ABSTRACT We mutated Trp134 and Tyr135 of the yeast LMW-PTP to explore their catalytic roles, demonstrating that the mutations of Trp134 to Tyr or Ala, and Tyr135 to Ala, all interfere with the formation of the phosphorylenzyme intermediate, a phenomenon that can be seen by the decrease in the kinetic constant of the chemical step (k3). Furthermore, we noted that the Trp134 to Ala mutation causes a dramatic drop in kcat/Km and a slight enhancement of the dissociation constant Ks. The conservative mutant W134Y shows a kcat/Km very close to that of wild type, probably compensating the two-fold decrease of k3 with an increase in substrate affinity. The Y135A mutation enhances the substrate affinity, but reduces the enzyme phosphorylation rate. The replacement of Trp134 with alanine interferes with the partition between phosphorylenzyme hydrolysis and phosphotransfer from the phosphorylenzyme to glycerol and abolish the enzyme activation by adenine. Finally, we found that mutation of Trp134 to Ala causes a dramatic change in the pH-rate profile that becomes similar to that of the D132A mutant, suggesting that an aromatic residue in position 134 is necessary to assist the proper positioning of the proton donor in the transition state of the chemical step.

Abstract

ABSTRACT We mutated Trp134 and Tyr135 of the yeast LMW-PTP to explore their catalytic roles, demonstrating that the mutations of Trp134 to Tyr or Ala, and Tyr135 to Ala, all interfere with the formation of the phosphorylenzyme intermediate, a phenomenon that can be seen by the decrease in the kinetic constant of the chemical step (k3). Furthermore, we noted that the Trp134 to Ala mutation causes a dramatic drop in kcat/Km and a slight enhancement of the dissociation constant Ks. The conservative mutant W134Y shows a kcat/Km very close to that of wild type, probably compensating the two-fold decrease of k3 with an increase in substrate affinity. The Y135A mutation enhances the substrate affinity, but reduces the enzyme phosphorylation rate. The replacement of Trp134 with alanine interferes with the partition between phosphorylenzyme hydrolysis and phosphotransfer from the phosphorylenzyme to glycerol and abolish the enzyme activation by adenine. Finally, we found that mutation of Trp134 to Ala causes a dramatic change in the pH-rate profile that becomes similar to that of the D132A mutant, suggesting that an aromatic residue in position 134 is necessary to assist the proper positioning of the proton donor in the transition state of the chemical step.
