The interaction of ATP with the active site of hexokinase is unknown since the crystal structure of the hexokinase−ATP complex is unavailable. It was found that the ATP binding site of brain hexokinase is homologous to that of actin, heat shock protein hsc70, and glycerol kinase. On the basis of these similarities, the ATP molecule was positioned in the catalytic domain of human brain hexokinase, which was modeled from the X-ray structure of yeast hexokinase. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed to test the function of residues presumably involved in interaction with the tripolyphosphoryl moiety of ATP. Asp532, which is thought to be involved in binding the Mg2+ion of the MgATP2-complex, was mutated to Lys and Glu. Thekcatvalues decreased 1000- and 200-fold, respectively, for the two mutants. Another residue, Thr680 was proposed to interact with the γ-phosphoryl group of ATP through hydrogen bonds and was mutated to Val and Ser. Thekcatvalue of the Thr680Val mutant decreased 2000-fold, whereas thekcatvalue of the Thr680Ser decreased only 2.5-fold, implying the importance of the hydroxyl group. TheKmand dissociation constant values for either ATP or glucose of all the above mutants showed little or no change relative to the wild-type enzyme. TheKivalues for the glucose 6-phosphate analogue 1,5-anhydroglucitol 6-phosphate, were the same as that of the wild-type enzyme, and the inhibition was reversed by inorganic phosphate (Pi) for all four mutants. The circular dichroism spectra of the mutants were the same as that of the wild-type enzyme. The results from the site-directed mutagenesis demonstrate that the presumed interactions of investigated residues with ATP are important for the stabilization of the transition state.
