    Abstract:
    Differentiated human leukemia (HL 60) cells contain high numbers of receptors for the chemotactic factors, N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) and complement component 5a (C5a), both coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins). Agonist activation of either receptor stimulated binding of the GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), to membrane G proteins and by a similar extent in a non-additive manner. The possible interaction of the two receptors was studied by measuring agonist binding to one receptor in the presence of the other receptor agonist. fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a had no effects on [125I]C5a and fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe receptor binding, respectively, when studied in the absence of regulatory ligands. Similarly, the inhibitory effects of NaCl and GDP on agonist receptor binding were not altered in the presence of the other receptor agonist. In contrast, in the presence of the GTP analogs, GTP[S] and guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino] triphosphate, fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a reduced the binding of [125I]C5a and fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe, respectively, in a concentration-dependent manner. The potencies of the GTP analogs to inhibit binding of [125I]C5a and fMet-Leu-[3H]Phe was increased about 3-fold by fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a, respectively. The data presented suggest that fMet-Leu-Phe and C5a receptors share the same G protein pool in membranes of HL 60 cells and that activation of these G proteins by one of the two receptors decreases the availability of G proteins for the other receptor.
