Perturbation of tryptophan residues by point mutations in bacteriophage T4 lysozyme studied by optical detection of triplet-state magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Abstract:

:We have investigated perturbations of the triplet-state properties of Trp residues in bacteriophage T4 lysozyme caused by point mutations using low-temperature phosphorescence and optical detection of triplet-state magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy. Five temperature-sensitive mutants have been studied in detail. These include lysozymes with the point mutations Gln-105----Ala, Gln-105----Gly, Gln-105----Glu, Ala-146----Thr, and Trp-126----Gln. Changes in phosphorescence 0,0 band wavelength, intensity, the triplet-state zero-field splitting (ZFS), and the wavelength dependence of the ZFS were detected only from Trp-138 in each mutant. In the case of the Q105A mutation, the perturbations on Trp-138 have been ascribed to the combination of an increase in the polarizability of the environment and to the loss of hydrogen bonding of the enamine nitrogen of indole. For the Q105G mutation, we believe that Q is replaced by a solvent molecule in H bonding, leading to relatively small changes. In the Q105E mutation, the perturbation results largely from the introduction of a charged residue. In the case of the mutation A146T, the perturbation is associated with a local conformational change in which Trp-138 is shifted to a more solvent-exposed location. On the other hand, no significant spectroscopic changes in Trp-126 and Trp-158 were found in any of the mutants, suggesting that the perturbations are probably localized near Trp-138 for the mutations of positions 105 and 146. However, in the mutation W126Q, which occurs approximately 16 A away from Trp-138, significant changes of Trp-138 are detected, suggesting that the effects of this mutation are propagated over large distances.
