Photoaffinity labeling in target- and binding-site identification.
Photoaffinity labeling (PAL) using a chemical probe to covalently bind its target in response to activation by light has become a frequently used tool in drug discovery for identifying new drug targets and molecular interactions, and for probing the location and structure of binding sites. Methods to identify the specific target proteins of hit molecules from phenotypic screens are highly valua...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of the cAMP binding proteins of yeast by photoaffinity labeling.
3':5'-Adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) is implicated in a wide variety of biological phenomena. There is convincing evidence that CAMP exerts its influence by activating specific protein kinases in the cell (1). In hormonesensitive cells it is believed that the hormone activates production of intracellular CAMP, that this leads to phosphorylation of specific proteins, and that the specific patter...
متن کاملPhotoaffinity labeling of retinoic acid-binding proteins.
Retinoid-binding proteins are essential mediators of vitamin A function in vertebrate organisms. They solubilize and stabilize retinoids, and they direct the intercellular and intracellular trafficking, transport, and metabolic function of vitamin A compounds in vision and in growth and development. Although many soluble retinoid-binding proteins and receptors have been purified and extensively...
متن کاملPhotoaffinity labeling of peptide hormone binding sites.
The known binding of a derivative of the COOH-terminal tetrapeptide of gastrin with high biological activity to bovine serum albumin suggests a convenient model system for testing the affinity labeling of hormone binding sites. Photolysis of 4-azidobenzoylpentagastrin, Z-nitro-5-azidobenzoylpentagastrin, 4-acetylbenzoylpentagastrin, and 4-benzoylbenzoylpentagastrin in the presence of bovine ser...
متن کاملPhotoaffinity labeling of rat androgen binding protein.
The photoinactivation and photoaffinity labeling of androgen binding sites present in cytosol prepared from intact sexually mature rat epididymides have been demonstrated by using unlabeled and [3H]-labeled 17 beta-hydroxy-4,6-androstadien-3-one. Both photoinactivation and photolabeling are dependent upon exposure to light. These processes are inhibited when photolysis is conducted in the prese...
