Nociceptin binding sites in frog (Rana esculenta) brain membranes.

Abstract:

:The recently discovered natural heptadecapeptide nociceptin (orphanin FQ) shares some homology with the opioid peptides but it binds to a distinct receptor type, termed nociceptin receptor. This study demonstrates the presence of specific nociceptin recognition sites in brain membrane fractions of an amphibian, Rana esculenta. Para-iodo-Phe(1)-nociceptin-amide was radiolabelled by catalytic dehalotritiation, resulting in p[(3)H]Phe(1)-nociceptin-amide of 25 Ci/mmol specific radioactivity. Specific binding of [(3)H]nociceptin-amide to frog brain membranes was found to be saturable and of high affinity with equilibrium K(d) values in the low nanomolar range. A single set of binding sites with about 180 fmol/mg protein maximal binding capacity was obtained in saturation and competition experiments. [(3)H]Nociceptin-amide binding could easily be inhibited by synthetic nociceptin compounds but not by opioid ligands. Both sodium ions and 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate decreased the binding of the radioligand by transferring the receptor to a lower affinity state. Nociceptin dose-dependently stimulated the binding of the nonhydrolysable, radiolabeled GTP-analogue guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate ([(35)S]GTPgammaS) to G-proteins in frog brain membranes. Addition of 1 microM naloxone caused no significant change in the curves, indicating that nociceptin-mediated activation of G-proteins occurred through nonopioid mechanism.
