Human erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase contains a reactive lysyl residue, which can be labelled with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The binding of one mole of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate per mole of enzyme subunit produces substantial inactivation. The substrate glucose-6-phosphate prevents the loss of activity, suggesting that the reaction site is close to the substrate-binding site. A tryptic peptide containing the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-binding lysyl residue has been isolated and characterised. The reactive lysyl residue has been identified in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase amino acid sequence. Comparison with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from other sources shows a high homology with a peptide containing a reactive lysyl residue, isolated from the enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides also contains a region highly homologous with the sequence around the reactive lysyl residue in the human enzyme. The results of this communication provide the first direct evidence for the association of an essential catalytic function with a specific region of the molecule of human erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
