We have compared the ability of glucagon and three highly purified derivatives of the hormone to activate hepatic adenylate cyclase (an expression of biologicalactiv-ity of the hormone) and to compete with [125] glucagon for binding to sites specificfor glucagon in hepatic plasma membranes. Relative to that of glucagon, biological activity and affinity of [des-Asn28, Thr29](homoserine lactone27)-glucagon, prepared by CNBr treatment of glucagon, were reduced equally by 40-to 50-fold. By contrast, des-His’-glucagon, prepared by an insoluble Edman reagent and highly purified (less than 0.5% contamination with native glucagon), displayed a 15-fold decrease in affinity but a 50-fold decrease in biological activity relative to that of the native hormone. At maximal stimulating concentrations, X he first event in the cascade of reactions leading to hor-mone response is the interaction of the hormone with its recognition site termed the “receptor”. It is commonly as-sumed that binding of the hormone to the receptor induces certain transformations in the responding system. Studies of the structural requirements for hormonal recognition and action should provide further understanding of the mechanism of hormone action.
