Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase of Escherichia coli K-12. N- and C-terminal sequences and tentative assignment of the catalytically essential cysteine residue
Authors:S Ishijima  K Izui  H Katsuki
Abstract:The N- and C-terminal amino acid sequences of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase EC 4.1.1.31] from Escherichia coli K-12 were determined to establish the primary structure deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the cloned gene for the enzyme (Fujita, N., Miwa, T., Ishijima, S., Izui, K., & Katsuki, H. (1984) J. Biochem. 95, 909-916). As predicted from the nucleotide sequence, two polypeptides were produced upon treatment with hydroxylamine, which specifically cleaves the Asn-Gly bond, and their amino acid compositions were also in accordance with those predicted. The tryptic peptides which contained cysteine residues labeled with a fluorescent reagent, N-7-(dimethylamino)-4-methylcoumarinyl]maleimide, were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and partially sequenced. All of them could be assigned on the deduced primary structure. The modified cysteine residues were Cys-157, Cys-385, Cys-458, Cys-568, Cys-665, and Cys-754. Furthermore, the essential cysteine residue which is presumably located at or near the active site was tentatively identified as Cys-568, since it was consistently protected against the modification by 2-phospholactate, a substrate analog.
