Binding of125I-[Nle15]gastrin to albumin purified from porcine serum, from porcine gastric mucosal cytosol, and from bovine serum has been demonstrated by covalent cross-linking and ultracentrifugation. Binding was enhanced in the presence of Zn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, and Cd2+, but not Ca2+, Mg2+, or Mn2+. The best fit to the binding data for bovine serum albumin was obtained with a model assuming two nonequivalent binding sites. The affinity of both sites for gastrin was increased in the presence of 100 μmZn2+or Ni2+ions. The highest association constant observed was 2.3 × 105m−1in the presence of 100 μmZn2+ions. The similarity of the Zn2+-dependence of binding for bovine and porcine serum albumins, despite the replacement of His3 by Tyr, suggested that the N-terminal metal ion-binding site was not involved. Although all gastrin affinities were reduced by 50% in the presence of 150 mmNaCl, the Zn2+-dependence of binding was retained. We therefore propose that the ternary complex of gastrin, Zn2+ions, and albumin may play a physiological role in the serum transport of Zn2+ions and in the uptake of Zn2+ions from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.
