Abstract
We have incubated cells from controls and subjects with receptor-defective androgen resistance with 3H-labelled testosterone (T), methyltrienolone (MT), dihydrotestos-terone (DHT) or mibolerone (MB) and studied the temperature dependance of the dissociation rate constants of these various androgen-receptor (A-R) complexes both within cells and after they were extracted from them. In control cells, Arrhenius plots for T-, MT-, DHT- and MB-R complexes were linear and formed a hierarchy of dissociation states with energies of state IV > III > II > I, respectively. Relative to this hierarchy, the dissociation states of the MB-, DHT- and MT-R complexes in mutant cells were displaced to higher, androgen-inappropriate energies in a mutant-distinctive pattern. When extracted from cells control or mutant T- or MT-R complexes, and mutant (but not control) DHT- or MB-R complexes lowered their respective dissociation rates by undergoing state transitions in conformity with the hierarchy. Hence we propose that different A-R complexes reach different dissociative states by undergoing sequential transitions along a common pathway, and that these transitions are co-regulated both by the chemical characteristics of the bound androgen and by other cellular non-receptor factors.
