Summary
Bumetanide-binding proteins were isolated from membranes of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells by affinity chromatography. An affinity column was constructed with the active moiety of bumetanide as a ligand using 4′-azidobumetanide, a photoactive analogue which inhibits Na/Cl cotransport in Ehrlich cells with high specificity. Covalent binding of the 4′-azidobumetanide with Sepharose was promoted by photolysis. Membranes isolated from Ehrlich cells were solubilized withn-octylglucoside. Solubilized proteins retarded by the affinity column were readily eluted by bumetanide. In reducing gels the major proteins eluted by bumetanide were ∼76 kDa and 38–39 kDa. There were also two proteins of 32 to 35 kDa eluted in lesser amounts. No proteins retarded by the affinity column were eluted with extensive washing without bumetanide. Furthermore, bumetanide eluted no proteins from a „control” column lacking the specific ligand. Upon rechromatography with bumetanide in solution, bumetanide-eluted proteins were not retarded, but their purity was increased by the retardation of contaminating proteins. Bumetanide-binding protein purified in this manner were characterized further by electrophoresis in nonreducing, nondenaturing gels.
