The Hepatic Glucagon Receptor: A Comparative Study of the Regulatory and Structural Properties
1987
Guanine nucleotide and Mg2+ ion regulation of [125I-Tyr10]monoiodoglucagon ([125I]MIG) binding to liver plasma membranes from chicken, rat, and rabbit was studied. It was found that [125I]MIG binding to chicken liver membranes was increased by the addition of Mg2+ ion, while binding to rat and rabbit liver membranes was unaffected. In the chicken liver membranes, the Mg2+ ion induced high affinity binding which was sensitive to guanine nucleotides, while the low affinity binding in the absence of Mg2+ ion was not. Maximal effects of Mg2+ ion were observed at 1 mM. Glucagon binding to rat liver membrane receptors was GTP sensitive regardless of whether Mg2+ ion was added. Glucagon binding to rabbit liver membranes was insensitive to both Mg2+ ions and GTP. This lack of GTP effect was not due to degradation of GTP; no effect of the nonhydrolyzable analog guanyl-5′-yl-imidodiphosphate was observable. Glucagon stimulation of rabbit liver adenylyl cyclase, however, was dependent on GTP, as was the case with al...
