Recently I posted the questions:
1) In what way is the GRAP databases useful to you?
2) For what purpose(s) do you use the GRAP databases?

Although there is not so much to sum up I have prepared a sort of
summary of what has been received.

The responses were:
a) Look around.
b) Keep track of published mutant data for particular type(s) of
receptor(s), or keeping track of mutant data for GPCRs in general.
c) Get ligand binding data on single point mutants.
d) Use data for receptor modelling and validation.

There were various comments on the data content of the databases.

Thanks to the enormous amount of FOUR persons for giving their
responses to my questions ;-))  !!!

OEyvind.

tinyGRAP release 4.0 is immediately available for consumption.
We have added around 400 mutants bringing the grand total number of
mutants over the 3500 mark. A total number of around 770 mutant
papers is available. We have added the keywords chimeric, deletion
and insertion to the appropriate papers in the database such that
papers dealing with such mutants will be more readily available using
the literature reference search facility.

We have added two new items on the query form:
1) Do mutant searches only in the current database release.
2) Add titles to the list of papers returned from a literature 
   reference search (this has been present for a while but is now 
   'official').

We have shortened the major heading on each page to read "GPCRs, Family A".
We have also reorganized the GRAP database homepage somewhat. The contents
remain ~ the same as before.

The official and non-volatile entry point into the GRAP databases is still
http://www-grap.fagmed.uit.no/GRAP/homepage.html.

A few weeks ago I told you I would investigate some of those
stupid messages send to us about available porno pictures etc.
The last four weeks I have investigated the origin of every such
message. The score is that one stolen account got closed in
Kroatia, and three users got expelled by their internet provider.
Two messages where hidden too cleverly to find out where they came from,
and one provider (earthlink.net) refuses to respond to my questions.

As the amount of work to chase those email culprits is not overwhelming,
I will keep doing it for a while. So, just delete the messages that
obviously should never have been sent, knowing that there is about 50%
chance that the sender will be punished. Alternatively, you can move
from the mailing list to using the news group.

(Ps. If you want to respond, respond to me, and not to the list. If relevant
topics are brought up, I will post a summary of the reactions).

This BIOSCI "miniFAQ" is designed to answer the questions that come up
the *most frequently*.  The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL
http://www.bio.net/.

If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other
documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail
queries sent to

		       biosci-help@net.bio.net

We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and
mailing lists.  We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet
information searches or answer scientific questions.  Please post
those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.

0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!
------------------------------
BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now
operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our
Web site at http://www.bio.net/.  We need just a few minutes of your
time to help us serve you.

You can do two important things which will take very little time for
you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you.

First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the
archives.  You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as
described in item #1 below.  Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you
contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for
supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if
they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term.

Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides
products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass
this message on to your marketing or marketing communications
department or other appropriate group.  Please ask them to help
support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and
benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are
interested, they can then contact us for further information at our
tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net.


1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.
--------------------------------------------------------
As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are
accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net.
One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings
and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured
properly to send e-mail.  Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS
index.  The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS
Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address
database described in another item further below.


2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------
BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups),
mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/.
The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small
number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net).  Unfortunately it
is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out
to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of
newsgroups and mailing lists.  These attempts to grab free advertising
are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net
terminology.  USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many
spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the
mailing lists.  However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses
and hit these too, so neither medium is immune.

What should you do personally if you get junk mail?
---------------------------------------------------
Just delete it and move on without reading it further.  Filing a
protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often
disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from.  Unless you
really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by
sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the
address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing.

What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups?
----------------------------------------------------
The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup.
If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape.
Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the
spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists
completely.  Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the
time to review each message before it goes out.  We have set up
software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an
address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed.
This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass
it on, say about 1 min. per message.

Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible
for their newsgroup.  The discussions leaders and their e-mail
addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is
available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  If a newsgroup is being
hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader
for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group.
Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the
newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your
complaint.  With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has
to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems
directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net.

We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells
us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator
is willing to do the work.  For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this
entails only a few minutes of work each day.

Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings
on the USENET distribution.  Unfortunately there are easy ways for
determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET,
but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if
the newsgroup is moderated.  You can also access our newsgroups over
the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net.  While this Web interface will not
stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you
yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of
your personal mail files.  For those of you with local USENET news
systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new
newsgroups and recent postings.


3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on
subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the
newsgroups and mailing lists.  People who do this only bother everyone
on the lists to no avail.  Please be sure to follow the proper
procedures below.

Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at
http://www.bio.net.  Below we give an example utilizing the
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites:

Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI
------------------------------------------------------------------
node at computer net.bio.net:
----------------------------

A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   for the group.  These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet.  For
   the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is
   methods@net.bio.net.  The listname is the portion of the address to
   the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods".  The listname is used with
   the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below.

B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to
   biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup
   posting addresses!  Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it
   will be ignored.

C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following
   commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g.,

   subscribe methods
   unsubscribe methods
   end

   Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines.  The
   server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address
   on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list.
   Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has
   changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells
   you that you are not a member.


Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at
--------------------------------------------------------------------
computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk):
-------------------------------------------------

To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to
specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended.
The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet
on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list
the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the
appropriate commands are

    sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

    unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk,
NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses.  As usual, include the text in
the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored.

To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use

    unsub bionet-news

Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one
in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by
this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk.


4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research
interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have
not already done so.

You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL
http://www.bio.net/adrform.html.

The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is
http://www.bio.net/).  If you are not directly on the Internet but can
reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user
directory.  waismail use is described above.  You can also request a
user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net.

Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your
address information is still up-to-date.  Because of our limited
personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to
revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have
resources to edit old forms.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
				BIOSCI/bionet Manager

We have always used TCA, which works fine if your protein is not
acid-labile. So, add TCA to 5 or 10%, incubate on ice for 15 min., spin in
a microfuge for 15 min., either wash the pellet with ice cold acetone or
resuspend in SDS sample buffer with bromphenyl blue.  Without the acetone
step, the bromophenyl blue will turn green.  So, before loading, I usually
add a ul or 2 or 1 NaOH untile it turns blue again.  Heat and load.

We are becoming increasingly interested in utilizing non-radioactive
methods for detection of receptor-ligand interactions. The overall goal
is to reduce radioligand usage. We are familiar with a few: eg,
time-resolved fluorescence, homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence,
fluoresence polarization, and reporter systems.
 If anyone is familiar with or has experience with other methods please
post. We are not restricted to fluorescence.

Thanks,
Rich Cox

I always use 3 vol MeOH, 1 vol CHCl3 and 4 vol water (mixing between
each addition), spin in a microfuge for 60 seconds or so, remove the top
layer (protein is at the interface), add a further 3 vol MeOH, spin for
2 mins and air dry your protein pellet. It's the method of Wessel &
Flugge (1984) Anal. Biochem. 138; pp 141-143. They say you can
precipitate down to 40 micro g protein quantitatively from all sorts of
solutions including detergents. I've precipitated down to 20-30
microgrames using this technique for westerns and it works fine. I've
also recovered small amounts of protein (say 50-100 micrograms) from up
to 1ml of solution. Just remember to mix well between each addition in
the initial stages, and that your methanol and chlorofom  are of the
highest quality you can get.

Hope it helps

Dear Richard,

in our lab, we have compared several methods for precipitating small amounts
of protein. We achieved the best results with methanol and chloroform. You
add 4 volumes methanol and 1 volume chloroform to your probe, than add 3
volumes water. Spin for 30 min at 4=B0C and 15,000g. Discard the supernatant
carefully, the proteins are in a white interphase. Add 3 volumes methanol
and mix. Spin again. Discard the supernatant, dry the pellet on air and
resolve the proteins with SDS sample buffer.

Good luke, Peter

Does anyone know if there are programs to analyze receptor binding that
is more than two sites?  Any wild-type or mutant G protein-linked
receptors have been fit to 3-4 affinity sites in the literature? 

All suggetions are appreciated.

I've been trying to blot the two froms of Raf (74 and 74.5 kDa) with no 
appreciable success.  Does anyone have any suggestion on how to proceed?  Are 
there "special" SDS-PAGE recipes for this purpose?

All inputs are greatfully appreciated.

Interestingly, the peptide hormone angiotensin II promotes the 
endocytosis of the type 1 (AT1) angiotensin receptor but not the type 
2 angiotensin (AT2) receptor.  

We have generated chimeric AT2/AT1 receptors where the 
carboxyl-terminus and 3rd intracellular loop of the 
internalizing AT1 receptor (these regions have been shown to be 
important for endocytosis) were substituted into the AT2 receptor.  
These modified AT2 receptors also failed to internalize following 
angiotensin II stimulation suggesting that additional determinants 
are required.

People have also noted the robust internalization of AT1 receptors 
following binding of a peptide antagonist of angiotensin II (namely 
Sar1-Ile8-angiotensin II).  Does anyone know of other examples were 
antagonists have been shown to cause internalization of GPCRs?

All the best,

At least one of the somatostatin receptor subtypes does not internalize
ligand rapidly.

We recently demontrated this for 5-HT2A receptors (Mol Pharmacol, 1996); its 
also been shown for beta2-adrenergic receptors, thrombin receptors, 
substance P receptors, muscarinic receptors, angiotensin and opiate 
receptors.  So I guess its common enough.

Is anyone aware of an instance in which internalization following agonist 
exposure does not occur?

Many folks have sent me examples of non-internalizing 7TM receptors. I'll 
summarize the info next week for all members of this list.

Thanks!

It is known, yes. It is also (fairly) common. It proceeds at least for
some receptor types in some cells through phosphorylation of the
receptor, binding to beta-arrestin, interaction of the beta-arrestin
with clathrin and internalization via clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs).

In other cell lines or with other receptors, clathrin does not seem
to be involved (assessed by the effects of a dominant-negative dynamin
mutant which blocks internalization via CCVs).

There are also GPCRs which are resistant to internalization.

Dear Netters,

Does anybody know any synonyms for beta chemokine CXCR-3 receptor? Or
where can I retrieve its sequence (any specie). I failed to find its
sequence using the name "CXCR-3" (or chemokine receptor) in several
sequence databases (SwissProt, EMBL, etc). 

Thank you very much beforehand for your help.

With best wishes,

Gennady

Just try the accession No. U29677. I hope it matches.

We are working about signalling pathways in motile cells that are not
accessible for electrophysiological and other single cell-based
tecniques. Therfore my questions:

Is it possible to integrate 7TMD-receptor-containing membranes into
living cells by microinjecton or other tecniques? Has anybody practical
experience with such a system? Is the Xenopus oocyte suitable to inject
membrane fragments or solubilized membrane proteins that reintegrate
into the membranes in a functional manner?

Many thanks in advance, Michael Schaefer.
