1 Recent studies have identified the [H-3]-gabapentin-binding protein, purified from porcine cerebral cortical membranes, as the alpha(2) delta subunit of voltage-sensitive calcium channels (Gee et al., 1996). The present study investigates the influence of the polyamine spermine on specific [H-3]-gabapentin binding to detergent-solubilized porcine cerebral cortical membranes.2 Spermine, spermidine, 1,10 diaminodecane, Mg2+ and Zn2+, all divalent cations, displaced [H-3]gabapentin binding to detergent-solubilized membranes in a concentration-dependent manner with a maximal inhibition of 65-75%. Radioligand binding studies showed that spermine did not directly interact with the [H-3]-gabapentin-binding site. Spermine inhibited [H-3]-gabapentin binding by interacting with a polyamine-sensitive allosteric site on the membrane protein. The steep concentration-dependence of spermine inhibition of [H-3]-gabapentin binding may suggest multi-site co-operativity.3 Prolonged dialysis of cerebral cortical membranes and Tween 20-solubilized membranes resulted in a >2.0 fold increase in [H-3]-gabapentin binding. The increase in binding was due to the removal of a heat stable, low molecular weight (
