Deuteriation of all aromatic protons of gene 32 protein (g32P) from phage T4, followed by selective introduction of specific protons, has allowed the precise identification of the number and magnitude of the chemical shift changes induced in the aromatic protons when g32P binds noncooperatively or cooperatively to nucleotides. Signals from five Tyr residues are shifted by binding of g32P to d(pA)8 or d(pA)40-60; however, the change from noncooperative, d(pA)8, to cooperative, d(pA)40-60, binding causes significant increases in the magnitudes of the shifts for only two of these Tyr signals. These two Tyr residues may interact directly with the nucleotide bases, while the shifts associated with the other three Tyr may be due to conformational changes in g32P upon ssDNA binding. Similar conclusions can be drawn for two of the six Phe residues whose protons undergo shifts upon nucleotide binding. Observation of selected proton signals allows for the first time detection by 1H NMR of changes in the proton signals from two Trp residues upon nucleotide binding. The side chains of two Tyr, one or two Phe, and one Trp are probably directly involved in nucleotide base-protein interactions. As assayed by the signals from the H2 and H8 protons of adenine, the bases of a bound nucleotide are undergoing a fast chemical exchange in the noncooperative mode of binding, but shift to slow exchange upon assuming the cooperative mode of ssDNA interaction. When bound to a polynucleotide, the A domain of g32P (residues 254-301) becomes more mobile, as reflected in sharpening of the 1H NMR signals from the A domain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
