Recent studies have shown that osteogenic protein (OP)-1 or bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 increases proliferation and differentiation of human bone cells (HBCs) in culture and modulates production of IGF system components. In order to study the mechanism by which OP-1 causes these effects, we sought to test the hypothesis that the effects of OP-1 are mediated at least in part by specific receptors (for OP-1) in HBCs. Binding studies with serum-free cultures of normal HBCs and human osteosarcoma cells showed a maximum binding of 15-25% for [125I]OP-1; the binding was time- and temperature-dependent in different experiments. Scatchard analysis of [125]OP-1 binding to TE85 human osteosarcoma cells showed at least two binding sites, about 30,000 and 60,000 per cell with apparent Kd of 2.5 x 10(-10)M and 1 x 10(-9)M, respectively. [125]OP-1 binding to TE85 cells was displaced by unlabeled OP-1 (16-1000 ng/ml), with a 50% displacement at 250 ng/ml. BMP-2 effectively displaced [125]OP-1 binding to HBCs while TGF-beta 1 did not. Affinity cross-linking studies showed that [125]OP-1 interacted specifically with three binding sites with apparent M(r) of 34, 65 and > 205kDa. The findings of this study demonstrate that the effects of OP-1 on HBCs may be mediated in part via BMP-specific receptors.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011485	Protein Binding	The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.	Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011506	Proteins	Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D011956	Receptors, Cell Surface	Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
