Agonist-dependent, cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins following transfection of the human alpha 2-C10 adrenergic receptor into rat 1 fibroblasts. Evidence for the direct interaction of a single receptor with two pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins, Gi2 and Gi3

A DNA encoding the human alpha 2-C10 adrenergic receptor was transfected into Rat 1 fibroblasts and clones selected on the basis of resistance to G418 sulfate. Two clones, one of which (1C) expressed some 3.5 pmol/mg membrane protein of the receptor as assessed by the specific binding of [3H]yohimbine and one (4D) which did not express detectable amounts of the receptor were selected for further study. When cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation was performed with [32P]NAD on membranes of these cells in the absence of added guanine nucleotides, radioactivity was incorporated into a polypeptide(s) of 40 kDa in addition to the 45- and 42-kDa forms of Gs alpha. Addition of the selective alpha 2 receptor agonist U.K.14304 enhanced markedly, in a dose-dependent manner, the cholera toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP- ribosylation of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s), but not the 45- or 42-kDa polypeptides, in membranes of the 1C cells. Dose response curves for U.K.14304 enhancement of cholera toxin-labeling of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s) and stimulation of high affinity GTPase activity were identical. By contrast, U.K.14304 was ineffective in either assay in membranes from the 4D cells, demonstrating this effect to be dependent upon receptor activation. Furthermore, the alpha 2 receptor antagonist yohimbine blocked all effects of U.K.14304. The agonist promotion of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi was completely blocked by guanine nucleotides. Whether GDP or GDP + fluoroaluminate (as a mimic of GTP) was used, blockade of the agonist effect was complete and indeed both conditions prevented agonist-independent labeling by cholera toxin of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s). Mg2+ produced an agonist- independent cholera toxin-catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s) but even in the presence of [Mg2+], agonist-stimulation of cholera toxin-labeling of the 40-kDa polypeptide(s) was observed and was additive with the effect of [Mg2+]. Agonist stimulation of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi was completely attenuated by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin, which prevents contact between receptors and G-proteins which are substrates for this toxin. By contrast, pretreatment of the cells with concentrations of cholera toxin able to "down-regulate" essentially all of the membrane- associated Gs alpha did not prevent agonist stimulation of cholera toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of Gi.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
