Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distinct vasopressin receptors are involved in different physiological and behavioural functions. Presently, no selective agonist is available to specifically elucidate the functional roles of the V1A receptor in the rat, one of the most widely used animal models. FE 201874 is a new derivative of the human selective V1A receptor agonist F180. In this study, we performed a multi-approach pharmacological and functional characterization of FE 201874 to determine whether it is selective for V1A receptors. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We modified an available human selective V1A receptor agonist (F180) and determined its pharmacological properties in cell lines expressing vasopressin/oxytocin receptors (affinity and coupling to second messenger cascades), in an ex vivo model (aorta ring contraction) and in vivo in rats (proliferation of adrenal cortex glomerulosa cells and lactation). KEY RESULTS FE 201874 exhibited nanomolar affinity for the rat V1A receptor; it was highly selective towards the rat V1B and V2 vasopressin receptors and behaved as a full V1A agonist in all the pharmacological tests performed. FE 201874 bound to the oxytocin receptor, but with moderate affinity, and behaved as an oxytocin antagonist in vitro, but not in vivo. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS On functional grounds, all the data demonstrate that FE 201874 is the first selective agonist of the rat V1A receptor isoform available. Hence, FE 201874 may have potential as a treatment for the vasodilator-induced hypotension occurring in conditions such as septic shock and could be the most suitable compound for discriminating between the behavioural effects of arginine vasopressin and oxytocin.

Abstract
Recent developments in the field of optical super-resolution techniques allow both a 10-fold increase in resolution as well as an increased ability to quantify the number of labeled molecules visualized in the fluorescence measurement. By using photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) and an experimental approach based on the systematic comparison with a nonclustering peptide as a negative control, we found that the prototypical G protein-coupled receptor β2-adrenergic receptor is partially preassociated in nanoscale-sized clusters only in the cardiomyocytes, such as H9C2 cells, but not in other cell lines, such as HeLa and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO). The addition of the agonist for very short times or the addition of the inverse agonist did not significantly affect the organization of receptor assembly. To investigate the mechanism governing cluster formation, we altered plasma membrane properties with cholesterol removal and actin microfilament disruption. Although cholesterol is an essential component of cell membranes and it is supposed to be enriched in the lipid rafts, its sequestration and removal did not affect receptor clustering, whereas the inhibition of actin polymerization did decrease the number of clusters. Our findings are therefore consistent with a model in which β2 receptor clustering is influenced by the actin cytoskeleton, but it does not rely on lipid raft integrity, thus ruling out the possibility that cell type-specific β2 receptor clustering is associated with the raft.

Abstract
The peptide oxytocin (OT) antagonist atosiban, approved for tocolytic use in Europe (under the tradename Tractocile), represents an important new therapeutic advance for the treatment of premature labor. This paper presents some new peptide OT antagonists which offer promise as superior tocolytics. The solid phase synthesis is reported of four pairs of L and D-2-naphthylalanine (L/D-2Nal) position-2 modified analogs of the following four oxytocin (OT) antagonists: des-9-glycinamide [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-pentamethylene propionic acid), 2-O-methyltyrosine, 4-threonine]ornithine-vasotocin (desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4)]OVT) (A); the Tyr-NH(2) (9) analog of (A), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT (B); the Eda(9) analog of (A), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT (C); and the retro COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10) modified analog of (C), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10)]OVT (D). The eight new analogs of A-D are (1) desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4)]OVT, (2) desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[2-Nal(2),Thr(4)]OVT, (3) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT, (4) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT, (5) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT, (6) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT, (7) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10)]OVT, (8) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-OH)(10)]OVT. Peptides 1-8 were evaluated for agonistic and antagonistic activities in in vitro and in vivo rat bioassays, in rat OT receptor (rOTR) binding assays and in human OT receptor (hOTR) and human vasopressin (VP) vasopressor (V(1a)) receptor (hV(1a)R) binding assays. Also reported are the hOTR and hV(1a)R affinity data for atosiban and for B. None of the eight peptides exhibit oxytocic or vasopressor agonism. Peptides 1-8 exhibit weak antidiuretic agonism (activities in the range 0.014-0.21 U/mg). Peptides 1-6 exhibit potent in vitro (no Mg(2+)) OT antagonism (anti-OT pA(2) values range from 7.63 to 8.08). Peptides 7 and 8 are weaker OT antagonists. Peptides 1-6 are all OT antagonists in vivo (estimated in vivo anti-OT pA(2) values in the range 6.94-7.23). Peptides 1-8 exhibit vasopressor antagonism, anti-V(1a) pA(2) values in the range 5.1-7.65. Peptides 1-8 exhibit high affinities for the rOTR (K(i) values = 0.3-7.8 nM). Peptides 1-4 and B exhibit surprisingly very high affinities for the hOTR; their K(i) values are 0.17, 0.29, 0.07, 0.14 and 0.59 nM, respectively. Peptides 1-4 and B exhibit respectively 449, 263, 1091, 546 and 129 times greater affinity for the hOTR than atosiban (K(i) = 76.4 nM). Peptides 1-4 exhibit high affinities for the hV(1a)R (K(i)s = 1.1 nM, 1.3 nM, 0.19 nM and 0.54 nM, all higher than the hV1(a)R affinities exhibited by atosiban (K(i) = 5.1 nM) and by B (K(i) = 5.26 nM). Because of their strikingly higher affinities for the hOTR than atosiban, peptides 1-4 and B exhibit gains in anti hOT/anti hV(1a) receptor selectivity compared with atosiban of 93, 64, 39, 56 and 127, respectively. These OT antagonists are thus promising candidates for development as potential new tocolytic agents.

Abstract
To identify the binding site of the human V1a vasopressin receptor for the selective nonpeptide antagonist SR49059, we have developed a site-directed irreversible labeling strategy that combines mutagenesis of the receptor and use of sulfydryl-reactive ligands. Based on a three-dimensional model of the antagonist docked into the receptor, hypothetical ligand-receptor interactions were investigated by replacing the residues potentially involved in the binding of the antagonist into cysteines and designing analogues of SR49059 derivatized with isothiocyanate or alpha-chloroacetamide moieties. The F225C, F308C, and K128C mutants of the V1a receptor were expressed in COS-7 or Chinese hamster ovary cells, and their pharmacological properties toward SR49059 and its sulfydryl-reactive analogues were analyzed. We demonstrated that treatment of the F225C mutant with the isothiocyanate-derivative compound led to dose-dependent inhibition of the residual binding of the radio-labeled antagonist [125I]HO-LVA. This inhibition is probably the consequence of a covalent irreversible chemical modification, which is only possible when close contacts and optimal orientations exist between reactive groups created both on the ligand and the receptor. This result validated the three-dimensional model hypothesis. Thus, we propose that residue Phe225, located in transmembrane domain V, directly participates in the binding of the V1a-selective nonpeptide antagonist SR49059. This conclusion is in complete agreement with all our previous data on the definition of the agonist/antagonist binding to members of the oxytocin/vasopressin receptor family.

Abstract
Fluorescent antagonists for human 5-HT(4) receptors were synthesized based on ML10302 1, a potent 5-HT(4) receptor agonist and on piperazine analogue 2. These molecules were derived with three fluorescent moieties, dansyl, naphthalimide, and NBD (7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl), through alkyl chains. The synthesized molecules were evaluated in binding assays on the recently cloned human 5-HT(4(e)) receptor isoform stably expressed in C6 glial cells with [(3)H]GR113808 as the radioligand. The affinity values depended upon the basal structure together with the alkyl chain length. The derivatives based on ML10302 were more potent ligands than the derivatives based on piperazine analogue. For ML10302-based ligands, dansyl and NBD derivatives attached through a chain length of one carbon atom 17a and 32, respectively, led to affinities close to the affinity of ML10302. The most potent compounds 17a, 28, and 32 produced an inhibition of the 5-HT stimulated cyclic AMP synthesis in the same cellular system with nanomolar K(b) values. Fluorescent properties of 17a, 28, and 32 were more particularly studied. Interactions of the fluorescent ligand 28 with the h5-HT(4(e)) receptor were indicated using h5-HT(4(e)) receptor transfected C6 glial cell membranes and entire cells. Ligand 28 was also used in fluorescence microscopy experiments in order to label h5-HT(4(e)) receptor transfected C6 glial cells, and subcellular localization of these receptors was more precisely determined using confocal microscopy.

Abstract
The fluoresceinyl (Flu) group has been linked by an amide bond to the side chain amino group at position 8 of (a) two oxytocin (OT) antagonists, to give d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu),Tyr-NH(2)(9)]VT (Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu)OTA) (1) and desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[D- Tyr(2),Thr(4),Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (2), and (b) eight Lys(8) and Orn(8) analogues of potent OT agonists, to give d[Lys(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (3), d[Thr(4),Lys(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (4), [HO(1)][Lys(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (5), [HO(1)][Thr(4),Lys(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (6), d[Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (7), d[Thr(4),Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (8), [HO(1)][Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (9), and [HO(1)][Thr(4),Orn(8)(5/6C-Flu)]VT (10). The tetramethylrhodamyl (Rhm) group was attached to the precursor peptide of 9 to give [HO(1)][Orn(8)(5/6C-Rhm)]VT (11). All 11 fluorescent peptides were evaluated in human OT and vasopressin V(1a) (vasoconstrictor), V(1b) (pituitary), and V(2) (antidiuretic) receptor binding and functional assays. With K(d) = 6.24, 217, >10000, and >10000 nM for the OT, V(1a), V(1b), and V(2) receptors, peptide 1 is a potent and selective fluorescent OT antagonist and may be useful for specifically labeling OT receptors while peptide 2 exhibits low affinities for all the receptors. The fluorescent peptides 3-10 are all very potent agonists for the human OT receptor. They exhibit the following K(d) values (nM) for the human OT, V(1a), V(1b), and V(2) receptors, respectively: (3) 0.29, 57, 124, >10000; (4) 1.8, 25.5, 150, >10000; (5) 0.34, 13.7, 66, nd (not determined); (6) 0.32, 17.3, 53, >10000; (7) 0.25, 107, 393, >10000; (8) 0.40, 30, 282, >10000; (9) 0.18, 12.2, 126, nd; (10) 0.17, 11.8, 87, >1000; (11) 0.092, 7.36, nd, nd. Peptide 7 exhibits both a high affinity and a high selectivity for human OT receptors. Peptides 7 and 11 were utilized to study the internalization of the OT receptor-ligand complex. Preliminary studies indicate that this process is similar to that observed for the vasopressin V(1a) receptor and differs from that observed for vasopressin V(2) receptors. Some or all of the fluorescent OT antagonists and agonists reported here are very promising new fluorescent ligands for labeling cells which express the human OT receptor and are also useful tools to follow endocytosis of the receptor-ligand complex.

Abstract
1. The pharmacological properties of F-180, a vasopressin (VP) structural analogue, were determined on CHO cells expressing the different human vasopressin and oxytocin (OT) receptor subtypes. Binding experiments revealed that F-180 exhibited a high affinity for the human V(1a) receptor subtype (K(i)=11 nM) and was selective for this receptor subtype. 2. Functional studies performed on CHO cells expressing human V(1a) receptors indicate that similarly to AVP, F-180 can stimulate the accumulation of inositol phosphate. The activation constant (K(act)) for both F-180 and AVP was 1.7 nM. F-180 was also an agonist for the human V(2) and V(1b) receptor subtypes and an antagonist for the human OT receptor. 3. Since marked species pharmacological differences for vasopressin receptors have been described, we studied the properties of F-180 on various mammalian species. F-180 showed high affinity and good selectivity for human and bovine V(1a) receptors, but weak affinity and non selective properties for rat V(1a) receptors. 4. To assess the functional properties of F-180 on a native biological model, we performed studies on primary cultures of cells from bovine zona fasciculata (ZF). As AVP, F-180 stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation and cortisol secretion with similar efficiency. 5. In conclusion, we demonstrate that F-180 is the first selective V(1a) agonist described for human and bovine vasopressin receptors. Therefore F-180 can be used as a powerful pharmacological tool to characterize the actions of vasopressin that are mediated by V(1a) receptor subtypes.

Abstract
Understanding of the molecular determinants responsible for antagonist binding to the oxytocin receptor should provide important insights that facilitate rational design of potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of preterm labor. To study ligand/receptor interactions, we used a novel photosensitive radioiodinated antagonist of the human oxytocin receptor, d(CH(2))(5) [Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Orn(8),Phe(3(125)I,4N(3))-NH(2)9]vasotocin. This ligand had an equivalent high affinity for human oxytocin and V(1a) vasopressin receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Taking advantage of this dual specificity, we conducted photoaffinity labeling experiments on both receptors. Photolabeled oxytocin and V(1a) receptors appeared as a unique protein band at 70-75 kDa and two labeled protein bands at 85-90 and 46 kDa, respectively. To identify contact sites between the antagonist and the receptors, the labeled 70-75- and the 46-kDa proteins were cleaved with CNBr and digested with Lys-C and Arg-C endoproteinases. The fragmentation patterns allowed the identification of a covalently labeled region in the oxytocin receptor transmembrane domain III consisting of the residues Leu(114)-Val(115)-Lys(116). Analysis of contact sites in the V(1a) receptor led to the identification of the homologous region consisting of the residues Val(126)-Val(127)-Lys(128). Binding domains were confirmed by mutation of several CNBr cleavage sites in the oxytocin receptor and of one Lys-C cleavage site in the V(1a) receptor. The results are in agreement with previous experimental data and three-dimensional models of agonist and antagonist binding to members of the oxytocin/vasopressin receptor family.

Abstract
Prompted by conflicting literature, this study compared the pharmacology of human 5-hydroxytryptamine2 (5-HT2) receptors expressed in SH-SY5Y cells using a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) based Ca2+ assay. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) increased intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) at 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors (pEC(50)=7.73+/-0.03, 8.86+/-0.04 and 7.99+/-0.04, respectively) and these responses were inhibited by mesulergine (pKB=7.42+/-0.06, 8.77+/-0.10 and 9.52+/-0.11). A range of selective agonists and antagonists displayed the expected pharmacology at each receptor subtype. Sodium butyrate pretreatment increased receptor expression in SH-SY5Y/5-HT2B (15-fold) and SH-SY5Y/5-HT2C cells (7-fold) and increased agonist potencies and relative efficacies. In contrast, sodium butyrate pretreatment of SH-SY5Y/5-HT(2A) cells did not affect receptor expression. The present study provides a direct comparison of agonist and antagonist pharmacology at 5-HT(2) receptor subtypes in a homogenous system and confirms that agonist potency and efficacy varies with the level of receptor expression.

Abstract
A novel photoactivatable linear peptide antagonist selective for the V(1a) vasopressin receptor, [(125)I][Lys(3N(3) Phpa)(8)]HO-LVA, was synthesized, characterized, and used to photolabel the human receptor expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Two specific glycosylated protein species at 85-90 and 46 kDa were covalently labeled, a result identical to that obtained with a previous photosensitive ligand, [(125)I]3N(3)Phpa-LVA (Phalipou, S., Cotte, N. , Carnazzi, E., Seyer, R., Mahe, E., Jard, S., Barberis, C., and Mouillac, B. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 26536-26544). To identify contact sites between the new photoreactive analogue and the V(1a) receptor, the labeled receptors were digested with Lys-C or Asp-N endoproteinases and chemically cleaved with CNBr. Fragmentation with CNBr, Lyc-C, and Asp-N used alone or in combination, led to the identification of a restricted receptor region spanning the first extracellular loop. The results established that sequence Asp(112)-Pro(120) could be considered as the smallest covalently labeled fragment with [(125)I][Lys(3N(3)Phpa)(8)]HO-LVA. Based on the present experimental result and on previous photoaffinity labeling data obtained with [(125)I]3N(3)Phpa-LVA (covalent attachment to transmembrane domain VII), three-dimensional models of the antagonist-bound receptors were constructed and then verified by site-directed mutagenesis studies. Strikingly, these two linear peptide antagonists, when bound to the V(1a) receptor, could adopt a pseudocyclic conformation similar to that of the cyclic agonists. Despite divergent functional properties, these peptide antagonists could interact with a transmembrane-binding site significantly overlapping that of the natural hormone vasopressin.

Abstract
Fluoresceinyl and rhodamyl groups have been coupled by an amide link to side-chain amino groups at positions 1, 6, and 8 of pseudo-peptide linear vasopressin antagonists (Manning et al. Int. J. Pept. Protein Res. 1992, 40, 261-267) through different positions on the fluorophore, to give tetraethylrhodamyl-DTyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Arg-Tyr-NH2 (2), 4-HOPh(CH2)2CO-DTyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Lys(5-carboxyfl uoresceinyl)-Pro-A rg-NH2 (4), 4-HOPh(CH2)2CO-DTyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Lys(5- or 6-carboxytetramethylrhodamyl)-Pro-Arg-NH2 (5, 6), 4-HOPh(CH2)2CO-DTyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Lys(5- or 6- carboxyfluoresceinyl)-NH2 (8, 9), and 4-HOPh(CH2)2CO-DTyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Lys(5- or 6- carboxytetramethylrhodamyl)-NH2 (10, 11). The closer to the C-terminus the fluorophore, the higher the affinities of the fluorescent derivatives for the human vasopressin V1a receptor transfected in CHO cells. The compound 10 has a Ki of 70 pM, as determined by competition experiments with [125I]-4-HOPhCH2CO-DTyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Arg-NH2. It showed a good selectivity for human V1a receptor versus human OT (Ki = 1.2 nM), human vasopressin V1b (Ki approximately 27 nM), and human vasopressin V2 (Ki > 5000 nM) receptor subtypes. All fluorescent analogues were antagonists as shown by the inhibition of vasopressin induced inositol phosphate accumulation. These fluorescent ligands are efficient for labeling cells expressing the human V1a receptor subtype, as shown by flow cytofluorometric experiments or fluorescence microscopy. They are also appropriate tools for structural analysis of the vasopressin receptors by fluorescence.

Abstract
1. This study describes the pharmacological comparison of the muscarinic partial agonists sabcomeline, xanomeline and milameline at human cloned muscarinic receptor subtypes (hM1-5). 2. Radioligand binding studies at the hM1-5 muscarinic receptor subtypes were compared with functional studies using microphysiometry using carbachol as the standard full agonist. 3. In binding assays none of the compounds studied displayed preferential affinity for the M1,3,4 or M5 subtypes although carbachol was less potent at hM1 than hM3,4,5. 4. In functional studies, all of the compounds studied displayed similar levels of efficacy across the muscarinic receptors with the exception of M3, where there was a large apparent receptor reserve and the compounds behaved essentially as full agonists. 5. Sabcomeline was the most potent agonist in functional studies but also showed the lowest efficacy. In terms of potency, xanomeline showed some selectivity for M1 over M2 receptors and milameline showed some selectivity for M2 over M1 receptors. 6. These results show the value of microphysiometry in being able to compare receptor pharmacology across subtypes irrespective of the signal transduction pathway. 7. None of the partial agonists showed functional selectivity for M1 receptors, or indeed any muscarinic receptor, in the present study.

Abstract
The study of antagonist-binding domains of the human V1a vasopressin receptor was performed using a radioiodinated photoreactive peptide antagonist. This ligand displayed a high affinity for the receptor expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cell membranes, and specifically labeled two protein bands with apparent molecular mass at 85-90 and 46 kDa. Our results clearly show that the V1a receptor is degraded during incubation with the ligand and that the 46-kDa species is probably the result of the 85-90-kDa species proteolytic cleavage. Truncation of the receptor was then confirmed by deglycosylation with N-glycosidase F. A monoclonal antibody directed against a c-Myc epitope added at the receptor NH2 terminus allowed immunoprecipitation of the 85-90-kDa photolabeled species. The 46-kDa photolabeled protein never immunoprecipitated, indicating that the truncated form of the receptor lacks the NH2 terminus region. To localize photolabeled domains of the receptor, the 46-kDa protein was cleaved with V8 and/or Lys-C endoproteinases. The identity of the smallest photolabeled fragment, observed at approximately 6 kDa, was then confirmed by mutation of the potential V8 cleavage sites. Our results indicate that covalent labeling of the vasopressin V1a receptor with the photoreactive antagonist occurs in a region including transmembrane domain VII (residues Asn327-Lys370).

Abstract
HeLa cells express low levels of beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) of the beta 2-subtype. When exposed to sodium butyrate, receptor levels increased up to 4-fold in a time dependent manner, reaching a maximum after 12 to 15 h of treatment. Sodium butyrate treatment also caused a 3 to 4 fold increase in levels of beta 2AR mRNA determined by hybridization blot analysis. The induction of beta 2AR mRNA temporally preceded the increase in receptor binding activity, reaching a maximum after 4 to 6 h of treatment, and remaining elevated for up to 24 h. Prior exposure of the cells to the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide prevented the butyrate-induced increase in receptor binding but had no effect on the increase in receptor mRNA. Blocking DNA synthesis and cell growth by excess thymidine did not increase beta 2AR mRNA or binding or prevent the effects of sodium butyrate. Thus, butyrate appears to induce beta 2AR mRNA by a mechanism independent of DNA and protein synthesis.

Abstract
We previously reported that when the oligosaccharide of ganglioside GM1 is covalently attached to cell surface proteins of GM1-deficient rat glioma C6 cells, the cells bind large amounts of cholera toxin (CT) but their cAMP response to CT is not enhanced [Pacuszka, T., & Fishman, P. H. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 7673-7668]. We now report that when such cells were exposed to CT in the presence of chloroquine, an acidotropic agent, they accumulated cAMP. This raised the possibility that CT bound to cell surface "neoganglioproteins" may be entering the cells through a different pathway from that of CT-bound GM1. To further explore this phenomenon, we covalently attached GM1 oligosaccharide to human transferrin (Tf). The modified protein (GM1OS-Tf) bound with high affinity to Tf receptors on HeLa cells and increased the binding of CT to the cells. The bound CT, however, was unable to activate adenylyl cyclase as measured by cyclic AMP accumulation. By contrast, treatment of HeLa cells with GM1 increased both CT binding and stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation. Control cells and cells treated with either GM1 or GM1OS-Tf were exposed to CT in the presence of chloroquine. Whereas chloroquine had little or no effect on the response of control or GM1-treated cells to CT, it made the cells treated with GM1OS-Tf responsive to the toxin. Our results indicate that CT bound to its natural receptor GM1 enters the cells through a pathway different from that of toxin bound to neoganglioproteins.

Abstract
Pretreatment of striatal membranes with N-ethylmaleimide in the presence of a D1-specific agonist inactivated endogenous guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins), but not D1 dopamine receptors, resulting in a loss of high-affinity agonist binding sites. Such D1 receptors were solubilized, mixed with exogenous G proteins from cells not containing D1 receptors, and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. These reconstituted receptors were able to couple to the exogenous G proteins, and the proportion of agonist high-affinity sites of the receptor (40-57%) was similar to levels obtained with naive receptors coupling to endogenous G proteins (40%) upon solubilization and reconstitution. These hybrid high-affinity sites were fully modulated by guanine nucleotides. Pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin prior to extraction of G proteins resulted in a 50% decrease in the proportion of high-affinity sites; these sites remained sensitive to guanine nucleotides. When D1 receptors were reconstituted with extracts of cyc- cells, which lack stimulatory G proteins, the proportion of high-affinity sites was reduced to 31% of the total. Pertussis toxin treatment of the cyc- cells completely abolished the formation of high-affinity sites. These results demonstrate that D1-dopaminergic receptors are able to couple to not only stimulatory G proteins (Gs), but also to inhibitory G proteins (Gi).

Abstract
In pituitary GH1 cells, a rat growth hormone-producing cell line, butyrate elicited a dose-dependent increase in cholera toxin receptors as measured by an increased binding of 125I-labeled cholera toxin to the intact cells. Butyrate did not alter the affinity of cholera toxin binding, the dissociation constant being 0.4 nM for both control and butyrate-treated cells. Despite the increased binding, the cAMP response to cholera toxin was strongly reduced after exposure to butyrate. This reduction was dose-dependent and with butyrate 1--5 mM, intracellular and extracellular (medium) cAMP levels were decreased by more than 70% in cells incubated for 24 h with 1 nM cholera toxin. Forskolin (30 microM) elicited a cAMP response similar to that found with the toxin, and a similar inhibition of cAMP was also found after incubation of GH1 cells with butyrate. Butyrate also affected basal cAMP levels which were reduced by 40--60% in cells cultured for 24--48 h with the fatty acid. In order to study whether butyrate influenced cAMP synthesis and/or cAMP degradation, adenylyl cyclase and phosphodiesterase activities were determined in control cells and in cells incubated for 24 h with cholera toxin or forskolin. Butyrate had a dual effect since, besides activating phosphodiesterase by more than twofold, it also inhibited the cyclase by 40--50% in all groups. The in vitro response of adenylyl cyclase to stimulatory (NaF) and inhibitory (carbachol and adenosine) effectors was also examined. The absolute activity of the cyclase was always 40--50% lower in the cells incubated with butyrate, but the percentage change of activity obtained in butyrate-treated and untreated cells was unaltered. In addition, ADP-ribosylation of the guanine nucleotide stimulatory component of the cyclase (Gs) was not affected in the cells incubated with butyrate. These results suggest that the catalytic (C) subunit of adenylyl cyclase and/or its interaction with the regulatory components might be altered in butyrate-treated GH1 cells. The inhibition of the cAMP response in GH1 cells was accompanied by an inhibition of a biological action of the nucleotide, namely growth hormone (somatotropin) production which is primarily controlled by thyroid hormones in these cells. Forskolin alone did not affect the somatotropin levels but potentiated the growth hormone response to triiodothyronine. Butyrate produced a dose-dependent inhibition of this response, which was totally abolished at concentrations of butyrate higher than 1 mM.

Abstract
Receptor-effector coupling in the adenylate cyclase (AC) system was studied using fusion transfer of rat or monkey frontal cortex membranes to Friend erythroleukemia (Fc) cells. The indigenous AC activity of cortex membranes had previously been inactivated with N-ethylmaleimide. In the fusates, the AC activity could be stimulated through beta-adrenoceptors using noradrenaline (NA), or through specific receptors for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), or by fluoride which activates the effector components of the AC-system directly, bypassing receptors. There was a critical stoichiometric relationship between the receptor-stimulated cAMP output and the number of recipient cells of the fusion system, i.e. the total AC capacity as measured by fluoride stimulation. In fusates with rat brain membranes, the beta-adrenoceptor coupling increased as the availability of recipient cells increased; on the other hand, the excess of recipient cells did not change the VIP receptor coupling capacity. In fusates with monkey brain membranes, the situation was the opposite: VIP receptor coupling increased as larger amounts of recipient cells were made available, but the beta-adrenoceptor coupling capacity remained unchanged. The differences in coupling capacities were related to differences in receptor binding with higher beta-adrenoceptor density in rat than in monkey frontal cortex membranes, as opposed to higher VIP receptor density in monkey than in rat frontal cortex membranes. Neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY) attenuated both NA- and VIP-induced activation of AC in the fusates; it was equally potent against both agents. In rat brain membrane fusates, the NA-induced AC activity was attenuated in a dose-dependent and apparently non-competitive manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Several drugs known to induce differentiation in tumor cells were analyzed for their effects on the beta-adrenergic receptor-coupled adenylate cyclase system in two human carcinoma cell lines, HeLa and A431. Each of the drugs was tested alone or in combination with sodium butyrate (NaBu), a known inducer of this signal transduction system. Puromycine amino nucleoside (PMAN) caused the largest increase in beta-adrenergic receptors in HeLa cells followed by hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) whereas 5'-azacytidine (5AZC) was ineffective. In addition, PMAN but not the others acted together with NaBu to elevate receptor levels 12-fold over control values. In contrast, HMBA and 5AZC were much more effective on A431 cells, PMAN caused only a slight increase in beta receptors and none of the drugs acted in concert with NaBu. The increase in beta receptors was usually accompanied by a corresponding increase in isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. These effects of the drugs appeared to require protein synthesis as they were blocked by cycloheximide. In addition, some of the drugs caused a substantial decrease in basal adenylate cyclase activity. This effect on basal activity was abolished in cells treated with pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates the inhibitory GTP-binding protein, Gi. Both HeLa and A431 cells contained a 41 kDalton substrate for the toxin which corresponds to the alpha subunit of Gi. The Gi subunit was ADP-ribosylated by the toxin to a similar extent in membranes from control and drug-treated cells. Thus, the drugs appear to induce quantitative changes in beta-adrenergic receptors and qualitative changes in Gi which results in a highly responsive beta-adrenergic-stimulated adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
Long-term treatment of NCB-20 cells with sodium butyrate resulted in a marked increase in the specific binding of [3H]D-Ala2,D-Leu5 enkephalin. This increase was concentration and time dependent, with an EC50 of about 480 microM and a maximal effect detected after 3-day treatment. At saturating concentration of butyrate (1 mM) the increase was three- to fourfold of the untreated control. Scatchard analysis revealed that the butyrate effect was due to an increase in the density of the opioid receptor binding sites. Butyrate also induced a smaller (about twofold) increase in the density of muscarinic cholinergic receptor binding assessed by using [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate, whereas alpha 2-adrenergic receptor binding assessed by using [3H]clonidine was not significantly affected. The butyrate-induced opioid receptor binding could be totally abolished by the presence of cycloheximide, suggesting that the butyrate effect involves synthesis of the receptor protein. Butyrate treatment did not affect basal and prostaglandin E1-stimulated cyclic AMP levels but caused a three- to fourfold decrease in the IC50 of D-Ala2,D-Leu5 enkephalin for attenuating these cyclic AMP levels and approximately 25% increase in the maximal extent of attenuation. In contrast to the butyrate effect, long-term treatment of NCB-20 cells with 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP induced an 80% decrease in the opioid and alpha 2-adrenergic receptor bindings and a 57% loss of muscarinic cholinergic receptor binding. This down-regulation of muscarinic cholinergic receptor binding sites was associated with a 35% decrease of carbachol-induced phosphoinositide breakdown, whereas the receptor up-regulation induced by butyrate was found to increase the carbachol response by about threefold. The differential regulation by butyrate and dibutyryl cyclic AMP suggests that the butyrate effect is mediated by a mechanism independent of intracellular cyclic AMP. The induction by butyrate of opioid-receptors and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in NCB-20 cells may provide a useful system for studying the regulation of gene expression of these receptor proteins.

Abstract
The adenylyl cyclase system of preadipocytes derived from the stromal vascular fraction of perirenal rat fat pads was characterized. Unlike mature adipocytes, preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase was only weakly stimulated by catecholamines and adrenocorticotrophic hormone, but was stimulated by guanine nucleotides. Parathyroid hormone and 2-chloroadenosine also stimulated preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase. The adenylyl cyclase system of preadipocytes resembled that of undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells. However, agents which induced the differentiation of the 3T3-L1 cell adenylyl cyclase system did not have a similar effect on preadipocytes. A medium (CDM6) which induced some differentiation of preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase was developed. The observations that the adenylyl cyclase system of preadipocytes and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells are similar, that preadipocyte adenylyl cyclase can be induced to develop along lines similar to early differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells, and that the adenylyl cyclase system of fully-differentiated 3T3-L1 cells has characteristics intermediate between preadipocytes and adipocytes, suggest that the differentiation of preadipocyte and 3T3-L1 adenyly cyclase in vitro mimics adipose adenylyl cyclase development in vivo. The increased catecholamine and ACTH stimulation, and reduced GTP and adenosine sensitivities of adipocytes compared to preadipocytes suggest that a number of genes affecting adenylyl cyclase-associated regulatory and receptor proteins are coordinately repressed and derepressed during development.

Abstract
Rat aortic smooth muscle cells in culture (A-10; ATCC CRL 1476) exhibited low levels of beta-adrenergic receptors as determined by specific binding of [125I]cyanopindolol ([125I]CYP) and marginal stimulation of adenylate cyclase in plasma membranes by (-)isoproterenol. When these cells were exposed to 5 mM sodium butyrate, the number of beta-adrenergic receptors and the beta-agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity increased markedly. However, basal, GTP, Gpp(NH)p, and fluoride-stimulated activities did not change. The induction of beta-adrenergic receptors and beta-agonist stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was time- and dose-dependent, and was relatively specific for sodium butyrate. Propionate and valerate were less effective than butyrate, while isobutyrate, succinate, and malonate were ineffective. The induction involved RNA and protein synthesis because induction was prevented by treatment with cycloheximide, puromycin, and actinomycin D. Butyrate did not cause a general increase in cell surface receptors, because the number of vasopressin receptors did not change. The sustained presence of butyrate appeared to be necessary for the maintenance of the induced beta-receptors. When butyrate was removed, receptor number and beta-agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity were decreased by 90% over 24 hr. We conclude that the poor response of rat aortic smooth muscle cell plasma membranes to beta-adrenergic agonists is due to the presence of a low number of beta-adrenergic receptors. Butyrate markedly increased the number of beta-receptors which resulted in a proportional increase in beta-agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The increase in receptor number was dependent on RNA and protein synthesis. Butyrate treatment did not affect the activity of the cyclase unit and the efficiency of coupling between the receptors and the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ns.

Abstract
An iodinated compound, [125I]-8-iodo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-3-benzazepin -7-ol, has been recently reported [Sidhu, A., & Kebabian, J.W. (1985) Eur. J. Pharmacol. 113, 437-440] to be a specific ligand for the D-1 dopamine receptor. Due to its high affinity and specific activity, this ligand was chosen for the biochemical characterization of the D-1 receptor. Alkylation of particulate fractions of rat caudate nucleus by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) caused an inactivation of the D-1 receptor, as measured by diminished binding of the radioligand to the receptor. The inactivation of the receptor sites by NEM was rapid and irreversible, resulting in a 70% net loss of binding sites. On the basis of Scatchard analysis of binding to NEM-treated tissue, the loss in binding sites was due to a net decrease in the receptor number with a 2-fold decrease in the affinity of the receptor for the radioligand. Receptor occupancy by either a D-1 specific agonist or antagonist protected the ligand binding sites from NEM-mediated inactivation. NEM treatment of the receptor in the absence or presence of protective compound abolished the agonist high-affinity state of the receptor as well as membrane adenylate cyclase activity. The above-treated striatal membranes were fused with HeLa membranes and assayed for dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. When the sources of D-1 receptors were from agonist-protected membranes, the receptors retained their ability to functionally couple to the HeLa adenylate cyclase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Cultured rat glioma C6 cells exfoliate membrane vesicles which have been termed 'exosomes' into the culture medium. The exosomes contained both stimulatory and inhibitory GTP-binding components of adenylate cyclase (the stimulatory, Gs, and the inhibitory, Gi, regulatory components) and beta-adrenergic receptors but were devoid of adenylate cyclase activity. It was therefore apparent that the catalytic component of adenylate cyclase was either not exfoliated or was inactivated during the exfoliation process. The presence of Gs or Gi in the exosomes was detected by ADP ribosylation using [alpha-32P]NAD in the presence of cholera or pertussis toxins, respectively. The exosomal concentration of each of the two components was estimated to be about one fifth of that of the cell membrane when expressed on a per mg protein basis. Exosomal Gs was almost as active as the membrane-derived Gs in its ability to reconstitute NaF- and guanine nucleotide-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in membranes of S49 cyc- cells, which lack a functional Gs. The ability of exosomal Gs to reconstitute isoproterenol-stimulated activity, however, was much lower than that of membrane Gs. The density of beta-adrenergic receptors in the exosomes was much less than that found in the membranes. Although the exosomal receptors bound the antagonist iodocyanopindolol with the same affinity as receptors from the cell membrane, the affinity for the agonist isoproterenol was 13- to 18-fold lower in the exosomes. In addition, this affinity was not modulated by GTP in the exosomes. Thus, exfoliated beta-adrenergic receptors seem to be impaired in their ability to couple to and activate Gs. This was directly tested by coupling the receptors to a foreign adenylate cyclase using membrane fusion. The fusates were then assayed for agonist-stimulated activity. While significant stimulation of the acceptor adenylate cyclase was obtained using C6 membrane receptors, the exosomal receptors were completely inactive. Thus during exfoliation, there appear to be changes in the components of the beta-adrenergic-sensitive adenylate cyclase that results in a nonfunctional system in the exosomes.

Abstract
Exposure of HeLa cells to 5 mM sodium butyrate, but not 0.6 mM, resulted in a more efficient coupling between their beta-adrenergic receptors and the guanine nucleotide binding stimulatory (Ns) component of adenylate cyclase. Both concentrations of the fatty acid, however, caused an increase in receptor number. beta receptors from control and butyrate-treated cells had the same affinity for isoproterenol. Modulation of this affinity by GTP was greatly enhanced, however, in cells treated with 5 mM butyrate compared to untreated and 0.6 mM butyrate treated cells. The concentration of isoproterenol required to half-maximally stimulate adenylate cyclase (Kact) was reduced in cells treated with 5 mM butyrate. In addition, the Kact for GTP in the presence, but not the absence, of isoproterenol was reduced. The effect of butyrate on the coupling between beta receptors and Ns was analyzed in detail by monitoring the activation of Ns by guanine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) in a two-step assay. In the absence of isoproterenol, Ns from control and 5 mM butyrate treated cells was activated to the same extent with the same time course and Kact for GTP gamma S. In the presence of isoproterenol, Ns from 5 mM butyrate treated cells was activated more rapidly and extensively than Ns from control cells. The Kact for both GTP gamma S and isoproterenol also was reduced. The rate of agonist-mediated activation of Ns was strongly dependent on temperature, which accentuated the differences between 5 mM butyrate treated and control cells. At 4 degrees C, the difference in rate was 8.8-fold.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The binding of alkylendiamide dimers of the three N-terminal residues of [D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin (DADL) to rat brain and Ng108-15 neuroblastoma-glioma cell membranes was compared with that of DADL, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-NMe-Phe-Gly-ol (DAGO) and morphiceptin. Tritiated DADL and DAGO were used as labeled ligands for delta- and mu-receptors, respectively. Dimerization of the tripeptides resulted in dramatic increases in both mu and delta binding. The binding to mu-receptors showed two peaks at an alkyl chain length of n = 2 and approximately n = 16. In contrast, delta binding (NG108-15 cells) increased steadily with increasing chain length. The dimers with n less than 18 were mu-preferential, and the one with n = 2 showed the most dramatic increase in mu selectivity with a 400 fold higher affinity to mu- than to delta-receptors. For long-chain alkyl spacers the compounds became delta selective.
