The final step in a scheme for the purification of the guanine nucleotide- and Mg2+-binding stimulatory regulatory component (Ns) of adenylyl cyclase [adenylate cyclase; ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] from human erythrocyte membranes involves chromatography over hydroxylapatite (HAP) which yields 2 fractions. The 1st fraction (HAP I) contains predominantly 2 peptides that, upon sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, migrate with MW values of 39,000 and 35,000. The 2nd fraction (HAP II) contains predominantly Ns formed of 2 peptides of MW 42,000 and 35,000. The HAP I, MW 39,000 peptide is shown to be a substrate for the ADP-ribosylating toxin of Bordetella pertussis (pertussis toxin). Upon sucrose density gradient centrifugation, both the MW 39,000 and the MW 35,000 peptides of HAP I migrate at .apprx. 4 S. Treatment of HAP I with guanine nucleotide and Mg2+ prior to centrifugation results in a coordinated change in the migration of both peptides to 2 S. It is postulated that HAP I contains an .alpha..beta. heterodimeric protein composed of an .alpha. subunit of MW 39,000 and a .beta. subunit of MW 35,000. This protein dissociates under the influence of guanine nucleotides and Mg2+ into its individual .alpha. and .beta. subunits. Because previous studies have shown that treatment of cells and cell membranes with pertussis toxin results in attenuation of the effects of hormones that inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity, and because this effect correlates with the ADP-ribosylation of a MW 40,000 peptide. A guanine nucleotide- and Mg2+-binding inhibitiory regulatory component of adenylyl cyclases i.e., the Ni, is thought to have been purified.
