Abstract
Photoaffinity labeling with [2‘-32P]2N3NADP+ and [32P]2N3NAD+ was used to identify two overlapping tryptic and chymotryptic generated peptides within the adenine binding domain of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). Photolysis was required for insertion of radiolabel, and prior photolysis of photoprobes before addition of IDH prevented insertion. Photoincorporation of 2N3NAD+ inhibited the enzymatic activity of IDH. Photolabeling of IDH with both [32P]2N3NAD+ and [2‘-32P]2N3NADP+ showed saturation effects with apparent Kds of 20 and 14 μM (±12%), respectively. The efficiency of photoincorporation at saturation of binding sites was determined to be about 50%. Also, photolabeling was observed with [32P]8N3ATP and [32P]2N3ATP but with saturation effects observed at lower affinity. With all radiolabeled probes reduction of photoinsertion was effected best by the addition of NADP+ followed by NAD+ and then ATP, indicating that photoinsertion with all the probes was within the NADP+ binding site. Isolation of [32P]2N3NAD+ and [2‘-32P]2N3NADP+ photolabeled peptides by use of immobilized boronate and immobilized Al3+ chromatography, respectively, followed by HPLC purification resulted in the identification of overlapping peptides corresponding to Ile244-Arg249 and Leu121-Arg133 (tryptic fragments) and Lys243-His248 and Leu121-His135 (chymotryptic fragments). Trp125 and Trp245 were identified as the sites of photoinsertion based on these residues not being detectable on sequencing, the lack of chymotryptic cleavage at these residues, and the decreased rate of trypsin digestion at nearby Lys243 and Lys127. Sequence analysis of [32P]8N3ATP and [32P]2N3ATP photolabeled peptides gave essentially the same peptide regions being photolabeled but at much lower efficiency, indicating that the effects of ATP on IDH activity are dependent on competition for the same site.
