Cyclic AMP-binding proteins in human blood platelets detected by photoaffinity labelling.
Cyclic AMP inhibits platelet aggregation induced by physiological agents. 8 Azido [32P]cyclic AMP (N3 cyclic AMP) has been utilized as a photoaffinity probe to define the cyclic AMP-binding proteins present in unperturbed human platelets and their subcellular fractions. Specificity of cyclic AMP binding was determined by contrasting binding in the presence and absence of excess unlabelled cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP and 5'-AMP. Binding was unaffected by 5'-AMP and obliterated by cyclic AMP. Four major species of binding proteins, 49 000, 42 000, 39 000, 37 000, were obtained in all platelet fractions (crude homeogenate, cytosol, membranes and granules). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of platelet cytosol resolved the major molecular weight species into 15 specific cyclic AMP binding proteins of four molecular weight classes differing by charge density. These studies suggest that platelets contain an array of specific cyclic AMP-binding proteins which may function in hemostatic regulation.
