Detection of G proteins in purified bovine brain myelin.

Abstract:

:Following a previous report on detection of muscarinic receptors in myelin with the implied presence of G proteins, we now demonstrate by more direct means the presence of such proteins and their quantification. Using [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTP gamma S) as the binding ligand, purified myelin from bovine brain was found to contain approximately half the binding activity of whole white matter (138 +/- 9 vs. 271 +/- 18 pmol/mg of protein). Scatchard analysis of saturation binding data revealed two slopes, a result suggesting at least two binding populations. This binding was inhibited by GTP and its analog but not by 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate [App(NH)p], GMP, or UTP. Following sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of myelin proteins and blotting on nitrocellulose, [alpha-32P]GTP bound to three bands in the 21-27-kDa range in a manner inhibited by GTP and GTP gamma S but not App(NH)p. ADP-ribosylation of myelin with [32P]NAD+ and cholera toxin labeled a protein of 43 kDa, whereas reaction with pertussis toxin labeled two components of 40 kDa. Cholate extract of myelin subjected to chromatography on a column of phenyl-Sepharose gave at least three major peaks of [35S]GTP gamma S binding activity. SDS-PAGE and immunoblot analyses of peak I indicated the presence of Go alpha, Gi alpha, and Gs alpha. Further fractionation of peak II by diethyl-aminoethyl-Sephacel chromatography gave one [35S]GTP gamma S binding peak with the low-molecular-mass (21-27 kDa) proteins and a second showing two major protein bands of 36 and 40 kDa on SDS-PAGE.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
