Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
D173N/D175N complete loss of adenylyl-removing activity, while adenylyltransferase activity is retained Escherichia coli
D463N/P467A/L469G mutant enzyme has approximately one-half to one-third of the adenylyl-removing activity observed with the wild-type enzyme, and this adenylyl-removing activity is inhibited by PII and by glutamine like the wild-type enzyme. The mutant enzyme also has approximately one-half to one-third of the adenylyltransferase activity when compared to the wild-type enzyme, and this activity is regulated normally by glutamine, PII, and PII-UMP Escherichia coli
D701N/D703N complete loss of adenylyltransferase activity, while adenylyl-removing activity is retained Escherichia coli
additional information truncated versions of ATase missing the C-terminal domain lacked both adenylyltransferase and the adenylyl-removing activity, suggesting a role for the C-terminal nucleotidyltransferase domain in both activities. The purified C-terminal nucleotidyltransferase domain and larger polypeptides containing this domain have significant basal AT activity, which is stimulated by glutamine. A truncated enzyme lacking amino acids 456-577 from the central region shows complete loss of adenylyl-removing activity, while adenylyltransferase activity is retained. Mutation converts signal transduction protein PII from an activator to an inhibitor Escherichia coli
R499A/R501A/D505N/P509A/L511G mutant enzyme completely lacks adenylyl-removing activity but retains adenylyltransferase activity. Mutant exhibits significant basal adenylyltransferase activity in the absence of any activators Escherichia coli

Subunits

Subunits Comment Organism
More the N-terminal nucleotidyltransferase domain of the bifunctional enzyme contains the adenylyl-removing (AR) active site, and the C-terminal nucleotidyltransferase domain contains the adenylyltransferase (AT) active site. The enzyme contains a glutamine binding site, and glutamine increased the affinity for PII. The enzyme appears to contain multiple sites for the binding of PII and PII-UMP Escherichia coli
