The ability of the delta opioid agonist DPDPE
([D-Pen2,D-Pen4]enkephalin)
to stimulate binding of the GTP analog
guanosine-5
-O-(3-[35S]thio)triphosphate
([35S]GTP
S) to pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins
has been characterized in membranes from NG108-15 mouse neuroblastoma
X rat glioma cells. The presence of GDP, or its hydrolysis-resistant
analog GDP
S, and Mg++ ions was essential to observe
agonist-mediated stimulation of [35S]GTP
S binding,
although the guanine dinucleotides alone had complex inhibitory and
stimulatory effects on [35S]GTP
S binding. The relative
ability of the delta antagonists benzylidenenaltrexone
and naltriben to inhibit DPDPE-stimulated [35S]GTP
S
binding suggested the opioid receptor involved was of the
delta-2 subtype. Ligand binding assays demonstrated
biphasic binding of these antagonists to this single receptor
type. [35S]GTP
S binding was also stimulated by
[D-Ser2,Leu5,Thr6]enkephalin > deltorphin II = DPDPE = etorphine > levallorphan = diprenorphine = nalorphine = naltrindole.
The delta antagonists benzylidenenaltrexone, TIPP
(Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe) and naltriben had no effect, but ICI 174864 (N,N-diallyl-Tyr-Aib-Phe-Leu-OH) acted as an inverse agonist and
inhibited [35S]GTP
S binding. Pertussis toxin
pretreatment blocked agonist stimulation of [35S]GTP
S
binding and also reduced basal binding, thus confirming the presence of
constitutively active delta receptors. Replacement of
Na+ in the assay buffer with K+ afforded an
increased level of basal [35S]GTP
S binding and an
apparent increase in both the inverse agonist activity of ICI 174864 and the agonist activity of the partial agonist diprenorphine relative
to the full agonist
[D-Ser2,Leu5,Thr6]enkephalin.
The stimulation of [35S]GTP
S binding to NG108-15 cell
membranes allows a functional measure of delta opioid
activity that can provide systems of differing relative efficacy.
