Binding and distribution of three prototype calcium channel blockers in perfused rat liver.
    Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 1997, Volume: 169, Issue:1-2

    This work represents a study of the binding and distribution of three different calcium channel blockers in the Sprague-Dawley rat liver, using an in situ perfusion technique. For this purpose, [3H] desmethoxyverapamil, [3H] PN200-110 (isradipine) and [3H] azidopine were used as binding probes interacting with calcium channels. The perfusion steps of the liver involved both portal vein and thoracic inferior vena cava cannulations as inlet and outlet respectively. The subhepatic inferior vena cava was ligated to prevent leakage of the perfusate. Buffer, containing the tracer drug, was administered via the portal vein at a rate of 1 mL/min and perfusate collected at the same rate within specified time intervals during 50 min. The concentration of the tracer solutes in the perfusate's outlet increased with time, and steady state was observed for all tracers at > or = 40 min. The effect of adding cold isradipine to tracer desmethoxyverapamil, or cold verapamil to tracer PN200-110 were also assessed. First order rate constants for hepatocellular influx, efflux and calcium channel binding of the tracer substances were obtained using a simplified model from Goresky et al. These constants were mathematically manipulated and changed into permeability constants, second order binding constants, and residency times. Tracer solute influx across hepatocellular membranes is solubility-diffusion controlled, is inversely related to the molecular weights and is different in value from the efflux constants. Cold isradipine reduced the binding constant of desmethoxyverapamil by 36%, while cold verapamil reduced the binding constant of PN200-110 by 23%. Azidopine cellular distribution was low, however, binding to its receptor was analogous to desmethoxyverapamil and PN200-110. Moreover, PN200-110 had the highest residency time with no effect of cold verapamil on its receptor binding, while desmethoxyverapamil had the lowest residency time which significantly increased in the presence of cold isradipine.

Is Ca2+ antagonists binding protein from cytosolic fraction the precursor of alpha 1-subunit of Ca2+ channel?
    General physiology and biophysics, 1989, Volume: 8, Issue:2

    The binding of Ca2+ antagonists to soluble proteins obtained by ammonium sulphate precipitation from cytosol fraction of rabbit skeletal muscles was studied. The KD values for 3H D-888 and 3H PN 200-110 binding to soluble proteins were 21.3 +/- 3.1 nmol.l-1 and 28.8 +/- 8.9 nmol.l-1 respectively. Photoaffinity labelling of the soluble proteins with the arylazide 1,4-dihydropyridine probe 3H azidopine resulted in labelling of the 85-95 K protein band as determined by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Partial purification of prelabelled soluble sample by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 gave a more precise molecular weight of 90 +/- 2.5K. Polyclonal antibodies prepared against Ca2+ channel complex from rabbit muscle T-tubules inhibited the 3H PN 200-110 binding. Our results suggest that the soluble protein with Mr = 90K +/- 2.5K may be a precursor of the large subunit of the membrane bound L-type Ca2+ channel in rabbit skeletal muscle.

The 165-kDa peptide of the purified skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor contains the known regulatory sites of the calcium channel.
    European journal of biochemistry, 1987, Aug-17, Volume: 167, Issue:1

    The dihydropyridine receptor purified from rabbit skeletal muscle yields in the presence of dithiothreitol and sodium dodecyl sulfate on polyacrylamide gels bands of apparent molecular mass 165 +/- 5, 130 +/- 5, 55 +/- 3, 32 +/- 2 and 28 +/- 1 kDa (chi +/- SEM, n = 12). Under nonreducing conditions, the 130 kDa and 28-kDa peptides migrate as a single peptide of 165 kDa. These peptides were separated on a HPLC size-exclusion column. The specific absorption coefficients of the isolated peptides were determined. From these a stoichiometry of 1:1.7 +/- 0.2:1.4 +/- 0.3 (chi +/- SEM of 12 experiments with three different preparations) was calculated for the 165-kDa, 55-kDa and 32-kDa peptides. The relative amount of the 130/28-kDa peptide varied with different preparations. Tryptic, chymotryptic and V-8 protease peptides of the isolated proteins suggested that the 130/28-kDa peptide was not related to the 165-kDa peptide. The dihydropyridine photoaffinity analog (+/-)-azidopine was specifically incorporated only into the 165-kDa peptide with an efficiency of about 2.4%. The azido analog of desmethoxyverapamil, LU 49888, was specifically incorporated into the same peptide with an efficiency of 1.5%. These results suggest that only the 165-kDa peptide contains the regulatory sites detected so far in the voltage-operated L-type calcium channel. They suggest further that the 130/28-kDa peptide, which migrates as a 165-kDa peptide under nonreducing conditions, does not contain high-affinity binding sites for the calcium channel blockers.

Calcium channels: basic properties as revealed by radioligand binding studies.
    Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 1985, Volume: 7 Suppl 6

    The structural features and molecular properties of calcium channels have been explored with 1,4-dihydropyridines, d-cis diltiazem and verapamil in radiolabeled form. The concept of multiple (at least three) drug receptor sites of the channel (sites 1, 2, and 3) has been proposed. Site 1 is labeled by 1,4 dihydropyridines, site 2 by (+/-) verapamil (in skeletal muscle) and by (-) desmethoxyverapamil (in brain, skeletal muscle, and heart), site 3 by d-cis diltiazem (in skeletal muscle). The three distinct drug receptor sites communicate with each other via reciprocal allosterism and are linked to divalent cation binding sites. The concept of the reciprocal allosteric communication between the receptor sites has been proven by individual labeling of each of the drug receptor sites in the skeletal muscle t-tubule membrane where the density of calcium channels is extremely high. In brain and heart, labeling of the receptor sites 1 and 2 has also been successful. Three novel ligands for the calcium channel are presented: 125I-iodipine, a 1,4 dihydropyridine ligand, which has an exceptionally high specific activity (2,200 Ci/mmol), 3H-azidopine, a high-affinity, photoaffinity ligand and finally (-) 3H-desmethoxyverapamil, a high-affinity radioligand for receptor site 2. These ligands will aid in the isolation and final characterisation of the calcium channel. 125I-iodipine, 3H-azidopine and (-) 3H-desmethoxyverapamil bind to detergent-solubilized channels from skeletal muscle t-tubules. Whereas the 1,4-dihydropyridines label only a 12.9 S macromolecule, (-) 3H-desmethoxyverapamil additionally labels a approximately 5.0 S peak, where almost no high-affinity 1,4 dihydropyridine binding is found. Taken together with the results from target-size analysis experiments and photoaffinity labeling, an oligomeric structure of the channel is most likely. One polypeptide chain (Mr = 145,000) in reduced form has been unambiguously identified and is currently further characterized. It remains to be seen if the all of the earlier postulated four elements of the channel (alpha, beta, delta, gamma) are on different polypeptide chains or if the 145,000 peptide corresponds to the (beta, delta) or the (delta, gamma) element.
