Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I exhibit a set of non-classical receptor binding properties suggestive of negative co-operativity or site-site interactions between the two receptor halves: curvilinear Scatchard plots, acceleration of dissociation of bound labelled ligand at high dilution in the presence of unlabelled ligand. The alpha(2) beta(2) receptor dimer binds only one ligand molecule with high affinity. The dose-response curve for the acceleration of I-125-insulin by unlabelled insulin is bell-shaped, with a disappearance of the negative co-operativity at insulin concentrations over 0.1 mu mol/l. This phenomenon had been attributed to insulin dimerization, but new data with non-dimerizing analogues and insulins modified at the hexamer-forming surface indicate the presence of a second binding site on the insulin molecule's hexamer face. This site binds to a second domain on the receptor. A new binding model for insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I is proposed where the bivalent ligand bridges the two receptor alpha subunits alternatively at opposite sites in a symmetrical receptor structure. The implications of the model for negative co-operativity, bell-shaped biological curves, and the divergence between mitogenic and metabolic signalling are discussed in the context of the evolution of the properties of insulin and insulinlike growth factor-I.
