After alkaline extraction, purified subsynaptic fragments isolated from Torpedo electric tissue exhibit on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis predominant peptides of apparent MW 41,000, 50,000 and 65,000 (i.e., the peptides characteristic of the nicotinic receptor purified and isolated in detergent solutions). The peptide of MW 43,000 that was also found in the isolated postsynaptic membranes was recovered in the supernatant after alkaline extraction. The alkaline-extracted membranes were functionally intact, as demonstrated by the following criteria. The kinetics of binding of [3H]acetylcholine in the presence and absence of dimethisoquin were quantitatively unaltered. In the presence of 30 .mu.M carbamoylcholine to occupy acetylcholine binding sites, [14C]meproadifen [2-(diethylmethylaminoethyl)-2,2-diphenylvalerate iodide] was bound with a Kd of 0.3 .+-. 0.1 .mu.M to 0.3 .+-. 0.1 site per [3H].alpha.-toxin site. This binding was displaced by perhydrohistrionicotoxin. The carbamoylcholine-stimulated efflux of 22Na+ from the Torpedo vesicles were preserved after alkaline extraction. The acetylcholine binding site and the local anesthetic binding site must be associated with the peptides of the cholinergic receptor itself and not that of MW 43,000. Those peptides remaining after alkaline extraction were also sufficient for permeability control.
