    Notes: —Polyamine metabolism of mouse neuroblastoma cells grown in culture was studied with special reference to the synthesis of GABA from putrescine and putreanine from spermidine. This study shows that neuroblastoma cells in the presence of a complete culture medium containing calf serum readily metabolized [14C]putrescine to GABA; the rate of synthesis is similar to the rate of synthesis of spermidine from putrescine. In the absence of serum the conversion of putrescine to GABA is minimal. In the presence of serum GABA formation is completely inhibited by the diamine oxidase inhibitor aminoguanidine. GABA synthesis does not occur in the absence of cells. The GABA synthesized is not readily metabolized to succinate or homocarnosine. Mouse neuroblastoma cells metabolized [14C]ornithine to putrescine, GABA, and spermidine. Spermidine was metabolized to putrescine, putreanine and spermine.

    Notes: The mobility of purified μ opioid binding protein in SDS-polyacrylamide gek electrophoresis is sensitive to the presence of reducing agents. In the presence of increasing concentrations of DTT the apparent molecular weight increases in a stepwise fashion from 53 kDa to 65 kDa. This reduction in mobility is attributed to the successive breakage of disulfide bridges, resulting in an increasingly asymmetric molecule. Treatment of cell membranes from various brain areas with reducing agents, such as DTT, produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of opioid binding. Sensitivity to DTT inhibition varied between receptor types, μ 〉 δ ≫ κ. For μ receptors, agonist binding was considerably more sensitive to DTT than antagonist binding. Inhibition by DTT is readily reversible and is unaffected by Na+ and/or Mg2+ ions. Reversibility may be partially prevented by the inclusion of a low concentration of a reducing reagent such as glutathione which does not inhibit binding but blocks reformation of disulfide bonds. Scatchard analysis of saturation data shows that DTT causes a pronounced decrease in binding affinity with little effect on receptor number. It is suggested that disulfide bonds are essential for ligand binding and that cleavage of one or more of these bonds may play a role in opioid receptor activation by agonists.
