Reconstitution of catecholamine-stimulated binding of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) to the stimulatory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase [PDF]
The stimulatory GTP-binding protein (Gs) of adenylate cyclase, purified from rabbit liver, and beta-adrenergic receptors, partially purified 1000-4000-fold from turkey erythrocyte plasma membranes, were coreconstituted into unilamellar phospholipid vesicles.

Two conflicting interpretations on the role of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) in microtubule protein and tubulin assembly have been previously reported. One study finds that GTP gamma S promotes assembly while another study reports that GTP gamma S is a potent inhibitor of microtubule assembly.

Characteristics, guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) modulation, daily variation, and localization of melatonin-binding sites in the brain of a nocturnal teleost, the catfish Silurus asotus, were studied by radioreceptor assay using 2-[125I]iodomelatonin as the radioligand.

The stable nucleotide analog guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was found to be a very potent activator of 5-lipoxygenase in cell-free preparations from rat polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes, causing a 10-fold stimulation of arachidonic acid oxidation at concentrations as low as 0.5-1 microM.

The effects of caffeine on cytoplasmic Ca2+ oscillations induced by carbachol and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S) were studied in individual mouse pancreatic beta-cells clamped at a hyperpolarized potential. Addition of 10 mM caffeine did not affect the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in beta-cells exposed to 20 mM glucose ...

Addition of the guanine nucleotide analogue guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) to [3H]inositol-labeled NRK cell homogenates resulted in rapid breakdown of cellular polyphosphoinositides. GTP gamma S stimulated phospholipase C, resulting in a more than 4-fold increase in the hydrolysis rates of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and ...

The effects of thrombin and GTP gamma S on the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides by membrane-associated phospholipase C (PLC) from human platelets were examined with endogenous [3H]inositol-labeled membranes or with lipid vesicles containing either [3H]phosphatidylinositol or [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate.

Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) induces respiratory burst (O-2 generation) in permeabilized human neutrophils. The signal pathway from GTPgammaS to the enzyme responsible for O-2 generation (NADPH oxidase) is not well defined. To elucidate the signaling pathway activated by GTPgammaS, we used selective inhibitors to test for the ...

Abstract: We have examined the development of γ‐aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) receptors in rat cerebrum using a binding assay that has achieved specific binding levels of ∼50% with the GABAB ligand (–)‐[3H]baclofen. As early as postnatal day 1, GABAB receptors are present and are linked to both calcium‐ and guanosine triphosphate‐binding protein (G ...

The superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase system in phagocytes consists of membrane-associated cytochrome b558 and three cytosolic components named p67-phox, p47-phox, and rac p21s. In a cell-free system consisting of membrane and cytosol, the oxidase can be activated with guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and an unsaturated fatty acid ...
