摘要: Abstract The interactions of insect juvenile hormones (JH) with proteins are critically important to titer regulation, transport, and hormone action at a molecular level. We have synthesized several JH analogs bearing photolabile diazocarbonyl groups as potential photoaffinity labels for binding (JHBP). most promising compound, 10, 11-epoxyfarnesyl diazoacetate ( 2 ) (EFDA) competes III site JHBP from Leucophaea hemolymph ovaries cultured Drosophila cells . Moreover, irradiation protein solutions containing micromolar amounts EFDA gave irreversible loss [ 3 H]-JH capacity no change in affinity the unlabelled protein. could be protected against photoinactivation by presence equimolar during irradiation. High specific activity [10- H]-EFDA was prepared used demonstrate specific, finite receptor Further applications labelling technique characterization cellular localization discussed.
