Nucleotide regulation of vasoactive intestinal peptide binding to bovine thyroid plasma membranes

Biosci Rep. 1990 Dec;10(6):519-25. doi: 10.1007/BF01116612.

Abstract

The specific binding of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to bovine thyroid plasma membranes is inhibited by guanine nucleotides. Guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) and the non-hydrolyzable GTP analogs guanosine 5'-beta,gamma-imidotriphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S) inhibited markedly the binding of VIP to its receptors. This inhibition was higher with GTP than with Gpp(NH)p and GTP-gamma-S and was due to an increase of the rate of dissociation of peptide bound to membranes. Other nucleotides did not show any effect.
