Abstract
The glycoprotein nature of the ligand binding subunit of photoaffinity-labeled striatal D2 receptors was investigated. Upon photolysis, [125I]N-azidophenethylspiperone covalently incorporated into a major band of Mr, 94000 with an appropriate pharmacological profile for D2 receptors as assessed by autoradiography following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The exoglycosidase, neuraminidase, altered the electrophoretic mobility of the 94 kDa labeled band to 54 kDa with a slight modification in the binding affinity of [3H]spiperone. Endoglycosidase treatment (glycopeptidase-F) produced a further increase in the mobility of the 94 kDa peptide to ∼43 kDa. A smaller specifically photolabeled D2 receptor peptide of 34 kDa does not contain terminal sialic acid but is an N-linked glycoprotein as assessed by lectin affinity chromatography and susceptibility to digestion by glycopeptidase-F to a peptide of ∼23 kDaKeywords
