Two different photoaffinity analogs of 4-hydroxy coumarin, 3-(p-azidobenzyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin (AzBHC) and 3-(4-azido-5-iodosalicylamido)-4-hydroxycoumarin (AzISAHC), are being used in the identification of warfarin-binding proteins present in mammalian tissue (Myszka, D. G., and Swenson, R. P. (1990) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 172, 415-422; Myszka, D. G., and Swenson, R. P. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 4789-4797). In this study, [14C]AzBHC, but not [125I]AzISAHC, was observed to specifically label a 15,000-dalton protein present in both the microsomal and cytosolic fractions of rat liver. Pretreatment of the crude protein samples with warfarin or dicoumarol completely protected the 15-kDa protein from modification by [14C]AzBHC, indicating that this photoaffinity reagent is specifically labeling a coumarin-binding protein. 4-Hydroxycoumarin itself and AzISAHC were unable to block the incorporation of this photoaffinity probe. The 15-kDa protein was isolated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and subjected to amino-terminal sequence analysis. The first 20 amino acid residues analyzed were found to be identical with the amino-terminal sequence of rat liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) (Gordon J. I., Alpers, D. H., Ockner, R. K., and Strauss, A. W. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 3356-3363). Photoaffinity labeling and protection experiments carried out on purified preparations of L-FABP paralleled the labeling results obtained in the microsomes and cytosol, confirming that L-FABP is capable of specifically binding AzBHC, warfarin, and dicoumarol. Oleic acid, an established ligand for L-FABP, can compete with the binding of the photoaffinity probe; however, it was less effective in protecting the protein than warfarin. The specificity of labeling of crude liver fractions by warfarin photoaffinity analogs reported here as well as the high concentration of FABP in liver tissue together suggest that this protein may represent a major hepatic receptor responsible for the uptake and/or transport of various oral 4-hydroxycoumarin-based anticoagulant drugs.
