Abstract
Growth factors modulate integrin-mediated cell adhesion and motility, and their receptors are thought to share proteins that mediate intracellular signaling with integrin receptors. The crosstalk between these receptors is thought to play a relevant role in transformation and tumor progression. To highlight possible interactions between growth factors and cell adhesion receptors we investigated whether integrins associate with tyrosine kinase receptors in tumor cells. By affinity chromatography and Western blot analyses of purified immune complexes, we studied the association of laminin receptors (alpha 6 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4) with ErbB-2 tyrosine kinase in human carcinoma cell lines. We demonstrated that the alpha 6 beta 4 and alpha 6 beta 1 integrins coprecipitated with ErbB-2 in lysates from carcinoma or NIH3T3 cells overexpressing ErbB-2. Integrin-mediated activation of ErbB-2 receptors suggested that this association is functionally meaningful. Indeed, carcinoma cells treated with a monoclonal antibody to the alpha 6 integrin subunit showed a ligand-dependent increase of ErbB-2-phosphorylated molecules coprecipitated with integrins and an increased DNA synthesis. The interaction between growth factor receptors and integrins was also studied in NIH3T3 cells overexpressing alpha 6 beta 4 receptors and ErbB-2 protein. We report that cells overexpressing both receptors, but not those overexpressing a crippled ErbB-2, showed enhanced proliferation rates and invasiveness, further suggesting that alpha 6 beta 4 integrin and ErbB-2 receptor interaction might contribute to generate a more malignant phenotype in carcinoma cells.

Abstract
The process of liposome solubilization and reconstitution of two transport proteins have been studied using Chaps and Chapso (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2- hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate). The solubilization of unilamellar liposomes was followed by absorption experiments and the process was shown to fit well to the three-stage model previously proposed for other detergents. The solubilization parameters have been determined and the detergent to phospholipid ratios at which the lamellar-to-micellar transition initiates and ends were estimated to be 0.21 mol/mol and 0.74 mol/mol, for Chapso and 0.4 mol/mol and 1.04 mol/mol for Chaps, respectively. The best conditions for the incorporation of two membrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin and the H(+)-ATP synthase from chloroplasts, were analyzed at each step of the solubilization process. After detergent removal, the activities of the resulting proteoliposomes were measured indicating that the most efficient reconstitutions were obtained by addition of the proteins to completely solubilized lipid-detergent micelles. The use of Chapso and Chaps for membrane protein reconstitution studies provides a reproducible method of achieving active proteoliposomes, homogeneous in size, with a low permeability and thus, well suited for transport measurements.

Abstract
We have synthesized eight analogues of the linear vasopressin antagonist DTyr(Et)2-Phe3-Gln4-Asn5-Arg6-Pro7-Arg8-Tyr(NH2)9 substituted with L-, or D-, pyroglutamate at position-1, Asn or Val at position-4 and Arg or Met at position 6. All of these peptides bound to the V1a vasopressin receptor with affinities ranging 33.6-5, 470 nM. Of this series, only two peptides, [LpGlu1Val4Arg6Tyr(NH2)9]AVP Kd = 48.4 nM and [DpGlu1Val4Arg6Tyr(NH2)9]AVP Kd = 691 nM, bound to the V2 vasopressin receptor. All of the neurohypophysial hormone receptors studied (V1a VPR, V2 VPR and OTR) were found to be stereoselective with respect to the N-terminal pGlu residue. The effect on binding characteristics of L-pGlu1 and D-pGlu1 analogues was dependent on both the sequence of the peptide and on the receptor subtype in question. From these data we found that peptide 5, which has the structure DpGlu-DTyr(Et)-Phe-Val-Asn-Arg-Pro-ARg-Tyr(NH2), exhibited the highest V1a/OTR selectivity reported to date (V1aVPR Kd = 82 nM; OTR no binding at 10 microM). As such, peptide 5 will provide useful leads to the development of ligands with enhanced V1a/OTR selectivity. The binding affinity and hydrophobicity of pyroglutamate-substituted peptides was compared with previously characterized V1a receptor antagonists which contained a range of position-1 substitutions. The hydrophobicity of both cyclic and linear antagonists was markedly increased relative to the agonists AVP and [Phe2Orn8]VT but increased hydrophobicity alone did not exclusively lead to high affinity antagonists. Data presented support the contention that in addition to a general increase in hydrophobicity/lipophilicity, position-1 influences the pharmacophore of vasopressin antagonists by providing molecular determinants for ligand/receptor interaction.

Abstract
The requirements for regaining high-affinity binding of the myometrial oxytocin receptor after detergent solubilization were investigated by reconstitution experiments. Large unilamellar liposomes were prepared by reverse-phase evaporation from different mixtures of phospholipids, cholesterol and cholesteryl hemisuccinate. In the presence of the oxytocin receptor solubilized from myometrial membranes from pregnant guinea pig uterus, liposomes were treated with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate (Chapso) throughout the range of detergent concentrations that cause the transformation of lamellar structures to mixed micelles. Detergent removal was achieved using bio-beads SM-2 as adsorbent. The presence of cholesterol was a prerequisite for regaining high-affinity binding of [3H]oxytocin and 125I-oxytocin antagonist to reconstituted proteoliposomes. Binding of [3H]oxytocin but not of the antagonist was dependent on the presence of Mn2+ ions. Reconstitution after lectin chromatography and photoaffinity labeling of reconstituted vesicles resulted in the exclusive labeling of the oxytocin receptor with a molecular mass of 68-80 kDa.

Abstract
The development of nonpeptide orally active AVP analogues has provided a new tool with which to assess the physiological and pathophysiological role of vasopressin (AVP). We have previously characterised the nonpeptide vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist OPC-21268, and now report the in vitro characterisation of the nonpeptide V2 receptor antagonist OPC-31260 in the rat. OPC-31260 caused a concentration-dependent displacement of the selective AVP V2 receptor antagonist radioligand, [3H]desGly-NH2(9)[d(CH2)5, D-Ile2,Ile4]AVP from V2 receptors in rat kidney medulla membranes. The concentration of OPC-31260 that displaced 50% of specific AVP binding (IC50) was 20 +/- 2 nmol/l for renal V2 receptors. OPC-31260 also caused a concentration-dependent displacement of the selective AVP V1 receptor antagonist radioligand, [125I]-[d(CH2)5,sarcosine7]AVP from V1 receptors in both rat liver and kidney medulla membranes. The IC50 was 500 +/- 30 nmol/l for both renal and liver V1 receptors. After oral administration to rats, OPC-31260 was an effective inhibitor of AVP at renal V2 and liver V1 receptors in a time-dependent manner. In vitro binding kinetic studies showed that OPC-31260 was a competitive antagonist at both the renal V2 receptor and the hepatic V1 receptor. OPC-31260 is a nonpeptide, orally effective competitive inhibitor of AVP with a V2:V1 receptor selectivity ratio of 25:1 indicating relative V2 receptor selectivity.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus causes hypertonicity, increased plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP), polydipsia, and polyuria. Downregulation of AVP V2 receptors may contribute to the polyuria through diminished V2 receptor-mediated free water retention. After 2 wk of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus, the diabetic rats had raised plasma glucose, AVP, and osmolality levels (P < 0.001) compared with nondiabetic controls (Sham). Insulin treatment (4 U long-acting insulin sc, daily) partially lowered these values (P < 0.01). There was a reduction in the number of renal and hepatic V1 receptors in the diabetic and diabetic+insulin animals compared with the sham animals (P < 0.05). The receptor affinity remained unchanged. In parallel, there was a reduction in maximum AVP-activated total inositol phosphate production in the liver and kidney of the diabetic and diabetic+insulin animals compared with the sham animals (P < 0.05). The density and affinity of renal V2 receptors and AVP-stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate production in the diabetic and diabetic+insulin animals were unchanged compared with the sham. These results demonstrate differential regulation of AVP receptors and suggest that downregulation of renal V2 receptors does not contribute to the polyuria of diabetes. In contrast, downregulation of V1 receptors might contribute to diminished V1 receptor-mediated biological responses to AVP seen in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
1. A vasopressin binding protein purified from rat liver membranes was used to immunize Balb/c mice and, subsequently, for the screening of hybrids raised in two different cell fusions. 2. Three hybrids were obtained which secreted monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) that bound to the purified solubilized receptor as detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. All three MoAb immunoprecipitated the purified receptor. 3. In addition, the MoAb bound in a concentration-dependent manner to crude liver, kidney and anterior pituitary membranes, tissues known to contain arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptors but not to cardiac ventricle membranes which lack AVP receptors. 4. However, the binding of [125I]-[d(CH2)5,Sar7]AVP (a specific radiolabelled V1 antagonist) to the membrane-bound receptor was not inhibited by these antibodies. 5. These results suggest that MoAb recognize epitopes which are common to rat liver, kidney and anterior pituitary membranes but are not at the ligand binding site.

Abstract
1. We have studied the binding characteristics of the hepatic VPRs expressed by rat, cow, pig, sheep and human and have demonstrated species heterogeneity. 2. These species differences are manifested as variation in the VPR capacity (rat > cow > pig > human > sheep), and in the affinity of these receptors for their natural ligand AVP (rat = human > pig = cow). 3. A single class of VPRs, with high affinity for AVP, is present in rat, cow, human and pig liver. In contrast, ovine hepatocytes do not express a VPR. 4. The affinity of the V1a-selective antagonist d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)2AVP is highly dependent on the species utilised, such that rat > human > cow.

Abstract
1. This paper reports on the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of a non-peptide vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist 1-(1-[4-(3-acetylaminopropoxy)benzoyl]-4-piperidyl)-3,4-dihydro-2( 1H)- quinolinone (OPC-21268). 2. OPC-21268 caused a concentration-dependent displacement of the selective V1 receptor antagonist radioligand, [125I]-[d(CH2)5, sarcosine7]AVP from vasopressin V1 receptors in rat liver and kidney membranes, inhibitory concentration of 50% (IC50) 4 x 10(-8), 0.3 mol/L liver and 1.5 x 10(-8), 0.2 mol/L kidney. OPC-21268 had little effect on the selective V2 antagonist radioligand [3H]desGly-NH2(9)-d(CH2)5[D-Ileu2, Ileu4]AVP binding to V2 receptors in renal membranes (IC50 > 10(-4) mol/L). 3. After oral administration to rats, OPC-21268 was an effective V1 antagonist to both liver and kidney V1 receptors, in a dose-dependent manner. 4. These studies confirm that OPC-21268 is a potent non-peptide, orally effective V1 vasopressin receptor antagonist.

Abstract
Since arginine vasopressin may play a role in mineralocorticoid hypertension, we examined the effects of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt on vasopressin V1 and V2 receptor binding and their second messengers, inositol phosphate and adenylate cyclase, respectively, in liver and kidney to determine whether altered vasopressin receptor binding is pathogenetic in mineralocorticoid hypertension. The mean arterial blood pressure of mineralocorticoid (DOCA-salt)-treated rats (163 +/- 1 mm Hg) was increased compared with control salt-treated rats (salt) (122 +/- 1 mm Hg) and water-treated rats (120 +/- 1 mm Hg; p less than 0.001). Mineralocorticoid treatment also increased plasma sodium, osmolality, and vasopressin concentration (p less than 0.001). In the hypertensive animals, there was a reduction in hepatic V1 (DOCA-salt, 91 +/- 12; salt, 132 +/- 13; and water, 145 +/- 13 fmol/mg protein; p less than 0.05) and renal V2 receptor binding density (DOCA-salt, 53 +/- 5; salt, 93 +/- 9; and water, 95 +/- 9 fmol/mg protein; p less than 0.01), although receptor affinities remained unaltered. In contrast, the density of renal V1 receptors was increased by mineralocorticoid treatment (DOCA-salt, 24 +/- 2; salt, 16 +/- 2; water, 18 +/- 1 fmol/mg protein; p less than 0.05), although the affinity was unchanged. Downregulation of V2 receptors was associated with a decrease in maximum cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels (DOCA-salt, 19 +/- 4; salt, 49 +/- 6; water, 53 +/- 9 pmol.mg protein-1.10 min-1; p less than 0.05), whereas changes in V1 receptor levels were not associated with changes in maximum inositol phosphate levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. A vasopressin (AVP) binding protein was purified from rat liver membranes by an improved method using [125I][d(CH2)5'Sarcosine7]AVP, a selective V1 AVP radioligand and a combination of CHAPS solubilization, gel filtration, lectin affinity and FPLC ion exchange chromatography. 2. The purified protein exhibited a maximum binding activity of 2480 pmol/mg protein with a KD of 4.5 nmol/L, which corresponds to a purification of approximately 26,700-fold. The molecular weight of this protein was 70,000 Da. 3. The binding of [125I][d(CH2)5'Sarcosine7]AVP to the solubilized membranes was dependent on the protein concentration, and was inhibited by the unlabelled peptides [d(CH2)5'Sarcosine7]AVP, AVP, and to a lesser degree by peptides with high V2 receptor affinity, such as 1-desamino-D-AVP and [d(CH2)5'D-Ileu2-Ileu4]AVP. 4. In addition, an AVP anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody bound to both the partially purified and purified lectin affinity AVP binding protein in a concentration-dependent manner. These results indicate that the purified protein displays similar characteristics to the liver membrane-bound AVP V1 receptor.

Abstract
The detergent-soluble extract of rat ovary plasma membranes contained a Gs protein of about 100 kDa as shown by its elution behavior on a Bio Gel A-1.5m column. However, the cell membranes exposed to hCG (37 degrees C, 15 min) contained in addition a higher molecular weight Gs protein complex of 300 kDa comprised of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) receptor (hCGR) and Gs. The complex bound with an affinity column of GTP-Sepharose and could be released with Gpp(NH)p and GTP inhibited this binding. The presence of the hCGR in the complex was shown by its binding to 125I-hCG. Furthermore, GTP inhibited the binding of hCG to the complex. These results indicate the presence of hCGR and Gs protein complex in the hCG-treated membranes. hCGR and Gs protein were individually purified and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. The protein-phospholipid vesicles showed saturation kinetics of binding of 125I-hCG and 3H-Gpp(NH)p. Incubation of phospholipid vesicles with hCG resulted in a 2-3-fold increase in the binding of 3H-Gpp(NH)p and GTPase activity. Activation of Gs protein was dependent on the length of incubation and the hormone concentration. Deglycosylated hCG was about 10 times less potent than hCG suggesting a role of carbohydrates of hCG in inducing hCG-Gs protein interactions. The data with the in vitro reconstitution system rule out the involvement of a carbohydrate-binding lectin in the function of the hormone.

Abstract
1. Balb/c mice were immunized against a vasopressin binding protein purified from rat liver. The hybrids produced from two cell fusions were screened against this receptor. Three hybrids were selected, cloned and expanded in serum-free media. The monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) secreted by these three hybrids were of the subclass IgM and were able to immunoprecipitate [125I]-labelled purified receptor. 2. All three MoAb bound to the purified solubilized receptor, crude liver and kidney membranes in a concentration-dependent manner. However, the binding of MoAb to the membranes did not inhibit the binding of [125I]-[d(CH2)5,Sar7]AVP, a selective V1 receptor radioligand, to the liver membrane-bound receptor. 3. These results suggest that the three MoAb recognize epitopes on the V1 receptor which are not denatured by solubilization, but are common to both rat liver and kidney membranes.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized a biotinylated vasopressin antagonist which is a selective probe for studying the V1a subtype of vasopressin receptor. Initially we synthesized the novel vasopressin analogue d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)2LysNH2(9)AVP (ALVP). Biotinamidocaproate was subsequently coupled to the epsilon-amino group of ALVP to generate the novel biotinylated probe d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)2Lys(N epsilon-biotinamido-caproate)NH2(9)AVP (ALBtnVP). Pharmacological characterization of ALVP and ALBtnVP established that both ligands were high affinity antagonists at V1a receptors, and that both displayed marked V1a/V2 selectivity. The observation that receptor-bound ALBtnVP was bi-functional, and thereby able to bind conjugated derivatives of avidin or streptavidin, allowed ALBtnVP to be utilized as a selective probe for V1a receptors. This strategy allowed the visualization of V1a receptors on the surface of WRK-1 cells and hippocampal neurons, by using streptavidin-gold with electron microscopy and fluorescein-avidin with light microscopy. We conclude that ALBtnVP is a useful probe for V1a receptors.

Abstract
Bombesin and its mammalian counterpart gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) are potent mitogens for Swiss 3T3 cells in which distinct high affinity receptors have been identified. We developed here a probe for specific ligand affinity chromatography by coupling biotin to [lys3]bombesin. The resulting biotinylated [lys3]bombesin (BLB) retained biological activity as judged by inhibition of [125I]GRP binding to intact cells and membrane preparations and stimulation of rapid Ca2+ mobilization and DNA synthesis in intact cells. Using this ligand and magnetised beads coated with streptavidin, we extracted differentially a single protein from detergent-solubilized Swiss 3T3 membranes in a BLB-dependent manner. Visualization was achieved either after autoradiograph of metabolically labelled proteins with [35S]methionine or by silver staining of larger preparations. In other experiments, elution of BLB-receptor complexes bound to streptavidin beads was carried out at neutral pH and the eluted fraction was reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. This procedure revealed [125I]GRP binding activity that exhibited saturability, specificity and a 1946-fold increase in specific activity.

Abstract
We describe the reconstitution of solubilized human platelet arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptors into phospholipid vesicles. Purified platelet plasma membranes enriched in AVP receptors [binding equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) = 1.87 +/- 0.14 nM, maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) = 261 +/- 10 fmol/mg protein] were solubilized with 20 mM sodium cholate. Phospholipid vesicles made of 10% cholesterol, 20% egg phosphatidylcholine, and 70% egg phosphatidylserine were formed by bath sonication. Solubilized AVP receptors were incorporated into the vesicles while the detergent was removed by filtration through Sephadex G-100. The reconstituted receptors retained a high affinity for [3H]AVP (Kd = 3.19 +/- 0.13 nM, Bmax = 257 +/- 9 fmol/mg). Competition experiments with different AVP analogues confirmed the V1 vascular nature of the reconstituted receptors. Saturation experiments carried out with the agonist [3H]AVP and the V1 antagonist [3H]d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP revealed that agonist binding to the reconstituted receptors was divalent cation dependent, whereas antagonist binding was not. Moreover, the affinity of the agonist [3H]AVP for the reconstituted receptors was modulated by the nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide analogue guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S), whereas [3H]d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP binding affinity was not. The phospholipid vesicles could be loaded with free fura-2 and displayed an enhanced fluorescence caused by calcium entry after addition of ionomycin. However, stimulation by AVP did not induce an increase of free calcium inside the vesicles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Rabbit brain cortical membranes incubated with carbachol in the presence of GTP gamma S show a marked increase in the degradation of exogenous phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. This activation of phospholipase C is dependent on the presence of deoxycholate and maximal at 0.8-1 mM deoxycholate. There is negligible activation by carbachol alone but in the presence of GTP gamma S a carbachol effect can be readily demonstrated. Optimal activation of phospholipase C by carbachol was seen at 10 to 100 nM free Ca2+. Washing cortical membranes with hypertonic buffer extracted 60% of the membrane protein yet the carbachol and GTP gamma S coupling remained intact. Incubation of the membranes with lysophosphatidylcholine, Nonidet P-40, sodium deoxycholate or digitonin at concentrations considerably less than those frequently used to solubilize membrane proteins abolished the carbachol response. Octyl glucoside and sodium cholate also uncoupled receptor regulation of phospholipase C but only at concentrations where solubilization of membrane proteins occurred. Prior exposure of membranes to carbachol did not prevent the uncoupling observed as a result of detergent treatment. Incubation of the membranes with carbachol and GTP gamma S did not appear to be accompanied by specific release of either active phospholipase C or inhibitors of phospholipase C activity.

Abstract
The molecular recognition hypothesis, that peptide ligands and their receptor binding sites are encoded by complementary nucleotide sequences, was tested for arginine vasopressin (AVP) and its V1 receptor. Binding of [125I] [d(CH2)5,Sar7]AVP (a selective V1 vasopressin antagonist radioligand) or [3H]AVP to rat liver plasma membranes was inhibited by peptides known to bind to V1 receptors but not by the AVP complementary peptide (Ser-Ser-Trp-Ala-Val-Leu-Glu-Val-Ala) (PVA). Rabbit anti-PVA antibodies were nonimmunoreactive with any protein in rat liver membranes or in a partially purified preparation from rat liver containing reconstitutable vasopressin binding activity. Furthermore, there was no suppression of the AVP pressor effect by PVA in vivo using a rat blood pressure bioassay. These findings do not support the hypothesis that the V1 receptor binding site is encoded by the antisense DNA strand to AVP.

Abstract
We have characterized and quantitated the lipids which are cosolubilized with serotonin 5-HT1A sites from sheep brain using 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). Dialysis of the CHAPS extract produced a [3H]8-hydroxy(2-di-n-propylamino)tetralin [( 3H]8-OH-DPAT) binding vesicular preparation of the protein. Quantitative analysis of the lipids present in the CHAPS extract by HPTLC and transmittance-densitometry revealed extraction of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidyl serine (PS) and phosphatidic acid (PA) in striking preference over cholesterol, galactosylceramides, sulfatides and sphingomyelin. All lipids present in the clear CHAPS-extract were coeluted with the [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding preparation were separated by centrifugation, 95-100% of the [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding protein was retained in the vesicle-containing pellet. The supernatant contained small amounts of cholesterol, PE and PC, but virtually no PS, PI, or PA, whereas the vesicular pellet contained all the lipids mentioned, indicating that PS, PI and PA are more tightly bound to the vesicles than PE, PC and cholesterol. SDS-PAGE analysis of the pellet revealed two major protein bands, at 58 kDa and 33.5 kDa, respectively. Our report outlines a simple and improved densitometric assay used for the first detailed analysis of lipids cosolubilized with an active, membrane protein, and also, a simple assay for CHAPS.

Abstract
We have reported the solubilization of complexes between vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and its receptor from rat liver in a GTP-sensitive form of Mr 150,000 [Couvineau, A., Amiranoff, B. & Laburthe, M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 14482-14489]. In the present study, we demonstrate a stable association of solubilized VIP receptor and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gs protein), taking advantage of the ability of the glycoproteic VIP receptor (Mr 48,000), and the inability of the Gs protein, to adsorb to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). 125I-VIP-receptor complexes solubilized in Triton X-100 were adsorbed on WGA-Sepharose, extensively washed and the radioactivity retained was eluted with 1 mM GTP showing that: (a) radioactivity corresponds to free 125I-VIP and (b) alpha s (Mr 42,000) and beta (Mr 35,000) subunits of Gs protein are detectable in the GTP eluate by immunoblotting using antisera against these subunits. Such an effect of GTP implied that a stable ternary complex consisting of VIP, receptor and Gs protein had been adsorbed to WGA-Sepharose. When Triton-solubilized 125I-VIP-receptor complexes were adsorbed on WGA-Sepharose, then retained material was specifically eluted with 0.3 M N-acetylglucosamine, analysis of the sugar eluate showed the following results. (a) GTP induces the dissociation of 125I-VIP-receptor complexes of Mr 150,000 contained in the eluate indicating that 125I-VIP-receptor-G protein complexes had been adsorbed to the WGA column. (b) The Mr-42,000 alpha s subunit can be specifically ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin. (c) Immunoblotting using antisera against the alpha s and beta subunits of Gs protein, reveals Mr-42,000 and Mr-35,000 components corresponding to alpha s and beta subunits, respectively. (d) Affinity cross-linking using dithiobis(succinimidyl-propionate) of 125-I-VIP-receptor complexes eluted from the WGA column reveals a major band corresponding to Mr 150,000. Immunoblotting using antisera against the beta-subunit shows the presence of the beta subunit (Mr 35,000) in this Mr-150,000 component. In conclusion, these data provide functional and immunochemical evidence for the physical association of solubilized VIP-receptor complexes with alpha s and beta subunits of Gs protein.

Abstract
We have developed a unilamellar phospholipid vesicle system which contains the N-formyl peptide receptor and GTP binding proteins. Several detergents were investigated but only two, octyl glucoside (35 mM) and deoxycholate (7.5 mM), were capable of extracting N-formyl peptide receptor from neutrophil membranes in a form which remained functionally active upon reconstitution into phospholipid vesicles. Extracted proteins were reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles by passage over a Sephadex G-50-80 column. The reconstituted formylpeptide receptor could bind [3H]FMLP (3H-labeled fMet-Leu-Phe) and [125I]FMLPL-SASD (125I-labeled N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanyl-N epsilon-(2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl- 1,3'-dithiopropionyl)lysine) while the endogenous G protein could bind [35S]GTP gamma S. Furthermore, the functional interaction of the two proteins was preserved. Addition of the nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide, GTP gamma S, shifted the N-formyl peptide receptor from a high- to a low-affinity binding state for ligand. The development of this in vitro reconstitution system should provide a basis to study the mechanism of interaction of the N-formyl peptide receptor and the G protein.

Abstract
(-)-Isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were significantly greater in membranes from exercise-trained male rats than in sedentary male rats. GTP-inhibition of forskolin (10 microM)-stimulated cyclase activities were observed in sedentary membranes, whereas the inhibitory actions of GTP were significantly reduced in membranes from trained rat adipocytes. Treatment of membranes with islet-activating protein, a pertusis toxin, completely abolished the differences in GTP-inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclase activities between the two groups. The amounts of the inhibitory regulatory protein (41kDa/40kDa polypeptides) were about 40% less in membranes from trained rats than in sedentary membranes, whereas that of the stimulatory regulatory protein (a 45kDa polypeptide) was equivalent. It is concluded that the enhanced cyclase activities of adipocyte membranes from trained male rats appear to result from, in part, an attenuation of the inhibitory pathway due to a specific decrease in the amount of the inhibitory regulatory proteins.
