The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) acts primarily on receptors that increase chloride permeability in postsynaptic neurons. These receptors are defined by sensitivity to the agonist muscimol and the antagonist bicuculline, and are also subject to indirect allosteric inhibition by picrotoxin-like convulsants and enhancement by the clinically important drugs, the benzodiazepines and the barbiturates. All of these drugs modulate GABA-receptor regulated chloride channels at the cellular level assayed by electrophysiological or radioactive ion tracer techniques. Specific receptor sites for GABA, benzodiazepines, picrotoxin/convulsants, and barbiturates can be assayed in vitro by radioactive ligand binding. Mutual chloride-dependent allosteric interactions between the four receptor sites indicate that they are all coupled in the same membrane macromolecular complex. Indirect effects of barbiturates on the other three binding sites define a pharmacologically specific, stereospecific receptor. All of the activities can be solubilized in the mild detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]propane sulfonate (CHAPS) and co-purify as a single protein complex. 相似文献

Large scale preparation and characterization of membrane-bound and detergent-solubilized muscarinic acetylcholine receptor from pig atria 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAcChR) has been prepared from pig atrial membranes by new large scale procedures which result in 30-40 fold enrichment of the receptor in the membrane-bound state and a further three fold enrichment during solubilization. The membrane-bound receptor was prepared by differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation in 25 mM imidazole, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4. A double extraction procedure using a mixed digitonin/cholate detergent was used to solubilize the receptor at a 60-70% yield. The membrane and solubilized preparations had specific activities of 3.5-5 and 8-12 pmol [3H]L-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding sites per mg of protein, respectively. The presence of imidazole, which behaved as a weak muscarinic ligand, stabilized the receptor during solubilization and storage. Both the membrane-bound and detergent-solubilized mAcChR bound antagonists at a single class of sites and agonists at two subclasses of QNB sites. The proportion of high affinity agonist sites in the solubilized receptor was about 1/3 that in the membrane receptor. [3H]Propylbenzilylcholine mustard covalently labeled a single prominent atropine-sensitive component with an apparent molecular weight of 70-74,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide gels for both the membrane and solubilized receptor. 相似文献

Solubilization of rat brain alpha 1-adrenoceptors was performed by treatment with 6 mM CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio] - 1 - propanesulfonate). The alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist [3H]prazosin was shown to bind reversibly and specifically to the soluble extract obtained after centrifugation at 150,000 X g for 1 h. Separation of the soluble [3H]prazosin-bound complexes was performed by the polyethylene glycol precipitation technique followed by filtration. A Scatchard plot of the concentration-dependent binding curve showed only one class of binding sites, with a high affinity for [3H]prazosin. Affinity of the solubilized receptors for the ligand increased as the CHAPS concentration in the assay medium decreased; the number of binding sites remained unchanged (approximately equal to 70 fmol/mg protein). This corresponds to a 30% recovery of original membrane sites. The solubilized receptors presented the same characteristics of specificity and stereospecificity as membrane alpha 1-adrenoceptors. Moreover, 150 mM NaCl was found to modulate the affinity of epinephrine for the [3H]prazosin-bound soluble complex, as previously described for membrane preparations. Thus, CHAPS appears to be a suitable detergent for solubilizing rat brain alpha 1-adrenoceptors and preserving their functional activities. 相似文献

ATPalphaS was established as a P2Y receptor-specific ligand for assaying the solubilization of functional native P2Y receptors from synaptosomal membranes. These receptors are not yet amenable to biochemical studies. High-affinity [35S]ATPalphaS binding sites in synaptosomal membranes, solubilized with Brij58, retained the binding affinity and ligand specificity (ATPalphaS = ATP > 2-MeSATP > ADP, ADPbetaS > AMP > alpha,beta-MeATP) corresponding to P2Y receptors. Mg2+ but not Ca2+, enhanced high-affinity [35S]ATPalphaS binding 30-fold, supporting specific recognition by P2Y receptors. ATPalphaS stimulated P2Y receptor-mediated [35S]GTPgammaS binding equipotently with ATP in synaptosomal membranes and in Brij58-solubilized proteins demonstrating the association with G-proteins. Anion-exchange chromatography of solubilized synaptosomal membrane proteins yielded two fractions in which [35S]ATPalphaS binding was regulated by GTPgammaS/Mg2+, thus possibly by heterotrimeric G-proteins. After a second chromatographic step (hydroxyapatite) the regulation of high-affinity [35S]ATPalphaS binding by Mg2+ was still present, whereas the regulation by GTPgammaS/Mg2+ was lost indicating the dissociation from G-proteins. Thus, conditions were found to stabilize ligand binding activity of solubilized P2Y receptors and to solubilize P2Y receptors associated with G-proteins. 相似文献

Prostacyclin (PGI2) receptors have been identified on platelets and other tissues but their physicochemical properties remain unknown due to difficulties in obtaining active solubilized receptors. We evaluated the ability of several detergents to release the receptors from platelet membrane preparations. In contrast to the results of Dutta-Roy and Sinha (Dutta-Roy, A. K., and Sinha, A. K. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 12685-12691) which revealed selective solubilization of PGE1/PGI2 receptors by 0.05% Triton X-100, we found that CHAPS (3-[(3-chlamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid) (10 mM) was far superior in releasing the PGI2 receptors. In fact, Triton X-100 failed to release detectable PGI2 binding activity into the supernatant. The CHAPS-solubilized receptor degraded rapidly unless 30% glycerol was added which greatly enhanced its stability. By employing an improved binding assay using [3H]iloprost as the ligand and selective membrane filters (AP-15 or GF/B) pretreated with polyethyleneimine for achieving a higher trapping efficiency, we showed by equilibrium binding measurements that the solubilized receptors exhibited a single class of binding sites with a KD of 18.5 nM and Bmax 0.5 pmol/mg. These values were similar to those of the membrane receptors, i.e. KD of 16.6 nM and Bmax 1.0 pmol/mg. Kinetic binding measurements of the solubilized receptors revealed an association rate constant of 0.51 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 and dissociation rate constant of 0.0041 s-1 yielding a calculated KD of 8.0 nM. Displacement of [3H]iloprost (Ki values) from the solubilized and the membrane receptors by diversified eicosanoids was parallel. Our data demonstrate for the first time a successful solubilization of platelet PGI2 receptors. The solubilized receptors retained almost identical binding characteristics as the native membrane receptors. 相似文献

The high-affinity binding site for [3H] diazepam has been solubilized from rat brain using 0.5% Lubrol-PX. Using a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-γ-globulin assay, it has been possible to demonstrate solubilization of about 60% of the binding sites in a single step. The solubilized binding site possesses a KD of 11 nM for [3H] diazepam compared to approximately 4 nM for the membrane-bound form, and binding is to a single class of sites. The order of potency of benzodiazepines is identical for the solubilized receptor and the membrane-bound form. Binding of [3H] diazepam is temperature dependent and higher at 4° than 37°C. Both urea and guanidine-HC1 were capable of totally inhibiting binding, and this inhibition was partly reversible; neither sulfhydryl groups nor carbohydrate moieties seem to be important for binding. γ-Aminobutyric acid which enhanced [3H] diazepam binding to membrane fractions was without effect on the solubilized binding site. 相似文献

The binding of [3H]kainate to goldfish brain membrane fragments was investigated. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of binding sites in Tris-HCl buffer with a Kd of 352 nM and a Bmax of 3.1 pmol/mg wet weight. In Ringer's saline, [3H]kainate bound with a Bmax of 1.8 pmol/mg wet weight and a Kd of 214 nM. Binding in Ringer's saline, but not Tris-HCl buffer, displayed positive cooperativity with a Hill coefficient of 1.15. The [3H]kainate binding sites were solubilized in Ringer's saline using the nonionic detergent n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. Approximately 30-50% of the total number of membrane-bound binding sites were recovered on solubilization. The Kd of [3H]kainate for solubilized binding sites was approximately 200 nM. The rank order of potency for glutamatergic ligands at inhibiting [3H]kainate binding was identical and the competitive ligands had similar Ki values in both membranes and solubilized extracts. In membrane preparations, [3H]kainate displayed a two component off-rate with koff values of 0.97 min-1 and 0.07 min-1; in solubilized extracts, however, only a single off-rate (koff = 0.52 min-1) was observed. The hydrodynamic properties of n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside solubilized [3H]kainate binding sites was investigated by sucrose density centrifugation. A single well defined peak was detected which yielded a sedimentation coefficient of 8.3 S. The results presented in this report suggest that goldfish brain may provide an ideal system in which to study kainate receptor biochemistry. 相似文献

The gonadotropin receptors associated with plasma membrane fractions were solubilized by detergents, including Triton X-100, Lubrol WX, Lubrol PX and sodium deoxycholate before and after equilibration with 125I-labelled human chorionic gonadotropin. The binding activity remained in solution even after centrifugation at 300 000 × g for 3 h. The solubilized gonadotropin receptor or gonadotropin receptor complex was characterized by gel filtration and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of solubilized gonadotropin-receptor complex in the presence of Triton X-100 had a sedimentation coefficient of 6.5 S whereas the solubilized uncomplexed receptor had a sedimentation coefficient of 5.1 S. In the absence of the detergent, solubilized hormone receptor complex from plasma membrane fractions I and II sedimented with a apparent sedimentation coefficient of 6.6 S and 7.4 S, respectively. Similary, the free receptor also showed higher sedimentation profile with a apparent sedimentation coefficient of 6.7 S for fraction I and 7.2 S for fraction II. Treatment of plasma membranes with phospholipase A and C inhibited the binding of 125I-labelled human chorionic gonadotropin in a dose dependent manner, whereas phospholipase D was without any effect. Doses of 1.4 mI.U. of phospholipase A or 0.6 mI.U. of phospholipase C were required to produce 50% inhibition of the binding activity. These phospholipases had no effect on the performed 125I-labelled human chorionic gonadotropin-receptor complex nor on the sedimentation profile of solubilized gonadotropin receptor complex. 相似文献

The A1 adenosine receptor. Solubilization and characterization of a guanine nucleotide-sensitive form of the receptor 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Adenosine acting through membrane-bound A1 receptors is capable of inhibiting the enzyme adenylate cyclase. A1 adenosine receptors from rat cerebral cortex have been solubilized in high yield and in an active form with the detergent digitonin. The solubilized receptors bind the agonist radioligand (-)-N6-3-[125I] iodo-4-hydroxyphenylisopropyl)adenosine (HPIA) with the same high affinity, demonstrate the same agonist and antagonist potency series and stereo-specificity as the membrane-bound A1 receptor. In addition to maintaining high affinity agonist binding, soluble A1 receptors' affinity for agonists is still modulated by guanine nucleotides. This result contrasts with other adenylate cyclase coupled receptors (beta 2, alpha 2, D2) wherein high affinity agonist binding is lost subsequent to solubilization. To investigate the molecular basis for this difference, solubilized A1 receptors which were labeled with [125I]HPIA either prior to or subsequent to solubilization, were compared by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Both labeled species demonstrated exactly the same sedimentation properties and display guanine nucleotide sensitivity. This suggests that the same guanine nucleotide-sensitive receptor complex formed in membranes in stable to solubilization and can form a high affinity agonist complex in soluble preparation. The molecular mechanism responsible for the stable receptor complex in this system compared to the beta 2, alpha 2, and D2 systems remains to be determined. 相似文献

Solubilization of Rat Brain Phencyclidine Receptors in an Active Binding Form That Is Sensitive to N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Ligands 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
Phencyclidine (PCP) receptors were successfully solubilized from rat forebrain membranes with 1% sodium cholate. Approximately 58% of the initial protein and 20-30% of the high-affinity PCP binding sites were solubilized. The high affinity toward PCP-like drugs, the stereo-selectivity of the sites, and the sensitivity to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor ligands were preserved. Binding of the potent PCP receptor ligand N-[3H][1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl] piperidine ([3H]TCP) to the soluble receptors was saturable (KD = 35 nM), and PCP-like drugs inhibited [3H]TCP binding in a rank order of potency close to that observed for the membrane-bound receptors; the most potent inhibitors were TCP (Ki = 31 nM) and the anticonvulsant MK-801 (Ki = 50 nM). The NMDA receptor antagonist 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid inhibited binding of [3H]TCP to the soluble receptors; glutamate or NMDA diminished this inhibition in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, the results indicate that the soluble PCP receptor preparation contains the glutamate recognition sites and may represent a single receptor complex for PCP and NMDA, as suggested by electrophysiological data. The successful solubilization of the PCP receptors in an active binding form should now facilitate their purification. 相似文献

A radioimmunoassay for human epidermal growth factor receptor 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The development of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the human epidermal growth factor receptor solubilized with nonionic detergents which employs iodinated epidermal growth factor (125I-EGF) as the specific ligand is described. A monoclonal antibody (R1) that binds specifically to human EGF receptors [Waterfield, M. D., et al. (1982) J. Cell Biochem. 20, 149-161] was used to separate solubilized receptors saturated with 125I-EGF from free ligand by absorption to protein A-Sepharose, and the bound radioactivity was determined. The RIA was linear when increasing amounts of solubilized membrane protein were added and, when compared to the standard polyethylene glycol assay, was more reproducible. In addition, the background nonspecific binding obtained in the presence of a hundred-fold excess of unlabeled EGF was less in the RIA. Substitution of normal mouse serum for the monoclonal antibody gave very low nonspecific background ligand binding and avoided the use of large amounts of unlabeled EGF in the assay. Two major classes of binding sites for EGF were observed in membrane preparations from the cervical carcinoma cell line A431 or from normal human placental tissue. These were present in approximately equal amounts, with apparent dissociation constants of 4 X 10(-10) and 4 X 10(-9) M. Upon solubilization with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, only one class of EGF binding sites was detected in both cases, with a dissociation constant of 3 X 10(-8) M. The RIA can be used to monitor receptor purification and for quantitation of receptor number and affinity in various cell types. 相似文献

A binding assay was developed for the measurement of solubilized receptors for transforming growth factor type beta (TGF-beta). Solubilized receptors were incubated with 125I-TGF-beta, then the unbound ligand was removed by adsorption to dextran-coated charcoal. The binding of TGF-beta to solubilized receptors was saturable and specific, and increased in a linear manner with respect to the amount of membrane protein present. Crosslinking of radioactive complexes after adsorptive removal of unbound TGF-beta yielded complexes similar to affinity-labeled TGF-beta receptors from whole cells. Treatment of a 20% charcoal suspension with 0.2-0.4% dextran was optimal for the protection of receptors from adsorption to charcoal while allowing free TGF-beta to be removed; Mr approximately 250,000 dextran was most effective. This method can assay receptors from purified membranes and crude extracts of cells and tissues, and was used to demonstrate that TGF-beta receptors are glycosylated and retain a high affinity (Kd approximately 530 pM) for ligand after solubilization. 相似文献

Solubilization and Characterization of Opioid Binding Sites from Frog (Rana esculenta) Brain 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1

Active opioid receptors were solubilized from frog (Rana esculenta) brain membrane fractions by the use of 1% digitonin. It was found by kinetic as well as by equilibrium measurements that both the membrane and the solubilized fractions contain two binding sites. For the membrane preparations, KD values were 0.9 and 3.6 nM, and Bmax values were 293 and 734 fmol/mg protein. For the solubilized preparations, KD values were 0.4 and 2.6 nM, an Bmax values were 35 and 266 fmol/mg protein. The stereospecificity of the binding did not change during solubilization. Both the membrane-bound and the solubilized receptors showed weak binding of enkephalin and mu-specific drugs, suggesting that they are predominantly of the kappa-type. The membrane-bound and the soluble receptors showed the same distribution of subtypes, i.e., 70% kappa, 13% mu, and 17% delta for the membrane-bound and 71% kappa, 17% mu, and 12% delta for the soluble receptors. 相似文献

Kinetics and Physical Parameters of Rat Brain Opioid Receptors Solubilized by Digitonin and CHAPS 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0

Rat brain opioid receptors were solubilized with digitonin and a zwitterionic detergent, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). The yield of solubilization was 70-75% with digitonin and 30-35% with CHAPS. Kinetic and equilibrium studies performed from digitonin extracts resulted in KD values comparable with those of the membrane fractions. Two [3H]naloxone binding sites were obtained in the extracts similarly to membrane fractions. The rank order potency of drugs used in the competition experiments did not change during solubilization. The distributions of mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptor binding sites were similar in membrane and digitonin-solubilized fractions (48-50% mu, 35-37% kappa, and 13-17% delta subtypes). The hydrodynamic properties of digitonin- and CHAPS-solubilized preparations were studied by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and Sepharose-6B chromatography. In all cases, two receptor populations were identified with the following parameters: sedimentation coefficients for the digitonin extracts were 9.2S and 13.2S and for CHAPS extract 8S and 15.6S; the Stokes radii were 45 A and 65A for the digitonin extract and 31A and 76A for the CHAPS-solubilized preparation. 相似文献

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and benzodiazepine binding sites solubilized from rat cerebral cortex were not separated by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration, sucrose density gradient centrifugation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The molecular weight of both binding sites was determined to be 670,000 by gel filtration and the sedimentation coefficients to be 11.3S by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Scatchard plots of the binding of GABA, muscimol and flunitrazepam with Sepharose 6B eluate indicated that their receptors had a single class of sites for each ligand, and the maximum number of binding sites for GABA and muscimol was all but equal and double of that for flunitrazepam. Flunitrazepam binding was enhanced by GABA agonists. 相似文献

Solubilization by CHAPS detergent of barbiturate-enhanced benzodiazepine-GABA receptor complex 总被引:9,自引:6,他引:3
Abstract: Barbiturates enhance the binding of [3 H]flunitrazepam to benzodiazepine receptors solubilized with the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]propanesulfonate (CHAPS) from bovine cortex. The enhancement by the barbiturates is seen as a decrease in the dissociation constant, K d , for specific benzodiazepine binding, with no effect on the number of binding sites. The effect of the barbiturates is facilitated by chloride ions, is concentration-dependent, and has a specificity that correlates well with the anesthetic potency of barbiturates. [3 H]Flunitrazepam binding activity is stable with storage at 4°C., but barbiturate enhancement of soluble benzodiazepine binding activity decayed rapidly ( t 1/2 = 48 h). [3 H]Muscimol binding (GABA receptor) activity was also enhanced by barbiturates. Agarose gel filtration column chromatography of the CHAPS-solubilized receptor proteins showed the same elution profile as receptors solubilized with sodium deoxycholate, and enhancement by barbiturates was observed for both the benzodiazepine and GABA binding activities. 相似文献

Characterization of an imidazoline/guanidinium receptive site distinct from the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
A Parini I Coupry R M Graham I Uzielli D Atlas S M Lanier 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1989,264(20):11874-11878
alpha 2-Adrenergic receptors recognize a number of molecules with diverse chemical structures, including the yohimban diastereoisomers yohimbine and rauwolscine, catecholamines, guanidinium analogs, and imidazolines, such as clonidine. The affinity of the receptor protein for some of these ligands can vary by 10-100-fold among various tissues and species, suggesting a heterogeneous class of binding sites. Certain cellular effects elicited by the compounds possessing an imidazoline or guanidinium moiety may actually be mediated by a membrane receptor distinct from the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor. To determine whether this imidazoline/guanidinium receptive site (IGRS) and the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor represent distinct proteins, we solubilized and partially characterized the two binding sites in rabbit kidney. This tissue expresses both alpha 2-adrenergic receptors and high affinity imidazoline/guanidinium binding sites, the latter which are rauwolscine-insensitive but can be identified with the benzodioxan [3H]idazoxan. The IGRS and alpha 2-adrenergic receptor in rabbit kidney exhibit distinct ligand recognition properties, which are maintained after solubilization and partial purification. In addition, the two receptors can be physically separated by heparin-agarose or lectin affinity chromatography indicating that the two binding sites are distinct entities. [3H]Idazoxan binding is trypsin-sensitive, indicating that the IGRS is a protein rather than a lipid component of the plasma membrane. [3H]Idazoxan binding is not inhibited by endogenous agonists for known neurotransmitter receptors. However, the IGRS does recognize clonidine-displacing substance, a small non-catechol compound isolated from calf brain, suggesting the existence of a previously uncharacterized hormonal/neurotransmitter receptor system. 相似文献

Abstract: High-affinity μ-opioid receptors have been solubilized from 7315c cell membranes. Occupancy of the membrane-associated receptors with morphine before their solubilization in the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethyl]-1-propane sulfonate was critical for stabilization of the receptor. The solubilized opioid receptor bound [3H]-etorphine with high affinity (KD= 0.304 ± 0.06 nM; Bmax= 154 ± 33 fmol/mg of protein). Of the membrane-associated [3H]etorphine binding sites, 40 ± 5% were recovered in the solubilized fraction. Both μ-selective and non-selective enkephalins competed with [3H]etorphine for the solubilized binding sites; in contrast, 5- and K-opioid enkephalins failed to compete with [3H]etorphine for the solubilized binding sites at concentrations of <1 μM.The μ-selective ligand [3H][D-Ala2,A/-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]enkephalin also bound with high affinity (KD= 0.79 rM; Bmax= 108±17 fmol/mg of protein) to the solubilized material. Of the membrane-associated [3H][D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]-enkephalin binding sites, 43 ± 3% were recovered in the solubilized material. Guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), GTP, and guanosine 5′-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), but not adenylylimidodiphosphate, diminished [3H][D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]enkephalin binding in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, μ-opioid receptors from rat brain membranes were also solubilized in a high-affinity, guanine nucleotide-sensitive state if membrane-associated receptors were occupied with morphine before and during their solubilization with the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethyl]-1-propane sulfonate. 相似文献

Solubilization of D2 Dopamine Receptor Coupled to Guanine Nucleotide Regulatory Protein from Bovine Striatum 总被引:11,自引:7,他引:4
D2 dopamine receptor from bovine striatum was solubilized in a form sensitive to guanine nucleotides, by means of a zwitterionic detergent, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS). The presence of sodium ion markedly increased the solubilization yield. Treatment of the membranes with 10 mM CHAPS and 0.72 M NaCl solubilized 26% of the stereospecific [3H]spiperone binding sites in the original membrane preparations. The solubilized [3H]spiperone binding sites possessed characteristics of the D2 dopamine receptor: (a) localization of the site in the striatum but not in the cerebellum; (b) high affinity to nanomolar concentrations of [3H]spiperone; (c) displacement of [3H]spiperone binding by nanomolar concentrations of neuroleptics, but only by micromolar concentrations of dopamine and apomorphine; (d) equal activity of various dopamine agonists and antagonists in the soluble and membrane preparations. Guanine nucleotides decreased the affinity of the solubilized D2 dopamine receptor for dopamine agonists, but not for antagonists. The solubilized receptor complex was eluted in Sepharose CL-4B column chromatography as a large molecule, with a Stokes radius of approximately 90 A. These results indicate that the complex between the D2 dopamine receptor and GTP binding protein remains intact throughout the solubilization procedure. 相似文献

The H3 receptor is a high-affinity histamine receptor that inhibits release of several neurotransmitters, including histamine. We have characterized H3 receptor binding in bovine brain and developed conditions for its solubilization. Particulate [3H]histamine binding showed an apparently single class of sites (KD = 4.6 nM; Bmax = 78 fmol/mg of protein). Of the detergents tested, digitonin at a detergent/protein ratio of 1:1 (wt/wt) yielded the greatest amount of solubilized receptors, typically 15-30% of particulate binding. Neither equilibrium binding of [3H]histamine to receptors (KD = 6.1 nM; Bmax = 92 fmol/mg of protein) nor the inhibitor profile was substantially altered by digitonin solubilization. However, solubilization did increase the rate of [3H]histamine association with and dissociation from the receptor. Size-exclusion chromatography indicated an apparent molecular weight of 220,000 for the solubilized receptor, and peak binding from this column retained its guanine nucleotide sensitivity. These last two observations are consistent with the solubilized receptor occurring in complex with a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. 相似文献
