The phosphorylated form of the N-terminal domain of enzyme I of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system of Escherichia coli has been investigated by one-bond and long-range 1H-15N correlation spectroscopy. The active site His 189 is phosphorylated at the Nepsilon2 position and has a pKa of 7.3, which is one pH unit higher than that of unphosphorylated His 189. Because the neutral form of unphosphorylated His 189 is in the Ndelta1-H tautomer, and its Nepsilon2 atom is solvent inaccessible and accepts a hydrogen bond from the hydroxyl group of Thr 168, both protonation and phosphorylation of His 189 must be accompanied by a change in the side-chain conformation of His 189, specifically from a chi(2) angle in the g+ conformer in the unphosphorylated state to the g- conformer in the phosphorylated state.
利用一键和远程1H-15N相关光谱法对大肠杆菌磷酸烯醇丙酮酸:糖磷酸转移酶系统中酶I的N端结构域的磷酸化形式进行了研究。活性位点His 189在Nε2位置被磷酸化,其pKa为7.3,比未磷酸化的His 189高一个pH单位。由于未磷酸化的His 189的中性形式处于Nδ1-H互变异构体中,其Nε2原子无法接触溶剂,并接受来自Thr 168羟基的氢键,His 189的质子化和磷酸化都必须伴随着His 189侧链构象的变化,具体来说,从未磷酸化状态下g+构象体中的χ(2)角变为磷酸化状态下的g-构象体。
