Revised Manuscript Received November 6, 1989 abstract: Although manyproteins are known to be regulated via reversible phosphorylation, little is known about the mechanism by which the covalent modification of seryl, threonyl, or tyrosyl residues alters the activities of the target systems. To address this question, modified versions of Bacillus subtilus HPr, a protein component of the bacterial phosphotransferase system, havebeen studied by'Hnmr spectroscopy. Phosphorylation at Ser46 or a Ser to Asp substitution at this position inactivates HPr [Reizer, J., Sutrina, S. L., Saier, M. H., Stewart, G. C., Peterkofsky, A., & Reddy, P.(1989) EMBO J. 8, 2111-2120], Two-dimensional spectra of these two modified proteins display nearly identical proton chemical shifts that differ significantly from those observed in the spectra of the unphosphorylated, wild-type protein and of functionally active HPr mutants. The results demonstrate that the functional inactivation of HPr brought about by the serine to aspartate mutation is accompanied by the same structural changes that occur when HPr is phosphorylated at Ser46.^ IReversible phosphorylation of proteins, catalyzed by protein kinases and phosphatases, is a widely used mechanism for regulation of cellularactivities in both eukaryotesand pro-karyotes (Krebs, 1985; Cozzone, 1988). There is, however, only one protein for which there is structural information for both its unphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms; glycogen phosphorylase has been shown by X-ray crystallographic techniques to undergo a conformational change upon phos-phorylation of Ser14 (Sprang et al., 1988). These changes affect the subunit interface and influence theenzyme’s re-sponse to allosteric regulators. Clearly, structural studies on
