title: The activation of adenylate cyclase by pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) via helodermin-preferring VIP receptors in human SUP-T1 lymphoblastic membranes.
abstract: Competition binding curves, using [125I-acetyl-His1]PACAP-27 as radioligand and dose-effect curves of adenylate cyclase activation in human SUP-T1 lymphoblastic membranes showed that PACAP-27 and PACAP-38 stimulate the enzyme through a single class of helodermin-preferring VIP receptors with the following order of potency: helodermin = [acetyl-His1]PACAP-27 greater than PACAP-38 greater than PACAP-27 greater than VIP. PACAP (6-27) (Ki 0.5-0.8 microM) and [Des-His1, Asn3]PACAP-27 (Ki 1-2 microM) acted as competitive antagonists. Using a series of 13 PACAP-27 analogues and fragments and three VIP analogues, we identified positions 1, 2, 3, 9 and 13 in PACAP-27 as being of importance for high-affinity binding. Thus, we added further evidence for considering that the present helodermin-preferring VIP receptors, when compared to a majority of VIP receptors and PACAP receptors, exhibit an original specificity pattern.
