Isatin (indole-2,3-dione) is an endogenous indole that has a distinct and discontinuous distribution in the brain and in other mammalian tissues and body fluids. Its output is increased under conditions of stress and anxiety. Isatin itself and its analogues exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities but its specific biological targets still are not well characterized. Affinity chromatography of Triton X-100 lysates of soluble and particulate fractions of mouse and rat whole brain homogenates on 5-aminocaproyl-isatin-Sepharose followed by subsequent proteomic analysis resulted in identification of 65 and 64 individual proteins, respectively. Isatin-binding capacity of some of the identified proteins has been validated in an optical biosensor study using a Biacore 3000 optical biosensor, 5-aminocarproyl-isatin, and 5-aminoisatin as the affinity ligands. The K(d) values (of 0.1-20 microM) obtained during the optical biosensor experiments were consistent with the range of K(d) values recently reported for [(3)H]isatin binding to brain sections. Although the number of isatin-binding proteins identified in the mouse and rat brain was similar, only 21 proteins (about one-third) were identical in the two species. This may be one reason for the differences in isatin effects in rats and mice reported in the literature.
