ABSTRACT Triiodothyronine (T3) is specifically bound by nuclei from rat liver and kidney. Binding of T3 at 37°C reaches its maximum at 30 min. In the presence of EDTA (to remove Mg2+) T3 binds to a class of binding sites with an estimated equilibrium association constant (Ka) of 3.3 × 1010 m−1 and a maximal binding capacity (MBC) of 3.8 fmol T3/100 μg DNA. In the presence of MgCl2 T3 binds to a second class of binding sites with an estimated Ka of 4.8 × 108 m−1 and a MBC of 123 fmol/100 μg DNA. Among the analogues tested, binding - relative to T3 - of D-T3, triiodothyroacetic acid and desamino-T3 is the same for both classes of binding sites, but relative affinity of thyroxine, D-T4, tetraiodothyroacetic acid and desamino-T4 is 2.5 to 6 times higher for the second class of binding sites than for the first class. The presence of a cytosol binding protein is not a prerequisite for binding of T3 to the nucleus.
