Abstract

Escherichia coli thioesterase/protease I (TEP-I) is a lipolytic enzyme of the serine protease superfamily with Ser¹⁰, Asp¹⁵⁴ and His¹⁵⁷ as the catalytic triad residues. Based on comparison of the low-field ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of two mutants (S10G and S12G) and two transition state analogue complexes we have assigned the exchangeable proton resonances at 16.3 ppm, 14.3 ppm, and 12.8 ppm at pH 3.5 to His¹⁵⁷-N^δ1H, Ser¹⁰-O^γH and His¹⁵⁷-N^ε2H, respectively. Thus, the presence of a strong Asp¹⁵⁴-His¹⁵⁷ hydrogen bond in free TEP-I was observed. However, Ser¹⁰-O^γH was shown to form a H-bond with a residue other than His¹⁵⁷-N^ε2.
