Thimet oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.15; TOP) is a Zn(II) endopeptidase implicated in the processing of numerous physiological peptides. Though its role in selecting and processing peptides is not fully understood, it is believed that flexible loop regions lining the substrate-binding site allow the enzyme to conform to substrates of varying structure. The present study describes mutant forms of TOP in which Gly or Tyr residues in loop region 599-611 were replaced, individually and in combination, to elucidate the mechanism of substrate selection by TOP. Decreases in kcat observed upon mutation of Tyr605 and Tyr612 demonstrate that these residues contribute to the efficient cleavage of most substrates. Modeling studies showing that a hinge-bend movement would bring both Tyr612 and Tyr605 within H-bond distance of the cleaved peptide bond supports this role. Thus, molecular modeling studies support a key role in transition-state stabilization of this enzyme by Tyr605. Interestingly, kinetic parameters showed that a bradykinin derivative is processed distinctly from the other substrates tested suggesting an alternative catalytic mechanism may be employed for this particular substrate. The data demonstrate that neither Tyr605 nor Tyr612 are necessary for the hydrolysis of this substrate. Relative to other substrates, the bradykinin derivative is also unaffected by Gly mutations in the loop. This distinction suggests that the role of glycine residues in the loop is to properly orient these Tyr residues in order to accommodate varying substrate structures. This also opens the possibility that certain substrates may be cleaved by an open form of the enzyme.
