Abstract:
:Helices IV and V in the lactose permease of Escherichia coli contain the major determinants for substrate binding [Glu126 (helix IV), Arg144 (helix V), and Cys148 (helix V)]. Structural and dynamic features of this region were studied by using site-directed sulfhydryl modification of 48 single-Cys replacement mutants with N-[(14)C]ethylmaleimide (NEM) in the absence or presence of ligand. In right-side-out membrane vesicles, Cys residues in the cytoplasmic halves of both helices react with NEM in the absence of ligand, while Cys residues in the periplasmic halves do not. Five Cys replacement mutants at the periplasmic end of helix V and one at the cytoplasmic end of helix V label only in the presence of ligand. Interestingly, in addition to native Cys148, a known binding-site residue, labeling of mutant Ala122 --> Cys, which is located in helix IV across from Cys148, is markedly attenuated by ligand. Furthermore, alkylation of the Ala122 --> Cys mutant blocks transport, and protection is afforded by substrate, indicating that Ala122 is also a component of the sugar binding site. Methanethiosulfonate ethylsulfonate, an impermeant thiol reagent shown clearly in this paper to be impermeant in E. coli spheroplasts, was used to identify substituted Cys side chains exposed to water and accessible from the periplasmic side. Most of the Cys mutants in the cytoplasmic halves of helices IV and V, as well as two residues in the intervening loop, are accessible to the aqueous phase from the periplasmic face of the membrane. The findings indicate that the cytoplasmic halves of helices IV and V are more reactive/accessible to thiol reagents and more exposed to solvent than the periplasmic half. Furthermore, positions that exhibit ligand-induced changes are located for the most part in the vicinity of the residues directly involved in substrate binding, as well as the cytoplasmic loop between helices IV and V.
