title: Solubilization and molecular weight estimation of atrial natriuretic factor receptor from bovine adrenal cortex.
abstract: Receptors for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) have been solubilized with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate from bovine adrenal cortex and characterized. The detergent extract retained specific high-affinity binding sites for 125I-ANF. Scatchard analysis of the equilibrium binding data revealed a single class of binding site with a K-d of 1.8 nM and a maximum binding capacity of 2.5 pmol/mg of protein. The size of the 125I-ANF X receptor complexes was estimated to be 140,000 daltons by gel filtration on TSK gel G3000SW. Affinity labeling followed by electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions and autoradiography also revealed a single band of a similar size (Mr = 130,000); this band, however, migrated as a Mr = 70,000 species under reducing electrophoretic conditions. These results indicate that the ANF receptor, having a Mr of 130,000 - 140,000, is composed of disulfide-linked subunits and the ANF-binding site is located on the 70-kDa component.
