N-glycohydrolysis of adenosine diphosphoribosyl arginine linkages by dinitrogenase reductase activating glycohydrolase (activating enzyme) from Rhodospirillum rubrum. 1986

M R Pope, and L L Saari, and P W Ludden

The reaction catalyzed by the activating enzyme for dinitrogenase reductase from Rhodospirillum rubrum has been studied using an ADP-ribosyl hexapeptide, obtained from proteolysis of inactive dinitrogenase reductase, and synthetic analogs such as N alpha-dansyl-N omega-ADP-ribosylarginine methyl ester. The activating enzyme catalyzed N-glycohydrolysis of the ribosyl-guanidinium linkage releasing ADP-ribose and regenerating an unmodified arginyl guanidinium group. Optimal glycohydrolysis of the low molecular weight substrates occurred at pH 6.6 and required 1 mM MnCl2, but did not require ATP. The ADP-ribosyl hexapeptide (Km 11 microM), N alpha-dansyl-N omega-ADP-ribosylarginine methyl ester (Km 12 microM), N alpha-dansyl-N omega-ADP-ribosylarginine (Km 12 microM), N alpha-dansyl-N omega-1,N6-etheno-ADP-ribosylarginine methyl ester (Km 11 microM), and N alpha-dansyl-N omega-GDP-ribosylarginine methyl ester (Km 11 microM) were comparable substrates. N omega-ADP-ribosylarginine (Km 2 mM) was a poor substrate, and the activating enzyme did not catalyze N-glycohydrolysis of N alpha-dansyl-N omega-5'-phosphoribosylarginine methyl ester or N alpha-dansyl-N omega-ribosylarginine methyl ester. 13C NMR of N alpha-tosyl-N omega-ADP-ribosylarginine methyl ester established that the activating enzyme specifically hydrolyzed the alpha-ribosyl-guanidinium linkage. The beta-linked anomer was hydrolyzed only after anomerization to the alpha configuration. We recommend [arginine(N omega-ADP-alpha-ribose)]dinitrogenase reductase N-glycohydrolase (dinitrogenase reductase activating) and dinitrogenase reductase activating glycohydrolase as the systematic and working names for the activating enzyme.
