Interaction with troponin T from white skeletal muscle restores in white skeletal muscle AMP deaminase those allosteric properties removed by limited proteolysis.
Limited proteolysis of rabbit skeletal muscle AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.6) with trypsin results in conversion of the enzyme to a form which is no longer inhibited by ATP and exhibits hyperbolic kinetics even at low K+ concentration and in the absence of ADP. The interaction with troponin T from white skeletal muscle or with the phosphorylated 42-residue N-terminal peptide of troponin T restores in the trypsin-treated AMP deaminase the sensitivity to adenine nucleotides and increases the KA for K+ activation of the enzyme from 1 mM to 12 mM, this effect being diametrically opposite to that exerted by limited proteolysis on the native enzyme. Treatment of the N-terminal peptide of troponin T with alkaline phosphatase abolishes the modulating properties of the peptide, suggesting that phosphorylation-dephosphorylation processes may be involved in the regulation of the enzyme.
