title: Characteristics of [125I]omega-conotoxin labeling using bifunctional cross linker DSP in crude membranes from chick brain.
abstract: Characteristic of [125I]omega-conotoxin (omega-CgTX) labeling using bifunctional cross linker (dithio bis[succinimidyl propionate]:DSP) was systematically investigated in crude membranes from chick whole brain. [125I]omega-CgTX specifically labeled 216 kDa as a main and 236 kDa as a minor bands in the crude membranes under non-reduced condition, but not labeled under reduced condition. We investigated the effect of various Ca channel antagonists on [125I]omega-CgTX labeling with DSP in detail, and found that there is a strong correlation between the effects of Ca channel antagonists on [125I]omega-CgTX labeling of the 216 kDa band and specific [125I]omega-CgTX binding. These results suggest that labeling of the 216 kDa band under non-reduced condition with [125I]omega-CgTX using DSP involves the specific binding sites of [125I]omega-CgTX, perhaps including one of the neuronal N-type Ca channel subunits in the crude membranes.
