Sulfhydryl groups of yeast phosphofructokinase-specific localization on beta subunits of fructose 6-phosphate binding sites as demonstrated by a differential chemical labeling study

MN Tijane, AF Chaffotte, FJ Seydoux, C Roucous and M Laurent

Yeast phosphofructokinase contains 83 +/- 2 cysteinyl residues/enzyme oligomer. On the basis of their reactivity toward 5,5-dithiobis(2- nitrobenzoic acid), the accessible cysteinyl residues of the native enzyme may be classified into three groups. For titrations performed with N-ethylmaleimide, subdivisional classes of reactivity are evidenced. In each case, the 6 to 8 most reactive cysteines are not protected by fructose 6-phosphate from chemical labeling and do not seem involved in subsequent enzyme inactivation. Differential labeling studies as well as direct protection experiments in the presence of fructose 6-phosphate, indicate that 12 -SH groups/enzyme oligomer (i.e. three -SH groups per binding site) are protected by the allosteric substrate from the chemical modification. Specific labeling by the differential method of the cysteinyl residues protected by fructose 6- phosphate and further separation of the two types of subunits constituting yeast phosphofructokinase, show that the substrate binding sites are localized exclusively on subunits of beta type. Thus, alpha subunits are not implicated directly in the catalytic mechanism of yeast phosphofructokinase reaction.
