Enzyme II permeases of the phosphoenolpyruvate:glycose phosphotransferase system (PTS) comprise one to five separately encoded polypeptides, but most contain similar domains (IIA, IIB, IIC). The phosphoryl group is transferred from one domain to another, with histidine as the phosphoryl acceptor in IIA and cysteine the acceptor in certain IIB domains. IIBChb is a phosphocarrier in the uptake/phosphorylation of the chitin disaccharide, (GlcNAc)2 , by Escherichia coli, and is unusual because it is separately encoded and soluble. Both the crystal and solution structures of a IIBChb mutant (Cys10Ser) have been reported. In the present studies, homogeneous phospho-IIBrChb was isolated, and the phosphoryl-Cys linkage established by 31P-NMR spectroscopy. Rate constants for the hydrolysis of phospho-IIBChb plotted versus pH gave the same shape peak reported for the model compound, butyl thiophosphate, but was shifted about 4 pH units. Evidence is presented for a stable complex between homogeneous Cys10SerIIBChb (which cannot be phosphorylated) and phospho-IIAChb, but not with IIAChb. The complex (a tetramer (Keyhani et al, J. Biol. Chem., accompanying manuscript)) contains equimolar quantities of the two proteins, and has been chemically cross-linked. It appears to be an analogue of the transition state complex in the reaction: phospho-IIAChb + IIBChb {double arrows} IIAChb + phospho-IIBChb. This is apparently the first report of the isolation of a transition state analogue in a protein-protein phosphotransfer reaction.
