It has recently been reported that
insulin-degrading enzyme
(
IDE
) contains an allosteric site which binds polyanions such as ATP and PPPi. This site is distinct from the catalytic site where homotrophic allosteric effects are produced. In this study, we have characterized the binding of ATP to this anion binding site using the fluorescent ATP analog 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-adenosine triphosphate (TNP-ATP), which exhibits a higher affinity to the enzyme than ATP itself. TNP-ATP binding to
IDE
was accompanied by a more than 4-fold increase in fluorescence. The dissociation constant (K(D)) of TNP-ATP was determined as 1.15 microM, while the activation constant (K(A)) was determined to be 1.6 microM. Competition experiments were used to show that ATP (Ki = 1.3 mM) and PPPi (Ki = 0.9mM) bind with a higher affinity than ADP (2.2 mM) and AMP (4.0 mM).
Adenosine
did not bind to the anion binding site.
