Isolated rat fat cells were used as a cellular model. The A1 receptors of these cells were covalently labeled with the agonist photoaffinity label R-2-azido-N6-p-hydroxyphenylisopropyladenosine. The covalent incorporation of the label into the binding subunit of the receptor was verified by demonstration of specific labeling of a peptide with Mr = 35,000 by the radioiodinated label. Such covalent labeling followed by removal of label not covalently bound led to a concentration-dependent reduction of cellular cAMP levels. This persistent effect of covalent labeling occurred with an IC50 value of 9 nM compared to an IC50 value of 0.9 nM for the direct reduction of cAMP levels by the label. The affinity of the label was determined in binding experiments. The Ki value of 19 nM was about 20 times higher than the corresponding IC50 value of cAMP reduction. Finally, the comparison between covalent binding and its effects suggests that covalently labeled receptors were fully activated. The data are interpreted as evidence for a receptor activation according to the occupancy theory. The analysis of the various concentration-response curves reveals the presence of spare receptors, which can be demonstrated by the method of agonist photoaffinity labeling.
