Abstract

The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor was solubilized, in a sensitive form for GTP and Na+, from bovine cerebral cortex using a zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate. The solubilized muscarinic receptor displayed characteristics as follows: (1) high affinity to nanomolar concentration of l-[3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate; (2) muscarinic agonists and antagonists had similar inhibitory potencies as on the membrane-bound receptor; (3) without Na+, GTP did not significantly alter the binding affinity of muscarinic agonists and antagonists; (4) GTP in the presence of Na+, selectively decreased the affinity of muscarinic agonists, carbamylcholine and oxotremoline, but not the antagonist binding affinity; (5) Na+ in the absence or presence of GTP, reduced both muscarinic agonist and antagonist affinities.
