Revised Manuscript Received February 25, 1994• abstract: Heterodimeric quaternary structures for two enzyme complexes fromLactobacillus acidophilus R-26 exhibiting deoxycytidine kinase/deoxyadenosine kinase (I) and deoxyguanosine kinase/deoxyadenosine kinase (II) activities have been proven by the following steps:(1) separation of each complex into two components on SDS-PAGE at pH 6.6;(2) N-terminal amino acid sequencing of each component;(3) functional assignment of each component by differential limited proteolysis. The third step was facilitated by the finding that the binding of a specific end-product inhibitor, dNTP, to each kinase active site makes the corresponding kinase subunit resistant to trypsin, while leaving the heterologous kinase subunit susceptible to proteolysis. Analysis on SDS-PAGE has revealed only two fragments (15.8 and 11.0 kDa) following proteolysis of dCyd kinase/dAdo kinase (I) with trypsin in the presence of dATP. This may indicate that the kinase polypeptide chain (27.2 kDa) not protected by dNTP is cut by trypsin at a single specific site, with concomitant loss of activity. Thus, this work presents a unique approach to the clarification of structure and function of enzymes composed of heterologous subunits.
