High affinity nucleotide-binding mutant of the ε subunit of thermophilic F1-ATPase.

Abstract excerpt

Specific ATP binding to the ε subunit of thermophilic F1-ATPase has been utilized for the biosensors of ATP in vivo. I report here that the ε subunit containing R103A/R115A mutations can bind ATP with a dissociation constant at 52 nM, which is two orders of magnitude higher affinity than the wild type. The mutant retained specificity for ATP; ADP and GTP bound to the mutant with dissociation constants 16 and 53...
