The presence of a divalent cation is essential for the specific binding of [3H]oxytocin to particulate receptor preparations of the mammary gland of the lactating rat. Oxytocin binding was potentiated in increasing order by divalent Zn, Mg, Ni, Mn and Co, but was negligible in the presence of divalent Ca, Cu and Fe. The apparent Ka values for oxytocin/receptor interaction in the presence of optimal concn. of metal ions ranged from 3.1 to 8.6 X 108 M-1. The metal ions did not affect site-site interactions among oxytocin receptors, as evidenced by linear Scatchard plots, Hill coeff. of 1, and the lack of effect of unbound oxytocin on the dissociation rate constant of the oxytocin/receptor complex. The kinetics of the association and dissociation of the hormone/receptor complex showed a fast step for the binding of metal ion followed by a slow rate-determining step for the binding of oxytocin. The active divalent metal ions appeared to affect oxytocin binding by 2 separate processes; (a) increasing concn. of divalent Ni, Mg and Mn caused an increase in the concn. of binding sites available for oxytocin, while the affinity for the hormone was not changed; (b) increasing amounts of Co increased the affinity of the receptor site for oxytocin, but did not affect the concn. of sites available for oxytocin binding. Because combinations of max. concn. of both types of metal ions were not additive with respect to the concn. and affinity of oxytocin-binding sites, metal ions appear to bind to identical sites.
