Popis: 8-Azido-[α- 32 P]ATP (8-N 3 -ATP) was used as a photoaffinity label for ATP binding sites in the subcellular fractions of rabbit peritoneal neutrophils. The radioactive 8-N 3 -ATP was specifically incorporated into one major protein of 43 kDa. The isoelectric point, molecular mass and subcellular distribution of this labeled protein closely resemble those of the actin. 8-N 3 -[α- 32 P]ATP was further tested as a photoaffinity label for the ATP binding site in the purified rabbit skeletal muscle G-actin. The radioactive 8-N 3 -ATP was specifically incorporated into the actin band in SDS—polyacrylamide gel. The results indicate that 8-N 3 -ATP can be used as a photoaffinity label for actin.
