RESUMO
Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase from Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity and was crystallized. Gel filtration analysis of the purified enzyme indicated that it forms a tetramer. The enzyme was phosphorylated with [gamma-32P]ATP, and the pH stability profile of the phosphoenzyme indicated that two different amino acid residues were phosphorylated. Both a histidine residue and serine residues, including Ser-119 and Ser-121, appear to be phosphorylated. A Ser119Ala/Ser121Ala double mutant (i.e., with a Ser-to-Ala double mutation at positions 119 and 121), as well as Ser119Ala and Ser121Ala mutants, was isolated. All of these retained NDP kinase activity; also, both the Ser119Ala and Ser121Ala mutants could still be autophosphorylated. In the case of the double mutant, a slight autophosphorylation activity, which was resistant to acid treatment, was still detected, indicating that an additional minor autophosphorylation site besides His-117 exists. These results are discussed in light of the recent report of N. J. MacDonald et al. on the autophosphorylation of human NDP kinase (J. Biol. Chem. 268:25780-25789, 1993).
