A photoaffinity analog of colchicine, 6-(4'-azido-2'-nitrophenylamino)hexanoyldeacetylcolchicine, was synthesized by reacting deacetylcolchicine or [3H]deacetylcochicine with N-succinimidyl-6-(4'-azido-2'-nitrophenylamino)hexanoate. Homogeneity of the photoaffinity analog was established by thin-layer chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography. The structure of the photoaffinity analog was determined by 1H and 13C NMR, infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopies, and elemental analysis. Binding of 6-(4'-azido-2'-nitrophenylamino)hexanoyldeacetylcolchicine to bovine renal tubulin was measured by competition with [3H]colchicine. The value of the apparent Ki for the photoaffinity analog was 0.28 microM in the concentration range of 0.8-1.2 microM of the analog. A value of 0.50 microM for the apparent Kd was measured by the direct binding of the tritiated photoaffinity analog to tubulin. The analog is slightly more potent an inhibitor of microtubule formation than colchicine. The photoaffinity analog reacted with renal tubulin upon irradiation with a mercury lamp equipped with a 420-nm cutoff filter. Spectral and radiochemical analyses of the tubulin after photolysis and dialysis have demonstrated a stoichiometric incorporation of the photoaffinity analog in the alpha-subunit of the tubulin. Covalent labeling of tubulin with the photoaffinity analog decreases the extent of [3H]colchicine binding by more than 90%. |
