Novel tryptophan substitutions, surrounding the nucleotide bound in catalytic sites, were introduced intoEscherichiacoliF1-ATPase. The mutant enzymes were purified and studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. One cluster of Trp substitutions, consisting of β-Trp-404, β-Trp-410, β-Asp-158 (lining the adenine-binding pocket), and β-Trp-153 (close to the α/β-phosphates), showed the same fluorescence responses to MgADP, MgAMPPNP, and MgATP and the same nucleotide binding pattern with MgADP and MgAMPPNP, with one site of higher and two sites of lower affinity. Therefore, in absence of catalytic turnover (and of γ-subunit rotation), sites 2 and 3 appeared similar in affinity, and the region of the catalytic site sensed by these Trp substitutions did not change conformation with different nucleotides. In contrast, α-Trp-291 and β-Trp-297, both close to the γ-phosphate, showed very different fluorescence responses to MgADP versus MgAMPPNP, and in these cases the response was due exclusively or predominantly to nucleotide binding at the first, high-affinity catalytic site, thus allowing specific detection of this site. Titration with MgATP showed that the high-affinity site was present under conditions of steady-state,VmaxMgATP hydrolysis.
