The chicken oviduct androgen receptor was characterized by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, Scatchard analysis, competition studies, and affinity labeled with dihydrotestosterone 17 beta-bromoacetate. A specific 8.5 S peak was seen on 0.01 M KCl sucrose density gradients when the receptor was labeled with [3H]5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone. Specific 4.6 S peaks were seen when receptor labeled with [3H]5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone or [3H]dihydrotestosterone 17 beta-bromoacetate was analyzed on 0.3 M KCl sucrose density gradients. Scatchard analysis of [3H]5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone binding by oviduct cytosol was consistent with two binding sites. A Kd of 0.13 nM was found for the high affinity androgen receptor. Competition studies showed the following order of ligand affinity: 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone greater than dihydrotestosterone 17 beta-bromoacetate greater than progesterone greater than estradiol. A 61.2 kDa protein was specifically covalently labeled with [3H]dihydrotestosterone 17 beta-bromoacetate. The chicken oviduct androgen receptor possesses characteristics similar to other androgen receptors, and provides a good source of androgen receptor for physicochemical studies of the native receptor protein.
