The key role in strong AMP binding to muscle isozyme play K20, T177 and Q179. Muscle FBPase which has been mutated towards the liver enzyme (K20E/T177M/Q179C) is inhibited by AMP about 26 times weaker than the wild-type muscle enzyme, but it binds the fluorescent AMP analogue, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-monophosphate (TNP-AMP), similarly to the wild-type liver enzyme. The reverse mutation of liver FBPase towards the muscle isozyme significantly increases the affinity of the mutant to TNP-AMP. High affinity to the inhibitor but low sensitivity to AMP of the liver triple mutant suggest differences between the isozymes in the mechanism of allosteric signal transmission. | lld:pubmed |
