In a recent series of kinetic studies (De Haas et al. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1046, 249-257 and references therein) we have demonstrated that synthetic (R)-phospholipid analogues containing a 2-acylaminogroup instead of the 2-acyloxy function found in natural phospholipids, behave as strong competitive inhibitors of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2). We also showed that these analogues strongly bind to the active site of the enzyme but only after their incorporation into a micellar substrate/water interface. In the present study we investigated the interaction of native PLA2 and of an inactive PLA2 in which the active site residue His-48 has been modified by alkylation with 1-bromo-2-octanone, with pure micelles of several of these inhibitors in both enantiomeric forms by means of ultraviolet difference absorption spectroscopy. Our results show that the first interaction step between native or modified enzyme and micellar lipid/water interfaces probably consists of a low-affinity Langmuir-type adsorption characterized by signals arising from the perturbation of the single Trp-3 residue. Once present at the interface the native enzyme is able to bind, in a second step, a single inhibitor molecule of the (R)-configuration in its active site, whereas the (S)-enantiomer is not bound in the active site. The overall dissociation constant of the interfacial phospholipase-inhibitor complex is three orders of magnitude lower for micelles composed of the (R)-isomer than those of the (S)-isomer. The modified PLA2 still adsorbs to micellar lipid/water interfaces but cannot bind either of the two enantiomers into its active site and similar dissociation constants were found for lipid-protein complexes with micelles of either the (R) or the (S) inhibitors. After blanking the ultraviolet signals due to the perturbation of Trp-3 in the initial adsorption step of the enzyme to a micellar surface of a non-inhibitory phospholipid analogue, the progressive binding of a single (R)-inhibitor molecule into the active site could be followed quantitatively by a tyrosine perturbation. These titrations yielded numerical values for the dissociation constants in the interface and provide a possible explanation for the large difference in overall dissociation constants of the complexes between enzyme and micelles of (R)-and (S)-inhibitors. With the use of PLA2 mutants in which each time a single tyrosine was replaced by phenylalanine, the tyrosine residues involved in binding of the monomeric inhibitor molecule were identified as Tyr-69 and Tyr-52.
