GTP-binding proteins in brain and neutrophil are tethered to the plasma membrane via their amino termini.

Abstract:

:Using specific antisera raised against synthetic peptides, we find that three distinct GTP-binding protein alpha subunits remain bound to the plasma membrane even after activation with nonhydrolyzable GTP analog. Trypsin cleaves each alpha subunit at a site near the amino-terminus, and quantitatively releases the large fragment (comprising all but an amino-terminal 2 kDa piece) from the membrane. Our results indicate that alpha subunits are essentially cytoplasmic proteins tethered to the inner surface of the membrane via an amino terminal stalk.

  • Down-regulation of integrin alpha M beta 2 ligand-binding function by the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor.

    abstract::The cell adhesion molecule integrin alphaMbeta2 associates with the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) on monocytes and neutrophils. uPAR also associates with members of the beta1 and beta3 integrins, and it modulates the ligand-binding function of these integrins. In this study, we showed that co-ex...
