Abstract

The {epsilon}-amine of Lys166 of RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase facilitates enolization of RuBP (the initial step in overall catalysis) more than 100-fold, despite being too remote from C-3 of RuBP to be the primary proton acceptor. To clarify the roles of Lys166, we have analyzed products formed by mutants and chemically-rescued variants from both RuBP and isolated carboxylated reaction intermediate (CKABP). LysI66 mutants slowly convert RuBP to 1-deoxy-D-glycero-2,3-pentodiulose 5-phosphate, indicative of enolization followed by {beta}-elimination. Thus, Lys166 not only promotes enolization but forward processing of enediol as well. Restoration of carboxylase activity to K166C by aminoethylation increases CO{sub 2}/O{sub 2} specificity and also enhances pyruvate formation, which reflects {beta}-elimination of the terminal aci-acid intermediate. The previously uncharacterized product of CKABP hydrolysis by K166G is shown to be pyruvate, rather than 3-phosphoglycerate, as normally formed by protonation of the terminal intermediate. These results are consistent with Lys166 as the terminal proton donor, as deduced by crystallography, and demonstrate multiple roles for this residue in catalysis.

Assessment of the terminal protonation step catalyzed by a site-directed mutant of R. rubrum ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Conference Lee, E H ; Hartman, F C - FASEB Journal (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology); (United States)

The terminal step in the reaction catalyzed by the carboxylase is protonation of the C-2 aci-acid of 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA). In about 1 per 125 turnovers of ribulose-P{sub 2}, P{sub i} is eliminated from the aci-acid to form pyruvate. This partitioning of the intermediate between PGA and pyruvate provides an avenue for inspecting the status of the terminal protonation in catalytically deficient mutant proteins. Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to substitute Gln for active-site Glu48, which interacts electrostatically with the adjacent subunit. The mutant protein retains only 0.5% of the wild-type carboxylase activity. However, the normal (pyruvate)/(PGA) product ratio of 1:250more »« less
Examination of the function of active site lysine 329 of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase as revealed by the proton exchange reaction

Journal Article Hartman, F C ; Lee, E H - J. Biol. Chem.; (United States)

Diverse approaches that include site-directed mutagenesis have indicated a catalytic role of Lys-329 of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Rhodospirillum rubrum. To determine whether Lys-329 is required for the initial enolization of ribulose bisphosphate or for some subsequent step in the overall reaction pathway, the competence of position 329 mutant proteins (devoid of carboxylase activity) in catalyzing exchange of solvent protons with the C-3 proton of substrate has now been examined. Irrespective of the amino acid substitution for Lys-329, the mutant protein retains 2-6% of the wild-type activity in the proton exchange reaction.

Oxygenation mechanism of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Structure and origin of 2-carboxytetritol 1,4-bisphosphate, a novel O{sub 2}-dependent side product generated by a site-directed mutant

Journal Article Harpel, M R ; Hartman, F C ; Serpersu, E H - Biochemistry (Eaton)

Site-directed mutagenesis has implicated active-site Lys329 of Rhodospirillum rubrum ribulose-1.5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) in promoting the reaction of CO{sub 2} with the 2,3-enediol of ribulose bisphosphate and in stabilizing carboxylation intermediates. Although the K329A mutant is greatly impaired in carboxylation, it catalyzes formation of the enediol, which is misprocessed to an O{sub 2}-dependent side product. We now identify this novel side product as 2-carboxytetritol 1,4-bisphosphate (CTBP) by mass spectrometry, {sup 1}H-, {sup 13}C-, and {sup 31}P-NMR spectroscopy, and periodate oxidation. H{sub 2}O{sub 2} accumulates during formation of CTBP, which we show to be derived form a transient precursor, the dicarbonyl D-glycero-2,3-pentodiulosemore »« less

The nature and alternate rates of the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) oxygenation intermediate

Conference Harpel, M R ; Chen, Yuh-Ru ; Hartman, F C

Mutant ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) were employed to investigate the partitioning of carbon flow between photosynthesis or photorespiration. Previous functional and structural studies implicate active site Lys329 and Glu48 or R. rubrum RuBp in promoting addition of CO2 to the RuBP-enediol. Two novel O2-dependent side products generated by the K329A and E49Q mutants provided insight into RuBP oxygenase intermediate and roles of Lys329 and Glu48 in oxygenation.

Catalytic roles of flexible regions at the active site of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco)

Conference Hartman, F C ; Harpel, M R ; Chen, Yuh-Ru ; ...

Chemical and mutagenesis studies of Rubisco have identified Lys329 and Glu48 as active-site residues that are located in distinct, interacting domains from adjacent subunits. Crystallographic analyses have shown that Lys329 is the apical residue in a 12-residue flexible loop (loop 6) of the {Beta},{alpha}-barrel domain of the active site and that Glu48 resides at the end of helix B of the N-terminal domain of the active site. When phosphorylated ligands are bound by the enzyme, loop 6 adopts a closed conformation and, in concert with repositioning of helix B, thereby occludes the active site from the external environment.
