N-Hydroxysuccinimide ester of 3-[3-(3-(trifluoromethyl)diazirin-3-yl)phenyl]-2,3-dihydroxypro pionic acid was successfully tested in a ribosomal tRNA binding system. It is an originally designed trifluoromethyl-diazirine-based cleavable cross-linking reagent with a very short distance between the active points (about 8.5 A). The reagent was coupled to the amino acid amino group of Phe-tRNAPhe to obtain a photoactivatable analog of peptidyl-tRNA. This analog was bound to ribosomes and the complex was irradiated with uv light. After isolation, the cross-linked product was cleft by periodate treatment to reveal the properties of the new reagent.

Melittin is a 26-amino acid amphipathic polypeptide toxin from bee venom which forms anion-selective ion channels in bilayers and biological membranes under the influence of membrane potential. Melittin has been shown to interact with a number of membrane proteins. We found that melittin inhibited K+-stimulated ATP hydrolysis by the (H+ + K+) ATPase in parietal cell apical membrane vesicles derived from histamine-stimulated rabbit gastric mucosa with a KIapp of 0.5 micron. Melittin also inhibited K+-stimulated p-nitrophenyl hydrolysis activity which is associated with the gastric (H+ + K+) ATPase in a dose-dependent manner with a KIapp of 0.95 micron. ATP-driven, K+-dependent H+ transport was inhibited over this same concentration range, even in the absence of a membrane potential. Melittin did not appear to increase the H+ leak from vesicle with preformed H+ gradients when the H+ pump was arrested by Mg2+ chelation, but all possible membrane perturbation effects were difficult to rule out. However, the data suggest that melittin exerts its inhibitory effect through interaction with the (H+ + K+) ATPase. In order to determine whether direct interactions between the (H+ + K+) ATPase and melittin occurred, a radioactive derivative of melittin, [125I]azidosalicylyl melittin, was prepared and photoreacted with sealed rabbit gastric membranes and highly purified hog gastric membrane containing the (H+ + K+) ATPase. In the purified hog preparation only a 95,000-Da band, the (H+ + K+) ATPase was labeled, while in the rabbit preparation a 95,000-Da band and one other membrane protein of 70,000 Da were labeled with this reagent. Label incorporation into the (H+ + K+) ATPase and the 70,000-Da band was greatly reduced by addition of excess unlabeled melittin, suggesting specificity of the interaction. Label incorporation occurred in the absence of ATP or added salts and was not reduced by SCH28080 (a K+ site inhibitor) suggesting that the melittin binding site was distinct from the luminal K+ site of action of SCH28080.

8-Azido-ATP is a substrate for the ATP synthase in submitochondrial particles with a Vmax equal to 6% of the Vmax with ATP. The Km values for 8-azido-ATP are similar to those for ATP. ATP synthase in submitochondrial particles can bind maximally 2 mol 8-N-ATP or 8-N-ADP per mole and the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by covalently bound N-ATP or N-ADP is proportional to the saturation of the enzyme with inhibitor, similar to the results obtained with isolated F1. Both 8-N-ATP and 8-N-ADP are bound mainly to the beta subunits and at all levels of saturation the distribution of the label is 77% to the beta and 23% to the alpha subunits. It is proposed that the binding of 8-azido-AXP itself is mainly to the beta subunit, but that part of the nitreno radicals formed during excitation with light reacts with an amino acid of the alpha subunit, due to the location of the binding site at an interface between a beta and an alpha subunit. Partial saturation with 8-N-ATP, under conditions that the concentration of 8-azido-ATP during the incubation is intermediate between the low and high Km values, does not abolish the apparent negative cooperativity of ATP hydrolysis. It is concluded that this apparent cooperativity is not due to the presence of two different catalytic sites, nor to a cooperativity between the two catalytic sites, but to interaction between the catalytic sites and regulatory sites.
The photoreactive nucleotides [2-3H]8-azido-ATP and [2-3H]8-azido-ADP could be used to label the nucleotide binding sites on isolated mitochondrial F1-ATPase to a maximum of 4 mol of nucleotide per mol F1, also when the F1 was depleted of tightly bound nucleotides. At a photolabel concentration of 300-1000 microM, label was found on both alpha and beta subunits in a typically 1:3 ratio, independent of the total amount bound. Under these conditions the covalent binding of two nucleotides is needed for full inactivation (Wagenvoord, R.J., Van der Kraan, I. and Kemp, A. (1977) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 460, 17-24). At lower concentrations of [2-3H]8-azido-ATP (20 microM), it was found that covalent binding of only 1 mol of nucleotide per mole F1 was required for complete inactivation to take place indicating catalytic site cooperativity in the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis. Under those conditions, radioactivity was only found on the beta subunits, which would indicate that the catalytic site is located on a beta subunit and that a second site is located on the alpha/beta interface. It is found that four out of the six nucleotide binding sites are exchangeable and can be labelled with 8-azido-AT(D)P, i.e., two catalytic sites and two non-catalytic sites.
The tritiated cardiotonic steroids, ouabain, digitoxin, and digitoxigenin are shown to photolabel the large polypeptide but not the glycoprotein or proteolipid component of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase when they are bound to the inhibitory site and exposed to light of 220 or 254 nm. The extent of photolabeling is low, less than 1%, and is limited by photocross-linking of the enzyme. The mechanism of photoincorporation does not appear to be either photolysis of the lactone ring in ouabain or photolysis of tryptophan or tyrosine residues in the polypeptide.
We have used a radiolabelled, benzophenone analog of bumetanide, 4-[3H]benzoyl-5-sulfamoyl-3-(3-thenyloxy)benzoic acid ([3H]BSTBA) to photolabel plasma membranes from duck red blood cells. BSTBA, like bumetanide, is a loop diuretic and a potent inhibitor of (Na + K + Cl) cotransport, and [3H]BSTBA binds to intact duck red cells with a high affinity similar to that of [3H]bumetanide (K 1/2 congruent to 0.1 microM). We incubated duck red cells with [3H]BSTBA, then lysed the cells and exposed the ghosts to ultraviolet light. The ghosting and photolysis was done at 0 degree C to prevent dissociation of the [3H]BSTBA. The ghosts were then sonicated to remove the nuclei and run on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Analysis of H2O2-digested gel slices revealed [3H]BSTBA to be incorporated into a protein of approx. 150 kDa. This is the same molecular weight we obtain for a protein from dog kidney membranes which is photolabelled by [3H]BSTBA in a manner highly consistent with labelling of the (Na + K + Cl) cotransporter (Haas and Forbush (1987) Am. J. Physiol. 253, C243-C252). Several lines of evidence strongly suggest that the 150 kDa protein from duck red cell membranes is an integral component of the (Na + K + Cl)-cotransport system in these cells: (1) Photolabelling of this protein by [3H]BSTBA is blocked when 10 microM unlabelled bumetanide is included in the initial incubation medium with [3H]BSTBA; (2) Photoincorporation of [3H]BSTBA into the 150 kDa protein is markedly increased when the initial incubation medium is hypertonic or contains norepinephrine, conditions which similarly stimulate both (Na + K + Cl) cotransport and saturable [3H]bumetanide binding in duck red cells; (3) The photolabelling of this protein shows a saturable dependence on [3H]BSTBA concentration, with a K1/2 (0.06 microM) similar to that for the reversible, saturable binding of [3H]BSTBA and [3H]bumetanide to duck red cells; and (4) [3H]BSTBA photoincorporation into the 150 kDa protein, like saturable [3H]bumetanide binding to intact cells, requires the simultaneous presence of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the medium containing the radiolabelled diuretic.
