In the preceding paper (Shechter, Y., and Ron, A. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 14945-14950) we have shown that in fat cells, prepared and maintained in an isotonic buffer (pH 7.4) containing neither phosphate nor bicarbonate anions (Buffer A), the dose-response curve to insulin shifted to the right by about 2 logarithms and insulin binding affinity or capacity was only slightly decreased. In the current paper we demonstrate that progressive loss of insulin binding, either by treatment with trypsin or preincubating the cells with isoproterenol, correlates well with the reduced ability of the cells to elicit maximal lipogenesis in response to insulin. We further demonstrate in the "new" system that: the dissociation of labeled insulin from fat cells is not accelerated by the inclusion of unlabeled insulin in the medium; termination of lipogenesis in Buffer A occurs immediately; ligand-induced receptor internalization is grossly defective; and insulin is unable to stimulate lipogenesis at 15 degrees C. The data support the hypothesis that in the new experimental system all measurable binding sites are linked to a coupling mechanism. Each site behaves as an independent, separate entity and there are no site to site interactions. This leads to a linear relationship between binding and bioactivation, lack of negative or positive cooperatively, accelerated rate of termination, defective internalization, a shift to the right in the dose-response curve to insulin, and a lack of insulin response at a lower temperature. In more general terms, the study indicates that all measurable insulin receptors are chemically homogeneous in their potential capability to be coupled to an insulin effector (biologically relevant) system, and they do so under particular experimental conditions.
