Abstract
The H-bonded complex of ATP with Arg 34 of Zn2+ finger I of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) determines trans-oligo-ADP-ribosylation from NAD+ to proteins other than PARP-1. This mechanism was tested in lysolecithin fractions of non-malignant and cancer cells separately and after their recombination. Cellular PARP-1 activity was recovered when the centrifugal sediment was recombined with the supernatant fraction containing cellular ADP-ribose oligomer acceptor proteins. Combination of the matrix fraction (Mx) of cancer cells (lacking OXPHOS) with its supernatant had the same PARP-1 activity as the Mx alone. The supernatant of non-malignant cells was replaced by glycolytic enzymes as ADP-ribose acceptor. The hexokinase activity of the supernatant increased when OXPHOS of intact cells was uncoupled by carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoro methoxy) phenylhydrazone. trans-ADP-ribosylation was demonstrated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract
Large-scale motions of biomolecules involve linear elastic deformations along low-frequency normal modes, but for function nonlinearity is essential. In addition, unlike macroscopic machines, biological machines can locally break and then reassemble during function. We present a model for global structural transformations, such as allostery, that involve large-scale motion and possible partial unfolding, illustrating the method with the conformational transition of adenylate kinase. Structural deformation between open and closed states occurs via low-frequency modes on separate reactant and product surfaces, switching from one state to the other when energetically favorable. The switching model is the most straightforward anharmonic interpolation, which allows the barrier for a process to be estimated from a linear normal mode calculation, which by itself cannot be used for activated events. Local unfolding, or cracking, occurs in regions where the elastic stress becomes too high during the transition. Cracking leads to a counterintuitive catalytic effect of added denaturant on allosteric enzyme function. It also leads to unusual relationships between equilibrium constant and rate like those seen recently in single-molecule experiments of motor proteins.

Abstract
The crystal structures of adenylate kinases from the thermophile Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus and the mesophile Methanococcus voltae have been solved to resolutions of 2.8A and 2.5A, respectively. The structures of the enzymes are similar to that of the adenylate kinase from archaeal Sulfolobus acidocaldarius in many respects such as the extended central beta-sheets, the short LID domain, and the trimeric state. The analysis of unligated and AMP-bound subunits of M.voltae suggests that movements of two mobile domains are not independent of each other. The methanococcal structures are examined with respect to their lack of the "invariant" Lys residue within the phosphate-binding loop, and two Arg residues in the LID domain are proposed as substituting residues based on their conservation among archaeal adenylate kinases and mobility within the structures. Since S.acidocaldarius adenylate kinase has the invariant Lys residue as well as the two Arg residues, its phosphate-binding loop is examined and compared with those of other adenylate kinases. On the basis of the comparison and other available biochemical data, the unusual conformation of the Lys residue in S.acidocaldarius adenylate kinase is explained. Despite possessing 78% sequence identity, the methanococcal enzymes exhibit significantly different thermal stabilities. To study the determinants of thermostability, several structural features including salt-links, hydrogen bonds, packing density, surface to volume ratio and buried surface area are compared between the enzymes. From their difference in apolar buried surface area, hydrophobic interaction is proposed to be a basis for the disparate thermostabilities, and the corresponding free energy difference is also estimated. Results of previous mutational studies are interpreted in terms of the crystal structures, and support the importance of hydrophobic interactions in thermostability.

Abstract
General anesthetics are a class of drugs whose mode of action is poorly understood. Here, two photoactivable general anesthetics, n-octan-1-ol geometric isomers bearing a diazirine group on either the third or seventh carbon (3- and 7-azioctanol, respectively), were used to locate and delineate an anesthetic site on adenylate kinase. Each photoincorporated at a mole ratio of 1:1 as determined by mass spectrometry. The photolabeled kinase was subjected to tryptic digest, and the fragments were separated by chromatography and sequenced by mass spectrometry. 3-Azioctanol photolabeled His-36, whereas its isomer, 7-azioctanol, photolabeled Asp-41. Inspection of the known structure of adenylate kinase shows that the side chains of these residues are within approximately 5 A of each other. This distance matches the separation of the 3- and 7-positions of an extended aliphatic chain. The alkanol site so-defined spans two domains of adenylate kinase. His-36 is part of the CORE domain, and Asp-41 belongs to the nucleotide monophosphate binding domain. Upon ligand binding the nucleotide monophosphate binding domain rotates relative to the CORE domain, causing a conformational change that might be expected to affect alkanol binding. Indeed, the substrate-mimicking inhibitor adenosine-(5')-pentaphospho-(5')-adenosine (Ap5A) reduced the photoincorporation of 3-[(3)H]azioctanol by 75%.

Abstract
Adenylate kinase (AK) ages in solution in the presence of DL-dithiothreitol (DTT) with a gradual activity decrease. Upon dilution with 4 M guanidine hydrochloride denatured native and aged AK, both recover to the same activity as the fresh enzyme. Mass spectroscopy and 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole chloride modification kinetics studies identify that the residue cysteine-25 of the enzyme reacts with DTT to form an adduct. The formation of the unusual bridging DTT adduct of AK appears to be the result of a stable DTT-protein complex. The K(M) for AMP, ADP and MgATP of the DTT-modified enzyme does not differ significantly from that of the intact enzyme, whereas the secondary and tertiary structures of the enzyme change obviously. These results indicate that cysteine-25 may not be involved directly in substrate binding, but may play an important role in maintaining secondary and tertiary structures of native AK, as well as the conformation interconversion in the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
We have isolated two cDNA clones encoding Entamoeba histolytica nucleotide kinases, EhAK and EhUK, expressed them in E. coli and performed functional studies of the recombinant enzymes. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that EhAK and EhUK genes exhibited the features characteristic of E. histolytica genes, such as transcripts with relatively short 5' and 3' untranslated flanking regions containing the conserved E. histolytica transcription promoter elements located 5' to the initiation codon and a polyadenylation signal in the 3' UTR, a distinctive codon usage bias for A or T in the third position and an AT bias greater than 75% in the flanking regions of the transcripts. At the protein level, both enzymes belong to the short variant nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) kinases, which lack a 29amino acid LID region present in the long variant isoenzymes. EhAK was 30-38% identical to the members of the adenylate kinase (AK) family while EhUK was more similar (48-49% identity) to UMP/CMP kinases. Both enzymes used ATP as preferred phosphate-group donor but each one exhibited strict specificity for the acceptor NMP, EhAK for AMP and EhUK for the pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphates UMP and CMP. Biochemical characterization of the enzymes and phylogenetic reconstruction showed that EhUK is an authentic and well conserved member of the UMP/CMP kinase group while EhAK is the most divergent member known of the AK1 isoenzymes.

Abstract
Denaturant m values, the dependence of the free energy of unfolding on denaturant concentration, have been collected for a large set of proteins. The m value correlates very strongly with the amount of protein surface exposed to solvent upon unfolding, with linear correlation coefficients of R = 0.84 for urea and R = 0.87 for guanidine hydrochloride. These correlations improve to R = 0.90 when the effect of disulfide bonds on the accessible area of the unfolded protein is included. A similar dependence on accessible surface area has been found previously for the heat capacity change (delta Cp), which is confirmed here for our set of proteins. Denaturant m values and heat capacity changes also correlate well with each other. For proteins that undergo a simple two-state unfolding mechanism, the amount of surface exposed to solvent upon unfolding is a main structural determinant for both m values and delta Cp.

Abstract
Although how Lys21 interacts with the substrate MgATP of muscle adenylate kinase (AK) can now be deduced from the crystal structure of Escherichia coli AK.MgAP5A [P1,P5-bis(5'-adenosyl) pentaphosphate] [Müller, C. W., & Schulz, G. E. (1992) J. Mol. Biol. 224, 159-177], its contribution to catalysis has not yet been demonstrated by functional studies since the proton NMR of the K21M mutant was shown to be perturbed significantly [Tian, G., Yan., H., Jiang, R.-T., Kishi, F., Nakazawa, A., & Tsai, M.-D. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 4296-4304]. We therefore undertook further structural and functional analyses of a conservative mutant K21R and a nonconservative mutant K21A. In addition to kinetic analyses, the structures of the mutants were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional proton NMR spectroscopy and (1H, 15N) heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) experiments. Detailed assignments were performed in reference to the total backbone assignments of the WT AK.MgAP5A complex [Byeon, I.-J. L., Yan, H., Edison, A. S., Mooberry, E. S., Abildgaard, F., Markley, J. L., & Tsai, M.-D. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 12508-12521]. The analysis showed that the residues located near the active site (Gly15, Thr23, Arg97, Gln101, Arg128, Arg132, Asp140, Asp141, and Tyr153) exhibit greater changes in 1H-15N chemical shifts. Finally, two-dimensional 31P-31P COSY experiments were used to examine the effects of the lysine side chain on the phosphate groups in the bound AP5A. Our data have led to the following conclusions independent of the crystal structure: (i) Because the perturbations in the conformation of the mutants are not global and are mainly localized at active site residues and Tyr153, the side chain of Lys21 can be concluded to stabilize the transition state in the catalysis of AK by up to 7 kcal/mol on the basis of the 10(5)-fold decreases in the kcat/Km of mutants. (ii) The results of 31P NMR analyses suggest that Lys21 functions by orienting the triphosphate chain of MgATP to a proper conformation required for catalysis. (iii) The interaction between Lys21 and the phosphate chain in turn dictates the interactions between the substrates and the active site residues. In the K21R.MgATP complex, the NH chemical shifts of many of the active site residues are perturbed. (iv) The catalytic functions of Lys21 cannot be replaced by a conservative residue arginine. In addition, since K21A and K21R behave similarly, the catalytic function of Lys21 should not be merely a charge effect.

Abstract
Structure-function relationships of rabbit muscle adenylate kinase (RMAK) were studied by examining the characteristics of inhibitions by hydrophobic inhibitors and reactivations by sulfhydryl reagents. RMAK is inhibited by 1-butanol,N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and elemental sulfur (S8) with increasing effectiveness in the order of increasing hydrophobicity. Characteristics of these hydrophobic inhibitors are compared with inhibitors forming covalent bonds or reversible complexes. A mechanism is proposed for hydrophobic inhibitors of RMAK that involves conformational changes promoted by interacting with hydrophobic regions. The reversal of RMAK inhibition by sulfhydryl compounds involves a conformational change that exposes hydrophobic regions and the inhibitor to water. Circular dichroism (CD) data show changes in the secondary structures of RMAK, indicating that the inhibitors and the sulfhydryl compounds promote conformational changes. The results of these studies show that the activity of a small enzyme can be controlled in a manner analogous to the allosteric control of larger enzymes.

Abstract
dTMP kinase (E.C.2.7.4.9.) catalyzes the phosphorylation of dTMP to the corresponding diphosphate. This enzyme is essential for DNA synthesis in vivo and is an important intermediate enzyme in the pathway of many pyrimidine analog drugs. In this report, we describe the isolation of the human dTMP kinase gene by functional complementation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle mutant, cdc8. The cDNA sequence revealed an open reading frame that encodes a protein with the molecular weight of 23,806. The deduced protein sequence was compared to known dTMP kinase sequences from different organisms. Although functionally complementary and structurally conserved, expressed human dTMP kinase in yeast shows little enzymatic activity. In contrast, active human dTMP kinase can be expressed from the gene cloned into the baculovirus expression system, as evidenced by increased enzymatic activity by four- to five-fold. Unlike yeast dTMP kinase, human dTMP kinase does not contain a cysteine residue after the conserved glycine-rich loop, but its enzymatic activity is still affected by the sulfhydryl inhibitor, 5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). The levels of dTMP kinase mRNA and its enzymatic activity fluctuate during the cell cycle, peaking at the S phase. Thus, like Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDC8 (encoding dTMP kinase), the human homolog mRNA and enzymatic activity are also cell cycle regulated. We have also examined four neuroblastoma cell lines for dTMP kinase mRNA levels and its kinase activities, which appear to vary according to cell growth rate. Our results suggest that the expression of the dTMP kinase gene and its activity coincide with various stages of cell growth. The identification of the human dTMP kinase gene and expression of its product in the baculovirus expression system should facilitate study of the mechanism of gene regulation and its role in pyrimidine metabolism.

Abstract
Backbone 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR assignments were obtained for the complex of chicken muscle adenylate kinase (AK) with its bisubstrate analog, MgAP5A [magnesium P1,P5-bis(5'-adenosyl)-pentaphosphate]. The assignments were used to elucidate the secondary structures and the enzyme-MgAP5A interactions. The work involves two unusual features: the molecular weight of AK (21.6 kDa) is one of the largest, on a monomeric basis, for which nearly complete assignment has been reported to date, and the assignment was performed at pH 7.1 instead of the acidic pH used for most other proteins. The results are summarized as follows. Firstly, unambiguous sequential assignments of backbone resonances have been achieved effectively by the combined use of two sequential assignment methods: NOE-directed assignments and the recently developed 1J-coupling-directed assignments. The starting points of the assignments were provided by several specifically labeled enzyme samples. Over 90% of the backbone 1H, 13C, and 15N resonances have been assigned. Secondly, spin system information was obtained from the HCCH-TOCSY and HCCH-COSY experiments as well as from 2D homonuclear NMR data. Overall, the side-chain resonances of ca. 40% of the residues, including most of the those displaying NOEs with the adenosine moieties of MgAP5A, have been assigned. Thirdly, secondary structural elements in the AK-MgAP5A complex were identified by extensive analyses of 1H-15N 2D HMQC-NOESY and 3D NOESY-HMQC spectra. Overall, the enzyme consists of ca. 60% alpha-helices and a five-stranded parallel beta-sheet. The results are compared with the secondary structure of the free AK from porcine muscle in crystals [Dreusicke, D., Karplus, P. A., & Schulz, G. E. (1988) J. Mol. Biol. 199, 359-371]. Lastly, most of the intermolecular NOEs between AK and the adenosine moieties of MgAP5A have been identified: Thr39, Leu43, Gly64, Leu66, Val67, Val72, and Gln101 are in proximity to the adenosine moiety of the adenosine 5'-monophosphate site, whereas Thr23 is in proximity to that of the adenosine 5'-triphosphate site. These data are discussed in relation to previous results from site-directed mutagenesis, NMR, and X-ray studies and in relation to the mechanism of catalysis.

Abstract
The structural and functional roles of threonine-23 in the chicken muscle adenylate kinase (AK) were investigated by site-directed mutagenesis coupled with proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and phosphorus stereochemistry. The residue is potentially important because it is conserved among all types of AK and is part of the consensus P-loop sequence, 15GXPGXGKGT23. A mutant enzyme T23A (replacing threonine-23 with alanine) was constructed. Analyses of conformational stability and proton NMR indicate that the side chain of this residue contributes little to the structure of AK, which suggests that the side chain of Thr-23 does not play a structural role. The steady-state kinetic data of the mutant enzyme T23A showed no change in kcat and only 5-7-fold increases in Km and dissociation constants. Such minor changes in kinetic data are insufficient to suggest a functional role of Thr-23. However, two-dimensional NMR analyses of WT.MgAP5A and T23A.MgAP5A complexes indicated that the side chain of Thr-23 is in proximity to the adenine ring of the ATP moiety in the WT.MgAP5A complex in solution. In addition, T23A showed a significant perturbation in the stereospecificity toward the diastereomers of (Rp)- and (Sp)-adenosine 5'-(1-thiotriphosphate) (ATP alpha S), with the Rp/Sp ratio increased from < 0.02 in wild-type to 0.37 in T23A. Detailed 31P NMR analysis indicated that the stereospecificity at the AMP site was not perturbed. These results suggest that the side chain of Thr-23 is involved in catalysis, most likely via a hydrogen bonding interaction Thr-OH...O-P alpha(ATP).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We describe the isolation and identification of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe dTMP kinase gene by the complementation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle mutant cell, cdc8. The isolated cDNA contains an open reading frame which can encode a protein with the molecular weight of 24,151. The deduced protein sequence is highly conserved among known dTMP kinase sequences from different organisms. The isolated gene should facilitate our study of its enzymatic activity, as well as nucleotide metabolism and cell cycle regulation in this organism.

Abstract
Photoaffinity labeling with azidoadenine nucleotides was used to identify peptides from the ATP and AMP binding domains on chicken muscle adenylate kinase. Competition binding studies and enzyme assays showed that the 8-azido analogues of Ap4A and ATP modified only the MgATP2- site of adenylate kinase, whereas the 2-azido analogue of ADP modified the enzyme at both the ATP and AMP sites. The positions of the two nucleotide binding sites on the enzyme were deduced by isolating and sequencing the modified peptides. Photolabeled peptides were isolated by a new procedure that used metal chelate chromatography to affinity purify the photolabeled peptides prior to final purification by reverse-phase HPLC. The sequences of the peptides that were photolabeled with the 8-azido analogues corresponded to residues K28-L44, T153-K166, and T125-E135 of the chicken muscle enzyme. The residues that were present in both tryptic- and Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease-generated versions of these peptides were assigned to the ATP binding domain on the basis of selective photoaffinity labeling with the 8-azidoadenine analogues. These peptides and an additional peptide corresponding to positions I110-K123 were photolabeled with 2-N3ADP. Since I110-K123 was photolabeled by 2-N3ADP but not by 8-N3Ap4A, it was assigned to the AMP binding domain.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis of key amino acids of adenylate kinase has been used to suggest a new model for the location of the AMP and ATP binding sites. Phe-86 and Tyr-133, which are in close contact with the inhibitor Ap5A according to previous crystallographic results, have been independently changed to tryptophan and other amino acids. The Phe-86----Trp mutant had a 3- to 6-fold change in the Km for ATP and a 44-fold increase in the Km for AMP with a simultaneous loss of AMP substrate inhibition. Thus Phe-86 is probably in close contact with bound AMP. The Tyr-133----Trp mutant showed no large effects on enzyme kinetics and suggests that the previous assignment of Ap5A occupying natural adenosine binding sites is probably incorrect. A temperature-sensitive Leu-107----Gln mutant showed a 6-fold decrease in the Km for ATP and no effect on AMP binding, suggesting that this amino acid is near the ATP binding site. Changes in the fluorescence of single tryptophan-containing mutant enzymes provided specific information about AMP and ATP binding. The fluorescence results are consistent with the kinetic studies, and also suggest that AMP substrate inhibition is caused by the formation of an abortive complex that prevents the release of product.

Abstract
The substrate binding sites of adenylate kinase (AK) proposed by X-ray crystallographic studies [Pai, E. F., Sachsenheimer, W., Schirmer, R. H., & Schulz, G. E. (1977) J. Mol. Biol. 114, 37-45, and subsequent revisions] were evaluated by site-specific mutagenesis in conjunction with structural analysis by NMR. The residues examined in this report include two near an adenosine site (threonine-39 and arginine-44) and two in the phosphate binding region (arginine-128 and arginine-149). The results and conclusions are summarized as follows: (a) Although Thr-39 is very close to an adenine site [Egner, U., Tomasselli, A. G., & Schulz, G. E. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 195, 649-658], it is nonessential either structurally or functionally. (b) The R44M mutant enzyme showed significant increases in the Michaelis and dissociation constants of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) (36- and 22-fold, respectively) while all other kinetic parameters were relatively unperturbed. The proton NMR property of this mutant was unchanged in the free enzyme and only slightly perturbed in the binary complexes with AMP and with MgATP (adenosine 5'-triphosphate), and in the ternary complex with MgAP5A [P1,P5-bis(5'-adenosyl) pentaphosphate]. These results indicate that Arg-44 interacts specifically with AMP starting at the binary complex, and suggest that the MgATP site proposed by Pai et al. (1977) is likely to be the AMP site. (c) The kinetic parameters of R149M were dramatically perturbed: kcat decreased by a factor of 1540, Km increased to 130-fold, and kcat/Km decreased by a factor of 2 X 10(5).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Replacement of the arginine-138 of adenylate kinase (AK) by lysine or methionine resulted in a decrease in kcat by a factor of 10(4), increases in Km by a factor of 10-20, and relatively little changes in dissociation constants. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies were then undertaken to obtain structural information for quantitative interpretation of the kinetic data. Since the lysine mutant (R138K) represents a conservative mutation with surprisingly large effects on kinetics, structural studies were focused on the wild type (WT) and R138K. The results and conclusions are summarized as follows: (i) The aromatic spin systems of WT and R138K were assigned from total correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY). Comparison of the chemical shifts of aromatic protons, one-dimensional spectra, TOCSY, and nuclear Overhauser enhanced spectroscopy (NOESY) indicated that the conformation of R138K was almost unperturbed relative to that of WT. Thus Arg-138 is not important for the tertiary structure. (ii) Proton NMR titrations with AMP and MgATP suggested that substrate binding affinities and substrate-induced conformational changes are nearly identical between WT and R138K. Thus arginine-138 should not be involved in stabilizing the first substrate in the binary complex. (iii) Notable differences were observed between the proton NMR spectra of the WT and R138K complexes with the reaction mixture, which agrees with the perturbation in the Km values of R138K. The differences were analyzed in detail by using a "static reaction mixture'--p1, p5-bis(5'-adenosyl)pentaphosphate (MgAP5A). The aromatic spin systems of WT + MgAP5A and R138K + MgAP5A were partially assigned from various two-dimensional spectra.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
