Dissociation constants
of ligands from MST enzymes. (A) The titration
depicts the perturbation of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence that
is observed when chorismate is titrated to Irp9. The arrow denotes
increasing chorismate concentration. (B) The fit of the change in
fluorescence to a single binding isotherm plus a linear term that
accounts for chorismate inner filter, as described by eq 3. (C) Titration of Irp9 with magnesium
showing the fit of the change in fluorescence to a single binding
isotherm. (D) Kinetics of ligand binding. EntC (green, 0.75 μM),
PchA (red, 0.75 μM), and Irp9 (blue, 0.1 μM) when mixed
with chorismate (0.5 μM upper trace, 5 μM lower trace),
isochorismate (0.5 μM upper trace, 5 μM lower trace),
and magnesium (0.310 mM upper trace, 1.25 mM lower trace). For each
ligand set, pairs of traces have been separated for clarity. The table
includes dissociation constants of all of the native ligands from
each of the enzymes studied as measured by comparable methods.
