Phosphorylation of SpoIIAA on Ser-58 catalyzed by SpoIIAB is important in the regulation of sporulation of Bacillus subtilis. Nucleotide binding experiments showed that the affinity of SpoIIAB for ATP was greatly increased in the presence of SpoIIAA or a mutant SpoIIAA in which Ser-58 had been changed to alanine. Study of the phosphorylation reaction showed that the Km for ATP and the Ki for ADP were both about 1 microM. The kinetics of phosphorylation of SpoIIAA by SpoIIAB were biphasic, comprising a rapid phase (leading to phosphorylation of 1 mol of SpoIIAA/mol of SpoIIAB) followed by a slower, steady-state phase. In the steady state, the rate-determining step proved to be the dissociation of a SpoIIAB-ADP complex. The rate of this dissociation was not affected significantly by changes in the concentration of ATP.
由SpoIIAB催化的SpoIIAA第58位丝氨酸的磷酸化在枯草芽孢杆菌芽孢形成的调控中起重要作用。核苷酸结合实验表明,在SpoIIAA或第58位丝氨酸已被替换为丙氨酸的SpoIIAA突变体存在的情况下,SpoIIAB对ATP的亲和力大大增加。磷酸化反应研究表明,ATP的米氏常数(Km)和ADP的抑制常数(Ki)均约为1微摩尔。SpoIIAB对SpoIIAA的磷酸化动力学呈双相,包括一个快速阶段(导致每摩尔SpoIIAB使1摩尔SpoIIAA磷酸化),随后是一个较慢的稳态阶段。在稳态下,限速步骤证明是SpoIIAB-ADP复合物的解离。该解离速率不受ATP浓度变化的显著影响。
