Photoreactive derivatives of the general anesthetic etomidate have been developed to identify their binding sites in gamma-aminobutyric acid, type A and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. One such drug, [H-3]TDBzl-etomidate (4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)3H-diazirin-3-yl]benzyl-[H-3]1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazole-5- carboxylate), acts as a positive allosteric potentiator of Torpedo nACh receptor (nAChR) and binds to a novel site in the transmembrane domain at the gamma-alpha subunit interface. To extend our understanding of the locations of allosteric modulator binding sites in the nAChR, we now characterize the interactions of a second aryl diazirine etomidate derivative, TFD-etomidate (ethyl-1-(1-(4-(3-trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)phenylethyl)1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate). TFD-etomidate inhibited acetylcholine-induced currents with an IC50 = 4 mu M, whereas it inhibited the binding of [H-3]phencyclidine to the Torpedo nAChR ion channel in the resting and desensitized states with IC50 values of 2.5 and 0.7 mM, respectively. Similar to [H-3] TDBzl-etomidate, [H-3]TFD-etomidate bound to a site at the gamma-alpha subunit interface, photolabeling alpha M2-10 (alpha Ser-252) and gamma Met-295 and gamma Met-299 within gamma M3, and to a site in the ion channel, photolabeling amino acids within each subunit M2 helix that line the lumen of the ion channel. In addition, [H-3]TFD-etomidate photolabeled in an agonist-dependent manner amino acids within the delta subunit M2-M3 loop (delta Ile-288) and the delta subunit transmembrane helix bundle (delta Phe-232 and delta Cys-236 within delta M1). The fact that TFD-etomidate does not compete with ion channel blockers at concentrations that inhibit acetylcholine responses indicates that binding to sites at the gamma-alpha subunit interface and/or within delta subunit helix bundle mediates the TFD-etomidate inhibitory effect. These results also suggest that the gamma-alpha subunit interface is a binding site for Torpedo nAChR negative allosteric modulators (TFD-etomidate) and for positive modulators (TDBzl-etomidate).
