The mutual effects that a hormonal ligand (H) and a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (G protein) exert on each other when simultaneously occupying distinct sites of the receptor molecule (R) can be viewed as the molecular mechanism of drug efficacy. These effects are predictable on the basis of a model assuming that the ternary complex between the three partners (HRG) reaches equilibrium in the membrane [J. Biol. Chem. 255:7108-7117 (1980)]. Ligands can be classified as agonists, neutral antagonists, or negative antagonists, depending on whether they enhance, leave unchanged, or reduce, respectively, the spontaneous tendency of R to interact with G. Using this model and the assumption that the G protein response observed in membranes reflects the sum of ligand-independent (RG) and ligand-dependent (HRG) receptor-G protein complexes, we can explain virtually all the phenomenology reported earlier for opioid receptor-mediated stimulation of GTPase, i.e., 1) existence of ligands with both "positive" and "negative" intrinsic activity (the latter termed negative antagonists), 2) equipotency of neutral antagonists for the competitive blockade of the responses elicited both by agonists and by negative antagonists, and 3) apparent heterogeneity of binding sites for the binding isotherms of negative antagonists. The ternary complex model can also explain the differential effects of sodium on ligand binding and ligand-dependent GTPase activity, if we assume that this ion reduces the stability constant between receptor and G protein in membranes. Computer simulations predict that a negative antagonist exhibits a discrepancy between "biological" Ki (obtained by Schild plots) and true dissociation constant for the receptor, which increases as the fraction of "precoupled" receptors in the membrane increases. The demonstration of negative antagonism is definitive evidence for the existence of receptor coupling (hence activity) in the absence of ligand. Using this experimental paradigm, we show here that spontaneous receptor activity occurs in isolated membranes but not in intact NG108-15 cells.
