/sup 113/Cd NMR of Cd(II)-substituted Zn(II) metalloenzymes

Cadmium can replace zinc and magnesium in alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli, which permits the characterization of the catalytically important metal-binding sites by /sup 113/Cd NMR. At pH 6.5, in the absence of phosphate, two equivalents of cadmium are bound in identical sites (A), one in each monomer. Either raising the pH or phosphorylation of Cd/sub 2/AP (AP is apoalkaline phosphatase) results in migration of Cd(II) from the site A in one monomer to the opposite monomer to occupy a second site (B) adjacent to the A site in the first monomer, a site stabilized by phosphorylation or high pH. At pH 6.5 in the presence of phosphate, the /sup 113/Cd NMR spectrum of Cd/sub 6/AP consists of three narrow resonances from three pairs of fully occupied sites, A, B, and C. The resonances at 153 and 70 ppm represent two metal sites (A and B) 3.9 angstrom apart at each active center and adjacent to the serine phosphorylated during turnover. At this pH the enzyme exists almost exclusively as the covalent phosphoseryl form E-P with a /sup 31/P resonance at approx. 9 ppm. As the pH is raised a /sup 31/P signal from the noncovalent E.P complex appears at approx. 13ppm. This is reflected in the /sup 113/Cd spectrum by a split of both the A- and B-site resonances into pairs, a set at 137 and 65 ppm for E.P, and 153 and 70 ppm for the E-P species. /sup 113/Cd-O-/sup 31/P coupling of 30 Hz on the /sup 31/P resonance of E.P shows the noncovalently bound phosphate to be coordinated to one but not both metal ions at each active site.
