Revised Manuscript Received November 30, 1994® abstract: Crystallographic studies indicate that the loop between a-helix 8 and/3-strand H (the 8H loop) which borders the effector site of Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase (BsPFK) is involved in the allosteric mechanism of the enzyme [Schirmer, T., and Evans, P. R.(1990) Nature 343, 140—145]. The residue at one end of this loop, glycine 212, has beenproposed to be a pivot about which the loop hinges. Using site-directed mutagenesis, glycine 212 was replaced with valine (G212V). Steady-state kinetic analysis and ligand binding studies on the altered and native PFKs showed that the G212V substitution resulted in discernible changes at the effector site. The mutated PFK required a 3-fold higher concentration of the allosteric inhibitor phosphoenolpyruvate than did the native enzymeto cause the same level of inhibition. The altered PFK had a 2-fold higher dissociation constant for the allosteric activator GDP than the wild-type enzyme. More importantly, whereas the nativePFK was fully activated by 1 mM GDP from its PEP-inhibited T-state, the altered enzyme was only marginally activated. On the other hand, the G212V mutation resulted in no changes at the catalytic site of BsPFK. The catalytic rate constant &cat remained unchanged. The altered PFK had the same Km values for ATP and fructose-6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) as did the wild-type enzyme. Furthermore, starting from the same PEP-inhibited T-state, both enzymes gave identical sigmoidal responses to increasing Fru-6-P concentration, indicating that Fru-6-P can activate both to the R-state.The activity of an allosteric enzyme can be regulated homotropically through the binding of a cooperative substrate in the active site and heterotropic ally by the binding of allosteric effectors in the effector site [reviewed by Perutz (1990)]. An example of such regulation is seen in the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK, 1*** 56EC 2.7. 1.11), which catalyzesthe ATP-dependent phosphorylation of
