title: Requirement for GLY-60 of Escherichia coli adenylyl cyclase for ATP binding and catalytic activity.
abstract: The region of Escherichia coli adenylyl cyclase spanned by glycine-55 to threonine-65 was tested for its importance for enzyme activity. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to replace glycine-55 and glycine-60 as well as lysine-59, leucine-63 and threonine-65 with other amino acids. While substitution of glycine-55 with aspartic acid produced no significant change in kinetic parameters, the change of glycine-60 to aspartic acid or asparagine eliminated binding to 8-azido-ATP and decreased the Vmax (two orders of magnitude) and Km (factor of four-five). Smaller effects on kinetic parameters were observed with substitutions of lysine-59, leucine-63 or threonine-65.
