FIGURE 2.11 Receptor-occupancy curves for activation of human calcitonin type 2 receptors by the agonist human calcitonin. Ordinates (response as a fraction of the maximal response to human calcitonin). Abscissae (fractional receptor occupancy by human calcitonin). Curves shown for receptors transfected into three cell types human embryonic kidney cells (HEK), Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), and Xenopus laevis melanophores. It can be seen that the different cell types lead to differing amplification factors for the conversion from agonist receptor occupancy to tissue response.

Results of methyl parathion assays involving effects on chromosomes have also been contradictory. For sister chromatid exchange, Waters et al. (1982) reported a positive response in Chinese hamster ovary cells only in the presence of metabolic activation system, while methyl parathion tested positive without a metabolic activation system in Chinese hamster V79 cells (Chen et al. 1981), cultured normal human lymphoid cells (Chen et al. 1981 Gomez-Arroyo et al. 1987 Sobti et al. 1982), and Burkitt s l5miphoma cells (Chen et al. 1981). Chen et al. (1981) found a significant dose-related increase in sister chromatid exchange in both hamster and human cultured cells, but dose-related cell cycle delays were less pronounced in human cell lines than in V79 cells. Negative results were obtained for chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes without a metabolic activation system (Kumar et al. 1993).

The equivalent of the tryptic fragment of human transferrin receptor has been expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and its structure determined at a resolution of 0.32 nm (Lawrence et ah, 1999). The asymmetric unit of the crystals contains four transferrin receptor dimers. Interpretable electron density is found for the entire tryptic fragment except for Arg-121 at the amino terminus, and density is also seen for the first N-acetylglucosamine residue at each of the N-glycosylation sites. The transferrin receptor monomer is made up of three distinct domains, organized such that the dimer is butterfly shaped (Figure 5.10, Plate 7). The likely orientation of the dimer with respect to the plasma membrane has been assigned on the basis of the...

Protein-protein interactions between heterodimeric protein pairs that form only transient interactions can be detected, y-secre-tase is presenilin-1 (PS1) dependent [51-53]. PS1 is a 467-amino acid, 9-transmembrane domain protein. Over 100 documented single point mutations are known to cause autosomal-dominant familial AD (FAD) [54], in which the ratio of the more fibrilogenic variety of A ft (A/142) to the less fibrilogenic variety (A/140) is increased. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were stably transfected with human APP and either wild type or mutant PS1 [4, 55].

An interesting example of DNA damage by superoxide and hydrogen peroxide produced by microbes has been recently described by Huycke et al. [49]. These authors have showed that reactive oxygen species produced by Enterococcus faecalis, a microorganism of the human intestinal tract, oxidized DNA in Chinese hamster ovary and intestinal epithelial cells. 

Many of the initial biopharmaceuticals approved were simple replacement proteins (e.g. blood factors and human insulin). The ability to alter the amino acid sequence of a protein logically coupled to an increased understanding of the relationship between protein structure and function (Chapters 2 and 3) has facilitated the more recent introduction of several engineered therapeutic proteins (Table 1.3). Thus far, the vast majority of approved recombinant proteins have been produced in the bacterium E. coli, the yeast S. cerevisiae or in animal cell lines (most notably Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells or baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. These production systems are discussed in Chapter 5.
