    Journal: Biochemistry; 1984 Dec 18; 23(26):6377-82. PubMed ID: 6529553.
    Abstract:
    The fluorescent nucleotide analogue 5'-[p-(fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]-1,N6-ethenoadenosine (5'-FSB epsilon A) was shown previously to react at a GTP inhibitory site on bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase. The incorporation was limited to 1.28 mol of reagent/mol of subunit and was attributed to 0.95 mol of modified tyrosine/mol of subunit and 0.33 mol of modified lysine/mol of subunit, quantitatively accounting for the total incorporation prior to acid hydrolysis [Jacobson, M. A., & Colman, R. F. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4247-4257]. The specific tyrosyl peptide modified by 5'-FSB epsilon A has been isolated from a tryptic and chymotryptic digest of modified enzyme by gel filtration and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and characterized by amino acid and amino-terminal analysis. A unique residue, tyrosine-262, was identified as an essential amino acid within the GTP binding site. The stacked conformation of the fluorescent analogue when enzyme bound suggests that tyrosine-262 may be located in the region of the GTP site which binds the purine ring.
