Pyridoxal kinase (ATP:pyridoxal 5-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.35) has been purified 9000-fold from sheep brain by affinity chromatography. The enzyme of 80,000 molecular weight is made up of two identical-size subunits. The interaction of the inhibitor N-dansyl-1,8-diaminooctane with the nucleotide site of the kinase was examined by means of steady and nanosecond fluorescence spectroscopy. N-Dansyl-1,8-diaminooctane is a competitive inhibitor with respect to ATP at saturating concentrations of pyridoxal. It binds to the nucleotide site of the enzyme with Kd = 2.2 microM. Bound N-dansyl-1,8-diaminooctane is shielded from collisional encounters with the external quencher acrylamide. The collisional rate constant for bound N-dansyl-1,8-diaminooctane (Kq = 1.4 X 10(8) M-1 X s-1) is 10-times lower than the value obtained for the free chromophore. Nanosecond emission anisotropy measurements yield a rotational correlation time of 42 ns for the inhibitor complexes to the kinase. Both steady and nanosecond fluorescence results are consistent with a model in which the inhibitor bound to the nucleotide site is immobilized by amino acids located at the catalytic site. 相似文献

A 27,000-fold purification of pyridoxal kinase from bovine brain tissue has been achieved by a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, Blue Sepharose CL-6B chromatography, and Phenyl-Superose chromatography. The final chromatography step yields a homogeneous preparation of high specific activity (2105 nmol/min/mg protein). The molecular mass of the native enzyme was estimated to be approximately 80,000 on gel filtration. The subunit molecular mass was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be approximately 39,500. This indicates that pyridoxal kinase is a dimeric enzyme. 相似文献

Phosphomevalonate kinase (PMK) catalyzes a key step in isoprenoid/sterol biosynthesis, converting mevalonate 5-phosphate and ATP to mevalonate 5-diphosphate and ADP. To expedite functional and structural study of this enzyme, an expression plasmid encoding His-tagged human PMK has been constructed and recombinant enzyme isolated in an active, stable form. PMK catalyzes a reversible reaction; kinetic constants of human PMK have been determined for both forward (formation of mevalonate 5-diphosphate) and reverse (formation of mevalonate 5-phosphate) reactions. Animal and invertebrate PMKs are not orthologous to plant, fungal, or bacterial PMKs, limiting the information available from sequence alignment analysis. A homology model for the structure of human PMK has been generated. The model conforms to a nucleoside monophosphate kinase family fold. This result, together with sequence comparisons of animal and invertebrate PMKs, suggests an N-terminal basic residue rich sequence as a possible "Walker A" ATP binding motif. The functions of four basic (K17, R18, K19, K22) residues and one acidic (D23) residue in the conserved sequence have been tested by mutagenesis and characterization of isolated mutant proteins. Substrate K(m) values for K17M, R18Q, K19M, and D23N have been measured for forward and reverse reactions; in comparison with wild-type PMK values, only modest (<12-fold) changes are observed. In contrast, R18Q exhibits a V(max) decrease of 100/300-fold (forward/reverse reaction). K22M activity is too low for measurement at nonsaturating substrate concentration; specific activity is decreased by >10000-fold in both forward/reverse reactions, suggesting an active site location and an important role in phosphoryl transfer. 相似文献

Human thymidine kinase. Purification and properties of the cytosolic enzyme of placenta 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Cytosolic thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21) has been purified 5200-fold to apparent homogeneity from normal human placenta. The purification includes sequential affinity chromatography on blue-Sepharose and a thymidine column. The molecular weight of the enzyme determined by gel filtration and sucrose density ultracentrifugation is 92,000. The subunit molecular weight is 44,000, suggesting that the enzyme is a dimer in its native state. With isoelectric focusing, placental thymidine kinase demonstrated a single form with an isoelectric point of 9.1. The final purified enzyme preparation exhibits no immunological cross-reactivity with human mitochondrial thymidine kinase. 相似文献

Pyridoxal kinase from sheep liver has been purified 1100-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-150, and ADP-Sepharose. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated the enzyme to be nearly homogeneous. Initial velocity studies were consistent with a sequential mechanism. The Michaelis constants for pyridoxal and ZnATP2− complex are 160 and 31 μ
, respectively. A new assay was developed in which [3H]pyridoxine was used as substrate. The product, [3H]pyridoxine 5′-P, was separated from the substrate with DEAE-cellulose disks. Determination of the Michaelis constants for pyridoxine and the ZnATP2− complex by this new method gave values of 110 and 32 μ
, respectively. 相似文献

Isolation, expression, and characterization of a novel endo-beta-1,3(4)-D-glucanase with high specific activity and homology to Bacillus lichenases is described. One clone was screened from a genomic library of Paenibacillus sp. F-40, using lichenan-containing plates. The nucleotide sequence of the clone contains an ORF consisting of 717 nucleotides, encoding a beta-glucanase protein of 238 amino acids and 26 residues of a putative signal peptide at its N-terminus. The amino acid sequence showed the highest similarity of 87% to other beta-1,3-1,4-glucanases of Bacillus. The gene fragment Bg1 containing the mature glucanase protein was expressed in Pichia pastoris at high expression level in a 3-1 high-cell-density fermenter. The purified recombinant enzyme Bgl showed activity against barley beta-glucan, lichenan, and laminarin. The gene encodes an endo-beta-1,3(4)-D-glucanase (E. C. 3.2.1.6). When lichenan was used as substrate, the optimal pH was 6.5, and the optimal temperature was 60 degrees C. The K(m), V(max), and k(cat) values for lichenan are 2.96 mg/ml, 6,951 micromol/min x mg, and 3,131 s(-1), respectively. For barley beta-glucan the values are 3.73 mg/ml, 8,939 micromol/min x mg, and 4,026 s(-1), respectively. The recombinant Bg1 had resistance to pepsin and trypsin. Other features of recombinant Bg1 including temperature and pH stability, and sensitivity to some metal ions and chemical reagents were also characterized. 相似文献

—An inverse relationship was demonstrable between the concentration of pyridoxal phosphate and the activity of pyridoxal kinase in rabbit brain. The administration of pyridoxine elevated the concentration of pyridoxal phosphate and decreased the activity of pyridoxal kinase. Conversely, the administration of deoxypyridoxine decreased the concentration of pyridoxal phosphate and increased the activity of pyridoxal kinase. The increase in the activity of pyridoxal kinase by deoxypyridoxine was blocked by actinomycin D or puromycin. These results were interpreted to indicate that the tissue availability of pyridoxal phosphate regulated the activity of pyridoxal kinase. 相似文献

Several drugs and natural compounds are known to be highly neurotoxic, triggering epileptic convulsions or seizures, and causing headaches, agitations, as well as other neuronal symptoms. The neurotoxic effects of some of these compounds, including theophylline and ginkgotoxin, have been traced to their inhibitory activity against human pyridoxal kinase (hPL kinase), resulting in deficiency of the active cofactor form of vitamin B(6), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). Pyridoxal (PL), an inactive form of vitamin B(6) is converted to PLP by PL kinase. PLP is the B(6) vitamer required as a cofactor for over 160 enzymatic activities essential in primary and secondary metabolism. We have performed structural and kinetic studies on hPL kinase with several potential inhibitors, including ginkgotoxin and theophylline. The structural studies show ginkgotoxin and theophylline bound at the substrate site, and are involved in similar protein interactions as the natural substrate, PL. Interestingly, the phosphorylated product of ginkgotoxin is also observed bound at the active site. This work provides insights into the molecular basis of hPL kinase inhibition and may provide a working hypothesis to quickly screen or identify neurotoxic drugs as potential hPL kinase inhibitors. Such adverse effects may be prevented by administration of an appropriate form of vitamin B(6), or provide clues of how to modify these drugs to help reduce their hPL kinase inhibitory effects. 相似文献

Previous observations present tremendous variations in the properties of deoxycytidine kinase. To clarify the properties and physiologic role of deoxycytidine kinase, we have undertaken its purification. Deoxycytidine kinase was purified from cultured human T-lymphoblasts (MOLT-4) to 90% purity with an estimated specific activity of 8 mumol min-1 (mg of protein)-1. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate precipitation, Superose-12 HPLC gel filtration chromatography, DE-52 ion-exchange chromatography, AMP-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and dCTP-Sepharose-4B affinity chromatography. Deoxyguanosine, deoxyadenosine, and cytidine phosphorylating activities copurified with deoxycytidine kinase to final specific activities of 7.2, 13.5, and 4 mumol min-1 (mg of protein)-1, respectively. The enzyme is very unstable at low protein concentration and is stabilized by storage at -85 degrees C with 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin, 20% glycerol (v/v), 200 mM potassium chloride, and 25 mM dithiothreitol. The molecular weight was 60,000, and the Stokes radius was 32 A by gel filtration chromatography. The subunit molecular weight was 30,500. This enzyme had apparent Km values of 1.5, 430, 500, 450, and 40 microM for deoxycytidine, deoxyguanosine, deoxyadenosine, cytidine, and cytosine arabinoside, respectively. The pH optimum ranged from 6.5 to 9.0. Mg2+ and Mn2+ were the preferred divalent cations. ATP, GTP, dGTP, ITP, dITP, TTP, and XTP were substrates for the enzymes. Our study indicates that deoxycytidine kinase is a dimer with two subunits and has phosphorylating activity for deoxyguanosine, deoxyadenosine, cytidine, and cytosine arabinoside. This highly purified enzyme will facilitate the study of its regulation and phosphorylation of anticancer or antiviral nucleoside analogues. 相似文献

The binding of pyridoxal analogues to the structural domains of pyridoxal kinase was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and chromatographic techniques. Two fragments of 24 and 16 kDa, arising from limited proteolysis of the native enzyme, were separated by ion-exchange chromatography and used for binding studies with pyridoxal oxime. Fluorometric titrations yielded dissociation constants of 6 and 12.4 MicroM for pyridoxal oxime bound to the native enzyme and 24-kDa fragment, respectively. 4-(4-Azido-2-nitrophenyl)-pyridoxamine, a new photolabeling reagent, binds irreversibly to the kinase with concomitant loss of catalytic activity. The modified kinase (2.1 mol label/mol dimer) yields two fragments upon limited proteolysis with chymotrypsin. The two fragments were separated by reverse-phase HPLC and SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Radiolabeled ligand was detected only in the 24-kDa fragment. It is postulated that the pyridoxal binding site is located in the 24-kDa structural domain. 相似文献

Pyridoxal was covalently attached to polyethylenimine polymers, but the resulting materials were found to degrade rapidly. In comparison, the dendrimeric pyridoxals, which possess only one pyridoxal unit at the core of every dendrimer molecule were found to be relatively stable compounds. A total of 12 poly(amidoamine) type dendrimers were synthesized. They range from G1 to G6 with either NMe(2) or NHAc termini. The NMe(2)-terminated pyridoxal dendrimers racemize alpha-amino acids 50-100 times faster than does simple pyridoxal, while the NHAc-terminated pyridoxal dendrimers racemize alpha-amino acids only 3-5 times faster than does simple pyridoxal. Both the NMe(2)- and NHAc-terminated pyridoxal dendrimers decarboxylate 2-amino-2-phenyl-propionic acid 1-3 times faster than simple pyridoxal. The interior polarity in the pyridoxal dendrimers is similar to that of 85:15 water-DMF solution. Furthermore, we successfully incorporated eight lauryl groups to the G5 pyridoxal dendrimer at known positions. The laurylated dendrimer exhibits lower racemization and decarboxylation rates than do the unlaurylated ones, in contrast to the positive rate effects of laurylation in polyethylenimine-pyridoxamines in our previous transamination studies. 相似文献

4-Benzoylbenzoic acid inhibits pyridoxal kinase activity competitively with respect to pyridoxal. The Ki was determined to be 5 x 10(-5) M. Binding studies showed that 4-benzoylbenzoic acid bound to pyridoxal kinase at a 1:1 molar ratio and with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 5.9 x 10(-5) M. Photoirradiation of pyridoxal kinase in the presence of a 10-fold excess of 4-benzoylbenzoic acid at pH 6.5 resulted in an irreversible loss of enzymatic activity; this photoinactivation was prevented by the presence of pyridoxal. Amino acid analysis revealed that 1 tyrosine residue/subunit was modified during photoinactivation. The presence of a tyrosine residue at the active site of pyridoxal kinase was confirmed by reaction with tetranitromethane. In the presence of 1 x 10(-4) M tetranitromethane, a complete loss of the kinase activity was observed after incubation at 25 degrees C for 8 min, with modification of a total of 3 tyrosine residues. The second-order rate constant (K2) of the reaction between the tyrosine residues and tetranitromethane was determined to be 53.3 s-1 M-1. 相似文献

Activation of pyridoxal kinase by metallothionein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Brain pyridoxal kinase, which uses ATP complexed to either Zn(II) or Co(II) as substrates, displays high catalytic activity in the presence of Zn-thionein and Co-thionein. Several steps intervene in the process of pyridoxal kinase activation, i.e., binding of Zn ions to ATP and interaction between Zn-ATP and the enzyme. Equilibrium binding studies show that ATP mediates the release of Zn ions from the metal-thiolate clusters of the thioneins, whereas spectroscopic measurements conducted on Co-thionein reveal that the absorption transitions corresponding to the metal-thiolate of the protein are perturbed by ATP. The binding Zn-ATP to the kinase proceeds with a delta G = -6.3 kcal/mol as demonstrated by fluorometric titrations. Direct interaction between the kinase and derivatized-metallothionein could not be detected by emission anisotropy measurements, indicating that juxtaposition of the proteins does not influence the exchange of metal ions. Since the concentration of free Zn in several mammalian tissues is lower than 1 nM, it is postulated that under in vivo conditions the concentration of metallothionein regulates the catalytic activity of pyridoxal kinase. 相似文献

Inhibition of pyridoxal kinase by methylxanthines 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the presence of saturating concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and rate-limiting amounts of pyridoxal, theophylline was found to inhibit sheep brain pyridoxal kinase (EC 2.7.1.35) competitively. The apparent inhibition constant (Ki) of theophylline for pyridoxal kinase was determined as 8.7 mumol/l. Theophylline concentrations of up to 60 mumol/l did not affect pyridoxal phosphorylation in the presence of saturating amounts of pyridoxal and rate-limiting concentrations of ATP. Caffeine was less potent to inhibit pyridoxal kinase (Ki = 45 mumol/l) due to the presence of a methyl group on the 7 position of the xanthine ring structure. Theobromine showed only a weak inhibition of pyridoxal kinase (Ki = 453 mumol/l). The presence of a hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl or dihydroxypropyl group on the N7 position of theophylline completely abolished inhibition of pyridoxal kinase. Enprofylline (3-propylxanthine), a recently described bronchodilator, was also able to inhibit pyridoxal kinase with a Ki of 256 mumol/l. 相似文献

Pyridoxal kinase (PK) is an important enzyme involved in bioactivation of vitamin B(6). Binding of PK with its substrate is the prerequisite step for the subsequent catalytic phosphorylation of the substrate. In the present study, a surface plasmon resonance biosensor (BIAcore) was employed to characterize the binding interaction between wild-type porcine PK and an immobilized substrate, pyridoxamine. Pyridoxamine was modified with 11-mercaptoundecanic acid and immobilized on a sensor chip through the formation of a self-assembled monolayer. The binding of PK to the immobilized pyridoxamine was followed in real time and the kinetic parameters were derived from non-linear analysis of the sensorgram. The effects of buffer pH, monovalent cations (Na(+), K(+)) and divalent cations (Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Mg(2+)) on the binding kinetics were determined. Optimal pH for PK-pyridoxamine interaction in the absence of divalent ions is at around 7.4. While K(+) increased and Na(+) decreased the binding affinity (K(A)) of PK to immobilized pyridoxamine, all divalent cations increased the K(A) of PK for pyridoxamine. Solution phase affinity measurement based on a competitive binding assay was used to determine the affinities of PK for different vitamin B(6) analogues. The order of affinity of PK for different analogues is: pyridoxal-oxime>pyridoxine>pyridoxamine>pyridoxal>pyridoxal phosphate. This is the first study to demonstrate that buffer conditions such as pH and concentration of monovalent and/or divalent ions can directly alter the binding of PK for its substrates. The quantitative kinetic and thermodynamic parameters obtained by SPR measurement provide the insight information into the catalytic activity of this enzyme. 相似文献

6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) is involved in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an essential cofactor for enzymes such as the hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase. BH4 deficiency causes malignant hyperphenylalaninemia. We cloned the human liver cDNA encoding PTPS. The coding region for PTPS contains 145 amino acids and predicts a polypeptide of 16'387 Da. The human amino acid sequence showed a 82% identity with the rat liver sequence. Expression of the cDNA in E. coli yielded the active enzyme and showed immunoreactivity with antibodies against the rat liver PTPS. This is the basis for the molecular understanding of BH4 deficiency in patients suffering from a defect in PTPS activity. 相似文献

Crystal structure of human pyridoxal kinase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pyridoxal kinase, a member of the ribokinase superfamily, catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation reaction of vitamin B6 and is an essential enzyme in the formation of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, a key cofactor for over 100 enzymes. Pyridoxal kinase is thus regarded as a potential target for pharmacological agents. In this paper, we report the 2.8 angstroms crystal structure of human pyridoxal kinase (HPLK) expressed in Escherichia coli. The diffraction data revealed unexpected merohedral perfect twinning along the crystallographic c axis. Taking perfect twinning into account, the structure in dimeric form was well refined according to the CNS program. Structure comparison reveals that the key 12-residue peptide over the active site in HPLK is a beta-strand/loop/beta-strand flap, while the corresponding peptide in sheep brain enzyme adopts a loop conformation. Moreover, HPLK possesses a more hydrophobic ATP-binding pocket. This structure will facilitate further biochemical studies and structure-based design of drugs related to pyridoxal kinase. 相似文献
