Abstract
The Stichopus japonicus arginine kinase (AK) is a significant dimeric enzyme. Its modification and inactivation course with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and the reactivation course of DTNB-modified AK by dithiothreitol were investigated on the basis of the kinetic theory of the substrate reaction during the modification of enzyme activity. The results show that the modification is a biphasic course while the inactivation is monophasic, with one essential reactive cysteine per subunit. The Cys274 (numbering from the Stichopus sequence) is exposed to DTNB and is near the ATP binding site. The modified AK can be reactivated by an excess concentration of dithiothreitol in a monophasic kinetic course. The presence of ATP or the transition-state analog markedly slows the apparent reactivation rate constant. The analog components, arginine-ADP-Mg2+ can induce conformational changes of the modified enzyme, but adding NO3- cannot induce further changes that occur with the native enzyme. The reactive cysteines' location and its role in the catalysis of AK are discussed. The results suggest that the cysteine may be located in the hinge area of the two domains of AK. The reactive cysteine of AK, which was proposed to be Cys274, may play an important role not in the binding of the transition-state analog but in the conformational changes caused by the transition-state analog.

Abstract
Aggregation of jack bean urease (JBU) is associated with alterations of its biological properties, notably the ureolytic and entomotoxic activities. We investigated the influence of metals on protein oligomerization and biological properties. Besides protein aggregation, Cu(2+) induces inhibition of both ureolytic and insecticidal activities of JBU. Chemical modification of histidine residues in JBU with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) decreases its affinity for Cu(2+) and inhibits oligomerization induced by this metal. Furthermore, this modification protects the insecticidal properties of JBU from being inactivated by Cu(2+). Although DEPC-treated JBU displayed lower ureolytic activity, the modified protein is less susceptible to inhibition by Cu(2+) when compared to native enzyme. Our findings show that Cu(2+) promotes JBU aggregation and differently of other heavy metals studied here, it apparently inhibits the ureolytic activity by inducing protein polymerization along with blockage of sulfhydryl groups.

Abstract
Guanidine hydrochloride-denatured creatine kinase (CK) can very quickly form a dimer with reactivity when the denaturant is diluted into the reaction system in the presence of DTT or EDTA. Tsou's method and its applied equation [Tsou (1988), Adv. Enzymol. Rel. Areas Mol. Biol. 61, 381-436; Yang and Zhou (1998), Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1388, 190-198] were used to measure the kinetic reactivation rate constants and the reactivation degree for reassociated CK dimers. Partial reactivation (about 50% at best) occurred following a monophasic course during the substrate reaction when compared with previous time interval measurements. The reactivation degree increased with increasing DTT (0.1-5 mM) and EDTA (0.1-1 mM) concentrations. The apparent forward rate constants do not change with concentration, showing that the reactivation is a reversible first-order reaction, but not of complex formation type. However, the apparent forward rate constants do change with EDTA concentration, showing that the reactivation with EDTA is a reversible first-order reaction as well as of complex formation type. Excess DTT concentrations have an inhibitory effect, indicating that the excessive EDTA acts as a metal chealate not only for free Mg2+, but also for MgATP during the enzyme catalysis. This study shows that additional information about the reactivation of CK can be obtained from examining the substrate reaction. The possible refolding pathway of CK is discussed.

Abstract
Creatine kinase (ATP: creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3.2) was completely denatured using 3 M guanidine hydrochloride for 2 h as in previous studies [Yao et al. (1982), Sci. Sin. 25B, 1296-1302; Yao et al. (1984), Biochemistry 23, 2740-2744; Yao et al. (1982), Sci. Sin. 25B, 1186-1193]. Under suitable conditions, about 60-70% of the activity can be recovered in the presence of different Mg2+ concentrations. Both the reactivation and the refolding processes follow two-phase courses after dilution in the proper solutions. A comparison of the rate constants for the refolding of unfolded creatine kinase with those for the recovery of its catalytic activity at various Mg2+ concentrations shows that these are not synchronized. The reactivity of guanidine hydrochloride-denatured creatine kinase can be inhibited by Mg2+; however, the rates of reactivation are independent of the Mg2+ concentration. In addition, Mg2+ affects the fluorescence intensity, but the rate constants of refolding are independent of Mg2+ concentration. Although the reactivation of GdHCl-denatured creatine kinase is complete about 3 h after dilution with reactivation solutions, the conformational changes during refolding occur in a much slower reaction. Mg2+ can induce complex changes in the relative fluorescence intensity during refolding over a broad range of concentrations.

Abstract
The reduction of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid)-modified creatine by dithiothreitol has been studied using the kinetic theory of the substrate reaction during modification of enzyme activity as previously described by C.L. Tsou (Adv. Enzymol. Rel. Areas Mol. Biol. 61 (1988) 381-436). The results show that the modified creatine kinase can be fully reactivated by an excess concentration of dithiothreitol in a monophasic kinetic course. The presence of ATP or the transition-state analogue markedly slows the apparent reactivation rate constant, while creatine shows no effect. The substrates creatine-ADP-Mg2+ can induce conformational changes of the modified enzyme but adding NO-3 cannot induce further changes that occur with the native enzyme. The reactive cysteines' location and role in the catalysis of creatine kinase are discussed. It is suggested that the cysteine may be located in the hinge area of the two domains of creatine kinase. The reactive cysteine of creatine kinase may play an important role not in the binding to the transition-state analogue but in the conformational changes caused by the transition-state analogue.

Abstract
Phenylglyoxal is an arginine-specific reagent that inactivates creatine kinase (CK). Previous results suggest that modification of the dimeric enzyme at a single arginine residue per subunit causes complete inactivation accompanied by the loss of nucleotide binding; the actual site of modification was not identified. Here, high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used to identify three phenylglyoxal-modified Arg residues in monomeric rabbit muscle CK. Electrospray ionizaton Fourier-transform MS of the phenylglyoxal-modified CK that had lost approximately 80% activity identified three species: unmodified, once-modified (+116 Da), and twice-modified (+232 Da) enzyme in a ratio of approximately 1:4:1. MS/MS restricts the derivatized sites to P122-P212 and P283-V332, whereas MS of Lys-C digestions revealed two modified peptides, A266-K297 and G116-K137. The only Arg in A266-K297 is Arg-291 (invariant), whereas MS/MS of modified G116-K137 shows that two of the three sites Arg-129, Arg-131, or Arg-134 (all invariant) can contain the modification. The recently reported x-ray crystal structure for the octameric chicken mitochondrial CK indicates that its nucleotide triphosphate-binding site indeed contains the equivalent of R291, R129, and R131 reported here to be at the active site of rabbit muscle CK.

Abstract
Conformational changes induced by nucleotide binding to native creatine kinase (CK) from rabbit muscle and to proteinase-K-digested (nicked) CK, were investigated by infrared spectroscopy. Photochemical release of ATP from ATP[Et(PhNO2)] in the presence of creatine and native CK produced reaction-induced difference infrared spectra (RIDS) of CK related to structural changes of the enzyme that paralleled the reversible phosphoryl transfer from ATP to creatine. Similarly the photochemical release of ADP from ADP[Et(PhNO2)] in the presence of phosphocreatine and native CK allowed us to follow the backward reaction and its corresponding RIDS. Infrared spectra of native CK indicated that carboxylate groups of Asp or Glu, and some carbonyl groups of the peptide backbone are involved in the enzymatic reaction. Native and proteinase nicked CK have similar Stokes' radii, tryptophan fluorescence, fluorescence fraction accessible to iodide, and far-ultraviolet CD spectra, indicating that native and modified enzymes have the same quaternary structures. However, infrared data showed that the binding site of the gamma-phosphate group of the nucleotide was affected in nicked CK compared with that of the native CK. Furthermore, the infrared absorptions associated with ionized carboxylate groups of Asp or Glu amino acid residues were different in nicked CK and in native CK.

Abstract
The conformations of arginine kinase (AK) in AK x Mg x ADP, AK x Mg x ATP, AK x Mg x ADP x NO3-, AK x Mg x ADP x Arg and AK x Mg x ADP x NO3- x Arg complexes were investigated by measuring their reaction-induced infrared difference spectra (RIDS). The photochemical release of ATP from ATP[Et(PhNO2)] and of ADP from ADP[Et(PhNO2)] produced distinct RIDS of AK complexes, suggesting that binding of ADP and ATP promoted different structural alterations of the enzyme active-site. Small infrared changes in the amide-I region were observed, indicating that about 5-10 amino acid residues were involved in the nucleotide-binding site. These infrared changes were due to the structural alteration of the peptide backbone caused by the nucleotide-binding and to the coupling effects between the nucleotide-binding site and the other substrate (Arg or NO3-)-binding site. ATP binding to AK (as well as ADP-binding to AK in the presence of NO3-) induced protonation of a carboxylate group of Asp or Glu, as evidenced by the appearance of the 1733-cm(-1) band, which was not observed with the AK x Mg x ADP, AK x Mg x ADP x Arg and AK x Mg x ADP x NO3- x Arg complexes. The RIDS of the AK x Mg x ADP x NO3- x Arg complex showed new infrared bands at 1622 cm(-1) (negative) and at 1613 cm(-1) (positive), which were not seen in the RIDS of other complexes (without NO3- or/and Arg). In the transition-state-analog complex of AK, no protonation of the carboxylate residue (Asp or Glu) was observed, and the binding site of NO3- or the gamma-phosphate group of nucleotide was altered.

Abstract
Light-induced release of ADP and ATP from their respective caged nucleotides produced small distinct difference infrared spectra of creatine kinase (CK), indicating that ADP and ATP binding to CK promoted different structural alteration. The positive band at 1638-1640 cm-1 and the negative band at about 1650-1652 cm-1 on the reaction-induced infrared difference spectra in the amide I region were insensitive to the deuteration effects. They were assigned to the peptide backbone of the ADP/ATP-binding site. In addition Pi or ATP binding produced another positive band at 1657-1659 cm-1 corresponding to the C = O (amide I band) associated with the gamma-phosphate of ATP. This site was also affected when ADP was added, indicating coupling interactions between both sites. No additional structural changes were observed when creatine and ADP were added, suggesting that the creatine-binding site was uncoupled from the ADP-binding site. The infrared difference spectra of a transition-state-analog complex formed by the addition of ADP, creatine and NO3- (a planar-phosphate-mimicking group) lacked the 1657-1659-cm-1 band indicating that the binding site of gamma-phosphate within CK, was not affected. Infrared changes in the 1560-1590-cm-1 region suggested that carboxylate groups of Asp or Glu were involved in the binding of Pi, ADP and ATP.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to alter the amino-acid residues at the presumed catalytic site Cys-283 and ATP binding site Asp-340 of human creatine kinase B cDNA. In addition, a highly conserved arginine residue, Arg-292, was also mutated. Transfection of 0.1 to 1 microgram of recombinant plasmid into COS cells produced increasing creatine kinase activity in the cell lysate. The expression of mutant Cys283-Tyr and Cys283-Ser resulted in complete abolition of homodimer BB isoform enzymatic activity without alteration of the capacity for dimerization. Expression of mutants Arg292-His, Arg292-Leu, and Arg292-Gln produced non-functional homodimers, whereas expression of mutant Arg292-Lys produced a homodimer with enzymatic activity that was 42% of the enzymatic activity of the wild type. Expression of the Asp340-Glu mutant creatine kinase did not alter enzyme activity as compared to the wild type. Following heterodimerization, there was inhibition of the normal subunit by the mutant subunit, for both the BB and the MB dimer. The results showed residues Cys-283 and Arg-292 are essential for enzyme catalysis. The best fit model for the dimer is one in which there is close apposition of the two catalytic sites. The interaction of the individual subunits during dimerization provides a molecular approach for dominant negative modulation of the creatine kinase isozyme system in future genetic manipulative experiments.

Abstract
Creatine kinase modified by S-methyl methanethiosulfonate and devoid of reactive thiol group has been reported to retain about 18-40% of the activity of the native enzyme. It has now been found that during the reaction catalyzed by the modified enzyme the rate increases with time and if the reaction is allowed to continue sufficiently long, the enzyme eventually recovers full activity. The presence of substrates is not required for the reactivation as suitable dilution after removal of MMTS in excess leads to complete reactivation of the MMTS modified enzyme with the simultaneous regeneration of reactive thiol per each dimeric molecule as shown by determinations with DTNB and IAN. The addition of MMTS during the course of reactivation again inactivates the reactivated enzyme. The activity recovery is therefore due to the regeneration of reactive thiol and it appears that the active-site thiols are essential for the activity of rabbit muscle creatine kinase.

Abstract
It has been previously reported that, during denaturation of creatine kinase by guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) or urea [Tsou (1986), Trends Biochem. Sci. 11, 427-429], inactivation occurs before noticeable conformational change can be detected, and it is suggested that the conformation at the active site is more easily perturbed and hence more flexible than the molecule as a whole. In this study, the thiol and amino groups at or near the active site of creatine kinase are labelled with o-phthalaldehyde to form a fluorescent probe. Both the emission intensity and anisotropy decrease during denaturation indicating exposure of this probe and increased mobility of the active site. The above conformational changes take place together with enzyme inactivation at lower GdmCl concentrations than required to bring about intrinsic fluorescence changes of the enzyme. At the same GdmCl concentration, the rate of exposure of the probe is comparable with that of inactivation and is several orders of magnitude faster than that for the unfolding of the molecule as a whole.

Abstract
The pyruvate carrier, of molecular mass 34 kDa, was purified from mitochondria isolated from rat liver, rat brain, and bovine heart, by affinity chromatography on immobilized 2-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate. Its activity after reconstitution in phosphatidylcholine vesicles was measured either as uptake of [1-14C]pyruvate or as exchange with different 2-oxoacids. All preparations exhibited similar apparent Km values for pyruvate, but somewhat different V(max) values. The ability to exchange different anions of physiological significance, including branched-chain 2-oxoacids, confirmed the known substrate specificity described for the pyruvate carrier in mitochondria. The sensitivity of pyruvate transport toward phenylglyoxal suggested an important role of arginyl residues in the transport activity, while a role of lysyl and histidyl residues was not confirmed.

Abstract
Myosin and creatine kinase were co-immobilized onto Immunodyne films to mimic the behaviour of creatine kinase bound to the M-line of myofilaments. The Mg-ATPase activity of bound myosin was studied by a coupled enzymatic assay, which detects Mg-ADP in the bulk solution by means of pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. The competition for Mg-ADP between pyruvate kinase and creatine kinase either free in solution or co-immobilized with myosin was studied at various creatine phosphate concentrations. Bound creatine kinase competed efficiently when present in very low amounts, corresponding to an activity ratio higher than 1:20,000 between creatine kinase and pyruvate kinase and a molar ratio higher than 1:1000 between creatine kinase and myosin. The Mg-ADP produced by myosin ATPase in the vicinity of the film did not diffuse into the bulk solution but, in the presence of creatine phosphate, was recycled into Mg-ATP by the neighbouring creatine kinase. The existence of an unstirred layer near the surface of the film is sufficient to explain the channeling of ADP (or ATP) between co-immobilized myosin and creatine kinase, without direct interaction or 'intimate coupling' between the enzymes. The problem now is to determine the importance of this kind of facilitated diffusion in the myofilaments in vivo.

Abstract
The distance between 5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride (dansyl chloride or DNS-Cl) attached to Tyr-69 and N-[[4-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]azo]phenyl]maleimide (DABMI) or N-[4-(dimethylamino)-3,5-dinitrophenyl]maleimide (DDPM) attached to Cys-374 in an actin monomer was measured to be 2.51 nm or 2.27 +/- 0.04 nm, respectively, by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. This distance does not change significantly when the actin monomer binds DNase I, when the monomer is polymerized, when the polymer interacts with myosin subfragment 1, or when it interacts with tropomyosin-troponin in the presence and absence of Ca2+. Changes in the distance were within 0.1 nm. The results indicate that the structure of the region involving Tyr-69 and Cys-374 is substantially rigid. A large blue shift (about 15 nm) of the fluorescence spectrum and a large increase (about 80%) in the fluorescence intensity of DNS-actin were observed when DNS-actin was denatured upon addition of EDTA. On the other hand, a red shift (about 7 nm) of the fluorescence spectrum and a large decrease (about 50%) in the fluorescence intensity were observed when DNS-actin was completely unfolded in 8 M urea. The results indicate that dansyl chromophore becomes less exposed to the aqueous environment by EDTA denaturation in contradiction to the case of intrinsic tryptophan residues in G-actin. Resonance energy transfer measurements showed that the distance between probes attached to Tyr-69 and Cys-374 on an actin monomer changes by 0.37 nm during EDTA denaturation, but that the distance becomes longer than 4.0 nm in 8 M urea in which no energy transfer is observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetimes of dimeric rabbit muscle creatine kinase specifically dansylated at both active sites and the homologous monomeric lobster muscle arginine kinase singly dansylated were determined using phase-modulation methods with global analysis of overdetermined data sets. For both proteins, the data is adequately described by three discrete exponential decays or a Lorentzian double distributed decay. Analogue phase resolved spectroscopy also reveals the presence of at least two distinct fluorophore domains for the dansyl moieties of creatine kinase. The model fluorophore, dansyllysine, exhibits a monoexponential decay with a value that is highly solvent dependent. Because the monomeric arginine kinase exhibits essentially the same decay law as doubly derivatized dimeric creatine kinase, it is proposed that the multiple lifetimes of creatine kinase reflect two or more isomeric dimeric states and not subunit asymmetry within a conformationally homogeneous dimeric population. Exposure of arginine kinase to 6 M guanidinium chloride results in a shift to shorter lifetimes and narrowing of the lifetime distributions. Creatine kinase displays a small narrowing of the distribution, but little change in fractional populations or lifetimes. These results suggest the presence of structural elements resistant to denaturation. The longest lifetime component in the triexponential discrete decay law of doubly dansylated creatine kinase is totally unquenched by acrylamide, whereas the two shorter lifetime components exhibit limited dynamic quenching. Steady-state quenching by acrylamide is significant and reveals a sharp distinction between accessible and non accessible dansyl groups. The major mechanism for interaction between the dansyl moieties and acrylamide is, atypically, static quenching. The results are consistent with two dansyl domains, one accessible and hydrophilic according to lifetime values and the other inaccessible and hydrophobic in solvent characteristics.Energy transfer between the dansyl group and the eight tryptophan residues of dimeric creatine kinase give similar results(~ 35%) from measurements of lifetimes, steady-state donor quenching and sensitized acceptor emission. The similarity suggests that the overall flexibility of the dimeric protein is limited. The occurrence of multiple conformers of muscle creatine kinase provides an explanation for several previous observations, most notably the structural origins for compartmentation of the muscle isozyme observed in the myofibril.

Abstract
A comparison of specific structural features of creatine kinase from rabbit muscle and brain was undertaken to determine if the observed isozyme specific differences in catalytic cooperativity are related to conformational differences, particularly differences in packing density. The intrinsic fluorescence of the brain isozyme is 2-fold higher than the muscle isozyme. In the denatured state, both proteins display the characteristic red shift in emission maximum; however, the emission intensity of the brain isozyme increases only 5% upon denaturation compared to nearly 100% increase for the muscle protein. The fluorescence lifetimes are 2.65 ns (67%) and 0.48 ns for native muscle enzyme and 4.38 ns (65%) and 0.80 ns for brain enzyme. Upon denaturation, the lifetimes are 3.98 ns (77%) and 0.99 ns for muscle protein and 3.82 ns (79%) and 0.86 ns for brain protein. Stern-Volmer plots of quenching by acrylamide are essentially the same for both native isozymes indicating that the differences of the intrinsic fluorescence of the native proteins are not due to differences in solvent accessibility. The spectral and lifetime differences in the isozymes in the native state and changes accompanying denaturation are consistent with the occurrence of energy transfer in native muscle isozyme. The rotational correlation times of 5-[2-(iodoacetyl)aminoethyl]aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonate conjugated proteins, derivatized at the active site reactive thiol, are best described by two term decay laws. The slower rotations, 45.1 ns (75%) and 40.6 ns (71%) reflect overall macromolecular rotation for the muscle and brain isozymes, respectively. The faster motions, 2.4 ns for muscle isozyme and 0.4 ns for the brain isozyme, are attributed to the probe or probe associated segmental motions and indicate these motions are more restricted in the muscle protein. Reactivity of creatine kinase (2.5-10 microM) with the amino-specific reagent trinitrobenzene sulfonate (0.4-2 mM) was analyzed by pseudo-first-order and second order models, neither of which was adequate for the entire range of data. However, in every case, the rate constants were faster for brain creatine kinase but the extent of reaction was greater for muscle creatine kinase. The faster initial reactivity of the brain isozyme is consistent with greater accessibility for lysine derivatization.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Resonance energy transfer was measured between the active site domains of the brain isozyme of creatine kinase (CK-BB). The reactive thiol near the active sites, one on each subunit of the dimeric protein, was derivatized using 5-[2-[iodoacetyl)amino)ethyl]aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (AED), 2-[4'-iodoacetamidoanilino]naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid (AANS) and 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein (AF). Suitable donor/acceptor protein conjugated hybrids were prepared by controlled kinetics producing CK-BB-AED/AF and CK-BB-AANS/AF. Transfer efficiencies, measured from the quenching of the donor lifetime and steady-state sensitized acceptor emission, ranged from 0.10 to 0.17. From determination of the donor/acceptor overlap integrals, donor quantum yields and attempts to delimit the orientation factor using steady-state and phase-resolved anisotropy measurements, it was found that a suitable estimate of the range between the active sites was between 45 and 57 A. This range is similar to that reported previously for the muscle isozyme of creatine kinase (Grossman, S.H. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4894-4902) but is a significantly greater distance than detected for the hybrid, myocardial specific isozyme (Grossman, S.H. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 5369-5375).

Abstract
The dimeric rabbit muscle isozyme of creatine kinase (MM) is modified by iodoacetamide to produce the inactive dimer (M'M') and then hybridized with native dimeric brain isozyme (BB). The hybrid enzyme (M'B), as isolated by PAGE, has the same Km for both ATP and creatine but half the specific activity of the brain isozyme (BB). Likewise, the hybrid of the modified brain with the native muscle isozyme (MB') has half the activity of the native muscle enzyme. The M'B, MB' and MB hybrid dimers all have essentially the same electrophoretic properties, and their intrinsic fluorescence and CD spectra in the far-ultraviolet region are very similar to those of the homodimers MM and BB. Similar results were obtained for the hybrid (M"B) containing the muscle enzyme subunit modified at both the thiol group with iodoacetamide and the Trp residue with dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)sulfonium bromide and the native brain enzyme submit. The above results suggest strongly the independent catalytic function of the subunit of creatine kinase.

Abstract
Creatine kinase modified by mercurials has been reported to be fully reactive as the native enzyme. This was ascribed to the modification of a second class of thiol groups instead of the reactive thiols at the active site (Laue, M.C. and Quiocho, F.A. (1977) Biochemistry 16, 3838-3845). It has now been shown by spectrophotometric titration and fluorescence studies that 2-chloromercuri-4-nitrophenol (MNP) reacts preferentially with the active-site thiol. Moreover, if the activity of the modified enzyme is determined in the absence of added bovine serum albumin or other enzymes, as usually employed in coupled activity assay systems for creatine kinase, the modified enzyme is completely inactive. Addition of an excess of bovine serum albumin or rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase restores the activity of the enzyme to over 80% of its original level. It appears that the active thiol groups at the active site of creatine kinase are after all modified by MNP with complete inactivation.

Abstract
Resonance energy transfer between the reactive thiols of rabbit muscle creatine kinase was evaluated. The reactive thiols are located at the active site, one occurring on each subunit of the dimeric protein that is known to be a constituent of the M-line structure of the myofibril. Transfer efficiency was evaluated from energy donor quenching of fluorescence by steady-state and phase-modulation lifetime measurements and determination of sensitized emission of the acceptor. Several sulfhydryl-specific donor fluorophores were used including 5-[[[(iodoacetyl)amino]ethyl]amino]naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid, 7-(dimethylamino)-3-(4-maleimidylphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin, and 2-[4-(iodoacetamido)anilino]naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid (IAANS). Energy transfer acceptors included 5-(iodoacetamido)fluorescein and the nonfluorescent dye [4-[[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]azo]phenyl]iodoacetamide. In order to prepare the necessary homodimer labeled with both donor and acceptor, advantage was taken of the biphasic reaction between creatine kinase and IAANS. In some instances, donor/acceptor hybrids were prepared by denaturation/renaturation procedures, and possible deviations from expected hybridization stoichiometry were considered. Disproportionation of singly labeled dimers (to unlabeled and doubly labeled dimers) was not observed when the brain isozyme of creatine kinase was used to trap dissociated dye-conjugated or unlabeled muscle-type subunits of creatine kinase. From studies of five different donor/acceptor combinations, the efficiency of energy transfer was found to occur over a range of 5-14%, indicating that the reactive thiols are well separated. Overlap integrals and quantum yields were evaluated, and estimates of the range of orientation factor were obtained to determine a range for the distance between the active sites of creatine kinase. When the ranges are overlapped, a limited distance of 48.6-60.4 A is obtained.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
It has been shown that the active dicyano derivative of creatine kinase (ATP:creatine N-phosphotransferase) obtained by cyanolysis of the 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)-modified and inactivated enzyme contains, as does the native enzyme, two reactive SH groups. Modification of these two SH groups leads to complete inactivation of the dicyano enzyme. Reaction with 4-iodoacetamido-1-naphthol introduces fluorescent labels at these reactive SH groups of the native and the dicyano enzymes. Following tryptic digestion, the respective fluorescent-labelled peptides have been separated by HPLC and the amino acid composition analysis of these peptides has shown that they are consistent with the sequence of the peptide segment containing the active-site SH of Cys-282 of creatine kinase for both the native and the dicyano enzymes, showing that the active SH groups are free in the dicyano enzyme. Upon mild denaturation in 3 M urea, it can be shown that two of the SH groups partially buried in the native enzyme have been cyanylated in the dicyano enzyme. The two reactive SH groups are therefore essential for the activity of creatine kinase and the two cyanylated SH groups are internal groups which probably contributes partially to the stabilization of an active conformation of the enzyme molecule.

Abstract
The effects of components of the transition state analog (creatine, MgADP, planar anion) on the kinetics and conformation of creatine kinase isozyme BB from monkey brain was studied. From analysis of the reaction time course using the pH stat assay, it was shown that during accumulation of the reaction products (ADP and creatine phosphate), among several anions added, nitrate proved the most effective in inhibiting catalytic activity. Maximum inhibition (77%) was achieved with 50 mM nitrate. The Km for ATP was 0.48 mM and in the presence of 2.5 mM nitrate, 2.2 mM; for ATP in the presence of the dead-end complex, creatine and ADP, the apparent Km was 2.0 mM and the Ki was 0.16 mM; in the presence of the transition state analog, MgADP + NO3- + creatine, the Ki was estimated to be 0.04 mM. Ultraviolet difference spectra of creatine kinase revealed significant differences only in the presence of the complete mixture of the components of the transition state analog. Comparison of gel filtration elution profiles for creatine kinase in the absence and presence of the complete mixture of components of the transition state analog did not reveal any differences in elution volume. Addition of components of the transition state analog to creatine kinase resulted in only a marginal change in intrinsic fluorescence. The presence of the components of the transition state analog increased the rate of reactivity of the enzyme with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid from k = 6.06 +/- 0.05 M-1 min-1 to 6.96 +/- 0.11 M-1 min-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A proline-rich glycoprotein (PRG) was isolated from human parotid saliva and examined by circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Addition of guanidine hydrochloride to PRG labeled with an extrinsic dansyl probe had no effect on the fluorescence spectra's 511 nm lambda-max location. Thermodynamic calculations supported the contention that PRG has no significant tertiary structure. Circular dichroism results for PRG were simulated by computer and a secondary structure composed of 70% random coil and 30% beta-form conformation was predicted. Circular dichroism of PRG failed to detect either poly-L-proline type I or II structures. Deglycosylation of PRG had no measurable effect on the circular dichroism spectrum, indicating that the carbohydrate side chains had little influence on PRG secondary structure. Based upon mathematical calculations, beta-turns were predicted around three glycosylated Asn residues of PRG. These collective data suggest that PRG is composed of a disordered polypeptide chain with at least three of the N-linked Asn residues participating in some type of beta-turn.

Abstract
The tryptophan residues in rabbit muscle creatine kinase (ATP:creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3.2) have been modified by dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl) sulfonium bromide after reversible protection of the reactive SH groups. The modification of two tryptophan residues as measured by spectrophotometric titration leads to complete loss of enzymatic activity. Control experiments show that reversible protection of the reactive SH groups as S-sulfonates followed by reduction results in nearly quantitative recovery of enzyme activity. The presence of a 410 nm absorption maximum and the decrease in fluorescence of the modified enzyme indicate the modification of tryptophan residues. At the same time, SH determinations after reduction of the modified enzyme show that the reagent has not affected the protected SH groups. Quantitative treatment of the data (Tsou, C.-L. (1962) Sci. Sin. 11, 1535 1558) shows that among the tryptophan residues modified, one is essential for its catalytic activity. The presence of substrates partially protects the modification of tryptophan residues as well as the inactivation, suggesting that the essential tryptophan residue is situated at the active site of this enzyme.

Abstract
Upon exposure to 8 M urea, creatine kinase from rabbit muscle exhibited a rapid increase in intrinsic fluorescence and a rapid decrease in fluorescence polarization. Polarization changes were complete after 5 min, while fluorescence changes continued for at least 15 min. Fluorescence polarization changes accompanying reassembly were complex, and appeared to involve a concentration dependent reaction. Enzyme sampled at intervals during denaturation exhibited refolding kinetics displaying two first-order rate constants, the first dependent and the second independent of the duration of exposure to urea. There was evidence for an additional renaturation step, occurring within the mixing phase of the denatured protein with solvent. Reactivation kinetics and yield of reactivated enzyme exhibited a dependency upon length of exposure to denaturant. The exposure of renaturing creatine kinase to trypsin was shown to prevent further reactivation, and provided use of a method to determine reactivation rates at discrete intervals after initiation of reassembly. The presence of 2 mM MgADP during reactivation enhanced the rate of reactivation immediately after initiation of reactivation. Reactivation was not accelerated if nucleotide substrate was added after reactivation was initiated nor did nucleotide substrate increase the overall reactivation yield. The presence of MgADP also enhanced the rate of refolding at an early stage as judged by changes in intrinsic fluorescence and resistance to tryptic hydrolysis. While in addition to MgADP, creatine phosphate accelerated resistance by refolding creatine kinase to trypsin, according to the other criteria measured, the phosphagen substrates did not promote reactivation or renaturation. The unfolding-refolding studies and role of substrate in reassembly were consistent with a mechanism involving at least two steps, possibly involving cis-trans isomerization of proline. These data also supported the suggestion that the formation of the nucleotide binding region is an early event in the refolding of creatine kinase in vitro.

Abstract
Upon exposure of rabbit muscle creatine kinase (ATP: creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3.2) that has been dansylated at the two reactive lysines to 8 M urea, the maximum emission of the extrinsic fluorophore shifts 4 nm towards the blue, this being accompanied by a small decrease in intensity. The fluorescence emission and excitation spectra of the reassembled and native proteins are the same. Denaturation is accompanied by a rapid decrease in fluorescence which is complete in 10 s. This suggests that denaturation is accompanied by an early disorganization at the catalytic center, where the reactive lysines are located. Reassembly is associated with a rapid increase in dansyl fluorescence followed by a slower decrease that is complete in 6 min. Since reactivation is not complete until 20 min, minor additional structural changes are needed for the reacquisition of catalytic activity. The intrinsic protein fluorescence (eight tryptophans per dimer) of dansylated creatine kinase is approximately 60% less than that of the unlabelled enzyme, which may be attributed to resonance energy transfer, indicating that the reactive lysine is located near one or more of the tryptophans. A more limited quenching of intrinsic fluorescence is observed when dansylated creatine kinase is exposed to 8 M urea. Reassembly, monitored by a decrease in intrinsic fluorescence, reveals that the dansylated protein achieves its final fluorescence after 18 min of renaturation compared with 30 min for unlabelled enzyme. The powerful quenching by the dansyl group may limit the ability to monitor changes in the tryptophan environment. Kinetics of fluorescence polarization changes during denaturation are consistent with a mechanism involving rapid dissociation, followed by a subunit disorganization and possible aggregation. Reassembly would appear to involve first a refolding of the disorganized monomers and subsequent association. These results correspond to our previous observations that subunit renaturation precedes dimerization.

Abstract
Creatine kinase from rabbit muscle, a dimeric protein of molecular weight 81,000, was crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. The time course of the reaction was monitored by inhibition of activity, fluorescence polarization, and electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide slab gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate. Inactivation is complete in 40 min. ADP (1.2 mM) decreases the rate but does not prevent complete inactivation. Fluorescence polarization analysis of N-dansylaziridyl creatine kinase suggests the formation of high molecular weight oligomers. This is confirmed through electrophoretic molecular weight analysis, which demonstrates the formation of products with molecular weight greater than 150,000 throughout the course of reaction with glutaraldehyde. During crosslinking at least three other products appear with apparent molecular weights of 150,000, 95,000, and 85,000. The 150,000 and 95,000 molecular weight products are transient, disappearing after 40 min of exposure to glutaraldehyde. Monomers of 40,000 molecular weight have also been eliminated by 40 min. The 85,000 molecular weight product, which is not present until 10 min after crosslinking, is the only product other than oligomers present at 60 min of crosslinking. These two products are separated by gel filtration. The isolated 85,000 molecular weight protein exhibits absorption and fluorescence spectra identical to those of noncrosslinked creatine kinase. Upon denaturation in 8 M urea, the noncrosslinked and crosslinked preparations undergo a 2.8-fold and 2.0-fold increase, respectively, in intrinsic protein fluorescence. Since crosslinked enzyme is incapable of dissociation upon denaturation, the difference in fluorescence (28%) between crosslinked and noncrosslinked protein in denaturant may be attributed to the contribution of dissociation to the total fluorescence change resulting from denaturation. The kinetics of reassembly of both preparations exhibit a rapid, initial decrease in fluorescence, followed by a slower, more protracted decline until the level of fluorescence of the undenatured proteins is achieved. The decrease in fluorescence during the first phase of reassembly is 93 and 72% of the total fluorescence change for crosslinked and noncrosslinked enzyme, respectively. Since, the magnitude of these changes is considerably greater than the fluorescence change attributed to association of subunits, the first kinetic phase cannot reflect dimerization, and most probably constitutes the refolding of subunits. The second, slower phase of reassembly, which is approximately 28% of the fluorescence change observed in the reassembly of noncrosslinked enzyme, but only 7% for crosslinked species, may be assigned to reassociation.

Abstract
Creatine kinase is present in significant concentrations in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle and to a lesser extent in gastrointestinal tract and brain tissue. The enzyme has been purified from a variety of tissues and an examination of its kinetic and physical properties reveal that the enzyme consists of two subunits and can exist as three isoenzymes containing essential cysteine residues. These properties are important in understanding its stability, the assay conditions, and the techniques used to identify the different isoenzymes. The relationship between the properties and the determination of the enzyme in biological fluids will be a main thrust of the review. Creatine kinase activity in serum rises rapidly in conditions such as acute myocardial infarction and trauma to skeletal muscle. However, the interpretation of such increases is dependent upon a sound knowledge of the factors which influence both the total and isoenzyme activities. The nature of these factors will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
1. An ATP analogue with a photoactivated azide group attached to the gamma-phosphate via an amide bond, ATP gamma-p-azidoanilide, appeared to have potential use as a photoaffinity label for the nucleotide-binding regions of ATP: guanidine phosphotransferases. Upon photolysis in the presence of lobster muscle arginine kinase and rabbit muscle creatine kinase, the analogue is converted to a potent inhibito of these two kinases. This photo-dependent inhibition is specific as it cannot be induced by azidoaniline, a mixture of azidoaniline and ATP or by ATP gamma-p-aminoanilide. Preirradiated under suitable conditions, the photoanalogue still shows a transitory inhibitory effect which, however, slowly vanishes with time (t0.5 = 3 h). 2. The photoinhibition is significantly decreased by the presence of ATP or ADP but is completely prevented by the addition of a mixture of nucleotide and guanidine substrates. Differential spectroscopy and affinity chromatography on Sepharose-ATP demonstrated the inability of photoinactivated arginine kinase and creatine kinase to recognize their nucleotide substrates. 3. Experiments with [14C]ATP gamma-p-azidoanilide indicated that photolysis is associated with an irreversible and stoichiometric binding of the ATP analogue to the enzymes. Autoradiographs made with the peptide maps corresponding to the tryptic digests of each 14C-labelled photomodified enzyme showed an unexpected highly specific labelling of the proteins. 4. Thiiol titrations of the kinases which have been subjected to various photolysis conditions led to the conclusion that the arylnitrene moiety of the photoanalogue is covalently attached to the single reactive cysteinyl side chain present in the active-site region of the two homologous kinases. This amino acid residue appears, therefore, to be located near the phosphate chain binding subsite occupied by the ATP analogue and probably also by the natural nucleotide substrates.

Abstract
Creating kinase (ATP: creatine N-phosphotransferase) is completely inhibited by low molecular weight iodoalkanes in a pseudo first order reaction. Analysis of this and other data suggests that covalent modification per se is not a sufficient criterion to establish whether or not an enzyme group is essential for catalysis.

Abstract
Previously, a proteolipid that can bind glutamate with high affinity has been isolated from pig heart mitochondrial membranes. A final affinity chromatography on gamma-methylglutamate-albumin coreticulated on glass fiber was necessary. This procedure includes long dialysis steps which tend to denature the high-glutamate affinity proteolipid. Here is described a new method of isolation which avoids long dialysis steps and yields greater amounts of the high-glutamate affinity proteolipid. The binding of glutamate or aspartate on high-glutamate affinity proteolipid has been studied by gel filtration, by equilibrium dialysis or by a new procedure of rapid centrifugation based on the insolubility of high-glutamate affinity proteolipid in water. The latter method permits the detection of low and high affinity sites for glutamate with a Kd 60 mM and 55 muM, respectively. Among a series of analogues, aspartate appeared to be the best competitor: Kd = 30 muM and two Ki values, 0.37 mM (at high glutamate concentration) and 3.8 muM (at low glutamate concentration). High-glutamate affinity proteolipid binds 0.4 nmol of glutamate but only 0.1 nmol of aspartate per mg protein. The sites for glutamate and aspartate appear to be different but interdependent. In the presence of high-glutamate affinity proteolipid, externally added glutamate stimulated the efflux of aspartate from preloaded liposomes. High-glutamate affinity proteolipid contains cardiolipin, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine the distribution of which is different from that of the inner membrane. The effects of various phospholipases, trypsin, and thiol reagents were studied on the binding of glutamate. High-glutamate affinity proteolipid binds 9 nmol N-ethylmaleimide per mg protein but only 6.1 nmol in the presence of glutamate. The dissociation of high-glutamate affinity proteolipid caused by thiol reagents yielded a soluble protein fraction with higher affinity for glutamate. Electrophoresis and an immunological approach allowed the detection and titration of the glutamate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase present in high-glutamate affinity proteolipid in inhibited forms, the latter being 26-fold more concentrated than the former.

Abstract
The essential tyrosine residue of Lobster muscle arginine kinase, which is part of an antigenic determinant, has been modified by tetranitromethane. Cleavage of the S-carboxymethylated nitrated enzyme with cyanogen bromide gives rise to eight peptides, one of which containing the labelled essential tyrosyl group. Ion exchange chromatography on sulfoethyl-Sephadex C-25 in urea medium has been used with success for isolation and purification of the nitrated peptide. From its amino acid composition and end groups structure this peptide is the N-terminal fragment of the protein.

Abstract
New reagents for the temporary blocking of active or accessible sulfhydryl groups of enzymes have been developed. These reagents, which are either alkyl alkanethiolsulfonates or alkoxycarbonylalkyl disulfides, rapidly and quantitatively place various RS- groups on the sulfhydryls to generate mixed disulfides. In all cases native enzymes can be regenerated with either dithiothreitol or beta-mercaptoethanol. In general the temporary blocking groups also afford total protection against normally inhibitory thiol blocking agents. When RS- groups were attached to rabbit muscle creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), a trend toward lower residual activities with increasing bulk was observed. Treatment of the native creatine kinase with 14CH3HgC1 led to incorporation of greater than 1 equiv of CH3Hg- group per subunit. This CH3Hg- blocked enzyme was fully active, and the blocking group afforded no protection against iodoacetamide. These results suggest that CH3Hg- and the RS- groups are modifying two different sulhydryl groups on the enzyme. When papain (EC 3.4.4.10) was treated with excess methyl methanethiolsulfonate. complete and rapid inhibition was observed, and 1 equiv of CH3S- was incorporated/mol of active enzyme. Complete protection against normally inhibitory 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) was afforded by the temporary blocking group. When rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12) was titrated with methyl methanethiolsulfonate, two sulfhydryl groups per subunit were found to be modified, one much more rapidly than the other. If one extrapolates the initial slope of the titration curve, the inactivation of the enzyme would be complete after modification of a single cysteinyl residue per subunit.

Abstract
Recent reports in the literature have indicated a physical association of creatine-phosphokinase (CPK) with the tail portion of the myosin molecule. The present paper describes further studies on the interaction of CPK with myosin and myosin fragments, using the techniques of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nanosecond fluorescence depolarization. From EPR work, spin-labeled CPK appears to interact with myosin, tail-less myosin (heavy meromyosin [HMM]), and myosin heads (subfragment-1 [S1]), the extent of interaction being proportional to the S1 content of myosin or its fragments. Spin-labeled CPK did not evidence interaction with the headless myosin "rods," with myosin tails (light meromyosin [LMM]), with S2 necks (which connect S1 to the rest of the myosin molecule), or with actin. When a fluorescent dye is directed to the essential epsilon-amino group of CPK, nanosecond fluorescence depolarization studies indicate a substantial interaction with myosin, HMM, and S1, but very little with F-actin. When the "fast-reacting" thiol of the S1 moiety or the "essential thiol" of CPK was labeled with either a fluorescent dye or a spin label, no interaction between CPK and myosin (or S1) was detected.
