The human T-cell protein cyclophilin shows high affinity for and is the proposed target of the major immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A (CsA). Cyclophilin also has peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity that is inhibited by CsA with an IC50 of 6 nM, while by contrast a homologous PPIase from Escherichia coli has been found to be much less sensitive to CsA, shown here to be 500-fold less potent at an IC50 of 3000 nM. This E. coli rotamase lacks the single highly conserved tryptophan residue of eukaryotic cyclophilins, and we show here that mutation of the natural F112 to W112 enhances E. coli rotamase susceptibility to CsA inhibition by 23-fold. Correspondingly, the human W121 mutations to F121 or A121 yield cyclophilins with 75- and 200-fold decreased sensitivity to CsA, while kcat/Km values of rotamase activity in a tetrapeptide assay drop only 2- and 13-fold, respectively. This complementary gain and loss of CsA sensitivity to mutation to or from tryptophan validate the indole side chain as a major determinant in immunosuppressant drug recognition and the separation of PPIase catalytic efficiency from CsA affinity.
