Abstract:
:The enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) catalyzes the reversible conversion of oxalacetate and GTP to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), GDP, and CO2. PEPCK from higher organisms is a monomer, specifically requires GTP or ITP, and uses Mn2+ as the activating cation. Currently, there is no crystal structure of GTP-utilizing PEPCKs. The conformation of the bound nucleotide was determined from transferred nuclear Overhauser effects (trnOe) experiments to determine internuclear proton distances. At 600 MHz in the presence of PEPCK, nOe effects were observed between nucleotide protons. Internuclear distances were calculated from the initial rate of the nOe buildup. These distance constraints were used in energy minimization calculations to determine the conformation of PEPCK-bound GTP. The bound nucleotide has the base oriented anti to the C2'-endo(2E) ribose ring conformation. Relaxation rate studies indicate that there is an additional relaxation effect on the C1' proton upon nucleotide binding to PEPCK. Nucleotide binding to PEPCK-Mn2+ was studied by 1H relaxation rate studies, but results were complicated by long dipole-dipole distances and the presence of competing complexes. Modification of PEPCK by iodoacetamido-TEMPO leads to an inactive enzyme that is spin-labeled at cys273. The interaction of TEMPO-PEPCK with GTP allows for the measurement of nuclear distances between GTP and the spin label. The results suggest that cys273 lies near the ribose ring of the bound nucleotide, but it is too far to be implicated in direct hydrogen bonding interactions consistent with previous results [Makinen, A. L., and Nowak, T. J. Biol. Chem. (1989) 264, 12148], suggesting that cys273 does not actively participate in catalysis. Modification of PEPCK with several cysteine specific modifying agents causes no change in the ability of the enzyme to bind nucleotide as monitored by fluorescence quenching. A correlation between the size of the modifying agent and the maximal observed quenching upon saturation of the enzyme with nucleotide is observed. This suggests a mechanism for inactivation of PEPCK by cysteine modification due to inhibition of a dynamic motion that may occur upon nucleotide binding.
