title: Domain movement in rabbit muscle adenylate kinase might involve proline isomerization.
abstract: The fluorescence probe, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS), was used to monitor the induced-fit conformational movement in rabbit muscle adenylate kinase. In 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.1), the time course of ANS binding to rabbit muscle adenylate kinase is a biphasic process. The fast phase completes within the dead-time of the stopped-flow equipment used (about 15 ms), while the slow phase ends in about 10 minutes. In the presence of 2.0 microM peptidyl prolyl cis/trans-isomerase, the rate constant of the slow phase reaction is accelerated about 2.4-fold, suggesting that the domain movement during ANS binding to rabbit muscle adenylate kinase may involve proline isomerization. The activation energy of the slow phase was determined to be 74.6 kJ/mol, which is comparable to the activation energy of proline cis/trans-isomerization (about 80 kJ/mol).
