Mass spectrometry has been used to determine the number of exchangeable backbone amide protons and the associated rate constants that are altered when rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase (rM(1)-PYK) binds either the allosteric inhibitor (phenylalanine) or a nonallosteric analogue of the inhibitor. Alanine is used as the nonallosteric analogue because it binds competitively with phenylalanine but elicits a negligible allosteric inhibition, i.e., a negligible reduction in the affinity of rM(1)-PYK for the substrate, phosphoenolpyruvate. This experimental design is expected to distinguish changes in the protein caused by effector binding (i.e., those changes common upon the addition of alanine vs phenylalanine) from changes associated with allosteric regulation (i.e., those elicited by the addition of phenylalanine binding, but not alanine binding). High quality peptic fragments covering 98% of the protein were identified. Changes in both the number of exchangeable protons per peptide and in the rate constant associated with exchange highlight regions of the protein with allosteric roles. The set of allosterically relevant peptides identified by this technique includes residues previously identified by mutagenesis to have roles in allosteric regulation by phenylalanine.
