Title: Small-angle X-ray scattering studies on yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase and its interactions with divalent metal ions, inorganic phosphate, and hydroxymethane bisphosphonate

Abstract

Small-angle x-ray scattering studies have been carried out on the enzyme yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase), and its overall conformational changes on interaction with divalent metal ions (Mg/sup 2 +/ and Mn/sup 2 +/) and with phosphoryl ligands (inorganic phosphate (P/sub i/) and hydroxymethane bisphosphonate (PCHOHP), a nonhydrolyzable inorganic pyrophosphate analog) were assessed. The enzyme undergoes an apparent reduction in size on simultaneous addition of Mg/sup 2 +/ and high P/sub i/ concentration, although neither Mg/sup 2 +/ nor P/sub i/ added separately induced any measurable conformational changes. By contrast, simultaneous addition of Mn/sup 2 +/ and P/sub i/ to PPase does not result in an observable conformational change. However, the overall structure of the enzyme appears to enlarge in the simultaneous presence of Mn/sup 2 +/ ions and PCHOHP. The significance of the structural changes seen in PPase under various conditions is discussed. 21 references, 3 figures, 1 table.
