摘要：The structural relationship between several lipids and their respective capacities to inhibit the specific binding of [3H]-1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 to chick intestinal cytosol preparations was investigated. The lipids investigated were: synthetic 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine and 3-sn-phosphatidic acid, egg yolk 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine and its corresponding phosphatidic acid, and free unsaturated fatty acids and their esters. The results indicate that at least three structural elements in the phospholipid molecule appear to be important; these are: 1) the structure of the fatty acid, 2) the anionic properties of the phospholipid phosphate group, and 3) the glycerol phosphate portion of the molecule. Our data also demonstrate that the position (1 or 2) and the amount (single vs. double) of unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid molecule do not play a major role in the receptor-1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 interaction. Furthermore, under equilibrium conditions, kinetic and Scatchard analysis suggest that phospholipids or free fatty acids may bind at a site different from the 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 binding site, and therefore inhibit the hormone binding via a noncompetitive conformational change in the receptor molecule. A model for this phospholipid/free fatty acid binding site is proposed.
