The sigma-type opiate receptor is a distinct binding site in the brain that may mediate some of the psychotomimetic effects caused by benzomorphan opiates and phencyclidine in humans. The authors have developed a synthetic, highly selective ligand for this receptor, 1,3-di-o-tolylguanidine (DTG). To identify the binding protein(s) of the sigma receptor, they have now synthesized a radiolabeled azide derivative of DTG, ((/sup 3/H)N/sub 3/DTG). In guinea pig brain membrane binding assays conducted in the dark, (/sup 3/H)N/sub 3/DTG bound reversibly, selectively, and with high affinity to sigma receptors. The drug specificity profile of reversible (/sup 3/H)-N/sub 3/DTG binding was identical to that of (/sup 3/H)DTG and /sup 3/H-labeled (+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine binding indicating that (/sup 3/H)N/sub 3/DTG is a selective sigma receptor ligand. Guinea pig brain membranes were photoaffinity-labeled with (/sup 3/H)N/sub 3/DTG. NaDodSO/sub 4//PAGE of detergent-solubilized membrane extract identified a single 29-kDa radioactive band. Sepharose Cl-6B gel chromatography of photolabeled brain membranes solubilized with the nondenaturing detergent sodium cholate showed a radioactive complex with a Stoke's radius of 4.6 nm (M/sub r/, 150,000) that may represent the intact sigma receptor complex. NaDodSO/sub 4//PAGE of this complex showed the radiolabeled material was a 29-kDa polypeptide that may be binding subunit of the sigma receptor.
