Site-directed mutagenesis at the regulatory site of fructose 6-phosphate-1-kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus

We have mutated Arg-25, Asp-59 and Arg-211 to alanine; and Asp-59 also to methionine, in fructose 6-phosphate-l-kinase from B. stearothermophilus (designated as RA25, DA59, RA211 and DM59 respectively). All four mutants did not change the affinity of the enzyme for ATP. RA25 has half the affinity fo...

Zusammenfassung:We have mutated Arg-25, Asp-59 and Arg-211 to alanine; and Asp-59 also to methionine, in fructose 6-phosphate-l-kinase from B. stearothermophilus (designated as RA25, DA59, RA211 and DM59 respectively). All four mutants did not change the affinity of the enzyme for ATP. RA25 has half the affinity for fructose 6-phosphate and exhibits sigmoidicity with respect to this substrate (Hill # = 2.0). DA59 has the same affinity for phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) as the wild type whereas DM59 has 3-fold the affinity for this modulator and the inhibition is reversed by GDP. RA25 and RA211 are 100-fold less sensitive to PEP inhibition which is not relieved by GDP. It is concluded that Arg-25 and Arg-211, but not Asp-59, are involved in the direct binding of PEP and GDP.
