A new family of asymmetric thiol-disulfide exchange reagents, the dinitrophenyl alkyl disulfides (DNPSSR), was used to modify rat liver phenylalanine hydroxylase. The results indicate that the enzyme has two different types of reactive sulfhydryl (SH) residues per subunit. One SH residue was modified selectively by a DNPSSR having a neutral and hydrophilic alkyl group, and this modification was accompanied by appreciable activation of enzyme; the other SH residue was modified only by an anionic DNPSSR, and this modification did not result in activation. The catalytic properties of phenylalanine hydroxylase activated by DNPSSR were similar to those of the N-ethylmaleimide- (NEM-) modified enzyme, but the process of activation by DNPSSR was quite different from modification with NEM. An analysis of the reaction kinetics of the modification and of catalysis by the modified enzyme suggests that DNPSSR modification causes a change in the subunit interaction leading to a loss of the negative cooperativity normally seen with phenylalanine hydroxylase.
