The structural basis for insulin-like growth factor I receptor high affinity binding.

چکیده
We have recently identified high and low affinity insulin-like growth factor I (IGF I) binding sites in solubilized human placental membranes and purified the high affinity IGF I receptor by IGF I affinity chromatography (Tollefsen, S. E., Thompson, K., and Petersen, D. J. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 16461-16469). To define the structural basis for high affinity IGF I binding, we have examined the effect of disulfide bond reduction on the binding parameters of the high affinity IGF I receptor. We find that the disulfide bonds linking the two alpha beta dimers of the IGF I receptor heterotetramer are reduced by incubation at pH 8.75 with 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) for 5 min at room temperature. Gel filtration chromatography on a Superose 12 fast protein liquid chromatography column indicates that the alpha beta dimers do not remain associated by noncovalent interactions after reduction. Scatchard plots of IGF I binding to the IGF I receptor incubated at pH 8.75 with or without DTT indicate that the IGF I receptor alpha beta dimers have a 6.1 +/- 1.6 (mean +/- S.D.) times lower affinity than the heterotetramer for IGF I. The total binding capacity of the IGF I receptor treated with DTT is 1.6 +/- 0.3 (mean +/- S.D.) times higher than that of an equal amount of receptor treated without DTT. These results are consistent with a model in which the heterotetramer binds a single IGF I molecule with high affinity, whereas each of the two alpha beta dimers binds an IGF I molecule with lower affinity after dissociation. We conclude that association of two alpha beta dimers is required for formation of an IGF I receptor with high affinity for its ligand.

Investigation on the Levels of IGF-I Receptor and IGF-I Binding Protein I in the Brain of Insulin Resistant Rats
Abstract Introduction: There is limited knowledge available on the metabolism of glucose in the brain, an insulin insensitive organ. Insulin receptors hybridize with insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-I) to transduce the signals in different areas of the brain. In this article we aimed at investigating whether the expression of IGF-I receptor and IGF-I binding proteins (IGFBP1) is change...

We have prepared by semisynthetic methods a two-chain insulin/insulin-like growth factor I hybrid that contains a synthetic peptide related to residues 22-41 of insulin-like growth factor I linked via peptide bond to ArgB22 of des-octapeptide-(B23-B30)-insulin and have applied the analog to the analysis of ligand interactions with the type I insulin-like growth factor and insulin receptors of p...

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...

We studied the nature of insulin receptor binding in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. In both intact cells and solubilized receptor preparations, high-affinity insulin binding was seen. However, unlabeled insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) was five-fold more potent in inhibiting 125I-insulin binding than insulin itself. With monoclonal antibodies to the insulin receptor, 30% of 125I-insulin binding...
