Turkey erythrocyte membranes showed specific binding of [(3)H]epinephrine. The concentration of hormone required for half-maximal binding (30 muM) was the same as that required for half-maximal activation of the adenylate cyclase located in the same membrane preparation. The binding reaction at 37 degrees C reached completion during the first minute of incubation, which agrees well with the known rapidity of the biological response to catecholamines. Specific binding was abolished by heating the membranes 1 min at 100 degrees C. Chromatography of the bound (3)H, after its extraction from the membranes, indicated that the hormone had fully retained its chemical structure. Epinephrine binding was inhibited by the beta-adrenergic blocking agent propranolol, which also inhibited the activation of adenylate cyclase by the hormone. The specificity of phenethylamine derivatives in displacing [(3)H]epinephrine from the binding sites showed that a typical catecholamine receptor was responsible for the binding. Displacement of the bound hormone by analogs lacking the catechol group was more extensive at 37 degrees C than at 0 degrees C. Some of the analogs that displaced epinephrine from the binding site caused only a feeble activation of the adenylate cyclase, but were able to inhibit the activation of the enzyme by epinephrine. Thus, binding to a catecholamine receptor on a membrane preparation is an essential, but insufficient, condition to elicit a response.
