摘要
将神经节苷脂GM3(Monosialoganglioside-GM3)通过保温法掺入到含激活型G蛋白(StimulatoryGTP-bindingprotein,Gs)与腺苷酸环化酶(AdenylylCyclase,AC)的脂酶体中,研究了GM3对Gs和AC偶联功能的影响。实验结果表明,在4-10μmol/L浓度范围的GM3增加AC的基础活力;在高于4μmol/L时,GM3可显著抑制Gs激活AC的能力;而在GM3浓度高于100μmol/L的条件下,Gs结合GTPγS(Guanosine5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate))的活力受到明显抑制。随外源GM3浓度的增加,GM3对Gs激活AC的能力与对AC基础活力的影响似乎并不完全一致。这些结果提示,Gs与AC的解偶联对较低浓度的GM3的影响更加敏感。用荧光探剂MC540标记脂酶体,测量其荧光光谱的结果显示,随着GM3浓度增加,MC540的荧光强度增强,这说明外源性的GM3的掺入使膜脂质分子头部的堆积变得更加疏松。这可能提示,GM3介导的膜脂物理状态的变化是调节Gs与AC偶联功能的重要因素之一。
The ganglioside GM3 was incorporated by incubation into the proteoliposomes containing Gs(Stimulatory GTP-binding protein) and AC(Adenylyl Cyclase), and its effect on the coupling function of Gs and AC was studied. The results indicated that in low concentrations (4~10μmol/L) of added GM3, the basal activity of AC was stimulated, while the activities of Gs stimulating AC, and of Gs binding to GTPγS were significantly inhibited with the concentration of GM3 higher than 4, and 100μmol/L, respectively. With increase of added GM3, the effect of GM3 on Gs stimulating AC was not in accord with that of GM3 on the basal activity of AC. The results may suggest that the uncoupling between Gs and AC was more sensitive to low concentration of GM3. Fluorescence changes of the proteoliposomes with or without GM3, using MC540 as a fluorescence probe, were measured. The results showed that the fluorescent intensity of the labeled proteoliposomes enhanced with increase of GM3, which indicated that added GM3 would loosen packing of the lipid molecules in the proteoliposomes. In conclusion, it seemed that GM3 regulated the coupling function between Gs and AC probably by mediating the fluidity of lipid bilayer in the membranes.
