Abstract:
:The binding of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) to ciliary dynein ATPase leads to a marked increase in the dye's fluorescence intensity, accompanied by a blue shift in the observed fluorescence emission maximum. We found that dynein has 37 +/- 3 ANS binding sites and that experimentally applied ANS concentrations failed to alter enzyme activity. The fluorescence properties of the enzyme-dye complex were used to learn more about the binding characteristics of dynein substrates and effectors and to probe for possible conformational changes of the enzyme. The fluorescence of the dynein-ANS complex is increased by a number of substrates, including ATP, GTP, and UTP. The transfer of excitation energy from dynein chromophores to adsorbed ANS was also investigated. Our findings indicate that dynein appears to undergo a localized conformational change in its interaction with ATP. Native dynein was also found to be conformationally different from heat-activated or NEM-modified enzyme as evidenced by the emission and excitation spectra of the various enzyme-ANS complexes.
