The tuberoinfundibular peptide TIP39 [TIP-(1–39)], which exhibits only limited amino acid sequence homology with PTH and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), stimulates cAMP accumulation in cells expressing the PTH2 receptor (PTH2R), but it is inactive at the PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH1R). However, when using either ¹²⁵I-labeled rat [Nle^8,21,Tyr³⁴]PTH-(1–34)amide (rPTH) or ¹²⁵I-labeled human [Tyr³⁶]PTHrP-(1–36)amide [PTHrP-(1–36)] for radioreceptor studies, TIP-(1–39) bound to LLCPK₁ cells stably expressing the PTH1R (HKrk-B7 cells), albeit with weak apparent affinity (243 ± 52 and 210 ± 64 nM, respectively). In comparison to the parent peptide, the apparent binding affinity of TIP-(3–39) was about 3-fold higher, and that of TIP-(9–39) was about 5.5-fold higher. However, despite their improved IC₅₀ values at the PTH1R, both truncated peptides failed to stimulate cAMP accumulation in HKrk-B7 cells. In contrast, the chimeric peptide PTHrP-(1–20)/TIP-(23–39) bound to HKrk-B7 cells with affinities of 31 ± 8.2 and 11 ± 4.0 nM when using radiolabeled rPTH and PTHrP-(1–36), respectively, and it stimulated cAMP accumulation in HKrk-B7 and SaOS-2 cells with potencies (EC₅₀, 1.40 ± 0.3 and 0.38 ± 0.12 nM, respectively) and efficacies (maximum levels, 39 ± 8 and 31 ± 3 pmol/well, respectively) similar to those of PTH-(1–34) and PTHrP-(1–36). In both cell lines, TIP(9–39) and, to a lesser extent, TIP-(1–39) inhibited the actions of the three agonists with efficiencies similar to those of [Leu¹¹,D-Trp¹²,Trp²³,Tyr³⁶]PTHrP-(7–36)amide, an established PTH1R antagonist. Taken together, the currently available data suggest that the carboxyl-terminal portion of TIP-(1–39) interacts efficiently with the PTH1R, at sites identical to or closely overlapping those used by PTH-(1–34) and PTHrP-(1–36). The amino-terminal residues of TIP-(1–39), however, are unable to interact productively with the PTH1R, thus enabling TIP-(1–39) and some of its truncated analogs to function as an antagonist at this receptor.
