Abstract：
:The importance of the interdomain bridging interactions observed only in the R-state structure of Escherichia coli aspartate transcarbamylase between Glu-50 of the carbamoyl phosphate domain with both Arg-167 and Arg-234 of the aspartate domain has been investigated by using site-specific mutagenesis. Two mutant versions of aspartate transcarbamylase were constructed, one with alanine at position 50 (Glu-50----Ala) and the other with aspartic acid at position 50 (Glu-50----Asp). The alanine substitution totally prevents the interdomain bridging interactions, while the aspartic acid substitution was expected to weaken these interactions. The Glu-50----Ala holoenzyme exhibits a 15-fold loss of activity, no substrate cooperativity, and a more than 6-fold increase in the aspartate concentration at half the maximal observed specific activity. The Glu-50----Asp holoenzyme exhibits a less than 3-fold loss of activity, reduced cooperativity for substrates, and a 2-fold increase in the aspartate concentration at half the maximal observed specific activity. Although the Glu-50----Ala enzyme exhibits no homotropic cooperativity, it is activated by N-(phosphonoacetyl)-L-aspartate (PALA). As opposed to the wild-type enzyme, the Glu-50----Ala enzyme is activated by PALA at saturating concentrations of aspartate. At subsaturating concentrations of aspartate, both mutant enzymes are activated by ATP, but are inhibited less by CTP than is the wild-type enzyme. At saturating concentrations of aspartate, the Glu-50----Ala enzyme is activated by ATP and inhibited by CTP to an even greater extent than at subsaturating concentrations of aspartate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
