Abstract
The effects of Ca2+ ions on 3H-RO 5-4864 binding to the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor were examined. Preincubation of rat kidney membranes with Ca2+ at 37 degrees C produced a dose-dependent inhibition of 3H-RO 5-4864 binding. No inhibition was observed in membranes preincubated at 0 degrees C. The effect of Ca2+ was competitive in nature and was fully reversed by the addition of EGTA. At 1 mM, the maximal effect was achieved with CaCl2, whereas CoCl2 and CdCl2 had lesser effects. No other divalent cation salts examined decreased 3H-RO 5-4864 binding to rat kidney membranes. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the affinity of 3H-RO 5-4864 binding to rat kidney membranes is regulated by Ca2+ and suggest the presence of cation recognition binding sites coupled to the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor.
