HA MIP was prepared in acetonitrile-ethylene glycol mixed solvent ( 20:1，v/v), HA was used as the template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethaerylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker. The UV spectrophotometry was used to demonstrate the interaction between HA and MAA. The adsorption characteristics of MIP to HA have been studied by equilibrium binding experiment and Scatchard analysis. The data obtained show that MIP reached equilibrium within 6 h. It is found that within the studied concentration range one HA molecule is entrapped by two MAA molecules The Scatchard chart shows the apparent maximum binding capacity (Bmax) and the dissociation contents (KD) of MIP are 170.5 μmol/g and 0.18 mmol/L, respctively. The MIP synthesized by this method have better binding ability to histamine and can be applied on the separation and detection of histamine.

Combined Use

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for tri-O-acetyladenosine (TOAA), PPM(TOAA), was prepared by the combined use of methacrylic acid (MAA) and Zn(II)tetra(4'-methacryloxyphenoxy) phthalocyanine as functional monomers. This MIP exhibited a higher binding ability for TOAA compared to the MIP prepared using only MAA, PM(TOAA), in batch rebinding tests. Scatchard analysis gave a higher association constant of PPM(TOAA) for TOAA (2.96×104 M−1) than that of PM(TOAA) (1.48×104 M−1). The MIP prepared using only the zinc-phthalocyanine, PP(TOAA), did not show any binding capacity for TOAA. This means that the phthalocyanine in the MIP contributes to higher affinities, although it barely interacts with TOAA. Since selectivity for this kind of MIPs is more important than binding affinity, the binding of TOAA and a structurally related compound, tri-O-acetyluridine (TOAU), on the polymers was investigated. Both PPM(TOAA) and PM(TOAA) exhibited binding affinities for TOAA while they did not show any binding capacity for TOAU.

Although our studies indicate that P2-purinoceptor binding capacity decreases after hemorrhage and resuscitation, it is not known whether ATP-MgCl2 administration after hemorrhage has any beneficial effects on the receptor dynamics. To study this, we performed laparotomy (i.e., trauma induced) on rats and bled them to and maintained them at a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg until 40% of maximum bleedout volume was returned in the form of Ringer lactate (RL). The animals were then resuscitated with 3 times the volume of maximum bleedout with RL over 45 min followed by 2 times RL along with ATP-MgCl2 (50 mumol/kg body wt) over 95 min. Hepatocytes were isolated at 4, 17, and 27 h after resuscitation. P2-purinoceptor binding characteristics were determined by using [alpha-35S]ATP. Scatchard analysis revealed high-affinity and low-affinity receptor components in the hepatocytes isolated from sham-operated or hemorrhaged animals with or without ATP-MgCl2 infusion. ATP-MgCl2 ameliorated and subsequently restored the decreased maximum binding capacity (Bmax) of the high-affinity receptor component and significantly improved Bmax of the low-affinity receptor component. ATP-MgCl2 administration also produced a progressive enhancement in the affinity of the low-affinity receptor component. Thus the beneficial effects of ATP-MgCl2 observed after trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitation may be, in part, due to the restoration of P2-purinoceptor binding capacity and the enhancement of the receptor affinity.

1. The stoicheiometries and affinities of ligand binding to isocitrate dehydrogenase were studied at pH 7.0, mainly by measuring changes in NADPH and protein fluorescence. 2. The affinity of the enzyme for NADPH is about 100-fold greater than it is for NADP+ in various buffer/salt solutions, and the affinities for both coenzymes are decreased by Mg2+, phosphate and increase in ionic strength. 3. The maximum binding capacity of the dimeric enzyme for NADPH, from coenzyme fluorescence and protein-fluorescence measurements, and also for NADP+, by ultrafiltration, is 2 mol/mol of enzyme. Protein-fluorescence titrations of the enzyme with NADP+ are apparently inconsistent with this conclusion, indicating that the increase in protein fluorescence caused by NADP+ binding is not proportional to fractional saturation of the binding sites. 4. Changes in protein fluorescence caused by changes in ionic strength and by the binding of substrates, Mg2+ or NADP+ (but not NADPH) are relatively slow, suggesting conformation changes. 5. In the presence of Mg2+, the enzyme binds isocitrate very strongly, and 2-oxoglutarate rather weakly. 6. Evidence is presented for the formation of an abortive complex of enzyme-Mg2+-isocitrate-NADPH in which isocitrate and NADPH are bound much more weakly than in their complexes with enzyme and Mg2+ alone. 7. The results are discussed in relation to the interpretation of the kinetic properties of the enzyme and its behaviour in the mitochondrion.

SummaryWe characterized the thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptors in porcine coronary artery. The binding of [3H]SQ 29,548, a thromboxane A2 antagonist, to coronary arterial membranes was saturable and displaceable. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding showed a single class of high affinity binding sites with a dissociation constant of 18.5 ±1.0 nM and the maximum binding of 80.7 ± 5.2 fmol/mg protein. [3H]SQ 29,548 binding was concentration-dependently inhibited by thromboxane A2 antagonists such as SQ 29,548, BM13505 and BM13177 or the thromboxane A2 agonists such as U46619 and U44069. KW-3635, a novel dibenzoxepin derivative, concentration-dependently inhibited the [3H]SQ 29,548 binding to thromboxane A2/prosta-glandin H2 receptors in coronary artery with an inhibition constant of 6.0 ± 0.69 nM (mean ± S.E.M.).

The influence of protein content of the diet on the plasma concentrations and binding to skeletal muscle and liver of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), was studied in growing rats. Animals with a starting body-weight of 80 g received for an 11 d period isoenergetic diets containing (g/kg dry matter) 155 protein as controls (MP), or 55 (LP) or 300 (HP) protein. Food was offered as six equal meals/d. Daily food intakes provided adequate amounts of energy. Total plasma IGF-1 increased linearly as a function of dietary protein intake. Plasma insulin was lower in the LP than in the MP and HP groups. Hormone binding was studied in wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA) partially purified skeletal muscle receptor preparations. Each 125I-labelled hormone binding was competed for by increasing amounts of homologous and heterologous unlabelled hormone; this displacement needed lower concentrations of homologous than heterologous hormone. When compared with MP-diet feeding, the LP diet resulted in an increased ligand concentration for half-maximal binding. In addition the specific 125I-labelled insulin and 125I-labelled IGF-1 binding increased at all hormone concentrations and, as revealed by Scatchard analysis, the hormone binding capacity also rose (only significant for low-affinity insulin receptors and high-affinity IGF-1 receptors). The HP diet had little effect on hormone binding, except to increase insulin binding at very low insulin concentrations. Hormone binding was further studied in WGA partially purified liver receptor preparations. Those preparations did not exhibit any detectable specific 125I-labelled IGF-1 binding. The specific 125I-labelled insulin binding was not altered by dietary protein level. It is concluded that the increase in skeletal muscle insulin and IGF-1 binding along with a decrease in insulin and IGF-1 in the blood from rats fed on the LP diet, is consistent with the concept of an inverse relationship between plasma hormone and hormone binding. The physiological significance with respect to metabolic adaptation of muscle remains to be established

This study investigated the effects of a 16-h protocol of heavy intermittent exercise on the intrinsic activity and protein and isoform content of skeletal muscle Na+-K+-ATPase. The protocol consisted of 6 min of exercise performed once per hour at ∼91% peak aerobic power (V̇o2 peak) with tissue sampling from vastus lateralis before (B) and immediately after repetitions 1 (R1), 2 (R2), 9 (R9), and 16 (R16). Eleven untrained volunteers with a V̇o2 peak of 44.3 ± 2.3 ml·kg−1·min−1 participated in the study. Maximal Na+-K+-ATPase activity ( Vmax, in nmol·mg protein−1·h−1) as measured by the 3- O-methylfluorescein K+-stimulated phosphatase assay was reduced ( P < 0.05) by ∼15% with exercise regardless of the number of repetitions performed. In addition, Vmax at R9 and R16 was lower ( P < 0.05) than at R1 and R2. Vanadate-facilitated [3H]ouabain determination of Na+-K+-ATPase content (maximum binding capacity, pmol/g wet wt), although unaltered by exercise, increased ( P < 0.05) 8.3% by R9 with no further increase observed at R16. Assessment of relative changes in isoform abundance measured at B as determined by quantitative immunoblotting showed a 26% increase ( P < 0.05) in the α2-isoform by R2 and a 29% increase in α3 by R9. At R16, β3 was lower ( P < 0.05) than at R2 and R9. No changes were observed in α1, β1, or β2. It is concluded that repeated sessions of heavy exercise, although resulting in increases in the α2- and α3-isoforms and decreases in β3-isoform, also result in depression in maximal catalytic activity.

Abstract. The presence of IGF-I receptors was demonstrated in normal and neoplastic tissues of human thyroid. Binding of [125I]IGF-I to thyroid membranes was dependent on time and temperature of incubation, and maximal binding was achieved at 4°C and 18 h of incubation. [125I] IGF-I binding was dose-dependently displaced by unlabelled IGF-I; half-maximal inhibition occurred at concentrations of 10–20 μg/l. IGF-II and insulin had relative potencies of 5 and 1% compared with IGF-I. Scatchard analysis of binding data revealed a single class of IGF-I receptors with high affinity (Ka: 1.2–8.6 × 109 1/mol) in normal thyroid tissues. Affinity cross-linking and autoradiography demonstrated the type I IGF receptors. Specific binding of [125I] IGF-I in thyroid cancer tissues (9.69 ± 2.07% per 200 μg protein; mean ± sem, N = 8) was significantly (p <0.05) higher than that in the surrounding normal tissues (3.03 ± 0.35%, N = 8). In contrast, there was no difference in the binding between adenoma tissues (4.19 ± 0.53%, N = 5) and the adjacent normal tissues (2.94 ± 0.24%, N = 5). The higher IGF-I binding in cancer tissues was due to an increase in the binding capacity without any change in the affinity. The presence of IGF-I receptors suggests a possible role of IGF-I and its receptors in the growth of thyroid cancer cells.

SUMMARY The specific binding of 125I-labelled human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) by rat testicular homogenate as compared with isolated Leydig cells differs with respect to total binding capacity but not to the dissociation constant (KD) as revealed by Scatchard analysis. The maximal binding capacity for [125I]HCG of crude testicular homogenate was 95 ng/g rat testis. Hypophysectomy causes a decline in binding capacity within the first three days but on the 20th and 30th day after hypophysectomy the relative binding capacity no longer differs from that of controls. Binding capacity is enhanced in cryptorchid testes relative to normal, and increases during sexual maturation to a peak shortly before puberty.

A comparison has been made of the effects of juvenile hormone (JH) on the binding characteristics for ouabain of microsomes prepared from brain and from cells of the follicular epithelium surrounding previtellogenic or vitellogenic oocytes in Rhodnius. JH has no effect on the binding of ouabain to brain microsomes and decreases the Kd, but does not alter the Bmax for previtellogenic follicle cells. For vitellogenic follicle cells, Scatchard analysis reveals a curvilinear relationship, which is interpreted as indicating that a new population of JH-sensitive ouabain-binding sites develops as the follicle cell enters vitellogenesis. These results are related to earlier data obtained on the effect of JH on ATPase activity, volume changes in isolated follicle cells, and the development of spaces between the cells of the follicular epithelium.

Although P2-purinoceptors play an important role in the regulation of liver metabolism under normal conditions, it is not known if trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitation have any effects on such receptors. To study this, we performed a 5-cm midline laparotomy (i.e., trauma induced) on rats and then bled them to and maintained them at a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg until 40% of maximum bleedout volume was returned in the form of Ringer lactate (RL). The animals were then resuscitated with 3x the volume of shed blood with RL over 45 min followed by 2x RL over 95 min. Hepatocytes were isolated at the time of maximum bleedout or at 0, 4, 17, and 27 h after the completion of crystalloid resuscitation. P2-purinoceptor binding characteristics were determined in the isolated hepatocytes by using [alpha-35S]ATP. Scatchard analysis revealed high- and low-affinity components of P2-purinoceptors in hepatocytes from sham-operated as well as hemorrhaged and resuscitated animals. The maximum binding capacity (Bmax) of the high-affinity receptor component decreased at the time of maximum bleedout and at 4, 17, and 27 h after resuscitation. In addition to this, the Bmax of low-affinity receptor components also decreased at 4-27 h after resuscitation. In contrast, the dissociation constants of both receptor components were not altered. Because hemorrhagic shock produces abnormalities in glucose metabolism, the downregulation of hepatocyte P2-purinoceptor Bmax may be responsible for the altered glucose homeostasis under such conditions.
