Photoreactivable 5-[3-(p-iodoazidosalicylamide)allyl]-UDP-GlcNAc (5-IASA-UDP-GlcNAc) was synthesized by a four-step procedure and used for photoaffinity labeling of UDP-GlcNAc-dependent enzymes. Upon iodination with 125I, the compound was successfully applied to probe a purified UDP-GlcNAc pyrophosphorylase from pig liver. The enzyme was photoinactivated by the probe in the concentration-dependent manner, and was protected by UDP-GlcNAc and, to a lesser extent, by UTP and UDP-GlcCOOH.
