Spatial proximity of a tyrosyl and a lysyl residue in the active site region of yeast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase. 1979

C Roustan, and A Fattoum, and L A Pradel

The effect of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzofurazan on yeast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase causes a modification of one tyrosyl residue concomitantly with a total loss of activity of the enzyme. The modification is not accompanied by any significant conformational change. A total protection against inactivation is observed with the substrates : furthermore, AMP, tripolyphosphate and pyrophosphate afford an effective protection. At pH 9, a shift in the absorbance spectrum of the tyrosine O-nitrobenzofurazan derivative of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase is observed. It can be related to the transfer of the reagent from tyrosine to lysine. The N-nitrobenzofurazan derivative is also completely inactive. It is concluded that a lysine residue is located close to the essential tyrosyl residue.
