Biochemical Characterization of Brown Adipose Tissue β-Adrenergic Receptor

AbstractThe β-adrenergic receptor of rodent brown fat plays a key role in the control of energy dissipation by this tissue. The aim of the present study was to further characterize the biochemical properties of this receptor. The β-receptor of rat interscapular brown adipose tissue plasma membranes was found to bind the β-adrenergic antagonist [125I] cyanopindolol with a high affinity (KD 67 pM). The [125I] cyanopindolol receptor complex could be solubilized by digitonin and the isoelectric point of the solubilized receptor was found to be 5.8. Brown adipose tissue plasma membranes were labeled with the photoaffinity ligand [125I] cyanopindolol diazirine and labeled membrane proteins were separated by sodium dodecylsufate polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis and analyzed by autoradiography. Autoradiograms revealed a peptide of 62 kDa whose labeling was stereoselectively displaced by alprenolol and isoproterenol. The β1-selective antagonist betaxolol was about 100 times more potent in displacing the labeling ...
