Synthesis of a radioiodinated photoreactive MAGE-1 peptide derivative and photoaffinity labeling of cell-associated human leukocyte antigen-A1 molecules.
The synthesis of a photoreactive derivative of the human leukocyte antigen-A1 (HLA-A1)-restricted MAGE-1 peptide 161-169 (EADPTGHSY) is described. Using conventional automated solid-phase peptide synthesis, a photoreactive derivative of this peptide was synthesized by replacing histidine-167 with photo-reactive N-beta-4-azidosalicyloyl-L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid. The C-terminal tyrosine was incorporated as phosphotyrosine. This peptide derivative was radioiodinated in the presence of chloramine T. This iodination took place selectively at the photoreactive group, because the phosphate ester prevented tyrosine iodination. Following dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase and chromatographic purification, the radiolabeled peptide derivative was incubated with cells expressing HLA-A1 or other HLA molecules. Photoactivation resulted in efficient photoaffinity labeling of HLA-A1. Other HLA molecules or other cellular components were not detectably labeled. This labeling was inhibited by HLA-A1 but not by HLA-A2-binding peptides. This synthesis is generally applicable and can also be adapted to the synthesis of well-defined radiolabeled nonphotoreactive peptide derivatives.
