Functional interaction of purified muscarinic receptors with purified inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins reconstituted in phospholipid vesicles.
The GTP binding regulatory protein (Ni involved in adenylate cyclase inhibition was purified from rat brain and reconstituted, together with muscarinic cholinergic receptors purified from porcine brain, into phospholipid vesicles. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thio)-triphosphate ([35S]GTP gamma S) binding and GTP hydrolyzing activities of reconstituted Ni were stimulated by the addition of a muscarinic agonist, carbachol. The effect of carbachol was to increase the Vmax values of these activities, but the Km values were also increased slightly in most cases. Carbachol bound to vesicles with the same order of magnitude of Km as that for stimulation of GTPase. The affinity of this binding was reduced by GTP gamma S, indicating that the high-affinity receptor-Ni complex was formed in a GTP-dependent manner in reconstituted vesicles. Incubation of Ni with NAD and islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, caused ADP-ribosylation of the alpha-subunit of Ni. The criteria for the receptor-Ni interaction, i.e. carbachol stimulation of the activities of Ni and the GTP gamma S effect on carbachol binding, were no longer observed, when this IAP-treated Ni, instead of the nontreated Ni, was reconstituted into vesicles, though there was no difference between IAP-treated and nontreated Ni in their basal activities observable without carbachol. No, the protein with a character very similar to Ni in rat brain, was also coupled to muscarinic receptors when they were reconstituted into vesicles under the same conditions. Thus, GTP-binding proteins serving as the substrate of IAP-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation are capable of interaction functionally with muscarinic receptors in phospholipid vesicles.
