We and others have recently shown that amino terminal sequences of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP), which share a 62% homology within the first 13 residues, bind to the same receptor on ROS 17/2.8 cells. The remaining PTHrP sequence is markedly different from PTH, suggesting that receptor binding may be dependent on the first 13 amino acids of either peptide. However, since the amino acid residues 14-34 have previously been recognized as an important binding domain for PTH, conformational similarity within this portion's secondary structure of both peptides could contribute to their capacity to bind to the same receptor. To test this hypothesis, we synthesized [Tyr36,Cys38]PTHrP-(14-38) and [Tyr34]bPTH(14-34)NH2, and studied binding of both peptides to the common PTH/PTHrP receptor on ROS 17/2.8 cells. Radioiodinated, HPLC-purified [Nle8,18, Tyr34]bPTH(1-34)NH2 (NlePTH) and [Tyr36]PTHrP-(1-36)NH2 were used to functionally define receptor binding requirements. [Tyr36,Cys38]PTHrP(14-38) and [Tyr34]bPTH(14-34)NH2 competed with 125I- NlePTH for binding sites on ROS 17/2.8 cells with apparent Kds of 10 microM and 50 microM respectively. Both peptides also competed with 125I-[Tyr36]PTHrP(1-36)NH2 with apparent Kds of 30 microM and 10 microM respectively. In the same assay system, NlePTH and [Tyr36,Cys38]PTHrP(1- 38)inhibited binding of either radioiodinated ligand with apparent Kds of 0.3 and 1.0 nM. These studies indicate that although [Tyr34]bPTH(14- 34)NH2 and [Tyr36,Cys38]PTHrP(14-38) share virtually no sequence homology, their secondary structures must be sufficiently similar to permit binding to a common PTH/PTHrP receptor.
