title: Beta-adrenergic receptor: stereospecific interaction of iodinated beta-blocking agent with high affinity site.
abstract: An iodine-labeled beta-adrenergic inhibitor ((125)l-hydroxybenzylpindolol) binds specifically to a site on turkey erythrocyte membranes. A series of beta-adrenergic agonists and inhibitors compete for this binding site, with apparent affinities paralleling biological effectiveness as activators or inhibitors of catecholaminestimulated adenylate cyclase. The activity of d-(+) agonists or inhibitors was 1 percent (or less) than that of the corresponding l-(-) isomers in competing for binding of the iodinated blocker as well as in affecting catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase. 1-(-)-Norepinephrine was about one-tenth as active as l-(-)-isoproterenol in competing for the beta-blocking agent site. The stereospecificity of the interaction with the iodinated beta-blocking agent and the correspondence between affinity for site and biological potency of analogs suggested that this interaction is involved in function of the beta-adrenergic receptor.
