The adenine nucleotide analog [3H]pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (PLP-AMP) is a potent and highly specific inactivator of yeast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase. Supportive evidence includes the finding that 1) during a 10-min incubation, half-maximal inactivation is given by 10 microM PLP-AMP, 2) covalent incorporation of 1.2 mol of PLP-AMP/mol of enzyme is sufficient to give complete inactivation, and 3) MgATP gives near complete protection against modification and inactivation by PLP-AMP. Following reaction with PLP-AMP and reduction with NaBH4 to form a stable adduct, the enzyme was digested with endoproteinase Lys-C and peptides were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The single major labeled peptide was purified and sequenced, and the modified residue was identified as Lys-131. The crystal structure of enzyme in the open conformation shows Lys-131 to reside within a loop of flexible random coil positioned at the outer edge of the central binding cleft, approximately 2 nm from the surface of the cleft that comprises part of the MgATP-binding site (Watson, H. C., Walker, N. P. C., Shaw, P. J., Bryant, T. N., Wendell, P. L., Fothergill, L. A., Perkins, R. E., Conroy, S. C., Dobson, M. J., Tuite, M. F., Kingsman, A. J., and Kingsman, S. M. (1982) EMBO J. 1, 1635-1640). We conclude that the structural element containing Lys-131 undergoes substantial movement during the ligand-induced conformational change known to occur during formation of the ternary complex, resulting in the positioning of a basic residue near a negatively charged substrate. Since similar affinity-labeling results have been presented for hexokinase (Tamura, J. K., LaDine, J. R., and Cross, R. L. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 7907-7912), we further suggest that movement of positive charge into the central cleft may be a common step in the tight binding of nucleotides by bilobal kinases.

A new adenine nucleotide analog, [3H]pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (PLP-AMP), has been synthesized. The effectiveness of PLP-AMP as an affinity probe has been tested using a number of nucleotide-binding enzymes. In comparison to reaction with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, PLP-AMP binds more tightly and exhibits greater specificity of labeling for most enzymes tested. PLP-AMP is a very potent inhibitor of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase, with complete inhibition obtained upon incorporation of 1 mol of reagent/mol of catalytic subunit. The reagent is also a potent inhibitor of yeast hexokinase and phosphoglycerate kinase. When modified in the absence of substrates, these enzymes require 2 mol of reagent/mol of active site for complete inhibition. However, when modified in the presence of sugar substrates, this stoichiometry decreases to 1.1 for the hexokinase-glucose complex and 1.4 for the phosphoglycerate kinase . 3-phosphoglycerate complex. The most potent inhibition by PLP-AMP was observed with rabbit muscle adenylate kinase. Half-maximal inhibition was obtained at a concentration of approximately 1 microM. In contrast to these examples, PLP-AMP, as well as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, fails to act as a potent or specific inhibitor of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATP-ase. The high specificity of labeling and the ability of nucleotide substrates to decrease the rate of inactivation of the kinases and dehydrogenase are consistent with the modification of active site residues. The complete reversibility of both modification and inactivation in the absence of reduction by NaBH4 and the absorption spectra of modified enzymes prior to and following reduction indicate reaction with lysyl residues. We conclude that PLP-AMP holds considerable promise as an affinity label for exploring the structure and mechanism of nucleotide-binding enzymes.

The adenine nucleotide analog, [3H]pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (PLP-AMP), is shown to be a potent and specific inhibitor of yeast hexokinase PII. Evidence that the analog binds specifically at the ATP binding site includes the demonstration that glucose binding enhances PLP-AMP binding and that PLP-AMP and ATP bind competitively with an apparent Ki(PLP-AMP) = 23 microM. In addition, from the relationship between the degree of inhibition and extent of modification, it is estimated that the incorporation of 1 mol of PLP-AMP/mol of subunit is required for complete inhibition. Borohydride reduction of the Schiff's base complex formed between hexokinase and [3H]PLP-AMP gives a stable product. The reduced derivative was digested with trypsin and a single radioactive peptide was isolated by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Amino acid sequence analysis identified Lys-111 as the modified residue. Taking into account the known structures of the binary complexes (Shoham, M., and Steitz, T. A. (1980) J. Mol. Biol. 140, 1-14), the results suggest that Lys-111, located in the smaller of the two lobes of hexokinase, moves into the active site upon formation of the ternary complex.
