Insulin receptors (IRs) that are truncated at the end of the ectodomain form dimers that hind insulin with different characteristics to wild type receptors, These soluble IRs have lowered affinity for insulin compared with full-length IR, and exhibit linear Scatchard plots in contrast to the curvilinear plots obtained with full-length IR, IR truncated at the C-terminus of the transmembrane region and IR ectodomains fused to the self-associating constant domains from Pc or lambda immunoglobulins. In this report, we have fused the 1R ectodomain to the 33 residue leucine zipper from the transcriptional activator GCN4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This fusion protein binds insulin with high affinity in a manner comparable to native receptor. The respective dissociation constants were K-d1 8.2 x 10(-11) M and K-d2 1.6 x 10(-8) M for hlRedZip and K-d1 5.7 x 10(-11) and K-d2 6.3 x 10(-9) M for membrane-anchored, native receptor.
