To characterize a receptor for molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) in the kuruma prawn, Marsupenaeus japonicus, we performed a binding assay and chemical cross-linking experiments using radiolabeled recombinant MIH ([(125)I]rMIH). The specific binding of [(125)I]rMIH was found in the membrane fraction of the Y-organ (K(d) = 4.76 x 10(-10) M and B(max) = 5.51 x 10(-12) M). Chemical cross-linking between [(125)I]rMIH and the membrane fraction of the Y-organ revealed that the MIH receptor protein has a molecular size of approximately 70 kDa.
为了鉴定日本对虾(Marsupenaeus japonicus)中蜕皮抑制激素(MIH)的受体,我们使用放射性标记的重组MIH([(125)I]rMIH)进行了结合试验和化学交联实验。在Y器官的膜部分发现了[(125)I]rMIH的特异性结合(解离常数K(d) = 4.76 x 10(-10) M,最大结合量B(max) = 5.51 x 10(-12) M)。[(125)I]rMIH与Y器官膜部分之间的化学交联显示,MIH受体蛋白的分子大小约为70 kDa。
