| Popis: | Upon expression and purification of the first catalytic domain of mammalian adenylate cyclase type 1 (IC1), a 27 kDa contaminant was observed, which was labelled by three radioactive ATP analogues (8-azido-ATP, 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP and 2',3'-dialdehyde-ATP); the protein was purified separately and identified as Escherichia coli SlyD by N-terminal amino acid sequence determination. SlyD is the host protein required for lysis of E. coli upon infection with bacteriophage PhiX174 and has recently been shown to display rotamase (peptidylproline cis-trans-isomerase) activity. The covalent incorporation of ATP analogues into SlyD was promoted by bivalent transition metal ions (Zn(2+)>/=Ni(2+)>Co(2+)>Cu(2+)) but not by Mg(2+) or Ca(2+); this is consistent with the known metal ion specificity of SlyD. ATP, ADP, GTP and UTP suppressed labelling of SlyD with comparable potencies. Similarly, SlyD bound 2',3'-O-(-2,4, 6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP with an affinity in the range of 10 microM, as determined by fluorescence enhancement. This interaction was further augmented in the presence of Zn(2+) (K(d)= approximately 2 microM at saturating Zn(2+)) but not of Mg(2+). Irrespective of the assay conditions, hydrolysis of nucleotides by SlyD was not detected. Upon gel filtration on a Superose HR12 column, SlyD (predicted molecular mass=21 kDa) migrated with an apparent molecular mass of 44 kDa, indicating that the protein was a dimer. However, the migration of SlyD was not affected by the presence of Zn(2+) or of Zn(2+) and ATP. Thus we concluded that SlyD binds nucleotides in the presence of metal ions. These findings suggest that SlyD serves a physiological role that goes beyond that accounted for by its intrinsic rotamase activity, which is observed in the absence of metal ions. |
