An essential tryptophan residue for rabbit muscle creatine kinase

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.

The role of zinc with special reference to the essential thiol groups in delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase of bovine liver.

delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (5-aminolevulinic acid hydro-lyase (adding 5-aminolevulinic acid and cyclizing), EC 4.2.1.24 purified from bovine liver in the presence of both SH-reducing reagent and zinc during the purification contained one zinc atom and eight SH groups/subunit. This preparation showed the full enzymatic activity even in the absence of thiol activator. It was found that two cysteine residues, one zinc atom and two histidine residues were involved in the active site. The enzyme was fullly active as long as two SH groups in the active site remained in the reduced form even in the absence of zinc. However, the enzymatic activity was completely lost, with a concomitant loss of bound zinc, upon oxidation of the SH groups to a disulfide bond, modification of SH groups with chemical reagents, or mercaptide formation by heavy metals. Thus, it is apparent that the activity depends on the essential SH groups. The zinc is not absolutely essential for the activity but may be required to prevent the essential SH groups from autooxidation by coordination. Binding experiments indicated that there was one binding site of zinc/subunit. Photooxidation of histidine residues diminished both enzymatic activity and bound zinc, suggesting that the histidine residues not only constituted the active site but also served as a possible ligand to zinc.     

Effect of cysteine residues on the activity of arginyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli.

Arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) from Escherichia coli (E. coli) contains four cysteine residues. In this study, the role of cysteine residues in the enzyme has been investigated by chemical modification and site-directed mutagenesis. Titration of sulfhydryl groups in ArgRS by 5, 5'-dithiobis(2-nitro benzoic acid) (DTNB) suggested that a disulfide bond was not formed in the enzyme and that, in the native condition, two DTNB-sensitive cysteine residues were located on the surface of ArgRS, while the other two were buried inside. Chemical modification of the native enzyme by iodoacetamide (IAA) affected only one DTNB-sensitive cysteine residue and resulted in 50% loss of enzyme activity, while modification by N-ethylmeimide (NEM) affected two DTNB-sensitive residues and caused a complete loss of activity. These results, when combined with substrate protection experiments, suggested that at least the two cysteine residues located on the surface of the molecule were directly involved in substrates binding and catalysis. However, changing Cys to Ala only resulted in slight loss of enzymatic activity and substrate binding, suggesting that these four cysteine residues in E. coli ArgRS were not essential to the enzymatic activity. Moreover, modifications of the mutant enzymes indicated that the two DTNB- and NEM-sensitive residues were Cys(320) and Cys(537) and the IAA-sensitive was Cys(320). Our study suggested that inactivation of E. coli ArgRS by sulfhydryl reagents is a result of steric hindrance in the enzyme.
