title: Purification of vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor from porcine liver by a newly designed one-step affinity chromatography.
abstract: Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors were solubilized from porcine liver membrane using the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid. The solubilized VIP receptor has been purified approximately 50,000-fold to apparent homogeneity by a one-step affinity chromatography using a newly designed VIP-polyacrylamide resin. The purified receptor bound 125I-VIP with a Kd of 22.3 +/- 0.7 nM and retained its peptide specificity toward VIP-related peptides. The specific activity of the purified receptor (16,400 pmol/mg of protein) was very close to the theoretical value (18,900 pmol/mg of protein) calculated assuming one binding site/protein. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of purified receptor revealed a single band with an Mr of 53,000 after either silver staining or radioiodination. Affinity labeling of the purified receptor with 125I-VIP using dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) gave a single radioactive band, the labeling of which was completely inhibited by an excess of unlabeled VIP. In conclusion, an Mr 53,000 protein containing the VIP-binding site was purified to homogeneity by a one-step affinity chromatography using immobilized VIP.
