Abstract
The relationships between drug pharmacodynamics and subsequent changes in cellular signaling processes are complex. Many in vitro cell signaling studies often use drug concentrations above physiologically safe drug levels achievable in a patient's plasma. Drug companies develop agents to inhibit or modify the activities of specific target enzymes, often without a full consideration that their compounds have additional unknown targets. These two negative sequelae, when published together, become impediments against successful developmental therapeutics and translation because this data distorts our understanding of signaling mechanisms and reduces the probability of successfully translating drug-based concepts from the bench to the bedside. This article will discuss cellular signaling in isolation and as it relates to extant single and combined therapeutic drug interventions. This will lead to a hypothetical series standardized sequential approaches describing a rigorous concept to drug development and clinical translation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen molecules have been typically viewed as the toxic by-products of metabolism. However, accumulating evidence has revealed that reactive species, including hydrogen peroxide, serve as signaling molecules that are involved in the regulation of cellular function. The chronic and/or increased production of these reactive molecules or a reduced capacity for their elimination, termed oxidative stress, can lead to abnormal changes in intracellular signaling and result in chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. Inflammation and oxidative stress have been linked to insulin resistance in vivo. Recent studies have found that this association is not restricted to insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, but is also evident in obese, nondiabetic individuals, and in those patients with the metabolic syndrome. An increased concentration of reactive molecules triggers the activation of serine/threonine kinase cascades such as c-Jun N-terminal kinase, nuclear factor-kappaB, and others that in turn phosphorylate multiple targets, including the insulin receptor and the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins. Increased serine phosphorylation of IRS reduces its ability to undergo tyrosine phosphorylation and may accelerate the degradation of IRS-1, offering an attractive explanation for the molecular basis of oxidative stress-induced insulin resistance. Consistent with this idea, studies with antioxidants such as vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, and N-acetylcysteine indicate a beneficial impact on insulin sensitivity, and offer the possibility for new treatment approaches for insulin resistance.

Abstract
Maternal infection of Trypanosoma cruzi is associated with premature births, abortions and placentitis. A decrease in EGF levels has been suggested to occur in animals infected by T. cruzi, but there is no research about the levels of EGF in human patients with Chagas' disease. We evaluated serum EGF levels in pregnant women with and without the disease, and with immunological methods detected EGF receptors and EGF in both groups of placentae and in cultures of normal placental villi with and without parasites. PLAP in placentae from those women was also immunologically detected, since EGF can induce the release of PLAP from the trophoblast surface and PLAP is suggested to be a receptor allowing parasite invasion of the placenta. Plasma from women with Chagas' disease contained lower level of EGF when compared to plasma of healthy women. Placentae from women with Chagas' disease showed lower PLAP expression but same level of detectable EGF receptors and EGF when compared with placentae from women without the disease. Culture with parasites did not reduce EGFr level. Results suggest a lower availability of EGF in women with Chagas' disease, which could explain several malfunctions of the placenta associated with maternal Chagas' disease.

Abstract
Adipocytic-cytosolic non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase (CytPTK) when activated can substitute for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (InsRTK), in manifesting several insulin effects in insulin-receptor independent fashion. Our aims here were to utilize PolyGlu4Tyr, a good experimental exogenous substrate for protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) in general, for studying qualitative and quantitative parameters of CytPTKs extracted from different tissue cytosols. At the same time, we would search for a unique specific marker specifically characterizing CytPTKs. High speed supernatants of spleen, thymus, smooth muscle, lung and kidney were found to be rich in CytPTK activities. Their specific activities being 6- to 13-fold that of liver or adipose cytosols. Brain, testis and adrenal cytosols were an intermediate source of CytPTK activity, whereas CytPTK activity of heart and skeletal muscle was low. It was also evaluated that the capacity of the cytosol to phosphorylate PolyGlu4Tyr is 15-50% that of the non-stimulated Triton X-100 extractable plasma membrane PTKs. Fractionation of the cytosols on superose 12 column revealed several CytPTKs within the same tissue, their peaks ranging between 30 and 450 kDa. Immunoblotting analysis showed Fyn and Lyn were present in most tissue cytosols. Upon immunoprecipitation, however, with anti-Fyn or anti-Lyn, negligible amounts (< 2%) of the total cellular CytPTK were precipitated. Thus, these general markers of CytPTKs comprise only a minor proportion of the total intracellular PolyGlu4Tyr phosphorylating capacity. To see whether a specific marker for CytPTK could be detected, we also examined the requirement of CytPTKs for divalent ions, their preferred phosphate donor and their sensitivity to inhibition by known PTK inhibitors. We found that the order of reactivity with divalent cations was Co2+ > Mn2+ > Mg2+, while Zn2+ and Ca2+ did not support CytPTK activity. The best phosphate donor was ATP (ED50 = 5 microM), but other nucleoside 3-phosphates could substitute for ATP at high concentrations. With respect to these parameters, no basic difference exists between cytosolic and plasma-membrane PTKs. The PTK inhibitors, genestein and quercetin, inhibited both cytosolic and membranal PTKs at micromolar concentrations. In contrast, staurosporine was a potent inhibitor of CytPTKs (IC50 5-20 nM) and a poor inhibitor of membranal PTKs (IC50 10-40 microM). One of the conclusions we can draw from this study is that tissue cytosols contain PolyGlu4Tyr phosphorylating capacity in quantities greater than previously assumed and that the low level of phosphotyrosine found in cells is not the result of limited intracellular levels of CytPTKs.

Abstract
We have tested the hypothesis that activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase is due to autophosphorylation of tyrosines 1146, 1150 and 1151 within a putative autoinhibitory domain. A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 1134-1162, with tyrosines substituted by alanine or phenylalanine, of the insulin receptor beta subunit was tested for its inhibitory potency and specificity towards the tyrosine kinase activity. This synthetic peptide gave inhibition of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of the exogenous substrate poly(Glu, Tyr) with an approximate IC50 of 100 microM. Inhibition appeared to be independent of the concentrations of insulin or the substrate poly(Glu, Tyr) but was decreased by increasing concentrations of ATP. This same peptide also inhibited the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase but not a serine/threonine protein kinase. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that this autophosphorylation domain contains an autoinhibitory sequence.

Abstract
To study the role of membrane lipids in signal transduction by the insulin receptor, we have studied the effect of phospholipase C (Clostridium perfringens) and a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase (Staphylococcus aureus) on insulin binding, a function of the alpha-subunit, and tyrosine kinase activity, a function of the beta-subunit in IM-9 lymphocytes and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with the human insulin receptor. Treatment of the cells with phospholipase C at concentrations up to 3.4 U/ml did not affect specific insulin binding, but reduced insulin-stimulated receptor phosphorylation by 50%. This effect of phospholipase C was observed within 10 min of treatment and occurred with no change in the basal level of phosphorylation. Pre-treatment of cells with insulin for 5 min prior to enzyme addition prevented any change in kinase activity. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of pp 185, the presumed endogenous substrate for the insulin receptor kinase, was also reduced following phospholipase C treatment, with an almost complete loss of insulin stimulation after exposure of cells to enzyme at concentrations as low as 0.6 U/ml. In contrast to these effects of phospholipase C on intact cells, receptor autophosphorylation was not affected in insulin receptors purified on wheat germ agglutinin-agarose from phospholipase C treated cells. Likewise, the phospholipase C effect was reduced by the addition of phosphatidylcholine, but not by the addition of the protease inhibitors, aprotinin and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, to the incubation indicating its dependence on phospholipid hydrolysis. Treatment of cells with the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C did not affect any of the parameters studied.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A novel technique was designed to conveniently determine substrate phosphorylation by tyrosine kinase. The technique is based on quantitation of phosphotyrosine content of the phosphoproteins, generated during the enzyme reaction, by radioimmunoassay. Here, we utilized high-titer monoclonal antibodies to phosphotyrosine, and radioiodinated bovine serum albumin-phosphotyrosine conjugate. The radiolabeled antigen was displaced from the complex formed in the assay by unlabeled phosphotyrosine, phosphotyrosine derivatives or phosphotyrosine-containing protein substrates. Half-maximal displacement was achieved at 0.4 +/- 0.05 microM by free phosphotyrosine, and at 40 +/- 3 and 45 +/- 4 nM by acetyl-phosphotyrosine and acetyl-phosphotyrosyl-glycine ethyl ester, respectively. Neither phosphoserine, phosphothreonine nor ATP cross-reacted with the phosphotyrosine antibodies. None of the components of the enzyme reaction interfered in the RIA. The method allows quantitation of the incorporated phosphate into tyrosyl residues without interference of serine/threonine phosphorylation. This technique avoids the use of short-lived [gamma-32P]ATP and omits the separation of the phosphorylated substrate from excess nucleotide.

Abstract
Five proteins having molecular masses of 90, 67, 37, 36, and 32 kDa (p90, p67, p37, p36, and p32, respectively) were identified in the particulate fractions of pig brain cortex and pig spinal cord prepared in the presence of 0.2 mM Ca2+ and further purified using a protocol previously described for the purification of calpactins. Proteins p90, p37, and p36 are related to annexins I and II. Annexin II, represented by p90, is found as an heterotetramer, composed of two heavy chains of 36 kDa and two light chains of 11 kDa, and as a monomer of 36 kDa. Protein p37, which differs immunologically from p36, is a monomer and could be related to annexin I. All three proteins are Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid- and F-actin-binding proteins; they are phosphorylated on a serine and on a tyrosine residue by protein kinases associated with synaptic plasma membranes. Purified p36 monomer and p36 heterotetramer proteins bind to actin at millimolar Ca2+ concentrations. The stoichiometry of p36 binding to F-actin at saturation is 1:2, corresponding to one tetramer or monomer of calpactin for two actin monomers (KD, 3 x 10(-6) M). Synaptic plasma membranes supplemented with the monomeric or tetrameric forms of p36 phosphorylate the proteins on a serine residue. The monomer is phosphorylated on a serine residue by a Ca(2+)-independent protein kinase, whereas the heterotetramer is phosphorylated on a serine residue and a tyrosine residue by Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinases. Antibodies to brain p37 and p36 together with antibodies to lymphocytes lipocortins 1 and 2 were used to follow the distribution of these proteins in nervous tissues. Polypeptides of 37, 34, and 36 kDa cross-react with these antibodies. Anti-p37 and antilipocortin 1 cross-react on the same 37- and 34-kDa polypeptides; anti-p36 and antilipocortin 2 cross-react only on the 36-kDa polypeptides.

Abstract
Since the identification of the insulin receptor by insulin-binding activity almost two decades ago, our understanding of the structure and function of the insulin receptor has progressed tremendously. The importance of the intrinsic tyrosine protein kinase activity of the insulin receptor is implied by the fact that the insulin receptor belongs to a family of receptor tyrosine kinases which play a role in growth control, by experiments demonstrating the intimate association of normal kinase activity and insulin action, and by evidence that the intrinsic kinase activity can be regulated under certain conditions. There are still some major gaps in our knowledge concerning the structure/function of the insulin receptor such as how activation of the intrinsic kinase activity of the receptor leads to altered cellular physiology. The kinase may phosphorylate endogenous substrates or autophosphorylation may simply alter beta subunit conformation so it can then interact with an effector system (i.e. a serine kinase) directly, or indirectly through a G-protein. The truth may lie somewhere between these two pathways.

Abstract
Human placentae form a major part of the interface between maternal and embryonic tissues. Placentae are morphologically complex organs that are lined with a trophoblastic tissue that provides anatomical constraints over which flows maternal blood. Maternal antibodies and immune cells thus contact the lining syncytiotrophoblast, and this paper considers some of the antigens that maternal immune components might encounter. The antigens have been grouped into those of unknown function, major histocompatibility antigens, and antigens of suspected function. The paper also details certain antigens of cytotrophoblasts. We discuss consequences of maternal immune responses to extraembryonic antigens and present evidence for amplification of these responses through the activation of hemostasis and fibrinolysis within the placenta and placental bed.

Abstract
Insulin binding to human placenta membranes treated at pH 7.6 or 8.5 in the presence or absence of 2.0 mM DTT for 5 min, followed by the simultaneous removal of the DTT and pH adjustment to pH 7.6, displayed curvilinear (heterogeneous) insulin binding plots when analyzed by the method of Scatchard. However, Triton X-100 solubilization followed by Bio-Gel A-1.5m gel filtration chromatography of the placenta membranes previously treated with DTT at pH 8.5 generated a nearly straight line (homogeneous) Scatchard plot. 125I-insulin affinity crosslinking studies coupled with Bio-Gel A-1.5m gel filtration chromatography demonstrated that the alkaline pH and DTT treatment of placenta membranes followed by detergent solubilization generated an alpha beta heterodimeric insulin receptor complex from the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric disulfide-linked state. The ability of alkaline pH and DTT to produce a functional alpha beta heterodimeric insulin receptor complex was found to be time dependent with maximal formation and preservation of tracer insulin binding occurring at 5 min. These data demonstrate that (i) a combination of alkaline pH and DTT treatment of placenta membranes can result in the formation of a functional alpha beta heterodimeric insulin receptor complex. (ii) the alpha beta heterodimeric complex displays homogeneous insulin binding. (iii) the insulin receptor membrane environment maintains the alpha 2 beta 2 association state, which displays heterogeneous insulin binding, despite reduction of the critical domains that are responsible for the covalent interaction between the alpha beta heterodimers.

Abstract
Regulation of phosphate transport by insulin was investigated in brush border membranes from human placenta at term. At 22 degrees C, a 45 min incubation of the total tissue with 10(-6) M insulin significantly decreased both the initial rate and the peak of sodium-dependent phosphate uptake by the corresponding brush border membranes. In contrast, Na+ transport was not influenced by the hormone. Increasing the insulin concentration from 0 to 10(-5) M resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of phosphate uptake with half-maximal effect at 1.1 x 10(-9) M. The hormone decreased PO4 transport by decreasing the affinity of the carrier for the substrate (Km = 0.180 +/- 0.010 mM and 0.215 +/- 0.015 mM in absence and presence of 10(-6) M insulin respectively, P less than 0.05). The inhibitory effect of insulin required the presence of Mn2+ whereas neither Mn2+ nor insulin alone had any influence on PO4 uptake. It is therefore assumed that receptor phosphorylation, which needs the presence of Mn2+, is an intermediate step of insulin action on PO4 uptake by the subsequently isolated brush border membranes. In contrast, insulin had no effect on PO4 uptake when the membranes were directly incubated with the hormone prior to the transport measurement, suggesting that an intracellular messenger is needed for the inhibitory effect. This messenger is not cAMP since insulin at 10(-6) M concentration has no effect on cAMP content of the total placental tissue.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Radiolabeled insulin was affinity cross-linked to purified insulin receptor with six separate bifunctional N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of different lengths. Results were qualitatively identical for each cross-linker in that insulin was predominantly cross-linked through its B chain to the receptor's alpha subunit. The maximum efficiencies of cross-linking were 10-15% for the most effective reagents, and this value was dependent upon the concentration and length of the cross-linker. In an effort to locate the cross-linking site, monoiodoinsulin was cross-linked to affinity-purified insulin receptor with disuccinimidyl suberate. Limited proteolysis of the hormone/receptor adduct with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, chymotrypsin, or thermolysin in an SDS-containing buffer rapidly generated a 55-kDa, insulin-labeled fragment as shown by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We reported earlier that the 55-kDa chymotryptic fragment contained multiple internal disulfide bonds as evidenced by its shifting mobility on an SDS gel after dithiothreitol treatment [Boni-Schnetzler et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8395-8401]. Here we show that the 55-kDa fragment is also formed by proteolysis of the receptor in the absence of prior insulin cross-linking. This fragment was prepared in amounts sufficient for sequence analysis and was purified by passage successively over gel permeation and reverse-phase HPLC columns. The sequence of the fragment's amino terminus corresponds to that of the amino terminus of the receptor's alpha subunit. This fragment also reacts with an antibody raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 242-253 of the receptor's alpha subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The homobifunctional cross-linking reagent disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) was used to probe the interface region between the two alpha subunits of the alpha 2 beta 2 human insulin receptor. The two alpha subunits formed a covalent dimer when affinity-purified receptor or membrane-bound receptor was reacted with DSS. The alpha 2 species was detected on protein blots from SDS gels using an anti-alpha-subunit antibody or 125I-concanavalin A. Alternatively, iodinated receptor was reacted with DSS and the alpha 2 species measured directly in an SDS gel. As shown by all three assay systems, more alpha 2 was formed when insulin was bound to receptor than when insulin was absent. These data indicate that the conformational change which occurs in the alpha subunit in response to insulin binding results in a change in the alpha-alpha interaction within the receptor complex. The results are consistent with a kinase activation mechanism involving communication between the two alpha beta receptor halves.

Abstract
Insulin action in skeletal muscle is markedly enhanced for several hours after an acute bout of exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine the possible involvement of the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor in mediating these effects. Red and white muscles were removed from rats either at rest or following a treadmill run (45 min at 18 m/min), and insulin receptors were isolated in partially purified form. Basal and insulin-stimulated receptor kinase activity was higher in red than in white muscle, in agreement with previous studies (J. Biol. Chem. 261: 14939-14944, 1986). There was no effect of exercise on insulin binding, basal and insulin-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation, or basal and insulin-stimulated exogenous kinase activity, in either red or white muscle. Similar data were obtained when phosphatase inhibitors were used during receptor isolation. The structure of insulin receptors isolated from the muscle of exercised and control rats was similar as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of affinity cross-linked insulin receptors. We conclude that enhanced insulin action in muscle during the postexercise state is not related to increased kinase activity of the insulin receptor.

Abstract
Using the insulin-glucose clamp technique, we have previously shown that an increased sensitivity to insulin in vivo is a characteristic of the liver in rats with non-insulin-dependent diabetes induced by neonatal streptozotocin administration. We have thus studied the properties of liver insulin receptor in that model. 125I-porcine insulin binding was found normal both in isolated plasma membranes and in solubilized, wheat germ agglutinin purified receptors prepared from livers of rats with non-insulin-dependent diabetes, when compared to controls. Basal and insulin-stimulated insulin receptor kinase activities were also found normal for both the autophosphorylation of the beta subunit of the insulin receptor and the phosphorylation of the artificial substrate poly (Glu-Tyr) 4:1. Thus, in that model of chronic insulin deficiency and mild hyperglycemia: 1) liver insulin receptors are not up-regulated; 2) tyrosine kinase activity remains unaffected. This last observation supports the hypothesis that the increased insulin effect in the liver of rats with non-insulin-dependent diabetes is probably distal to the insulin receptor kinase.

Abstract
Treatment of human placenta membranes at pH 8.5 in the presence of 2.0 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) for 5 min, followed by the simultaneous removal of the DTT and pH adjustment to pH 7.6, resulted in the formation of a functional alpha beta heterodimeric insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor complex from the native alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric disulfide-linked state. The membrane-bound alpha beta heterodimeric complex displayed similar curvilinear 125I-IGF-1 equilibrium binding compared to the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric complex. Triton X-100 solubilization of the alkaline pH and DTT-pretreated placenta membranes, followed by Bio-Gel A-1.5m gel filtration chromatography, was found to effectively separate the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric and alpha beta heterodimeric IGF-1 receptor species, 125I-IGF-1 binding to both the isolated alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric and alpha beta heterodimeric complexes demonstrated a marked straightening of the Scatchard plots, compared to the placenta membrane-bound IGF-1 receptors, with a 2-fold increase in the high-affinity binding component. Similar to the membrane-bound IGF-1 receptor species, the 125I-IGF-1 binding properties between the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric and alpha beta heterodimeric complexes were not significantly different. IGF-1 stimulation of IGF-1 receptor autophosphorylation indicated that the ligand-dependent activation of alpha beta heterodimeric protein kinase activity occurred concomitant with the reassociation into a covalent alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric state.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have studied the structure and function of the partially purified insulin receptors from liver and skeletal muscle in a rat model of severe chronic uremia. 125I-insulin binding was higher in the liver from uremic rats when compared with ad libitum- and pair-fed controls. Furthermore, the ability of insulin to stimulate the autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit and insulin receptor kinase activity using Glu80, Tyr20 as exogenous phosphoacceptor was increased in the liver of the uremic animals. The structural characteristic of the receptors, as determined by electrophoretic mobilities of affinity labeled alpha-subunit and the phosphorylated beta-subunit, were normal in uremia. 125I-insulin binding and insulin receptor kinase activity were similar in the skeletal muscle from uremic and pair- and ad libitum-fed animals. Thus our data are supportive of the hypothesis that in liver and muscle of chronic uremic rats, insulin resistance is due to a defect(s) distal to the insulin receptor kinase.

Abstract
It has been established that insulin treatment of cells, isolated plasma membranes, or whole animals leads to the generation of low molecular weight mediators which serve as intermediates in the signalling pathway. At least two distinct classes of mediator have been described, based on differences in apparent molecular weight, isoelectric point and biological activity (Cheng, K., and Larner, J. (1985) Ann. Rev. Physiol. 45, 407-424). Recently, Saltiel's (Saltiel, A.R., and Cuatrecasas, P. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 5793-5797) and Mato's (Mato, J.M., Kelly, K.L., Abler, A., and Jarett, L. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 2131-2137) laboratories have described an insulin "modulator" which was apparently derived from glycosylphosphoinositol linker, similar to those known to anchor proteins to the external surface of the cell membrane (Low, M.G. (1987) Bioch. J. 244, 1-13). In this paper, we report that highly purified preparations of the insulin mediator which stimulates pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase contain mannose, galactosamine, and D-chiroinositol. These determinations are based upon analyses using paper chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Nitrous acid deamination of the mediator resulted in release of inositol phosphate, indicating that the galactosamine and D-chiroinositol are linked. Although the presence of chiroinositol in modulator from H35 hepatoma cells has been recently reported (Mato, J.M., Kelly, K.L., Abler, A., Jarett, L., Corkey, B.E., Cashel, J.A., and Zopf, D. (1987) Bioch. Biophys. Res. Comm. 146, 764-770), the optical identity of the inositol remained unknown until the present report. Likewise, the presence of galactosamine rather than glucosamine in insulin mediator is a novel finding. These findings, coupled with those of Saltiel and Mato's groups, provide clear evidence for the existence of multiple forms of insulin mediators. Additionally, the results presented here afford further confirmation for the formation of insulin mediators from glycosyl-phosphoinositol linkers.

Abstract
The present work discloses a procedure for preparation of human liver plasma membranes containing catalytically competent insulin receptor kinase. In addition to insulin promoted phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of insulin receptor kinase, insulin promoted phosphorylation of pp 120 and two other new proteins was demonstrated. The new proteins with molecular weights of 50,000 and 120,000 do not bind to WGA, pp 120 antibody or insulin receptor antibody, but bind to the antiphosphotyrosyl antibody. The identity and physiological significance of these putative substrates for insulin receptor kinase remains to be established.

Abstract
Binding of 125I-insulin to rat placental membranes was time and protein concentration dependent, reversible, and specific. Unlabeled porcine insulin competed for 125I-insulin binding with an IC50 of 65 nM, while IGF-I was much less potent with an IC50 of 2.12 mM. Specific binding of 125I-insulin decreased during the second half of gestation from Days 11 to 19. Scatchard analysis of the binding data for membranes prepared from Gestation Days 11 and 19 yielded typical curvilinear plots which showed a marked decrease in the number of binding sites in late gestation placenta. Beginning on Day 14, insulin binding was characterized with isolated labyrinth and basal zone portions of the hemochorial placenta. There was no evidence for differences in Kd values or the number of binding sites in these two functionally distinct portions of the rat placenta. Crosslinking of 125I-insulin followed by SDS-PAGE showed a single protein with a molecular weight of 130,000 from placental tissues on Gestation Days 11 and 19 and confirmed a gestational decrease in the number of insulin receptors. In solubilized, lectin-purified preparations from placenta and liver membranes, insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of a Mr 95,000 protein. 32P-incorporation into this 95,000 protein was stimulated fivefold by insulin in Day 11 placenta receptor, whereas no detectable 32P-incorporation was found in Day 19 placenta. Thus, while the alpha- and beta-subunits of insulin receptors in mid and late gestation placenta have molecular weights which are similar to receptors in maternal liver, data indicate the presence of a functional difference in insulin-stimulated kinase activities.
