| Abstract: | The peripheral subunit-binding domain (PSBD) of the dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2, EC 2.3.1.12) binds tightly but mutually exclusively to dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3, EC 1.8.1.4) and pyruvate decarboxylase (E1, EC 1.2.4.1) in the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Bacillus stearothermophilus. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments demonstrated that the enthalpies of binding (DeltaH degrees ) of both E3 and E1 with the PSBD varied with salt concentration, temperature, pH, and buffer composition. There is little significant difference in the free energies of binding (DeltaG degrees = -12.6 kcal/mol for E3 and = -12.9 kcal/mol for E1 at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C). However, the association with E3 was characterized by a small, unfavorable enthalpy change (DeltaH degrees = +2.2 kcal/mol) and a large, positive entropy change (TDeltaS degrees = +14.8 kcal/mol), whereas that with E1 was accompanied by a favorable enthalpy change (DeltaH degrees = -8.4 kcal/mol) and a less positive entropy change (TDeltaS degrees = +4.5 kcal/mol). Values of DeltaC(p) of -316 cal/molK and -470 cal/molK were obtained for the binding of E3 and E1, respectively. The value for E3 was not compatible with the DeltaC(p) calculated from the nonpolar surface area buried in the crystal structure of the E3-PSBD complex. In this instance, a large negative DeltaC(p) is not indicative of a classical hydrophobic interaction. In differential scanning calorimetry experiments, the midpoint melting temperature (T(m)) of E3 increased from 91 degrees C to 97.1 degrees C when it was bound to PSBD, and that of E1 increased from 65.2 degrees C to 70.0 degrees C. These high T(m) values eliminate unfolding as a major source of the anomalous DeltaC(p) effects at the temperatures (10-37 degrees C) used for the ITC experiments. |
