William J. Gullick, Socrates Tzartos, and Jon Lindstrom* abstract: The isolated subunits of the acetylocholine receptor from Torpedo californica were digested with proteolytic en-zymes, and the resulting polypeptide fragments were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. We have identified those fragments which contain carbohydrate and those from the a subunit which are labeled with the acetylcholine binding site specific reagent [4-(Ar-maleimido) benzyl] tri [3H] methylammonium iodide. We have tested several monoclonal antibodies raised to the acetylcholine receptor from torpedo, some of which react with the denatured subunits [Tzartos, S. J., & Lindstrom, J. M.(1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 755; Tzartos, S. J., & Lindstrom, J. M.(1981) in Monclonal Antibodies in Endocrine Research (Fellows, R., & Eisenbarth, G., Eds.) Raven Press (in press)]. The binding specificities of these-Axetylcholine receptor (AcChR) 1 from the electric organ of Torpedo californica consists of fourglycoprotein subunits in the ratio a2Py8 (Reynolds & Karlin, 1978; Lindstrom et al., 1979a; Raftery et al., 1980). The apparent molecular weights of these subunits depend on the electrophoresis system and standards employed but are about 40000, 50000, 57 000, and 64000, respectively (Weill et al., 1974; Raftery et al., 1975; Hucho et al., 1978; Chang & Bock, 1977; Lindstrom et al., 1978, 1979a; Froehner & Rafto, 1979). Within the 250000 molecular weight monomer(Martinez-Carrion et al.,
