The chemical modification of histidine and arginine residues results in a loss of binding of the Mr 46,000 mannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR 46) to a phosphomannan affinity matrix (Stein, M., Meyer, J. E., Hasilik, A., and von Figura, K. (1987) Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 368, 927-936). Reversal of the modification or presence of mannose 6-phosphate during the modification partially restores or protects the binding activity, indicating that histidine and arginine residues contribute to the mannose 6-phosphate binding site. The 5 histidine and 8 arginine residues within the luminal domain of MPR 46, which contains the ligand binding site, were exchanged by site-directed mutagenesis. Only the conservative replacement of His-131 and Arg-137 by serine and lysine, respectively, results in a loss of binding activity without affecting other properties of the receptor such as the presence of intramolecular disulfide bonds, immunoreactivity, processing of N-linked oligosaccharides, formation of dimers, intracellular distribution, and surface expression. Conservative replacement of other histidine and arginine residues did not affect the binding activity. Nonconservative replacement of several arginine residues reduced binding activity and immunoreactivity, indicating that the loss of a positive charge at these positions alters the folding of MPR 46. We conclude from these results that His-131 and Arg-137 are essential for binding of ligands by MPR 46. 相似文献

Erythropoietin (Epo) has three N-linked sugar chains. Codons for asparagine at N-glycosylation sites in genomic human Epo DNA were replaced with those for glutamine. The wild-type Epo gene and seven mutants that lacked N-glycosylation sites in every possible combination were introduced into baby hamster-kidney cells. To study the role of the N-linked sugars in Epo biosynthesis, Epo protein expressed transiently was measured by an enzyme-linked immunoassay. The elimination of all three N-glycosylation sites decreased Epo production to 10% of that of the wild-type Epo. Wild-type and mutant Epos produced by stably transfected cells were partially purified to investigate their properties. Removal of N-glycosylation sites changed affinity of Epo to the receptor. The in vitro activity of Epo that lost all N-glycosylation sites was comparable with that of the wild-type Epo, while the in vivo activity severely decreased. These results indicate that N-linked sugars of Epo have two major functions; N-linked sugars are important for 1) proper biosynthesis and/or secretion and 2) expression of the in vivo activity probably by enhancing survival in the circulation. N-Linked sugars of Epo affect binding affinity of the ligand to the receptor but do not play a key role in expression of the in vitro activity. 相似文献

The modification of proteins at asparagine residues with oligosaccharides (N-glycans) plays critical roles in diverse cell functions. N-glycans originate from a common lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor whose synthesis is initiated by the Dol-P-dependent GlcNAc-1-P transferase (GPT) encoded by an essential ALG7 gene. To identify cellular processes affected by ALG7 and N-glycosylation, we replaced the genomic copy of ALG7 with its hypomorphic allele in two genetically distinct haploid yeast cells. We show that ALG7 knockdown gave rise to an unexpected phenotype of mitochondrial dysfunction. The alg7 mutants did not grow on glycerol and DNA arrays revealed the absence of mitochondrial genes' expression. Accordingly, the alg7 mutants displayed no detectable mtDNA and respiratory activity. Both mutants exhibited diminished abundance of LLO and under-glycosylation of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). Moreover, another N-glycosylation mutant with a LLO defect, alg6, was respiratory deficient. Collectively, our studies provide evidence that the dysregulation of N-glycosylation in haploid yeast cells leads to mitochondrial dysfunction. 相似文献

The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(7(a)) receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor critically involved in human psychiatric and neurological disorders. In the present study, we evaluate the presence and the functional role of N-glycosylation of the human 5-HT(7) receptor. Western blot analysis of HEK293T cells transiently expressing the 5-HT(7(a)) receptor in the presence of tunicamycin gave rise to a band shift, indicating the existence of an N-glycosylated form of the 5-HT(7(a)) receptor. To further investigate this, we mutated the two predicted N-glycosylation sites (N5Q and N66Q) and compared the molecular mass of the immunoreactive bands with those of the wild-type receptor, indicating that both asparagines were N-glycosylated. The mutant receptors had the same binding affinity for [(3) H]5-CT and the same potency and efficacy with regard to 5-HT-induced activation of adenylyl cyclase. However, there was a reduction in maximal ligand binding for the single and double mutants compared to the wild-type receptor. Next, membrane labelling and immunocytochemical studies demonstrated that the N-glycosylation mutants were expressed at the cell surface. We conclude that N-glycosylation is not important for cell surface expression of the 5-HT(7) receptor. 相似文献

Mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) deliver soluble acid hydrolases to the lysosome in higher eukaryotic cells. The two MPRs, the cation-dependent MPR (CD-MPR) and the insulin-like growth factor II/cation-independent MPR, carry out this process by binding with high affinity to mannose 6-phosphate residues found on the N-linked oligosaccharides of their ligands. To elucidate the key amino acids involved in conveying this carbohydrate specificity, site-directed mutagenesis studies were conducted on the extracytoplasmic domain of the bovine CD-MPR. Single amino acid substitutions of the residues that form the binding pocket were generated, and the mutant constructs were expressed in transiently transfected COS-1 cells. Following metabolic labeling, mutant CD-MPRs were tested for their ability to bind pentamannosyl phosphate-containing affinity columns. Of the eight amino acids mutated, four (Gln-66, Arg-111, Glu-133, and Tyr-143) were found to be essential for ligand binding. In addition, mutation of the single histidine residue, His-105, within the binding site diminished the binding of the receptor to ligand, but did not eliminate the ability of the CD-MPR to release ligand under acidic conditions. 相似文献

Cathepsin E (CE), a nonlysosomal, intracellular aspartic proteinase, exists in several molecular forms that are N-glycosylated with high-mannose and/or complex-type oligosaccharides. To investigate the role of N-glycosylation on the catalytic properties and molecular stability of CE, both natural and recombinant enzymes with distinct oligosaccharides were purified from different sources. An N-glycosylation minus mutant, that was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis (by changing asparagine residues to glutamine and aspartic acid residues at positions 73 and 305 in potential N-glycosylation sites of rat CE) and expressed in normal rat kidney cells, was also purified to homogeneity from the cell extracts. The kinetic parameters of the nonglycosylated mutant were found to be essentially equivalent to those of natural enzymes N-glycosylated with either high-mannose or complex-type oligosaccharides. In contrast, the nonglycosylated mutant showed lower pH and thermal stabilities than the glycosylated enzymes. The nonglycosylated mutant exhibited particular sensitivity to conversion to a monomeric form by 2-mercaptoethanol, as compared with those of the glycosylated enzymes. Further, the high-mannose-type enzymes were more sensitive to this agent than the complex-type proteins. A striking difference was found between the high-mannose and complex-type enzymes in terms of activation by ATP at a weakly acidic pH. At pH 5.5, the complex-type enzymes were stabilized by ATP to be restored to the virtual activity, whereas the high-mannose-type enzymes as well as the nonglycosylated mutant were not affected by ATP. These results suggest that N-glycosylation in CE is important for the maintenance of its proper folding upon changes in temperature, pH and redox state, and that the complex-type oligosaccharides contribute to the completion of the tertiary structure to maintain its active conformation in the weakly acidic pH environments. 相似文献

A rat Vla vasopressin (rVla) receptor has two putative N-glycosylation sites at 14th and 27th amino acid asparagine in the extracellular N-terminus. In the present study, we examined the possible roles of N-glycosylation of the N-terminus in the receptor function. Three point mutants for deglycosylated rVla receptor were generated in which the 14th and/or the 27th asparagine was replaced with glutamine, namely N14Q, N27Q, and N14:27Q, each tagged with an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) at their C-termini, and transfected to COS-7 or HEK292 cells. The two single mutants and a double mutant have progressively smaller molecular mass compared to the wild-type receptor as determined by immunoblot analysis, indicating that the two sites are effectively glycosylated in vivo. The maximal ligand binding capacities of three mutant receptors were comparable to that of wild-type (17.02 +/- 1.32 pmol/g protein) with modest changes in ligand binding affinities: N27Q and N14:27Q had decreased binding affinities compared to N14Q and wild-type receptors. The reduced binding affinities of the deglycosylated mutants are not likely due to the impaired intracellular transport since their traffickings were indistinguishable from one another. Taken together, these results suggest that the N-glycosylation at the two sites of the N-terminus of rV1a receptor minimally affects the surface expression and trafficking of the receptor. 相似文献

The role of N-glycosylation in the pharmacological properties and cell surface expression of AT1 receptor was evaluated. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we substituted both separately and simultaneously the asparagine residues in all three putative N-linked glycosylation consensus sequences (N-X-S/T) of AT1 receptor (positions 4, 176, and 188) with aspartic acid. Expression of these mutant receptors in COS-7 cells followed by photolabeling with [125I]-[p-benzoyl-Phe8]AngII and SDS-PAGE revealed ligand-receptor complexes of four different molecular sizes, indicating that the three N-glycosylation sites are actually occupied by oligosaccharides. Binding studies showed that the affinity of each mutant receptor for [Sar1,Ile8]Ang II was not significantly different from that of wild-type AT1 receptor. Moreover, the functional properties of all mutant receptors were unaffected as evaluated by inositol phosphate production. However, the expression levels of the aglycosylated mutant were 5-fold lower than that of the wild-type AT1 receptor. Use of green fluorescent protein-AT1 receptor fusion proteins in studying the cellular location of the aglycosylated mutant demonstrated that it was distributed at a much higher density to the ER-Golgi complex than to the plasma membrane in HEK 293 cells. Together, these results suggest an important role of N-glycosylation in the proper trafficking of AT1 receptor to the plasma membrane. 相似文献

The early steps in the biosynthesis of Mr 46,000 mannose 6-phosphate-specific receptor (MPR 46) have been studied by in vivo labeling of transfected BHK cells. The acquisition of phosphomannan-binding activity was compared with changes in protein structure and posttranslational modifications of MPR 46. Intramolecular disulfide bonds were formed before MPR 46 acquired a ligand-binding conformation. A conformational change that resulted in increased trypsin resistance, formation of highly immunogenic epitopes and assembly to noncovalently linked homodimers was observed almost simultaneously with the acquisition of ligand-binding activity. MPR 46 was shown to acquire ligand-binding activity before N-linked oligosaccharides were processed to complex-type forms. Maturation of the ligand-binding conformation was observed under conditions where transport to the Golgi was blocked by lowering the temperature to 16 degrees C, or by addition of brefeldin A or dinitrophenol to the medium at 37 degrees C. This suggests that receptor maturation and assembly take place before reaching the Golgi complex. The affinity towards phosphomannan-containing ligands was shown to be similar for the high-mannose and complex-glycosylated forms of MPR 46. 相似文献

Tyrosine-57 (Y57) and methionine-107 (M107) have been identified in the binding site of the sex steroid binding protein (SBP) (or sex hormone binding globulin) of human plasma by replacing the two amino acids with a number of residues of varying structure. Replacement of Y57 with phenylalanine resulted in a fourfold increase in the K(d) of 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone but left the K(d) of 17 beta-estradiol unchanged. Except in two cases, no further loss in binding took place when replacing Y57 with other residues, suggesting that the phenolic group of Y57 may form a hydrogen bond with the ligand. Replacement of M107 with isoleucine increased the 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone K(d) fourfold to a value equal to that of rabbit SBP, which contains isoleucine at the corresponding position; however, the K(d) of 17 beta-estradiol remained unchanged. Replacement of M107 with threonine resulted in a tenfold decrease in 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone binding affinity, whereas replacement with leucine left the K(d) unchanged. These data indicate that substitutions on the beta-carbon of the amino acid side-chain at position 107 causes significant loss of binding affinity but, as in the case of Y57, the activity was not totally eliminated. We conclude that Y57 and M107 form part of a structural motif within the steroid binding site and specifically contribute binding energy to ring A of 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone but not to ring A of 17 beta-estradiol. We also propose that the integrated contribution of several side chains may be required to optimize the ligand affinity of the steroid binding site. This proposal may fit a 'lock and key' model where little movement of the side chains occurs during binding as might be expected for a rigid structure like the steroid nucleus. 相似文献

Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) have been extensively recognized as key determinants of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of various drugs, xenobiotics and toxins. Putative N-glycosylation sites located in the extracellular loops 2 and 5 is considered a common feature of all OATPs and some members have been demonstrated to be glycosylated proteins. However, experimental evidence is still lacking on how such a post-translational modification affect the transport activity of OATPs and which of the putative glycosylation sites are utilized in these transporter proteins. In the present study, we substituted asparagine residues that are possibly involved in N-glycosylation with glutamine residues and identified three glycosylation sites (Asn134, Asn503 and Asn516) within the structure of OATP1B1, an OATP member that is mainly expressed in the human liver. Our results showed that Asn134 and Asn516 are used for glycosylation under normal conditions; however, when Asn134 was mutagenized, an additional asparagine at position 503 is involved in the glycosylation process. Simultaneously replacement of all three asparagines with glutamines led to significantly reduced protein level as well as loss of transport activity. Further studies revealed that glycosylation affected stability of the transporter protein and the unglycosylated mutant was retained within endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Primary carnitine deficiency is caused by impaired activity of the Na+-dependent OCTN2 carnitine/organic cation transporter. Carnitine is essential for entry of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria and its deficiency impairs fatty acid oxidation. Most missense mutations identified in patients with primary carnitine deficiency affect putative transmembrane or intracellular domains of the transporter. Exceptions are the substitutions P46S and R83L located in an extracellular loop close to putative glycosylation sites (N57, N64, and N91) of OCTN2. P46S and R83L impaired glycosylation and maturation of OCTN2 transporters to the plasma membrane. We tested whether glycosylation was essential for the maturation of OCTN2 transporters to the plasma membrane. Substitution of each of the three asparagine (N) glycosylation sites with glutamine (Q) decreased carnitine transport. Substitution of two sites at a time caused a further decline in carnitine transport that was fully abolished when all three glycosylation sites were substituted by glutamine (N57Q/N64Q/N91Q). Kinetic analysis of carnitine and sodium-stimulated carnitine transport indicated that all substitutions decreased the Vmax for carnitine transport, but N64Q/N91Q also significantly increased the Km toward carnitine, indicating that these two substitutions affected regions of the transporter important for substrate recognition. Western blot analysis confirmed increased mobility of OCTN2 transporters with progressive substitutions of asparagines 57, 64 and/or 91 with glutamine. Confocal microscopy indicated that glutamine substitutions caused progressive retention of OCTN2 transporters in the cytoplasm, up to full retention (such as that observed with R83L) when all three glycosylation sites were substituted. Tunicamycin prevented OCTN2 glycosylation, but it did not impair maturation to the plasma membrane. These results indicate that OCTN2 is physiologically glycosylated and that the P46S and R83L substitutions impair this process. Glycosylation does not affect maturation of OCTN2 transporters to the plasma membrane, but the 3 asparagines that are normally glycosylated are located in a region important for substrate recognition and turnover rate. 相似文献

Statistical analysis of the protein environment of N-glycosylation sites: implications for occupancy, structure, and folding 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We recently reported statistical analysis of structural data on glycosidic linkages. Here we extend this analysis to the glycan-protein linkage, and the peptide primary, secondary, and tertiary structures around N-glycosylation sites. We surveyed 506 glycoproteins in the Protein Data Bank crystallographic database, giving 2592 glycosylation sequons (1683 occupied) and generated a database of 626 nonredundant sequons with 386 occupied. Deviations in the expected amino acid composition were seen around occupied asparagines, particularly an increased occurrence of aromatic residues before the asparagine and threonine at position +2. Glycosylation alters the asparagine side chain torsion angle distribution and reduces its flexibility. There is an elevated probability of finding glycosylation sites in which secondary structure changes. An 11-class taxonomy was developed to describe protein surface geometry around glycosylation sites. Thirty-three percent of the occupied sites are on exposed convex surfaces, 10% in deep recesses and 20% on the edge of grooves with the glycan filling the cleft. A surprisingly large number of glycosylated asparagine residues have a low accessibility. The incidence of aromatic amino acids brought into close contact with the glycan by the folding process is higher than their normal levels on the surface or in the protein core. These data have significant implications for control of sequon occupancy and evolutionary selection of glycosylation sites and are discussed in relation to mechanisms of protein fold stabilization and regional quality control of protein folding. Hydrophobic protein-glycan interactions and the low accessibility of glycosylation sites in folded proteins are common features and may be critical in mediating these functions. 相似文献

N-glycosylation influences the latency and catalytic properties of mammalian purple acid phosphatase
Purple acid phosphatase (PAP), also known as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase or uteroferrin, contains two potential consensus N-glycosylation sites at Asn(97) and Asn(128). In this study, endogenous rat bone PAP was found to possess similar N-glycan structures as rat recombinant PAP heterologously expressed in baculovirus-infected Sf9 insect cells. PAP from Sf9 cells was shown to contain two N-linked oligosaccharides, whereas PAP expressed by mammalian CHO-K1 cells was less extensively glycosylated. The extent of N-glycosylation affected the catalytic properties of the enzyme, as N97Q and N128Q mutants, containing a single oligosaccharide chain, exhibited a lower substrate affinity and catalytic activity compared to those of the fully glycosylated PAP in the native, monomeric state. The differences in substrate affinity and catalytic activity were abolished and partially restored, respectively, by proteolytic cleavage in the loop domain, indicating that the extent of N-glycosylation influences the interaction of the repressive loop domain with catalytically important residues. 相似文献

The ligand-binding conformation of Mr 46,000 mannose 6-phosphate-specific receptor. Acquisition of binding activity during in vitro synthesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Purified Mr 46,000 mannose 6-phosphate-specific receptor (MPR 46) lost its ligand-binding activity after reductive alkylation and after enzymatic deglycosylation. Deglycosylated MPR 46 did not assemble to homodimers. Therefore, we investigated the role of N-glycosylation, intrasubunit disulfide bonds, and subunit assembly for the acquisition of ligand-binding activity during in vitro synthesis of MPR 46. Up to 21% of MPR 46 synthesized in a reticulocyte lysate supplemented with dog pancreas microsomes acquired ligand-binding activity provided that 1-5 mM glutathione was present during translation and during a chase following translation. Acquisition of ligand-binding activity after cotranslational membrane insertion and core glycosylation depended on formation of intrasubunit disulfide bonds and a conformational change. Formation of intrasubunit disulfide bonds was not sufficient for ligand-binding activity and is likely to precede the conformational change, which resulted in increased resistance toward trypsin, formation of highly antigenic epitopes, and association to dimers, concomitant with the acquisition of ligand-binding activity. 相似文献

New oligosaccharyltransferase assay method 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We developed a new in vitro assay for oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), which catalyzes the transfer of preassembled oligosaccharides on lipid carriers onto asparagine residues in polypeptide chains. The asparagine residues reside in the sequon, Asn-X-Thr/Ser, where X can be any amino acid residue except Pro. We demonstrate the potency of our assay using the OST from yeast. In our method, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is used to separate the glycopeptide products from the peptide substrates. The substrate peptide is fluorescently labeled and the formation of glycopeptides is analyzed by fluorescence gel imaging. Two in vitro OST assay methods are now widely used, but both the methods depend on previous knowledge of the oligosaccharide moiety: One method uses lectin binding as the separation mechanism and the other method uses biosynthetically or chemoenzymatically synthesized lipid-linked oligosaccharides as donors. N-linked protein glycosylation is found in all three domains of life, but little is known about the N-glycosylation in Archaea. Thus, our new assay, which does not require a priori knowledge of the oligosaccharides, will be useful in such cases. Indeed, we have detected the OST activity in the membrane fraction from a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Pyrococcus furiosus. 相似文献

Erythropoietin (EPO) derived from Escherichia coli is unstable to elevated temperature and tends to aggregate with time, making it unsuitable for high-resolution structure analysis. The mammalian EPO contains about 40% carbohydrate, which makes this protein more stable and less prone to aggregate than non-glycosylated E.coli-derived EPO, but makes it unsuitable for high-resolution analysis owing to its size and flexibility. In an attempt to decrease the aggregation of E.coli-derived EPO, the three asparagine residues at positions 24, 38 and 83 were mutated to lysine residues. In the native protein, these residues are the sites of N-linked glycosylation, which suggests that they should be located on the surface of the protein and should not be involved in interactions in the hydrophobic protein core. Therefore, the substitution of basic amino acids for these neutral asparagine residues is not expected to affect the protein structure, but should increase the isoelectric point of the protein and its net positive charge, decreasing its tendency to aggregate at or below neutral pH due to electrostatic interactions. No apparent alterations in receptor binding, as determined by both cell-surface receptor competition assay and in vitro receptor dimerization experiments, were observed when these mutations were introduced into the EPO sequence. However, this mutant protein displayed a significant increase in stability to heat treatment and to storage, relative to the wild-type molecule. This resulted in a greater number of observable cross peaks in the mutant EPO in 2D NOESY experiments. However, the mutant was similar to the wild-type in stability when urea was used as a denaturant. This indicates that the introduced mutations resulted in a decrease in aggregation with heating or with prolonged incubation at ambient temperature, without changing the conformational stability or the receptor binding affinity of the mutant protein. This approach of placing charged residues at sites where N-glycosylation occurs in vivo could be applied to other systems as well. 相似文献

BHK and mouse L cells transfected with the cDNA for the human 46 kd mannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR 46) secrete excessive amounts of newly synthesized mannose 6-phosphate containing polypeptides. The secretion is dependent on the amount, the recycling and the affinity for ligands of MPR 46. Incubation of transfected cells with antibodies blocking the binding site of MPR 46 reduces the secretion, and cotransfection with the cDNA for the human 300 kd mannose 6-phosphate (MPR 300) restores it to normal values. These results indicate that the two mannose 6-phosphate receptors compete for binding of newly synthesized ligands. In contrast to ligands bound to MPR 300, those bound to the MPR 46 are transported to and released at a site, e.g. early endosomes or plasma membrane, from where they can exit into the medium. Since antibodies blocking the binding site of MPR 46 reduce secretion also in non-transfected BHK and mouse L cells, at least part of the basal secretion of M6P-containing polypeptides is mediated by the endogenous MPR 46. 相似文献

A steady-state kinetic mechanism describing the interaction of M(2) muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and the guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(i)alpha(2)beta(1)gamma(3) are presented. Data are consistent with two parallel pathways of agonist-promoted GTPase activity arising from receptor coupled to a single or multiple guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. An aspartate 103 to asparagine receptor mutation resulted in a receptor lacking the ability to catalyze the binding of guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) or guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis by the G protein. An aspartate 69 to asparagine receptor mutant was able to catalyze agonist-specific guanine nucleotide exchange and GTPase activity. A threonine 187 to alanine receptor mutation resulted in a receptor that catalyzed guanine nucleotide exchange comparable with wild-type receptors but had reduced ability to stimulate GTP hydrolysis. A tyrosine 403 to phenylalanine receptor mutation resulted in an increase in agonist-promoted GTPAse activity compared with wild type. The observation that the threonine 187 and tyrosine 403 mutants promote guanine nucleotide exchange similarly to wild type but alter GTPase activity compared with wild type suggests that the effects of the mutations arise downstream from guanine nucleotide exchange and may result from changes in receptor-G protein dissociation. 相似文献

The Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO), 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase (HAPMO), uses NADPH and O(2) to oxidize a variety of aromatic ketones and sulfides. The FAD-containing enzyme has a 700-fold preference for NADPH over NADH. Sequence alignment with other BVMOs, which are all known to be selective for NADPH, revealed three conserved basic residues, which could account for the observed coenzyme specificity. The corresponding residues in HAPMO (Arg339, Lys439 and Arg440) were mutated and the properties of the purified mutant enzymes were studied. For Arg440 no involvement in coenzyme recognition could be shown as mutant R440A was totally inactive. Although this mutant could still be fully reduced by NADPH, no oxygenation occurred, indicating that this residue is crucial for completing the catalytic cycle of HAPMO. Characterization of several Arg339 and Lys439 mutants revealed that these residues are indeed both involved in coenzyme recognition. Mutant R339A showed a largely decreased affinity for NADPH, as judged from kinetic analysis and binding experiments. Replacing Arg339 also resulted in a decreased catalytic efficiency with NADH. Mutant K439A displayed a 100-fold decrease in catalytic efficiency with NADPH, mainly caused by an increased K(m). However, the efficiency with NADH increased fourfold. Saturation mutagenesis at position 439 showed that the presence of an asparagine or a phenylalanine improves the catalytic efficiency with NADH by a factor of 6 to 7. All Lys439 mutants displayed a lower affinity for AADP(+), confirming a role of the lysine in recognizing the 2'-phosphate of NADPH. The results obtained could be extrapolated to the sequence-related cyclohexanone monooxygenase. Replacing Lys326 in this BVMO, which is analogous to Lys439 in HAPMO, again changed the coenzyme specificity towards NADH. These results indicate that the strict NADPH dependency of this class of monooxygenases is based upon recognition of the coenzyme by several basic residues. 相似文献
