Lac repressor headpiece (HP) and intact lac repressor have been studied using the photo-CIDNP method. At neutral pH histidine 29, tyrosines 7, 12 and 17 and methionine 1 are polarised. His-29 polarizations are weaker and broader in HP59 than in HP51 indicating that the C-terminal octapeptide in HP59 adopts a conformation that allows an interaction with His-29. The photo-CIDNP spectra of intact lac repressor and HP51 are very similar, showing that the same residues are accessible to the photo-excited flavin. An equimolar mixture of HP51 and a 14 base pair lac operator fragment strongly suppresses the photo-CIDNP effect of tyrosines 7 and 17 and abolishes the His-29 polarizations. The results are compared with earlier photo-CIDNP measurements on a complex of headpiece with poly[d(AT)] and with a model derived from a 2D NMR study on a lac headpiece-operator complex.
