The activity of oxaloacetate decarboxylase was revealed in leaves of a C4 plant, maize (Zea mays L.). This activity was unrelated to decarboxylase activities of other enzymes, e.g., NAD-malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.38) or NADP-malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.40), and was located in chloroplasts (83.1%). Using a four-step purification procedure, an electrophoretically pure enzyme preparation of oxaloacetate decarboxylase was obtained from maize leaves. The specific activity of the enzyme was 3.150 EU/mg protein, the factor of purification was 40.4, and the yield was 11.0%. The enzyme exhibited Michaelis–Menten kinetics with K
m for oxaloacetate 30 ± 5 M and pH optimum 7.1 ± 0.5. The metabolite-mediated regulation of oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity has been investigated. It is found that sodium chloride (1.0 mM) activates the enzyme, whereas ATP inhibits the enzyme activity. 相似文献

We present a model of Ca-regulated thin filaments in cardiac muscle where tropomyosin is treated as a continuous elastic chain confined in the closed position on the actin helix by electrostatic forces. The main distinction from previous works is that the intrinsic stress-free helical shape of the tropomyosin chain was taken into account explicitly. This results in the appearance of a new, to our knowledge, tension-like term in the energy functional and the equilibrium equation. The competitive binding of calcium and the mobile segment of troponin-I to troponin-C were described by a simple kinetic scheme. The values of dimensionless model parameters were estimated from published data. A stochastic Monte Carlo simulation of calcium curves has been performed and its results were compared to published data. The model explains the high cooperativity of calcium response of the regulated thin filaments even in the absence of myosin heads. The binding of myosin heads to actin increases the calcium sensitivity while not affecting its cooperativity significantly. When the presence of calcium-insensitive troponin-C was simulated in the model, both calcium sensitivity and cooperativity decreased. All these features were previously observed experimentally. 相似文献

A mathematical model of sarcomere mechanics, which takes into account the elongation of actin and myosin filaments and also
twisting of the actin filaments in the sarcomere of striated muscle during contraction is presented. The model accounts for
the experimentally observed phenomena of the stretch and twist of the actin filaments due to strong binding of myosin heads
and the pulling force. Some model parameters were estimated from published experimental data. The results of modeling show
that the twist of actin filaments can play a substantial role in the mechanical responses of contracting muscle fibers to
step changes of their length. 相似文献
