In the present study the authors examined the kinetics of binding of iodinated COOH-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin ({sup 125}I-CCK-8) to its receptors on dispersed acini prepared from guinea pig pancreas. At 37{degree}C, binding of {sup 125}I-CCK-8 reached a steady state after 60 min of incubation. Dissociation of bound {sup 125}I-CCK-8 was biphasic, indicating that the labeled peptide binds in two distinct states: a rapidly dissociating state and a slowly dissociating state. Binding of {sup 125}I-CCK-8 in the rapidly dissociating state was maximal within 3 min of incubation, did not depend on incubation temperature or cellular energy metabolism, could be stripped by 0.5 M potassium thiocyanate, and showed accelerated dissociation with CCK-8 or dibutyrylguanosine 3{prime},5{prime}-cyclic monophosphate (Bt{sub 2}cGMP). Binding of {sup 125}I-CCK-8 in the slowly dissociating state was maximal after 60 min of incubation, was decreased by reducing the incubation temperature or inhibiting cellular energy metabolism, was not stripped by 0.5 M potassium thiocyanate, and did not show accelerated dissociation with CCK-8 or Bt{sub 2}cGMP. Computer analysis of the inhibition of {sup 125}I-CCK-8 by CCK-8 under experimental conditions where the rapidly dissociating state predominates demonstrated a complete loss of high-affinity binding sites. The present results demonstrate that labeled CCK-8 can bind in two kinetic states that have not been incorporated into previous models of CCK-receptor interaction based on stoichiometric studies.
