Abstract

5'-(p-(Fluorosulphonyl)[14C]benzoyl)adenosine (FSBA) was synthesized and used as a probe to study the ATP-binding site of smooth-muscle myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK). FSBA modified both free MLCK and calmodulin/MLCK complex, resulting in inactivation of the kinase activity. Nearly complete protection of the calmodulin/MLCK complex against FSBA modification was obtained by addition of excess ATP whereas MLCK activity alone was lost in a dose-dependent manner even in the presence of excess ATP. These results suggest that FSBA modified ATP-binding sites and ATP-independent sites, and the latter sites are protected by calmodulin binding. The results also suggest that the ATP-binding site is accessible to the nucleotide substrate regardless of calmodulin binding. The FSBA-labelled MLCK was completely proteolysed by alpha-chymotrypsin, and the 14C-labelled peptides were isolated and sequenced. The sequence of the labelled peptide was Ala-Gly-X-Phe, where X is the labelled residue. The sequence was compared with the known MLCK sequence, and the labelled residue was identified as lysine-548, which is located downstream of the GXGXXG motif conserved among ATP-utilizing enzymes.
