title: Involvement of the conserved histidine-188 residue in the L-lactate dehydrogenase from Thermus caldophilus GK24 in allosteric regulation by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
abstract: The conserved histidine-188 residue of the L-lactate dehydrogenase of Thermus caldophilus GK 24, which is allosterically activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, has been exchanged to phenylalanine by site-specific mutagenesis. In the mutant enzyme the strong stimulatory effect of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is abolished. The analysis of the pH dependence of the activity indicates that the positive charge of the conserved His-188 residue is important for the interaction of the enzyme with the allosteric effector.
