The cytoplasmic domains A and B of the mannitol transporter enzyme $II^{Mtl}$ are covalently linked in Escherichia coli, but separately expressed in Thermoanaerobacter Tengcongensis. The phosphorylation of domain B ($TtIIB^{Mtl}$) substantially increases the binding affinity to the domain A ($TtIIA^{Mtl}$) in T. Tengcongensis. To understand the structural basis of the enhanced domain-domain interaction by protein phosphorylation, we obtained NMR backbone assignments of the phospho-$TtIIB^{Mtl}$ using a standard suite of triple resonance experiments. Our results will be useful to monitor chemical shift changes at the active site of phosphorylation and the binding interfaces.

The mannitol transporter Enzyme $II^{Mtl}$ of the bacterial phosphotransferase system has two cytoplasmic phosphoryl transfer domains $IIA^{Mtl}$ and $IIB^{Mtl}$. The two domains are linked by a flexible peptide linker in mesophilic bacterial strains, whereas they are expressed as separated domains in thermophilic strains. Here, we carried out backbone assignment of $IIA^{Mtl}$ from thermophilic Thermoanaerobacter Tencongensis using a suite of heteronuclear triple resonance NMR spectroscopy. We have completed 94% of the backbone assignment, and obtained secondary structural information based on torsion angles derived from the chemical shifts. $IIA^{Mtl}$ of Thermoanaerobacter Tencongensis is predicted to have six ${\beta}$ strands and six ${\alpha}$ helices, which is analogous to $IIA^{Mtl}$ of Escherichia coli.
