TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:2411915 L3 - citeulike-article-id:2411915 N2 - Amino acid substitutions at distant sites in the Escherichia coli cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) have been shown to affect both the nature and magnitude of the energetics of cooperativity of cAMP binding, ranging from negative to positive. In addition, the binding to DNA is concomitantly affected. To correlate the effects of amino acid substitutions on the functional energetics and global structural properties in CRP, the partial specific volume (v(o)), the coefficient of adiabatic compressibility (beta(s)(o)), and the rate of amide proton exchange were determined for the wild-type and eight mutant CRPs (K52N, D53H, S62F, T127L, G141Q, L148R, H159L, and K52N/H159L) by using sound velocity, density measurements, and hydrogen-deuterium exchange as monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at 25 degrees C.

These changes in global structural properties correlated with the rate of amide proton exchange. A linear correlation was established between beta(s)(o) and the energetics of cooperativity of binding of cAMP to the high-affinity sites, regardless of the nature of cooperativity, be it negative or positive.
