title: Activation of [3H]estradiol--and [3H]H1285-receptor complexes: effect of salt versus ATP on molybdate-stabilized estrogen receptors.
abstract: The activation by salt or ATP of [3H]estradiol- and [3H]H1285-receptor complexes from rabbit uterus and their binding capacity to DNA-cellulose, phosphocellulose and ATP-Sepharose has been studied. The estrogen-receptor was prepared in 1 mM molybdate which stabilized the receptor; but both salt- and ATP-transformation of estrogen receptors occurred. The binding of molybdate-stabilized cytosol [3H]estradiol-receptor complexes to the various resins revealed that salt-activation by 0.3 M KCl caused the greatest binding (5-6-fold) to DNA-cellulose as compared to other resins. However, 5 mM ATP-dependent activation of receptor-complexes resulted in preferential binding to ATP-Sepharose. Activated cytosol [3H]H1285-receptor complexes bound all the resins to a lesser degree when compared to [3H]estradiol-receptor complexes. Partially purified receptor complexes also showed different resin-binding patterns for salt- and ATP-mediated activation. These findings suggest that salt-activation is different than ATP-activation. Further, the differential magnitude of [3H]estradiol- and [3H]H1285-receptor activation suggests that estrogen-receptor complexes are "fully" activated as compared to "partially" activated antiestrogen-receptor complexes.
