Enzyme architecture: the effect of replacement and deletion mutations of loop 6 on catalysis by triosephosphate isomerase.

ABSTRACT: Two mutations of the phosphodianion gripper loop in chicken muscle triosephosphate isomerase (cTIM) were examined: (1) the loop deletion mutant (LDM) formed by removal of residues 170-173 [Pompliano, D. L., et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 3186-3194] and (2) the loop 6 replacement mutant (L6RM), in which the N-terminal hinge sequence of TIM from eukaryotes, 166-PXW-168 (X = L or V), is replaced by the sequence from archaea, 166-PPE-168. The X-ray crystal structure of the L6RM shows a large displacement of the side chain of E168 from that for W168 in wild-type cTIM. Solution nuclear magnetic resonance data show that the L6RM results in significant chemical shift changes in loop 6 and surrounding regions, and that the binding of glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) results in chemical shift changes for nuclei at the active site of the L6RM that are smaller than those of wild-type cTIM. Interactions with loop 6 of the L6RM stabilize the enediolate intermediate toward the elimination reaction catalyzed by the LDM. The LDM and L6RM result in 800000- and 23000-fold decreases, respectively, in kcat/Km for isomerization of GAP. Saturation of the LDM, but not the L6RM, by substrate and inhibitor phosphoglycolate is detected by steady-state kinetic analyses. We propose, on the basis of a comparison of X-ray crystal structures for wild-type TIM and the L6RM, that ligands bind weakly to the L6RM because a large fraction of the ligand binding energy is utilized to overcome destabilizing electrostatic interactions between the side chains of E168 and E129 that are predicted to develop in the loop-closed enzyme. Similar normalized yields of DHAP, d-DHAP, and d-GAP are formed in LDM- and L6RM-catalyzed reactions of GAP in D2O. The smaller normalized 12-13% yield of DHAP and d-DHAP observed for the mutant cTIM-catalyzed reactions compared with the 79% yield of these products for wild-type cTIM suggests that these mutations impair the transfer of a proton from O-2 to O-1 at the initial enediolate phosphate intermediate. No products are detected for the LDM-catalyzed isomerization reactions in D2O of [1-(13)C]GA and HPi, but the L6RM-catalyzed reaction in the presence of 0.020 M dianion gives a 2% yield of the isomerization product [2-(13)C,2-(2)H]GA.

Project description:We report that the K12G mutation in triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae results in (1) a approximately 50-fold increase in K(m) for the substrate glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) and a 60-fold increase in K(i) for competitive inhibition by the intermediate analogue 2-phosphoglycolate, resulting from the loss of stabilizing ground state interactions between the alkylammonium side chain of Lys-12 and the ligand phosphodianion group; (2) a 12000-fold decrease in k(cat) for isomerization of GAP, suggesting a tightening of interactions between the side chain of Lys-12 and the substrate on proceeding from the Michaelis complex to the transition state; and (3) a 6 x 10(5)-fold decrease in k(cat)/K(m), corresponding to a total 7.8 kcal/mol stabilization of the transition state by the cationic side chain of Lys-12. The yields of the four products of the K12G TIM-catalyzed isomerization of GAP in D(2)O were quantified as dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) (27%), [1(R)-(2)H]DHAP (23%), [2(R)-(2)H]GAP (31%), and methylglyoxal (18%) from an enzyme-catalyzed elimination reaction. The K12G mutation has only a small effect on the relative yields of the three products of the transfer of a proton to the TIM-bound enediol(ate) intermediate in D(2)O, but it strongly favors catalysis of the elimination reaction to give methylglyoxal. The K12G mutation also results in a >or=14-fold decrease in k(cat)/K(m) for isomerization of bound glycolaldehyde (GA), although the dominant observed product of the mutant enzyme-catalyzed reaction of [1-(13)C]GA in D(2)O is [1-(13)C,2,2-di-(2)H]GA from a nonspecific protein-catalyzed reaction. The observation that the K12G mutation results in a large decrease in k(cat)/K(m) for the reactions of both GAP and the neutral truncated substrate [1-(13)C]GA provides evidence for a stabilizing interaction between the cationic side chain of Lys-12 and the negative charge that develops at the enolate-like oxygen in the transition state for deprotonation of the sugar substrate "piece".
