Abstract
The paramagnetic effect of Mn(II) on 13C and 31P NMR signals from the [2-13C]ATP adenylylated glutamine synthetase [L-glutamate:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming); EC 6.3.1.2] from E. coli was measured. This effect permitted the determination of distances from the 2-C position and the P of covalently bound AMP to the 2 Mn(II) binding sites, n1 and n2. Binding of Mn(II) to the n1 site converts an inactive apo-enzyme to its active form, while the metal ion bound at n2 occupies the metal-nucleotide substrate site. The distances from Mn(II) at the n1 and n2 sites to P are .apprx. 10 and .apprx. 7 .ANG. and to the 2-C position of the adenine ring are .apprx. 12 and .apprx. 11 .ANG., respectively. The fluorescence energy transfer method was used to determine distances between Co(II) at n1 and n2 and the adenylyl site. For this experiment the enzyme was adenylylated with .epsilon.-ATP. The distances between .epsilon.-adenine and Co(II) at n1 and n2 are .apprx. 13 and .apprx. 11 .ANG., respectively. Quantitation of the paramagnetic effect due to Co(II) on the 31P NMR signal yielded values of 8 and 6 .ANG. for the distances between the P of the covalently bound AMP and the n1 and n2 sites, respectively. The covalent modification site is very close to the catalytic center of the enzyme. In this study both NMR and fluorescence energy transfer techniques were used to determine distances between the same set of sites on an enzyme surface.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
