Correlations in palmitoylation and multiple phosphorylation of rat bradykinin B2 receptor in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
1999
Rat bradykinin B2 receptor from unstimulated Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with the corresponding cDNA has been isolated, and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis of multiple phosphorylated species and of the palmitoylation attachment site is described. Bradykinin B2 receptor was isolated on oligo(dT)-cellulose using N-(epsilon-maleimidocaproyloxy)succinimide-Met-Lys-bradykinin coupled to a protected (dA)30-mer. This allowed a one-step isolation of the receptor on an oligo(dT)-cellulose column via variation solely of salt concentration. After enzymatic in-gel digestion, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization and electrospray ion trap mass spectrometric analysis of the isola…
Isolation of the Endothelin B Receptor from Bovine Lung Structure, Signal Sequence, and Binding Site
1995
Bovine lung endothelin-B receptor has been isolated in good yield with a new procedure involving the use of endothelin-1 coupled to iminobiotin with a long spacer and avidin-agarose affinity chromatography. Contrary to previous reports, evidence has been obtained that the native form of this receptor corresponds to the full-length transcript expected on the basis of cDNA clones. The binding of endothelin to a variety of shortened fragments of the full receptor suggests that the long N-terminal sequence of this receptor has very little influence on the binding of endothelin and that the main determinants of the endothelin binding site might be constituted by residues in the sixth, and possib…
Synthesis and radiosynthesis of N5-[18F]fluoroethyl-Pirenzepine and its metabolite N5-[18F]fluoroethyl-LS 75
2009
The well established M1 selective muscarinergic antagonist Pirenzepine 11-[2-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-acetyl]-5,11-dihydro-benzo[e]pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (1) exhibits an unusual behaviour in vivo, which cannot be explained with M1 antagonism exclusively. One of the aspects discussed is a specific interaction with poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP-1). 1 undergoes metabolism to form LS 75 5,11-dihydro-benzo[e]pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]diazepin-6-one (2). In order to study deviations in Pirenzepine efficacy from pure M1 binding in vivo using PET, appropriate positron emitter labelled analogues of 1 and 2 were synthesised. Non-radioactive reference compounds 3 and 4 were tested for PARP-1 inh…
