Previously we have been able to restrict the site of covalent attachment of a photolabile and radiolabeled derivative of substance P (SP), p-benzoylphenylalanine8-SP (Bpa8-SP), to residues 178-183 located on the second extracellular loop (E2) of the SP (NK-1) receptor (Boyd, N. D., Kage, R., Dumas, J. J., Krause, J. E., and Leeman, S. E. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 93, 433-437). To ascertain the specific amino acid in this sequence that serves as the site of covalent attachment for 125I-Bolton-Hunter reagent (BH)-Bpa8-SP, we have employed here a novel solid-phase approach to cyanogen bromide cleavage of the photolabeled receptor followed by mass spectrometric analysis of a purified labeled fragment. SP receptors on transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells were photolabeled with isotopically diluted 125I-BH-Bpa8-SP. A membrane preparation of the photolabeled receptors was adsorbed onto C-18-derivatized silica gel and cleaved with cyanogen bromide. A single radiolabeled fragment containing 63% of the photoincorporated radioactivity was generated and purified by high performance liquid chromatography. Mass spectrometric analysis identified a single molecular ion with a molecular mass of 1751.4 +/- 2, establishing that upon irradiation the bound photoligand forms a covalent link with the methyl group of a methionine residue at the peptide binding site. In view of our previous findings, this methionine is Met-181 on the primary sequence of the SP receptor.
