A new active site-directed photoaffinity analogue, [beta-32P]5-azido-UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA), was enzymatically synthesized from [beta-32P]5-N3UDP-Glc using UDP-glucose dehydrogenase. The product was characterized by its mobility on ion exchange and two thin-layer chromatographic systems, by its UV absorbance at 288 nm, and the loss of this absorbance after UV irradiation of the compound. Photoincorporation of [beta-32P]5-N3UDP-GlcA into bovine liver UDP-Glc dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.22) was saturable with an apparent Kd of 12.5 microM, and was inhibited by the known active-site effectors UDP-GlcA, UDP-Glc, and UDP-xylose. When human liver microsomes with known UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) activities were photolabeled with [beta-32P]5-N3UDP-GlcA, major photolabeled bands of 35-37 and 50-54 kDa were detected. When rat liver microsomes from phenobarbital-injected rats were photolabeled with [beta-32P]5-N3UDP-GlcA, there was a marked increase in photoincorporation of a 51-kDa protein as compared with control animals. Evidence is presented which suggests that the photolabeled 51-54-kDa proteins in the liver microsomes from both tissues are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and that [beta-32P]5-N3UDP-GlcA represents a new alternative approach in the study of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and other UDP-GlcA-utilizing enzymes.
