    Abstract: We identified a glucosyltransferase (YGT) and an ADP-ribosyltransferase (YART) in Yersinia mollaretii , highly related to glucosylating toxins from Clostridium difficile , the cause of antibiotics-associated enterocolitis. Both Yersinia toxins consist of an amino-terminal enzyme domain, an autoprotease domain activated by inositol hexakisphosphate, and a carboxyl-terminal translocation domain. YGT N -acetylglucosaminylates Rab5 and Rab31 at Thr 52 and Thr 36 , respectively, thereby inactivating the Rab proteins. YART ADP-ribosylates Rab5 and Rab31 at Gln 79 and Gln 64 , respectively. This activates Rab proteins by inhibiting GTP hydrolysis. We determined the crystal structure of the glycosyltransferase domain of YGT (YGT G ) in the presence and absence of UDP at 1.9- and 3.4-Å resolution, respectively. Thereby, we identified a previously unknown potassium ion–binding site, which explains potassium ion–dependent enhanced glycosyltransferase activity in clostridial and related toxins. Our findings exhibit a novel type of inverse regulation of Rab proteins by toxins and provide new insights into the structure-function relationship of glycosyltransferase toxins.

    Abstract: The effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) were studied in the isolated rat kidney, which was perfused at constant perfusion pressure with a synthetic medium. In this preparation NPY produced concentration (1-100 nM)-dependent inhibition of renin release and vasoconstriction. In kidneys perfused at constant flow, inhibition of renin release by NPY was even more pronounced, excluding a flow-dependent washout effect. The simultaneous infusion of the calcium channel antagonist methoxyverapamil (2 microM) or of the calmodulin inhibitor calmidazolium (1 microM) did not prevent these effects of NPY, suggesting that calcium-dependent reactions are not primarily involved. Inhibition of renin release by NPY was also observed in tissue pieces prepared from the hydronephrotic rat kidney, in which tubular elements are lacking. This indicates that inhibition of renin release by NPY is not dependent on the presence of macula densa cells or on changes of intrarenal hemodynamics. In isolated kidneys from rats pretreated with pertussis toxin (2 micrograms/100 g ip) both effects of NPY, renal vasoconstriction and inhibition of renin release, were almost completely abolished. The pertussis toxin-sensitive factor mediating the effects of NPY is most likely the Ni-coupling protein of the adenylate cyclase complex. Accordingly, our data suggest that NPY induces renal vasoconstriction and inhibits renin release by inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in vascular smooth muscle and renin-producing cells.

    Abstract: Cell swelling triggers in most cell types an outwardly rectifying anion current, I Cl,swell , via volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs). We have previously demonstrated in calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells that inhibition of the Rho/Rho kinase/myosin light chain phosphorylation pathway reduces the swelling-dependent activation of I Cl,swell . However, these experiments did not allow us to discriminate between a direct activator role or a permissive effect. We now show that the Rho pathway did not affect VRAC activity if this pathway was activated by transfecting CPAE cells with constitutively active isoforms of Gα (a Rho activating heterotrimeric G protein subunit), Rho, or Rho kinase. Furthermore, biochemical and morphological analysis failed to demonstrate activation of the Rho pathway during hypotonic cell swelling. Finally, manipulating the Rho pathway with either guanosine 5′- O-(3-thiotriphosphate) or C3 exoenzyme had no effect on VRACs in caveolin-1-expressing Caco-2 cells. We conclude that the Rho pathway exerts a permissive effect on VRACs in CPAE cells, i.e., swelling-induced opening of VRACs requires a functional Rho pathway, but not an activation of the Rho pathway.

    Abstract: Thrombin inhibits adenylate cyclase and stimulates GTP hydrolysis by high-affinity GTPase(s) in membranes of human platelets at almost identical concentrations. Both of these thrombin actions are similar to those observed with agonist-activated alpha 2-adrenoceptors coupling to the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein N1. However, stimulation of GTP hydrolysis caused by adrenaline (alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist) and by thrombin at maximally effective concentrations was partially additive, whereas with regard to adenylate cyclase inhibition no additive response was observed. Furthermore, treatment of platelet membranes with pertussis toxin, which inactivates Ni and largely abolishes thrombin- and adrenaline-induced adenylate cyclase inhibition and adrenaline-induced GTPase stimulation, decreased the thrombin-induced stimulation of GTP hydrolysis by only about 30%. Additionally, the thiol reagent N-ethylmalemide (NEM) at rather low concentrations abolished thrombin- and adrenaline-induced stimulation of GTP hydrolysis was decreased by only 30-40% by treatment of platelet membranes with even high concentrations of NEM. Treatment with cholera toxin, which inhibits GTPase activity of the Ns (stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding) protein, has no effect on thrombin-stimulated GTP hydrolysis. The data suggest that thrombin interaction with its receptor sites in platelet membranes leads to stimulation of two GTP-hydrolysing enzymes. One of these enzymes is apparently Ni and is also activated by agonist-activated alpha 2-adrenoceptors and is inactivated by pertussis toxin and NEM treatment. The other GTP-hydrolysing enzyme activated by thrombin may represent a guanine nucleotide-binding protein apparently involved in the coupling of thrombin receptors to the phosphoinositide phosphodiesterase.

    Abstract: The influence of various proteinases on GTP hydrolysis was studied in membranes of human platelets. Of the proteinases examined, trypsin, acrosin and a recently described trypsin-like proteinase from bovine sperm, but not chymotrypsin, increased GTP hydrolysis. Similar to what was described previously for hormone-like agents, the stimulation of GTP hydrolysis by the proteinases was only observed at low GTP concentrations, with apparent Km values of 0.2-0.3 microM-GTP. Stimulation of the high-affinity GTPase by the proteinases occurred without apparent lag phase and was constant over a long period of incubation. The proteinase inhibitors leupeptin and soya-bean trypsin inhibitor blocked the stimulation of GTP hydrolysis, but did not reverse the effect of the proteinases. Treatment of platelet membranes with N-ethylmaleimide, which eliminates Gi-protein (inhibitory guanine-nucleotide-binding protein)-related GTPase stimulation by adrenaline, decreased stimulation of GTP hydrolysis by the proteinases only partially. Activation of GTP hydrolysis by the proteinases was partially additive with that caused by adrenaline, whereas thrombin stimulation was not increased further. The data indicate that, similarly to the proteinase thrombin, trypsin and trypsin-like proteinases can activate GTP-hydrolysing protein(s) that exhibit high affinity for GTP in platelet membranes. It is suggested that the proteinases interact in platelet membranes with a receptor site similar to that used by thrombin and that the observed GTPase stimulation is a reflection of a proteinase-receptor interaction with a guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory protein.

    Abstract: beta-Adrenergic agonists such as isoproterenol stimulate hamster adipocyte adenylate cyclase by a GTP-dependent process, whereas prostaglandin E1, alpha-adrenergic agonists, and nicotinic acid inhibit the enzyme by a process also dependent on GTP and amplified by sodium ions. We have determined the first-order rate constant describing the decay of isoproterenol plus GTP-stimulated adenylate cyclase and the modulation of this off rate constant by sodium and inhibitory hormonal factors. With 1 microM GTP and 0.2 mM isoproterenol, the off rate constant was 5.0 min-1 at 25 degrees C. Addition of NaCl (100 mM), which increased basal and isoproterenol-stimulated cyclase activities, decreased the rate constant of the hormone-stimulated enzyme to 1.4 min-1. Prostaglandin E1 (10 microM) and nicotinic acid (30 microM), which decreased basal and hormonally stimulated enzyme activities, increased the NaCl-suppressed off rate constant to 6.1 and 6.0 min-1, respectively. Similar data were obtained with 1 mM isoproterenol with MnATP and MgATP as the adenylate cyclase substrate. On the other hand, the turn-on reaction of adipocyte adenylate cyclase, measured with the stable GTP analogue 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate (30 microM), was accelerated by isoproterenol (1 mM) and NaCl (100 mM). Under all of these conditions, inhibitory hormonal agents did not cause any delay in the turn-on reaction. These data indicate that, in hamster adipocyte membranes, inhibitory hormonal factors inhibit adenylate cyclase by increasing the enzyme's turn-off reaction.
