Abstract: | The interaction between actin and aplyronine A, a potent antitumor and actin-depolymerizing substance of marine origin, was investigated by photoaffinity labeling experiments. Photoaffinity probes consisting of a side-chain portion of aplyronine A as a ligand, a diazirine moiety as a photoaffinity group, and a fluorophore as a detecting group were synthesized. Photolabeling experiments between actin and the probe were carried out. Actin was successfully photolabeled by the fluorescent probe and visualized clearly. The present results provide the first chemical evidence for the direct interaction between actin and the side-chain portion of aplyronine A. |
