Substrate binding to phosphoglycerate kinase monitored by 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate. 1982

E Wiksell, and M Larsson-Raźnikiewicz

The interaction between 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) and yeast phosphoglycerate kinase (ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.2.3) and the use of ANS as a probe for studying the structure and function of phosphoglycerate kinase has been investigated. The interaction has been studied by kinetic methods, equilibrium dialysis, and fluorometric titrations. ANS inhibits the activity of the enzyme. More than one inhibitor site exists. ANS is competitive with MgATP and noncompetitive with 3-phosphoglycerate at the first detected inhibitor binding site. The Ki value is 1-2 mM. Several ANS molecules bind to the enzyme. By fluorometric titrations the first detected site has a dissociation constant that is in the same range as Ki or bigger. When ANS interacts with phosphoglycerate kinase its fluorescence is increased and a blue shift occurs. ANS appears to bind to a strongly hydrophobic site. The fluorescence is sensitive to the addition of substrates. ADP, ATP, or combinations of Mg2+ and nucleotide decreases the fluorescence as does free Mg2+. 3-Phosphoglycerate, on the other hand, increases the fluorescence giving evidence for conformational changes upon 3-phosphoglycerate binding.
