Stanley W. Halvorsen and Neil M. Nathanson* abstract: Atria isolated from 4-day chick embryos were much less responsive to the negativechronotropic effect of muscarinic agonists than were atria from 5-or 8-day embryos, even though the density of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) was similar at all these ages. The mAChR in hearts from 4-dayembryos were also significantly less susceptible to regulation of receptor number by in vivo agonist treatment and required a 2-5-fold greater dose of the muscarinic agonist carbachol to achieve a decrease in receptor number equivalent to that observed in 5-or 8-day embryonic hearts. When 4-day atrial membranes were assayed in physiological buffers, agonist binding to the mAChR was not regulated by GTP unless a sulfhydryl reducingagent was present. Receptors from 5-and 8-day embryos did not require addition of a sulfhydryl reducing agent in order to see guanine nucleotide effects on agonist binding. Even in the presence of a sulfhydryl reducing agent, carbachol binding to the mAChR in 4-day membranes was much less sensitive to guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphateAcetylcholine is released from parasympathetic nerve endings in theheart and upon binding to the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (s)(mAChR) 1 on the cardiac muscle mem-brane results in a decrease in the rate and force of contraction. mAChR-mediated slowing of the pacemaker firing rate in the sinus node of the atrium is due to an increased outward K+ current (Hutter, 1957) and may also be influenced by a de-creased slow inward Ca2+/Na+ current independent of effects on K+ conductance (Giles & Noble, 1976). However, there is no direct evidence that the mAChR itself functions as an ionophore, and the molecular mechanisms responsible for the coupling of mAChR activation to these physiological effects remain unclear.
