Novel tryptophan substitutions, surrounding the nucleotide bound in catalytic sites, were introduced into Escherichia coli F1-ATPase. The mutant enzymes were purified and studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. One cluster of Trp substitutions, consisting of beta-Trp-404, beta-Trp-410, beta-Asp-158 (lining the adenine-binding pocket), and beta-Trp-153 (close to the alpha/beta-phosphates), showed the same fluorescence responses to MgADP, MgAMPPNP, and MgATP and the same nucleotide binding pattern with MgADP and MgAMPPNP, with one site of higher and two sites of lower affinity. Therefore, in absence of catalytic turnover (and of gamma-subunit rotation), sites 2 and 3 appeared similar in affinity, and the region of the catalytic site sensed by these Trp substitutions did not change conformation with different nucleotides. In contrast, alpha-Trp-291 and beta-Trp-297, both close to the gamma-phosphate, showed very different fluorescence responses to MgADP versus MgAMPPNP, and in these cases the response was due exclusively or predominantly to nucleotide binding at the first, high-affinity catalytic site, thus allowing specific detection of this site. Titration with MgATP showed that the high-affinity site was present under conditions of steady-state, Vmax MgATP hydrolysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
