[Abstract] The migration of membrane receptors upon exposure to different stimulants/inhibitors is of great importance. Among others, the internalization of membrane receptors affects their accessibility to ligands and cell responsiveness to environmental cues. Experimentally, receptor internalization can be used as a measure of their activation. In our studies, we employed this approach to explore cross-talk between a seven transmembrane domain receptor for neuropeptide Y (NPY), Y5R, and a tyrosine kinase receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), TrkB. To this end, we measured the internalization of Y5R upon stimulation with the TrkB ligand, BDNF. Upon treatment with BDNF, the cells were exposed to a membrane impermeable, biotinylation reagent that selectively labels surface proteins. ...
[摘要] 膜受体在暴露于不同的刺激剂/抑制剂时的迁移是非常重要的。其中，膜受体的内化影响其对配体的可及性和对环境线索的细胞应答性。在实验上，受体内化可用作其活化的量度。在我们的研究中，我们采用这种方法来探讨神经肽Y（NPY）的七个跨膜结构域受体，Y5R和脑源性神经营养因子（BDNF），TrkB的酪氨酸激酶受体之间的串扰。为此，我们测量了用TrkB配体BDNF刺激后Y5R的内化。在用BDNF处理后，将细胞暴露于选择性标记表面蛋白的不透膜的生物素化试剂。随后，生物素化的膜蛋白在具有抗生物素蛋白树脂的柱上亲和纯化，并通过蛋白质印迹分析。存在于对照和配体处理的细胞的细胞表面上的受体部分的差异用作其内化和对特定刺激的反应的量度。
