| Abstract | The interaction of an optically pure benzomorphan opiate, (-)-N-allyl-N-normetazocine [(-)-ANMC], with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo electroplaque was studied by using radioligand binding and affinity labeling. The binding was complex with at least two specific components having equilibrium dissociation constants of 0.3 microM and 2 microM. The affinity of the higher affinity component was decreased by carbamoylcholine but not by alpha-bungarotoxin. The effect of carbamoylcholine was not blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin. In comparison, the affinity of [3H]phencyclidine, a well-characterized ligand for a high-affinity site for noncompetitive blockers on the acetylcholine receptor, is increased by carbamoylcholine and the increase is blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin. The binding of (-)-[3H]ANMC was inhibited by a number of other benzomorphans, with (-) isomers being 4- to 5-fold more potent than (+) isomers. Phencyclidine inhibits the binding of (-)-[3H]ANMC to its high-affinity site by a mechanism that is not competitive. UV-catalyzed affinity labeling indicated that the high-affinity-binding site for (-)-[3H]ANMC is at least partially associated with the delta subunit. Tryptic degradation of the Torpedo marmorata delta chain suggested that (-)-ANMC labeled a 16,000-dalton COOH-terminal portion of the subunit. In contrast, 5-azido-[3H]trimethisoquin, a photoaffinity label of the high-affinity site for noncompetitive blockers, labels a 47,000-dalton NH2-terminal fragment of the delta subunit. These results suggest that (-)-[3H]ANMC binds to sites completely distinct from the binding sites for acetylcholine. The high-affinity-binding site for (-)-ANMC and that for phencyclidine and 5-azidotrimethisoquin are allosterically coupled but are regulated differently and are probably physically distinct. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
