Anne C. Moore, 1 William S. Agnew, § and Michael A. Raftery* abstract: Biochemical properties of a detergent-solubilized tetrodotoxin binding component from Electrophorus electricus have been examined and compared with those found for the membrane-bound protein. The toxin binding component was solubilized with high efficiency by a variety of nonionic de-tergents and with lower efficiency by sodium cholate and deoxycholate. Detergent-solubilized preparations bound tet-rodotoxin and saxitoxin tightly and specifically, and this binding was observed to be rapidly and irreversibly blocked by carboxylate-modifying reagents. Inactivation by carbodiimide and glycine ester or by a trimethyloxonium salt could be prevented by tetrodotoxin occupancy of the binding site. Tetrodotoxin binding activity in both solubilized preparations and in membranes was found to be highly resistant to pro-variety of approaches are being used to characterize the molecular structures and mechanisms which confer on the membranes of nerve and muscle cells the property of electrical excitability. Although the biophysical description of the propagated action potential has become quite detailed [for reviews, see Armstrong (1975), Landowne et al.(1975), Ul-bricht (1977), and Hille (1978)], the molecular nature of the phenomenological channels which are responsible has yet to be firmly established. We report here results from continuing studies on the biochemical isolation and characterization of a voltage-sensitive sodium conductance channel of the type responsible for the early sodium currents of the action po-tential.We have used two highly specific neurotoxins, tetrodotoxin (TTX) 1 and saxitoxin (STX) as biochemical markers for the quantitation of the channel. The properties and specificities of TTX and STX have been extensively reviewed (Hille, 1978; Ritchie & Rogart, 1977). These moleculesbind in a reversible manner, with mutual competition, and with high affinity {K¿= 1-10 nM) to a single class of sites accessible from theoutside of the cell membrane (Narahashi et al., 1967; Hille, 1968, 1975a, b; Cuervo & Adelman, 1970; Ulbricht & Wagner, 1975). Apparently the toxins block the sodium ion permeation pathway without affecting thestructures involved in channel gating (Armstrong & Bezanilla, 1973, 1974; Keynes & Rojas, 1974). Comparison of data from physiological studies with those from binding studies has provided strong evidence that the toxins bind only to the physiologically defined sodium channel (Ritchie & Rogart, 1977). Datafrom dose-response experiments (Hille, 1970) and from fluctuation analysis (Sigworth, 1980) suggest that TTX and STX bind with a
