Depolarization-induced changes in the muscarinic receptor in rat brain and heart are mediated by pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-proteins.
Muscarinic receptor properties in rat cortical and brain stem synaptoneurosomes and in heart myocytes were examined at resting potential and at depolarization. Depolarization induced the conversion of agonist-binding sites of the receptor from a high to a low affinity state, which could be reversed by a return to resting potential. No effect was observed on the affinity of the receptor for anta...
متن کاملRegulation of acetylated low density lipoprotein uptake in macrophages by pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins.
Class A scavenger receptors (SR-A) mediate the uptake of modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) by macrophages. Although not typically associated with the activation of intracellular signaling cascades, results with peritoneal macrophages indicate that the SR-A ligand acetylated LDL (AcLDL) promotes activation of cytosolic kinases and phospholipases. These signaling responses were blocked by th...
متن کاملC3a activates the respiratory burst in human polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes via pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins.
In contrast to C5a, which represents a well-established potent activator of the respiratory burst in polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes (PMN), the functional role of C3a in the activation of PMN is, so far, poorly understood. Herein, the potential role of human C3a in the activation of the respiratory burst in human PMN was investigated. The release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of ...
متن کاملIdentification of the pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins in platelets, megakaryocytes, and human erythroleukemia cells.
Guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins, or G proteins, mediate the interaction of agonist receptors on the platelet surface with phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase. To better understand this process, we have used several approaches to identify which G proteins are present in platelets, normal human megakaryocytes, and human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells, a leukemic cell line with megaka...
متن کاملPertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins regulate lymphoid lineage specification in multipotent hematopoietic progenitors.
Lymphoid and myeloid lineage segregation is a major developmental step during early hematopoiesis from hematopoietic stem cells. It is not clear, however, whether multipotent progenitors (MPPs) adopt a lymphoid or myeloid fate through stochastic mechanisms, or whether this process can be regulated by extracellular stimuli. In this study, we show that lymphoid lineage specification occurs in MPP...
