Abstract：
:Succinyl-CoA synthetase of Escherichia coli is an alpha 2 beta 2 protein containing active sites at the interfaces between alpha- and beta-subunits. The alpha-subunit contains a histidine residue that is phosphorylated during the reaction. The beta-subunit binds coenzyme A and probably succinate [see Nishimura, J. S. (1986) Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Areas Mol. Biol. 58, 141-172]. Chemical modification studies have been conducted in order to more clearly define functions of each subunit. Tryptophan residues of the enzyme were modified by treatment with N-bromosuccinimide at pH 7. There was a linear relationship between loss of enzyme activity and tryptophan modified. At one tryptophan residue modified per beta-subunit, 100% of the enzyme activity was lost. In this enzyme sample, one methionine residue in each alpha- and beta-subunit was oxidized to methionine sulfoxide, although loss of enzyme activity could not be related in a linear manner to the formation of this residue. Subunits were prepared from enzyme that was inactivated 50% by N-bromosuccinimide with 0.5 tryptophan modified per beta-subunit but with insignificant modification of methionine residues in either subunit. Small decreases in the tyrosine and histidine content were observed in the alpha-subunit but not in the beta-subunit. In this case, modified beta-subunit when mixed with unmodified alpha-subunit gave a population of molecules that was 50% as active as the refolded, unmodified control but was only slightly changed with respect to phosphorylation capacity and unchanged with respect to rate of phosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
