This study was undertaken in order to test the models of ATP and GTP binding to carp deoxyhaemoglobin proposed by Perutz & Brunori (1982) and to find out why GTP is a more potent allosteric effector than ATP. We have determined the conformations of both nucleoside triphosphates by nuclear magnetic resonance studies and found them to be the same. The purines are in anti conformation about the glycosidic bond that links them to the ribose; the pentose ring is 3'-endo; the P-O5'-C5'-C4' torsion angle lies in the trans domain (180 degrees +/- 20 degrees); the P alpha-O-P beta and P beta-O-P gamma angles are as in the free nucleotides, i.e. the trinucleotide chain is fully extended. Models having this conformation were fitted, first manually and then by energy refinement, to the effector site of an atomic model of human deoxyhaemoglobin in which the side-chains in the NA, EF and H segments had been replaced by those of carp. The results showed the location of the polar groups in carp haemoglobin to be such that (PO4) gamma can accept hydrogen bonds from Val NA1 beta 2 and from Arg H21 beta 1, while (PO4) beta and (PO4) alpha can accept hydrogen bonds from Lys EF6 beta 1 and beta 2. In ATP, the 6-amino group of the purine can donate a hydrogen bond to Glu NA2 beta 1. In GTP, the 2-amino group can donate a hydrogen bond to Glu NA2 beta 1; in addition, Val Na1 beta 1 can donate a hydrogen bond to O2' of the ribose. This additional hydrogen bond may explain why in carp haemoglobin GTP is a stronger allosteric effector than ATP. We have found the influence of the two allosteric effectors on the oxygen affinity of trout IV haemoglobin to be the same, even though the only difference in the lining of the allosteric effector sites lies in the replacement of Glu Na2 beta in carp by Asp in trout IV haemoglobin. Model building then showed that formation of a hydrogen bond between Asp Na2 beta and the 2-amino group of guanine precludes formation of a hydrogen bond between Val NA1 beta and O2' of the ribose or vice versa, which makes the number of hydrogen bonds formed between trout IV haemoglobin and GTP the same as those formed with ATP. 相似文献

A new haemoglobin variant with a decreased oxygen affinity is described, in which the substitution, alpha 94 (G1) Asp replaced by Asn, affects the alpha1beta2 contact alpha1G1-beta2G4. The relevance of this variant to our understanding of the importance of the hydrogen bond between alpha1G1 and beta2G4 in Perutz's model of oxyhaemoglobin A is discussed. 相似文献

Pike eel (Muraenesox cinereus) gonadotropin. Amino acid sequences of both alpha and beta subunits 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The amino acid sequences of pike eel gonadotropin alpha and beta subunits have been determined by standard sequencing analytical methods. The alpha subunit is composed of 93 amino acid residues while the beta subunit comprises 113 amino acid residues. All the invariant half-cystine residues are in the same positions as those found in other gonadotropins. It is noteworthy that the first, putative glycosylation site (Asn56) found in the alpha subunit of other gonadotropins was replaced by Asp56 in the alpha subunit of pike eel gonadotropin. Similarity analyses indicate that both subunits are structurally more similar to other known fish gonadotropin subunits than to those of the mammalian gonadotropins. 相似文献

Two new haemoglobins are described which were found during a regular survey on voluntary blood donors in Iran. They are haemoglobin Perspolis [alpha 64 (E13) Asp leads to Tyr] and haemoglobin J-Kurosh [alpha 19 (AB) Ala leads to Asp]. The amino acid substitution in these two variants was determined by fingerprinting and amino acid analysis of the tryptic peptides and thermolytic peptides derived from abnormal tryptic peptides. Neither haemoglobin was associated with clinical symptoms. 相似文献

In normal deoxyhemoglobin A, the beta chain COOH-terminal peptide adopts a well ordered structure which is needed for the full expression of allosteric action. Our crystallographic studies of deoxyhemoglobin Creteil (beta 89 Ser replaced by Asn), a variant hemoglobin characterized by high oxygen affinity and a very low level of allosteric function, show that replacement of Ser 89 beta by asparagine causes severe disordering of the beta chain COOH-terminal tetrapeptide. This results, as shown by our spectroscopic studies, in the destabilization of the quaternary structure of deoxyhemoglobin Creteil. We find, furthermore, that the changes in tertiary structure observed in deoxyhemoglobin Creteil are common to other variant hemoglobins having similar functional abnormalities but very different changes in primary structure. In particular, direct comparison of the difference electron density map of deoxyhemoglobin Creteil with that of deoxyhemoglobin Nancy (beta 145 Tyr replaced by Asp) suggests that these two abnormal hemoglobins may have the same mechanism of dysfunction despite the very different nature of their respective sequence changes. 相似文献

A new mildly unstable haemoglobin, Hb North Shore (beta134 Val replaced by Glu) is described. It was found in a 4th generation Australian of Anglo-Celtic origin with a mild microcytic anaemia. The charge change involved is partially obscured as evidenced by the electrophoretic mobility of the native haemoglobin. The structural studies illustrate the usefulness of Staphylococcus aureus strain V8 protease as a specific cleavage enzyme at glutamyl residues. 相似文献

In human deoxy haemoglobin, the alpha 42(C7)Tyr-residue is hydrogen-bonded to beta 99(G1)Asp which stabilizes the low-oxygen-affinity deoxy conformation. We engineered a haemoglobin with Tyr for Phe at the homologous C7 position in beta-chains. The oxygen affinity of the variant is decreased about two-fold relative to Hb A while keeping similar KR and KT values. This mutant may be a candidate for the development of an artificial oxygen carrier, as it would not require an external effector for significant oxygen unloading in vivo. 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of the beta-chain of the principal haemoglobin from the shark H. portusjacksoni has been determined. The chain has 141 residues, the same as that of mammalian alpha-chains and less than the 146 residues of mammalian beta-chains or the 148 residues of the alpha-chain from the tetrameric shark haemoglobin. The sequence was deduced from the sequences of peptides obtained by digestion of the globin or its cyanogen bromide fragments with trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin and papain. The difference in length of the beta-chain is most readily accounted for by the absence of the D helix. This small helical section is normally present in myoglobins and beta-globins but absent in alpha-chains. The deduction that it is absent from shark beta-chain is based on consideration of homology. The beta-chain shows the insertion of histidine beta2 and the deletions corresponding to residues A17 and AB1 relative to alpha-and myoglobin chains. The reactive thiol group in shark haemoglobin was shown by radioactive labelling to be residue 51 in the beta-chain, immediately preceding the E helix. The amino acid sequence of shark beta-chain shows 92 differences from human beta-chain, significantly more differences than shown by chicken or frog beta-chains, in line with its earlier time of divergence. If the tertiary structure of the shark beta-chain is the same as that of the horse then there are two changes in the alpha1beta2 contact site in oxyhaemoglobin and an additional one in deoxyhaemoglobin. When both alpha- and beta-chain contacts are considered there is a total of nine changes in residues involved in the alpha1beta2 contacts. There is no Bohr effect in shark haemoglobin, and of the residues normally involved in this effect the C-terminal histidine residue of the beta-chain is present, but the aspartyl (FG1) residue to which it is salt-linked is not, being replaced by a glutamyl residue. 相似文献

Src Homology (SH2) domains play critical roles in signaling pathways by binding to phosphotyrosine (pTyr)-containing sequences, thereby recruiting SH2 domain-containing proteins to tyrosine-phosphorylated sites on receptor molecules. Investigations of the peptide binding specificity of the SH2 domain of the Src kinase (Src SH2 domain) have defined the EEI motif C-terminal to the phosphotyrosine as the preferential binding sequence. A subsequent study that probed the importance of eight specificity-determining residues of the Src SH2 domain found two residues which when mutated to Ala had significant effects on binding: Tyr beta D5 and Lys beta D3. The mutation of Lys beta D3 to Ala was particularly intriguing, since a Glu to Ala mutation at the first (+1) position of the EEI motif (the residue interacting with Lys beta D3) did not significantly affect binding. Hence, the interaction between Lys beta D3 and +1 Glu is energetically coupled. This study is focused on the dissection of the energetic coupling observed across the SH2 domain-phosphopeptide interface at and around the +1 position of the peptide. It was found that three residues of the SH2 domain, Lys beta D3, Asp beta C8 and AspCD2 (altogether forming the so-called +1 binding region) contribute to the selection of Glu at the +1 position of the ligand. A double (Asp beta C8Ala, AspCD2Ala) mutant does not exhibit energetic coupling between Lys beta D3 and +1 Glu, and binds to the pYEEI sequence 0.3 kcal/mol tighter than the wild-type Src SH2 domain. These results suggest that Lys beta D3 in the double mutant is now free to interact with the +1 Glu and that the role of Lys beta D3 in the wild-type is to neutralize the acidic patch formed by Asp beta C8 and AspCD2 rather than specifically select for a Glu at the +1 position as it had been hypothesized previously. A triple mutant (Lys beta D3Ala, Asp beta C8Ala, AspCD2Ala) has reduced binding affinity compared to the double (Asp beta C8Ala, AspCD2Ala) mutant, yet binds the pYEEI peptide as well as the wild-type Src SH2 domain. The structural basis for such high affinity interaction was investigated crystallographically by determining the structure of the triple (Lys beta D3Ala, Asp beta C8Ala, AspCD2Ala) mutant bound to the octapeptide PQpYEEIPI (where pY indicates a phosphotyrosine). This structure reveals for the first time contacts between the SH2 domain and the -1 and -2 positions of the peptide (i.e. the two residues N-terminal to pY). Thus, unexpectedly, mutations in the +1 binding region affect binding of other regions of the peptide. Such additional contacts may account for the high affinity interaction of the triple mutant for the pYEEI-containing peptide. 相似文献

Amino acid substitutions in the epsilon-subunit of the F1F0-ATPase of Escherichia coli 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A mutant strain of Escherichia coli was isolated in which Gly-48 of the mature epsilon-subunit of the energy-transducing adenosine triphosphatase was replaced by Asp. This amino acid substitution caused inhibition of ATPase activity (about 70%), loss of ATP-dependent proton translocation and lowered oxidative phosphorylation, but did not affect proton translocation through the F0. Purified F1-ATPase from the mutant strain bound to stripped membranes with the same affinity as the normal F1-ATPase. Partial revertant strains were isolated in which Pro-47 of the epsilon-subunit was replaced by Ser or Thr. Pro-47 and Gly-48 are predicted to be residues 2 and 3 in a Type II beta-turn and the Gly-48 to Asp substitution is predicted to cause a change from a Type II to a Type I or III beta-turn. Space-filling models of the beta-turn (residues 46-49) in the normal, mutant and partial revertant epsilon-subunits indicate that the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Gly-48 is in a different position to the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Asp-48 and that the substitution of Pro-47 by either Ser or Thr restores an oxygen close to the original position. It is suggested that the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Gly-48 of the epsilon-subunit is involved either structurally in inter-subunit H-bonding or directly in proton movements through the F1-ATPase. 相似文献

A new haemoglobin with increased oxygen affinity, beta82 (EF6) lysine leads to threonine (Hb Rahere), was found during the investigation of a patient who was found to have a raised haemoglobin concentration after a routine blood count. The substitution affects one of the 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate binding sites, resulting in an increased affinity for oxygen, but both the haem-haem interaction and the alkaline Bohr effect are normal in the haemolysate. This variant had the same mobility as haemoglobin A on electrophoresis at alkaline pH but was detected by measuring the whole blood oxygen affinity; it could be separated from haemoglobin A, however, by electrophoresis in agar at acid pH. The raised haemoglobin concentration was mainly due to a reduction in plasma volume (a relative polycythaemia) and was associated with a persistently raised white blood count. This case emphasises the need to measure the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin in all patients with absolute or relative polycythaemia when some obvious cause is not evident. 相似文献

Sphingomyelinases D (SMases D) from Loxosceles spider venom are the principal toxins responsible for the manifestation of dermonecrosis, intravascular hemolysis, and acute renal failure, which can result in death. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, resulting in the formation of ceramide 1-phosphate and choline or the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidyl choline, generating the lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid. This report represents the first crystal structure of a member of the sphingomyelinase D family from Loxosceles laeta (SMase I), which has been determined at 1.75-angstrom resolution using the "quick cryo-soaking" technique and phases obtained from a single iodine derivative and data collected from a conventional rotating anode x-ray source. SMase I folds as an (alpha/beta)8 barrel, the interfacial and catalytic sites encompass hydrophobic loops and a negatively charged surface. Substrate binding and/or the transition state are stabilized by a Mg2+ ion, which is coordinated by Glu32, Asp34, Asp91, and solvent molecules. In the proposed acid base catalytic mechanism, His12 and His47 play key roles and are supported by a network of hydrogen bonds between Asp34, Asp52, Trp230, Asp233, and Asn252. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to construct three recombinant mutant hemoglobins (rHbs), rHb(beta L105W), rHb(alpha D94A/betaL105W), and rHb(alpha D94A). rHb(beta L105W) is designed to form a new hydrogen bond from beta 105Trp to alpha 94Asp in the alpha(1)beta(2) subunit interface to lower the oxygen binding affinity by stabilizing the deoxy quaternary structure. We have found that rHb(beta L105W) does indeed possess a very low oxygen affinity and maintains normal cooperativity (P(50) = 28.2 mmHg, n(max) = 2.6 in 0.1 M sodium phosphate at pH 7.4) compared to those of Hb A (P(50) = 9.9 mmHg, n(max) = 3.2 at pH 7.4). rHb(alpha D94A/beta L105W) and rHb(alpha D94A) are expressed to provide evidence that rHb(betaL 105W) does form a new H-bond from beta 105Trp to alpha 94Asp in the alpha(1)beta(2) subunit interface of the deoxy quaternary structure. Our multinuclear, multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies on (15)N-labeled rHb(beta L105W) have identified the indole nitrogen-attached (1)H resonance of beta 105Trp for rHb(beta L105W). (1)H NMR studies on Hb A and mutant rHbs have been used to investigate the structural basis for the low O(2) affinity of rHb(beta L105W). Our NMR results provide evidence that rHb(beta L105W) forms a new H-bond from beta 105Trp to alpha 94Asp in the alpha(1)beta(2) subunit interface of the deoxy quaternary structure. The NMR results also show that these three rHbs can switch from the R quaternary structure to the T quaternary structure in their ligated state upon addition of an allosteric effector, inositol hexaphosphate. We propose that the low O(2) affinity of rHb(beta L105W) is due to the formation of a new H-bond between alpha 105Trp and alpha 94Asp in the deoxy quaternary structure. 相似文献

A sequence of 10 amino acids (I-C-S-D-K-T-G-T-L-T) of ion motive ATPases such as Na+/K+-ATPase is similar to the sequence of the beta subunit of H+-ATPases, including that of Escherichia coli (I-T-S-T-K-T-G-S-I-T) (residues 282-291). The Asp (D) residue phosphorylated in ion motive ATPase corresponds to Thr (T) of the beta subunit. This substitution may be reasonable because there is no phosphoenzyme intermediate in the catalytic cycle of F1-ATPase. We replaced Thr-285 of the beta subunit by an Asp residue by in vitro mutagenesis and reconstituted the alpha beta gamma complex from the mutant (or wild-type) beta and wild-type alpha and gamma subunits. The uni- and multisite ATPase activities of the alpha beta gamma complex with mutant beta subunits were about 20 and 30% of those with the wild-type subunit. The rate of ATP binding (k1) of the mutant complex under uni-site conditions was about 10-fold less than that of the wild-type complex. These results suggest that Thr-285, or the region in its vicinity, is essential for normal catalysis of the H+-ATPase. The mutant complex could not form a phosphoenzyme under the conditions where the H+/K+-ATPase is phosphorylated, suggesting that another residue(s) may also be involved in formation of the intermediate in ion motive ATPase. The wild-type alpha beta gamma complex had slightly different kinetic properties from the wild-type F1, possibly because it did not contain the epsilon subunit. 相似文献

Escherichia coli RNase HI has two Mn(2+)-binding sites. Site 1 is formed by Asp10, Glu48, and Asp70, and site 2 is formed by Asp10 and Asp134. Site 1 and site 2 have been proposed to be an activation site and an attenuation site, respectively. However, Glu48 and Asp134 are dispensable for Mn(2+)-dependent activity. In order to identify the Mn(2+)-binding sites of the mutant proteins at Glu48 and/or Asp134, the crystal structures of the mutant proteins E48A-RNase HI*, D134A-RNase HI*, and E48A/D134N-RNase HI* in complex with Mn(2+) were determined. In E48A-RNase HI*, Glu48 and Lys87 are replaced by Ala. In D134A-RNase HI*, Asp134 and Lys87 are replaced by Ala. In E48A/D134N-RNase HI*, Glu48 and Lys87 are replaced by Ala and Asp134 is replaced by Asn. All crystals had two or four protein molecules per asymmetric unit and at least two of which had detectable manganese ions. These structures indicated that only one manganese ion binds to the various positions around the center of the active-site pocket. These positions are different from one another, but none of them is similar to site 1. The temperature factors of these manganese ions were considerably larger than those of the surrounding residues. These results suggest that the first manganese ion required for activation of the wild-type protein fluctuates among various positions around the center of the active-site pockets. We propose that this fluctuation is responsible for efficient hydrolysis of the substrates by the protein (metal fluctuation model). The binding position of the first manganese ion is probably forced to shift to site 1 or site 2 upon binding of the second manganese ion. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participate in physiological remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Recently we determined that both fibrinogen (Fg) and cross-linked fibrin (XL-Fb) are substrates for selected MMPs. Specifically, XL-Fb clots were solubilized by MMP-3 (stromelysin 1) by cleavage at gamma Gly 404-Ala 405, resulting in a D-like monomer fragment. Similarly, MMP-7 (matrilysin) and MT1-MMP (membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase) solubilized XL-Fb clots. However, the molecular mass of fragment D-dimer, obtained after MMP-7 and MT1-MMP degradation of XL-Fb, is similar to that of fragment D-dimer from plasmin degradation ( approximately 186 kDa). In contrast, fragment D-like monomer, from MMP-3 degradation of both fibrinogen (Fg) and XL-Fb, is similar to fragment D from plasmin degradation of Fg ( approximately 94 kDa). Reduced chains from MMP-3, MMP-7, and MT1-MMP digests of Fg and XL-Fb were subjected to direct sequence analyses and D/D-dimer alpha-chain showed cleavage at both alpha Asp 97-Phe 98 and alpha Asn 102-Asn 103. Degradation of the beta-chain resulted in microheterogeneity of cleavage sites at beta Asp 123-Leu 124, beta Asn 137-Val 138, and beta Glu 141-Tyr 142, whereas all three enzymes cleaved the gamma-chain at gamma Thr 83-Leu 84. In both Fg and XL-Fb, several cleavage sites obtained by proteolysis with MMP-3, MMP-7, and MT1-MMP were found to be in very close proximity to those obtained by plasmin on these same substrates. That does not occur with other MMPs such as MMP-1, -2, and -9 and MT2-MMP. The degradation of XL-Fb by MMPs suggests both plasmin-dependent and independent mechanisms of fibrinolysis that might be relevant in inflammation, angiogenesis, arthritis, and atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Two haemoglobin components have been identified and purified from fallow-deer (Dama dama) erythrocytes. They are present in similar amounts and the two tetrameric molecules share the same alpha chain, while two different beta chains are detected in the two components. The beta chains differ by 14 residues, even though they both have 145 amino-acid residues, which account for a molecular mass of 16,023 and 16,064 Da, respectively, while alpha chain has 141 residues, yielding a molecular mass of 15,142 Da. Compared with human Hb, the N-terminal region of both beta chains shows deletion of Val beta 1 and the replacement of His beta 2 by a methionyl residue, a modification which is common to most ruminant haemoglobins. Although both isolated components show a low intrinsic affinity for oxygen, meaningful differences between the two haemoglobins have been found with respect to the effect of heterotropic effectors, such as 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and chloride ions. In view of the high sequence homology between the two components, the different effect of heterotropic ligands has been tentatively correlated to possible localized structural variations between beta chains of the two haemoglobin components. 相似文献

High-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance studies of deoxyhemoglobins Osler (beta145HC2 Tyr replaced by Asp) and McKees Rocks (beta 145HC2 Tyr replaced by term) indicate that these hemoglobins are predominately in the oxy quaternary structure in 0.1 M [bis(2-hydroxyethyl)imino]-tris(hydroxymethyl) methane buffer at pH 7. Upon the addition of inositol hexaphosphate, the proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of these hemoglobins become similar to those characteristic of a hemoglobin molecule in the deoxy quaternary structure. The exchangeable proton resonance which is found at -6.4 ppm from H2O in the spectrum of normal human adult deoxyhemoglobin is absent in the spectra of these two mutant hemoglobins. Consequently we believe the hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of tyrosine-beta145HC2 and the carboxyl oxygen of valine-beta98FG5 gives rise to this resonance. This assignment allows us to use the -6.4ppm resonance as an important tertiary structural probe in the investigation of the cooperative oxygenation of hemoglobin. 相似文献

A mutant strain of Escherichia coli was isolated in which Gly-48 of the mature ε-subunit of the energy-transducing adenosine triphosphatase was replaced by Asp. This amino acid substitution caused inhibition of ATPase activity (about 70%), loss of ATP-dependent proton translocation and lowered oxidative phosphorylation, but did not affect proton translocation through the F0. Purified F1-ATPase from the mutant strain bound to stripped membranes with the same affinity as the normal F1-ATPase. Partial revertant strains were isolated in which Pro-47 of the ε-subunit was replaced by Ser or Thr. Pro-47 and Gly-48 are predicted to be residues 2 and 3 in a Type II β-turn and the Gly-48 to Asp substitution is predicted to cause a change from a Type II to a Type I or III β-turn. Space-filling models of the β-turn (residues 46–49) in the normal, mutant and partial revertant ε-subunits indicate that the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Gly-48 is in a different position to the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Asp-48 and that the substitution of Pro-47 by either Ser or Thr restores an oxygen close to the original position. It is suggested that the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Gly-48 of the ε-subunit is involved either structurally in inter-subunit H-bonding or directly in proton movements through the F1-ATPase. 相似文献
