Revised Manuscript Received August 20, 1986 abstract: We investigated the binding characteristics of agonists to a¡-and/3-adrenergic receptors of (a) intact liver cells,(b) brokenrat liver cell membranes, and (c) detergent-solubilized preparations under varying experimental conditions, focusing on the different “states” of the receptor for agonists and the regulation of these states bytemperature and guanine nucleotides. While only low-affinity binding of agonists to both receptor subtypes was evident in studies performed at 37 C with solubilized preparations, biphasic competition curves for agonists were observed in both intact cells and membrane preparations; the majority of sites were of low affinity. In membrane preparations, the nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue Gpp (NH) p caused a rightward shift of agonist competition curves and a loss of high-affinity binding. These results are consistent with the involvement of guanine nucleotide binding proteins in both a¡-and/3-adrenergic transduction pathways. When competition studies were performed at 4 C, receptor sites existed predominantly in the high-affinity configuration, in intact cells and membranes, as well as in soluble preparations. In contrast to the studies conducted at 37 C, no Gpp (NH) p-induced conversion to the lower affinity state could be demonstrated in studies performed with membrane preparationsat 4 C. Thus, the high-affinity state of a,-and/3-ad-renergic receptors is stabilized at 4 C in intact cells, membranes, and soluble preparations. After incubations had been performed at 37 C, high-affinity binding of agonists could not be restored by subsequent incubation at 4 C. As previously reported for the/3-adrenergic receptor [Weiland, G. A., Minnemann, K. P., & Molinoff, P. B.(1979) Nature (London) 281, 114-117], the magnitude of the temperatureshift in agonist affinity correlated with the functional efficacy of adrenergic agents at a¡-adrenergic receptors (agonist> partial agonist> antagonist) and thus seems to reflect an agonist-induced conformational change at the receptor binding site, per se.
