Modification of myosin subfragment 1 tryptophans by dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)sulfonium bromide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Modification of tryptophanyl residues (Trps) of myosin subfragments 1 (S-1) was performed with dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)sulfonium bromide (DHNBS). Under controlled conditions, pH 6 at 0 degrees C and 10-min reaction with 10-100-fold molar excess, K+(EDTA) activity was reduced down to less than half, whereas Ca2+-ATPase activity increased and acto-S-1-ATPase was not affected. The number of modified Trps (up to 2.5) agreed well with the number of 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl moieties incorporated in S-1. The thiol groups of S-1 were not affected up to 50-fold molar excess of DHNBS, thus indicating that the modification was selective for Trps. The modification of as few as one Trp caused a blue shift of the emission spectrum, accompanied by a reduction in the fluorescence quantum yield. The accessibility of Trps to the fluorescence quencher acrylamide is drastically reduced upon modification, indicating that DHNBS-reactive Trps are more "exposed" than the DHNBS-refractive ones. DHNBS modification did not seem to affect the ATP-induced tryptophan fluorescence enhancement of S-1. The effect of DHNBS modification of the intrinsic fluorescence of S-1 indicates that the modified Trps are located in a polar environment and that they may be identical with the long-lifetime Trps of Torgerson [Torgerson, P. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 3002-3007]. The most reactive Trp is located in the N-terminal 27-kDa fragment of the S-1 heavy chain. It might also be inferred from the above data that the nonexposed and ATP-perturbed Trp(s) is (are) located in the 50-kDa fragment. 相似文献

Modification of lactate dehydrogenase by pyridoxal phosphate and adenosine polyphosphopyridoxal 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pyridoxal phosphate reacts with not only the lysyl residue(s) essential for enzymatic activity but also other reactive lysyl residues in rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27). To raise the specificity of pyridoxal phosphate, adenosine diphospho-, triphospho-, and tetraphosphopyridoxals have been newly synthesized and used for modification of the enzyme. Incubation of the enzyme for 30 min with the diphospho, triphospho, and tetraphospho compounds all at 1 mM followed by reduction by sodium borohydride resulted in the loss of enzymatic activity by 64, 51, and 34%, respectively. NADH almost completely protected the enzyme from inactivation, whereas pyruvate showed no protection. Binding of the reagents to the enzyme subunit in an equimolar amount corresponds to the complete inactivation. The adenosine diphosphopyridoxal modified enzymes with different residual activities were chromatographed on a Blue Toyopearl affinity column. The results showed the presence of at least four enzyme species besides the intact enzyme that are significantly different from one another in the amount of the reagent bound, the affinity for NADH, and the specific activity. The decrease in the affinity of the enzyme for NADH and the loss of enzymatic activity paralleled in the modification by adenosine diphosphopyridoxal, whereas, in the modification by pyridoxal phosphate, the decrease in the affinity for NADH preceded the inactivation. It is concluded that modification by adenosine polyphosphopyridoxal compounds are specific for the active site lysyl residue(s) in lactate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Deaza analogues of adenosine and EHNA were tested as inhibitors of the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) obtained from several sources including human erythrocytes, calf intestine, Saccaromices cerevisiae, Escherichia coli and Takadiastase. Ki values of the inhibitors suggest differences among the enzymes both at purine and erythro-nonyl binding site. Among the ribofuranosyl derivatives, 1-deazaadenosine is the best inhibitor, its Ki ranging between 3.5 x 10(-7) and 4 x 10(-5) M for ADA from erythrocytes and Takadiastase respectively. Only ADA from erythrocytes and calf intestine bind EHNA and some of deazaEHNA analogues; 3-deazaEHNA behaves very similarly to EHNA both in affinity and slow binding mechanism, whereas 1-deazaEHNA, though less potent, is a good inhibitor. 相似文献

Involvement of tryptophans at the catalytic and subunit-binding domains of transcarboxylase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Transcarboxylase from Propionibacterium shermanii is a multisubunit enzyme. It consists of one central hexameric subunit to which six outer dimeric subunits are attached through twelve biotinyl subunits. Both the central and the outer subunits are multi-tryptophan (Trp) proteins, and each contains 5 Trps per monomer. The roles of the Trps during catalysis and assembly of the enzyme have been studied by using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) oxidation as a probe. Modification of approximately 10 Trps of the total 90 Trps of the intact enzyme results in loss of activity. Both the substrates, viz., methylmalonyl-CoA and pyruvate, afford protection (approximately 50%) against inactivation caused by NBS. Analyses of tryptic peptide maps and intrinsic fluorescence studies have indicated that modification of 10 Trps of the whole enzyme does not cause extensive conformational changes. Therefore, the Trps appear to be essential for catalytic activity. NBS modification of the individual subunits at pH 6.5 has demonstrated differential reactivity of their Trps. Modification of the exposed/reactive Trps of either one of the subunits significantly affects the subunit assembly with the complementary unmodified subunits to form active enzyme. It is proposed that Trps are involved at the subunit-binding domains of either the central or the outer subunit of transcarboxylase, in addition to those critical for catalysis. 相似文献

The interaction of adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, ADA) from bovine spleen with inhibitors— erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine, erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)-3-deazaadenine, and 1-deazaadenosine—was investigated. Using selective chemical modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEP), the possible involvement of His residues in this interaction was studied. The graphical method of Tsou indicates that of six His residues modified in the presence of DEP, only one is essential for ADA activity. Inactivation of the enzyme, though with low rate, in complex with any of the inhibitors suggests that the adenine moiety of the inhibitors (and consequently, of the substrate) does not bind with the essential His to prevent its modification. The absence of noticeable changes in the dissociation constants of any of the enzyme–inhibitor complexes for the DEP-modified and control enzyme indicates that at least the most available His residues modified in our experiments do not participate in binding the inhibitors—derivatives of adenosine or erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine. 相似文献

The tryptophan residues in rabbit muscle creatine kinase (ATP:creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3.2) have been modified by dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl) sulfonium bromide after reversible protection of the reactive SH groups. The modification of two tryptophan residues as measured by spectrophotometric titration leads to complete loss of enzymatic activity. Control experiments show that reversible protection of the reactive SH groups as S-sulfonates followed by reduction results in nearly quantitative recovery of enzyme activity. The presence of a 410 nm absorption maximum and the decrease in fluorescence of the modified enzyme indicate the modification of tryptophan residues. At the same time, SH determinations after reduction of the modified enzyme show that the reagent has not affected the protected SH groups. Quantitative treatment of the data (Tsou, C.-L. (1962) Sci. Sin. 11, 1535 1558) shows that among the tryptophan residues modified, one is essential for its catalytic activity. The presence of substrates partially protects the modification of tryptophan residues as well as the inactivation, suggesting that the essential tryptophan residue is situated at the active site of this enzyme. 相似文献

Essential tryptophan residues in the function of cellulase from Schizophyllum commune 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A J Clarke 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1987,912(3):424-431
The tryptophan residues of the cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4; 1,4-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase) from Schizophyllum commune were oxidized by N-bromosuccinimide in both the presence and absence of substrates and inhibitors of the enzyme. In the absence of protective ligands, eight of the twelve tryptophan residues in the cellulase were susceptible to modification with concomitant inactivation of the enzyme. The binding of the substrates, CM-cellulose, methyl cellulose, cellohexaose or lichenan and the competitive inhibitor, cellobiose, protected one tryptophan residue from oxidation but did not prevent the inactivation. Characterization of the oxidized enzyme derivatives by ultraviolet difference absorption and by fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that two tryptophan residues are essential in the mechanism of cellulase catalysis. One residue appears to be directly involved in the binding of substrate, while the second residue is proposed to constitute an integral part of a catalytically sound active centre. 相似文献

The effect of inhibitors, 1-deazaadenosine (1-dAdo) and erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA), on the conformation of adenosine deaminase was studied using the method of selective quenching of fluorescence emission by acrylamide, I- and Cs+. Both in free adenosine deaminase and in its complexes with the inhibitors, the wavelength maxima and half-width of the emission characterize the environment of fluorescing tryptophan residues in adenosine deaminase as weak polar with limited access to solvent. The formation of complexes with the ground state inhibitors used did not quench or change the main emission characteristics of tryptophan fluorescence in adenosine deaminase. Small blue shifts of emission maxima were observed upon quenching in all three samples. The Stern-Volmer parameters of tryptophan fluorescence quenching by acrylamide were not essentially influenced by complex formation of the enzyme with the inhibitors: in general, the folding of the enzyme molecule in the complexes is not perturbed. On the contrary, the emission quenching by charged heavy ions, I- and Cs+, in the complexes was hindered in comparison with free adenosine deaminase. In the complex with 1-deazaadenosine, the parameters for quenching by both ions evidence the essential worsening of their interaction with tryptophans. In the complex with erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine, along with the worse quenching by I-, complete prohibition of quenching by Cs+ was observed. These data indicate that the local environments of fluorescing tryptophan residues is substantially distorted compared with free adenosine deaminase, which leads to their screening from charged heavy ions. 相似文献

Pseudomonas Fe-superoxide dismutase (superoxide:superoxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.15.1.1) is inactivated by hydrogen peroxide by a mechanism which exhibits saturation kinetics. The pseudo-first-order rate constant of the inactivation increased with increasing pH, with an inflection point around pH 8.5. Two parameters of the inactivation were measured in the pH range 7.8 to 9.0; the total H2O2 concentration at which the enzyme is half-saturated (K inact) was found to be independent of pH (30 mM) and the maximum rate constant for inactivation (k max) increased progressively with increasing pH, from 3.3 min-1 at pH 7.8 to 21 min-1 at pH 9.0. This evidence suggests the presence of an ionization group (pKa approximately 8.5) which does not participate in the binding of H2O2 but which affects the maximum inactivation rate of the enzyme. The loss of dismutase activity of the Fe-superoxide dismutase is accompanied by a modification of 1.6, 1.1 and 0.9 residues of tryptophan, histidine and cysteine, respectively. Since the amino acid residues of the Cr-substituted enzyme, which has no enzymatic activity, were not modified by H2O2, the active iron of the enzyme is essential for the modification of the amino acid residues. 相似文献

The presence, microenvironment, and proximity of an essential Trp with the essential His and Cys residues in the active site of an alkaline protease have been demonstrated for the first time using chemical modification, chemo-affinity labeling, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Kinetic analysis of the N-bromosuccinimide- (NBS) or p-hydroxymercuribenzoate- (PHMB) modified enzyme from Conidiobolus sp. revealed that a single Trp and Cys are essential for activity in addition to the Asp, His, and Ser residues of the catalytic triad. Full protection by casein against inactivation of the enzyme by NBS and quenching of Trp fluorescence upon binding of the enzyme with NBS, substrate (sAAPF-pNA), or inhibitor (SSI) confirmed participation of the Trp residue at the substrate/inhibitor binding site of the alkaline protease. Comparison of the K(sv) values for the charged quenchers CsCI (1.66) and KI (7.0) suggested that the overall Trp microenvironment in the protease is electropositive. The proximity of Trp with His was demonstrated by the sigmoidal shape of the pH-dependent fluorometric titration curve with a pK(F) of 6.1. The vicinity of Trp with Cys was indicated by resonance energy transfer between the intrinsic fluorophore (Trp) and 5-iodoacetamide-fluorescein labeled Cys (extrinsic fluorophore). Our results on the proximity of Trp with essential His and Cys thus confirm the presence of Trp in the active site of the alkaline protease. 相似文献

Glutathione S-transferase P (GST-P) exists as a homodimeric form and has two tryptophan residues, Trp28 and Trp38, in each subunit. In order to elucidate the role of the two tryptophan residues in catalytic function, we examined intrinsic fluorescence of tryptophan residues and effect of chemical modification by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). The quenching of intrinsic fluorescence was observed by the addition of S-hexylglutathione, a substrate analogue, and the enzymatic activity was totally lost when single tryptophan residue was oxidized by NBS. To identify which tryptophan residue is involved in the catalytic function, each tryptophan was changed to histidine by site-directed mutagenesis. Trp28His GST-P mutant enzyme showed a comparable enzymatic activity with that of the wild type one. Trp38His mutant neither was bound to S-hexylglutathione-linked Sepharose nor exhibited any GST activity. These findings indicate that Trp38 is important for the catalytic function and substrate binding of GST-P. 相似文献

Inactivation of pig kidney dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) by photosensitization in the presence of methylene blue at pH 7.5 was observed to have pseudo-first-order kinetics. During the process, until over 95% inactivation was achieved, the histidine and tryptophan residues were decreased from 14.0 to 2.7 and 12.6 to 7.1, respectively, per 94,000-Da subunit, without any detectable changes in other photosensitive amino acids. Modification of four histidine residues per subunit using diethylpyrocarbonate resulted in only 30% inactivation of the enzyme, while N-bromosuccinimide almost completely inactivated the enzyme with the modification of only one tryptophan residue per subunit, as determined by absorption spectrophotometry at 280 nm. The protective action of the substrate and inhibitors such as Ala-Pro-Ala and Pro-Pro against the modification of tryptophan residues with N-bromosuccinimide was observed both fluorometrically and by measurement of activity. On the basis of these results it is suggested that one of the tryptophan residues in the enzyme subunit is essential for the functioning of the substrate binding site of pig kidney dipeptidyl peptidase IV. 相似文献

Enolase from carp (Cyprinus Carpio) muscle was modified by diethylpyrocarbonate, tetranitromethane, N-bromosuccinimide and 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The extent and rate of modification and its effect on the enzyme activity were determined. Modification of histidine, tyrosine and tryptophan residues caused complete inactivation of the enzyme; Mg2+ as well as 2-phosphoglycerate markedly altered the rates of modification and inactivation. The above-mentioned amino acid residues seem to be essential for the functioning of muscle enolases. Modification of cysteine residues had no effect on the enolase activity. 相似文献

Chemical modification of potato apyrase suggests that tryptophan residues are close to the nucleotide binding site. Kd values (+/- Ca2+) for the complexes of apyrase with the non-hydrolysable phosphonate adenine nucleotide analogues, adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene) triphosphate and adenosine 5'-(alpha,beta-methylene) diphosphate, were obtained from quenching of the intrinsic enzyme fluorescence. Other fluorescent nucleotide analogues (2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate, 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-diphosphate. 1,N6-ethenoadenosine triphosphate and 1,N6-ethenoadenosine diphosphate) were hydrolysed by apyrase in the presence of Ca2+, indicating binding to the active site. The dissociation constants for the binding of these analogues were calculated from both the decrease of the protein (tryptophan) fluorescence and enhancement of the nucleotide fluorescence. Using the sensitised acceptor (nucleotide analogue) fluorescence method, energy transfer was observed between enzyme tryptophans and ethene-derivatives. These results support the view that tryptophan residues are present in the nucleotide-binding region of the protein, appropriately oriented to allow the energy transfer process to occur. 相似文献

The chemical modification of beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (EC3.2.1.30) from Turbo cornutus Solander has been first studied. The results demonstrate that the sulfhydryl group of cysteine residues and the hydroxyl group of serine residues are not essential to the enzyme's function. The modification of indole group of tryptophan of the enzyme by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) can lead to the complete inactivation, accompanying the absorption decreasing at 278 nm and the fluorescence intensity quenching at 335 nm, indicating that tryptophan is essential residue to the enzyme. The modification of amino group of lysine residue by formaldehyde and trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid also inactivates the enzyme completely. The results show that lysine and tryptophan are probably situated in the active site of the enzyme. The modification of the imidazole residue and carboxyl group leads to inactivate incompletely, indicating they are not the composing groups of the enzyme active center, and they are essential for maintaining the enzyme's conformation which is necessary for the catalytic activity of the enzyme. 相似文献

N-Bromosuccinimide completely inactivated the cellulase, and titration experiments showed that oxidation of one tryptophan residue per cellulase molecule coincided with 100% inactivation. CM-cellulose protected the enzyme from inactivation by N-bromosuccinimide. The cellulase was inhibited by active benzyl halides, and reaction with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide resulted in the incorporation of 2.3 hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl groups per enzyme molecule; one tryptophan residue was shown to be essential for activity. Diazocarbonyl compounds in the presence of Cu2+ ions inhibited the enzyme. The pH-dependence of inactivation was consistent with the reaction occurring with a protonated carboxyl group. Carbodi-imide inhibited the cellulase, and kinetic analysis indicated that there was an average of 1 mol of carbodi-imide binding to the cellulase during inactivation. Treatment of the cellulase with diethyl pyrocarbonate resulted in the modification of two out of the four histidine residues present in the cellulase. The modified enzyme retained 40% of its original activity. Inhibition of cellulase activity by the metal ions Ag+ and Hg2+ was ascribed to interaction with tryptophan residues, rather than with thiol groups. 相似文献

The effect of specific photochemical and radiochemical modification of tryptophyl and cysteinyl residues of the gene 32 protein (gp 32) of bacteriophage T4 on its affinity towards single-stranded polynucleotides has been investigated. Oxidation of Cys residues of gp 32 by the free-radical anion I-.2 induces a partial loss of the protein affinity, probably by affecting the metal-binding domain which includes three of the four cysteine residues of gp 32. Ultraviolet irradiation of gp 32 in the presence of trichloroethanol results in the modification of three of its five Trp residues and total loss of the protein binding. Analysis of the relative affinity of ultraviolet-irradiated gp 32 for single-stranded polynucleotides suggest that modification of a Trp of enhanced reactivity occurs first and has no effect on the protein binding. Radiochemical modification of three Trp residues of gp 32 by (SCN)-.2 results in total loss of activity. Complexation of gp 32 with denatured DNA prior to gamma-irradiation protects two Trp residues and prevents the protein inactivation. These results suggest that at most two Trp residues are involved in stacking interactions with nucleic acid bases. However, time-resolved spectroscopic methods which allow us to monitor selectively the stacked tryptophan residues have not yielded evidence of more than a single residue undergoing such interactions. 相似文献

Butane-2,3-dione inactivates the aspartyl proteinases from Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium caseicolum, as well as pig pepsin, penicillopepsin and Rhizopus pepsin, at pH 6.0 in the presence of light but not in the dark. The inactivation is due to a photosensitized modification of tryptophan and tyrosine residues. In the dark none of the amino acid residues, not even arginine residues, is modified even after several days. In the light one arginine residue in pig pepsin is lost at a rate that is comparable with the rate of inactivation; however, the loss of the single arginine residue in the aspartyl proteinase of P. roqueforti and the second arginine residue of pig pepsin is slower than the loss of activity; penicillopepsin is devoid of arginine. Loss of most of the activity is accompanied by the following amino acid losses: P. roqueforti aspartyl proteinase, about two tryptophan and six tyrosine residues; penicillopepsin, about two tryptophan and three tyrosine residues; pig pepsin, about four tryptophan and most of the tyrosine residues. Modification of histidine residues was too slow to contribute to inactivation. None of the other residues, including half-cystine and methionine residues (when present), was modified even after prolonged incubation. The inactivation of P. roqueforti aspartyl proteinase and pig pepsin appears due to non-specific modification of several residues. With penicillopepsin, however, the reaction is more limited and initially affects only those tryptophan and tyrosine residues that lie in the active-site groove. In the presence of pepstatin the rate of inactivation is considerably diminished. After prolonged reaction a general structural breakdown occurs. 相似文献

Phenol hydroxylase was inactivated by the arginine reagents 2,3-butanedione, 1,2-cyclohexanedione, and phenylglyoxal. The cosubstrate NADPH, as well as NADP+ and several analogues thereof, protected the enzyme against inactivation. Phenol did not protect the activity against any of the reagents used, nor did modification by 2,3-butanedione affect the binding of phenol. We propose the presence of arginyl residues in the binding sites for the adenosine phosphate part of NADPH. 相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase from Megalobatrachus japonicus was inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEP). The inactivation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a second-order rate constant of 176 M(-1) x min(-1) at pH 6.2 and 25 degrees C. The loss of enzyme activity was accompanied with an increase in absorbance at 242 nm and the inactivated enzyme was re-activated by hydroxylamine, indicating the modification of histidine residues. This conclusion was also confirmed by the pH profiles of inactivation, which showed the involvement of a residue with pK(a) of 6.6. The presence of glycerol 3-phosphate, AMP and phosphate protected the enzyme against inactivation. The results revealed that the histidine residues modified by DEP were located at the active site. Spectrophotometric quantification of modified residues showed that modification of two histidine residues per active site led to complete inactivation, but kinetic stoichiometry indicated that one molecule of modifier reacted with one active site during inactivation, probably suggesting that two essential histidine residues per active site are necessary for complete activity whereas modification of a single histidine residue per active site is enough to result in inactivation. 相似文献
