A 68-kD GTP-binding protein associated with the T cell receptor complex
نویسندگان
چکیده
The identity of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) involved in T cell activation pathways remains unclear. We identified a 68-kD GTP-binding protein associated with the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex using immunoprecipitation and GTP-affinity labeling techniques. Proteins coimmunoprecipitated with the TCR/CD3 complex in digitonin lysate of a human leukemic T cell line, MOLT 16, were incubated with alpha-[32P]GTP and irradiated with ultraviolet rays to covalently link the labeled GTP to GTP-binding proteins. They were then analyzed by electrophoresis. The 68-kD protein exhibited nucleotide specificity for GTP-binding and was insensitive to cholera and pertussis toxins. The 68-kD GTP-binding protein could be coimmunoprecipitated with the TCR/CD3 complex but not with other surface molecules such as major histocompatibility complex class I and lymphocyte function associated-1, which do not cause rapid Ca2+ mobilization. These suggest that the 68-kD GTP-binding protein is specifically associated with the TCR/CD3 complex.

Directed Blocking of TGF-β Receptor I Binding Site Using Tailored Peptide Segments to Inhibit its Signaling Pathway
Background: TGF-β isoforms play crucial roles in diverse cellular processes. Therefore, targeting and inhibiting TGF-β signaling pathway provides a potential therapeutic opportunity. TGF-β isoforms bind and bring the receptors (TβRII and TβRI) together to form a signaling complex in an ordered manner. Objectives: Herein, an antagonistic variant of TGF-β (AnTβ)...
متن کاملRanBP1 stabilizes the interaction of Ran with p97 nuclear protein import
Three factors have been identified that reconstitute nuclear protein import in a permeabilized cell assay: the NLS receptor, p97, and Ran/TC4. Ran/TC4, in turn, interacts with a number of proteins that are involved in the regulation of GTP hydrolysis or are components of the nuclear pore. Two Ran-binding proteins, RanBP1 and RanBP2, form discrete complexes with p97 as demonstrated by immunoadso...
متن کاملPossible Involvement of a Specific Cell Surface Receptor for Calprotectin-Induced Apoptosis in Colon Adenocarcinoma and Carcinam Cell Lines (SW742 and HT29/219)
Calprotectin, a calcium-bound protein complex, is abundant in the cytosol of neutrophils. It has been reported that this protein has an apoptotic activity in tumor cells. Since calprotectin increases in colorectal cancer, this study was conducted to investigate, for the first time, the cytotoxicity/apoptotic effect of calprotectin on HT29/219 and SW742 colon carcinoma and adenocarcinoma cell li...

The signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated translocation of proteins across the RER is a GTP dependent process . Analysis of the primary amino acid sequence of one protein subunit of SRP (SRP54), as well as the a subunit of the SRP receptor (SRa), has indicated that these proteins contain predicted GTP binding sites . Several point mutations confined to the GTP binding consensus elements of...

A sex steroid-binding protein (SBP) that binds to 17 b-estradiol with high affinity and moderate capacity was identified in the plasma of female and juvenile of kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) sampled during the early stage of gonadal maturation in October and prior to spawning in March. Mean maximum specific binding (Bmax) and equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of the fish were as follows: In...
