Résumé :

In rat pancreatic plasma membranes, preincubated with [125I]cholecystokinin-33 (CCK-33) and washed free of unbound tracer, the irradiation by UV light induced the irreversible binding of radioactivity to high molecular weight peptides as shown by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and autoradiography. This was not observed when the membranes were preincubated in the simultaneous presence of [125I]CCK-33 and of either an excess of unlabelled CCK-8 or of guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)-triphosphate. The radioactivity was mostly crosslinked with a Mr 96,000 peptide and peptide species of Mr greater than 200,000, after SDS solubilization in the absence of beta-mercaptoethanol. Peptide reduction with beta-mercaptoethanol converted the high molecular weight radioactive species into a Mr 76,000 peptide that contained as much as 65% of the radioactivity crosslinked. The Mr 76,000 peptide appears, therefore, to be a disulfide-linked constituent of rat pancreatic cholecystokinin receptors.
