I. Evidence for an Ni-like protein coupled to the formyl peptide, C5a, and leukotriene B4 chemotaxis receptors. PG - 1961-70 AB - We have characterized the GTPase activity of the Ni-like guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein in rabbit neutrophil plasma membranes. The low Km (3.64 +/- 0.87 X 10(-7) M) GTPase copurified with the formyl peptide receptor in the plasma membrane fraction obtained by discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The Vmax (23.9 +/- 2.91 pmol/mg/min) and Km of the unstimulated enzyme were similar to those reported for Ni in other cell types. The activity of the unstimulated enzyme was both magnesium and sodium dependent and linear over the first 4 min of the assay. The chemoattractants, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), C5a, and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) stimulated the GTPase in purified neutrophil plasma membrane preparations, whereas other secretagogues, such as A23187 and PMA, were without effect. Lineweaver-Burk analysis showed an fMLP-induced increase in Vmax (31.94 +/- 4.80 pmol/mg/min) (33.1 +/- 9.5%) but not in Km. The dose-response curve for fMLP stimulation showed an ED50 of 4.1 +/- 1.0 X 10(-8) M and an overall 22.2 +/- 3.1% maximal stimulation. C5a (30 micrograms/ml) increased the activity of the GTPase 21.3 +/- 5.7% and 10(-7) M LTB4 produced a 32.2 +/- 5.4% increase. Activated pertussis toxin treatment of neutrophil plasma membranes inhibited by 72.5 +/- 14.3% the stimulation of GTPase activity induced by fMLP; however, activated cholera toxin had no effect on the inhibition of fMLP stimulation, suggesting a direct role for an Ni-like protein in the coupling process. In contrast to the lack of inhibition of fMLP stimulation by activated cholera toxin treatment of plasma membranes, both pertussis toxin and to a lesser extent cholera toxin treatment reduced fMLP, C5a, and LTB4 stimulation of the GTPase in sonicates prepared from pretreated whole cells. Pertussis toxin inhibited fMLP stimulation of the GTPase by 75 +/- 7%, C5a stimulation was inhibited by 83 +/- 13%, and LTB4 stimulation was inhibited completely. Sonicates prepared from neutrophils treated similarly with cholera toxin showed a smaller inhibition of GTPase activity (50 +/- 4% and 14 +/- 9% for fMLP and LTB4, respectively) with the exception of C5a, where CT inhibition (81 +/- 32%) equaled pertussis toxin inhibition. Similarly, pertussis toxin completely inhibited the release of the granule enzyme N-acetyl-glucosaminidase by all three chemoattractants, whereas cholera toxin, except with C5a stimulation, had little or no effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) FAU - Feltner, D E AU - Feltner DE FAU - Smith, R H AU - Smith RH FAU - Marasco, W A AU - Marasco WA LA - eng GR - HL-28445/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/United States PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.
