Evidence that mutations in a loop region of the alpha-subunit inhibit the transition from an open to a closed conformation in the tryptophan synthase bienzyme complex

Rapid-scanning stopped-flow (RSSF) UV-visible spectroscopy has been used to investigate the effects of single amino acid mutations in the alpha-subunit of the Salmonella typhimurium tryptophan synthase bienzyme complex on the reactivity at the beta-subunit active site located 25 to 30 A distant.

description Rapid-scanning stopped-flow (RSSF) UV-visible spectroscopy has been used to investigate the effects of single amino acid mutations in the alpha-subunit of the Salmonella typhimurium tryptophan synthase bienzyme complex on the reactivity at the beta-subunit active site located 25 to 30 A distant. The pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) cofactor provides a convenient spectroscopic probe to directly monitor catalytic events at the beta-active site. Single substitutions of Phe for Glu at position 49, Leu for Gly at position 51, or Tyr for Asp at position 60 in the alpha-subunit strongly alter the observed steady state and pre-steady state inhibitory effects of the alpha-subunit-specific ligand alpha-glycerophosphate (GP) on the PLP-dependent beta-reaction. However, similar GP-induced allosteric effects on the distribution of covalent intermediates bound at the beta-site that are observed with the wild-type enzyme (Houben, K.F., and Dunn, M.F. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 2421-2429) also are observed for each of the mutant bienzyme complexes. These results support the hypothesis that the preferred pathway of indole from solution into the beta-site is via the alpha-site and the interconnecting tunnel (Dunn, M.F., Aguilar, V., Brzović, P., Drewe, W.F., Houben, K.F., Leja, C.A., and Roy, M. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 8598-8607). Residues alpha E49, alpha G51, and alpha D60 are part of a highly conserved inserted sequence in the alpha/beta-barrel topology of the alpha-subunit. We propose that the GP-induced inhibition of the beta-reaction results, in part, from a ligand-dependent conformational change from an "open" to a "closed" structure of the alpha-subunit which involves this region of the alpha-subunit and serves to obstruct the direct access of indole into the tunnel. Our findings suggest that the altered kinetic behavior observed for the alpha-mutants in the presence of GP reflects an impaired ability of the modified bienzyme complex to undergo the conformational transition from the open to the closed form.
