Identification of Sites of Incorporation in the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor of a Photoactivatible General Anesthetic*

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 alpha -subunit in the desensitized state. The incorporation into the alpha -subunit was mapped to two large proteolytic fragments. One fragment of ~20 kDa (alpha V8-20), containing the M1, M2, and M3 transmembrane segments, showed enhanced incorporation in the presence of agonist whereas the other of ~10 kDa (alpha V8-10), containing the M4 transmembrane segment, did not show agonist-induced incorporation of label. Within alpha V8-20, the primary site of incorporation was alpha Glu-262 at the C-terminal end of alpha M2, labeled preferentially in the desensitized state. The incorporation at alpha 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 alpha 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.
