摘要: The binding sites for alpha-dihydropicrotoxinin (DHP), which is a ligand the picrotoxin-sensitive component at benzodiazepine-gamma-aminobutyric acid-receptor-ionophore complex, has been solubilized from rat brain, using 1% Lubrol. A new assay, involves precipitation of [3H]DHP-soluble protein complex by gamma-globulin and polyethylene glycol (PEG), followed centrifugation, described. material bound DHP to two with apparent affinities 0.038 1.85 microM. receptors was inhibited convulsant depressant drugs potencies similar those required membrane receptors. ability barbiturates inhibit both strongly suggests that may interact picrotoxin component. These data suggest recognition properties picrotoxinin are not altered solubilization. abolished urea partially destroyed heating soluble extract 65 degrees C 30 min. This method measuring ligands PEG centrifugation might be used successfully in other solubilization studies.
