Alteration of Substrate-Induced Conformational Changes of Escherichia coli Melibiose Permease by Mutating Arg149
Lin, Y.
Show abstract
Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques have been used to obtain information about substrate-induced structural changes of the melibiose permease mutant R149C, compared with the Cys-less, which were reconstituted into liposomes. ATR-FTIR evidences show that Na+-induced difference spectra of R149C and Cys-less are similar. However, Na+ induces some new peaks for R149C mutant permease. This means that replacement of Arg-149 by Cys may affect the structure of MelB, and then affect the binding of Na+. Melibiose-induced difference spectra of R149C in the presence of Na+ show some peaks in the amide I region not seen in Cys-less, corresponding to turns, {beta}-sheets, -helix changes. This suggests that R149C mutant permease undergo some different secondary structure changes compared to Cys-less mutant permease, when binding melibiose. Comparison of the permease intrinsic fluorescence variations of R149C and Cys-less indicate that there are similar substrate binding properties between R149C and Cys-less. When analyzing the effects of different sugars it appears that the R149C mutant is more sensitive to the sugar. All these data indicate that replacement of Arg-149 by Cys will affect Na+ and sugar binding, and enhance the selectivity and sensitivity to sugars.
