title: Proteolysis-associated deglycosylation of beta 1-adrenergic receptor in turkey erythrocytes and membranes.
abstract: A protease that can be inhibited by glutathione, dithiothreitol, and o-phenanthroline but not by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid converts the 50-kilodalton beta-adrenergic receptor in turkey erythrocyte membranes to a 40-kDa polypeptide which retains the specific ligand binding site. This conversion is attenuated in intact erythrocytes. The large 50-kDa peptide contains N-linked, complex carbohydrates and is retained on wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose. The 40-kDa product of proteolysis does not bind to the wheat germ agglutinin and can thus be separated from the 50-kDa polypeptide by lectin chromatography. However, the large difference in molecular weights of the two receptor peptides cannot be accounted for solely by the different extent of glycosylation.
