title: Two distinct Gi-proteins mediate formyl peptide receptor signal transduction in human leukemia (HL-60) cells.
abstract: In membranes of myeloid differentiated HL-60 cells, the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine stimulates phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein but does not inhibit adenylyl cyclase. In these membranes, the chemotactic peptide markedly stimulates the cholera toxin-dependent [32P]ADP-ribosylation of two proteins with approximate molecular masses of 40 and 41 kDa, respectively. The radiolabeled proteins comigrate on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with the two pertussis toxin substrates present in HL-60 membranes, alpha i2 and alpha i3. The effect of the chemotactic peptide is blocked by treatment of intact HL-60 cells with pertussis toxin. Peptide mapping studies using Staphylococcus aureus protease V8 reveal that the two radiolabeled proteins are structurally distinct. Thus, the agonist-activated formyl peptide receptor functionally interacts with two distinct pertussis toxin substrates, most likely with Gi2 and Gi3. As the third Gi protein, Gi1, appears to be absent from both HL-60 cells and from systems that clearly reveal hormonal inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, the results strongly suggest that primary structure alone does not suffice to determine which effector mechanism is regulated by a given Gi-protein.
