Abstract
A novel NADPH-dependent cytosolic 3,5,3''-tritodo-L-thyronine (T3)-binding protein (CTBP) was purified by sequential fractionation of rat liver cytosol on Q-Sepharose, phenyl-Sepharose, red-Sepharose, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions. The CTBP had a sedimentation coefficient of 5.1S, a Stokes radius of 35 Å, and a calculated mol wt of 76,000. The apparently homogenous protein consisted of a dimer of a polypeptide chain with a mol wt of 38,000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. NADPH increased both the affinity and maximal binding capacity for T3 in the 5.1S CTBP, The maximal activity to bind T3 was obtained by 3.0 x 10-8 M NADPH. The calculated maximal affinity constant was 2.4 x 109 M-1, and the maximal binding capacity was 21,000 pmol T3/mg 5.1S CTBP. The order of affinity of iodothyronine analogs to the S.lS CTBP was as follows: D-T3 > L-T3 > t,-T4 > triiodothyroacetic acid. The optimal pH for T3 binding was 7.2- 7.5. Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+ (0.1–10 mM) did not influence T3 binding to CTBP. Zn2+ (1.0 mM), however, inhibited the binding. These results suggested that 5.1S NADPH-dependent CTBP, which is distnct from 4.7S CTBP that had been purified in our laboratory from rat kidney, is present in rat liver.
