  • 摘要:Highly fluorescent analogs of insulin and epidermal growth factor were prepared by the covalent attachment of these peptides to alpha-lactalbumin molecules that were highly substituted (i.e., seven to one) with rhodamine molecules. The alpha-lactalbumin was specifically linked to the lysine residue of insulin or to the alpha-amino group of epidermal growth factor. The insulin derivative retained 1.15% of its potency in stimulating glucose oxidation in fat cells but retained about 8.3% of its binding affinity toward receptors. The epidermal growth factor derivative was completely active in binding to fibroblast receptors and 40% as potent as the native hormone in stimulating DNA synthesis. These highly fluorescent derivatives were suitable for the specific visual labeling of receptor sites in viable cells and for measuring the lateral mobilities of the receptor-hormone complexes by fluorescent photobleaching recovery techniques. By these methods it was shown that the hormone-receptor complexes can move laterally in the plane of the plasma membrane with a diffusion coefficient of (3-5) X 10(-10) cm2/sec.
