( sup 125 I)Iodoazidococaine, a photoaffinity label for the haloperidol-sensitive sigma receptor
- Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison (United States)
A carrier-free radioiodinated cocaine photoaffinity label, (-)-3-({sup 125}I)iodo-4-azidococaine (({sup 125}I)IACoc), has been synthesized and used as a probe for cocaine-binding proteins. Photoaffinity labeling with 0.5 nM ({sup 125}I)IACoc resulted in selective derivatization of a 26-kDa polypeptide with the pharmacology of a sigma receptor in membranes derived from whole rat brain, rat liver, and human placenta. ({sup 125}I)IACoc labeling of the 26-kDa polypeptide was also inhibited by 10 {mu}M imipramine, amitriptyline, fluoxetine, benztropine, and tetrabenazine. The size of the ({sup 125}I)I-ACoc-labeled proteins is consistent with the size of proteins photolabeled in guinea pig brain and liver membranes by using the sigma photolabel azido-({sup 3}H)DTG. Kinetic analysis of ({sup 125}I)IACoc binding to rat liver microsomes revealed two sites with K{sub d} values of 19 and 126 pM, respectively. The presence or absence of proteolytic inhibitors during membrane preparation did not alter the size of the photolabeled sigma receptor, indicating that the 26-kDa polypeptide was not derived from a larger protein. In summary, ({sup 125}I)IACoc is a potent and highly specific photoaffinity label for the haloperidol-sensitive sigma receptor and will be useful for its biochemical and molecular characterization.
