Synthesis of a bis-azido analogue of acromelic acid for radioisotope-free photoaffinity labeling and biochemical studies.

A novel acromelic acid analogue containing a phenyl group possessing two different types of azido functional groups, of which one is the aromatic N3 acting as a photoaffinity group to bind to a target protein by photoirradiation and the other is alkyl N3 group which survives photolysis acting as a detecting group through the Staudinger-Bertozzi reaction to identify the ligated product, was designed and synthesized as a radioisotope-free biochemical probe potentially for studies on kainoid receptors.

Binding of a glucagon photoaffinity label to rat liver plasma membranes and its effect on adenylate cyclase activity before and after photolysis.

The concentration-dependent stimulation of adenylate cyclase by the photoaffinity reagent 2-[(2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)sulfenyl]-Trp25-glucagon (glucagon-NAPS) and also its binding characteristics were compared with those of the native hormone. The derivative was found to be slightly more potent in stimulating adenylate cyclase than glucagon, in the presence of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP). 125I-Labeled glucagon-NAPS or 125I-labeled glucagon bound rapidly to receptors and was competitively displaced by unlabeled glucagon or glucagon-NAPS. Glucagon-NAPS displaced bound radiolabeled hormone at a lower concentration than did glucagon in the absence of GTP. Scatchard analysis of the binding data obtained from displacement of bound radiolabeled ligand with unlabeled peptide demonstrated a heterogeneous population of saturable glucagon binding sites. Glucagon-NAPS displayed a higher affinity (0.7 nM) for the high-capacity sites (80-90% of total binding sites) than glucagon (4.0 nM) in the absence of GTP. In the presence of the nucleotide, both ligands had approximately the same affinity (0.5-0.6 nM). Hill plot analysis of the binding data suggested noncooperative interactions. Photoaffinity labeling of plasma membranes with glucagon-NAPS resulted in an irreversible activation of adenylate cyclase with a reduced response to further stimulation by glucagon, glucagon-NAPS, and NaF.

Extracellular ATP binding proteins as potential receptors in mucociliary epithelium: characterization using [32P]3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl ATP, a photoaffinity label.

3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl ATP (BzATP) was used as a photoaffinity analog of ATP to label potential ATP receptors in ciliated cells. Like ATP, without photoactivation, BzATP stimulated the ciliary beat frequency in tissue culture up to threefold. Irradiation of intact cells in the presence of [alpha-32P]BzATP followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography revealed two labeled proteins with molecular masses of 46 and 96 kDa (p46 and p96). Photolabeling of both proteins was susceptible to digestion with trypsin, implying that the labeled proteins are at least partially exposed on the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. The dependence of 32P incorporation in both proteins on [alpha-32P]BzATP concentration was similar. Labeling of p46 but not p96 required Ca2+ or Mg2+. Various nucleotides stimulated the ciliary frequency, and inhibited the photolabeling of p46 and p96. The rank order of apparent affinity for p46 is: ATP approximately equal to ADP > GTP gamma S > ADP beta S, UTP, 2MeSATP, AMP-PNP > AMP-PCP > AMP > adenosine; for p96 it is: ADP approximately equal to ADP beta S > or = ATP >> AMP-PCP, AMP-PNP > GTP gamma S > or = AMP > 2MeSATP, UTP, adenosine. The rank of stimulation of ciliary beat frequency is: ADP beta S, UTP > or = 2MeSATP, GTP gamma S, AMP-PNP, ATP > or = ADP > AMP-PCP > adenosine > AMP. These results suggest the involvement of p46 in the stimulatory effect of extracellular ATP on the ciliary beat, as a P2 purinoceptor. On the other hand, p96 may represent a P2 purinoceptor or an ectonucleotidase.

Photoaffinity labeling of proteins in bovine testis nuclear extract.

A binary system of photoaffinity reagents for selective affinity labeling of DNA polymerases has been developed. The photoreactive probe was formed in nuclear extract, using an end-labeled oligonucleotide containing a synthetic abasic site. This site was incised by apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease and then dNMPs carrying a photoreactive adduct were added to the 3(') hydroxyl using base-substituted arylazido derivatives of dUTP or dCTP. This results in the synthesis of photoreactive base excision repair (BER) intermediates. The photoreactive group was then activated, either directly (UV light exposure 320nm) or in the presence of the sensitizer of dTTP analog containing a pyrene group (Pyr-dUTP) under UV light 365nm. DNA polymerase beta was the main target crosslinked by photoreactive BER intermediates in this nuclear extract. In contrast, several proteins were labeled under the conditions of direct activation of arylazido group.

Biotin-labelled and photoactivatable aldosterone and progesterone derivatives as ligands for affinity chromatography, fluorescence immunoassays and photoaffinity labelling.

New derivatives of progesterone and aldosterone were synthesized and functionally tested with commercially available antibodies. The covalent labelling of antibodies specific for aldosterone and progesterone was detected by SDS/PAGE analysis and subsequent autoradiography after using 3-(O-carboxymethyl)-oximino-(3-[125I]iodo-4-azidosalicylamidobu tylamine) derivatives of aldosterone and progesterone, respectively, as photoactivatable radioligands. Labelling was not observed in the presence of an excess of the unlabelled steroid. Aldosterone was labelled with biotin and used as a tracer in a time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. The nonradioactive tracer is highly selective for its antibody-binding site, with almost no detectable cross-reactivity for other steroids. Biotin-labelled progesterone was immobilized by avidin-agarose and used for affinity chromatography. This yielded a more than 20-fold enrichment of an anti-progesterone polyclonal antibody. These results demonstrate that derivatives of steroids are particularly useful for the development of nonradioactive assays for the determination of natural steroids and may be also useful for the detection of specific binding sites in biological material such as plasma membranes.

The human VPAC1 receptor: identification of the N-terminal ectodomain as a major VIP-binding site by photoaffinity labeling and 3D modeling.

The human VPAC1 receptor for VIP and PACAP is a class II Gprotein-coupled receptor (GPCR). The N-terminal ectodomain of the VPAC1 receptor plays a crucial role in VIP binding. Photoaffinity experiments clearly indicated that the 6-28 part of VIP physically interacts with the N-terminal ectodomain. Construction of a 3D model of the N-terminal ectodomain of VPAC1 receptor based on the NMR structure of the mouse CRF receptor 2 indicated the presence of short consensus repeat/Sushi domain. Docking of VIP in the N-terminal ectodomain structural model was performed taking into account the severe constraints provided by photoaffinity. A VIP-binding site was identified on the side of the structured core of the N-terminal ectodomain of the receptor.

Photoaffinity label for the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor: synthesis and effects on membrane and affinity-purified receptors.

An azide analog, 2-[4-(4-azidobenzoyl)piperazin-1-yl]-4-amino-6, 7-dimethoxyquinazoline (CP59,430), of the highly selective alpha 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist prazosin was synthesized and its effects on rat hepatic membrane and affinity-purified alpha 1-adrenergic receptor preparations were examined. CP59,430 behaved as a competitive antagonist before photolysis. When the membrane or purified preparations pretreated with CP59,430 were irradiated with UV light, CP59,430 behaved as a noncompetitive antagonist. Labeling of membrane alpha 1-adrenergic receptors was irreversible; repeated dialysis or washing could not reverse the photolysis-induced inactivation by CP59,430, whereas dialysis completely reversed the antagonism by the same concentration of the label prior to photolysis. Additionally, photolabeling of purified receptors was resistant to Sephadex G-50 chromatography, whereas in the absence of photolysis the same concentration of CP59,430 or prazosin (10 microM) could be readily removed by this procedure. CP59,430 appears to label specifically only alpha 1-adrenergic receptors because prazosin protected the membrane and purified receptors from photolysis-induced inactivation by CP59,430. Furthermore, specific [3H]dihydroalprenolol and [3H]yohimbine binding to membrane beta- and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors, respectively, was unchanged by CP59,430 at 1 microM, a concentration that decreased specific [3H]prazosin binding to alpha 1-adrenergic receptors by 72%. In additional studies, the photolysis-induced receptor inactivation by CP59,430 remained unchanged in the presence of the scavenger p-aminobenzoic acid. It is likely, therefore, that receptor labeling by CP59,430 occurs via a true photoaffinity mechanism. CP59,430, which specifically and irreversibly labels the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor after photolysis, should thus be uniquely valuable for the molecular characterization of this receptor.

Development of high-affinity ligands and photoaffinity labels for the D-fructose transporter GLUT5.

The GLUT5 transporter catalyses the specific uptake of D-fructose and can accept this hexose in its furanose and pyranose ring forms. The transporter does not accept fructose epimers and has very limited tolerance of bulky groups substituted at the 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-OH positions [Tatibouët, Yang, Morin and Holman (2000) Bioorg. Med. Chem. 8, 1825-1833]. To further explore whether bulky groups can be tolerated at the primary OH positions, a D-fructose analogue with an allylamine group substitution to replace the 1-OH group was synthesized and was found to be quite well tolerated ( K (i)=27.1 mM). However, this analogue occurs in multiple ring forms. By contrast, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol is a symmetrical molecule that occurs only in a furanose ring form in which C-1 and C-6 are equivalent. We have therefore synthesized new 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol analogues (substituted at the equivalent of the 6-OH of D-fructose) and from studies in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing GLUT5 cells report that (i) the allylamine derivative of 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol is well tolerated ( K (i)=2.66 mM); (ii) introduction of a di-nitrophenyl-substituted secondary amine group enhances affinity ( K (i)=0.56 mM); (iii) introduction of amide-linked biotinylated photolabel moieties is possible without loss of affinity relative to 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol but a small secondary amine spacer between the biotinylated photolabelling moiety and the fructofuranose ring increases affinity (fructose photolabel 2; K (i)=1.16 mM); (iv) introduction of a hydrophilic tartarate spacer between biotin and the diazirine photoreactive groups can be accomplished without reduction in affinity and (v) photoactivation of biotinylated fructose photolabels leads to specific biotin tagging of GLUT5. These data suggest that substitution of a secondary amine group (-NH) to replace the C-6 (or C-1) -OH of 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol results in compounds of high affinity; the affinity is enhanced over 10-fold compared with D-fructose.

Characterization of the dexniguldipine binding site in the multidrug resistance-related transport protein P-glycoprotein by photoaffinity labeling and mass spectrometry.

Human P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an integral membrane transport protein, is responsible for the efflux of various drugs, including cytostatics from cancer cells leading to multidrug resistance. P-gp is composed of two homologous half domains, each carrying one nucleotide binding site. The drug extrusion is ATP-dependent and can be inhibited by chemosensitizers, such as the dihydropyridine derivative dexniguldipine-HCl, through direct interaction with P-gp. To evaluate the mechanism(s) of chemosensitization and identify the binding sites of dexniguldipine-HCl, a tritium-labeled azido analog of dexniguldipine, [(3)H]B9209-005, was used as a photoaffinity probe. Using the multidrug resistant T-lymphoblastoid cell line CCRF-ADR5000, two proteins were specifically labeled in membranes by [(3)H]B9209-005. These proteins were identified by immunoprecipitation such as P-gp and its N-terminal fragment. The membranes were solubilized and the labeled P-gp proteins first isolated by lectin-chromatography and then digested with trypsin. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresisanalysis of the digest revealed a major radioactive 7-kDa fragment. The tryptic fragments were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The MS results, corroborated by MALDI-MS of peptides after one step of Edman analysis, identified the radioactive 7-kDa band as the dexniguldipine-bound, tryptic P-gp peptide, 468-527. This sequence region is flanked by the Walker motifs A and B of the N-terminal ATP-binding cassette suggesting direct interaction of the chemosensitizer with the nucleotide binding site is involved in the mechanism of chemosensitization.

Photoaffinity labelling of the human mineralocorticoid receptor with steroids having a reactive group at position 3, 18 or 21.

The ability of a glucocorticoid (triamcinolone acetonide: TA) and three progesterone derivatives with photoreactive groups at different positions (promegestone: R5020; 18-oxo-18-vinylprogesterone: 18OVP; 21-diazoprogesterone: 21DP) to bind covalently to the human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR) expressed in Sf9 insect cells was assessed. Sedimentation gradient analysis and exchange assays with aldosterone showed that [3H]TA, a partial mineralocorticoid agonist, and [3H]R5020, a pure antimineralocorticoid, were covalently bound to hMR after UV irradiation, with a labelling efficiency of approx. 3-5%. UV irradiation did not alter the heterooligomeric structure of the hMR, since the irradiated [3H]TA- and [3H]R5020-hMR complexes sedimented at approx. 9-10 S, as did the non-irradiated complexes. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a band labelled by [3H]TA or [3H]R5020, having a molecular mass of 120 kDa. This band was not detected in the presence of an excess of the corresponding unlabelled steroid or when the cytosol was recovered from non-infected Sf9 cells. Electrophoresis of a truncated hMR (hMRDelta(1-351)) photolabelled with [3H]TA revealed a 80 kDa band, compatible with the molecular mass of the truncated hMR. Limited chymotrypsin proteolysis of the [3H]TA photolabelled hMR generated a 30 kDa fragment covalently associated with [3H]TA. As the 30 kDa fragment generated by chymotrypsin has been shown to encompass the entire ligand-binding domain of the hMR (B. Couette, J. Fagart, S. Jalaguier, M. Lombès, A. Souque, M.E. Rafestin-Oblin, Biochem. J. 315 (1996) 421-427), the present experiments provide evidence that [3H]TA is covalently bound to the ligand binding domain of the hMR. Exchange assays with [3H]A also revealed that unlabelled 18OVP and 21DP, two mineralocorticoid agonists bearing photoreactive groups at skeleton positions crucial for the ligand-MR interaction, are covalently bound to hMR with an approx. 30-35% labelling efficiency.

[35S]S-[5-(4-benzoylphenyl)pentyl]glutathione: a versatile radioligand targeting GS-X pumps with the ability of photoaffinity labeling.

[35S]S-[5-(4-benzoylphenyl)pentyl]glutathione (GIF-0017) as a biochemical probe targeting the ATP-dependent organic anion transporters GS-X pumps was synthesized by the reaction of [35S]glutathione and excess 4-(5-bromo)pentylbenzophenone under alkaline conditions, with the radiochemical yield of 24-33% after HPLC purification. Photolysis of the mixture of [35S]GIF-0017 and plasma membrane vesicles prepared from the MRP1 cDNA-transfected LLC-PK1 cells resulted in radio-labeling of a 180-kDa membrane protein. Immunoprecipitation and western blotting using an anti-MRP1 monoclonal antibody confirmed that the [35S]GIF-0017-labeled protein was the MRPI/GS-X pump.

Synthesis of biotinylated bis(D-glucose) derivatives for glucose transporter photoaffinity labelling.

New diazirine based bis-glucose derivatives for tagging glucose transporters have been synthesised. These included two biotinylated compounds linked either by an aminocaproate or by a cleavable dithiol link. These compounds have been derivatised via a key skeleton compound that can be easily used for introduction of additional tags. Studies on the erythrocyte glucose transporter (GLUT1) and the insulin-stimulated adipose cell transporter (GLUT4) have revealed the biotinylated photoreactive bis-glucose compounds are effective labelling reagents.
