Chemotactic peptide binding by rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Presence of two compartments having similar affinities but different kinetics.
N-Formylnorleucylleucylphenylalanine (f-Nle-LeuPhe) bound to rabbit peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes at 4 degrees C exists in at least two compartments that can be differentiated by their off rates. The off rate of one compartment is similar to that of the receptor characterized previously, about 0.4 min-1 (Aswanikumar, S., Corcoran, B., Schiffmann, E., Day, A. R., Freer, R. J., Showell, H. J., Becker, E. L., and Pert, C. B. (1977) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 74, 810-817; Sullivan, S. J., and Zigmond, S. H. (1980) J. Cell Biol. 85, 703-711); the off rate of the second compartment is about 0.005 min-1. Lysis of the cells at 4 degrees C with 1% Triton does not affect the peptide release from either compartment. Accumulation of peptide at 4 degrees C into the fast off-rate compartment is rapid, reaching a plateau in about 5 min, while peptide in the slow off-rate compartment continues to increase for up to 4 h. The rate of accumulation in the slow off-rate compartment is approximately proportional to the amount of peptide bound to the fast off-rate compartment. Cells lysed at 4 degrees C before binding are still able to accumulate peptide into both compartments. Three possible models to explain the data are presented.
