Nuclear Relaxation and Kinetic Studies of the Role of Mn2+ in the Mechanism of Enolase? Thomas Nowak,* Albert S. Mildvan, and George L. Kenyon$

When Mn?+ is bound at the active site of enolase, two rapidly exchanging water molecules are coordinated as indicated by the effect of the enolase-Mn2+ complex on the longitudinal relaxation rate (l/T1)of water protons determined a t six frequencies. The exchange rate ( l / r > ~of ) these water molecules is greater than 7.7 X lo6 sec-I, and the correlation sec, a value time for the Mn’--water interaction is 2.2 x which is shown to be dominated by rTs,the electron spin relaxation time of Mn?-. Ternary complexes of the substrates (phosphoenolpyruvate and a-(dihydroxyphosphinylmethy1)acrylate (CH,-PEP)) and inactive substrate analogs (Dphospholactate, L-phospholactate, and phosphoglycolate) all affect l/TI of water protons two-three times less than the binary enoIase-Mn*’ complex at 24.3 MHz. From UTl and l/T, values of the carbon-bound protons of CHn-PEP at two frequencies and of the phosphorus at one frequency, the correlation times ( r C in ) the active ternary CH?-PEP complex are essentially unchanged from that of the binary complex. Similar r, values are obtained by measurements of l/Tl and l/T, of the protons and phosphorus of the inactive analogs. indicating that the decrease in l/Tl of water in the ternary complexes is not due to a change in 7,. The distances from the enzyme-bound Mn2- to the carbon-bound protons ( 6 . 5 ~ ~ 7.5 A) and the phosphorus atoms (5.5-6.2 A) of the active and inactive analogs are too great for inner sphere complexes, but are consistent with second sphere complexes in which a water molecule intervenes between the bound Mn?+ and the bound substrate analog. From the rc values of the analogs and l/Tl of water in the ternary complexes it is calculated that 0.3-1 .O rapidly exchanging water molecule remains coordinated to MnZ- in the various ternary complexes. Hence, the binding of the substrate may have “immobilized” a water ABSTRACT:
