Evidence for a high affinity, saturable, prenylation-dependent p21Ha-ras binding site in plasma membranes.

چکیده
Oncogenic p21ras proteins can only exert their stimulation of cellular proliferation when plasma membrane-associated. This membrane association has an absolute requirement for post-translational modification with isoprenoids. The mechanism by which isoprenoids participate in the specific association of p21ras with plasma membranes is the subject of this report. We present in vitro evidence for a plasma membrane binding protein for p21(ras) that can recognize the isoprenoid substituent and, therefore, may facilitate the localization of p21ras.

Formyl peptide chemotaxis receptors on the rat neutrophil: experimental evidence for negative cooperativity.
To examine the existence of negative cooperativity among formyl peptide chemotaxis receptors, steady-state binding of f Met-Leu-[3H]Phe to viable rat neutrophils and their purified plasma membranes was measured and the data were subjected to statistical analysis and to computer curve fitting using the NONLIN computer program. Curvilinear, concave upward Scatchard plots were obtained. NONLIN and...
متن کاملA saturable high affinity binding site for transcobalamin II-vitamin B12 complexes in human placental membrane preparations.
Studies were designed to evaluate the binding of binding of vitamin B12 to cell membrane preparations from human placenta. The transcobalamin II-vitamin B12 complex (TCII-B12), which has a much greater affinity for the membranes than vitamin B12 alone, binds to a single saturable binding site with an approximate Ka = 7.2 mM-1. The binding requires a divalent cation and is temperature-dependent....
متن کاملPrenylation-dependent association of Ki-Ras with microtubules. Evidence for a role in subcellular trafficking.
We recently identified a prenyl peptide-binding protein in microsomal membranes from bovine brain (Thissen, J. A., and Casey, P. J. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 13780-13783). Through a variety of approaches, this binding protein has been identified as the cytoskeletal protein tubulin. Prenyl peptides bind to purified tubulin with a Kd of 40 nM and also bind to tubulin polymerized into microtubule...
متن کاملCharacterization of tetanus toxin binding to rat brain membranes. Evidence for a high-affinity proteinase-sensitive receptor.
Binding of 125I-labelled tetanus toxin to rat brain membranes in 25 mM-Tris/acetate, pH 6.0, was saturable and there was a single class of high-affinity site (KD 0.26-1.14 nM) present in high abundance (Bmax. 0.9-1.89 nmol/mg). The sites were largely resistant to proteolysis and heating but were markedly sensitive to neuraminidase. Trisialogangliosides were effective inhibitors of toxin binding...
متن کاملHigh affinity binding of chylomicron remnants to rat liver plasma membranes.
The binding of chylomicron remnants rat liver plasma membranes was studied. Liver membranes bound up to 8 times more remnants than they bound chylomicrons. The remnant particle appeared to bind to the membrane as a unit. Remnant binding was greatest to liver plasma membrane; only one third as much binding was observed with whole liver homogenate, and virtually no binding occurred to erythrocyte...
