Affinity labeling of the inhibitory DPNH site of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase by 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine. 1975

P K Pal, and W J Wechter, and R F Colman

A new adenosine analogue has been synthesized, 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine, which reacts covalently with bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase with the incorporation of approximately 1 mol of 5'-sulfonylbenzoyl adenosine per peptide chain. Native glutamate dehydrogenase is known to be inhibited by relatively high concentrations of DPNH by binding to a second noncatalytic site; the major change in the kinetic characteristics of the modified enzyme is a total loss of this inhibition by DPNH. The modified enzyme retains full catalytic activity as measured in the absence of allosteric ligands, is still inhibited more than 90% by GTP, and is activated normally by ADP. These results demonstrate that the catalytic as well as the GTP and ADP regulatory sites are distinct from the inhibitory DPNH site. The rate constant for reaction of 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine is decreased by high concentrations of DPNH alone or by DPNH plus GTP, but not by the substrate alpha-ketoglutarate, the coenzymes DPN or TPNH, or the regulators ADP or GTP alone. These observations are consistent with the postulate that the 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine attacks exclusively the second inhibitory DPNH site. The DPNH inhibition is abolished when an average of only 0.5 mol of 5'-sulfonylbenzoyl adenosine per peptide chain has been incorporated. The structure of 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine is critical in determining the course of the modification reaction. The smaller compound p-fluorosulfonylbenzoic acid does not affect the kinetic characteristics of the enzyme, and the isomeric compound 3'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine produces a different pattern of changes in the regulatory properties (Pal. P. K., Wechter, W. J., and Colman, R. F. (1975) Biochemistry 14, 707-715). Indeed, enzyme which has combined stoichiometrically with 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine is still able to react with 3'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine; thus, the two adenosine analogues appear to react at distinct sites on glutamate dehydrogenase. It is proposed that 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine will be complementary to 3'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine as a general affinity label for dehydrogenases as well as other classes of enzymes which use adenine nucleotides as substrates or regulators.
