Abstrakt: The method of initiating dissociation of 3H-estradiol from the nuclear estrogen receptor of hen oviduct was found to have a profound effect on the dissociation rate. Likewise, prior exposure to charcoal or partial purification by ion-exchange chromatography had an effect on the dissociation rate. When the reaction was initiated by isotopic dilution with the addition of 1 microM unlabeled estradiol, dissociation of the complexes was rapid (t 1/2 approximately 3 min). When the reaction was initiated by the addition of charcoal to adsorb free steroid, the dissociation of the complexes proceeded slowly (t 1/2 approximately 30 min). Partial purification of the receptors by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography or 15 min exposure to charcoal at 0 degree C prior to initiation of the dissociation reaction by isotopic dilution produced a form of the receptor that exhibited an intermediate dissociation rate (t 1/2 approximately 10 min). The partially purified receptor that exhibited an intermediate dissociation rate was reconverted to the rapidly dissociating form in a reconstitution experiment. These data raise the possibility of a nuclear substance that regulates the rates of estrogen dissociation.
