Abstract

Photoaffinity labeling methods are being used to define the molecular contacts between taxol and its target protein, tubulin. Our laboratory has demonstrated previously that [3H]3'-(p-azidobenzamido)taxol photolabels the N-terminal 31 amino acids of beta-tubulin (Rao, S., Krauss, N.E., Heerding, J.M., Swindell, C.S., Ringel, I., Orr, G.A., and Horwitz, S.B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 3132-3134). The interaction of a second photoaffinity analogue of taxol, [3H]2-(m-azidobenzoyl)taxol, with tubulin has been investigated. This analogue specifically photolabels beta-tubulin and the photolabeling is completed by both taxol and unlabeled 2-(m-azidobenzoyl)-taxol indicating a common binding domain. To identify the site(s) of photoincorporation, [3H]2-(m-azidobenzoyl)taxol-photolabeled beta-tubulin was subjected to sequential cyanogen bromide and tryptic digestions. Radiolabeled peptides were purified by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography, and amino acid sequencing studies identified a peptide containing amino acid residues 217-231 of beta-tubulin as the major photolabeled domain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
