Lon is an ATP-dependent protease that degrades unstructured proteins. In this study, we have examined the ATP dependency ofEscherichia coliLon catalyzing the hydrolysis of a defined fluorogenic peptide known as S3. Steady-state velocity analyses of S3 degradation in the presence of ATP, or the nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue AMPPNP, indicate a sequential mechanism, and thekcatof the reaction was 7-fold higher in the presence of ATP. Comparing the pre-steady-state time courses of the ATP- versus AMPPNP-mediated S3 hydrolysis reveals that ATP hydrolysis accelerates a slow step before the chemical cleavage of peptide. Product inhibition studies indicate that ADP is competitive versus ATP but noncompetitive versus the S3 substrate. In the absence of S3, Lon exhibits a 10−20-fold higher affinity for ADP than ATP. However the S3 substrate weakens the affinity of Lon for ADP by 7−19-fold, indicating that this peptide also promotes ADP/ATP exchange in Lon similar to that observed with protein substrates. The hydrolyzed peptide product, Pd1, exhibited noncompetitive inhibition versus both ATP and S3 substrates. Together with the small change in theKiof Pd1 at increasing S3 concentrations, the Pd1 inhibition data support the existence of an isomechanism in Lon catalyzing the hydrolysis of S3 in the presence of ATP or AMPPNP. Upon the basis of the collected data, an extended kinetic mechanism is proposed for the ATP-dependent peptidase mechanism of Lon.
