We successfully applied a carbene-generating N-acetylglucosamine derivative carrying a biotinyl group to the radioisotope-free identification of peptides within bovine UDP-galactose : N-acetylglucosamine β1,4-galactosyltransferase (GalT, EC 2.4.1.38) catalytic domain. Owing to the low yield of cross-linking, conventional photoaffinity labeling experiments usually encounter a thorny problem in attemptin to isolate labeled components from very complex mixtures. A biotion tag introduced with our photoaffinity probe enabled us to separate the photolabeled protein from a large amount of coexisting unlabeled GalT. The introduction of biotin was also useful for the radioisotope-free detection of a labeled protein based on a highly sensitive chemiluminescent technique. We developed a novel poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane for the identification of labeled peptides in a simple dot blot assay. Using this membrane, we successfully identified biotinyl peptides among a number of HPLC separated fragments derived from the protease digestion of photolabeled GalT proteins. The sequence analysis revealed that the biotin tag was incorporated within a tryptic GalT fragment of Y197-R208. Our approach yields, for the first time, information on the acceptor substrate binding-site fragment in this enzyme, that has been difficult to obtain using other approaches. These data are consistent with previous suggestions concerning the GalT acceptor site and clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for rapid identification of photolabeled peptides.
