Covalent labeling of the canine renal parathyroid hormone receptor with (/sup 125/I)bPTH(1-34) reveals several major binding components that display characteristic consistent with a physiologically relevant adenylate cyclase linked receptor. Through the use of the specific glycosidases neuraminidase and endoglycosidase F and affinity chromatography on lectin-agarose gels, we show here that the receptor is a glycoprotein that contains several complex N-linked carbohydrate chains consisting of terminal sialic acid and penultimate galactose in a ..beta..1,4 linkage to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. No high mannose chains or O-linked glycans appear to be present. The peptide molecular weight of the deglycosylated labeled receptor is 62,000 (or 58,000 if the mass of bPTH(1-34) is excluded). The binding of (/sup 125/I)bPTH(1-34) to the receptor is inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by wheat-germ agglutinin, but not by either succinylated wheat-germ agglutinin or Ricinus communis lectin, suggesting that terminal sialic acid may be involved in agonist binding. A combination of lectin affinity chromatography and immunoaffinity chromatography affords a 200-fold purification of the covalently labeled receptor.
