Regulation of ligand-receptor dynamics by guanine nucleotides. Real- time analysis of interconverting states for the neutrophil formyl peptide receptor

LA Sklar, GM Bokoch, D Button and JE Smolen

Intact neutrophils exhibit interconverting active and inactive receptor states with half-times for dissociation of 10 s and 2 min, respectively. We examined the effect of guanine nucleotides on ligand- receptor dynamics at 37 degrees C in neutrophils permeabilized with digitonin using continuous fluorometric measurements. The permeabilized cells exhibit a single class of slowly dissociating receptors with a half-time similar to the inactive state. The slowly dissociating state is lengthened in the presence of 10 mM by Mg2+ about two-fold but is relatively insensitive to substitutions of Na+ or K+. When guanine nucleotide is added the receptors dissociate uniformly with a half-time similar to the active state but are sensitive to the substitution of Na+ or K+ (K+ or K+/Mg2+ approximately 10 s; Na+ or Na+/Mg2+ approximately 4 s). When receptors in permeabilized cells are ADP- ribosylated with pertussis toxin the rapidly dissociating state is detected. In the presence of nonsaturating nucleotide or incomplete ribosylation, complex rates of ligand dissociation intermediate between the active and inactive forms are observed. Micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ block the effect of guanine nucleotide on the receptor. The relationships between ligand-receptor dynamics in intact neutrophils and interconverting states regulated by guanine nucleotides and ions in permeabilized cells are discussed.
