Purified receptor-rich membrane fragments (spec. act. 1000 ± 400 nmol3H-labelled α-toxin sites/g protein) fromTorpedo marmoratamake closed vesicles which retain22Na+in free and membrane-bound compartments. Acetylcholine (after blocking acetylcholinesterase with 0.01 mm-Tetram†), carbamylcholine, phenyltrimethylammonium, suberyldicholine and methyldilvasene enhance the release of the free22Na+from these microsacs and the effect of carbamylcholine is blocked byNaja nigricollisα-toxin, d-tubocurarine, flaxedil and hexamethonium. Decamethonium, an agonist onT. marmorataelectroplaque, acts as a competitive antagonist on thisin vitrosystem. Two local anaesthetics, dimethisoquin and SKF-525A block the responsein vitro.Apparentdissociation constants for cholinergic ligands are determined from the dose-response curves. The values of the constants are, for most of them, significantly larger than those measuredin vivowith the electroplaque by following steady-state depolarization in the presence of agonist added in the bath (on the other hand, they coincide rather well with the equilibrium dissociation constants given by direct binding studies with the cholate-solubilized receptor). The real dissociation constants measured with the membrane-bound receptor are close to the apparent ones for all theantagoniststested. However, theagonistsbind at concentrations two orders of magnitude smaller than those necessary to trigger the response.
