    Abstract:
    Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) are potent proaggregatory and vasoconstrictor lipids acting through a receptor referred to as the TXA2/PGH2 receptor. The receptor was purified using a modification of a previously described method from human platelet membranes solubilized using the detergent (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate (CHAPS) and a combination of affinity chromatography and wheat germ lectin chromatography. This procedure resulted in a 1075 +/- 375-fold purification and a specific activity of 1.45 +/- 0.55 nmol/mg protein (n = 5). Repeating these chromatography steps on this partially purified receptor resulted in a preparation with a specific activity of 21 +/- 3 nmol/mg protein (n = 5). This represents the theoretical specific activity if one assumes a molecular weight of 50,000 for the receptor. The fold purification was 11,750 +/- 1250 based on crude membranes and an overall yield of 24%. To further the characterization of this receptor, we synthesized a new radioiodinated photoaffinity probe, 7-[(1R,2S,3S,5R)-6,6-dimethyl-3-(4-azido-3-iodobenzenesulfonylamino++ + )- bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-yl]-5(Z)-heptenoic acid (I-SAP-N3). [125I]l-SAP-N3 irreversibly incorporated into the purified receptor yielding a single band by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) autoradiography and indicated a molecular weight for the receptor of 50-51 kDa. The incorporation of the ligand could be inhibited by a variety of TXA2/PGH2 analogues. In addition, photoaffinity labelling was inhibited in a stereoselective manner as demonstrated by the pair of enantiomers (d)- and (l)-S145. Digestion of photoaffinity labelled receptor with N-glycosidase F demonstrated the presence of at least two N-linked glycosylation sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
