We report here the identification of the amino acid residue which forms the covalent intermediate in the catalytic mechanism of bovine intestinal 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase and the sequence of the neighboring amino acids. The active site of 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase was labeled using thymidine 5'-[alpha-32P]triphosphate as substrate. A single labeled cyanogen bromide peptide was isolated using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. After subdigestion with endoproteinase Lys-C and chymotrypsin, the entire amino acid sequence of the 60-residue active site peptide was obtained using automated Edman degradation. All of the radioactivity of the active site peptide was localized to a hexapeptide with sequence Thr-Phe-Pro-Asn-His-Tyr. Phosphoamino acid analysis of this peptide indicated that the labeled residue was threonine. We are not aware of any other enzymes in which threonine is phosphorylated as a covalent intermediate in the catalytic mechanism.
