The reaction of rabbit muscle creatine kinase with diethyl pyrocarbonate.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of rabbit muscle creatine kinase with diethyl pyrocarbonate was studied. It was found that up to five of the sixteen histidine groups per enzyme subunit could be modified, and under the conditions employed, there was no evidence for formation of the disubstituted derivative of histidine. Evidence was obtained for small but significant amounts of modification of lysine and cysteine groups; tyrosine groups were not modified. Modification of the enzyme led to inactivation; this could be protected against by inclusion of substrates or, more effectively, by inclusion of the combination MgADP plus creatine plus nitrate, which is thought to produce a 'transition-stage-analogue' complex. Analysis of data on the rates of inactivation and the stoicheiometry of modification suggested that there was one essential histidine group per enzyme subunit, modification of which led to inactivation.

The reaction of rabbit muscle creatine kinase with some derivatives of iodoacetamide.

Project description:The dimeric enzyme creatine kinase from rabbit muscle was treated with three derivatives of iodoacetamide that are capable of introducing fluorescent groups into the enzyme. All the three reagents (4-iodoacetamidosalicylate (IAS), 5-[N-(iodoacetamidoethyl)amino]-naphthalene-1-sulphonate (IAEDANS) and 6-(4-iodoacetamidophenyl)aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonate (IAANS)) were shown to react at the same single thiol group on each enzyme subunit, leading to complete inactivation of the enzyme. The reaction with IAS was extremely rapid by comparison with the reaction with iodoacetamide or iodoacetate, but various lines of evidence suggest that IAS is not a true affinity label. However, kinetic and binding studies indicate that salicylate itself probably binds at the nucleotide-binding site on the enzyme. As the size of the modifying reagent increased, the first thiol group reacted more rapidly than the second; this trend was more pronounced at 0 degree C than at 25 degree C. With the largest modifying reagent used (IAANS), the pronounced biphasic nature of the modification reaction permitted the preparation of a hybrid enzyme in which only one subunit was modified, but a study of the thiol-group reactivity showed that this hybrid enzyme preparation underwent subunit rearrangement.

Alkylation of rabbit muscle creatine kinase surface methionine residues inhibits enzyme activity in vitro.

Project description:Creatine kinase (CK) catalyzes the formation of phosphocreatine from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine. The highly reactive free cysteine residue in the active site of the enzyme (Cys283) is considered essential for the enzymatic activity. In previous studies we demonstrated that Cys283 is targeted by the alkylating chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard (SM) yielding a thioether with a hydroxyethylthioethyl (HETE)-moiety. In the present study, the effect of SM on rabbit muscle CK (rmCK) activity was investigated with special focus on the alkylation of Cys283 and of reactive methionine (Met) residues. For investigation of SM-alkylated amino acids in rmCK, micro liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization high-resolution tandem-mass spectrometry measurements were performed using the Orbitrap technology. The treatment of rmCK with SM resulted in a decrease of enzyme activity. However, this decrease did only weakly correlate to the modification of Cys283 but was conclusive for the formation of Met70-HETE and Met179-HETE. In contrast, the activity of mutants of rmCK produced by side-directed mutagenesis that contained substitutions of the respective Met residues (Met70Ala, Met179Leu, and Met70Ala/Met179Leu) was highly resistant against SM. Our results point to a critical role of the surface exposed Met70 and Met179 residues for CK activity.

The effect of limited proteolysis on rabbit muscle creatine kinase.

Project description:Creatine kinase from rabbit muscle is inactivated by limited proteolysis with proteinase K from Tritirachium album. Gel-filtration and cross-linking studies showed that the limited proteolysis did not affect the molecular weight of the enzyme under non-denaturing conditions, but did cause changes in the reactivity of the reactive thiol group on each subunit and in the ability of the enzyme to form a 'transition-state analogue' complex in the presence of magnesium acetate plus ADP plus creatinine plus NaNO3.

Chaperone-like effect of the linker on the isolated C-terminal domain of rabbit muscle creatine kinase.

Project description:Intramolecular chaperones (IMCs), which are specific domains/segments encoded in the primary structure of proteins, exhibit chaperone-like activity against the aggregation of the other domains in the same molecule. In this research, we found that the truncation of the linker greatly promoted the thermal aggregation of the isolated C-terminal domain (CTD) of rabbit muscle creatine kinase (RMCK). Either the existence of the linker covalently linked to CTD or the supply of the synthetic linker peptide additionally could successfully protect the CTD of RMCK against aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner. Truncated fragments of the linker also behaved as a chaperone-like effect with lower efficiency, revealing the importance of its C-terminal half in the IMC function of the linker. The aggregation sites in the CTD of RMCK were identified by molecular dynamics simulations. Mutational analysis of the three key hydrophobic residues resulted in opposing effects on the thermal aggregation between the CTD with intact or partial linker, confirming the role of linker as a lid to protect the hydrophobic residues against exposure to solvent. These observations suggested that the linkers in multidomain proteins could act as IMCs to facilitate the correct folding of the aggregation-prone domains. Furthermore, the intactness of the IMC linker after proteolysis modulates the production of off-pathway aggregates, which may be important to the onset of some diseases caused by the toxic effects of aggregated proteolytic fragments.

The reaction of a histidine residue in glutamate dehydrogenase with diethyl pyrocarbonate.

Project description:1. One mol of diethyl pyrocarbonate will react with one mol of glutamate dehydrogenase polypeptide chains to form one mol of N(1)-carbethoxyhistidine. Reaction is prevented by NADH. 2. The 1:1 complex has an increased specific activity (1.4-2.0-fold). 3. The reason for the activation is discussed. The results are not consistent with NADH dissociation from the enzyme-glutamate-NADH complex being rate-limiting in the steady state measured. 4. The effects of modification on the properties of the enzyme were investigated. The effects of GTP and NAD(+) on the enzyme activity are unaltered by activation. NADH binding is unaltered and there is no apparent change in the molecular weight. However, the activated enzyme can still be further activated by ADP. K(s) for ADP is decreased fivefold.

Heterogeneity of rabbit muscle creatine kinase and limited proteolysis by proteinase K.

Project description:By using sodium dodecyl sulphage/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis it was shown that rabbit muscle creatine kinase, both in a homogenate and purified, appears to be composed of a mixture of two peptides (mol.wts. 42100 and 40300) differing in length by about 15 amino acids. It is found that low concentrations of proteinase K from the fungus Tritirachium album can cleave about 38 amino acids from each chain of creatine kinase, leaving two large fragments (mol.wts 37700 and 35500). Scission of the whole enzyme was found to be concomitant with complete loss of enzyme activity. MgADP in the presence of absence of creatine slowed the rate of proteolysis by about 50%, but the transition-state analogue complex creatine-NO3--MgADP appeared to protect completely. The time course for the proteolytic inactivation in the presence of this complex, but not in its absence, was biphasic.

Diethyl pyrocarbonate modification of the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ channel from skeletal muscle.

Project description:Exposure of junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes or purified ryanodine receptor to the histidine-specific reagent diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) led to concentration- and time-dependent inactivation of ryanodine binding. The pH-dependence of the inactivation of ryanodine binding by DEPC and the reversal of this inactivation by hydroxylamine suggests the modification of histidine residue(s) by the reagent. Kinetic analysis of the time course of inactivation of ryanodine binding by DEPC suggests that the inactivation resulted from modification of a single class of histidine residue per ryanodine-binding site. The degree of inactivation of ryanodine binding by DEPC was decreased when high NaCl concentrations were present in the modification medium. The binding affinities for ryanodine and Ca2+ were not altered by DEPC modification. This modification decreased the total ryanodine-binding sites. DEPC modification increased the Ca(2+)-permeability of the SR vesicles. A variety of bivalent cations prevented the DEPC inactivation of ryanodine binding in a series of decreasing efficiency: Mn2+ > Ba2+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+, similar to their effectiveness in inhibiting ryanodine binding. It is suggested that a histidine residue(s) in the ryanodine receptor is involved, either in the binding of Ca2+, or in a conformational change that may be required for Ca2+ binding to its binding site(s). This modification of the ryanodine receptor resulted in inactivation of ryanodine binding and activation of Ca2+ release.

Calmodulin complexes with brain and muscle creatine kinase peptides.

Project description:Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ sensing protein that binds to and modulates numerous target proteins and enzymes during cellular signaling processes. A large number of CaM-target complexes have been identified and structurally characterized, revealing a wide diversity of CaM-binding modes. A newly identified target is creatine kinase (CK), a central enzyme in cellular energy homeostasis. This study reports two high-resolution X-ray structures, determined to 1.24 Å and 1.43 Å resolution, of calmodulin in complex with peptides from human brain and muscle CK, respectively. Both complexes adopt a rare extended binding mode with an observed stoichiometry of 1:2 CaM:peptide, confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry, suggesting that each CaM domain independently binds one CK peptide in a Ca2+-depended manner. While the overall binding mode is similar between the structures with muscle or brain-type CK peptides, the most significant difference is the opposite binding orientation of the peptides in the N-terminal domain. This may extrapolate into distinct binding modes and regulation of the full-length CK isoforms. The structural insights gained in this study strengthen the link between cellular energy homeostasis and Ca2+-mediated cell signaling and may shed light on ways by which cells can 'fine tune' their energy levels to match the spatial and temporal demands.

Properties of matrix-bound dimer and monomer derivatives of immobilized creatine kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle.

Project description:Dimeric creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) from rabbit skeletal muscle can be immobilized via a single subunit to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B and subsequently treated with guanidine hydrochloride followed by renaturation to yield a catalytically active matrix-bound subunit derivative. The importance of the intact dimeric structure in the activation of the enzyme by acetate was demonstrated. Immobilization did not appear to alter the pH optimum of the enzyme, and the kinetic parameters fot the matrix-bound derivatives were generally similar to those for the soluble enzyme, but the matrix-bound derivatives showed higher thermal stability and greater resistance to denaturation than did the soluble enzyme. The rates of reaction of thiol groups of the matrix-bound derivatives with iodoacetamide in the absence and in the presence of combinations of substrates were similar to those of the soluble enzyme. Studies with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) and with iodoacetamide revealed the presence of an additional reactive thiol group in the matrix-bound subunit derivative, which is presumably masked in the dimeric derivatives.
