Revised Manuscript Received November 29, 1993® abstract: In the X-ray structure of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase at 2.0-A resolution, His-372 was found only 3.8 A away from the zinc and forms a hydrogen-bonding interaction with Asp-327, a bidentate ligand of the zinc at the Ml site. However, His-372 does not directly interact with the zinc atom at the M1 site. In order to investigate the role of the side chain of His-372 in zinc binding and the catalytic mechanism of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, site-directed mutagenesis was used to convert His-372 to alanine. The fact that the His-372-* Ala enzyme has similar zinc binding affinity as the wild-type enzyme indicates that His-372 is not involved in zinc binding at the Ml site. However, the alteredkinetic behavior of the mutant enzyme compared to the wild-type enzyme suggests that the imidazole ring of His-372 plays an indirect role in the catalytic mechanism of theenzyme. The hydrolysis activity of the His-372-* Ala enzyme at pH 8.0 is 10-fold lower than that of the wild-type enzyme. In the presence of a phosphate acceptor at pH 8.0, the mutant enzyme is approximately 80% as active as the wild-type enzyme. Therefore, the His-372—Ala mutation selectively enhances the transphosphorylation activity of the enzyme. The His-372-* Ala enzyme also exhibits 4-and 30-fold decreases in Km as compared to the wild-type enzyme in 0.1 M MOPS buffer and 1.0 M Tris, buffer at pH 8.0, respectively. A change in the rate-determining step at pH 8.0 is also observed for the His-372-* Ala enzyme compared with the wild-type enzyme. The presence of a transient burst in the pre-steady-state kinetics of the His-372-* Ala enzyme indicates that breaking of the covalent phosphoserine bond is the rate-limiting step in the reaction. The lack of incorporation of [32P] P; into the His-372-* Ala enzyme at pH 8.0 suggests the presence of a stable intermediate during the transition from the enzyme-phosphate covalent complex to the enzyme-phosphate noncovalent complex. Taken together, these kinetic results suggest that the hydroxyl group coordinatedto the zinc atom at the Ml site is a weaker nucleophile in the His-372—* Ala enzyme than in the wild-type enzyme. Therefore, the interaction between the side chain of His-372 and Asp-327 may be important for stabilizing the zinc hydroxyl which is the nucleophilic group that is responsible for the breakdown of the phosphoserine intermediate.Alkaline phosphatase isolated from the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli (EC3. 1.3. 1) catalyzes the nonspecific hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters (Reid & Wilson, 1971). The enzyme can also catalyze a transphosphorylation reaction with the transfer of the phosphate from the phosphomonoester to an alcohol (Dayan & Wilson, 1964; Wilson et al., 1964). In E. coli, alkaline phosphatase is a dimeric metalloenzyme, containing two tightly bound zinc atoms and one magnesium atom per monomer. The mechanism of the enzymatic reaction has been thoroughly studied, and a stable phosphoenzyme intermediate with Ser-102 phosphorylated has been isolated (Schwartz & Lipmann, 1961; Engstrom, 1962; Schwartz et al., 1963). Many kinetic and physicochemical studies suggest that, at acidic pH, the hydrolysis of the covalent phosphoserine intermediate (EP,) to form a noncovalent enzyme-phosphate complex (E-Pi) is the rate-limiting step while at alkaline pH the dissociation of the E-Pj complex is the rate-limiting step (Hull et al., 1976; Reid & Wilson, 1971; Gettins & Coleman, 1983a; Gettins et al., 1985; Bloch & Gorby, 1980). The X-ray structure of E. coli alkaline phosphatase has been determined and refined to 2.0 A (Kim & Wyckoff, 1989,
