    Abstract:
    The binding to the ADP/ATP carrier in mitochondrial membranes of the 3'-O-(dimethylamino)naphthoyl (DAN) derivatives of AMP, ADP, and ATP was quantitatively analyzed. The sidedness of the fluorescent type binding to the "m" side only was shown comparing the mitochondrial membranes in various stages of integrity and surface orientation. In particles displacement by bongkrekate (BKA) is direct, whereas in the case of carboxyatractylate (CAT) the requirement for ADP and ATP demonstrates the transition from the "m" to the "c" state. Quantitatively the "physical" binding of [3H]DAN-AMP and fluorescence are well correlated, allowing for a little nonfluorescent binding to the c side. For DAN-AMP KD is 1.6 microM, for DAN-ADP KD is 0.8 microM, and in the Hill plot a straight line with n = 1.25 is obtained. The maximum number of binding sites for [3H]DAN-AMP (1.5 mumol/g of protein) is about equal to the sites found for [3H]BKA if the unspecific binding of both ligands is differentiated by blocking carrier sites with CAT. [3H]CAT binding is somewhat lower in accordance with the limited access of CAT to inverted vesicles. ADP is able to decrease fluorescence only by about 35% at high concentrations (10 mM) whereas GDP has virtually no effect. With ADP, DAN-AMP binding decreases by 30% of the total binding sensitive to BKA. Binding to ATPase is low because of the absence of Mg2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
