title: Exploration of nucleotide binding sites in the mitochondrial membrane by 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ADP.
abstract: The ADP/ATP carrier of beef heart mitochondria is able to bind 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ADP in the dark with a Kd value of congruent to 8 microM. 2-Azido ADP is not transported and it inhibits ADP transport and ADP binding. Photoirradiation of beef heart mitochondria with 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ADP results mainly in photolabeling of the ADP/ATP carrier protein; photolabeling is prevented by carboxyatractyloside, a specific inhibitor of ADP/ATP transport. Upon photoirradiation of inside-out submitochondrial particles with 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ADP, both the ADP/ATP carrier and the beta subunit of the membrane-bound F1-ATPase are covalently labeled. The binding specificity of 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ADP for the beta subunit of F1-ATPase is ascertained by prevention of photolabeling of isolated F1 by preincubation with an excess of ADP.
