A new method is described in which the cell surface insulin receptor can be radioactively tagged in a specific manner with a small insulin-free probe. After protecting the amino groups of insulin essential for binding and bio-activity, insulin is coupled to the heterobifunctional, cleavable cross-linking reagent SASD (sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate), via displacement of the N-hydroxysuccinimide moiety of SASD. Removal of the protecting groups results in the formation of 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate (ASD)-insulin with insulin receptor binding activity equivalent to unmodified insulin. Iodination of ASD-insulin results in the incorporation of 125I into both the azidohydroxybenzoyl moiety of SASD and a tyrosine residue of insulin. Following binding of 125I-ASD-insulin to intact monolayers of 3T3-C2 cells, radiolabel is incorporated exclusively into a 135-kDa protein in a manner dependent upon the length of exposure of the cells to short wavelength ultraviolet light. This protein corresponds in molecular weight to the alpha subunit of the insulin receptor. Labeling of this protein can be inhibited by excess unlabeled insulin. Reduction of the disulfide bond of ASD with 10 mM glutathione causes the release of the 125I-insulin portion of the reagent from the receptor complex, with the iodinated photoactivated end of ASD covalently attached to the receptor. Insulin receptor labeled in this manner retains its ability to bind insulin. General metabolic processes of the intact cells do not appear to be perturbed by this labeling procedure, and the cellular processing of the insulin receptor does not appear to be modified by the covalent labeling of the receptor protein. This procedure therefore provides a way to specifically label the cell surface insulin receptor in a manner which does not perturb the normal functioning of the labeled cell and equally importantly, does not perturb the normal cellular processing of the insulin receptor itself. 相似文献

The possible self-association of tissue factor molecules was investigated by treating cells expressing tissue factor with bifunctional cross-linking agents. The two reagents chosen were 3,3'-dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidylpropionate) and sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate, both of which are membrane-impermeable and thiol-cleavable. A human bladder carcinoma cell line, J82, and a transfected human kidney cell line expressing high amounts of recombinant tissue factor were used in these studies. Exposure of the intact cells to the crosslinking reagents was found to result in the formation of multimeric tissue factor-containing complexes, the extent of which appeared to be dependent upon the amount of tissue factor expressed by the cell. The self-association of tissue factor was prevented in a variant tissue factor molecule harboring a non-homologous transmembrane domain. 相似文献

The Ca(2+)-independent endocytic hyaluronan (HA) receptor in rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LECs) was identified using a novel cross-linking derivative of HA. The heterobifunctional, photoactivatable, reducible reagent sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate (SASD) was coupled to the terminal amino group of uniquely modified HA-amine oligosaccharides (M(r) approximately 60,000) and subsequently iodinated. 125I-ASD-HA bound to cultured LECs with similar specificity and affinity as a previously characterized 125I-HA-amine/Bolton-Hunter adduct. Permeabilized LECs were incubated with 125I-ASD-HA with 10 mM EGTA and photolysed with UV light. Detergent extracts were reduced to release the HA oligosaccharides and radiolabeled proteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Two polypeptides were consistently and equally labeled at M(r) = 175,000 and 166,000. Photoaffinity labeling of these two proteins was virtually identical in cultured LECs or membranes and was competed greater than 90% with a 100-fold excess of HA. As with the previously characterized bona fide LEC HA receptor, cross-linking was also competed by chondroitin sulfate and heparin, but less efficiently by chondroitin and not with galacturonan. We conclude that the Ca(2+)-independent LEC HA receptor is composed of at least two polypeptides of M(r) approximately 175,000 and 166,000 and may exist as a heterodimer of M(r) approximately 340,000. We also conclude that the LEC HA receptor is distinct from the CD44 family of HA-binding proteins. 相似文献

The human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor on interleukin (IL)-2-stimulated lymphocytes was characterized by binding and crosslinking techniques. The TNF receptor on IL-2-activated lymphocytes has an affinity of approximately 50 pM. Conventional crosslinking studies with the DSS analog bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate demonstrated a ligand-receptor complex molecular weight of 106-108 kDa. Lectin precipitation experiments indicated that the receptor is a glycoprotein with an affinity for lectin isolated from Ricinus communis. Affinity crosslinking studies with the iodinateable, cleavable crosslinker sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azido-salicylamido) ethyl 1,3'-dithiopropionate demonstrated that the TNF receptor, by itself, in the absence of bound ligand, has a molecular weight of approximately 90 kDa. Furthermore, these results indicate that the crosslinked TNF:TNF-receptor complexes observed at 104-108 kDa are composed of receptor and monomeric TNF. 相似文献

Endothelial albumin binding proteins are membrane-associated components exposed on the cell surface 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The heterobifunctional, photoactivatable, thiol-cleavable cross-linker sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azido-salicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate (SASD) was radioiodinated and used to determine whether endothelial albumin binding proteins (ABP) recently identified (Ghinea, N., Fixman, A., Alexandru, D., Popov, D., Hasu, M., Ghitescu, L., Eskenasy, M., Simionescu, M., and Simionescu, N. (1988) J. Cell Biol. 107, 231-239) are plasma membrane-associated components exposed on the cell surface. Microvascular endothelial cells (MEC) freshly isolated from rat epididymal fat were incubated with 125I-2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate (ASD)-albumin conjugate which upon photolysis by UV light was cross-linked to the receptor proteins. By cleaving the disulfide linkages of the cross-linker with 5% beta-mercaptoethanol and the ligand-receptor interactions with 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, the radioiodinated ASD moiety remained attached to the receptor peptides which were further detected by 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. In parallel, samples were examined by ligand blotting with albumin-gold complex. The results showed that in these experimental conditions ABP are represented by two major peptides of 31 and 18 kDa and two minor bands of 73 and 56 kDa. Densitometric scanning showed that the two major bands constitute more than 70% of the total ABP. The four peptides were not apparent if the samples were not UV-irradiated. The binding of the radioiodinated ligand to ABPs was reduced by approximately 82% in the presence of excess competitive unlabeled albumin. When MEC were incubated with unlabeled SASD and exposed to UV light, the autoradiographic banding pattern obtained was similar to that of either radioiodinated receptor proteins or MEC not treated with SASD. This indicated that the four albumin binding peptides are distinct proteins of the endothelial cell plasmalemma. 相似文献

Cholecystokinin/gastrin receptors in the pancreas of newborn (3-day-old) rats are of type A, as in control mature rats, revealed by pharmacological analysis of specific 125I-Bolton-Hunter-reagent-labelled [Thr34,Ahx37]cholecystokinin(31-39) (Ahx, aminohexanoic acid) binding. Also, by 1 day post-partum, pancreatic cholecystokinin receptors were shown to be coupled to guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory (G) proteins. Scatchard analysis of 125I-Bolton-Hunter-reagent-labelled [Thr34,Ahx37]cholecystokinin(31-39) binding to pancreatic membranes from rats at different times after birth showed a slight increase in the binding capacity of cholecystokinin receptors between days 3 and 14 and a sixfold increase in 21-day-old rats, with no change in receptor affinity during development. SDS/PAGE analysis of pancreatic membranes affinity labelled with the photoactivable ligand 125I-[2-(p-azidosalicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate]-labelled [Thr34,Ahx37]cholecystokinin-(31-39) identified cholecystokinin receptors of 100-135 kDa in 3-day-old rats, 96-130 kDa in 7-day-old rats, 90-125 kDa in 10-day-old rats and 85-100 kDa in 14-day-old and 21-day-old rats, as found in control adult rats. Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase F treatment yielded a core protein of 42 kDa in all developmental stages. These findings are consistent with an age-related postnatal expression of distinct glycoforms of pancreatic cholecystokinin receptors. Furthermore, it was observed that the period 2-3 weeks after birth, characterized by stabilization of the mass of the cholecystokinin receptor, precedes the dramatic increase in the receptor number. 相似文献

Identification of the interleukin-3 receptor using an iodinatable, cleavable, photoreactive cross-linking agent 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Murine interleukin-3 (mIL-3) is a lymphokine that stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of both pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells and their committed progeny. However, very little is known about the mechanism by which this growth factor elicits its effects on responsive cell populations. To gain insight into early events following mIL-3 receptor interaction, we initiated studies to isolate the receptor and study its properties. In this report, we demonstrate the use of a new iodinatable, cleavable, photoreactive cross-linking agent, sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate to identify the mIL-3 receptor. These studies reveal the mIL-3 receptor to be a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 67 kDa and an isoelectric point of approximately 6.2. 相似文献

In fast twitch skeletal muscle, the signal for excitation-contraction coupling is transferred from transverse tubule across the triad junction; calcium is thereby released from the terminal cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum triggering muscle contraction. Recently, the feet structures of terminal cisternae, which bridge the gap at the triad junction, have been identified as the ryanodine receptor and in turn with the calcium release channels of sarcoplasmic reticulum. The latter consists of an oligomer of a single high molecular weight polypeptide (Mr 360,000). This study attempts to identify the component in the transverse tubule which ligands with the foot structure to form the triad junction. The purified ryanodine receptor, derivatized with sulfosuccinimidyl-2-(p-azidosalicylimido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate (SASD), a thiol-cleavable, 125I-iodinatable, and photoactive probe, was shown to selectively cross-link to a protein with Mr of 71,000 in isolated transverse tubules. This coupling protein was purified from transverse tubule by solubilization with the detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane sulfonate (CHAPS) and then purified by sequential column chromatography. In the absence of sulfhydryl agents, the purified polypeptide has an Mr of 61,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A complementary approach using SASD was employed to confirm association of the coupling protein with the ryanodine receptor of terminal cisternae. We conclude that the transverse tubule coupling protein together with the ryanodine receptor (foot structure) is involved in the liganding between transverse tubule and terminal cisternae of sacroplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

It is well recognized that the Shiga-like toxins (Stxs) preferentially bind to Gb3 glycolipids and the cholera toxin (CT) and heat-labile enterotoxin (LTp) bind to GM1 gangliosides. After binding to the cell surface, A-B bacterial enterotoxins have to be internalized by endocytosis. The transport of the toxin-glycolipid complex has been documented in several manners but the actual mechanisms are yet to be clarified. We applied a heterobifunctional cross-linker, sulfosuccinimidyl-2-(p-azidosalicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate (SASD), to detect the membrane proteins involved in the binding and the transport of A-B bacterial enterotoxins in cultured cells. Both Stx1 and Stx2 bound to the detergent-insoluble microdomain (DIM) of Vero cells and Caco-2 cells, which were susceptible to the toxin, but neither was bound to insusceptible CHO-K1 cells. Both CT and LTp bound to the DIM of Vero cells, Caco-2 cells, and CHO-K1 cells. In a cross-linking experiment, Stx1 cross-linked only with a 27-kDa molecule, while Stx2, which was more potently toxic than Stx1, cross-linked with 27- and 40-kDa molecules of Vero cells as well as of Caco-2 cells; moreover, no molecules were cross-linked with the insusceptible CHO-K1 cells. LTp was cross-linked only to the 27-kDa molecule of these three cell types but the CT, which was more toxic than LTp, was also cross-linked with 27- and 40-kDa molecules of Vero cells, Caco-2 cells, and CHO-K1 cells. The 27- and the 40-kDa molecules might play a role in the endocytosis and retrograde transport of A-B bacterial enterotoxins. 相似文献

A new hydrophobic heterobifunctional photocrosslinking reagent 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-isothiocyanophenyl)diazirine (TRIMID), a carbene precursor, and its radioiodinated analogue [125I]TRIMID, have been synthesized and chemically characterized. The reagents were applied for membrane protein modification in human erythrocyte membranes and purple membranes fromHalobacterium halobium. Covalent labeling of the anion transport protein (band 3) via the isothiocyanate function was confirmed. Radiolabeled TRIMID was detected in at least two thermolysin-generated transmembrane fragments of the anion transport protein, and half-maximal inhibition of the erythrocyte anion transport activity was attained with 2.2 mM reagent. In bacteriorhodopsin (BR), a common binding site for the monofunctional phenylisothiocyanate and the bifunctional crosslinking reagent was identified: preincubation of purple membranes with TRIMID suppressed phenylisothio-[14C]-cyanate binding to BR. [125I]TRIMID was recovered in V-1, the N-terminal segment of BR, which includes the phenylisothiocyanate binding site Lys-41. Light-induced intramolecular crosslinking of band 3-derived thermolytic fragments was not observed, although the carbene was generatedin situ and photocrosslinking of the protease V8 fragments of BR was not detected. Chemical and physicochemical characteristics of the new reagent are discussed with regard to limitations imposed for photoinduced site-directed crosslink formation. 相似文献

The Arg-Gly-Asp binding domain of the vitronectin receptor. Photoaffinity cross-linking implicates amino acid residues 61-203 of the beta subunit 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
We have employed photoaffinity cross-linking to examine RGD recognition by the human placental vitronectin receptor. The peptide GRGDSPK was coupled to a thiol-cleavable radioiodinatable aryl azide (sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azido-salicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate. When 125I-sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azido-salicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate-GRGDSPK was cross-linked to the vitronectin receptor in solution, 80% of the label was associated with the beta subunit. Cross-linking to both subunits of the receptor was highly specific and dependent upon the presence of divalent cations. Ca2+ and Mg2+ promoted RGD recognition by the receptor; however, the effects of each divalent cation were kinetically distinct. We have also identified and determined the amino acid sequence of chymotryptic and V8 protease-generated peptides of the beta subunit that were radiolabeled as a result of cross-linking. The results of these studies demonstrate that amino acid residues 61-203 are proximal to the RGD binding domain of the vitronectin receptor. 相似文献

Synthesis and biochemical characterization of a photoactivatable, iodinatable, cleavable bacterial lipopolysaccharide derivative 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
A method for the synthesis of a photoactivatable, iodinatable, and thiol-cleavable derivative of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is described using sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)-1,3'-dithiopropionate. The method described is applicable to LPS from both smooth and rough bacteria. Evidence is presented that the coupling reaction occurs primarily to phosphoethanolamine residues localized to the inner core region of the LPS. Radioiodination of the derivatized LPS results in a product with a specific activity of 1.8-2.5 microCi/micrograms. Experiments comparing the activity of native and derivatized S-form LPS suggest that the synthesis has not introduced major alterations in the biological properties of the LPS. The feasibility of this derivatized LPS as a molecular probe to investigate LPS binding targets in biological systems is suggested by experiments showing ultraviolet light-dependent cross-linking, thiol-dependent cleavage, and subsequent transfer of radioiodine to both monoclonal anti-LPS antibody and bovine serum albumin. The latter interaction has been demonstrated to be highly selective in protein mixtures containing serum albumin in solution with LPS. 相似文献

All large ribosomal subunits contain two dimers composed of small acidic proteins that are involved in binding elongation factors during protein synthesis. The ribosomal location of the C-terminal globular domain of the Escherichia coli ribosomal acidic protein L7/L12 has been determined by protein cross-linking with a new heterobifunctional, reversible, photoactivatable reagent, N-[4-(p-azidosalicylamido)-butyl]-3-(2'-pyridyldithio)propionamide . Properties of this reagent are described. It was first radiolabeled with 125I and then attached through the formation of a disulfide bond to a unique cysteine of L7/L12, introduced by site-directed mutagenesis at residue 89. Intact 50S ribosomal subunits were reconstituted from L7/L12-depleted cores and the radiolabeled L7/L12Cys89. Irradiation of the reconstituted subunits resulted in photo-cross-linking between residue 89 and other ribosomal components. Reductive cleavage of the disulfide cross-link resulted in transfer of the 125I label from L7/L12Cys89 to the other cross-linked components. Two radiolabeled proteins were identified, L11 and L10. The location of both of these proteins is well established to be at the base of the L7/L12 stalk near the binding sites for the N-terminal domain of both L7/L12 dimers, and for elongation factors. The result indicates that L7/L12 can have a bent conformation bringing the C-terminal domain of at least one of the L7/L12 dimers at or near the factor-binding domain. The cross-linking method with radiolabeled N-[4-(p-azidosalicylamido)butyl]-3-(2'-pyridyldithio)propionamide should be applicable for studies of other multicomponent complexes that can be reconstituted. 相似文献

Fluorescein isothiocyanate derivatization of the human lactotransferrin on Lys-264 inhibits the binding of the protein of human PHA-activated lymphocytes [Legrand, D., Mazurier, J., Maes, P., Rochard, E., Montreuil, J., & Spik, G. (1991) Biochem. J. 276, 733-738], indicating that part of the receptor-binding site is located in the N-terminal domain I of lactotransferrin. In the present study, a 6-kDa peptide (residues 4-52) was isolated from the N-terminal lobe of human lactotransferrin which inhibited the binding of the protein to its cell receptor. In addition, lactotransferrin was derivatized using sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate (SASD) and sulfosuccinimidyl 6-((4'-azido-2'-nitrophenyl)amino)hexanoate (sulfo-SANPAH), two heterobifunctional reagents generally used for receptor-ligand cross-linking. The azide group of these two reagents was inactivated by photolysis, and only the succinimidyl ester group was allowed to react with lysine residues of the protein. The binding of the derivatized lactotransferrins to the human lymphocyte receptor was assayed. SASD, which binds to Lys-74, was able to inhibit the binding of lactotransferrin to the cell receptor, in contrast to Lys-281-binding sulfo-SANPAH. Molecular modeling showed the position of SASD, sulfo-SANPAH, and fluorescein molecules at the surface of the protein and suggested that SASD and fluorescein could mask residues 4-6 and two loop-containing regions of human lactotransferrin (residues 28-34 and 38-45). The comparison of the primary and tertiary structures of human lactotransferrin and serotransferrin, which bind to specific cell receptors, shows that the above-mentioned regions, which are likely involved in protein-receptor interactions, possess specific structural features. 相似文献

A proteomics-based method using stable isotope labeling to assess the relative abundance of peptides or proteins is described. Bradykinin and carbonic anhydrase were labeled with sulfosuccinimidyl-2-(biotinamido) ethyl-1,3-dithiopropionate, a membrane impermeant reagent that is reactive with primary amines. Specificity of the label to primary amines was demonstrated using tandem mass spectrometry. Also, relative quantitation was achieved by secondary labeling with natural isotopic abundance and stable isotope-labeled methyl iodide. We believe this to be an effective stable isotope-labeling method for quantitative proteomics. 相似文献

We have developed a unilamellar phospholipid vesicle system which contains the N-formyl peptide receptor and GTP binding proteins. Several detergents were investigated but only two, octyl glucoside (35 mM) and deoxycholate (7.5 mM), were capable of extracting N-formyl peptide receptor from neutrophil membranes in a form which remained functionally active upon reconstitution into phospholipid vesicles. Extracted proteins were reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine vesicles by passage over a Sephadex G-50-80 column. The reconstituted formylpeptide receptor could bind [3H]FMLP (3H-labeled fMet-Leu-Phe) and [125I]FMLPL-SASD (125I-labeled N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanyl-N epsilon-(2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl- 1,3'-dithiopropionyl)lysine) while the endogenous G protein could bind [35S]GTP gamma S. Furthermore, the functional interaction of the two proteins was preserved. Addition of the nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide, GTP gamma S, shifted the N-formyl peptide receptor from a high- to a low-affinity binding state for ligand. The development of this in vitro reconstitution system should provide a basis to study the mechanism of interaction of the N-formyl peptide receptor and the G protein. 相似文献

Bacterial LPS is a potent stimulator of immune cells, but its mechanisms are unknown. A possible role for microtubules in LPS actions has been indicated by previous findings that the microtubule-active agent, taxol, can mimic some effects of LPS in macrophages from normal strains of mice, but not from genetically LPS-hyporesponsive strains. In this report we demonstrate that isolated microtubules from mouse brain can bind LPS in vitro. LPS and tubulin coeluted through a gel filtration column, and LPS was cross-linked to microtubule proteins with an iodinatable, photoreactive agent, sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azidosalicylamido) ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate. beta-Tubulin and microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP), a predominant MAP in the brain, bound LPS specifically. Cross-linking was inhibited by an excess of unlabeled LPS or partially by unlabeled lipid A, but not by 2 M NaCl. Under the same conditions, neither myosin nor soybean trypsin inhibitor was labeled by the photoaffinity LPS probe, nor did these proteins compete for binding of LPS to beta-tubulin. These findings support the hypothesis that the microtubule network could be an intracellular target for LPS, and suggest further that a beta-tubulin-associated MAP could have an important role in LPS actions. 相似文献

For the purpose of developing highly sensitive and convenient determination of plasmalogens, the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method using radioactive iodine ((125)I) was investigated. Radioactive triiodide (1-) ion ((125)I(3)(-)), which is an actual iodine form capable of reacting with vinyl ether bond ([bond]CH(2)[bond]O[bond]CH[double bond]CH[bond]) of plasmalogens, could be safely and efficiently produced by oxidizing a commercial radioactive sodium iodine (Na(125)I) with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) under acid condition (pH 5.5-6.0), which is called iodine-125 reagent. I(3)(-) specifically reacted with plasmalogens at the molar ratio of 1:1 in methanol, and 1 or 2 mol of plasmalogens was involved in the binding with iodine per iodine atom, resulting in the formation of stable iodine-binding phospholipids. The HPLC system with Diol column and acetonitrile/water as a mobile phase was available for separating iodine-binding phospholipids from nonbinding free iodine and for separately eluting iodine-binding phospholipids derived from choline and ethanolamine plasmalogens. Using iodine-125 reagent (1.85 MBq/ml), plasmalogens were detectable at high sensitivity of 10,000-15,000 cpm/nmol, which is more than 1000-fold higher sensitivity than the classical determination with nonradioactive iodine. Plasmalogen concentrations in human plasma were measured with the HPLC system and determined as, on average, 129.1+/-31.3 microM (n=8) in a 1.2 content ratio of choline to ethanolamine plasmalogens, a concentration that nearly agrees with the value reported previously. 相似文献

A new heterobifunctional reagent, N-(3-(p-azido-m-iodophenyl)propionyl)-succinimide (AIPPS), was synthesized and chemically characterized. The radiochemical form of the reagent, [125I]AIPPS, should be of general use as a photoactive reagent for the derivatization of free amino groups on a large variety of biologically active compounds, including many hormones. Amino-containing ligands can be derivatized with [125I]AIPPS in a method which is similar to that used for the 125I-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent (N-(3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)propionyl)-succinimide). The added advantage with [125I]AIPPS, however, is that the ligand derivative is made both photoactive and radioactive in a single step. As an example of how this reagent can be used, we have prepared carrier-free [125I]AIPPS and reacted it with the amino-containing cardiac glycoside, 4-amino-4,6-dideoxyglucosyl digitoxigenin (GluD). The radioiodinated cardiac glycoside, [125I]AIPP-GluD, was purified by thin-layer chromatography and was carrier-free with a specific radioactivity of 2175 Ci/mmol. [125I]AIPP-GluD was an effective photoaffinity label for Na,K-ATPase as shown by specific photoaffinity labeling of purified canine kidney enzyme and human erythrocyte enzyme. 相似文献

Identification of a human neutrophil protein of Mr 24 000 that binds N-formyl peptides: co-sedimentation with specific granules 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In assaying subcellular fractions of human neutrophils for N-formyl peptide binding sites using the photoaffinity ligand FMLPL-SASD-125I (125I-labelled N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanyl-N epsilon- (2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionyl)-lysine) several molecular species were observed. We confirmed localization of the N-formyl peptide receptor of Mr 50 000-70 000 in the plasma membrane and specific granule fractions. A species of Mr 33 000-35 000 was detected in the light Golgi/endosomal fraction, whose size is consistent with the deglycosylated form of the receptor. In addition, a major binding species of Mr 24 000 was identified that co-localized on sucrose gradients with specific granule markers. This Mr 24 000 species, which was investigated further, was found to be released upon cell stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate or FMLP in the presence of dihydrocytochalasin B. It had an affinity for FMLPL-SASD of 145 nM (cf. 0.3 nM for the cell surface receptor). The specificity for the formyl group was lost as the nonformylated Met-Leu-Phe was as effective FMLPL in competing with FMLPL-SASD-125I for binding to th Mr 24 000 species. A structurally unrelated peptide, however, did not compete for the binding. The labelling of the Mr 24 000 species was dependent on the presence of Ca2+, as was its apparent Mr, which shifted from 24 000 to 50 000-70 000 in the presence of Ca2+. By incubating photoaffinity-labelled plasma membrane fractions with specific granule fractions, we could generate a receptor fragment of Mr 24 000, although the relationship to this fragment of the specific granule species is unknown at present. The N-terminal sequence of the Mr 24 000 species was determined and it appears to be a novel protein. Further work will allow its relationship to the receptor, if any, to be elucidated and allow assignment of a function to this potentially important molecule. 相似文献
