[31P-NMR spectra of aspartate aminotransferase from cytosol of the chicken heart].
31P NMR spectra of the cytosolic chicken aspartate aminotransferase have been recorded at 161.7 MHz in the pH range of 5.7 to 8.2. The 31P chemical shift was found to be pH-dependent with a pK of 6.85; difference in the chemical shift at pH 5.7 and 8.2 is only 0.35 ppm. The monoanion-dianion transition of 5'-phosphate group of a model Schiff base of pyridoxal phosphate with 2-aminobutanol in methanol is accompanied by a change in 31P chemical shift of 5.2 ppm. It is inferred that the phosphate group of the protein--bound coenzyme is in dianionic form throughout the investigated pH range; the small pH-dependent change of chemical shift may be due to a protein conformational change that affects O-P-O bond angle. In the presence of the 0.1 M succinate, 31P chemical shift of the enzyme remains constant in the pH range of 5.0 to 8.3.
