Seven peptides covering the entire sequence of human choriogonadotropin (hCG) alpha-subunit, eight peptides covering the hCG beta-subunit sequence and two peptides, one of human beta-lutropin and one of beta-thyrotropin were synthesized. We checked their ability to prevent reassociation between hCG alpha- and beta-subunits and between hCG and its receptor. Only the alpha 1-22, alpha 59-92 and beta 1-16 peptides inhibited the reassociation between the alpha- and beta-subunits of hCG with an ED50 of respectively 2 mM, 2 mM and 4 mM. Using porcine Leydig cells in primary culture, we showed that alpha 33-59, alpha 41-59 and beta 1-16 peptides decreased both the specific binding to the cell surface and the internalization of [125I]hCG and [125I]porcine LH with ED50 of 0.3, 0.1 and 0.5 mM, respectively. From these results, the following minimal area may be assigned, (i) to the alpha-beta interaction: alpha 5-16, alpha 52-72 (or alpha 59-70) and beta 8-16, and (ii) to the hormone-receptor association: alpha 41-45 and beta 8-16.
