Two mutants of the spinach ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR) were constructed, expressed by using a heterologous expression system previously described (Aliverti, A., Jansen, T., Zanetti, G., Ronchi, S., Herrmann, R. G., and Curti, B. (1990) Eur. J. Biochem. 191, 551- 555), and purified to homogeneity. The mutant enzymes FNR-Lys116Gln and FNR-Lys244Gln were similar to the wild-type enzyme in the physicochemical properties measured; however, both enzymes showed a lower activity. Steady-state kinetic analyses and NADP+ binding measurements of the mutant proteins have revealed that the Lys116Gln enzyme had a catalytic efficiency (kcat/KmNADPH) 500-fold lower than that of the wild-type enzyme, and its interaction with NADP+ was greatly impaired. The Lys244Gln enzyme instead had almost the same kcat in the ferricyanide reductase reaction as the wild-type enzyme, while higher values of KmNADPH and Kd for NADP+ were observed. Thus, protein engineering has enabled us to define the role of Lys-116 and Lys-244 in ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase; whereas Lys-244 contributes to the stabilization of the Michaelis complex, the Lys-116 side chain plays an important role also in the further steps of the catalytic cycle, because both Km and kcat are highly affected by the mutation.
