| Abstract |
The absence of direct correlation between the efficiency of functioning of ATPase and peptidehydrolase sites of Lon protease was revealed. It was shown that Lon protease is an allosteric enzyme, in which the catalytic activity of peptidehydrolase sites is determined by the binding of nucleotides, their magnesium complexes, and free magnesium ions in the enzyme's ATPase sites. It was revealed that complex ADP-Mg, an inhibitor of the native enzyme, is an activator of the Lon-K362Q form of the Lon protease mutant in the ATPase site. Considered are variants of intersite functional contacts realizing in the enzyme. The existence of two ways of signal transduction was established from the ATPase sites to peptidehydrolase ones in the Lon protease oligomer--intra- and intersubunit ways. Location of the enzyme ATPase sites is suggested in the areas of the complementary surfaces of subunits. It is hypothesized that ATP hydrolysis upon degradation of protein substrates by the E. coli Lon protease in vivo acts as a factor of restriction of the enzyme's degrading activity. |
