Photoaffinity cross-linking of F1ATPase from spinach chloroplasts by 3'-arylazido-beta-alanyl-8-azido ATP.

1994

UV irradiation of the ATPase (CF1) from spinach chloroplasts in the presence of 3'-arylazido-beta-alanyl-8-azido ATP (8,3'-DiN3ATP) results in a nucleotide-dependent inactivation of the enzyme and in a nucleotide-dependent formation of alpha-beta cross-links. The results demonstrate an interfacial localization of the nucleotide binding sites on CF1.

Photoaffinity cross-linking of F1ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 by 3′-arylazido-β-alanyl-2-azido ATP

1989

AbstractThe photoactivatable bifunctional 3′-arylazido-β-alanyl-2-azido ATP (2,3′-DiN3ATP) has been applied to study the localization of the nucleotide-binding sites of coupling factor 1 (F1ATPase, TF1) from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 by photoaffinity cross-linking. UV irradiation of TF1 in the presence of 2,3′-DiN3ATP results in the nucleotide-dependent formation of various higher molecular mass cross-links formed by two, three or even four α- and/or β-subunits. The differences observed upon photoaffinity cross-linking by the bifunctional 2-azido ATP or 8-azido ATP analog are discussed. They are probably due to the varied maximal distance between both azido groups, or to the different …

3'-Arylazido-beta-alanyl-2-azido ATP, a cross-linking photoaffinity label for F1ATPases.

1989

Abstract The synthesis of the 3′-arylazido-2-azido ATP derivative 3′-O-{3-[N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-amino]propionyl}2-azido-adenosine 5′-triphosphate (2,3′-DiN3ATP) is described. The bifunc­ tional photoreactive ATP analog is characterized spectroscopically. Photoaffinity labeling of F, ATPase from Micrococcus luteus by this analog results in the inactivation of the enzyme and in the formation of higher molecular weight cross-links,

Photoaffinity labeling of the coupling factor 1 from the thermophilic bacterum PS3 by 8-azido ATP

1984

AbstractTo localize the nucleotide binding sites of the F1ATPase (TF1) from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 we have used 14C-labeled 8-azido ATP (8-N3ATP) as photoaffmity label. 8-N3ATP is hydrolyzed by the F,ATPase in the absence of ultraviolet light. Irradiation by ultraviolet light of the enzyme in the presence of 8-N3ATP results in reduction of ATPase activity and in preferential nucleotide specific labeling of the α subunits (0.8–0.9 mol 8-N3ATP/TF1,α:β = 4:1). Inactivation and labeling do not depend on the presence of Mg2+. Both effects decrease upon addition of various nucleotide di- or triphosphates.

UV-induced cross-linking of Tet repressor to DNA containing tet operator sequences and 8-azidoadenines.

1990

The synthesis of 8-azido-2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-triphosphate is described. The photoreactive dATP analog was characterized by thin layer chromatography, proton resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and UV spectroscopy. Its photolysis upon UV irradiation was studied. After incorporation of this dATP analog into DNA containing the tet operator sequence the investigation of the interactions between tet operator DNA and Tet repressor protein by UV photocross-linking becomes possible. Photocross-linking of protein to DNA was demonstrated by the reduced migration of the DNA in SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Addition of the inducer tetracycline prior to UV irradiation significantly …

2,8-Diazido-ATP — a short-length bifunctional photoaffinity label for photoaffinity cross-linking of a stable F1 in ATP synthase (from thermophilic b…

1995

Abstract To demonstrate the direct interfacial position of nucleotide binding sites between subunits of proteins we have synthesized the bifunctional photoaffinity label 2,8-diazidoadenosine 5′-triphosphate (2,8-DiN3ATP). UV irradiation of the F1-ATPase (TF1) from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 in the presence of 2,8-DiN3ATP results in a nucleotide-dependent inactivation of the enzyme and in a nucleotide-dependent formation of α-β crosslinks. The results confirm an interfacial localization of all the nucleotide binding sites on TF1.
