Abstract: | IGF-I receptors were partially purified from red and white skeletal muscle by lectin-affinity chromatography and the resultant fraction was depleted of insulin receptors by insulin affinity chromatography. Equilibrium binding of 125I-IGF-I to receptor preparations from red and white muscle yielded identical Scatchard plots. The integrity of the IGF-I receptor preparation in the two fiber types was identical as determined by affinity cross-linking. The tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor from red muscle was 2-3-fold more active towards exogenous substrates in both the basal and ligand-activated states as compared to white muscle. These data show that there is IGF-I-dependent kinase activity intrinsic to IGF-I receptors from skeletal muscle, and suggest that identical cellular factors may regulate the kinase activity of insulin and IGF-I receptors in a parallel manner in vivo. |
