Photoaffinity labeling of the calcium channel antagonist receptor in the heart of the cardiomyopathic hamster.
The high affinity 1,4-dihydropyridine receptors of the cardiac membrane calcium channel from Syrian Cardiomyopathic hamsters were studied using [3H] PN200-110 and [3H]azidopine as ligands. [3H]Azidopine was photoincorporated covalently into bands of 180, 100, 79, 45 and 31 kDa, as determined by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Photolabeling of the 180 kDa band is protected by 2 microM [1H]PN200-110 whereas the lower Mr bands are not. Thus, only the 180 kDa band is the calcium channel linked 1,4 dihydropyridine receptor. The photoincorporation into this 180 kDa band is doubled with samples of myopathic hamsters vs. control hamsters. It is suggested that the increase in calcium channel receptors may be involved in the pathogenesis of this cardiomyopathy.
