Atrial natriuretic factor receptor heterogeneity in rat tissues
Rat /sup 125/I-atrial natriuretic factor (ANF, 8-33) was used to identify ANF receptors in membrane preparations from rat adrenal gland and lung. When solubilized with Lubrol-PX, the receptors retained a binding profile and properties that correspond to the high affinity and specificity found in crude membranes. Single peaks of binding activity were observed in gel permeation HPLC and density gradient centrifugation analysis of the solubilized preparations. However, when membranes and solubilized preparations were labeled with /sup 125/I-ANF, treated with crosslinking reagent (disuccinimidyl suberate), and analyzed by SDS gel electrophoresis several specifically labeled bands (120,000, 70,000, and 60,000 daltons) were identified by autoradiography. The relative distribution of the specifically labeled proteins varied significantly between rat adrenal gland and lung. In adrenal glands the 120K dalton band was the most prominent specifically labeled protein, while the 60K and 70K dalton proteins were labeled to a lesser degree. In lung membranes the lower molecular weight proteins were more prominent. These results suggest the presence of multiple ANF receptor subtypes, the distribution of which varies among tissues. Chromatographic separation and further characterization of these receptors are currently in progress, and preliminary purification studies support this hypothesis.
