Revised Manuscript Received November 14, 1994® abstract: CDP-6-deoxy-A3| 4-glucoseen reductase (E3), which catalyzes the reduction of the C-3 deoxygenation step during the formation of CDP-ascarylose, a 3, 6-dideoxyhexose found in the lipopolysaccharide of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, has been expressed at high level in Escherichia coli (670 times over the wild-type strain). This flavoenzyme, which also contains one plant ferredoxin type [2Fe-2S] cluster, was inactivated by 5, 5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid)(DTNB) and/V-ethylmaleimide. In both cases the inactivation followed a pseudo first order kinetics. The second order rate constant for the reaction of DTNB with E3 was 0.25 mM-1 min-1 at 20 C, pH 8.0. Detailed characterization of the inactivated enzyme showed that neither the flavin nor the [2Fe-2S] cluster was altered during inactivation. Since this inactivation was reversible by treating the inactivated enzyme with 1 mM D, L-dithiothreitol (DTT), it was concluded that only cysteine residues were modified during inactivation. Analysis of the inactivation using the method developed by Tsou revealed that two cysteines react with DTNB at similar rates and modification of either one is enough to impair E3’s activity. Tryptic digestion of E3 labeled with/V-ethyl [2, 3-14C] maleimide, followed by fractionation of the digest by high performance liquid chromatography, gave two labeled peptides, both of which were separately isolated as a pair of interconvertible diastereoisomers. Sequence analysis of these labeled peptides allowed the identification of Cys-75 and Cys-296 as the reactive cysteine residues. Interestingly, the C75S and C296S mutant proteins exhibit identical physical and comparable catalytic properties as the wild-type enzyme. Since Cys-296 is a conserved residue in the NAD (P) bindingdomain of enzymes belonging to the same class, this residue may be involved in stabilizing the charge-transfer complex between E3 and NADH, thus facilitating hydridetransfer from the nicotinamide nucleotide to flavin. A chemically modified Cys-75 which is immediately adjacentto the [2Fe-2S] center in E3 may prevent the properjuxtaposition of the redox centers and thus impede electron transfer leadingto enzyme inactivation. These results may be useful for placing constraints on the peptide folding comprising the active site of E3 for electron transfer between NADH, FAD, and the [2Fe-2S] center.
