Conserved lysine 79 is important for activity of ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 (NTPDase3)

Cell membrane-bound ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are homooligomeric, with native quaternary structure required for maximal enzyme activity. In this study, we mutated lysine 79 in human ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 (NTPDase3). The residue correspond...

Kirley, Terence L. Original Paper Cell membrane-bound ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are homooligomeric, with native quaternary structure required for maximal enzyme activity. In this study, we mutated lysine 79 in human ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 3 (NTPDase3). The residue corresponding to lysine 79 in NTPDase3 is conserved in all known cell surface membrane NTPDases (NTPDase1, 2, 3, and 8), but not in the soluble, monomeric NTPDases (NTPDase5 and 6), or in the intracellular, two transmembrane NTPDases (NTPDase4 and 7). This conserved lysine is located between apyrase conserved region 1 (ACR1) and an invariant glycosylation site (N81), in a region previously hypothesized to be important for NTPDase3 oligomeric structure. This lysine residue was mutated to several different amino acids, and all mutants displayed substantially decreased nucleotidase activities. A basic amino acid at this position was found to be important for the increase of nucleotidase activity observed after treatment with the lectin, concanavalin A. After solubilization with Triton X-100, mutants showed little or no decrease in activity, unlike the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that the lysine at this position may be important for maintaining proper folding and for stabilizing the quaternary structure. However, mutation at this site did not result in global changes in tertiary or quaternary structure as measured by Cibacron blue binding, chemical cross linking, and native gel electrophoretic analysis, leaving open the possibility of other mechanisms by which mutation of this conserved lysine residue might decrease enzyme activity.
