Identification of the receptor for atrial natriuretic factor on cultured vascular cells

Binding experiments with 125I-atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) followed by covalent attachment with disuccimidyl suberate show that the peptide binds predominantly to a protein of apparent molecular mass of 66,000 daltons on the cell surface of cultured bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. A minor prot...

Description
Summary:Binding experiments with 125I-atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) followed by covalent attachment with disuccimidyl suberate show that the peptide binds predominantly to a protein of apparent molecular mass of 66,000 daltons on the cell surface of cultured bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. A minor protein species of 180,000 Mr is also visualized after cross-linking. Endothelial cells, however, whose ANF binding parameters differ substantially from smooth muscle cells, also appear to have qualitatively identical 125I-ANF binding proteins. The identity of these putative proteins, as the ANF receptor, is confirmed by findings that covalent attachment of 125I-ANF is saturable, concentration-dependent, and competed by nanomolar concentrations of unlabeled ANF. Furthermore, other peptide hormones such as angiotensin II, glucagon, or insulin are ineffective in competing for 125I-ANF binding and cross-linking to the receptor.
