Paul L. DeAngelis and Charles G. Glabe** Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92717 Received April 19, 1988; Revised Manuscript Received June 30, 1988 abstract: Bindin, the acrosomalsperm adhesion protein of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, binds specifically and with high affinity (Ald= 10~ 8 M) to egg sulfated fucans in the high ionic strength milieu of seawater (0.55 M salt). Previous studies indicated that the negatively charged sulfate groups of the polysaccharide are critical for bindingwhich suggested a binding mechanism involving basicresidues of bindin. Wefound that the binding of fucan to bindin or polyarginine is stable at the ionic strength of seawater, whereas the binding of fucan to polylysine or polyhistidine is inhibited by 50% or more at this ionic strength. Group-specific modification of either arginine, lysine, or histidine residues of bindin results in a substantial inactivation of fucan binding activity. Preincubation of bindin with fucan can almost completely protect bindin from inactivation by arginine-specific reagents, butanedione and phenylglyoxal, but only moderately slowed the inactivation by the histidine reagent diethyl pyrocarbonate. In contrast, prior fucan binding could not prevent loss of activity by the reaction of citraconic anhydride with lysine residues. Other sulfated polysaccharides which do not interact strongly with bindin did not protectbinding from phenylglyoxal-mediated inactivation when 800-3000-fold more polysaccharide than fucan was used during the preincubation before modification. We found that the larger and more hydrophobic argininemodifying reagents, camphorquinone-10-sulfonic acid and cyclohexanedione, fail to inactivate fucan binding, suggesting that essential arginine residues may reside in an environment with restricted accessibility to these reagents. Parallel kinetic studies monitoring [14C] phenylglyoxal incorporation and fucan binding inactivation indicate that several of the four total arginine residues may be critical for fucan binding. We suggest that the bindin arginine guanido moieties may form cyclic, resonating hydrogen-bonding systems with sulfate esters and the complementary orientation of the arginine residues in relationship to the sulfate esters on the various polysaccharide structures may determine the observed specificity of polysaccharide binding to bindin.
