Most general anesthetics including long chain
aliphatic alcohols act as noncompetitive antagonists of the nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). To locate the sites of
interaction of a long chain alcohol with the Torpedo nAChR,
we have used the photoactivatible alcohol
3-[3H]azioctanol, which inhibits the nAChR and
photoincorporates into nAChR subunits. At 1 and 275 µM,
3-[3H]azioctanol photoincorporated into nAChR subunits
with increased incorporation in the -subunit in the desensitized
state. The incorporation into the -subunit was mapped to two large
proteolytic fragments. One fragment of ~20 kDa ( V8-20), containing
the M1, M2, and M3 transmembrane segments, showed enhanced
incorporation in the presence of agonist whereas the other of ~10 kDa
( V8-10), containing the M4 transmembrane segment, did not show
agonist-induced incorporation of label. Within V8-20, the primary
site of incorporation was Glu-262 at the C-terminal end of
M2, labeled preferentially in the desensitized state. The
incorporation at Glu-262 approached saturation between 1 µM, with ~6% labeled, and 275 µM, with
~30% labeled. Low level incorporation was seen in residues at the
agonist binding site and the protein-lipid interface at ~1% of the
levels in Glu-262. Therefore, the primary binding site of
3-azioctanol is within the ion channel with additional lower affinity
interactions within the agonist binding site and at the protein-lipid interface.
