Abstract：
:In bee venom phospholipase A2, histidine-34 probably functions as a Brønsted base to deprotonate the attacking water. Aspartate-64 and tyrosine-87 form a hydrogen bonding network with histidine-34. We have prepared mutants at these positions and studied their kinetic properties. The mutant in which histidine-34 is changed to glutamine is catalytically inactive, while the mutants in which aspartate-64 is changed to asparagine or alanine (interfacial turnover numbers are reduced by 50-100-fold) or in which tyrosine-87 is changed to phenylalanine (no change in turnover number) retain good activity. The interfacial Michaelis constants are changed by less than 10-fold for all mutants. Molecular simulations suggest that mutation of aspartate-64 and tyrosine-87 should yield enzymes that retain a native-like structure and support catalysis. The pKa of the histidine-34 imidazole was deduced from the pH-rate profile and from the pH dependence of the rate of histidine-34 alkylation by 2-bromo-4'-nitroacetophenone. The pKa is increased about one-half unit by the tyrosine-87 mutation and reduced about one-half unit by the aspartate-64 to asparagine mutation, while in the aspartate-64 to alanine mutant the pKa is unchanged. These pKas are generally consistent with results of electrostatic calculations and suggest that the hydrogen bond between aspartate-64 and histidine-34 is not unusually strong. The hydrogen bonding network linking tyrosine-87 to aspartate-64 and aspartate-64 to histidine-34 is not critical for catalysis.
