Number Of Binding Sites

Nuclear envelopes and nuclear matrices were isolated from the male-rat liver. Incubation of 125I-labelled 3,3′,5-tri-iodothyronine (T3) with the nuclear-envelope fraction resulted in specific binding of T3 to the membranes. Maximum specific binding occurred at 30 degrees C after 2h incubation. Storage for 1 week at -80 degrees C resulted in no loss of binding. Scatchard analysis revealed a class of binding sites with KD 86 nM. 3,3′,5′-Tri-iodothyronine was as effective a competitor of [125I]T3 binding to nuclear envelopes as was L-T3 itself, and tri-iodothyroacetic acid was 70% as potent as T3. L- and D-thyronine did not compete for [125I]T3 binding. Incubation of nuclear envelopes with 0.6 M-NaCl before addition of T3 resulted in the complete loss of specific binding sites, whereas exposure of the membranes to 2.0 M-NaCl after incubation with T3 did not extract binding sites. Nuclear matrices, after incubation with [125I]T3 under the same conditions, were shown to possess a class of binding sites with a similar KD but with approx. 30% of the maximum binding capacity. Nuclear envelopes from hypothyroid animals may possess slightly lower numbers of binding sites compared with nuclear envelopes from the intact animal, whereas nuclear matrices from hypothyroid animals have the same number of binding sites as do nuclear envelopes from the intact animal. In conclusion, nuclear envelopes and nuclear matrices have a class of binding sites with relatively high affinity for T3. It is distinct from nuclear and cytosolic binding sites.

ABSTRACT Nuclear salt extracts from intact female rat liver showed insignificant levels of progesterone-, oestradiol-, testosterone- or dexamethasone-specific binding. However, brief exposure of nuclear extracts to dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) induced binding for all the above classes of steroids. This 'DCC-effect', which was reproduced neither by gel filtration nor by extensive dialysis of the nuclear extract, could not be ascribed to removal of endogenous free or loosely bound steroids. We show that rat liver nuclei contain a class of secondary binding sites (BsII), which exhibit moderate or low affinity for steroid ligands, positive co-operativity, and cross-reaction between classes of steroids. The capacity of BsII sites to bind steroids depends strictly on prior neutralization by DCC of endogenous heat-stable non-dialysable inhibitor(s). The putative roles of these BsII binding sites are discussed in relation to component(s) probably responsible for inhibitory activity. J. Endocr. (1986) 110, 27–36
