چکیده

A conjugate (125I-BH-SP) between substance P and 125I-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent binds reversibly to a single class of high affinity (Kd = 4 nM) binding sites on dispersed rat parotid cells. The total number of binding sites is 49 +/- 17 fmol/mg of protein. The binding affinity of 13 fragments and analogs of substance P correlates with their relative potency in stimulating salivation. The smallest fragment of substance P which exhibits significant binding affinity and saliva-stimulating activity is the COOH-terminal hexa(6-11)peptide. Structurally unrelated neurotransmitters and hormones do not affect the parotid cell binding of 125 I-BH-SP. 125I-BH-SP pre-bound to the cells was recovered mainly in the particulate fractions of the cell homogenate. The 125I-BH-SP binding activity of the parotid cells was inactivated by pretreatment of the cells with papain but not with ribonuclease A or deoxyribonuclease I. Our results suggest that 125I-BH-SP binds to a substance P receptor on parotid membranes and that the receptor, at least in part, may be a protein.

Characterization of the Substance P Receptor in Rat Brain Cortex Membranes and the Inhibition of Radioligand Binding

Rat brain cortex membranes bind to a conjugate of substance P and 12SI-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent, and this binding can be inhibited by a low concentration of substance P ( K d = 1.2 f 0.4 X lo-* M). This binding is reversible and saturable (0.5 f 0.1 pmol of binding sites/mg of protein). Fragments of substance P as small as the carboxyl-terminal hexapeptide can inhibit the binding although ...

Modulation of PKCdelta tyrosine phosphorylation and activity in salivary and PC-12 cells by Src kinases.

Protein kinase C (PKC) delta becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in rat parotid acinar cells exposed to muscarinic and substance P receptor agonists, which initiate fluid secretion in this salivary cell. Here we examine the signaling components of PKCdelta tyrosine phosphorylation and effects of phosphorylation on PKCdelta activity. Carbachol- and substance P-promoted increases in PKCdelta tyrosine...

Expression and localization of Rab3D in rat parotid gland.

Rab3 proteins (isoforms A, B, C and D) are low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins proposed to be involved in regulated exocytosis. In the present study, Rab3 protein expression and localization was examined in rat parotid gland by reverse transcription (rt) PCR, Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. An approximately 200 bp PCR product was obtained from parotid RNA by rtPCR and this fragm...

Plasma membrane of the rat parotid gland: preparation and partial characterization of a fraction containing the secretory surface

A plasma membrane fraction from the rat parotid gland has been prepared by a procedure which selectively enriches for large membrane sheets. This fraction appears to have preserved several ultrastructural features of the acinar cell surface observed in situ. Regions of membrane resembling the acinar luminal border appear as compartments containing microvillar invaginations, bounded by elements ...
