The binding isotherms of native bovine serum albumin with cationic detergents, such as octyl, decyl, dodecyl and tetradecylpyridinium bromides were determined at pH 6.8 and 3.4 at 25 degrees C. The isotherms for dodecyl and tetradecylpyridinium bromides were also determined at 3 degrees C. The average number of detergent cations bound increased with increasing hydrocarbon chain length. At low detergent concentration the binding of all alkylpyridinium bromides was smaller at pH 3.4 than at pH 6.8. Dodecylpyridinium bromide was bound to native beta-lactoglobulin, aldolase, ovalbumin, haemoglobin, myoglobin, lysozyme, trypsin and ribonuclease at pH 6.8. No binding occurred to alpha-chymotrypsin and chymotrypsinogen. The free enthalpy change, --delta G degrees, calculated from intrinsic association constants K was determined.

The permeability of artificial lipid membranes for six enzymes, e.g. RNAse, trypsin, amylase, aldolase, invertase and alkaline phosphatase, was studied. The permeability coefficient values for these enzymes were calculated. It was shown that the penetration process consists of several steps: adsorption of enzyme on the membrane surface, diffusion of enzyme molecules through the lipid layer and enzyme desorption into the surrounding solution. The results obtained suggest that the diffusion of the enzyme molecules through the lipid layer is the limiting step of the penetration process.

The hydrophobic nature of proteins is characterized by a degree of 2-p-toluidinonaphthalene-6-sulphonate (TNS) affinity to them and is pronounced quantitatively in the semi-saturated (C1/2) concentrations. This index correlates directly with the position of TNS emission maximum after the binding with proteins and reversely with the yield of fluorescence. The preparations of phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, xantinoxidase, glyceratekinase, lysozyme, RNase during the long (1-2 h) contact with TNS change the values C1/2, that evidences for interaction with the hydrophobic indicator of new structures of protein molecule or for a change in the nature of its linkage itself. An attempt is made to characterize the accessible for TNS hydrophobic nature of individual proteins by a coefficient of molar hydrophobic nature which unites three mentioned characteristics. Serum albumin, insulin, glucogon, alpha chemotrypsin, DNase are most hydrophobic, pyruvate kinase, aldolase, urease, RNase--least hydrophobic, Glycerate kinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, xanthinoxidase, trypsin, lysozyme are in intermediate position.

Nuclear magnetic quadrupole relaxation appears to be a general method for studying the binding of anions to proteins. This is shown by the increase in transverse quadrupole relaxation rate of 35Cl- and 81Br- in the presence of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, lysozyme, trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, human carbonic anhydrase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase and human serum albumin. Of the many possible binding sites at the surface of a protein (e.g. positively charged amino acid side-chains) only a few account for the main part of the relaxation enhancement. This is shown by the decrease in 35Cl- and 81Br- relaxation rate on addition of functional ligands. Large, kinetically inert, complex anions like Pt(CN)2-4 and Au(CN)-2 are found to act as strong competitors towards halogen ions for the high-affinity anion binding sites of a number of proteins. Titrations with complex anions following the 35Cl- or 81Br- relaxation rates are found to be helpful in attempts to elucidate binding mechanisms. Especially, the complex anions may be useful probes for the discrimination between general and metallic anion binding sites in proteins and they also permit correlation of information from X-ray investigations of crystals with that from physical measurements in solution. From the change in halide ion quadrupole relaxation rate on addition of strongly binding ligands the quadrupole coupling constants of the high affinity Cl- and Br- binding sites are estimated using certain assumptions. It is found that for several proteins, comprising the metal-free proteins but also alcohol dehydrogenase and Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, the 35Cl quadrupole coupling constants have approximately the same values. For some other metallo-proteins like carbonic anhydrase and a zinc - serum-albumin complex considerably greater quadrupole coupling constants were obtained. The estimated quadrupole coupling constants are used as a basis for a discussion of the interactions involved in anion-protein interactions.

The peptides released during the limited tryptic proteolysis of rabbit muscle aldolase (Biszku et al., 1973) were located in the primary structure. The pattern of peptide liberation, peptide bond splitting and activity decrease in compatible with two structural models for the truncated tetrameric product, named aldolase-T. According to the more probable model aldolase-T has the structure A+A+B++B++. Subunits B++ are deprived of the segments comprising residues 1-27, 42-71 and 306-364 of the intact enzyme and are inactive. The fragment comprising residues 28-41 is non-covalently attached to these subunits. Subunits A+ are depleted only of peptides 1-27 and 324-332 and retain 70% activity. In these subunits the fragment comprising residue 333-364 remains non-covalently bound. The molecular weights of the truncated subunits, determined with polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate support the above conclusions. Aldolase-T can be reversibly denatured at pH 2 or in 4 M urea. The recovery of enzymatic activity after decreasing urea or acid concentration indicates the non-covalent rebinding of fragment 333-364. This fragment is named the "T-peptide" of trypsin-treated aldolase. It is suggested that segments 1-27 and 324-364 are not necessary for the renaturation process. Since aldolase-T is a tetramer it seems that large parts of the N- and C-terminal regions of the enzyme are not involved in the intersubunit interactions. The C-terminal region of aldolase, starting around residue 324, appears to be necessary to the structure of the active site. In contrast to this, the N-terminal region up to residue 27 and probably to residue 60, is not part of the active center.

The effect of the proteolysis of aldolase on both the substrate specificity of the enzyme and binding capacity for actin have been studied. Carboxypeptidase A, trypsin, chymotrypsin and pepsin, all acted to cleave peptides from the C-terminal portion of the enzyme, resulting initially in a marked loss of activity towards fructose-1:6-bisphosphate (FBP), without impairment of activity towards fructose-1-phosphate (F1P). In some cases, however, further proteolysis caused reductions in activity with F1P as well. By correlating the size of the peptide fragments released by these enzymes with the known sequence of aldolase, evidence has been provided that cleavage of His-359 and/or Tyr-361 lead to the loss of FBP activity, while further cleavage of up to six amino acids begin to affect activity against F1P, as well. In regard to the ability of the proteolysed aldolase to bind to F-actin, it was evident from these studies that binding ability was not impaired in the initial stages of proteolysis referred to above, but was retained until the enzyme was extensively degraded. This differential behaviour of the active and binding sites on aldolase clearly establish their separate topographical localization. These results have been discussed in relation to the positioning of these separate sites on the enzyme, the nature of the interaction between aldolase and actin and the phenomenon of enzyme ambiquity in cells and tissues.

Pure 2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate aldolase of Escherichia coli, a "lysine-type" trimeric enzyme which has the unique properties of forming an "abortive" Schiff-base intermediate with glyoxylate (the aldehydic product/substrate) and of showing strong beta-decarboxylase activity toward oxalacetate, binds any one of its substrates (2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate, pyruvate, or glyoxylate) in a competitive manner. To determine whether the substrates bind at the same or different (juxta-positioned) sites and what degree of homology might exist between the active-site lysine peptide of this enzyme and that of other lysine-type (Class I) aldolases or beta-decarboxylases, the azomethine formed separately by this aldolase with either [14C]pyruvate or [14C]glyoxylate was reduced with CNBH3-. After each enzyme adduct was digested with trypsin, the 14C-labeled peptide was isolated, purified, and subjected to amino acid analysis and sequence determination. In each case, the same 14-amino acid lysine-peptide was isolated and found to have the following primary sequence: Glu-Phe-*Lys-Phe-Phe-Pro-Ala-Glu-Ala-Asn-Gly-Gly-Val-Lys (where * = the active-site lysine). Hence, glyoxylate competes for, and inhibits aldolase activity by reacting with, the one active-site lysine residue/subunit. This active-site lysine peptide has a high degree (65%) of homology with that of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase of Pseudomonas putida but is not similar to that of any Class I fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase or of acetoacetate beta-decarboxylase of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Furthermore, it was found that extensive reaction of glyoxylate with the N-terminal amino group of this enzyme may well be general complicating factor in sequence studies with proteins plus glyoxylate.

The complete amino acid sequence of 2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate aldolase from Escherichia coli has been established in the following manner. After being reduced with dithiothreitol, the purified aldolase was alkylated with iodoacetamide and subsequently digested with trypsin. The resulting 19 peptide peaks observed by high performance liquid chromatography, which compared with 21 expected tryptic cleavage products, were all isolated, purified, and individually sequenced. Overlap peptides were obtained by a combination of sequencing the N-terminal region of the intact aldolase and by cleaving the intact enzyme with cyanogen bromide followed by subdigestion of the three major cyanogen bromide peptides with either Staphylococcus aureus V8 endoproteinase, endoproteinase Lys C, or trypsin after citraconylation of lysine residues. The primary structure of the molecule was determined to be as follows. (formula; see text) 2-Keto-4-hydroxyglutarate aldolase from E. coli consists of 213 amino acids with a subunit and a trimer molecular weight of 22,286 and 66,858, respectively. No microheterogeneity is observed among the three subunits. The peptide containing the active-site arginine residue (Vlahos, C. J., Ghalambor, M. A., and Dekker, E. E. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 5480-5485) was also isolated and sequenced; this arginine residue occupies position 49. The Schiff base-forming lysine residue (Vlahos, C. J., and Dekker, E. E. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 11049-11055) is located at position 133. Whereas the active-site lysine peptide of this aldolase shows 65% homology with the same peptide of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase from Pseudomonas putida, these two proteins in toto show 49% homology.

The complete amino acid sequence of human skeletal-muscle fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, comprising 363 residues, was determined. The sequence was deduced by automated sequencing of CNBr-cleavage, o-iodosobenzoic acid-cleavage, trypsin-digest and staphylococcal-proteinase-digest fragments. Comparison of the sequence with other class I aldolase sequences shows that the mammalian muscle isoenzyme is one of the most highly conserved enzymes known, with only about 2% of the residues changing per 100 million years. Non-mammalian aldolases appear to be evolving at the same rate as other glycolytic enzymes, with about 4% of the residues changing per 100 million years. Secondary-structure predictions are analysed in an accompanying paper [Sawyer, Fothergill-Gilmore & Freemont (1988) Biochem. J. 249, 789-793].

Steady-state kinetic measurements have shown that 8-azido-1,N6-ethenoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (8-N3-epsilon ATP) can be noncovalently bound to rabbit muscle fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase with Ki = 0.075 mM at pH 8.5. This binding is purely competitive with substrate and occurs at the strong binding site for mononucleotides. Photoaffinity labeling of aldolase in the presence of 8-azido-1,N6-ethenoadenosine 5'-triphosphate results in inactivation of the enzyme. Aldolase is protected against modification in the presence of the inhibitors hexitol 1,6-bisphosphate or ATP. The labeling is saturable, and a good correlation is observed between the loss of enzymatic activity and the incorporation of 8-N3-epsilon ATP into aldolase. In addition, aldolase loses its ability to bind to phosphocellulose following modification. Digestion of labeled protein with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and cyanogen bromide revealed substantial modification of peptide 259-269. Thr-265 was identified as the residue that was covalently modified by 8-N3-epsilon ATP. On the basis of these results and other data we propose a model for the mononucleotide binding site.
