- Abstract
Abstract  The conformational changes of GroEL during the ATPase cycle in the presence of GroES were studied by measuring the fluorescence intensity time course of intrinsic tyrosine Y506, which is located near the nucleotide-binding site. A GroEL solution containing GroES was mixed with an ATP solution to initiate the reaction cycle. The tyrosine fluorescence intensity relative to that without the nucleotide reached 112% within the dead time of the apparatus (>15 sâ1) and further increased to 123% at 0.57 sâ1 followed by a decrease to 102% at 0.32 sâ1. An initial conformational change and a second intermediate state were expected to occur in ATP-bound GroEL because similar changes were observed for the ATPase-deficient D398A mutant. The conformational change to the third intermediate state corresponded to a process during or after ATP hydrolysis because D398A had no decreasing phase. The second intermediate state before ATP hydrolysis was characterized for the first time.
