Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has been used to determine the hydration numbers of Mn(II) in complexes with GDP and three forms of ras p21. EPR signals of Mn(II) in the GDP complex with viral-Harvey p21pRAS1 (Arg 12, Thr 59), p21EC (Gly 12, Thr 59), and p21EJ (Val 12, Thr 59) have narrow line-widths that permit ready observation of inhomogeneous broadening from unresolved superhyperfine coupling with the nuclear spin of 17O of directly coordinated oxygen ligands. Quantitative analysis of the lineshapes for the samples in H2 17O-enriched water indicates that four water ligands coordinate to the metal ion in the GDP complexes with all three proteins. The four solvent ligands, together with an oxygen from the beta-phosphate group of GDP, leave space for only one ligand from the protein. An X-ray diffraction-derived model for the MgII beta-gamma-imidoguanosine-5'-triphosphate complex with p21 shows coordination of Mg(II) to the beta- and gamma-phosphate groups of the nucleotide as well as to the hydroxyl groups of Thr 35 and Ser 17 (Pai, E.F., Kabusch, W., Krengel, U., Holmes, K. H., John, J., and Wittinghofer, A., 1989, Nature (London) 341, 209-214). Thus, upon conversion of the nucleotide from a triphosphate to a diphosphate, solvent replaces both the gamma-phosphate of the nucleotide and one of the protein ligands. The EPR results are consistent with a recent X-ray crystallographic model for the p21-MgIIGDP complex (Milburn, M. V., Tong, L., DeVos, A. M., Brunger, A., Yamaizumi, Z., Nishimura, S., and Kim, S.-H., 1990, Science 247, 939-945). EPR spectra of complexes with the three forms of ras p21 differ with respect to the intrinsic linewidths of the EPR signals. These subtle differences in linewidth appear to originate from slight differences in local disorder near the metal-nucleotide binding site. 相似文献

The coordination sphere of Mn(II) in the complex with GDP and elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli has been probed by EPR spectroscopy with 17O-labeled ligands. Inhomogeneous broadening in the EPR signals for Mn(II) due to unresolved superhyperfine coupling to the 17O nucleus was used to identify directly bound oxygen ligands. Results with GDP selectively enriched with 17O either in the alpha-phosphate or in the beta-phosphate revealed that GDP was a beta-monodentate ligand for Mn(II) in the complex with the protein. Results with 17O-enriched water showed that two water molecules are coordinated to the Mn(II). The EPR spectrum for the complex is characteristic of octahedral coordination for Mn(II). Hence, three ligands from the protein are required to complete the sextet of ligands. 相似文献

The structure of the MnIIADP complex at the active site of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase from yeast has been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Inhomogeneous broadening in the EPR signals for Mn(II) resulting from unresolved superhyperfine coupling to 17O regiospecifically incorporated into ADP shows that Mn(II) is coordinated to the alpha- and beta-phosphate groups of ADP at the active site of the enzyme. The EPR pattern for the enzyme-MnIIADP complex is characteristic of a predominantly axially symmetric zero-field splitting tensor. The symmetry and magnitude of the zero-field splitting interaction suggest that there is an additional negatively charged oxygen ligand in the coordination sphere of Mn(II). EPR measurements for solutions of the enzyme-MnIIADP complex in 17O-enriched water indicate that there are also two or three water molecules in the coordination sphere of the metal ion. EPR data for complexes with the two epimers of [alpha-17O]ADP have been used to determine the stereochemical configuration of the MnIIADP complex at the active site. EPR spectra for Mn(II) in the enzymic complex with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP show an inhomogeneous broadening due to superhyperfine coupling with 17O whereas spectra for (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP complexes are indistinguishable from those for matched samples with unlabeled ADP. These results show that 3-phosphoglycerate kinase selectivity binds the alpha configuration of the alpha, beta chelate of MnIIADP. Addition of 3-phosphoglycerate to form the dead-end complex (enzyme-MnIIADP-3-phosphoglycerate) does not alter the EPR spectrum, but addition of vanadate to this complex causes marked changes in the spectral parameters.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Changes in the coordination of Mn2+ to nucleotide, water and protein at the active site of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) have been studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. From the time dependence of the Mn2+ spectrum after addition of GTP to EF-Tu X Mn, it was apparent that three complexes with different EPR linewidths could be detected. Using additional information from the kinetics of 32Pi production and release from EF-Tu X Mn X [gamma-32P]GTP these were identified as EF-Tu X Mn X GTP (linewidth 4.2 mT), EF-Tu X Mn X GDP X Pi (1.20 mT) and EF-Tu X Mn X GDP (1.29 mT). The linewidth for EF-Tu X Mn was 1.51 mT. The rate constant for GTP cleavage on EF-Tu was 0.01 min-1 at 24 C, for Pi release from the EF-Tu X GDP X Pi complex 0.0033 min-1. The corresponding rate constants in the presence of Mg2+ were 0.003 min-1 and 0.0065 min-1. The rate constant for reversal of the cleavage step was found to be much smaller than that for the rate of Pi release (and consequently much smaller than in the forward direction), as shown by 31P-NMR experiments on the incorporation of 18O into Pi from GTP hydrolyzed in the presence of H2 18O. EPR experiments using specifically 17O-labelled GTPs demonstrated an interaction of Mn2+ with the beta-phosphate in both the EF-Tu X GDP X Pi and EF-Tu X GDP complexes. Inorganic phosphate in the EF-Tu X GDP X Pi complex was found not to interact with the metal ion. From EPR experiments in H2 17O, it was concluded that the most probable number of water molecules in the different complexes was 4 (EF-Tu X Mn), 5 (EF-Tu X Mn X GDP X Pi) and 3 (EF-Tu X Mn X GDP), with 2, 0 and 2 metal-protein interactions respectively. 相似文献

Kinetic studies on the interaction of three Ha-ras-encoded p21 proteins with GDP and MgGDP have yielded values for the association (10(6)-10(7) M-1 s-1) and dissociation (10(-3)-10(-5) s-1) rate constants at 0 degrees C. Dramatic differences in the rate constants were not observed for the three proteins. Under non-physiological conditions (absence of Mg2+), the rate constant for GDP release was an order of magnitude faster for the viral protein p21v than for the cellular form p21c or the T24 mutant p21t, but this was reduced to a factor of about 3 in the presence of Mg2+. In all cases, there was an increase of about one order of magnitude in the rate of GDP release on removing magnesium. The binding affinities ranged from 5.7 X 10(10) M-1 for p21c to 1.3 X 10(11) M-1 for p21v. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements on Mn2+ bound together with stereospecifically 17O-labelled GDP showed direct coordination of a beta-phosphate oxygen to the metal ion with a superhyperfine coupling constant of 0.16-0.22 mT, but no interaction with the alpha-phosphate oxygens at the active site of all three proteins. The association constant of Mn(II) to p21 proteins in the absence of nucleotides was estimated to be greater than 10(5) M-1. In agreement with the EPR results, experiments on the metal ion dependence of the binding of thiophosphate analogs of GDP provided further evidence for the absence of direct coordination of the metal ion to the alpha-phosphate group. These results have been used to construct a model for the interactions of Mg X GDP with the active site of p21 proteins. 相似文献

The effect of Mg2+ on the guanine nucleotide exchange rate of p21N-ras 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
There is growing evidence that the protein products of the ras gene family, p21ras, can couple growth factor receptors to intracellular second messenger production and in particular to phosphoinositol lipid turnover. So far, however, there has been no direct proof that the ras proteins function as typical regulatory G proteins. We show here that the human p21N-ras protein, isolated from an Escherichia coli expression system, can exist as a stable GDP complex which exchanges very slowly with exogenous GTP, the half-life of the p21N-ras X GDP complex being around 20 min. However, in low Mg2+ (0.5 microM) the exchange rate is dramatically increased and the half-life of the p21N-ras X GDP complex is less than 30 s. Furthermore, in low Mg2+, the relative binding affinity of the protein for GTP as compared to GDP is increased 10-fold. The effect of low Mg2+ on the exchange rate of both normal and oncogenic mutant p21ras molecules is identical. We propose that removal of Mg2+ in vitro induces a similar conformational change to stimulation in vivo. The properties described here are consistent with a G protein-like activity for p21N-ras. 相似文献

Phosphonoacetohydroxamate (PhAH) is a tight-binding (Ki = 15 pM) inhibitor of enolase that is believed to mimic the aci-carboxylate form of the intermediate carbanion in the reaction [Anderson, V. E., Weiss, P. M., & Cleland, W. W. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 2779]. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of Mn2+ has been used to map sites of interaction of PhAH with the two divalent cations at the active site of enolase from bakers' yeast. EPR spectra of enolase-PhAH complexes containing two Mn2+ bound at the active site contain multiple fine structure transitions each with a 45-G 55Mn hyperfine spacing that is a characteristic of spin exchange coupled pairs of Mn2+. Magnetically dilute complexes were obtained by preparation of specific Mg2+/Mn2+ hybrid complexes by manipulating the order of addition of the divalent metal species. Thus, Mn2+ was placed in the higher affinity site by addition of 1 equiv of Mn2+ to a solution of enolase and PhAH, followed by addition of 1 equiv of Mg2+. Reversing the order of addition of Mg2+ and Mn2+ placed Mn2+ in the lower affinity site. Regiospecifically 17O-labeled forms of PhAH were prepared, and the binding of the functional groups on PhAH to Mn2+ at the two metal ion sites was determined from the presence or absence of 17O superhyperfine coupling in the EPR signals. The hydroxamate oxygen is a ligand of Mn2+ at the higher affinity site, a phosphonate oxygen is a ligand of Mn2+ at the lower affinity site, and the carbonyl oxygen is a mu-O bridge of the two metal ions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The presence of a water ligand on heme-iron in ferric hemoproteins can, in suitable cases, be detected by observing 17O superhyperfine interaction in the EPR spectra of solutions in H217O. Although no significant superhyperfine interaction is detectable in the EPR spectra of horseradish peroxidase itself, benzo-hydroxamic acid, which forms an outersphere complex with the enzyme analogous to an enzyme-peracid transition state, stabilizes an innersphere water ligand on the heme, as indicated by a ~1.3 gauss Fe3+-17O superhyperfine interaction in the EPR signal at g = 2, in the presence of 34–39% H217O at 8°K. These results indicate that the predominantly pentacoordinate Fe3+ ion in horseradish peroxidase is accessible to the solvent and that it acquires a water or hydroxyl ligand in the presence of benzohydroxamic acid. 相似文献

The complete coordination scheme for Mn(II) in transition-state-analogue complexes with creatine kinase has been determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Perturbations in the EPR spectra for Mn(II) due to superhyperfine coupling to 17O of selectively labeled ligands have been used to identify oxygen ligands in the first coordination sphere of the metal ion. The results show that in the complex of enzyme-MnADP-formate-creatine, Mn(II) is bound to oxygen ligands from both the alpha- and beta-phosphate groups of ADP, to an oxygen from the carboxylate group of formate, and to three water molecules. In the complex with thiocyanate replacing formate as the stabilizing anion, previous infrared experiments [Reed, G. H., Barlow, C. H., & Burns, R. A., Jr. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 4153-4158] indicated that the nitrogen from thiocyanate was bound to the Mn(II). The magnitudes of the 17O superphyperfine coupling constants from the O- ligands of the ADP phosphate groups and from the formate carboxylate are approximately equal and are larger than that for the water ligands. The symmetry of the zero-field-splitting tensor for Mn(II) indicates that the oxygens from the alpha- and beta-phosphate groups of ADP and the ligand donor atom from the anion occupy mutually cis positions in the octahedral coordination geometry. Water proton relaxation time measurements show that the three water molecules which are bound to Mn(II) are not in free exchange with the bulk solvent. Hence, an enclosed structure at the active site is indicated. The results suggest that for creatine kinase the activating metal ion is bound to all three phosphate groups in the transition state of the reaction. 相似文献

The structure of the divalent metal ion binding site of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase from Escherichia coli has been studied by using the vanadyl(IV) ion (VO2+) as probe. VO2+ binds at a single site per subunit in the presence or absence of substrates. Single turnover experiments measuring S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) formation from methionine and the ATP analogue 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate show that complexes containing VO2+ and either Mg2+ or Ca2+ as a second metal ion are catalytically active, while a complex containing VO2+ alone is inactive. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the enzyme-VO2+ complex, as well as complexes also containing AdoMet or methionine, indicate the coordination of two water molecules and at least two protein ligands to the VO2+. In complexes with polyphosphate substrates or products (e.g., enzyme-VO2+-ATP-methionine, enzyme-VO2+-PPi-Mg2+), EPR spectral changes reveal ligand substitutions on the VO2+, and 8.5-G isotropic superhyperfine coupling to two 31P nuclei can be resolved. 17O superhyperfine coupling from [17O]pyrophosphate indicates coordination of two oxygen atoms of PPi to the VO2+ ion. Thus the polyphosphate compounds are bidentate ligands to the VO2+, demonstrating that the VO2+ binds at the active site and suggesting a catalytic role for the protein-bound metal ion. 相似文献

The 2 equiv of divalent cation that are required cofactors for pyruvate kinase reside in sites of different affinities for different species of cation [Baek, Y. H., & Nowak, T. (1982) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 217, 491-497]. The intrinsic selectivity of the protein-based site for Mn(II) and of the nucleotide-based site for Mg(II) has been exploited in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations of ligands for Mn(II) at the protein-based site. Oxalate, a structural analogue of the enolate of pyruvate, has been used as a surrogate for the reactive form of pyruvate in complexes with enzyme, Mn(II), Mg(II), and ATP. Addition of Mg(II) to solutions of enzyme, Mn(II), ATP, and oxalate sharpens the EPR signals for the enzyme-bound Mn(II). Superhyperfine coupling between the unpaired electron spin of Mn(II) and the nuclear spin of 17O, specifically incorporated into oxalate, shows that oxalate is bound at the active site as a bidentate chelate with Mn(II). Coordination of the gamma-phosphate of ATP to this same Mn(II) center is revealed by observation of superhyperfine coupling form 17O regiospecifically incorporated into the gamma-phosphate group of ATP. By contrast, 17O in the alpha-phosphate or in the beta-phosphate groups of ATP does not influence the spectrum. Experiments in 17O-enriched water show that there is also a single water ligand bound to the Mn(II). These data indicate that ATP bridges Mn(II) and Mg(II) at the active site. A close spacing of the two divalent cations is also evident from the occurrence of magnetic interactions for complexes in which 2 equiv of Mn(II) are present at the active site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Amino acid sequence homology between the GTPase Activating Protein (GAP) and the GTP-binding regulatory protein, Gs alpha, suggests that a specific region of GAP primary structure (residues 891-898) may be involved in its stimulation of p21ras GTP hydrolytic activity (McCormick, F. [1989] Nature 340, 678-679). A peptide, designated p891, corresponding to GAP residues 891-906 (M891RTRVVSGFVFLRLIC906) was synthesized and tested for its ability to inhibit GAP-stimulated p21ras GTPase activity. At a concentration of 25 microM, p891 inhibited GAP activity approximately 50%. Unexpectedly, p891 also stimulated GTP binding to p21N-ras independent of GAP. This stimulation correlated with an enhancement of p21N-ras.GDP dissociation; an approximate 15-fold increase in the presence of 10 microM p891. In contrast, dissociation of the p21N-ras.GTP gamma S complex was unaffected by 10 microM p891. The p21N-ras.GDP complex was unresponsive to 100 microM mastoparan, a peptide toxin shown previously to accelerate GDP dissociation from the guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins, Gi and Go. p21H-ras, as well as the two p21H-ras effector mutants, Ala-38, and Ala-35, Leu-36, also exhibited increased rates of GDP dissociation in the presence of p891. Also tested were three ras-related GTP-binding proteins; rap, G25K and rac. The rap.-GDP complex was unaffected by 10 microM p891. Dissociation of the G25K- and rac.GDP complexes were enhanced slightly; approximately 1.3- and 1.8-fold over control, respectively. Thus, the inhibitory effect of p891 on GAP stimulation of p21ras suggests that amino acids within the region 891-906 of GAP may be essential for interaction with p21ras. In addition, p891 independently affects the nucleotide exchange properties of p21ras. 相似文献

Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to obtain information on the structure and stability of the products of GTP cleavage at the active site of elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) from Bacillus stearothermophilus. Using stereospecifically labelled (Sp)-(Rp)-[beta-17O]GTP (prepared by modification of a previously published procedure which is now also suitable for guanine nucleotides), it was found that only one of the two possible diastereomers (Sp) led to detectable line-broadening of the EPR spectrum of Mn2+ at the active site of EF-Tu (linewidth 1.5 mT), whereas the Rp isomer caused the same linewidth as unlabelled nucleotide (1.3 mT). From our earlier work and from a demonstration that the lifetime of the state giving the broadened spectrum is too long to be assigned to the EF-Tu.GDP.Mn complex [the rate constant for decay as measured by displacement of GDP by the fluorescent 2'(3')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-GDP is 6.2 x 10(-3) s-1 at 25 degrees C and pH 6.8], we conclude that the broadened signal arises from the EF-Tu.Mn.GDP.Pi complex, the predominant steady-state species. During the hydrolysis of GTP the Mn2+ remains bound to the beta-phosphate oxygen of GDP which arises from the beta pro-S oxygen of GTP, possibly until GDP dissociates and certainly until Pi dissociates. Addition of elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts) to this intermediate leads to rapid reduction of the linewidth to that expected for random distribution of interactions of one 17O and two 16O atoms of GDP with Mn2+, and is not distinguishable from that exhibited by (Rp)-[beta-17O]GTP in the corresponding complex in the presence of EF-Ts. 相似文献

The small GTPase Ras plays a key role as a molecular switch in the intercellular signal transduction. On Mg(2+) --> Mn(2+) substituted samples, the first ligand sphere of the metal ion in the inactive, GDP-bound Ras has been studied by continuous wave EPR at 94 GHz (W-band). Via replacement of normal water with (17)O-enriched water, the (17)O--(55)Mn superhyperfine coupling was used to determine the number of water ligands bound to the metal ion. In contrast to EPR data on frozen solutions and X-ray data from single crystals where four direct ligands to the metal ion are found, the wild-type protein has only three water ligands bound in solution at room temperature. The same number of water ligands is found for the mutant Ras(T35S). However, for the alanine mutant in position 35 Ras(T35A) as well as for the oncogenic mutant Ras(G12V), four water ligands can be observed in liquid solution. The EPR studies were supplemented by (31)P NMR studies on the Mg(2+) x GDP complexes of the wild-type protein and the three mutants. Ras(T35A) exists in two conformational states (1 and 2) with an equilibrium constant K(1)(1,2) of approximately 0.49 and rate constants k(1--1) which are much smaller than 40 s(-1) at 298 K. For wild-type Ras and Ras(T35S), the two states can also be observed with equilibrium constants K(1)(1,2) of approximately 0.31 and 0.21, respectively. In Ras(G12V), only one conformational state could be detected. 相似文献

Escherichia coli GDP-mannose mannosyl hydrolase (GDPMH), a homodimer, catalyzes the hydrolysis of GDP-alpha-D-sugars to yield the beta-D-sugar and GDP by nucleophilic substitution with inversion at the C1' carbon of the sugar [Legler, P. M., Massiah, M. A., Bessman, M. J., and Mildvan, A. S. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 8603-8608]. GDPMH requires a divalent cation for activity such as Mn2+ or Mg2+, which yield similar kcat values of 0.15 and 0.13 s(-1), respectively, at 22 degrees C and pH 7.5. Kinetic analysis of the Mn2+-activated enzyme yielded a K(m) of free Mn2+ of 3.9 +/- 1.3 mM when extrapolated to zero substrate concentration (K(a)Mn2+), which tightened to 0.32 +/- 0.18 mM when extrapolated to infinite substrate concentration (K(m)Mn2+). Similarly, the K(m) of the substrate extrapolated to zero Mn2+ concentration (K(S)(GDPmann) = 1.9 +/- 0.5 mM) and to infinite Mn2+ concentration (K(m)(GDPmann) = 0.16 +/- 0.09 mM) showed an order of magnitude decrease at saturating Mn2+. Such mutual tightening of metal and substrate binding suggests the formation of an enzyme-metal-substrate bridge complex. Direct Mn2+ binding studies, monitoring the concentration of free Mn2+ by EPR and of bound Mn2+ by its enhanced paramagnetic effect on the longitudinal relaxation rate of water protons (PRR), detected three Mn2+ binding sites per enzyme monomer with an average dissociation constant (K(D)) of 3.2 +/- 1.0 mM, in agreement with the kinetically determined K(a)Mn2+. The enhancement factor (epsilon(b)) of 11.5 +/- 1.2 indicates solvent access to the enzyme-bound Mn2+ ions. No cross relaxation was detected among the three bound Mn2+ ions, suggesting them to be separated by at least 10 A. Such studies also yielded a weak dissociation constant for the binary Mn2+-GDP-mannose complex (K1 = 6.5 +/- 1.0 mM) which significantly exceeded the kinetically determined K(m) values of Mn2+, indicating the true substrate to be GDP-mannose rather than its Mn2+ complex. Substrate binding monitored by changes in 1H-15N HSQC spectra yielded a dissociation constant for the binary E-GDP-mannose complex (K(S)(GDPmann)) of 4.0 +/- 0.5 mM, comparable to the kinetically determined K(S) value (1.9 +/- 0.5 mM). To clarify the metal stoichiometry at the active site, product inhibition by GDP, a potent competitive inhibitor (K(I) = 46 +/- 27 microM), was studied. Binding studies revealed a weak, binary E-GDP complex (K(D)(GDP) = 9.4 +/- 3.2 mM) which tightened approximately 500-fold in the presence of Mn2+ to yield a ternary E-Mn2+-GDP complex with a dissociation constant, K3(GDP) = 18 +/- 9 microM, which overlaps with the K(I)(GDP). The tight binding of Mn2+ to 0.7 +/- 0.2 site per enzyme subunit in the ternary E-Mn2+-GDP complex (K(A)' = 15 microM) and the tight binding of GDP to 0.8 +/- 0.1 site per enzyme subunit in the ternary E-Mg2+-GDP complex (K3 < 0.5 mM) indicate a stoichiometry close to 1:1:1 at the active site. The decrease in the enhancement factor of the ternary E-Mn2+-GDP complex (epsilon(T) = 4.9 +/- 0.4) indicates decreased solvent access to the active site Mn2+, consistent with an E-Mn2+-GDP bridge complex. Fermi contact splitting (4.3 +/- 0.2 MHz) of the phosphorus signal in the ESEEM spectrum established the formation of an inner sphere E-Mn2+-GDP complex. The number of water molecules coordinated to Mn2+ in this ternary complex was determined by ESEEM studies in D2O to be two fewer than on the average Mn2+ in the binary E-Mn2+ complexes, consistent with bidentate coordination of enzyme-bound Mn2+ by GDP. Kinetic, metal binding, and GDP binding studies with Mg2+ yielded dissociation constants similar to those found with Mn2+. Hence, GDPMH requires one divalent cation per active site to promote catalysis by facilitating the departure of the GDP leaving group, unlike its homologues the MutT pyrophosphohydrolase, which requires two, or Ap4A pyrophosphatase, which requires three. 相似文献

Analysis of titration data of EF-Tu-GDP with Mn(II) where free and bound Mn(II) were determined by proton relaxation rate of water (PRR) yields one tight Mn(II) binding site and a value of 2 muM for the dissociation constant of Mn(II) from the EF-Tu-MnGDP complex, K'A. The dissociation constant of manganese nucleotide from the ternary EF-Tu-MnGDP complex, K2, 0.2 muM, was derived from the known value of Ks, the dissociation constant for the binary EF-Tu-GDP complex, and the titration data of the ternary complex with excess GDP as titrant. The apparent number, n, of rapidly exchanging water ligands coordinated to bound Mn(II) in the ternary complex EF-Tu-MnGDP is estimated from the frequency dependence of the PRR of the complex to be approximately 1. The value of n and the values of PRR enhancements, epsilont = 4.3 for EF-Tu-MnGDP at 21 degrees, 24.3 MHZ and epsilont = 4.1 for the ternary GTP complex, are unusually low for protein-Mn-nucleotide complexes. The antibiotic X5108 which induces GTPase activity in EF-Tu-MgGTP was shown to bind stoichiometrically to EF-Tu-MnGDP and thereby change the PRR enhancement of the complex from 4.3 to 7.4. The characteristic broad lines in the EPR spectra of Mn(II) nucleotides are strikingly narrowed upon binding of Mn(II) nucleotides to EF-Tu. The long electron spin relaxation times inferred from the EPR spectra indicate a limited access of solvent water to the first coordination sphere of Mn(II) in its EF-Tu-nucleotide complexes. The frequency dependence of the PRR indicates that the electron spin relaxation time, T1e, is the dominant process modulating the Mn(II)-H2O interaction of the EF-Tu-MnGDP complex and consequently determines the correlation time. The value of T1e, estimated from the PRR experiments to be 2.5 ns at 21 degrees, is consistent with the lower limit of T1e obtained from the line widths of the EPR spectrum of the complex. Upon binding of a stoichiometric quantity of the antibiotic X5108, the EPR spectrum of EF-Tu-MnGDP is severely broadened indicating greater access of solvent water to the manganese coordination sphere, i.e. an opening of the nucleotide binding site as already suggested by the increased PRR enhancement. 相似文献

Electron spin echo modulation and nuclear relaxation studies of staphylococcal nuclease and its metal-coordinating mutants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy has been applied to the determination of the number of water molecules coordinated to the metal in the binary complex of staphylococcal nuclease with Mn2+, to the ternary enzyme-Mn2+-3',5'-pdTp complex, and to ternary complexes of a number of mutant enzymes in which metal-binding ligands have been individually altered. Quantitation of coordinated water is based on ESEEM spectral comparisons of Mn2+-EDTA and Mn2+-DTPA, which differ by a single inner sphere water, and with Mn2+-(H2O)6. It was found that Mn2+ in the ternary complex of the wild-type enzyme has a single additional coordinated water, as compared to Mn2+ in the binary complex, confirming earlier findings based on T1 measurements of bound water [Serpersu, E. H., Shortle, D. L., & Mildvan, A. S. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 1289-1300]. Ternary complexes of the mutant proteins D40E, D40G, and D21Y have the same number of water ligands as the ternary complex of the wild-type enzyme, while the D21E mutant has one less water ligand. In order to maintain octahedral coordination geometry, these findings require two additional ligands to Mn2+ from the protein in the binary complex of the wild-type enzyme, probably Glu 43 and Asp 19, and one additional ligand from the protein in the ternary D40G and D21E complexes. Other ESEEM studies of ternary Mn2+ complexes of wild-type, D21E, and D21Y mutants indicate the coordination by Mn2+ of a phosphate of 3',5'-pdTp, as demonstrated by a 31P contact interaction of 3.9 +/- 0.3 MHz. Magnetic interaction of Mn2+ with 31P could not be demonstrated with the D40G and D40E mutants, suggesting that metal-phosphate distances are greater in these mutants than in the wild-type protein. In a parallel NMR study of the paramagnetic effects of enzyme-bound Co2+ (which occupies the Mn2+ site on the enzyme) on the T1 of 31P from enzyme-bound 3',5'-pdTp and 5'-TMP, it was found that metal to 5'-phosphate distances are 0.9-1.6 A shorter in ternary complexes of the wild-type enzyme and of the D21E mutant than in ternary complexes of the D40G mutant. In all cases, the 5'-phosphate of pdTp is in the inner coordination sphere of Co2+ and the 3'-phosphate is predominantly in the second coordination sphere. 相似文献

Regulation of p21ras activity. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The ras genes encode GTP/GDP-binding proteins that participate in mediating mitogenic signals from membrane tyrosine kinases to downstream targets. The activity of p21ras is determined by the concentration of GTP-p21ras, which is tightly regulated by a complex array of positive and negative control mechanisms. GAP and NF1 can negatively regulate p21ras activity by stimulating hydrolysis of GTP bound to p21ras. Other cellular factors can positively regulate p21ras by stimulating GDP/GTP exchange. 相似文献

The product of the protooncogenic ras gene (p21N ras) exhibits a weak GTPase activity. A significant increase in the GTPase activity associated with p21N ras protein was obtained by using glycerol in the assay mixture. Of the several metal ions tested, only Mg++ and Mn++ are effective divalent cations that support the GTPase activity of p21N ras protein. p21N ras protein exhibits higher GTPase activity and yields higher [3H] GDP binding in the presence of MnCl2 than with MgCl2. Optimal GTPase and [3H] GDP binding are obtained at micromolar concentrations of MgCl2 or MnCl2. Concentrations in the millimolar range of either MgCl2 or MnCl2 are inhibitory to the GTPase activity, whereas [3H] GDP binding was not affected. 相似文献

The stereochemical configurations of the Mn(II) complexes with the resolved epimers of adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiodiphosphate) (ADP alpha S), bound at the active site of creatine kinase, have been determined in order to assess the relative strengths of enzymic stereoselectivity versus Lewis acid/base preferences in metal-ligand binding. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data have been obtained for Mn(II) in anion-stabilized, dead-end (transition-state analogue) complexes, in ternary enzyme-MnIIADP alpha S complexes, and in the central complexes of the equilibrium mixture. The modes of coordination of Mn(II) at P alpha in the nitrate-stabilized, dead-end complexes with each epimer of ADP alpha S were ascertained by EPR measurements with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S and (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S. The EPR spectrum for the complex with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S showed inhomogeneous broadening due to unresolved superhyperfine coupling from coordinated 17O at P alpha. By contrast, the EPR spectrum for Mn(II) in complex with (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S is indistinguishable from that obtained for a matched sample with unlabeled (Sp)-ADP alpha S. A reduction in the magnitude of the 55Mn hyperfine coupling constant in the spectrum for the complex containing (Sp)-ADP alpha S is indicative of Mn(II)-thio coordination at P alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
