Two guanine nucleotide-binding proteins in rat brain serving as the specific substrate of islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin. Interaction of the alpha-subunits with beta gamma-subunits in development of their biological activities

T Katada, M Oinuma and M Ui

Two proteins serving as substrates for ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, and binding guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) with high affinities were purified from the cholate extract of rat brain membranes. The purified proteins had the same heterotrimeric structure (alpha beta gamma) as the IAP substrates previously purified from rabbit liver and bovine brain and differed from each other in alpha only; the molecular weight of alpha was 41,000 (alpha 41 beta gamma) and 39,000 (alpha 39 beta gamma). Both were further resolved into alpha (alpha 41 or alpha 39) and beta gamma which were also purified to homogeneity to compare the activities of alpha-monomers with the original trimers. The maintenance of the rigid trimeric structure by combining alpha 41 or alpha 39 with beta gamma in the absence of Mg2+ was essential for the alpha-subunit to be ADP-ribosylated by IAP. The alpha-subunit was very stable but displayed the only partial GTP gamma S-binding activity under these conditions. Isolated alpha-monomers exhibited high GTPase activities when assayed in the presence of submicromolar Mg2+ but were very unstable at 30 degrees C and not ADP-ribosylated by IAP. The most favorable conditions for the GTP gamma S binding to alpha-subunits were achieved by combining alpha 41 or alpha 39 with beta gamma in the presence of millimolar Mg2+, probably due to the increase in stability and unmasking of the GTP-binding sites. There was no qualitative difference in these properties between alpha 41 beta gamma (alpha 41) and alpha 39 beta gamma (alpha 39). But alpha 39 beta gamma (or alpha 39) was usually more active than alpha 41 beta gamma (or alpha 41), at least partly due to its higher affinity for Mg2+ and lower affinity for beta gamma. Relation of these differences in activity between alpha 41 beta gamma and alpha 39 beta gamma to their physiological roles in signal transduction is discussed.
