Human adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL) deficiency is an inherited metabolic disease in which the majority of the patients are compound heterozygotes for the mutations that occur in the ASL gene. Starting with purified wild type and single mutant human ASL, we generated in vitro hybrids which mimic compound heterozygote ASL. For this study, we used His-tag WT/non-His-tag WT, His-tag WT/non-His tag R396C, His-tag WT/non-His tag R396H, His-tag R194C/non-His tag R396C, and His-tag L311V/non-His tag R396H enzyme pairs. We generated various hybrids by denaturing pairs of enzymes in 1 M guanidinium chloride and renaturing them by removing the denaturant. The hybrids were separated on a Ni-nitrilo-triacetic acid-agarose column based on the number of His-tags present in the enzyme tetramer. Analytical ultracentrifuge data indicate that the hybrids have predominant amounts of heterotetramers. Analysis of the Vmax values of the hybrids indicate that most of the subunits behave independently; however, the hybrid tetramers retain weak positive cooperativity indicating that there is some interaction between the different subunit types. The interactions between WT and mutant subunits may be advantageous to the parents of ASL deficient patients, while the interactions between some mutant subunits may assist heterozygote ASL deficient patients.
