Calcium channel blockers of the phenylalkylamine family bind specifically to membranes and inhibit calcium uptake in carrot protoplast. LU 49888, an azido derivative of phenylalkylamine, behaves as its unmodified homolog in terms of affinity and specificity and therefore allows us to probe the receptor by photoaffinity labeling. Upon UV irradiation, a 75-kDa peptide was specifically labeled. Incubation of microsomes with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate, a zwitterionic detergent, led to the solubilization of the LU 49888-binding protein. Electrophoretic analysis under denaturing conditions and gel filtration of the solubilized "receptor-ligand" complex show a 75-kDa peptide mainly located at the plasma membrane. Consequently the LU 49888-binding protein in plants differs significantly from its animal counterpart by its size and may be a primary target for external signal molecules.
