Abstract
The problems to treat diabetes melltius are not solved yet. The hormone GLP-1(7-36)amid is a promissing candidate for the pharmacological treatment of diabetes mellitus. It has a lot of positive qualities and very little side effects compared to other antidiabetic medications. It does not lead to hypoglycemia. But it has a very short halflife and its intestinal absorbtion rate is poor. Therefore it is important to evaluate the structure-reactivity relation of GLP-1 and its receptor to be able to develope analogas usable for therapy.
For this evaluation 2 rezeptor chimera and 2 hormon chimera were constructed: [I197]-GLP-1 receptor and [K195]glucagon receptor in which the the lysin at position 197 of the GLP-1 receptor was switched with the isoleucin at position 195 of the glucagon receptor, and [Q9]-GLP-1 and [E3]-glucagon in which the glutamin acid and glutamin at position 3 of the two hormones were switched.
With these chimera and the wildtyp receptors and hormones binding assays and cAMP assays were done to evaluate the structure-reactivity relation between them. These experiments showed that the carboxy-element of the glutamin acid at position 3 of GLP-1 is essentiell for GLP-1 receptor coupled cellactivation. It was demonstrated that isoleucin at positon 195 of the glucagon receptor is also important for glucagon receptor coupled cellactivation. Glutamin at position 3 of glucagon is not essentiell for intracellualar cAMP production and does not interact specifically with isoleucin at position 195 of the glucagon receptor.
