Abstract
Evidence from use of pertussis and cholera toxins and from NaF suggested the involvement of G proteins in GnRH regulation of gonadotrope function. We have used three different methods to assess GnRH receptor regulation of G(q/11)alpha subunits (G(q/11)alpha). First, we used GnRH-stimulated palmitoylation of G(q/11)alpha to identify their involvement in GnRH receptor-mediated signal transduction. Dispersed rat pituitary cell cultures were labeled with [9,10-(3)H(N)]-palmitic acid and immunoprecipitated with rabbit polyclonal antiserum made against the C-terminal sequence of G(q/11)alpha. The immunoprecipitates were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE and quantified. Treatment with GnRH resulted in time-dependent (0-120 min) labeling of G(q/11)alpha. GnRH (10(-12), 10(-10), 10(-8), or 10(-6) g/ml) for 40 min resulted in dose-dependent labeling of G(q/11)alpha compared with controls. Cholera toxin (5 microg/ml; activator of G(i)alpha), pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml; inhibitor of G(i)alpha actions) and Antide (50 nM; GnRH antagonist) did not stimulate palmitoylation of G(q/11)alpha above basal levels. However, phorbol myristic acid (100 ng/ml; protein kinase C activator) stimulated the palmitoylation of G(q/11)alpha above basal levels, but not t...Continue Reading
