PHOSPHATE-BINDING PROTEIN WITH ALA 197 REPLACED WITH TRP
OverviewOverview
Stringent specificity and complementarity between the receptor, a, periplasmic phosphate-binding protein (PBP) with a two-domain structure, and the completely buried and dehydrated phosphate are achieved by, hydrogen bonding or dipolar interactions. We recently found that the, surface charge potential of the cleft between the two domains that, contains the anion binding site is intensely electronegative. This novel, finding prompted the study reported here of the effect of ionic strength, on the equilibrium and rapid kinetics of phosphate binding. To facilitate, this study, Ala197, located on the edge of the cleft, was replaced by a, Trp residue (A197W PBP) to generate a fluorescence reporter group. The, A197W PBP-phosphate complex retains wild-type Kd and X-ray structure, beyond the replacement residue. The Kd (0.18 microM) at no salt is, increased by 20-fold at greater than 0.30 M NaCl. Stopped-flow, fluorescence kinetic studies indicate a two-step binding process: (1) The, phosphate (L) binds, at near diffusion-controlled rate, to the open cleft, form (Po) of PBP to produce an intermediate, PoL. This rate decreases with, increasing ionic strength. (2) The intermediate isomerizes to the, closed-conformation form, PcL. The results indicate that the high, specificity, affinity, and rate of phosphate binding are not influenced by, the noncomplementary electronegative surface potential of the cleft. That, binding depends almost entirely on local dipolar interactions with the, receptor has important ramification in electrostatic interactions in, protein structures and in ligand recognition.
