摘要
[H-3]4-[(3-trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl]benzoylcholine (TDBzcholine) was synthesized and used as a photoaffinity probe to map the orientation of an aromatic choline ester within the agonist binding sites of the Torpedo nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). TDBzcholine acts as a nAChR competitive antagonist that binds at equilibrium with equal affinity to both agonist sites (K-D similar to 10 muM). Upon UV irradiation (350 nm), nAChR-rich membranes equilibrated with [H-3]TDBzcholine incorporate H-3 into the alpha, gamma, and delta subunits in an agonist-inhibitable manner. The specific residues labeled by [H-3]TDBzcholine were determined by N-terminal sequence analysis of subunit fragments produced by enzymatic cleavage and purified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and/or reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. For the alpha subunit, [H-3]TDBzcholine photoincorporated into alphaCys192, alphaCys-193, and alphaPro-194. For the gamma and delta subunits, [H-3]TDBzcholine incorporated into homologous leucine residues, gammaLeu-109 and deltaLeu-111. The photolabeling of these amino acids suggests that when the antagonist TDBzcholine occupies the agonist binding sites, the Cys- 192-193 disulfide and Pro-194 from the alpha subunit Segment C are oriented toward the agonist site and are in proximity to gammaLeu- 109/deltaLeu-111 in Segment E, a conclusion consistent with the structure of the binding site in the molluscan acetylcholine binding protein, a soluble protein that is homologous to the nAChR extracellular domain.
