Photoaffinity labeling of P-glycoprotein in multidrug resistant cells with photoactive analogs of colchicine.

Two photoactive radiolabeled analogs of colchicine, N-(p-azido[3,5-[3H]benzoyl)aminohexanoyldeacetylcolchicine ([3H]NABC]) and N-(p-azido-[3-125I]salicyl)aminohexanoyldeacetylcolchicine ([125I]NASC) were synthesized and used to identify colchicine-specific acceptor(s) in membrane vesicles from multidrug resistant (MDR) variant DC-3F/VCRd-5L Chinese hamster lung cells. Both [3H]NABC and [125I]NASC specifically photolabeled a prominent 150-180 kDa polypeptide in membrane vesicles from DC-3F/VCRd-5L cells. The photolabeled polypeptide was immunoprecipitated by monoclonal antibody C219 specific for the MDR-related P-glycoprotein (P-gp) indicating the identity of this protein with P-gp. Colchicine at 1000 microM reduced [3H]NABC photolabeling of P-gp by 72%. Furthermore, 100 microM of colchicine, vincristine, vinblastine, doxorubicin and actinomycin D inhibited [125I]NASC photolabeling by 45, 88.8, 91.1, 61.5, and 51% respectively. However, methotrexate did not affect the [125I]NASC photolabeling of P-gp, indicating the multidrug specificity of the P-gp colchicine acceptor for drugs to which these cells are resistant.

3H-azidopine photoaffinity labeling of high molecular weight proteins in chloroquine resistant falciparum malaria.

Using 3H-azidopine, we have succeeded in labeling proteins from chloroquine resistant (CR) human falciparum malaria parasites in the molecular weight range of 155-170 kd. Vinblastine does not compete, but azidopine blocks the labeling using 3H-azidopine. Relatively little or no labeling of the 155-170 kd protein is seen in the chloroquine sensitive strain using 3H-azidopine. Further competition can be seen with nicardipine and reserpine (71%) respectively and verapamil (61%), chloroquine (48%), quinacrine (56%), trifluoperazine (32%) and chlorpromazine (33%). We speculate that this may be the glycoprotein responsible for the resistance to chloroquine in falciparum malaria.

Photoaffinity labeling of hamster brown adipose tissue mitochondria by an [125I] coenzyme A derivative: differential interaction with the uncoupling protein and ADP/ATP carrier.

We have recently synthesized an azido [125I] CoA photolabel, N-(3-iodo-4-azidophenyl propionamide) cysteinyl-5-(2'thiopyridyl cysteine) CoA that specifically labeled the ADP/ATP carrier in beef heart mitochondria. In this study brown adipose tissue mitochondria were photolabeled with the azido [125I] ACT-CoA derivative with or without inhibitors. SDS gel electrophoresis and autoradiography of the separated proteins revealed exclusive photolabeling of two polypeptides corresponding to the ADP/ATP carrier and uncoupling protein. In the presence of carboxyatracytloside only the 32 kD UCP was labeled by [125I] ACT-CoA, whereas preincubation with GDP resulted in exclusive photolabeling of the 30 kD ADP/ATP carrier. Palmitoyl CoA but not palmitic acid inhibited photolabeling of both polypeptides.

Photoaffinity labeling of protein phosphatase 2A, the receptor for a tumor promoter okadaic acid, by [27-3H]methyl 7-O-(4-azidobenzoyl)okadaate.

The interaction of okadaic acid and a protein phosphatase, which is the receptor for a tumor promoter, okadaic acid, was studied. [27-3H]Methyl 7-O-(4-azidobenzoyl)okadaate was synthesized and protein phosphatase 2A, which consists of two regulatory subunits of 65 kDa and 42 kDa and a catalytic subunit of 37 kDa, was purified from bovine brain. After UV irradiation of the reaction mixture, [3H]methyl 7-O-(4-azidobenzoyl)okadaate covalently bound to the catalytic subunit, but not to the two regulatory subunits. These results strongly suggest that okadaic acid, a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases, binds specifically to the catalytic subunit rather than to the other regulatory subunits.

Fluorescent and photoaffinity labeling derivatives of rhizoxin.

A fluorescent probe (D-RZX) and a photoreactive fluorescent probe (AD-RZX) for studying the rhizoxin binding site on tubulin were prepared by the derivatization of rhizoxin (RZX). D-RZX consists of a rhizoxin moiety and a dansyl moiety. AD-RZX has a 5-azidonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl moiety instead of the dansyl moiety of D-RZX. Both D-RZX and AD-RZX bound tubulin in a mutually competitive manner with rhizoxin, indicating their binding to the rhizoxin site on tubulin. AD-RZX bound the rhizoxin site covalently after UV-irradiation, thus showing its usefulness as a photo-affinity probe for labeling of the rhizoxin site.

Fluorescent and photoaffinity labeling probes for retinoic acid receptors.

A fluorescent probe for retinoid receptors (RARs) was designed and prepared. The probe consists of a retinoid moiety and a dansyl moiety, i.e., 2-[3-(5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)- aminopropyl-1-oxy]-4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2- naphthalenyl)carboxamido]benzoic acid: DAM-3. DAM-3 specifically bound RARs. Additionally, a photoreactive RAR fluorescent probe was designed and prepared, i.e., 2-[3-(5-azidonaphthalene- 1-sulfonyl)aminopropyl-1-oxy]-4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8- tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carboxamido]benzoic acid (ADAM-3). ADAM-3 irreversibly and specifically bound RARs using ultraviolet irradiation.

Photoaffinity labeling of plasma membrane receptors for aldosterone from human mononuclear leukocytes.

Non-genomic effects of aldosterone on the sodium-proton-antiport have been shown in human mononuclear leukocytes which could be related to a new aldosterone membrane receptor. In the present paper plasma membranes from human mononuclear leukocytes were covalently photolabeled with a [125I]-aldosterone derivative. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed significant aldosterone binding at a molecular weight of approximately 50000 Dalton which was absent with 1 microM cold aldosterone, but not cortisol in the binding media. The presence of the sulfhydryl agent dithiothreitol did not affect results suggesting the absence of disulfide bridges in the steroid binding domain of the receptor. These data are the first to define the molecular weight of the membrane receptor for aldosterone.

Photoreactivity of lysergic acid diethylamide and its possible utility as a photoaffinity labeling reagent.

Aqueous solutions of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) are extremely sensitive to light in the near-ultraviolet region of the spectrum. This rather efficient photoreaction yields a variety of products which have very low affinity for LSD-binding sites on plasma membranes from Fasciola hepatica. Since this photoreaction may be elicited by normal white fluorescent lighting in the laboratory, it represents a potential source of error in determining the binding affinity of LSD. Utilizing this photoreactivity advantageously, [3H]LSD was used to photolabel membrane proteins. Covalent binding of [3H]LSD was shown to be a function of the duration of illumination and was inhibited by 5-hydroxytryptamine and nonradioactive LSD. Sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of [3H]LSD labeled membranes from F. hepatica showed two proteins which were selectively labeled by the photoreactive [3H]LSD. This method of direct photolabeling with non-derivatized [3H]LSD may allow identification of LSD-binding proteins in a variety of systems.

Photoaffinity labeling of beef liver monoamine oxidase-B by 4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl azide.

4-Fluoro-3-nitrophenyl azide (FNPA) competitively inhibited beef liver monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) in the dark (Ki = 2.8 microM). Upon irradiation in the presence of FNPA, a concentration-dependent photoinactivation of MAO-B was observed. The kinetic analysis showed that the photoinactivation of MAO-B resulted in a decrease in Vmax but no change in Km. This result suggests that an irreversible linkage may be formed between the enzyme and the photolyzed FNPA. When [3H]FNPA was photoirradiated with the purified MAO-B, a single radioactive band associated with MAO-B was observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The photo-dependent incorporation could be protected by phenylethylamine, the substrate for MAO-B, in a concentration-dependent manner. Complete tryptic-chymotryptic digestion of [3H]FNPA-labeled MAO-B resulted in three radioactive peaks on Sephadex G-25 column chromatography. With the same digestion and separation procedures, only one major radioactive peak was observed for the [3H]pargyline-labeled MAO-B, and its elution volume was different from that of [3H]FNPA-labeled peptides. These results suggest that, upon photolysis, FNPA may incorporate into a region in the active site of MAO-B which may be different from the pargyline binding site--the FAD prosthetic group of the enzyme.

Photoaffinity labelling of mitochondrial NADH: ubiquinone reductase with pethidine analogues.

1. Chemically reactive derivatives of pethidine analogues--novel potent inhibitors of the mitochondrial NADH: ubiquinone reductase (complex I)--were synthesized. 2. Dose-response curves of these components revealed that the photoactivatable aryl azido derivative has retained most of the inhibitory activity displayed by the parent substance. After introduction of a radioactive iodine isotope into the molecule, it was used as a probe for the localization of the inhibitor binding polypeptides within complex I. 3. Photolysis of the radiolabelled derivative bound to isolated complex I both from Neurospora crassa and beef heart resulted in a covalent incorporation of the inhibitor into 6-7 individual subunits of the enzyme. Essentially the same labelling patterns were obtained, when whole mitochondrial membranes were incubated with the reactive derivative. 4. Applying a double isotope labelling technique, the inhibitor-binding polypeptides in N. crassa were identified as mitochondrially synthesized constituents of complex I (ND gene products). In the beef heart enzyme the ND-1 product was detected to be among the polypeptides reacting with the inhibitor. 5. Competition experiments employing either NADH or decylbenzoquinone (DB), together with the pethidine analogue, showed that both enzyme substrates interfere specifically with the inhibitor binding to complex I.

New photoaffinity labels for rat brain muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

Localization of the ligand binding site on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors is one of the new fields of interest opened by the recent determination of their primary structures. Owing to their interesting photochemical properties, aryldiazonium salts may be considered as appropriate tools for "tagging" the agonist/antagonist binding domain and to get precise identification and positioning of covalently labelled residues along the primary sequence of these receptors. A series of aryldiazonium derivatives and some of their azido-analogs were synthesized and their reversible muscarinic binding component was assessed through competition experiments involving either the whole population of receptor sites [( 3H]QNB assay) or the super high affinity of their agonist binding sites [( 3H]OXO-M assay). Three compounds fulfilled the criteria for efficient photolabels, allowing substantial and irreversible occupation of the receptor sites to be obtained. Interestingly, the two diazonium derivatives which were selected have been previously described as potent photoprobes of the peripheral nicotinic receptor and of acetylcholinesterase, though displaying lower binding affinities for these acetylcholine binding proteins than for the muscarinic receptors. These findings, together with the all-to-none photolabelling efficiency observed for a quinuclidine derivative, substituted either by an azido or a diazonium group, are discussed. Finally, the apparent lack of binding selectivity of these new photo-affinity probes towards muscarinic receptor affinity states or subtypes should allow comparative studies of the acetylcholine binding site on different muscarinic receptor proteins, obtained either through purification procedures or expression of separate gene products.
