The 4-azidosalicylate derivative of 1,3-bis(D-mannos-4'-yloxy)-2-[2-3H]propylamine (ASA-[2-3H]BMPA) has been tested as a photoaffinity label for the sugar transporter in human erythrocytes. When photolysed in the presence of intact erythrocytes, ASA-[2-3H]BMPA covalently binds to the exofacial surface of the transporter. This labelled protein appears as a broad band in the 4.5 region in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The peak of radiolabel incorporation gives an apparent Mr of approx. 50 000 on 5-20% acrylamide gels. The binding is 80% inhibitable by 320 mM 4,6-O-ethylidene-D-glucose, by 320 mM D-glucose and by 50 microM cytochalasin B. Photoirradiation of a saturating concentration of ASA-BMPA in the presence of erythrocytes results in a 25-30% loss of D-galactose transport activity. From transport inactivation data and estimations of the amount of ASA-[2-3H]BMPA binding to the transporter it is calculated that there are approx. 220 000 exofacial hexose-transport binding sites per erythrocyte. The labelling of the transporter has been carried out using freshly drawn blood and 4-weeks-old transfusion blood. No change in the binding profile on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was observed. Proteolytic digestion of the ASA-[2-3H]BMPA-labelled transporter with either trypsin or alpha-chymotrypsin results in the appearance of a labelled 19 kDa fragment on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
