The active site regions of lacZ and ebg beta-galactosidases are homologous
Authors:A V Fowler  P J Smith
Abstract:The active site-directed inhibitor 4-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranosylmethyltriazene, previously shown (Fowler, A. V., Zabin, I., Sinnott, M. L., and Smith, P. J. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 5283-5285) to alkylate methionine 502 in lacZ beta-galactosidase, was used to label the second naturally occurring beta-galactosidase of Escherichia coli (ebgo). The reagent was also used to label two mutant forms of the enzyme (ebga and ebgb) selected for enhanced lactase activity. In the case of ebgo and ebga, 75 and 85% of the label, respectively, was incorporated into a tryptic peptide which is homologous (38% identity) to residues 483-503 of the lacZ beta-galactosidase sequence. In the ebgo and ebga enzymes, a serine probably is alkylated. In the case of the ebgb enzyme, 61% of the label is found on a tryptic peptide homologous (69% identity) with residues 457-468 of the lacZ beta-galactosidase. In this peptide, a glutamic acid and a tyrosine residue are both alkylated.
