The lysine reagent pyridoxal 5-phosphate was applied to the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) in order to elucidate topological and functional properties of the numerous lysines within the primary structure. To establish appropriate labeling conditions, the influence of pyridoxal-P on transport and inhibitor binding to the AAC was examined. The ADP/ATP transport is sensitive to low concentrations of pyridoxal-P with a Ki = 0.4 mM. Binding of [3H]carboxyatracylate and [3H]bongkrekate is largely inhibited by pyridoxal-P treatment with Ki approximately 1 mM. [3H]Carboxyatractylate is not and [3H]bongkrekate weakly removed by pyridoxal-P, whereas [3H]atractylate is displaced to a large extent. Under optimized conditions of pyridoxal-P concentration, of pH and of time exposure, the AAC was exposed to [3H]pyridoxal-P in mitochondria, in submitochondrial particles and in the detergent-solubilized carrier. The [3H]pyridoxal-P-labeled AAC was isolated from mitochondria and particles. After citraconylation thermolysinolytic peptides were prepared. The pyridoxyl-lysine-containing peptides were purified and the pyridoxal-P incorporation to specific lysines was determined by sequencing. The pyridoxal-P incorporation into the AAC in various states was evaluated with regard to structural and functional aspects. First, by comparing pyridoxal-P incorporation in mitochondria and sonic particles, the segments of the polypeptide chain exposed to the cytosolic and matrix side of the membrane are detected. Second, the additional lysine incorporation into the isolated as compared to the membrane-bound carrier is attributed to the protein collar facing the phospholipid headgroups. Third, the difference between lysine incorporation into the carboxyatractylate-AAC and bongkrekate-AAC complexes reflect either conformational changes or lysines involved in the translocation channel through the protein. Fourth, the additional lysine labeled in the atractylate-carrier complex as compared to the carboxyatractylate-carrier complex is attributed to a cationic site in the binding center. These results are incorporated into a transmembrane folding model of the carrier.

Glyoxalase I ((R)-S-lactoylglutathione methylglyoxal-lyase (isomerizing), EC 4.4.1.5) from monkey intestinal mucosa was purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 48,000, composed of two apparently identical subunits. Active-site modification was carried out on the purified enzyme in presence and absence of S-hexylglutathione, a reversible competitive inhibitor of glyoxalase I. Modification by tetranitromethane and N-acetylimidazole caused inactivation of the enzyme. Inactivation by N-acetylimidazole was reversible with hydroxylamine treatment, suggesting the importance of tyrosine residues for the activity of the enzyme. The enzyme was inactivated by 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide, N-bromosuccinimide, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid, pyridoxal phosphate and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide, indicating the importance of tryptophan, lysine and glutamic acid/aspartic acid residues for the activity of the enzyme. The enzyme was inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate and the activity was not restored by hydroxylamine treatment, suggesting that histidine residues may not be important for activity. Modification by N-ethylmaleimide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate did not affect its activity, indicating that sulphydryl groups may not be important for activity. These studies indicated that the amino acids present in the active site of glyoxalase I from intestinal mucosa which may be important for activity are tyrosine, tryptophan, lysine and glutamic acid/aspartic acid residues.

Conditions for reductive methylation of amine groups in proteins using formaldehyde and cyanoborohydride can be chosen to modify selectively the active site lysyl residue of aspartate aminotransferase among the 19 lysyl residues in each subunit of this protein. Apoenzyme must be treated, under mildly acidic conditions (pH = 6), at a relatively low molar ratio of formaldehyde to protein (40:1); and, upon reduction with sodium cyanoborohydride, 85% of the formaldehyde is incorporated at Lysine 258 and 15% at the amino-terminal alanyl residue. The modified protein, characterized after tryptic hydrolysis, separation of the peptides by high performance liquid chromatography procedures and subsequent amino acid analysis, shows that lysine 258 is preferentially modified as a dimethylated derivative. Modified apoenzyme can accept and tightly bind added coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate, as measured by circular dichroism procedures. The methylated enzyme is essentially catalytically inactive when measured by standard enzymatic assays. On the other hand, addition of the substrate, glutamate, produces the characteristic absorption spectral shifts for conversion of the active site-bound pyridoxal form of the coenzyme (absorbance at 400 nm) to its pyridoxamine form (absorbance at 330 nm). Such a half-transamination-like process occurs as in native enzyme, albeit at several orders of magnitude lower rate. This event takes place even though the characteristic internal holoenzyme Schiff's base between Lys-258 and aldehyde of bound pyridoxal phosphate does not exist in methylated, reconstituted holoenzyme. It is concluded that this chemically transformed enzyme can undergo a half-transamination reaction with conversion of active site-bound coenzyme from a pyridoxal to a pyridoxamine form, even when overall catalytic turnover transamination cannot be detected.

Rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase was inhibited by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and irreversibly inactivated after sodium borohydride reduction of the enzyme-pyridoxal-P complex. The irreversible inactivation by pyridoxal-P was opposed by the presence of the substrate UDP-glucose. With [3H]pyridoxal-P, covalent incorporation of 3H label into the enzyme could be monitored. UDP-glucose protected against 3H incorporation, whereas glucose-6-P was ineffective. Peptide mapping of tryptic digests indicated that two distinct peptides were specifically modified by pyridoxal-P. One of these peptides contained the NH2-terminal sequence of the glycogen synthase subunit. Chymotrypsin cleavage of this peptide resulted in a single-labeled fragment with the sequence: Glu-Val-Ala-Asn-(Pyridoxal-P-Lys)-Val-Gly-Gly-Ile-Tyr. This sequence is identical to that previously reported (Tagaya, M., Nakano, K., and Fukui, T. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260. 6670-6676) for a peptide specifically modified by a substrate analogue and inferred to form part of the active site of the enzyme. Sequence analysis revealed that the modified lysine was located at residue 38 from the NH2 terminus of the rabbit muscle glycogen synthase subunit. An analogous tryptic peptide obtained from the rabbit liver isozyme displayed a high degree of sequence homology in the vicinity of the modified lysine. We propose that the extreme NH2 terminus of the glycogen synthase subunit forms part of the catalytic site, in close proximity to one of the phosphorylated regions of the enzyme (site 2, serine 7). In addition, the work extends the known NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of both the liver and muscle glycogen synthase isozymes.

A series of compounds related to bis-pyridoxal phosphate has been synthesized and used to crosslink deoxyhemoglobin. The yield of crosslinked hemoglobin increased dramatically from about 15% for the di- or triphosphate to about 70% for the tetraphosphate. The site of attachment of the intramolecular crossbridge was found to be from the N-terminal amino group of one beta chain to lysine 82 of the other. Since the distance between these residues is only 11A, the bis-pyridoxal tetraphosphates probably have a "stacked" conformation. The crosslinked hemoglobins bind oxygen cooperatively but with a greatly decreased affinity. The increased ability to unload oxygen together with the stabilization of the tetramer qualifies them as promising cell-free blood substitutes.

It is found that approximately 65-70% of pyridoxal-P at physiological concentrations is bound to plasma proteins; 15% of its amount is bound to amino acids and peptides as a result of the Schiff base formation. Over 85% of pyridoxal-P associated with plasma proteins is bound to serum albumin. Inorganic phosphate and NaCl decrease the affinity of pyridoxal-P for albumin or other proteins. Acetaldehyde interacts with the alpha-amino group of the aspartic acid residue of the N-end of the polypeptide chain of the albumin molecule and with two epsilon-amino groups of the lysine residues having anomalously low value of pKa and deprotonated at physiological values of pH of the medium. Acetaldehyde competes with pyridoxal-P for the first (of the highest affinity) binding site of the coenzyme on serum albumin. Acetaldehyde is not bound at the second site of high affinity for pyridoxal-P on serum albumin.

Modification of glutamate dehydrogenase with 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride at pH 8.0 results in the progressive loss of enzymatic activity and a concomitant increase in the negative charge of the protein. Although the rate of inactivation at room temperature is too rapid to allow accurate rate constant determination, modification at 4 degrees C shows that the pseudo-first-order rate constant for inactivation appears to show a saturation effect with increasing reagent concentration, with a maximum of approximately 1 min-1. Control experiments showed that tetrahydrophthalic anhydride was hydrolyzed at a much slower rate, with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.041 min-1. Protection studies indicated that inactivation was decreased by the active site ligands, NADP and 2-oxoglutarate. The extents of inactivation, whether assayed with glutamate at pH 7.0 or norvaline at pH 8.0, were the same. Changes in mobility on native gels and isoelectric point were used to follow the incorporated negative charge resulting from modification. Enzyme modified in the presence of protecting ligands (where activity is maintained) showed mobility changes which suggested that a single site of modification was protected. Modified enzyme incorporated 0.78 mol pyridoxal 5-phosphate less than native enzyme, consistent with modification of lysine-126. Enzyme modified under limiting conditions was shown to have a quaternary structure similar to that of the native enzyme, as judged by crosslinking patterns obtained with dimethylpimelimidate. The modified protein is readily resolved from unmodified protein using an NaCl double gradient elution from DEAE-Sephacel. The modification is reversed with regain of activity by incubation of the modified enzyme at low pH. We have made use of the recently demonstrated ability of guanidine hydrochloride to dissociate the hexamer of glutamate dehydrogenase into trimers that can then be reassociated to construct heterohexamers of glutamate dehydrogenase, in which one trimer of the heterohexamer contains native subunits while the other has been inactivated by the 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride modification. The heterohexamer is separated from either native or fully modified hexamers by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. Significantly, the heterohexamer has little detectable catalytic activity, although activity is regained by reversal of the modification of the one modified trimer in the hexamer. This demonstrates that catalytic site cooperation between trimers in the hexamer of glutamate dehydrogenase is an essential component of the enzymatic activity of this enzyme.

Treatment of 1 microM wheat-germ aspartate transcarbamoylase with 1 mM-pyridoxal 5'-phosphate caused a rapid loss of activity, concomitant with the formation of a Schiff base. Complete loss of activity occurred within 10 min when the Schiff base was reduced with a 100-fold excess of NaBH4. Concomitantly, one amino group per chain was modified. No further residues were modified in the ensuing 30 min. The kinetics of inactivation were examined under conditions where the Schiff base was reduced before assay. Inactivation was apparently first-order. The pseudo-first-order rate constant, kapp., showed a hyperbolic dependence upon the concentration of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, suggesting that the enzyme first formed a non-covalent complex with the reagent, modification of a lysine then proceeding within this complex. Inactivation of the enzyme by pyridoxal was 20 times slower than that by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, indicating that the phosphate group was important in forming the initial complex. Partial protection against pyridoxal phosphate was provided by the leading substrate, carbamoyl phosphate, and nearly complete protection was provided by the bisubstrate analogue, N-phosphonoacetyl-L-aspartate, and the ligand-pair carbamoyl phosphate plus succinate. Steady-state kinetic studies, under conditions that minimized inactivation, showed that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate was also a competitive inhibitor with respect to the leading substrate, carbamoyl phosphate. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate therefore appears to be an active-site-directed reagent. A sample of the enzyme containing one reduced pyridoxyl group per chain was digested with trypsin, and the labelled peptide was isolated and shown to contain a single pyridoxyl-lysine residue. Partial sequencing around the labelled lysine showed little homology with the sequence surrounding lysine-84, an active-centre residue of the catalytic subunit of aspartate transcarbamoylase from Escherichia coli, whose reaction with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate shows many similarities to the results described in the present paper. Arguably the reactive lysine is conserved between the two enzymes whereas the residues immediately surrounding the lysine are not. The same conclusion has been drawn in a comparison of reactive histidine residues in the two enzymes [Cole & Yon (1986) Biochemistry 25, 7168-7174].

The 987-base-pair coding region of the tdc gene of Escherichia coli K-12 encoding biodegradative threonine dehydratase [Tdc; L-threonine hydro-lyase (deaminating), EC 4.2.1.16], previously cloned in this laboratory, was sequenced. The deduced polypeptide consists of 329 amino acid residues with a calculated Mr of 35,238. Although the purified enzyme was shown to contain tryptophan, no tryptophan codon was found in the tdc reading frame. Incubation of purified Tdc with [14C]tryptophan revealed apparent "covalent" binding of tryptophan, indicating posttranslational modification of the enzyme. A heptapeptide, 54Thr-55Gly-56Ser-57Phe-58Lys-59Ile- 60Arg, was found to contain Lys-58, which binds pyridoxal phosphate coenzyme. A comparison of amino acid sequences between the Tdc polypeptide and the biosynthetic threonine dehydratases of yeast (encoded by ILV1) and E. coli (encoded by ilvA) and the E. coli D-serine dehydratase (DsdA, encoded by dsdA) revealed various extents of homology: five domains of the Tdc polypeptide were 63-93% homologous with the yeast enzyme, and three of these same regions were 80% homologous with the biosynthetic E. coli dehydratase; two different domains showed 67% and 83% homology with DsdA. In addition, two other sequences were highly conserved in all four proteins, one of which was shown to contain the conserved lysine residue that binds pyridoxal phosphate in the Tdc and DsdA polypeptides. These observations suggest that, despite their diverse origin and metabolic significance, these enzymes may have evolved from a common ancestral protein.

The effect of several metals and reagents on the decarboxylation rate of uroporphyrinogen I by using a 16-fold purified preparation of Uroporphyrinogen Decarboxylase from Rhodopseudomonas palustris, was studied. 1 mM Hg2+ and Cu2+ were strong inhibitors, 1 mM Zn2+ and Fe2+ under certain conditions and 1 mM Fe3+ and Cr3+ also inactivated the enzyme, but Pb2+, Cd2+ and Al3+ did not. Metals inhibition was reversed by 1 mM GSH or CySH. 0.1 mM DTNB and PCMB, 1 mM pyridoxal phosphate and 100 mM chloral hydrate, as well as 1 mM 2-methoxy-5-nitrotropone and 0.2 mM diethylpyrocarbonate inhibited Uroporphyrinogen Decarboxylase; while GSH, CySH, N-ethylmaleimide, sodium thioglycolate, 1,4-dithioerythritol, EDTA and O-phenantroline did not modify activity. Data obtained would indicate that one cysteine, one or two histidine residues and probably a lysine group are required for enzyme activity.
