The physical properties of brain and pituitary somatostatin receptors were characterized using photocrosslinking techniques. Somatostatin receptors in rat corpus striatum and anterior pituitary membranes were covalently bound to the non-reducible somatostatin analog, [125I]CGP 23996, using the crosslinking agent n-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate and ultraviolet light. In striatal membranes, a protein of 60,000 mol. wt was labeled by [125I]CGP 23996. The binding was potently inhibited by somatostatin analogs but not by other biologically active peptides. The labeling of the 60,000 mol. wt protein by [125I]CGP 23996 was diminished by guanine triphosphate gamma thiol, which is consistent with the labeling of a somatostatin receptor coupled to guanine triphosphate binding proteins. The migration of the [125I]CGP 23996 labeled 60,000 mol. wt protein in native sodium dodecyl sulfate-gels was not affected by the reducing agent dithiothreitol, indicating that there is a general lack of disulfide bridges in the striatal somatostatin receptor. The striatal somatostatin receptor was solubilized with the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylaminoio]-1-propanesulfonate and specifically bound to the lectin wheat germ agglutinin, suggesting that the striatal somatostatin receptor is a glycoprotein. [125I]CGP 23996 also labeled a 60,000 mol. wt protein in anterior pituitary membranes. The characteristics of [125I]CGP 23996 binding to anterior pituitary membranes were consistent with the labeling of a somatostatin receptor. Interestingly, a comparison of the [125I]CGP 23996 labeled material from striatal and anterior pituitary membranes by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of several striatal somatostatin receptors of varying charge (pI values between 6 and 6.5) but only a single pituitary receptor. These findings indicate that physical differences may exist between subtypes of somatostatin receptors.
