A single amino acid substitution (Asp to Asn) at position 138 of Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) was introduced in the tufA gene clone by oligonucleotide site-directed mutagenesis. The mutated tufA gene was then expressed in maxicells. The properties of [35S]methionine-labeled mutant and wild type EF-Tu were compared by in vitro assays. The Asn-138 mutation greatly reduced the protein's affinity for GDP; however, this mutation dramatically increased the protein's affinity for xanthosine 5'-diphosphate. The mutant protein forms a stable complex with Phe-tRNA and xanthosine 5'-triphosphate, which binds to ribosomes, whereas it does not form a complex with Phe- tRNA and GTP (10 microM). These results suggest that in EF- Tu.nucleoside diphosphate complexes, amino acid residue 138 must interact with the substituent on C-2 of the purine ring. Thus, in wild type EF-Tu, Asp-138 would hydrogen bond to the 2-amino group of GDP, and in the mutant EF-Tu, Asn-138 would form an equivalent hydrogen bond with the 2-carbonyl group of xanthosine 5'-diphosphate. Aspartic acid 138 is conserved in the homologous sequences of all GTP regulatory proteins. This mutation would allow one to specifically alter the nucleotide specificity of other GTP regulatory proteins.
