Agonist-activated angiotensin II receptor is associated with a guanine nucleotide binding protein in bovine adrenal cortex
Previous studies have shown that high affinity binding of the agonist Angiotensin II (Ang II) to adrenal cortex receptors was modulated by guanine nucleotides. In contrast, the antagonist (/sup 1/SAR,/sup 8/Ile) Ang II (SARILE) did not display any sensitivity toward guanine nucleotides. The authors have observed already after solubilization in octyl-glucoside and size-exclusion HPLC that agonist (/sup 131/I) (/sup 1/SAR) Ang II (SARANG)-stabilized receptor complex behaved as a larger protein than the antagonist (/sup 125/I)SARILE-stabilized receptor. Their purpose was to assay the direct association of a guanine nucleotide binding protein to the agonist-occupied Ang II receptor using (/sup 35/S) guanosine-thio-triphosphate (GTP-..gamma..-s) as a probe of the regulation protein. Adrenal cortical membrane receptors were activated with 10/sup -6/ M SARANG, solubilized and fraction marked on DEAE-agarose, then on size-exclusion HPLC. Fractionated samples were assayed with (/sup 35/S)-GTP-..gamma..-s. They found that a (/sup 35/S)GTP-..gamma..-s binding protein peak coeluted with the agonist-occupied receptor peak, while it disappeared in absence of agonist and eluted presumably free in a higher elution volume. Their results demonstrated directly the coupling of a guanine-nucleotide binding protein to the agonist-activated Ang II receptor.
