title: Intermolecular cross-linking of a novel rice Kinesin k16 motor domain with a photoreactive ATP derivative.
abstract: A fluorescent photoreactive ATP derivative, 2'(3')-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-1,N(6)-etheno-ATP (Bz(2)-epsilonATP), was synthesized and reacted with the rice kinesin K16 motor domain (K16MD). In the presence of ADP or ATP, UV irradiation of the K16MD solution containing Bz(2)-epsilonATP resulted in a new 100 kDa band, which was an intermolecular cross-linked product of motor domains. In contrast, no cross-linking was observed in the absence of nucleotides. For the motor domain of mouse brain kinesin and skeletal muscle myosin subfragment-1, no such intermolecular photo cross-linking by Bz(2)-epsilonATP was observed. Our results indicate that Bz(2)-epsilonATP acts unusually as a photoreactive crosslinker to detect conformational changes in K16MD induced by nucleotide binding resulting in the formation of dimers.
