Escherichia coliLon, also known as protease La, is an oligomeric ATP-dependent protease, which functions to degrade damaged and certain short-lived regulatory proteins in the cell. To investigate the kinetic mechanism ofE. coliLon protease, we performed the first pre-steady-state kinetic characterization of the ATPase and peptidase activities of this enzyme. Using rapid quench-flow and fluorescence stopped-flow spectroscopy techniques, we demonstrated that ATP hydrolysis occurs before peptide cleavage, with the former reaction displaying a burst and the latter displaying a lag in product production. The detection of burst kinetics in ATP hydrolysis is indicative of a step after nucleotide hydrolysis being rate-limiting in ATPase turnover. At saturating substrate concentrations, the lag rate constant for peptide cleavage is comparable to thekcatof ATPase, indicating that two hydrolytic processes are coordinated during the first enzyme turnover. The involvement of subunit interaction during enzyme catalysis was detected as positive cooperativity in the binding and hydrolysis of substrates, as well as apparent asymmetry in the ATPase activity in Lon. When our data are taken together, they are consistent with a reaction model in which ATP hydrolysis is used to generate an active enzyme form that hydrolyzes peptide.
