Revised Manuscript Received April 20, 1992 abstract: Heavy-atom isotope effects and steady-state kinetic parameters were measured for the catalytic trimer of an active site mutant of aspartate transcarbamoylase, T55A, to assess the role of Thr 55 in catalysis. The binding of carbamoyl phosphate to the T55A mutant was decreased by 2 orders of magnitude relative to the wild-type enzymewhereas the affinities for aspartateand succinate were not markedly altered. This indicates that Thr 55 plays a significant role in the binding of CbmP. If, as had been suggested previously, Thr 55 assists in the polarization of the carbonyl group of CbmP, the carbon isotope effect for the T55A mutant should increase relative to that observed for the wild-type enzyme. However, the opposite is seen, indicating that Thr 55 is not involved in stabilizing the oxyanion in the transition state. Quantitative analysis of a series of 13C and 15N isotope effects suggested that the rate-determining step in the reaction catalyzed by T55A trimer may be a conformational change in the protein subsequent toformation of the Michaelis complex. Thus, Thr 55 may facilitate a conformational change in the enzyme that is a prerequisite for catalysis. An altered active site environment in the binary and Michaelis complexes with T55A trimer is reflected in the pH profiles for log V, log (V/K) asp, and pK {succinate, which show a displacement in the pK values of ionizing residues involved in aspartate binding and catalysis relative to the wild-type enzyme. Inhibition of the activity of T55A trimer bythe bisubstrate analogue A-(phosphonoacetyl)-L-aspartate was competitive with respect to aspartate, and the initial velocity pattern was of the intersecting type. These results indicate that the threonine toalanine mutation alters the kinetic mechanism from steady-state ordered to rapid-equilibrium random.^) n the basis of the crystal structure of aspartate trans-carbamoylase (ATCase) 1 ligated to the bisubstrate analogue N-(phosphonoacety 1)-l-aspartate (PALA), it has been inferred that the active site residue, Thr 55, interacts with both the carbonyl oxygen and phosphate moieties of carbamoyl phos-phate (CbmP)(Krause et al., 1987). This hypothesis led Lipscomb and co-workers to speculate thatThr 55 may participate in catalysis by assisting in polarizing the carbonyl group of CbmP (Gouaux et al., 1987). Xu and Kantrowitz (1989) concurred with this proposal after noting that the replacement of Thr 55 by alanine resulted in a reduction of the maximal activity by a factor of 5 relative to the wild-type enzyme. In the previous paper (Waldrop et al., 1992a), it was shown that the application of heavy-atom isotope effects could provide valuable information in determining how an active site mu-
