title: Conformation of manganese(II)-nucleotide complexes bound to rabbit muscle creatine kinase: 13C NMR measurements using [2-13C]ATP and [2-13C]ADP.
abstract: Conformations of cation-nucleotide complexes bound to rabbit muscle creatine kinase were investigated by measuring paramagnetic effects on 13C spin relaxation in E.Mn[2-13C]ATP and E.Mn[2-13C]ADP at three different frequencies, viz., 50, 75, and 125 MHz, and as a function of temperature in the range of 7-35 degrees C (at 75 MHz). Arrhenius plots of the temperature dependencies of relaxation rates show a positive slope with low activation energies of 1.3 +/- 0.2 kcal/mol and 2.0 +/- 0.2 kcal/mol for E.Mn ATP and E.MnADP, respectively. The relaxation rates of both complexes show strong frequency dependence, indicating that these rates are not exchange limited. Analysis of the data yields Mn(II)-2C distances of 10.0 +/- 0.5 A for E.MnATP and 8.6 +/- 0.5 A for E.MnADP. These data were interpreted, along with previously published information, on the location of the cation with respect to the phosphate chain [Jarori, G. K., Ray, B.D., & Nageswara Rao, B. D. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 3487-3494], and on the adenosine conformation [Murali, N., Jarori, G. K., & Nageswara Rao, B. D. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 12941-12948] in these complexes. The Mn(II)-2C distances depend on the orientation of the phosphate chain relative to the adenosine moiety. Conformational searches were performed by varying the two torsion angles, phi 1 (C4'-C5'-O5'-P alpha), and phi 2 (C5'-O5'-P alpha-O alpha beta), along with CHARMm energy computations, in order to determine acceptable conformations compatible with the distances determined. The significant difference in the Mn(II)-2C distances in E.MnATP and E.MnADP is indicative of the structural alterations occurring at the active site as the enzyme turns over.
