A proposal that EGF action is mediated through enhanced internalization of EGF receptors is modified to account for more recent evidence. EGF receptors turn over at a rapid rate, and the maintenance of a steady state of EGF receptors on the cell surface is provided through a rapid synthesis of EGF receptors, balancing their removal. This rapid turnover of unoccupied receptors may arise through their internalization and proteolysis in the lysosomes, in much the same way as receptors are internalized and degraded when exposed to EGF, which enhances internalization. This provides a dilemmma for the endocytic activation concept, since slight enhancement of receptor internalization gives rise to a strong hormone response. This problem may be solved by the observation that EGF induces a change in its receptor, exposing an otherwise unavailable site for proteolytic cleavage. This hormone-dependent modification of receptors may be the critical step in the induction of responses to EGF and other hormones that are internalized with their receptors. Both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) are shown to down-regulate EGF receptors, though transiently, placing still more stringent requirements on the specificity by which hormones might act through endocytic activation of their receptors. 相似文献

A new approach is presented for the application of single‐molecule imaging to membrane receptors through the use of vesicles derived from cells expressing fluorescently labeled receptors. During the isolation of vesicles, receptors remain embedded in the membrane of the resultant vesicles, thus allowing these vesicles to serve as nanocontainers for single‐molecule measurements. Cell‐derived vesicles maintain the structural integrity of transmembrane receptors by keeping them in their physiological membrane. It was demonstrated that receptors isolated in these vesicles can be studied with solution‐based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and can be isolated on a solid substrate for single‐molecule studies. This technique was applied to determine the stoichiometry of α3β4 nicotinic receptors. The method provides the capability to extend single‐molecule studies to previously inaccessible classes of receptors. 相似文献

Neutral imidazole/aminopyridine- and indole/aminopyridine-based receptors, 1 and 2, have been established as highly effective and selective carbohydrate receptors. These receptors effectively recognise neutral carbohydrates through multiple interactions, including neutral hydrogen bonds and CH...pi interactions between the sugar CH groups and the aromatic rings of the receptors. The design of these receptors was inspired by the binding motifs observed in the crystal structures of protein-carbohydrate complexes. The formation of very strong complexes with beta-glucopyranoside 5, beta-maltoside 8, and alpha-maltoside 9 in organic media has been characterised by 1H NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by a second, independent technique, namely fluorescence spectroscopy. The syntheses, molecular-modelling studies, binding properties of the receptors 1 and 2 toward selected mono- and disaccharides as well as comparative binding studies with receptors 3 and 4 are described. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of pyrazole-based receptors in the complexation of carbohydrates. Representatives of a new series of acyclic pyrazole-based receptors were prepared and their binding properties toward selected mono- and disaccharides evaluated. The results of the binding studies were compared with those obtained for acyclic imidazole- and indole-based receptors. The first binding studies revealed di- vs monosaccharide binding preferences of the new receptors and showed that pyrazole units are useful building blocks for the construction of receptors with interesting binding preferences. 相似文献

Synthesis and binding affinity of rationally designed artificial ditopic nucleobase receptors are reported. The ditopic receptors were designed to recognize thymine-thymine dinucleotides by their two hydrogen-bonding moieties, which are connected to conformationally well-defined linkages such as ferrocene and biphenylene. The ditopic receptors exhibited a remarkably strong binding affinity for lipophilic TpT analogue in CDCl(3)/DMSO-d(6) (85:15, v/v). The binding affinity of the ditopic receptors for the dinucleotide was so high that even native TpT was extracted by them into CDCl(3). Detailed comparisons for the recognition abilities of the ditopic receptors were also conducted. 相似文献

GABA(C) (rho) receptors are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of neurotransmitter receptors, which includes nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh), 5-HT(3), and glycine receptors. As in other members of this family, the agonist binding site of GABA(C) receptors is rich in aromatic amino acids, but while other receptors bind agonist through a cation-pi interaction to a tryptophan, the GABA(C) binding site has tyrosine at the aligning positions. Incorporating a series of tyrosine derivatives at position 198 using unnatural amino acid mutagenesis reveals a clear correlation between the cation-pi binding ability of the side chain and EC(50) for receptor activation, thus demonstrating a cation-pi interaction between a tyrosine side chain and a neurotransmitter. Comparisons among four homologous receptors show variations in cation-pi binding energies that reflect the nature of the cationic center of the agonist. 相似文献

AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isooxazole) receptors, a major subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), mediate the majority of the fast communication between neurons, and the activity-dependent trafficking of AMPA receptors at synapses plays a role in mammalian learning and memory. Here we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a photoreactive AMPA receptor antagonist that provides a means of "knocking out" AMPA receptors present on the surface of cells. The antagonist, 6-azido-7-nitro-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (ANQX), was designed by introducing a photoreactive azido group onto a quinoxalinedione inhibitor scaffold. Computational docking of ANQX to the AMPA receptor ligand-binding core predicted efficient binding to AMPA receptors. Glutamate-evoked currents were reversibly blocked at micromolar ANQX concentrations prior to photolysis and irreversibly blocked following photolysis. ANQX provides a means of directly evaluating the trafficking of native AMPA receptors with unparalleled spatiotemporal resolution. 相似文献

A large fraction of the field of supramolecular chemistry has focused in previous decades upon the study and use of synthetic receptors as a means of mimicking natural receptors. Recently, the demand for synthetic receptors is rapidly increasing within the analytical sciences. These classes of receptors are finding uses in simple indicator chemistry, cellular imaging, and enantiomeric excess analysis, while also being involved in various truly practical assays of bodily fluids. Moreover, one of the most promising areas for the use of synthetic receptors is in the arena of differential sensing. Although many synthetic receptors have been shown to yield exquisite selectivities, in general, this class of receptor suffers from cross-reactivities. Yet, cross-reactivity is an attribute that is crucial to the success of differential sensing schemes. Therefore, both selective and nonselective synthetic receptors are finding uses in analytical applications. Hence, a field of chemistry that herein is entitled "Supramolecular Analytical Chemistry" is emerging, and is predicted to undergo increasingly rapid growth in the near future. 相似文献

Summary G-protein-coupled receptors all share the seven transmembrane helix motif similar to bacteriorhodopsin. This similarity was exploited to build models for these receptors. From an analysis of a multi-sequence alignment of 225 G-protein-coupled receptors belonging to the rhodopsin-like superfamily, conclusions could be drawn about functional residues. Seven residues in the transmembrane regions are conserved throughout all aligned receptors. These residues cluster at the cytosolic side of the transmembrane helices and are for all rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptors implied in signal transduction. An analysis of correlated mutations reveals a number of residues, both in the helices and in the cytosolic loops, that might be important in the signal transduction pathway in subfamilies of this receptor family. 相似文献

Polyamines, especially spermine, inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors as open channel blockers. Two types of water-soluble NMDA receptor antagonist, ACCn (1) and TGCn (2), with a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane cyclic polyamine group, were synthesized and the effects of both compounds on NMDA receptors were studied using voltage-clamp recordings of recombinant NMDA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. These compounds inhibited macroscopic currents in both NR1/NR2A and NR1/NR2B receptor subtypes in oocytes voltage-clamped at -70 mV. Inhibition by the compounds of NR1/NR2A receptors were more prominent than that of NR1/NR2B receptors. The inhibitory effects of ACCn (1) on both NMDA receptors were more potent than those of TGCn (2). 相似文献

Abstract The excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors mediate one of the major signaling systems in the central nervous system, and they are thought to be implicated in some neurodege-nerative disorders, e.g. Alzheimer's disease and stroke. It is of key importance to design selective ligands for every group of EAA receptors. The AMPA receptors are one such group of EAA receptors. (RS)-ATPO is a potent antagonist at the AMPA receptors, but it has hitherto been pharmacologically characterized only as the racemate.[1, 2] 相似文献

Synthetic mimics of mammalian cell surface receptors: prosthetic molecules that augment living cells
Peterson BR 《Organic & biomolecular chemistry》2005,3(20):3607-3612
Specific receptors on the surface of mammalian cells actively internalize cell-impermeable ligands by receptor-mediated endocytosis. To mimic these internalizing receptors, my laboratory is studying artificial cell surface receptors that comprise N-alkyl derivatives of 3beta-cholesterylamine linked to motifs that bind cell-impermeable ligands. When added to living mammalian cells, these synthetic receptors insert into cellular plasma membranes, project ligand-binding small molecules or peptides from the cell surface, and enable living cells to internalize targeted proteins and other cell-impermeable compounds. These artificial receptors mimic their natural counterparts by rapidly cycling between plasma membranes and intracellular endosomes, associating with proposed cholesterol and sphingolipid-rich lipid raft membrane microdomains, and delivering ligands to late endosomes/lysosomes. This "synthetic receptor targeting" strategy is briefly reviewed here and contrasted with other related cellular delivery systems. Potential applications of artificial cell surface receptors as molecular probes, agents for cellular targeting, tools for drug delivery, and methods for ligand depletion are discussed. The construction of synthetic receptors as prosthetic molecules, designed to seamlessly augment the molecular machinery of living cells, represents an exciting new frontier in the fields of bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology. 相似文献

Natural anion receptors use charge-neutral dipoles to bind small anions with high affinities and selectivities. A convergent and rigid display of hydrogen bond donors such as amide, thiourea and urea functional groups in macrocyclic scaffolds would be one of the most efficient ways to create synthetic anion receptors that mimic natural ones. In this article, we present examples of natural anion receptors and discuss the synthesis of neutral macrocyclic receptors and their anion binding properties. 相似文献
