Abstract
A1 adenosine receptors in coated vesicles have been characterized by radioligand binding and photoaffinity labelling. Saturation experiments with the antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-[3H]dipropyl-xanthine ([3H]DPCPX) gave a Kd value of 0.7 nM and a Bmax value of 82 ± 13 fmol/mg protein. For the highly A1-selective agonist ([3H]CCPA) a Kd value of 1.7 nM and a Bmax value of 72 ± 29 fmol/mg protein was estimated. Competition of agonists for [3H]DPCPX binding gave a pharmacological profile with R-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA) > CCPA > S-PIA > 5′-N-ethylcarboxamido-adenosine (NECA), which is identical to brain membranes. The competition curves were best fitted according to a two-site model, suggesting the existence of two affinity states. GTP shifted the competition curve for CCPA to the right and only one affinity state similar to the low affinity state in the absence of GTP was detected. The photoreactive agonist 2-azido-N6-125I-p-hydroxyphenylisopropyladenosine ([125I]AHPIA) specifically labelled a single protein with an apparent molecular weight of 35,000 in coated vesicles, which is identical to A1 receptors labelled in brain membranes. Therefore, coated vesicles contain A1 adenosine receptors with similar binding characteristics as membrane-bound receptors, including GTP-sensitive high-affinity agonist binding. Photoaffinity labelling data suggest that A1 receptors in these vesicles are not a processed receptor form. These results confirm that A1 receptors in coated vesicles are coupled to a G-protein, and it appears that the A1 receptor systems in coated vesicles and in plasma membranes are identical.Keywords
