The 31P NMR of the covalently bound phosphate group at the active site of rabbit muscle phosphoglucomutase was examined by means of Fourier transform NMR spectroscopy. At a pD [log of the reciprocal of the deuterium ion concentration] of 7.9, the chemical shift of the 31P nucleus is 3.8 .+-. 0.1 ppm downfield from 85% H3PO4; this shift is close to that of phosphoserine (dianionic form). Proton decoupling experiments suggest that the P of the enzymic phosphate group is coupled to protons with chemical shifts similar to those of phosphoserine. In D2O [deuterium oxide], with proton decoupling, the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse diamagnetic relaxaton times in solutions of 1.6 mM phosphoenzyme yields an approximate correlation time of 10-7 s for the 31P nucleus of the enzyme. This is within the range of values expected for tumbling of the entire protein molecule and suggests that the covalently attached phosphate group is immobilized or frozen at the active site of the enzyme by means of noncovalent interactions with adjacent groups. Consistent with this, the pKa of the enzymic phosphate is significantly lower than that of phosphoserine. Binding of the diamagnetic activator, Mg2+, causes little or no change in the chemical shift of the resonance of the enzymic phosphorus from pD = 5.3 to 7.6, a downfield shift (-0.5 .+-. 0.1 ppm) at pD = 8.6, but an upfield shift (0.8 .+-. 0.1 ppm) for that of phosphoserine, suggesting that bound Mg2+ is not coordinated to the enzymic phosphate. Independent evidence against direct coordination is provided by the paramagnetic effects of Ni2+ bound at the active site on the relaxation rates of the enzymic phosphorus. By assessing the paramagnetic effect of bound Ni2+ on both the longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates of the observed resonance, and by using correlation times determined for H2O proton relaxation induced by the Ni2+ complex, a range of Ni2+ to phosphorus distances of 4-6 .ANG. is calculated. These distances suggest a second sphere interaction between the enzyme-bound metal and the enzymic phosphate group. Bound Ni2+ also markedly decreases the integrated intensity of the 31P resonance. Although the reason for this intensity decrease is incompletely explained, the present data establish the close proximity of the bound metal ion and the active site phosphoserine on phosphoglucomutase.
