title: Photoaffinity labeling of the K562 cell membrane D-glucose transporter with cytochalasin B.
abstract: D-glucose carrier protein in K562 cell membrane was studied by photoaffinity labeling with cytochalasin B. The saturable cytochalasin B binding in purified K562 cell membranes was 90 pmol/mg and 200 pmol/mg protein in the presence of D-glucose and D-sorbitol, respectively. More than half of the total cytochalasin B binding could be depressed by D-glucose. The results of SDS-PAGE analysis of K562 cell membranes after photoaffinity labeling at 0.1 microM cytochalasin B showed that the main peak of covalently bound [3H]-cytochalasin B was in the Mr range of 46-65 KDa. The label found in the peak was reduced by more than 50% in the presence of 0.5 M D-glucose, the inhibition similar being to that obtained in the binding experiment. This polypeptide has a slightly higher molecular weight than that of the human erythrocyte cell membrane.
