RAT TRYPSINOGEN K15A COMPLEXED WITH BOVINE PANCREATIC TRYPSIN INHIBITOR

OverviewOverview
The contribution of induced fit to enzyme specificity has been much, debated, although with little experimental data. Here we probe the effect, of induced fit on enzyme specificity using the trypsin(ogen) system. BPTI, is known to induce trypsinogen to assume a trypsinlike conformation., Correlations are observed between BPTI affinity and the values of, k(cat)/K(m) for the hydrolysis of two substrates by eight trypsin(ogen), variants. The slope of both correlations is -1.8. The crystal structures, of the BPTI complexes of four variant trypsinogens were also solved. Three, of these enzymes, K15A, DeltaI16V17/D194N, and DeltaI16V17/Q156K, trypsinogen, are 10- to 100-fold more active than trypsinogen. The fourth, variant, DeltaI16V17 trypsinogen, is the lone outlier in the correlations;, its activity is lower than expected based on its affinity for BPTI. The S1, site and oxyanion hole, formed by segments 184A-194 and 216-223, are, trypsinlike in all of the enzymes. These structural and kinetic data, confirm that BPTI induces an active conformation in the trypsin(ogen), variants. Thus, changes in BPTI affinity monitor changes in the energetic, cost of inducing a trypsinlike conformation. Although the S1 site and, oxyanion hole are similar in all four variants, the N-terminal and, autolysis loop (residues 142-152) segments have different interactions for, each variant. These results indicate that zymogen activity is controlled, by a simple conformational equilibrium between active and inactive, conformations, and that the autolysis loop and N-terminal segments control, this equilibrium. Together, these data illustrate that induced fit does, not generally contribute to enzyme specificity.
