Abstract:
:The enzyme 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid 8-phosphate synthase (EC 4.1. 2.16) (KDO 8-P synthase) that catalyzes the condensation of D-arabinose 5-phosphate (A 5-P) with phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to give 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid 8-phosphate (KDO 8-P) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) was inactivated by the thiol-modifying reagents 5,5-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate) (DTNB) and methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS). Reaction of cloned native KDO 8-P synthase with DTNB correlated with modification of two of the four cysteine sulfhydryls per monomer of enzyme and total loss of enzymatic activity which could be partially restored by treatment with dithiothreitol (DTT). Cyanolysis of the DTNB-inactivated enzyme with KCN led to the elimination of 2 equiv of 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoate and partial recovery of activity. The presence of either substrate(s) or product(s) provided no protection against inactivation nor affected the number of cysteines modified, indicating that the cysteines modified are most likely not at the active site of KDO 8-P synthase. Titration of denatured enzyme with DTNB resulted in the modification of all four cysteines. After treatment of native enzyme with MMTS, no cysteines could be titrated with DTNB and no enzymatic activity could be detected. Treatment of the MMTS-inactivated KDO 8-P synthase with DTT resulted in restoration of enzymatic activity and the presence of two DTNB-titratable cysteine residues. Based on these observations and a report that KDO 8-P synthase is inactivated in a time-dependent manner with 3-bromopyruvate and that the substrate PEP protects against this inactivation, all four cysteines (38, 166, 206, and 249) were individually mutated to alanines via a modified PCR methodology. The C206A and C249A mutants were both enzymatically active with K(m) and Vmax values approximately identical to those of wild-type KDO 8-P synthase, and both native mutants reacted with DTNB to modify only one of the three remaining cysteine sulfhydryls per monomer of enzyme. Titration of denatured C206A and C249A mutants resulted in the modification of three cysteines. The C38A and C166A mutants were both for the most part enzymatically inactive. Titration of native C38A and C166A with DTNB resulted in modification of two cysteines while titration of the denatured mutant protein resulted in modification of the three remaining cysteines. Circular dichroism measurements of wild-type KDO 8-P synthase and the four C --> A mutants indicate modest but significant changes in the structure of the mutants. These results indicate that C206 and C249 in native KDO 8-P synthase are readily accessible to the modification reagent DTNB and therefore inactivation may result from structural changes in the DTNB-modified KDO 8-P synthase or blockage of access of substrates to the active site. The C38 and C166 in native KDO 8-P synthase are inaccessible to the modification reagent DTNB, indicating that they are located in the interior of KDO 8-P synthase, and loss of activity in the C38A and C166A mutants suggests their essentiality in the KDO 8-P synthase reaction.
