    Transformed and bacterially expressed glucocorticoid receptors free from Mr 90,000 heat shock protein (hsp90) have a 100-fold lower steroid-binding affinity than the hsp90-bound nontransformed receptor, suggesting that hsp90 is needed for high-affinity steroid binding [Nemoto, T., Ohara-Nemoto, Y., Denis, M., & Gustafsson, J.-A. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 1880-1886]. To investigate whether or not this phenomenon is common to all steroid receptors, we investigated the steroid-binding affinities of bacterially expressed and transformed androgen receptors. The C-terminal portion of the rat androgen receptor containing the putative steroid-binding domain was expressed as a fusion protein of protein A in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein bound a synthetic androgen, [3H]R1881, with high affinity (Kd = 0.8 +/- 0.3 nM). Glycerol gradient analysis revealed that the recombinant protein sedimented at around the 3S region irrespective of the presence of molybdate, indicating that the receptor is present in monomeric form. The steroid-free transformed androgen receptor was obtained by exposure of rat submandibular gland cytosol to 0.4 M NaCl in the absence of steroid. High-performance ion-exchange liquid chromatography analysis showed that the transformed androgen receptor bound to [3H]R1881 with high affinity. Thus these observations indicate that, in contrast to the glucocorticoid receptor, hsp90 is not required for the high-affinity steroid binding of the androgen receptor. In addition, the hsp90-free androgen receptor prebound with radioinert R1881 was efficiently relabeled with [3H]R1881, while the triamcinolone acetonide-bound, transformed glucocorticoid receptor failed in ligand exchange. The inability to achieve ligand exchange probably reflects the low steroid-binding affinity of this entity.
