title: Investigation of the interaction of VIP binding sites with VIP and PACAP in human brain.
abstract: We have compared the binding of [125I]vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) to human brain membranes with that of [125I]PACAP27. [125I]VIP was displaced by PACAP27, VIP and two synthetic peptides, peptide-1 (N-terminal PACAP27/C-terminal VIP) and peptide-2 (N-terminal VIP/C-terminal PACAP27), but the IC50 of PACAP27 and peptide-1 were 10-20 times lower than those of VIP and peptide-2. [125I]PACAP27 was readily displaced by PACAP27 and peptide-1, with an IC50 of less than 1 nM, but poorly by VIP and peptide-2. Chemical cross-linking revealed that both labels were bound to polypeptides of Mr 66,000 and Mr 50,000. The results indicate that in human brain membranes both binding sites have a higher affinity to the N-terminal sequence of PACAP27, and VIP binding sites prefer PACAP27 to VIP itself.
