Reconstitution of catecholamine-stimulated binding of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) to the stimulatory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase [PDF]

open access: closedBiochemistry, 1984
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.

Magnesium requirements for guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) induced assembly of microtubule protein and tubulin

open access: closedBiochemistry, 1986
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.

Characterization, Guanosine 5′-O-(3-Thiotriphosphate) Modulation, Daily Variation, and Localization of Melatonin-Binding Sites in the Catfish (Silurus asotus) Brain

open access: closedGeneral and Comparative Endocrinology, 1997
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.

Activation of 5-lipoxygenase by guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) and other nucleoside phosphorothioates: Redox properties of thionucleotide analogs

open access: closedArchives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1989
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.

Caffeine inhibits cytoplasmic Ca2+ oscillations induced by carbachol and guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) in hyperpolarized pancreatic ß-cells

open access: closedNaunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 1994
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 ...

Kinetic analysis of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) effects on phosphatidylinositol turnover in NRK cell homogenates

open access: closedBiochemistry, 1987
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 ...

Plasma membrane associated phospholipase C from human platelets: synergistic stimulation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis by thrombin and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)

open access: closedBiochemistry, 1989
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)-induced O−2Generation in Permeabilized Neutrophils Requires Protein Kinase C and Phospholipase C but Not Tyrosine Kinase or Phospholipase D

open access: closedArchives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1999
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 ...

Effect of Guanosine 5′‐O‐(3‐Thiotriphosphate) and Calcium on γ‐Aminobutyric AcidB Binding as a Function of Postnatal Development

open access: closedJournal of Neurochemistry, 1989
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 ...

Combination of Arachidonic Acid and Guanosine 5′-O-(3-Thiotriphosphate) Induces Translocation of rac p21s to Membrane and Activation of NADPH Oxidase in a Cell-Free System

open access: closedBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1993
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 ...
