High impact information on NAP taurine

  • Addition of DNDS (4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate), protects PLP labeling of CH35 but exposes new, nonoverlapping sites on CH17.4,4'-Diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate reduces PLP labeling to both domains with time, while NAP-taurine (N(-4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)2-aminosulfonate) has no effect on either domain [1].
  • N-(4-Azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethylsulfonate, a reversible noncompetitive inhibitor of anion transport did not protect against EAC inhibition of transport but prevented reversal of inhibition in saline medium [2].
  • These results indicate that 7-ADTC and NAP-taurine can be utilized as photoaffinity probes for the identification of the bile acid carrier protein(s) in hepatocyte plasma membranes [3].
  • The transport properties of the photoreactive anion transport inhibitor, N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethylsulfonate (NAP-taurine) were also characterized in the hepatocyte system [3].
  • Selective antagonism of the Ca2+ transport ATPase of the red cell membrane by N-(14-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethylsulfonate (NAP-taurine) [4].
 

Biological context of NAP taurine

 

Anatomical context of NAP taurine

  • N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethyl sulfonate (NAP-taurine), a photolabile nitrene precursor, has been shown to permeate the human erythrocyte membrane at 37degrees but not at 0 degrees [8].
  • The number of anion transport sites available on the cytoplasmic side of the vesicle membranes was then estimated by measuring the binding of N-(-4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethyl-sulfonate (NAP-taurine), a photoreactive probe [5].
  • The present investigation compares brush-border (BBM) and basolateral membrane (BLM) vesicles in terms of purity, function, appearance on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels, and labeling pattern by use of N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (NAP-taurine), a photoaffinity analogue of p-aminohippurate (PAH) [9].
 

Associations of NAP taurine with other chemical compounds

  • A Ca-stimulated ATPase activity (pH 9.5) associated with the tegumental membrane enriched (TME) fraction of Schistosoma mansoni adults was partially inhibited by NAP-taurine or by increasing concentrations of chlorpromazine; endogenous calmodulin was found associated with the TME fraction [10].
  • NIP- and NAP-taurine bind to external modifier site of AE1 (band 3), at which iodide inhibits anion exchange [11].
