Solubilization and characterization of active neurotensin receptors from mouse brain

Neurotensin receptors were solubilized from mouse brain using the zwitterionic detergent 3-((3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS). The binding of /sup 125/I-labeled (Tyr/sup 3/)neurotensin to the soluble fraction was time-dependent, saturable, and reversible. Unlabeled neurotensin and its analogues acetylneurotensin (8-13), neurotensin (9-13), and neurotensin (1-12) competitively antagonized the binding of /sup 125/I-labeled (Tyr/sup 3/)neurotensin to CHAPS-solubilized extracts with relative potencies similar to those observed with membrane-bound receptors. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding data indicated that the soluble extract contained a single class of neurotensin binding sites with a K/sub d/ of 0.36 nM and a B/sub m/ of 63 fmol/mg. As already observed with membrane-bound receptors, the affinity of neurotensin for the soluble binding activity was decreased by Na/sup +/ ions. By contrast, soluble receptors were no longer sensitive to GTP and the antihistamine drug levocabastine. A molecular weight of about 100,000 was determined for soluble neurotensin receptors both under native conditions by gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 34 and under denaturating conditions by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after photoaffinity labeling.
