Abstract
The ligand-induced proteolytic cleavage of the V2 vasopressin receptor transiently expressed in COS cells was investigated. After incubation of the cell membranes with a photoreactive ligand possessing full agonistic properties for V2 receptors, approximately 90% of the porcine and bovine V2 vasopressin receptors were cleaved in the upper part of transmembrane helix 2 at a heptapeptide sequence conserved in both vasopressin and oxytocin receptors. The oxytocin receptor was completely resistant to proteolysis after binding the same photoreactive ligand, which is only a partial agonist for this receptor. Chimeric V2/oxytocin receptors obtained by transfer of extracellular domains of the oxytocin receptor into the V2 receptor showed an increase in binding affinity for oxytocin versus vasopressin and a diminished cleavage. The proteolysis-resistant chimeric V2/oxytocin receptor, which contains the first three extracellular domains of the oxytocin receptor, stimulated cAMP accumulation to a larger extent in response to vasopressin than the wild-type receptor and showed impaired desensitization of the adenylate cyclase system. Our data indicate that the proteolytic cleavage of the V2 receptor requires a defined conformation, especially of the first two extracellular domains that is induced by agonist binding. Furthermore, the results suggest that the proteolytic V2 receptor cleavage might play a role in signal termination at elevated hormone concentrations.

Abstract
The bile acids cholate and taurocholate on the one hand and the cyclopeptide c(Phe-Thr-Lys-Trp-Phe-D-Pro) (008), an analog of somatostatin with retro sequence, on the other hand, display mutually competitive transport inhibition into isolated rat hepatocytes. This indicates a common transport system for bile acids and cyclosomatostatins in sinusoidal rat liver plasma membranes. In order to identify and isolate common binding and/or transport proteins for bile acids and the cyclopeptides by affinity chromatography, the bile acid derivative 4'-amino-7-benzamidotaurocholate (ABATC) and the cyclosomatostatin-analog 008 were attached to a gel matrix. Two methods were used to prepare integral membrane proteins: (1) alkaline EDTA extraction and (2) Triton X-114 phase separation. Octyl glycoside solubilized, alkaline EDTA-extracted integral basolateral membrane proteins with apparent molecular masses of 52 and 48 kDa bound specifically to the ABATC affinity matrix. Two-phase Triton X-114 separated integral membrane proteins of the same molecular masses bound specifically to the cyclosomatostatin ligand. The 48 kDa ABATC and 008 binding protein was shown to be present in the basolateral plasma membrane fraction and in the microsomal fraction. The isolated 52 kDa ABATC binding protein was localized only in basolateral plasma membranes and could not be found in isolated microsomes.

Abstract
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) was considered to be involved in the hepatic uptake of certain organic anions because the protein is photoaffinity labeled by photolabile derivatives of the bile acid taurocholate. Several lines of evidences including photoaffinity labeling experiments indicated a close relationship between the uptake of bile acids and the organic anion bumetanide. The possible involvement of PDI in hepatic transport processes of these organic anions was tested with polyclonal antibodies raised against a PDI-beta-galactosidase fusion protein. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence of intact hepatocytes showed that protein disulfide isomerase is located in sinusoidal rat liver plasma membranes. This protein is immunologically identical with microsomal PDI prepared from bovine liver. The plasma membrane form of PDI is, however, not labeled by photoactivated bumetanide as revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that, although a membrane-bound form of the PDI is present in the sinusoidal plasma membrane of rat hepatocytes, this protein is not involved in the hepatocellular uptake of the organic anion bumetanide.

A 46 kDa ATP binding polypeptide of the nuclear envelope, virtually identical to the nuclear envelope NTPase putatively involved in mRNA efflux [6], is present in all rat liver cell membranes. Its presence in nuclear envelope is not the result of cross contamination during isolation.

Abstract
By affinity labeling with photolabile [3H]bumetanide, a 52-54 kDa bumetanide binding protein was identified in the sinusoidal plasma membrane fraction from rat liver. The protein is assumed to represent the carrier for hepatic uptake of loop diuretics. By two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis we have purified this protein from hepatocytes, sinusoidal plasma membranes and subfractions of associated and integral plasma membrane proteins. Amongst more than 20 protein spots, a single integral plasma membrane protein was detected. The apparent pI of this molecule is 6.7. Specific labeling of this protein was not found in the fraction of associated plasma membrane proteins. To detect possible binding of radioactive bumetanide to microsomal cytochrome P450s, photolabeling experiments with integral plasma membrane proteins were performed under nitrogen/carbon monoxide atmosphere and in the presence of piperonyl butoxide. Labeling of the 52-54 kDa protein was not affected by these inhibitors of P450 enzymes. Taken together, these results indicate that the bumetanide binding protein is very likely to be a non-microsomal integral plasma membrane protein.

Abstract
The apparent target size of 14C-azidobenzamidotaurocholate binding proteins in basolateral rat liver plasma membranes (blPm) was determined by analysis of the radiation induced decrease of the binding of this photoreactive taurocholate analog to blPm. Radiation causes a dose-dependent mono-exponential reduction of binding of ABATC to the protein subunits with molecular masses of 48-50 and 52-54 kDa in SDS-PAGE. The minimal functional molecular mass of the 48-50 and 52-54 kDa ABATC binding proteins was determined to be 99 +/- 8.2 and 93.2 +/- 7 kDa, respectively.

Abstract
To identify proteins involved in the hepatocellular uptake of loop diuretics, [3H]bumetanide was photoactivated by light flash in the presence of either intact isolated rat hepatocytes, rat liver basolateral plasma membranes or integral membrane proteins extracted from the basolateral plasma membranes. Proteins of 52-54, 48, 33, 27, 25 and 23 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis were radiolabeled on intact hepatocytes. On liver basolateral plasma membranes a 50-52 kDa protein was the most intensely labeled protein. After separation into integral and associated membrane proteins by extraction with Triton X-114, radioactive labeling was only found in integral membrane proteins with a molecular weight of 50-52 kDa. Photoactivated bumetanide irreversibly inhibited the hepatocellular uptake of cholate, taurocholate but not of serine. Binding proteins for photoactivated bumetanide were absent on AS 30-D ascites hepatoma cells. Labeling of all proteins was sodium dependent in intact hepatocytes but was sodium independent in plasma membranes. Labeling was prevented by non-labeled bumetanide and by the loop diuretics piretanide and furosemide. Labeling protection was further achieved with organic anions such as bromosulfophthalein, rifampicin, probenecid and by the bile acids taurocholate, deoxycholate and dehydrocholate. The radiolabeled proteins did not belong to the bumetanide-sensitive NaCl/KCl co-transport system which apparently does not occur in intact isolated rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
In order to produce monoclonal antibodies directed against different epitopes of the neurohypophyseal hormone vasopressin, the hormone was coupled to carrier proteins via photoreactive groups at different positions in the vasopressin sequence: [2-(4-azidophenylalanine), 8-arginine]vasopressin (peptide P1, photoreactive group at position 2) and desamino-[8-N6-(4-azidophenylamidino)lysine]vasopressin (peptide P2, photoreactive group at position 8) were conjugated to thyroglobulin by flash photolysis. Monoclonal antibodies against these conjugates bound ([3H]8-arginine]vasopressin with dissociation constants ranging over 40-400 nM. Epitope analysis by means of competitive ELISA showed that the monoclonal antibody obtained with peptide P1 as hapten was directed against the C-terminal acyclic tripeptide when its conformation was stabilized by interaction with the disulphide-linked cyclic hexapeptide. In contrast, the epitope analysis of three monoclonal anti-(peptide P2) antibodies demonstrated that they recognized antigenic determinants in the cyclic hexapeptide ring, mainly the hydrophobic surface formed by Tyr2 and Phe3. Our results suggest that monoclonal antibodies against different epitopes in small peptide hormones can be generated selectively by using photoreactive peptides in such a way that different antigenic sites are exposed in the hapten-carrier conjugate.

Abstract
Carrier-mediated transport of drugs occurs in various tissues in the body and may largely affect the rate of distribution and elimination. Saturable translocation mechanisms allowing competitive interactions have been identified in the kidneys (tubular secretion), mucosal cells in the gut (intestinal absorption and secretion), choroid plexus (removal of drug from the cerebrospinal fluid), and liver (hepatobiliary excretion). Drugs with quaternary and tertiary amine groups represent the large category of organic cations that can be transported via such mechanisms. The hepatic and to a lesser extent the intestinal cation carrier systems preferentially recognize relatively large molecular weight amphipathic compounds. In the case of multivalent cationic drugs, efficient transport only occurs if large hydrophobic ring structures provide a sufficient lipophilicity-hydrophilicity balance within the drug molecule. At least two separate carrier systems for hepatic uptake of organic cations have been identified through kinetic and photoaffinity labeling studies. In addition absorptive endocytosis may play a role that along with proton-antiport systems and membrane potential driven transport may lead to intracellular sequestration in lysosomes and mitochondria. Concentration gradients of inorganic ions may represent the driving forces for hepatic uptake and biliary excretion of drugs. Recent studies that aim to the identification of potential membrane carrier proteins indicate multiple carriers for organic anions, cations, and uncharged compounds with molecular weights around 50,000 Da. They may represent a family of closely related proteins exhibiting overlapping substrate specificity or, alternatively, an aspecific transport system that mediates translocation of various forms of drugs coupled with inorganic ions. Consequently, extensive pharmacokinetic interactions can be anticipated at the level of uptake and secretion of drugs regardless of their charge.

Abstract
The photoreactive analogue of vasopressin, [1-(3-mercapto)propionic acid, 8-(N6-4-azidophenyl-amidino)lysine] vasopressin (apa-LVP) could be used to elicit stimulation of cAMP production in LLC-PK renal epithelial cells, detectable up to 24 h after photoactivation by flash photolysis. This is in contrast to cells treated with vasopressin, or apa-LVP without photoactivation, where cAMP synthesis is down regulated within 4 h. The prolonged stimulation of cAMP production induced by photoactivation of apa-LVP was demonstrated to be cytotoxic to LLC-PK1 cells, whereas the vasopressin receptor negative LLC-PK1 mutant M18 was resistant to the cytotoxic effect. A selection strategy was developed for mutants resistant to this long-term stimulation of cAMP production, whereby multiple cycles of treatment with apa-LVP and photoactivation were used. Mutants so selected were then characterized using a novel screening system for detection of the production of urokinase-type plasminogen activator in response to cAMP agonists. One mutant was examined and found to be impaired in hormonal responsiveness, whereby hormone and forskolin stimulated cAMP-mediated responses were markedly reduced. It exhibited resistance to the long-term stimulation of cAMP production elicited by apa-LVP and photoactivation. This implies that apa-LVP can be used to select for novel mutants specifically impaired in cAMP metabolism and in particular down-regulation of cAMP response.

Abstract
Neonatal hepatocytes are less active in uptake of bile acids than are mature hepatocytes. This phenomenon has been further investigated by transport studies with azidobenzamidotaurocholate (ABATC). Taurocholate, cholate and the photolabile ABATC were taken up by liver cells of adult rats by a sodium-dependent and by an additional sodium-independent mechanism. In the dark, ABATC inhibited the uptake of taurocholate and cholate. Taurocholate decreased the transport of ABATC in a competitive manner, both in the presence and absence of sodium. In neonatal hepatocytes the Vmax for taurocholate and for ABATC was similar but was lower than in mature liver cells. In contrast, the Km was similar for neonatal and mature hepatocytes. For identification of binding proteins in both kinds of cells ABATC was photolysed after preincubation with isolated hepatocytes. Under our experimental conditions (single ultraviolet flash) about 80% of the azido groups was converted to nitrene. The covalently binding nitrene derivative inhibited bile salt transport irreversibly. Photolabeling of intact hepatocytes or of isolated plasma membranes with ABATC resulted in radioindication of membrane proteins with 67, 60, 54, 50 and 43 kDa in mature plasma membranes but of proteins with masses of 67, 54, 43 and 37 kDa in neonatal basolateral membranes. The 50 kDa protein in largely lacking in membranes of 9-day-old rats. The process of photolabeling itself was sodium-independent when isolated cells were treated with ABATC. In contrast, the degree of labeling of intact hepatocytes was markedly reduced in the absence of sodium and chloride. 100-fold molar excess of taurocholate, benzamidotaurocholate (BATC), phalloidin or cyclosomatostatin protected isolated plasma membranes against coupling of ABATC. Photolabeling of hepatoma cells known to be deficient in bile salt transport did not result in radiomodification of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Plasma membranes from rat mammary gland containing a high concentration of [3H]oxytocin binding sites (2.8 pmol/mg protein) were used for photoaffinity labelling experiments. Competitive binding experiments show that these receptors bind with high affinity the specific oxytocin agonist [Thr4, Sar7]oxytocin and the analogue of 1-deamino-[8-lysine]vasopressin containing a photoreactive azidobenzoyl group (Abz) at the side chain of lysine. The tritium-labelled (50 Ci/mol) photoreactive analogue incorporated into a membrane protein with an apparent relative molecular mass of 65,000 +/- 3000 Da (n = 16). The labelling of this protein was completely suppressed by an excess of oxytocin.

Abstract
Cyclo(-Phe(p-NH[1-14C]Ac)-Thr-Lys-(CO(p-N3)C6H4)-Trp-Phe-DPro++ +), in the following named azidobenzamido-008, was synthesized in order to identify binding sites for c(Phe-Thr-Lys-Trp-Phe-DPro), named 008, (a cyclosomatostatin with retro sequence) in liver cell plasma membranes. In the dark the above photolabel was taken up into isolated hepatocytes, inhibiting the sodium dependent uptake of cholate and taurocholate in a competitive manner (Ki for cholate uptake inhibition = 1 microM; Ki for taurocholate uptake inhibition = 5 microM). When activated by flashed light the inhibition became irreversible (IC50 for cholate uptake inhibition = 2 microM; IC50 for taurocholate uptake inhibition = 9 microM) and the activated cyclopeptide bound chiefly to hepatocellular membrane proteins of 67, 54, 50, 37 kDa. Excess of the initial 008, or of cholate or phalloidin partially protected the above membrane components against labeling with 14C-labeled azidobenzamido-008. In contrast AS 30 D ascites hepatoma cells, known to be deficient in bile acid and cyclosomatostatin transport, could not be specifically labeled by azidobenzamido-008. The membrane proteins preferentially labeled in hepatocytes (50 and 54 kDa) are integral glycoproteins. The 67 kDa protein is a hydrophilic nonglycosylated membrane component. Independent of labeling with 14C-labeled azidobenzamido-008 or with 14C-labeled azidobenzamido-taurocholate, the main radioactive peaks in the pH region of 7, 5.5, 5.25 were identical after solubilization with Nonidet P-40 and subsequent isoelectric focusing. Proteins of 67, 54, 50 and 37 kDa could be enriched by use of 008-containing gels in affinity electrophoresis. Binding sites for 008 were not destroyed by SDS or Nonidet P-40 treatment of plasma membranes.

Abstract
The specific binding of [3H]oxytoxin to uterine membrane preparations derived from different species at late pregnancy was examined. The highest receptor density (bmax value) was found in membranes derived from the myometria of guinea pigs between day 60 post-conception (bmax = 3.6 +/- 0.1 pmol/mg) and day 65 (bmax = 4.4 +/- 0.1 pmol/mg). The similarity of Kd values for oxytocin binding (Kd = 2.6 +/- 0.2 nM) and for vasopressin binding (Kd = 2.1 +/- 0.4 nM) to the same membranes derived from a guinea pig myometrium indicate a homogeneous population of high-affinity binding sites which do not discriminate between these two hormones. Competitive binding experiments with specific oxytocin agonists containing either sarcosine or N-methylalanine in the place of Pro7 demonstrated that these myometrial receptors have the pharmacological properties of oxytocin receptors. The analogue of 1-deamino-[8-lysine]vasopressin containing a photoreactive azidophenylamidino group at the sidechain of Lys8 retained roughly the same receptor affinity as oxytocin. In photoaffinity labelling experiments with the tritium-labelled analogue a membrane protein from guinea pig myometrium with an apparent relative molecular mass Mr of 78,000 +/- 5000 (n = 13) was preferentially labelled. The labelling of this protein was completely suppressed by a 100-fold molar excess of either oxytocin, or [Sar7]oxytocin or [Thr4, Sar7]oxytocin, but not by other peptide hormones. These results provide evidence that the labelled 78,000-Mr protein is a myometrial oxytocin-receptor protein.

Abstract
The synthesis of a new photoactivatable heterobifunctional crosslinking reagent, the N-oxysuccinimide ester of 2-carboxy-9-diazofluorene, is described. The ability of the parent chromophore 2-carbomethoxy-9-diazofluorene to insert into cyclohexane and methanol has been established. The reagent has been linked to aldolase and the stoichiometry determined. Photolysis of the probe-linked aldolase indicated that photolysis was very rapid and that the photolysed product was constituted of crosslinked dimer, trimer and tetramer. Increase in concentration of probe linked to aldolase followed by photolysis gave rise to largely tetramer and higher oligomers of aldolase. The use of this carbene-based reagent vis a vis arylazide-based reagent for studying protein crosslinking is discussed.

Abstract
To identify and characterize V1 vasopressin receptors, photoreactive antagonists of the glycogenolytic and vasoconstrictor activity of vasopressin have been synthesized. The following analogues with 3-mercapto-3,3-cyclopentamethylene-propionic acid (Mca) and N-methylalanine (MeAla) in position 1 and 7 of vasopressin (VP) were effective V1 antagonists: [Mca1, D-Tyr2, MeAla7, Lys8]VP (1), [Mca1, MeAla7, Arg8, Lys9]VP (2), [Mca1, MeAla7, Arg8, D-Lys9]VP (3). Introduction of the photoreactive 4-azidophenylamidino group into the side-chain of Lys8 in analogue 1 or into Lys9 in analogues 2 and 3 increased the potency (for analogue 1 a tenfold increase in the antiglycogenolytic effect and a fivefold increase in the antivasopressor effect) and binding affinity for the rat hepatic V1 receptor. Mono-iodination at Tyr2 with 125I resulted in photoreactive antagonists of high specific radioactivity, which had roughly the same binding affinity as vasopressin for the rat hepatic V1 receptor (Kd = 0.9-1.8 nM). In photoaffinity labelling experiments with purified rat liver membranes, containing 2--3 pmol V1 receptor/mg protein, the analogues labelled specifically two proteins with the relative molecular masses (Mr) of 30,000 and 38,000. These results and the results of a recent study using 3H-labelled photoreactive vasopressin agonists [Boer, R. and Fahrenholz, F. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 15051-15054] provide evidence that both vasopressin agonists and antagonists can interact with the same two subunits of the heterodimeric hepatic V1 receptor. Furthermore the radioiodinated photoreactive V1 antagonists should be helpful to identify V1 receptor proteins in membranes of other cell types.

Abstract
[3H]Cyclosporin diaziridine, a new photoaffinity label, enters rat liver cells in the dark. Photoaffinity labeling of isolated rat liver-cell plasma membranes with this probe modifies several polypeptides with molecular mass of 200, 85, 54, 50, 34 kDa. The major labeled protein of 85 kDa represents 2% of the total plasma membrane protein. A 50 kDa protein is heavily labeled in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes at low temperature and after short incubation in the dark. The 85 kDa protein becomes substituted after longer preincubation periods at temperatures above 10 degrees C. This suggests a localisation at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Several controls point to a specific interaction with the above mentioned proteins. Comparison of [3H]cyclosporin-diaziridine- and isothiocyanatobenzamido[3H] cholic acid-labeled membrane proteins reveals identity of binding proteins with the exception of the 85 kDa protein. However, the interaction of bile acids with the 85 kDa protein became apparent at higher concentrations as demonstrated by the differential photoaffinity labeling experiments. In the cytosol of rat liver cells, further [3H]cyclosporin-diaziridine binding proteins could be identified. In particular, a 17 kDa polypeptide was found which appears similar to cyclophilin, a protein known to be present in T-lymphocytes (R. Handschumacher et al. (1984) Science 226, 544-547: Cyclophilin. A specific cytosolic binding protein for cyclosporin A). Proteins with molecular mass of 90, 56, 30, 24, 20 kDa are labeled in AS-30D ascites hepatoma cells and those with molecular mass of 200, 150, 80, 70, 42, 25 kDa in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.
