Popis: The effect of (D-Ala, D-Leu) enkephalin (DADLE) on the binding of GTP in hippocampal preparations was studied. It was observed that treatment of hippocampal slices with 10 −5 −5×10 −5 M DADLE followed by the preparation of membrane fractions reduced the binding of 35 S-GTP-γ-S. There was no change in the affinity of the binding. This decrease of 35 S-GTP-γ-S binding was reversed when 5×10 −5 M naltrindole was included. The effect was not observed when the membrane fractions were incubated with DADLE. Photoaffinity labeling with the use of 32 P P3-(4-azidoanilido) -P1 5' -GTP followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polycrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography revealed the incorporation of radioactivity into molecular mass of the 43 kDa and 33–34 kDa proteins. 32 P Photolabeling of both the 43 kDa and 33–34 kDa bands decreased following treatment of hippocampal slices with 10 −4 M DADLE. These results suggested that DADLE reduces the GDP-GTP exchange in hippocampal membranes.
