We have applied site-directed mutagenesis methods to change the conserved, tryptophan-22 in the substrate binding site of Escherichia coli, dihydrofolate reductase to phenylalanine (W22F) and histidine (W22H). The, crystal structure of the W22F mutant in a binary complex with the, inhibitor methotrexate has been refined at 1.9-A resolution. The W22F, difference Fourier map and least-squares refinement show that structural, effects of the mutation are confined to the immediate vicinity of position, 22 and include an unanticipated 0.4-A movement of the methionine-20 side, chain. A conserved bound water-403, suspected to play a role in the, protonation of substrate DHF, has not been displaced by the mutation, despite the loss of a hydrogen bond with tryptophan-22. Steady-state, kinetics, stopped-flow kinetics, and primary isotope effects indicate that, both mutations increase the rate of product tetrahydrofolate release, the, rate-limiting step in the case of the wild-type enzyme, while slowing the, rate of hydride transfer to the point where it now becomes at least, partially rate determining. Steady-state kinetics show that below pH 6.8, kcat is elevated by up to 5-fold in the W22F mutant as compared with the, wild-type enzyme, although kcat/Km(dihydrofolate) is lower throughout the, observed pH range. For the W22H mutant, both kcat and, kcat/Km(dihydrofolate) are substantially lower than the corresponding, wild-type values. While both mutations weaken dihydrofolate binding, cofactor NADPH binding is not significantly altered. Fitting of the, kinetic pH profiles to a general protonation scheme suggests that the, proton affinity of dihydrofolate may be enhanced upon binding to the, enzyme. We suggest that the function of tryptophan-22 may be to properly, position the side chain of methionine-20 with respect to N5 of the, substrate dihydrofolate.
