Abstract
Tryptophanase (Trpase) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent homotetrameric enzyme which catalyzes the degradation of L-tryptophan. Trpase is also known for its cold lability, which is a reversible loss of activity at low temperature (2°C) that is associated with the dissociation of the tetramer. Escherichia coli Trpase dissociates into dimers, while Proteus vulgaris Trpase dissociates into monomers. As such, this enzyme is an appropriate model to study the protein-protein interactions and quaternary structure of proteins. The aim of the present study was to understand the differences in the mode of dissociation between the E. coli and P. vulgaris Trpases. In particular, the effect of mutations along the molecular axes of homotetrameric Trpase on its dissociation was studied. To answer this question, two groups of mutants of the E. coli enzyme were created to resemble the amino-acid sequence of P. vulgaris Trpase. In one group, residues 15 and 59 that are located along the molecular axis R (also termed the noncatalytic axis) were mutated. The second group included a mutation at position 298, located along the molecular axis Q (also termed the catalytic axis). Replacing amino-acid residues along the R axis resulted in dissociation of the tetramers into monomers, similar to the P. vulgaris Trpase, while replacing amino-acid residues along the Q axis resulted in dissociation into dimers only. The crystal structure of the V59M mutant of E. coli Trpase was also determined in its apo form and was found to be similar to that of the wild type. This study suggests that in E. coli Trpase hydrophobic interactions along the R axis hold the two monomers together more strongly, preventing the dissociation of the dimers into monomers. Mutation of position 298 along the Q axis to a charged residue resulted in tetramers that are less susceptible to dissociation. Thus, the results indicate that dissociation of E. coli Trpase into dimers occurs along the molecular Q axis.

Conformational changes and loose packing promote E. coli Tryptophanase cold lability. BMC STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY 2009; 9:65.

Abstract
Background Oligomeric enzymes can undergo a reversible loss of activity at low temperatures. One such enzyme is tryptophanase (Trpase) from Escherichia coli. Trpase is a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent tetrameric enzyme with a Mw of 210 kD. PLP is covalently bound through an enamine bond to Lys270 at the active site. The incubation of holo E. coli Trpases at 2°C for 20 h results in breaking this enamine bond and PLP release, as well as a reversible loss of activity and dissociation into dimers. This sequence of events is termed cold lability and its understanding bears relevance to protein stability and shelf life. Results We studied the reversible cold lability of E. coli Trpase and its Y74F, C298S and W330F mutants. In contrast to the holo E. coli Trpase all apo forms of Trpase dissociated into dimers already at 25°C and even further upon cooling to 2°C. The crystal structures of the two mutants, Y74F and C298S in their apo form were determined at 1.9Å resolution. These apo mutants were found in an open conformation compared to the closed conformation found for P. vulgaris in its holo form. This conformational change is further supported by a high pressure study. Conclusion We suggest that cold lability of E. coli Trpases is primarily affected by PLP release. The enhanced loss of activity of the three mutants is presumably due to the reduced size of the side chain of the amino acids. This prevents the tight assembly of the active tetramer, making it more susceptible to the cold driven changes in hydrophobic interactions which facilitate PLP release. The hydrophobic interactions along the non catalytic interface overshadow the effect of point mutations and may account for the differences in the dissociation of E. coli Trpase to dimers and P. vulgaris Trpase to monomers.

Abstract
When a highly purified preparation of rat liver l-threonine deaminase (l-TDH, EC 4.2.1.16) was 99% inactivated by dialysis, removing bound pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the apoenzyme was reactivated not only by PLP but also by pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP). When purified by HPLC, the commercial PMP used in the incubation mixture was found to contain only extremely small amounts of PLP, which could not account for restoration of l-threonine dehydratase activity. HPLC analysis of the assay mixtures showed that during incubation, sufficient PLP had been formed for reactivation of the apoenzyme. The apoenzyme evidently bound PMP and triggered transamination between PMP and the keto acids, which either contaminated, or were formed by the minimal amount of PLP-holoenzyme always present even in the dialyzed preparation. When sufficient PLP was formed, the PLP-holoenzyme and the original 'true' l-threonine dehydratase activity were restored. When PMP was incubated with the apoenzyme in the presence of small quantities of keto acids (pyruvate or 2-oxobutyrate) small amounts of l-alanine or l-aminobutyrate were formed. The reaction was not reversible; l-alanine and l-aminobutyrate did not react with the PLP-holoenzyme. No transaminating activity occurred with other amino acids. These results show that l-threonine dehydratase exists in two forms: the well known stable apoenzyme-PLP (hydrolase deaminating) and the transient apoenzyme-PMP (non-reversible half-transaminating). Half-transamination has the biological role of keeping the activity of the 'true' l-TDH constant and of regulating intracellular levels of pyruvate, alanine, oxobutyric acid, l-aminobutyric acid, l-threonine and l-serine.

Abstract
We examined the effects on alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase of different aminothiols (L-cysteine, D-cysteine, cysteamine, L-cysteine ethyl ester, L-cysteine methyl ester) and several vitamin B-6 derivatives (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxol, pyridoxol 5'-phosphate), before and after treatment with KOCN, which transforms these molecules into the corresponding carbamoyl derivatives. Only GPT, and not GOT, was specifically inhibited by L-cysteine and, to a lesser extent, by D-cysteine. The association reaction: PLP + apo GPT<-->holo GPT was inhibited by the vitamin B-6 derivatives, and this inhibition was prevented by pretreatment of the vitamin B-6 derivatives with KOCN. All the observed effects occurred at pH 7, 37 degrees C, at mM and even lower concentrations of reagents. Hence, they all potentially play a physiological role, in the regulation of the PLP dependent enzymes and of the vitamin B-6 levels in the cell.

Abstract
A new fluorogenic substrate for the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme tryptophanase is described. L-Serine, which is linked to 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin through an O-carbamoyl tether, serves as a substrate for the enzyme. The released moiety, 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC), can be detected by either absorbance (355 nm) or fluorescence (excitation 365 nm/emission 440 nm). Kinetic constants were measured using each of these techniques: Km = 85 +/- 20 microM, Vmax = 2.9 +/- 0.4 mumol/min/mg (fluorescence) and Km = 129 +/- 21 microM, Vmax = 3.1 +/- 0.3 mumol/min/mg (absorbance). The Vmax for serine-AMC-carbamate is approximately 1.9 times faster than that of the natural substrate, tryptophan. Using fluorescence detection, solutions containing 10(-3) units of activity could be routinely assayed.

Abstract
Tryptophanase from Escherichia coli was oriented in a compressed slab of polyacrylamide gel and its linear dichroism (LD) and absorption spectra have been measured. The free enzyme displays four LD bands at 305, 340, 425 and 490 nm. Two bands at 340 and 425 nm belong to the internal coenzyme-lysine aldimine. The 305-nm band apparently belongs to an aromatic amino acid residue. The 490-nm band disappears after treatment with NaBH4 or after incubation with L-alanine and subsequent dialysis. It is suggested that the 490-nm band belongs to a quinonoid enzyme subform. The reaction of tryptophanase with threo-3-phenyl-DL-serine, L-threonine and D-alanine leads to formation of an external aldimine with an intense absorption band at 420-425 nm. The values of reduced LD (delta A/A) in this band strongly differ from that in the 420-nm band of the free enzyme. The LD value of the complex with D-alanine is intermediate between those of the free enzyme and the complex with 3-phenylserine. In the presence of indole the complex with D-alanine displays the same LD as that observed with 3-phenylserine. The reaction of tryptophanase with L-alanine or oxindolyl-L-alanine leads to formation of a quinonoid intermediate with an absorption band near 500 nm. The LD value in this band is close to that of an external aldimine with L-threonine. It is concluded that reorientations of the coenzyme occur in the course of the tryptophanase reaction.

Abstract
Tryptophanase from E. coli displays positive CD in the coenzyme absorption bands at 337 and 420 nm. Breaking of the internal coenzyme-lysine imine bond upon reaction with hydroxylamine or amino-oxyacetate is accompanied by a strong diminution of the positive CD. Interaction of tryptophanase with L-threonine and beta-phenyl-DL-serine(threo form) leads to a decrease in absorbance at 337 nm and to an increase at 425 nm. This is associated with inversion of the CD sign, i.e. with disappearance of the positive CD in the 420-nm band and its replacement by a negative CD. L-Phenylalanine, alpha-methyl-DL-serine and D-alanine cause an increase in absorbance at 425-430 nm and a diminution of the positive CD in this band. In the presence of D-alanine and indole a negative CD appears in the 400-450 nm region. It is inferred that an external coenzyme-quasisubstrate aldimine is formed on interaction of the above amino acids with the enzyme. L-Alanine and oxindolyl-L-alanine evoke an intense narrow absorption band at 500 nm ascribed to a quinonoid intermediate; a positive CD is observed in this band. The dissymmetry factor delta A/A in the 500-nm band is much smaller than that in the absorption bands of the unliganded enzyme. Inversion of the CD sign on formation of the external aldimine and diminution of the dissymmetry factor in the quinonoid band indicate that reorientations of the coenzyme occur in the course of the catalytic action of tryptophanase.

Abstract
The development of a simple non-isotopic enzymatic assay for plasma pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) using a modified apotryptophanase procedure is reported. Recovery of added PLP from plasma was 86% and the within-run precision of the assay was 6.5%. Between-run precision was 7.5%. Concentrations of cupric ions as low as 20 mumol/L severely inhibited apotryptophanase activity and this effect of copper was almost completely prevented by the addition of EDTA. The reference plasma PLP range obtained by the apotryptophanase method was found to be between 5 and 50 micrograms/L plasma, with a mean of 17 +/- 10 micrograms/L plasma. The assay requires minimum technical skill and, with the aid of a multisample reaction rate analyser, more than 50 samples could easily be handled within a working day.

Abstract
Apotryptophanase (L-tryptophan indole-lyase, EC 4.1.99.1) from Escherichia coli B/1t7A shows, in the presence of potassium phosphate, a temperature-dependent structural rearrangement which is not observed in the presence of sodium phosphate or imidazole plus KC1. This rearrangement can be described by a two-state equilibrium between two forms of the apoenzyme. The midpoint temperature of the rearrangement (TM) and the van't Hoff enthalpy (delta H) at different potassium phosphate concentrations and pH values, respectively, were determined by measuring the temperature-dependence of the ultraviolet absorbance of apotryptophanase. Increasing the potassium phosphate concentration at pH 7.8 causes a simultaneous increase in total absorbance and the delta H value, whereas the TM increases between pH 7.0 and 7.8 but starts to decrease at pH values above 7.8. In 0.1 M potassium phosphate at the pH optimum of the enzyme (7.8) TM and delta H were found to be 293.1 K and 167 kJ X mol-1, respectively. Moreover, the tyrosine residues of apotryptophanase dissociate in potassium phosphate and in imidazole plus KCl with pK values of 8.6 and 9.8, respectively, indicating that potassium phosphate favors the formation of tyrosinate. The rearrangement might be interpreted as the formation of specific hydrogen bonds between tyrosine and potassium phosphate which are ruptured at higher temperature. Such hydrogen bonds cannot be formed at all or only to a small extent in the presence of imidazole plus KCl or sodium phosphate. Those hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure of apotryptophanase. In contrast, holotryptophanase requires only K+ for enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Morino and Snell [Morino, Y., & Snell, E. E. (1967) J. Biol. Chem. 242, 5591-5601] previously showed that the relative amplitudes of the 337- and 420-nm absorption bands of tryptophanase depended on both pH and the nature of a required monovalent cation activator. An investigation of the kinetics of interconversion of the 337- and 420-nm forms following a rapid incremental increase (jump) or decrease (drop) in pH over the range of enzyme stability in 0.2 M KCl at 24 +/- 0.3 degrees C by scanning stopped-flow spectrophotometry showed three distinct time-dependent phases. They were (1) an abrupt phase which is complete in less than 6.5 ms, (2) a fast first-order interconversion of the 420- and 337-nm absorbances, and (3) a slow first-order process involving growth at 355 nm coupled to two decays centered at 325 and 430 nm in the incremental pH jumps and decay at 355 nm with concomitant growth at 430 and 290 nm in the incremental pH-drop experiments. The results of these experiments were analyzed in terms of a scheme involving enzyme forms E alpha, E beta, E beta H+, E gamma, E gamma H+, and E delta. The E alpha form predominates in the absence of activating monovalent cations and absorbs at 420 nm. Those in the beta manifold, E beta and E beta H+, also absorb at 420 nm while those in the gamma manifold, E gamma and E gamma H+, absorb at 337 nm. The form E delta absorbs at 335 nm. E beta H+ and E gamma H+ represent the protonated form of the enzyme in each manifold. Analysis of the abrupt phase showed no significant systematic changes in absorbance above 330 nm for either the pH-jump or pH-drop experiments. The fast second phase involves the first-order interconversion of the beta and gamma manifolds while the slow third phase describes the buildup or decay of the delta manifold. Presumably conformational changes control the rate of these interconversions. The pH dependence of the fast first-order beta to gamma conversion was described and evaluated in terms of five independent equilibrium and rate constants and three independent amplitude terms by simultaneously fitting the amplitude data and first-order rate constants to an equation describing the overall scheme with a nonlinear least-squares program KINFIT4 [Dye, J. L., & Nicely, V. A. (1971) J. Chem. Educ. 48, 443-448]. The pK for protonation of the beta form = 9.70 +/- 0.12, for protonation of the gamma form (337-nm absorber) = 6.77 +/- 0.10, and for the pH-dependent interconversion of the beta and gamma manifolds, pKa = 8.11 +/- 0.04. The computed equilibrium distribution among the four species of the beta and gamma manifolds showed that E beta H+ and E gamma predominate.
