PG - 921-33 AB - sigma Receptors, once considered a class of opioid receptors, are now regarded as a unique class of receptors that contain binding sites for a wide range of ligands, including the drug 1-N(2',6'-dimethylmorpholino)3-(4-t-butylpropylamine) (fenpropimorph), a yeast sterol isomerase inhibitor. Because fenpropimorph has high-binding affinity to the sigma-1 receptor, we have synthesized a series of fenpropimorph-like derivatives with varying phenyl ring substituents and have characterized their binding affinities to the sigma-1 receptor. In addition, we have synthesized a carrier-free, radioiodinated fenpropimorph-like photoaffinity label, 1-N-(2',6'-dimethyl-morpholino)-3-(4-azido-3-[(125)I]iodo-phenyl)propane ([(125)I]IAF), which covalently derivatized the sigma-1 receptor (25.3 kDa) in both the rat liver and guinea pig liver membranes and the sigma-2 receptor (18 kDa) in rat liver membranes with high specificity. Furthermore, after cleaving the specific [(125)I]IAF-photolabeled sigma-1 receptor in guinea pig and rat liver membranes and the pure guinea pig sigma-1 receptor with EndoLys-C and cyanogen bromide, the [(125)I]IAF label was identified both in a peptide containing steroid binding domain-like I (SBDLI) (amino acids 91-109) and in a peptide containing steroid binding domain-like II (SBDLII) (amino acids 176-194). Because a single population of binding sites (R(2) = 0.992) for [(125)I]IAF interaction with the sigma-1 receptor was identified by (+)-[(3)H]pentazocine competitive binding with nonradioactive [(127)I]IAF, it was concluded that SBDLI (amino acids 91-109) and SBDLII (amino acids 176-194) comprises, at least in part, regions of the sigma-1 receptor ligand binding site(s).
