Abstract
The structure of adenine nucleotide bound at the active site of yeast hexokinase PII (PII) was studied in the complexes PII x ADPMg(II), PII x ADPMg(II) x Glc and PII x ADPMg(II) x NO3- x Glc using two-dimensional transferred NOE spectroscopy. Binding of the nucleotide ligand to the enzyme resulted in downfield shift of several ligand resonances. Changes in the chemical shift as a function of ligand concentration indicate that various resonances in the bound and free form of the ligand appear to be in fast exchange. The largest chemical shift change between the bound and the free states (delta vM = 88 +/- 9 Hz) at an NMR frequency of 500 MHz was observed for the H2 resonance of the adenine ring. A lower limit for the rate of ligand dissociation from the complex derived from these results is k(off) >> 550 s(-1). Interproton NOEs for various ligand protons in PII x ADPMg(II), PII x ADPMg(II) x Glc and PII x ADPMg(II) x NO3- x Glc complexes were measured at 500 MHz at 10 degrees C. The NOE buildup curves constructed from such measurements made at various mixing times (40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 ms) were analyzed using complete relaxation matrix calculations and various interproton distances were determined. These distances were used in restrained molecular dynamics calculations to derive the conformation of the nucleotide bound at the active site of the enzyme. The results of these calculations indicate that the nucleotide binds in an anti conformation. The glycosidic torsion angle chi (O4'-C1'-N9-C8) determined for the nucleotide in PII x ADPMg(II), PII x ADPMg(II) x Glc and PII x ADPMg(II) x NO3- x Glc complexes are 68 +/- 4 degrees, 52 +/- 4 degrees and 49 +/- 4 degrees respectively. In all these complexes, the ribose pucker is best represented by the unsymmetrical O4'-endo-C1'-exo twist ((o)T1). The observed decrease in the glycosidic torsion angle of the bound nucleotide is attributed to the glucose-induced conformational changes in the enzyme. The structure of the nucleotide derived here is at variance from the one proposed on the basis of X-ray crystallography and model building [Shoham, M. & Steitz, T. A. (1980) J. Mol. Biol. 140, 1-14].
