to attenuate adenylate cyclase activity and enhances the ability of stimulatory hormones to activate the enzyme. The toxin appears to act by catalyzing the transfer of ADP ribose from NAD to a 41,000-dalton protein in target cell membranes. A protein purified from rabbit liver membranes, apparently composed of 41,000- and 35,000-dalton subunits, is shown to be a specific substrate for IAP. Cholera toxin does not ADP-ribosylate this protein. In contrast, the purified guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component of adenylate cyclase (G/F), which is ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin, is not covalently modified by IAP. Equilibrium binding studies and photoaffinity labeling experiments demonstrate that the 41,000-dalton subunit of the IAP substrate has a specific binding site for guanine nucleotides.

Guanine nucleotide activation and inhibition of adenylate cyclase as modified by islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts.

Guanine nucleotide regulation of membrane adenylate cyclase activity was uniquely modified after exposure of 3T3 mouse fibroblasts to low concentrations of islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin. The action of IAP, which occurred after a lag time, was durable and irreversible, and was associated with ADP-ribosylation of a membrane Mr = 41,000 protein. GTP, but not Gpp(NH)p, was more efficient and persistent in activating adenylate cyclase in membranes from IAP-treated cells than membranes from control cells. GTP and Gpp(NH)p caused marked inhibition of adenylate cyclase when the enzyme system was converted to its highly activated state by cholera toxin treatment or fluoride addition, presumably as a result of their interaction with the specific binding protein which is responsible for inhibition of adenylate cyclase. This inhibition was totally abolished by IAP treatment of cells, making it very likely that IAP preferentially modulates GTP inhibitory responses, thereby increasing GTP-dependent activation and negating GTP-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase.
