The binding of [3H]cAMP to Dictyostelium discoideum cells was analyzed on a seconds time scale under both equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. The binding of [3H]cAMP increases rapidly to a maximum obtained at about 6 s, which is followed by a decrease to an equilibrium value reached at about 45 s. This decrease of [3H]cAMP binding is not the result of ligand degradation or isotope dilution by cAMP secretion but is due to a transition of high-affinity binding to low-affinity binding. Analysis of the dissociation rate of [3H]cAMP from the binding sites indicates that these high- and low-affinity binding sites are both fast dissociating with a half-life of about 1 s. In addition, these dissociation experiments reveal a third binding type which is slowly dissociating with a half-life of about 15 s. The number and affinity of these slowly dissociating sites does not change during the incubation with [3H]cAMP. The drugs caffeine and chlorpromazine do not change the total number of binding sites, but they change the ratio of the three binding types. In the presence of 10 mM caffeine almost all binding sites are in the low affinity conformation, while in the presence of 0.1 mM chlorpromazine the ratio is shifted to both the high-affinity type and slowly dissociating type. The results indicate that the cAMP-binding activity of D. discoideum cells is heterogeneous. In the absence of cAMP about 4% of the sites are slowly dissociating with Kd = 12.5 nM, about 40% are fast dissociating with high affinity (Kd = 60 nM), and about 60% are fast dissociating with low affinity (Kd = 450 nM). During the binding reaction the number of slowly dissociating sites does not change. The number of high-affinity sites decreases to a minimum of about 10% with a concomitant increase of low-affinity sites to about 90%. This transition of binding types shows first-order kinetics with a half-life of about 9 s. A half-maximal transition is induced by 12.5 nM cAMP.
