title: Interactions of Tyr-MIF-1 at opiate receptor sites.
abstract: Binding of Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) to mu and delta opiate receptors was compared with other putative opiate antagonist peptides by displacement of iodinated ligands selective for mu (DAGO, FK33824, and morphiceptin) and delta (DPDPE) receptors. Tyr-MIF-1 and ACTH (1-24 and 1-39) inhibited binding of 125I-DAGO with IC50's of about 1 microM. FMRF-NH2 was about an order of magnitude weaker while CCK-8 and MIF-1 failed to inhibit 50% of binding at concentrations up to 100 microM. Morphiceptin, Tyr-MIF-1, and ACTH were less potent but more efficacious than DAGO, FK33824, morphine, or naloxone in inhibiting the binding of 125I-morphiceptin. Tyr-MIF-1 appeared to have a more selective action at opiate receptors than ACTH; in contrast to their effects at 125I-DAGO-labeled sites, morphiceptin and Tyr-MIF-1 inhibited less than 50% of 125I-DPDPE binding at concentrations up to 10 and 50 microM, while ACTH 1-39 and 1-24 inhibited more than 80% of the binding at 2.5 and 5 microM, respectively. The results indicate that at relatively high concentrations Tyr-MIF-1, like ACTH, can affect binding to the opiate receptor, but unlike ACTH, binding of Tyr-MIF-1 appears relatively selective for the mu site.
