Lawrence Fox, § and Jon Lindstrom**’1 The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, San Diego, California 92138, Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, North Chicago, Illinois 60064, and Departement de Biologie, CEN Saclay, 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex, France Received December 11, 1986 abstract: Synthetic peptides corresponding to 57% of the sequence of a subunits of acetylcholine receptors from Torpedo californica electric organand extending from the NH2 to the COOCH terminus have been synthesized. The a-bungarotoxin binding site on denatured a subunits was mapped within the sequence al85-199 by assaying binding of 125I-a-bungarotoxin to slot blots of synthetic peptides. Further studies showed that residues in the sequence al90-194, especially cysteines-al92, 193, were critical for binding a-bungarotoxin. Reduction and alkylation studies suggested that these cysteines must be disulfide linked for a-bungarotoxinto bind. Binding sites for serum antibodies to native receptors or a subunits were mapped by indirect immunoprecipitation of 125I-peptides. Several antigenic sequences were identified, but a synthetic peptide corresponding to the main immunogenic region (which is highly conformation dependent) was not identified.
