Escherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate dependent phosphotransferase system. NMR studies of the conformation of HPr and P-HPr and the mechanism of energy coupling.

چکیده
1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance investigations of the phosphoprotein intermediate P-HPr and the parent molecule HPr of the E. coli phosphoenolpyruvate dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) show that HPr can exist in two conformations. These conformations influence the protonation state of the reactive histidine residue, thereby determining the reaction pathway in the phosphoryl group transfer step. A general mechanism is proposed for the energy-coupling process in the PTS.

A rapid, high-yield procedure has been developed for the purification of HPr from the Escherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate dependent phosphotransferase system. During this procedure, the protein copurifies with a 2500dalton homopolysaccharide which we have identified as (Y 1-6 T h e phosphoenolpyruvate dependent hexose transport system is, relative to the number of macromolecules involved, a ra...
متن کاملEscherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system: mechanism of phosphoryl-group transfer from phosphoenolpyruvate to HPr.
The mechanism of phosphoryl-group transfer from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to HPr, catalyzed by enzyme I of the Escherichia coli PEP-dependent phosphotransferase system, has been studied in vitro. Steady-state kinetics and isotope exchange measurements revealed that this reaction cannot be described by a classical ping-pong mechanism although phosphoenzyme I acts as an intermediate. The kinetic ...

The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) utilizes high-energy phosphate present in PEP to drive the uptake of several different carbohydrates in bacteria. In order to examine the role of the PTS in the physiology of Listeria monocytogenes, we identified the ptsH and ptsI genes encoding the HPr and enzyme I proteins, respectively, of the PTS. Nucleotide sequence an...
متن کاملExchange of phosphoryl groups between HPr molecules of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system is an autocatalytic process.
HPr, a central component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system, can exist in Escherichia coli in a phosphorylated (PHPr) and a nonphosphorylated form. We show that, beside the normal transfer of the phosphoryl group from PHPr to enzymes II and III, PHPr can phosphorylate other HPr molecules in an autocatalytic exchange reaction. The reaction is very fast but is inhibite...
