Abstract: | A photoreactive, radioiodinatable derivative of the oligosaccharide (GM1OS) of ganglioside GM1 was synthesized as follows: GM1OS was generated from GM1 by ozonolysis and alkaline fragmentation, and reductively aminated to GM1OSNH2 (1-amino-1-deoxymonosialogangliotetraitol). The latter compound was then reacted with N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidosalicylic acid (NHS-ASA) to form GM1OSNH-ASA 1-(4-azidosalicoylamido)-1-deoxymonosialogangliotetraitol], which was radioiodinated and further purified. To test the 125I]GM1OSNH-IASA 1-(4-iodoazidosalicoylamido)-1-deoxymonosialogangliotetraitol+ ++] as a probe for ganglioside-binding proteins, the derivative was incubated with cholera toxin, which specifically binds GM1, followed by photolysis and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The probe only labelled the B or binding subunit of cholera toxin, but not the A or adenylyl cyclase activating subunit. Labelling was inhibited by excess GM1OS, but not by the oligosaccharides from gangliosides GD1a and GD1b. 125I]GM1OSNH-IASA and analogous oligosaccharide derivatives may be valuable probes for detecting ganglioside-binding proteins. |
