Binding of Ca2+ entry blockers to cardiac sarcolemmal membrane vesicles. Characterization of diltiazem-binding sites and their interaction with dihydropyridine and aralkylamine receptors

ML Garcia, VF King, PK Siegl, JP Reuben and GJ Kaczorowski

Stereospecific saturable and reversible binding of d-cis-diltiazem has been demonstrated in cardiac sarcolemmal membrane vesicles. Analysis of binding by either equilibrium or kinetic techniques indicates the presence of a single class of benzothiazepine receptors which bind diltiazem with a KD of 80 nM at 25 degrees C. Benzothiazepine receptors copurify with other sarcolemmal marker activities and exist in a complex with distinct receptors for dihydropyridine and aralkylamine Ca2+ entry blockers in a 1:1:1 stoichiometry. Ligand binding to one receptor of this complex influences binding reactions at the other two sites in a manner that depends on ambient temperature. Binding of either dihydropyridine agonists or antagonists causes partial inhibition of diltiazem binding at 25 degrees C (Bmax effect), while most dihydropyridine antagonists stimulate and agonists inhibit diltiazem binding at 37 degrees C (both are KD effects). This temperature-dependent change in receptor coupling was confirmed by Scatchard analyses and study of diltiazem dissociation kinetics. Verapamil, interacting at the aralkylamine receptor, inhibits diltiazem binding equivalently at 25 and 37 degrees C (KD effects). In addition, both classes of dihydropyridines inhibit verapamil binding in a temperature-independent fashion, as does diltiazem (all are KD effects). Allosteric coupling between benzothiazepine and dihydropyridine receptors is manifested in cardiac muscle since the negative inotropic potency of diltiazem is increased by nitrendipine and decreased by 4-(O-trifluromethy(phenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-5-nitro-1,4- dihydropyridin e-3- carboxylic acid, methyl ester. These results suggest a model in which the Ca2+ entry blocker receptor complex undergoes a change between 25 and 37 degrees C so that at the latter temperature all sites are directly coupled. Allosteric coupling may have important consequences in vivo since it can be detected in functional assays of Ca2+ channel activity.
