Pre-steady-state kinetics of the microtubule-kinesin ATPase.

Abstract：

:The pre-steady-state kinetics of the microtubule-kinesin ATPase were investigated by chemical-quench flow methods using the Drosophila kinesin motor domain (K401) expressed in Escherichia coli [Gilbert, S. P., & Johnson, K. A. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 4677-4684]. The results define a minimal mechanism: M.K + ATP in equilibrium with (M).K.ATP in equilibrium with (M).K.ADP.Pi in equilibrium with M.K.ADP + Pi in equilibrium with M.K + ADP, where M, K, and Pi represent microtubules, kinesin, and inorganic phosphate, respectively, with k+1 = 0.8-3 microM-1 s-1, k-1 = 100-300 s-1, k+2 = 70-120 s-1, k+4 = 10-20 s-1, and k+3 > k-2 and k+3 > k+4. Conditions were as follows: 25 degrees C, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.2 with KOH, 5 mM magnesium acetate, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM EGTA, 50 mM potassium acetate, 1 mM DTT. The experiments presented do not determine the step in the cycle where kinesin dissociates from the microtubule or the step at which kinesin reassociates with the microtubule; therefore, the steps that may represent kinesin as the free enzyme are indicated by (M). A burst of ADP product formation was observed during the first turnover of the enzyme in the acid-quench experiments that define the ATP hydrolysis transient. The observation of the burst demonstrates that product release is rate limiting even in the presence of saturating microtubule concentrations. The pulse-chase experiments define the time course of ATP binding to the microtubule-K401 complex. At low ATP concentrations, ATP binding limits the rate of the burst. However, at high concentrations of ATP, ATP binding is faster than the rate of ATP hydrolysis with k+2 = 70-120 s-1. The amplitude of the burst of the ATP binding transient reached a maximum of 0.7 per site at saturating concentrations of ATP and microtubules. The amplitude of less than 1 is attributed to the fast k(off) for ATP (k-1 = 100-300 s-1) that leads to a partitioning of the M.K.ATP complex between ATP hydrolysis (k+2) and ATP release (k-1). These results indicate that ATP binds weakly to the M.K complex (Kd,ATP app approximately 100 microM). ADP release (k+4 = 10-20 s-1) is rate limiting during steady-state turnover, indicating that microtubules activate the kinesin ATPase by increasing k(off),ADP from 0.01 s-1 in the absence of microtubules to 10-20 s-1 at saturating microtubule concentrations.
