摘要
Single tryptophan mutant proteins of a catalytically active domain III recombinant protein (PE24) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A were prepared by site-directed mutagenesis, The binding of the dinucleotide substrate, NAD(+), to the PE24 active site was studied by exploiting intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence for the wild-type, single Trp, and tryptophan-deficient mutant proteins. Various approaches were used to study the substrate binding process, including dynamic quenching, CD spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence emission analysis, NAD(+)-glycohydrolase activity, NAD(+) binding analysis, protein denaturation experiments, fluorescence lifetime analysis, steady-state anisotropy measurement, stopped flow fluorescence spectroscopy, and quantum yield determination, It was found that the conservative replacement of tryptophan residues with phenylalanine had little or no effect on the folded stability and enzyme activity of the PE24 protein. Dynamic quenching experiments indicated that when bound to the active site of the enzyme, the NAD(+) substrate protected Trp-558 from solvent to a large extent but had no effect on the degree of solvent exposure for tryptophans 417 and 466, Also, upon substrate binding, the anisotropy of the Trp-417(W466F/W558F) protein showed the largest increase, followed by Trp-466(W417F/W558F), and there was no effect on Trp-558(W417F/W466F). Furthermore, the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence exhibited the highest degree of substrate-induced quenching for the wild-type protein, followed in decreasing order by Trp-417(W466F/W558F), Trp-558(W417F/W466F), and Trp-466(W417F/W558F). These data provide evidence for a structural rearrangement in the enzyme domain near Trp-417 invoked by the binding of the NAD(+) substrate.
