Abstract
High-pressure NMR experiments performed on the histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein (HPr) from Staphylococcus carnosus have shown that residue Ile14, which is located in the active-centre loop, exhibits a peculiarly small pressure response. In contrast, the rest of the loop shows strong pressure effects as is expected for typical protein interaction sites. To elucidate the structural role of this residue, the mutant protein HPr(I14A), in which Ile14 is replaced by Ala, was produced and studied by solution NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of 1406 structural restraints including 20 directly detected hydrogen bonds, 49 1H(N)-15N, and 25 1H(N)-1Halpha residual dipolar couplings, a well resolved three-dimensional structure could be determined. The overall fold of the protein is not influenced by the mutation but characteristic conformational changes are introduced into the active-centre loop. They lead to a displacement of the ring system of His15 and a distortion of the N-terminus of the first helix, which supports the histidine ring. In addition, the C-terminal helix is bent because the side chain of Leu86 located at the end of this helix partly fills the hydrophobic cavity created by the mutation. Xenon, which is known to occupy hydrophobic cavities, causes a partial reversal of the mutation-induced structural effects. The observed structural changes explain the reduced phosphocarrier activity of the mutant and agree well with the earlier suggestion that Ile14 represents an anchoring point stabilizing the active-centre loop in its correct conformation.

Fig. 4. Comparison of wild-type and mutant HPr. Comparison of the three-dimensional structures of the mutant (left) and wild-type HPr (right). The side chains of the catalytically active histidine residue 15 and of residue 14 (isoleucine to alanine) are shown in blue and yellow, respectively. Residues Ala19 and Leu86 are indicated in red. The removal of the isoleucine side chain in the mutant protein leads to significant structural rearrangements (see text).

Fig. 6. Hydrophobic cavity of HPr(I14A). The solvent-accessible surface of the HPr(I14A) molecule is shown. Residues 14, 15, 19 and 86 are coloured as in Fig. 4. A cavity in the region where the mutation has been introduced is marked by the arrows. The existence of this cavity was confirmed by xenon-binding studies.
