title: Characterization of the rabbit renal receptor for native parathyroid hormone employing a radioligand purified by reversed-phase liquid chromatography.
abstract: Iodinated native bovine parathyroid hormone (bPTH(1-84)) was separated from uniodinated hormone by reversed-phase liquid chromatography techniques after lactoperoxidase labeling. Analysis of iodinated residues after enzymatic digestion indicated that the major labeled product was largely monoiodinated on the sole tyrosine residue. This material retained full bioactivity in an in vitro renal adenylate cyclase assay. Binding of 125I-bPTH(1-84) to rabbit renal membranes at 4 degrees C was proportional to membrane protein concentration and was saturable and dissociable. Radioligand binding was inhibited by concentrations of unlabeled bPTH(1-84) required to stimulate adenylate cyclase in the same membrane preparation but was not inhibited by non-PTH peptides other than adrenocorticotropin at high concentrations (greater than 10 microM). Synthetic NH2-terminal analogues of bPTH(1-84) all elicited approximately equivalent inhibition of radioligand binding which was, however, less potent than unlabeled bPTH(1-84), suggesting a role for the carboxyl region of the molecule in the interaction of bPTH(1-84) with its receptor. Activity of the NH2-terminal agonists was similar to bPTH(1-84) in stimulating adenylate cyclase. Although substitution in sequence position one, of serine in human PTH(1-34) for alanine in bPTH(1-34), reduced activity in the adenylate cyclase assay, inhibition of 125I-bPTH(1-84) binding by both peptides and by an analogue of bPTH(3-34) was equivalent, consistent with a minimal contribution of the first 2 residues for receptor binding of the NH2-terminal region of PTH. The results illustrate the utility of the radiolabeled preparation of native bPTH we have developed and emphasize the importance of probing the PTH receptor with an intact hormone to maximize information concerning the mechanism of PTH action.
