Kainate receptors are present in high concentrations in goldfish brain (Henley and Oswald, 1988a and b; Ziegra et al., 1990), possibly in neuronal and glial cells. In a number of systems, the kainate receptor has been assumed to be an integral ion channel (Watkins and Evans, 1981); but, for some kainate receptors, ion channel activity has not been demonstrated (Wada et al., 1989). This study presents evidence that a portion of the [3H]kainate-binding sites in goldfish brain is sensitive to guanine nucleotides, with a loss of high affinity binding in the presence of nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs. Pertussis toxin pretreatment of membranes causes a loss of high affinity [3H]kainate binding and of the guanine nucleotide-sensitive binding. Pertussis toxin catalyzes the specific [32P]ADP-ribosylation of a 40-kDa substrate in a kainate-sensitive manner. In addition, incorporation of [alpha-32P]GTP-gamma-azidoanilide by photoaffinity labeling was enhanced in the presence of kainate. These results indicate that a subpopulation of [3H]kainate-binding sites in goldfish brain may be coupled to G proteins.
