title: Binding of Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin and rise of cyclic GMP in COLO 205 human colonic carcinoma cells.
abstract: Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) was found to bind on the surface of human colonic (COLO 205) cells. The binding of [125I]STa to cell membranes was found to be specific, reversible and saturable. Scatchard analysis of the equilibrium binding demonstrated a single class of binding sites with a Kd of 0.5 x 10(-10) M. Autoradiographic analysis of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the specific incorporation of [125I]STa into a single STa binding protein with a molecular mass of 95 kDa. Following incubation of COLO 205 cells with STa, a rise of intracellular cGMP was also evident.
