Abstract

Highly purified human placental insulin receptors were obtained by sequential affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin and insulin-agarose. The preparation had an insulin binding capacity of 4,700 pmol/mg of protein approaching theoretical purity. The purified receptor revealed three major bands of Mr 135,000, 95,000, and 52,000 in NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after reduction by dithiothreitol. All three bands were immunoprecipitated by anti-insulin-receptor antibodies. When this preparation was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of MnCl2 (2 mM) and analyzed in NaDodSO4/acrylamide gel electrophoresis, only the Mr 95,000 band was labeled. Preincubation with several concentrations of insulin increased the 32P incorporation into this peptide in dose-dependent fashion, whereas insulin-like growth factors were approximately equal to 2% as potent and epidermal growth factor had little or no effect, consistent with their known affinities for the insulin receptor. Insulin stimulation of phosphorylation of the Mr 95,000 subunit of the receptor was observed also in immunoprecipitates of this highly purified insulin receptor by anti-insulin-receptor antibodies. Phosphoamino acid determination revealed only phosphotyrosine in both the basal and insulin-stimulated states. These data suggest that a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity is closely associated with insulin receptor, and this may be important in the signal transmission required for insulin action.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
