Abstract
Photoaffinity heterobifunctional cross-linking reagents are described that incorporate a 4-azidosali-cylate group at one terminus and an N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester at the other terminus with a “linking arm” of variable length separating the photoactive and electrophilic termini. Exposure of calmodulin (CaM) to succinimidyl N-[2-[(4-azidosalicyloyl)oxy]ethyl]suberamate (4C) led to monoad-ducts at Lys-21, Lys-75, and Lys-94. Separation of the monoadducts from CaM and polyadducts, radioiodination, and photolysis in the presence of human erythrocyte plasma membrane Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase led to calcium-dependent cross-linking with 8% cross-linking efficiency.
