Abstract:Described herein are proton nmr experiments on chemically modified derivatives of ribonuclease A designed to elucidate the origin of an exchangeable resonance, assigned previously to a histidine ring N proton that titrates between 11 to 13 ppm with a pKa of 6.1 in H2O solution. Histidines 48 and 105, which are distant from the active site, are eliminated as candidates for this resonance from inhibitor binding studies on the enzyme in acetate–water solutions. This exchangeable resonance titrates with modified pKa's and constant area over the above pH range in His-119-N1-carboxymethylated-RNase A and des-(121–124)-RNase A, thus eliminating the imidazole N3 proton in the His 119-Asp 121 hydrogen bond. In His-12-N1-carboxymethylated-RNase A, this resonance is also observable, but broadens on raising the pH above 7 and at elevated temperatures above neutrality. It exhibits a pH-independent chemical shift characteristic of the protonated state of histidine. On the basis of these findings, this exchangeable resonance, designated a, is assigned to the imidazole N1 proton of His 12, which is hydrogen-bonded to the carbonyl oxygen of Thr 45 in the crystal.
