Receptors regulating acid secretion.

Abstract

Histamine stimulation of gastric acid secretion has for a long time been known to be mediated by an H2-type receptor located on the parietal cell surface, but the biochemical nature of this receptor has only very recently been elucidated. It is a 70-kDa glycoprotein showing structural analogies with the beta 2-adrenergic receptor and the other seven membrane-spanning domains/G protein-coupled receptors. It activates adenylated cyclase through a cholera toxin-sensitive, pertussis toxin-insensitive, guanosine 5'-triphosphatase-binding regulatory Gs protein. The cAMP thereby produced is believed to play a crucial role in the opening of the Cl- channel associated with the (H+,K+)-ATPase in the secretory membrane. However, other sites of action are likely to be involved, since several histamine- or cAMP-dependent phosphoproteins have been detected in the parietal cell. In addition to its action on cAMP production, histamine was found to produce a transient increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, but this effect remains unexplained. On the other hand, the intervention of an H3-type histamine receptor in the regulation of gastric acid secretion has recently been documented, but the cellular location of this new receptor has not been yet investigated.

Effect of salt bridge on transcription activation of CRP-dependent lactose operon in Escherichia coli.

Expression of catabolite-sensitive operons in Escherichia coli is cAMP-dependent and mediated through the CRP:cAMP complex binding to specific sequences in DNA. Five specific ionic or polar interactions occur in cAMP binding pocket of CRP. E72 interacts with the cAMP 2' OH, R82 and S83 interact with the negatively charged phosphate moiety, and T127 and S128 interact with the adenine ring. There is evidence to suggest that E72 and R82 may mediate an essential CRP molecular switch mechanism. Therefore, stimulation of CRP transcription activation was examined by perturbing these residues. Further, CRP:cAMP complex was treated with a specific DNA sequence containing the lac CRP binding site along with RNA polymerase to mimic in vivo conditions. Biochemical and biophysical results revealed that regulation of transcription activation depends on alignment of CRP tertiary structure through inter-domain communication and it was concluded that positions 72 and 82 are essential in the activation of CRP by cAMP.

Different nucleobase orientations in two cyclic 2',3'-phosphates of purine ribonucleosides: Et(3)NH(2',3'-cAMP) and Et(3)NH(2',3'-cGMP)xH(2)O.

The crystal structures of triethylammonium adenosine cyclic 2',3'-phosphate {systematic name: triethylammonium 4-(6-aminopurin-9-yl)-6-hydroxymethyl-2-oxido-2-oxoperhydrofurano[3,4-c][1,3,2]dioxaphosphole}, Et(3)NH(2',3'-cAMP) or C(6)H(16)N(+).C(10)H(11)N(5)O(6)P(-), (I), and guanosine cyclic 2',3'-phosphate monohydrate {systematic name: triethylammonium 6-hydroxymethyl-2-oxido-2-oxo-4-(6-oxo-1,6-dihydropurin-9-yl)perhydrofurano[3,4-c][1,3,2]dioxaphosphole monohydrate}, [Et(3)NH(2',3'-cGMP)].H(2)O or C(6)H(16)N(+).C(10)H(11)N(5)O(7)P(-).H(2)O, (II), reveal different nucleobase orientations, viz. anti in (I) and syn in (II). These are stabilized by different inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The structures also exhibit different ribose ring puckering [(4)E in (I) and (3)T(2) in (II)] and slightly different 1,3,2-dioxaphospholane ring conformations, viz. envelope in (I) and puckered in (II). Infinite ribbons of 2',3'-cAMP(-) and helical chains of 2',3'-cGMP(-) ions, both formed by O-H...O, N-H...X and C-H...X (X = O or N) hydrogen-bond contacts, characterize (I) and (II), respectively.

Whole spectrum analysis of ligand efficacy at constitutively active human wild-type and S267K 5-HT6 receptors in HEK-293F cells.

INTRODUCTION: Modulation of constitutive activity by the recombinant wild-type human 5-HT6 receptor was investigated with a series of 5-HT6 receptor ligands by monitoring the cAMP signalling pathway. The impact of the mutation S267K near the B(261)BXXB(265) CIII-loop motif was analyzed on the magnitude of constitutive receptor activity as previously conflicting results have been reported. METHODS: The wild-type 5-HT6 receptor plasmid was obtained by PCR and the mutant S267K5-HT6 receptor was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and stably transfected in HEK-293F cells by electroporation. The cAMP signalling pathway was monitored as a functional read-out to investigate ligands' responses using homogeneous time resolved fluorescence. RESULTS: Constitutive activity was present both at wild-type and mutant S267K 5-HT6 receptors. Negative efficacy (E(max), % versus basal) as observed at nanomolar concentrations with SB-271046 was larger for mutant (-92+/-1%) than wild-type 5-HT6 receptor (-45+/-1%). Ro 04-6790 also demonstrated negative efficacy at the wild-type 5-HT6 receptor with a magnitude similar to SB-271046 but with a 36-fold lower potency. MS-245 demonstrated at nanomolar concentrations intermediate negative efficacy; -48+/-3% and -16+/-2% at mutant and wild-type 5-HT6 receptor, respectively. The 5-HT-mediated cAMP response was blocked by SB-271046, MS-245 and Ro 04-6790 to their respective level of negative efficacy with pKB values fitting with their binding pK(i) values. E-6801 was a highly potent (pEC50: 10.17 to 10.19) and efficacious agonist (+98 to +102% versus 5-HT) at both wild-type and mutant 5-HT6 receptors. DISCUSSION: The recombinant wild-type human 5-HT6 receptor is constitutively active in HEK-293F cells and displays a high resolution to monitor efficacy properties of 5-HT6 receptor ligands. The resolution capacity to differentiate between efficacy properties of 5-HT6 receptor ligands, in particular for negative efficacy, can be further enhanced by monitoring the mutant S267K 5-HT6 receptor.
