Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C), an intestinal receptor guanylyl cyclase, binds diarrhea-producing bacterial ligands such as the Escherichia coli heat stable enterotoxin. We examined the regulatory influence of feeding and fasting on the expression, structure, and biochemical properties of GC-C. When solubilized at 4 degrees C under nonreducing conditions, GC-C from both fed and fasted rats migrated on 7% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoretic gels as two extremely large aggregates that barely penetrated the stacking and resolving gels. Chemical reduction of disulfide linkages disaggregated GC-C in fed but not fasted rat samples, causing it to migrate as smaller forms (approximately 220 and 240 kDa). Although GC-C aggregates from fasted rats resisted this disaggregating effect of chemical reduction, they rapidly acquired it within 90 min of refeeding. When solubilized at denaturing temperatures (95 degrees C) under reducing conditions, GC-C aggregates largely disassembled into four smaller proteins (relative molecular weight approximately 140,000, 131,000, 85,000, and 65,000). However, the 131-kDa glycoprotein was disproportionately increased in fasted rat membranes. This unit and the 220-kDa unit were sensitive to endoglycosidase H. Subcellular fractionation and immunohistochemical studies revealed a major redistribution of GC-C from surface to intracellular enterocyte sites during fasting.
