Notes:
To study the arrangement of substrates at the active site of creatine kinase, we have measured the paramagnetic effects of CrADP, an exchange-incrt paramagnetic analog of MgADP, on the nuclear spin lattice relaxation rates 1 /T1 of the protons of water and the protons and phosphorus nucleus of P-creatine in the presence and absence of rabbit muscle creatine kinase. Relaxivity titrations measuring the paramagnetic effect of CrADP on 1/T1 of water protons at several concentrations of the enzyme in the presence of P-creatine were used to study the binding of CrADP to the enzyme·P-creatine complex. The existence of a ternary enzyme·CrADP-P-creatine complex was confirmed by observing the paramagnetic effects of enzyme-bound CrADP on the 1 /T1 of the 31P nucleus and protons of P-creatine. From the magnitude of paramagnetic effects arising within the enzyme·CrADP·P-creatine complex, using the electron spin relaxation time estimated from the magnetic field dependence of 1 /T1 of fast exchanging water protons, a Cr3+-phosphorus distance of 6.0 Å, and Cr3+-proton distances of 11 and 12 Å, were obtained. These results imply the absence of a direct coordination of the phosphoryl group of P-creatine by the nucleotide-bound metal on creatine kinase but indicate proximity of enzyme-bound substrates and are consistent with van der Waals contact between a phosphoryl oxygen of P-creatine and the hydration sphere of the nucleotide-bound metal. Since the metal ion is coordinated to the γ-phosphoryl group of ATP on the enzyme, the overall migration of the phosphoryl group during phosphoryl transfer is ∼3 Å, toward the nucleotide-bound metal.Creatine kinase failed to catalyze phosphoryl transfer from P-creatine to CrADP as monitored by the disappearance of the 31P NMR signal of P-creatine in a solution containing CrADP, P-creatine and creatine kinase. The ability of an isomer of β,γ-bidentate CrATP to act as a partial substrate and our observation of the absence of phosphoryl transfer from P-creatine to CrADP indicate that metal ion coordination of the transferable phosphoryl group precedes phosphoryl transfer and is a requirement of the creatine kinase reaction.
