The formation of complexes of vanadate with 2-phosphoglycerate and 3-phosphoglycerate have been studied using {sup 51}V nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Signals attributed to two 2,3-diphosphoglycerate analogues, 2-vanadio-3-phosphoglycerate and 2-phospho-3-vanadioglycerate, were detected but were not fully resolved from signals of inorganic vanadate and the anhydride formed between vanadate and the phosphate ester moieties of the individual phosphoglycerates. Equilibrium constants for formation of the two 2,3-bisphosphate analogues were estimated as 2.5 M{sup {minus}1} for 2-vanadio-3-phosphoglycerate and 0.2 M{sup {minus}1} for 2-phospho-3-vanadioglycerate. The results of the binding study are fully consistent with noncooperativity in the binding of vanadiophosphoglycerate to the two active sites of phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM). The results obtained here are in accord with these vanadate-phosphoglycerate complexes being much more potent inhibitors of phosphoglycerate mutase than either monomeric or dimeric vanadate. These results strongly support the view that phosphoryl transfer in this enzyme involves a pentacoordinate phosphate intermediate and suggests that the two active sites operate independently of each other.
