A recent paper from our laboratories [Hibler, D. W., Stolowich, N. J., Reynolds,. A., Gerlt, J. A., Wilde, J. A., & Bolton, P. H.(1987) Biochemistry 26, 6278] described the generation of site-directed substitutions for the putative general base Glu-43 in the active site of Staphylococcal nuclease (SNase) and the use of* H NMR spectroscopy to characterize the effect of the substitutions on the conformations of the mutant proteins. The replacements for Glu-43 (Asp, Gin, Asn, Ser, and Ala) both decreased the catalytic efficiency and changed the one-and two-dimensional NMR spectral properties of the mutant enzymes. We have prepared and studied the NMR spectral properties of several samples of deuteriated wild-type SNase that allowsequence-specific resonance assignments for several aromatic and aliphatic amino acid side chains that experience changes both in normal one-dimensional spectra and in two-dimensional NOESY spectra. Due to severe spectral congestion of resonances in the one-and two-dimensional spectra of protiated SNase, the assignments would havebeen difficult, if not impossible, to obtain without deuteriation of selected amino acids. The spectra we have obtained demonstrate that changes in NOE intensities involve a valine residue that is spatially adjacent to two phenylalanine residues; given the X-ray structure for SNase [Cotton, F. A., Hazen, EE, & Legg, M. J.(1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 2551], these residues must be Val-74, Phe-34, and Phe-76. In addition, a leucine residue experiencing changes in NOE intensities spatially adjacent to Val-74 and Phe-34 can be assigned to Leu-25. We have also obtained spectra of mutant enzymes with amino acid substitutions of these and spatially adjacent residues that reveal significant changes in the upfield-shifted methyl regions, thereby supporting our assignments. These assignments demonstrate that substitutions at residue 43 in the active site produce a conformational change that extends into a region of the protein molecule that is between 15 (Leu-25) and 30 Á (Phe-76) from the position of the substitution. This now unequivocal conclusion regarding the extent and magnitude of conformational changes in mutants of SNase in which active-site residues have been replaced by site-directed mutagenesis emphasizes the caution that must be exercised in quantitatively interpreting the effects of (specific or nonspecific) amino acid substitutions on the catalytic efficiency of mutated enzymes.Techniques are now available for the systematic alteration of the primary structure of an enzyme so that structure-function relationships in catalysis might be investigated (Ackers & Smith, 1985; Leather barrow & Fersht, 1986; Gerlt, 1987; Knowles, 1987; Shaw, 1987). We have altered the amino acid at position 43 in Staphylococcal nuclease (SNase), which in the wild-type enzyme is the putative glutamate
