Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, and Departments of Physiology and Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, California 94143 Received July 23, 1985 abstract: The receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was identified inrat liver plasma membranes after covalent cross-linking to 125I-VIP by three different agents [disuccinimido dithiobis (propionate), disuccinimido suberate, and succinimido 4-azidobenzoate] and examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide electrophoresis. Regardless of the presence of reducing conditions, two molecular species of the putative VIP binding unit were identified as broad autoradiographic bands of 80 000 and 56 000 daltons (Da). Both the largeand small species showed the same high affinity for 125I-VIP binding and subsequent cross-linking (half-maximal inhibition at 3 nM unlabeled VIP). The 80-kDa species was partially converted to the 56-kDa form by denaturing conditions and was extensively degraded when incubated at 20 C for 30 min with 1 pg/mL chymotrypsin, trypsin, or elastase tofragments that migrated similarly to the 56-kDa unit. In contrast, the 56-kDa moiety was resistant to attack by serine proteases. Both the 80-and 56-kDa species were microheterogeneous due at least in part to the presence of carbohydrate chains, each species binding fractionally to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-agarose (~ 50%). The WGA-bound fraction (eluted with A'-acetylglucosamine) was relatively retarded on acrylamide gels as compared to the WGA-unbound fraction. Exposure of the 80-and56-kDa species toendo-/3-acetylglucosaminidase F reduced the apparent molecular mass of each by 19 kDa, indicating the presence of complex N-linked carbohydratechains. The receptor species do not appearto have high-mannose N-linked chains since they did not interact with concanavalin A and were not cleaved by endo-/3-acetylglucosaminidase H. The125I-VIP-labeled receptor was readily solubilized with 1% Triton X-100 and eluted from Fractogel55F as a 200-kDa unit and a 47-kDa nonglycosylated fragment that was an artifact of the solubilization process. Both the 80-and 56-kDa species were components of the solubilized receptor. The hepatic VIP receptor appears to be a large glycoprotein probably consisting of one or more 77-kDa units (80 kDa less the mass of the cross-linked VIP), 19 kDa of which is accounted for by complex N-linked carbohydrate chains. This VIP binding unit is complexed noncovalently either with itself or with one or more modifying subunits. A smaller 53-kDa moiety, though possibly a true companion to the larger binding subunit, is more likely to be a partially degraded form of the receptor. The hepatic VIP receptor is structurally distinct both from the hepatic glucagon receptor and from the VIP receptors in the intestinal enterocyte and in human lymphoblasts.Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), 1 a neurotransmitter and hormone, has widespread actions on many tissues. Commensurate with this ubiquitous role, VIP receptors have been identified in the gastrointestinal tract (salivary gland, gastric smooth muscle, gastric cells, intestinal epithelial cells, pan-creatic acini and islets), the central nervous system, the lung, the heart, the blood vessels, the uterine smooth muscle, the adrenal gland, the retina, the adipocytes, and different types of lymphocytes (Said, 1984). In the gastrointestinal system, VIP acts on smooth muscle to influence motility and induces secretion of intestinal and pancreatic fluid and electrolytes. The physiologic role of VIP in the liver is uncertain. While early evidence suggested a …
