The observed equilibrium constants (Kobs) of the P-choline hydrolysis reaction have been determined under physiological conditions of temperature (38 degrees) and ionic strength (0.25 M) and physiological ranges of pH and free [Mg2+]. Using sigma and square brackets to indicate total concentrations: (see article.) The value of Kobs has been found to be relatively insensitive to variations in pH and free [Mg2+]. At pH 7.0 and taking the standard state of liquid water to have unit activity ([H2O] = 1), Kobs = 26.6 M at free [Mg2+] = 0 [epsilon G0obs = -2.03 kcal/mol(-8.48 kJ/mol)], 26.8 M at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M, and 28.4 M at free [Mg2+] = 10(-2) M. At pH 8.0, Kobs = 18.8 M at free [Mg2+] = 0, 19.2 M at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3), and 22.2 M at free [Mg2+] = 10(-2) M. These values apply only to situations where choline and Pi concentrations are both relatively low (such as the conditions found in most tissues). At higher concentrations of phosphate and choline, the value of Kobs becomes significantly increased since HPO42- complexes choline weakly (association constant = 3.3 M-1). The value of K at 38 degrees and I = 0.25 M is calculated to be 16.4 +/- 0.3 M [epsilonG0 = 1.73 kcal/mol (-7.23 kJ/mol)]. The K for the P-choline hydrolysis reaction has been combined with the K for the ATP hydrolysis reaction determined previously under physiological conditions to calculate a value of 4.95 X 10(-3 M [deltaG0 j.28 kcal/mol (13.7 kJ/mol] for the K of the choline kinase reaction (EC 2.7.1.32), an important step in phospholipid metabolism: (see article.) Likewise, values for Kobs for the choline kinase reaction at 38 degrees, pH 7.0, and I = 0.25 M have been calculated to be 5.76 X 10(4) [deltaG0OBS = -6.77 KCAL/MOL (-28.3 KJ/mol)] at [Mg2+] = 0; 1.24 X 10(4) [deltaG0obs = -5.82 kcal/mol (-24.4 kJ/mol)] at [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M and 8.05 X 10(3) [delta G0obs = -5.56 kcal/mol (-23.3 kJ/mol)] at [Mg2+ = 10(-2) M. Attempts to determine the Kobs of the choline kinase reaction directly were unsuccessful because of the high value of the constant. The results indicate that in contrast to the high deltaG0obs for the hydrolysis of the ester bond of acetylcholine, the deltaG0obs for the hydrolysis of the ester bond of P-choline is quite low, among the lowest known for phosphate ester bonds of biological interest. 相似文献

The carbamate ester N-(phenoxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalanine binds well to carboxypeptidase A in the manner of peptide substrates. The ester exhibits linear competitive inhibition toward carboxypeptidase A catalyzed hydrolysis of the amide hippuryl-L-phenylalanine (Ki = 1.0 X 10(-3) M at pH 7.5) and linear noncompetitive inhibition toward hydrolysis of the specific ester substrate O-hippuryl-L-beta-phenyllactate (Ki = 1.4 X 10(-3) M at pH 7.5). Linear inhibition shows that only one molecule of inhibitor is bound per active site at pH 7.5. The hydrolysis of the carbamate ester is not affected by the presence of 10(-8)-10(-9) M enzyme (the concentrations employed in inhibition experiments), but at an enzyme concentration of 3 X 10(-6) M catalysis can be detected. The value of kcat at 30 degrees C, mu = 0.5 M, and pH 7.45 is 0.25 s-1, and Km is 1.5 X 10(-3) M. The near identity of Km and Ki shows that Km is a dissociation constant. Substrate inhibition can be detected at pH less than 7 but not at pH values above 7, which suggests that a conformational change is occurring near that pH. The analogous carbonate ester O-(phenoxycarbonyl)-L-beta-phenyllactic acid is also a substrate for the enzyme. The Km is pH independent from pH 6.5 to 9 and has the value of 7.6 X 10(-5) M in that pH region. The rate constant kcat is pH independent from pH 8 to 10 at 30 degrees C (mu = 0.5 M) with a limiting value of 1.60 s-1. Modification of the carboxyl group of glutamic acid-270 to the methoxyamide strongly inhibits the hydrolysis of O-(phenoxycarbonyl)-L-beta-phenyllactic acid. Binding of beta-phenyllactate esters and phenylalanine amides must occur in different subsites, but the ratios of kcat and kcat/Km for the structural change from hippuryl to phenoxy in each series are closely similar, which suggests that the rate-determining steps are mechanistically similar. 相似文献

A functionalized N-aryl azetidinone has been shown to inactivate human leukocyte elastase (HLE) and porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) by an enzyme-mediated process. The inactivation is characterized by the following kinetic constants at pH 8.0 and 37 degrees C: kinact = 0.035 s-1, KI = 1.2 x 10(-4) M for HLE, 0.08 s-1 and 2.7 x 10(-4) M for PPE, respectively. Two parent molecules devoid of the latent leaving group failed to inactivate HLE and PPE and behaved as substrates of these enzymes. A suicide mechanism is postulated involving the formation of an acyl-enzyme and the simultaneous unmasking of a latent quinonimmonium methide ion which irreversibly reacts with an active site nucleophile. Moreover, the inhibitor is still effective at inhibiting elastase preabsorbed onto elastin. 相似文献

1. Zn2+-dependent acid p-nitrophenylphosphatase from chicken liver was purified to homogeneity. 2. The purified enzyme moves as a single electrophoretic band at pH 8.3 in 7.5% acrylamide and was coincident with the enzyme activity. 3. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 gave an apparent molecular weight of 110,000 with two apparent identical subunits of 54,000-56,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis. 4. The maximum of enzyme activity was obtained in the presence of 3-5 mM ZnCl2 at pH 6-6.2, however, higher concentrations of metal are inhibitory. The enzyme hydrolyses p-nitrophenylphosphate, o-carboxyphenylphosphate and phenylphosphate, was insensitive to NaF and was inhibited by phosphate and ATP. The Km for p-nitrophenylphosphate was 0.28 x 10(-3)M at pH 6 in 50 mM sodium acetate/100 mM NaCl. 5. Phosphate is a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.5 x 10(-3)M) whereas ATP seems to be a non-competitive inhibitor (Ki = 0.35 x 10(-3)M). The isoelectric point determined by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel is 7.5. 6. Cell fractionation studies indicate that the Zn2+-dependent acid p-nitrophenylphosphatase of chicken liver is a soluble enzyme form. 相似文献

Reported are the first examinations by 31P NMR of erythrocytes containing the non-heme iron O2-carrying protein hemerythrin (Hr). Intact coelomic erythrocytes from the sipunculids Phascolopsis gouldii and Themiste zostericola were shown by 31P NMR to contain O-phosphorylethanolamine and 2-aminoethylphosphonate as the major soluble phosphorus metabolites. This combination of major metabolites appears to be unique to sipunculan erythrocytes. Nucleoside triphosphates and mannose 1-phosphate were present in lower concentrations. The concentration of O-phosphorylethanolamine within P. gouldii erythrocytes was established to be greater than 20 mM. T. zostericola erythrocytes contained relatively high levels of 2-aminoethylphosphonate (on the order of 0.1 M) and lower levels of O-phosphorylethanolamine compared with those of P. gouldii. For P. gouldii and T. zostericola the intracellular pHs were determined to be 7.2 +/- 0.1 and 7.1 +/- 0.1, respectively, in air-equilibrated erythrocytes, and 6.5 +/- 0.1 in anaerobic P. gouldii erythrocytes. O-Phosphorylethanolamine was found to bind weakly to P. gouldii metHr (Kf approximately 7 M-1). This interaction is best characterized by either negative cooperativity or nonspecific binding. O-Phosphorylethanolamine strongly inhibits azide binding to the iron site of P. gouldii metHr at pH 7.2. The rate of azide binding decreases by approximately 85-fold in the presence of 0.33 M O-phosphorylethanolamine. However, neither O-phosphorylethanolamine nor 2-aminoethylphosphonate at 0.33 M was found to have any significant effect on O2 affinity of P. gouldii deoxyHr. Alternative functions for the two metabolites are suggested. 相似文献

The preparation of 2-deoxy-2-amino-N-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalene sulfonyl)-glucose (III) designed as a fluorescent competitive inhibitor of hexokinase was achieved after reacting 2-deoxy-2-aminoglucose and 1-dimethylamino-5-naphthalene sulfonyl chloride. (III) showed fluorescence excitation and emission maxima in water at 330 and 507 nm, respectively. (III) was found to competitively inhibit hexokinase and a value of Ki = 3.0 x 10(-3)M was obtained for the system hexokinase B + Mg.ATP + glucose at pH 8.4. 相似文献

Effects of pH and free Mg2+ on the Keq of the creatine kinase reaction and other phosphate hydrolyses and phosphate transfer reactions. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The observed equilibrium constants (Kobs) of the creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), myokinase (EC 2.7.4.3), glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9), and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) reactions have been determined at 38 degrees C, pH 7.0, ionic strength 0.25, and varying free magnesium concentrations. The equilibrium constant (KCK) for the creatine kinase reaction defined as: KCK = [sigma ATP] [sigma creatine] divided by ([sigma ADP] [sigma creatine-P] [H+]) was measured at 0.25 ionic strength and 38 degrees C and was shown to vary with free [Mg2+]. The value was found to be 3.78 x 10(8) M-1 at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 1.66 x 10(9) M-1 at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. Therefore, at pH 7.0, the value of Kobs, defined as Kobs = KCK[H+] = [sigma ATP] [sigma creatine] divided by ([sigma ADP] [sigma creatine-P] was 37.8 at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 166 at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. The Kobs value for the myokinase reaction, 2 sigma ADP equilibrium sigma AMP + sigma ATP, was found to vary with free [Mg2+], being 0.391 at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 1.05 at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. Taking the standard state of water to have activity equal to 1, the Kobs of glucose-6-P hydrolysis, sigma glucose-6-P + H2O equilibrium sigma glucose + sigma Pi, was found not to vary with free [Mg2+], being 110 M at both free [Mg2+] = 0 and free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. The Kobs of fructose-1,6-P2 hydrolysis, sigma fructose-1,6-P2 equilibrium sigma fructose-6-P + sigma Pi, was found to vary with free [Mg2+], being 272 M at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 174 M at free [Mg2+] = 0.89 x 10(-3) M. 相似文献

In recent investigations we were able to demonstrate that the NADP-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is an inducible enzyme localized in intracytoplasmic membranes limiting alkane inclusions. Long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and alkanols are inducers of the enzyme. It was purified by us and now kinetically characterized using the enzyme-micelle form, which contains bacterial phospholipids and a detergent (sodium cholate), too. The pH optimum of aldehyde dehydrogenase was determined to be at pH 10. The enzyme showed substrate inhibition (by aldehyde excess). The Ks and Km values of the leading substrate NADP+ were found to be 8.6 X 10(-5) and 10.3 X 10(-5)M independent of the chain-length of the aldehydes. The Km values of the aldehydes decreased depending on increasing chain-length (butanal: 1.6 X 10(-3), decanal: 1.5 X 10(-6)M). The Ki values (for inhibition by aldehyde excess) showed a similar behaviour (butanal: 7.5 X 10(-3), decanal: 3.5 X 10(-5)M) as well as the optimal aldehyde concentrations inducing the "maximal" reaction velocity (butanal: 5mM, decanal: 6 microM). The number of inhibiting aldehyde molecules per enzyme-substrate complex was determined to be n = 1. NADPH showed product inhibition kinetics (Ki(NADPH) = 2.2 X 10(-4)M), fatty acids did not. We were unable to measure a reverse reaction. The following ions and organic compounds were non-competitive inhibitors of the enzyme: Sn2+, Fe2+, Cu2+, BO3(3-), CN-, EDTA, o-phenanthroline, p-chloromercuri-benzoate, mercaptoethanol, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, and diisopropylfluorophosphate; iodoacetate did not influence enzyme activity. Chloral hydrate was a competitive inhibitor of the aldehydes. Ethyl butyrate activates the enzyme, dependent on the chain-length of the aldehyde substrates. 相似文献

Sidedness and chemical and kinetic properties of the vesamicol receptor of cholinergic synaptic vesicles 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Cholinergic synaptic vesicles isolated from Torpedo electric organ contain a receptor for the compound l-2-(4-phenylpiperidino)cyclohexanol (vesamicol, formerly AH5183), which when occupied blocks storage of acetylcholine (AcCh). The inside or outside orientation of the receptor and its chemical and ligand binding kinetics characteristics were studied. Binding of [3H]vesamicol to the receptor is inhibited efficiently by the protein modification reagents 4-(chloromercuri)benzenesulfonate and N,N'-dicyclo-hexylcarbodiimide and by protease treatment of cholate-solubilized receptor. The receptor in native vesicles is resistant to irreversible inactivation by proteases, elevated temperature, or pH extremes. [3H]Vesamicol binding depends on deprotonation of a group of pKa1 = 6.26 +/- 0.03 and protonation of a group of pKa2 = 10.60 +/- 0.04, which is probably the tertiary amine of the drug molecule itself. The membrane-impermeant zwitterionic vesamicol analogue dl-trans-4-oxo-4-[5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-7-(4-phenyl-1-piperidinyl )-1- naphthalenyl]amino]butanoic acid (TPNB) is an effective inhibitor of AcCh active transport with an IC50 value of (51 +/- 8) x 10(-9) M. At 23 degrees C, [3H]vesamicol bound to the receptor at a rate of (1.74 +/- 0.06) x 10(5) M-1 s-1, and excess unlabeled vesamicol displaced a low concentration of bound [3H]vesamicol at 0.29 +/- 0.01 min-1. At 0 degrees C, 10 microM unlabeled vesamicol displaced 36 +/- 2% of a low concentration of bound [3H]vesamicol at 0.16 +/- 0.02 min-1 and 64 +/- 2% at 0.013 +/- 0.001 min-1. One micromolar unlabeled vesamicol behaved similarly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Mechanism of association of a specific aldehyde inhibitor, leupeptin, with bovine trypsin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Leupeptin (acyl peptidyl-L-argininal) is a potent inhibitor of trypsin and related proteases. We analyzed the association of leupeptim with bovine trypsin kinetically, assuming that it proceeds by a pathway which involves two steps: E + I in equilibrium K1 Complex I k-2 in equilibrium k+2 Complex II. The observed dissociation constant (K1) for the first step was 1.24 X 10(-3) M (at pH 8.2 15 degrees C) and the two first-order rate constants (k+2 and k-2) were 166 s-1 and 1.75 X 10(-3.s-1, respectively (at pH 8.2, 15 degrees C). The dissociation constant (Kd) for the whole process was calculated from these parameters to be 1.34 X 10(-8) M. This value is compatible with that determined directly by an independent static method (2.36 X 10(-8) M). We also measured Kd for the leupeptine complex of anhydrotrypsin, a trypsin derivative in which the active-site hydroxyl group is missing. The observed value was about 5 orders of magnitude larger than Kd and was rather similar to K1 in native trypsin. A elupeptin isomer which contains a D-argininal residue did not show strong affinity towards trypsin. These findings suggest that complex II consists of a covalent hemiacetal adduct formed between the serine hydroxyl group in the enzyme active site and the aldehyde group in the inhibitor. The pH dependencies of the dissociation constant and other parameters show that deprotonation of the charge-relay sustem in the active site is important for the formation and stabilization of complex II. 相似文献

Two novel peptide analogs, N alpha-[(S)-1-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]L-alanyl-L-proline and the corresponding L-lysyl-L-proline derivative, have been demonstrated to be potent competitive inhibitors of purified rabbit lung angiotensin-converting enzyme: Ki = 2 and 1 X 10(-10) M, respectively, at pH 7.5, 25 degrees C, and 0.3 M chloride ion. Second-order rate constants for addition of these inhibitors to enzyme under the same conditions are in the range 1-2 X 10(6) M-1 s-1; first-order rate constants for dissociation of the EI complexes are in the range 1-4 X 10(-4) s-1. The association rate constants are similar to those measured for D-3-mercapto-2-methylpropanoyl-L-proline, captopril, but the dissociation rate constants are severalfold slower and account for the higher affinity of these inhibitors for the enzyme. The dissociation constant for the EI complex containing N alpha-[(S)-1-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]L-alanyl-L-proline is pH-dependent, and reaches a minimum at approximately pH 6: Ki = 4 +/- 1 X 10(-11) M. The pH dependence is consistent either with a model for which the protonation state of the secondary nitrogen atom in the inhibitor determines binding affinity, or one for which ionizations on the enzyme alone influence affinity for these inhibitors. The affinity of this inhibitor for the zinc-free apoenzyme is 2 X 10(4) times less than for the zinc-free apoenzyme is 2 X 10(4) times less than that for the holoenzyme. If considered as a "collected product" inhibitor, N alpha-[(S)-1-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]L-alanyl-L-proline appears to derive an additional factor of 375 M in its affinity for the enzyme compared to that of the two products of its hypothetical hydrolysis, a consequence of favorable entropy effects. 相似文献

When human fibroblast collagenase was incubated with ClCH2CO-(N-OH)Leu-Ala-Gly-NH2 (2-5 mM) in Tris buffer, pH 7.4 at 25 degrees C, a slow, time-dependent inhibition of the enzyme was observed. Dialysis against a buffer to remove free inhibitor did not reactivate the enzyme. A reversible competitive inhibitor, phthaloyl-GlyP-Ile-Trp-NHBzl (50 microM) partially protected the enzyme from inactivation by the compound. From the concentration dependent rates of inactivation Ki = 0.5 +/- 0.1 mM and k3, the rate constant for inactivation = 3.4 +/- 0.3 x 10(-3) min-1 were determined. The inactivation followed the pH optimum (6.5-7.0) for the enzyme activity, suggesting direct involvement of the same active site residue(s). The reaction mode of the inhibitor may be analogous to that of the inactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase [Nishino, N. and Powers, J. (1980) J. Biol. Chem., 255, 3482] in which the catalytic glutamate carboxyl was alkylated by the inhibitor after its binding to enzyme through the hydroxamic Zn2+ ligand. All carboxyl groups in the inactivated collagenase were modified with 0.1 M ethyl dimethylaminopropyl carbodiimide/0.5 M glycinamide in 4 M guanidine at pH 5. The inactivator-affected carboxyl group was then regenerated with 1 M imidazole at pH 8.9, 37 degrees C for 12 h and the protein was radiolabeled with 3H-glycine methyl ester and carbodiimide to incorporate 0.9 residue glycine per mol enzyme. 相似文献

The polyphenol oxidase (LsPPO) from a wild edible mushroom Lactarius salmonicolor was purified using a Sepharose 4B-L-tyrosine-p-amino benzoic acid affinity column. At the optimum pH and temperature, the K(M) and V(Max) values of LsPPO towards catechol, 4-methylcatechol and pyrogallol were determined as 0.025 M & 0.748 EU/mL, 1.809 x 10(- 3) M & 0.723 EU/mL and 9.465 x 10(- 3) M & 0.722 EU/mL, respectively. Optimum pH and temperature values of LsPPO for the three substrates above ranged between the pH 4.5-11.0 and 5-50 degrees C. Enzyme activity decreased due to heat denaturation with increasing temperature. Effects of a variety of classical PPO inhibitors were investigated opon the activity of LsPPO using catechol as the substrate. IC(50) values for glutathione, p-aminobenzenesulfonamide, L-cysteine, L-tyrosine, oxalic acid, beta-mercaptoethanol and syringic acid were determined as 9.1 x 10(- 4), 2.3 x 10(- 4) M, 1.5 x 10(- 4) M, 3.8 x 10(- 7) M, 1.2 x 10(- 4) M, 4.9 x 10(- 4) M, and 4 x 10(- 4) M respectively. Thus L-tyrosine was by far the most effective inhibitor. Interestingly, sulfosalicylic acid behaved as an activator of LsPPO in this study. 相似文献

The molecular weight of bovine lactoferrin. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The molecular weight of bovine lactoferrin in a neutral solvent (e.g. 0.2 M NaC1, pH 7.8 20 degrees C) has been determined using high-speed sedimentation equilibrium at various concentrations and speeds. Under these conditions the protein behaved as a single thermodynamic component with a weight-average molecular weight [MW]C=0 = 93000 plus or minus 2000 and a second virial coefficient B = 4.3-10(-5) mol-ml(-1)-g(-2). This value of the molecular weight is in good agreement with values previously reported by Groves (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 82, 3345-3350, 1960) and Szuchet and Johnson (Eur. Polym. J. 2, 115-128, 1966); it is, however, in disagreement with the more recent value given by Castellino et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 245, 4269-4275, 1970). The possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. 相似文献

Tight-binding inhibition of angiogenin and ribonuclease A by placental ribonuclease inhibitor 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
The dissociation rate constant of the angiogenin-placental ribonuclease inhibitor complex was determined by measuring the release of free angiogenin from the complex in the presence of scavenger for free placental ribonuclease inhibitor (PRI). In 0.1 M NaCl, pH 6, 25 degrees C, this value is 1.3 X 10(-7) s-1 (t1/2 congruent to 60 days). The Ki value for the binding of PRI to angiogenin, calculated from the association and dissociation rate constants, is 7.1 X 10(-16) M. The corresponding values for the interaction of RNase A with PRI, determined by similar means, are both considerably higher: the dissociation rate constant is 1.5 X 10(-5) s-1 (t1/2 = 13 h), and the Ki value is 4.4 X 10(-14) M. Thus, PRI binds about 60 times more tightly to angiogenin than to RNase A. The effect of increasing sodium chloride concentration on the binding of PRI to RNase A was explored by Henderson plots. The Ki value increases to 39 pM in 0.5 M NaCl and to 950 pM in 1 M NaCl, suggesting the importance of ionic interactions. The mode of inhibition of RNase A by PRI was determined by examining the effect of a competitive inhibitor of RNase A, cytidine 2'-phosphate, on the association rate of PRI with RNase A. Increasing concentrations of cytidine 2'-phosphate decrease the association rate in a manner consistent with a competitive mode of inhibition. 相似文献

Some biophysical properties of a (Na+, K+)-ATPase preparation from guinea-pig kidney have been analysed. The recently developed technique of laser Doppler spectroscopy was applied to measure particle mobility under electrophoretic conditions. The following results were obtained: 1. magnesium ions at pH 7.3 decrease the mobility of the ATPase containing vesicles by binding to negatively charged surface groups. At pH 3.3 the competitive binding of protons causes a shift of the mobility vs. [Mg2+] curve to higher values of [Mg2+], 2. binding of ATP at pH 7.3 (Kd = 0.9 X 10(-4) M for (mM 1 NaCl, 0.2 KCl, 0.1 MgCl2, 0.1 Tris) was measured as an increase in particle mobility depending also on [Mg2+]. At pH 3.3 also unspecific ATP-binding occurred, 3. ITP and GTP had the same Kd value as ATP; ADP a slightly lower one (Kd = 1.2 X 10(-4) M). Tris-H3PO4 (Kd = 2.6 X 10(-4) M) was also able to increase particle mobility, but only at higher concentrations and not to the same extent as ATP; AMP induced only very small changes, 4. from the mobility-pH curve an isoelectric point of 4.1 is derived (buffer: 1 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM KCl, 0.1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM Tris). In the presence of 0.9 mM ATP the isoelectric point is shifted to 3.2. As the electrophoretic mobility is directly proportional to the net charge of the vesicles, the results may be interpreted as changes in surface charge density, originating from both a conformational change of the ATPase polypeptide and a decrease in vesicle size. 相似文献

Full activation of human liver arginase (EC 3.5.3.1), by incubation with 5 mM Mn2+ for 10 min at 60 degrees C, resulted in increased Vmax and a higher sensitivity of the enzyme to borate inhibition, with no change in the K(m) for arginine. Borate behaved as an S-hyperbolic I-hyperbolic non-competitive inhibitor and had no effect on the interaction of the enzyme with the competitive inhibitors L-ornithine (Ki = 2 +/- 0.5 mM), L-lysine (Ki = 2.5 +/- 0.4 mM), and guanidinium chloride (Ki = 100 +/- 10 mM). The pH dependence of the inhibition was consistent with tetrahedral B(OH)4- being the inhibitor, rather than trigonal B(OH)3. We suggest that arginase activity is associated with a tightly bound Mn2+ whose catalytic action may be stimulated by addition of a more loosely bound Mn2+, to generate a fully activated enzyme form. The Mn2+ dependence and partial character of borate inhibition are explained by assuming that borate binds in close proximity to the loosely bound Mn2+ and interferes with its stimulatory action. Although borate protects against inactivation of the enzyme by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), the DEPC-sensitive residue is not considered as a ligand for borate binding, since chemically modified species, which retain about 10% of enzymatic activity, were also sensitive to the inhibitor. 相似文献

Recombinant eglin c is a potent reversible inhibitor of human pancreatic elastase. At pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C, kass. = 7.3 x 10(5) M-1.s-1, kdiss. = 2.7 x 10(-4) s-1 and Ki = 3.7 x 10(-10) M. Stopped-flow kinetic indicate that the formation of the stable enzyme-inhibitor complex is not preceded by a fast pre-equilibrium complex or that the latter has a dissociation constant greater than 0.3 microM. The elastase-eglin c complex is much less stable at pH 5.0 and 25 degrees C, where kdiss. = 1.1 x 10(-2) s-1 and Ki = 7.3 x 10(-8) M. At pH 7.4 the activation energy for kass. is 43.9 kJ.mol-1 (10.5 kcal.mol-1). The kass. increases between pH 5.0 and 8.0 and remains essentially constant up to pH 9.0. This pH-dependence could not be described by a simple ionization curve. Both alpha 2-macroglobulin and alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor are able to dissociate the elastase-eglin c complex, as evidenced by measurement of the enzymic activity of alpha 2-macroglobulin-bound elastase or by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of mixtures of alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor and elastase-eglin c complex. The rough estimate of kdiss. obtained with the alpha 2-macroglobulin dissociation experiment (1.6 x 10(-4) s-1) was of the same order of magnitude as the constant measured with the progress curve method. Eglin c strongly inhibits the solubilization of human aorta elastin by human pancreatic elastase. The extent of inhibition is the same whether elastase is added to a suspension of elastin and eglin c or whether elastase is preincubated with elastin for 3 min before addition of eglin c. However, the efficiency of the inhibitor sharply decreases if elastase is reacted with elastin for more prolonged periods. 相似文献

Thymidilate synthetase (methylenetetrahydrofolate:dUMP C-methyltransferase) in crude extract from Diplococcus pneumoniae exhibits a partial but variable requirement for Mg-2+ depending upon the buffer. Optimum Mg-2+ concentration is between 0.014 and 0.02 M. The optimum pH for activity in a variety of buffers occurred as a broad peak between 7.0 and 7.7. In Tris/acetate buffer, but not in potassium phosphate buffer, the pH optimum was different in the presence and absence of Mg-2+. Methylation of uridylate, cytidylate and deoxycytidylate could not be demonstrated over a pH range of 5.0-8.0. The enzyme exhibited an apparent Km for deoxyuridylate of 3.08 - 10-5 M and an apparent Km for L-(+)(minus)-5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate of 2.66 - 10-4 M. During molecular-sieve chromatography and sucrose density-gradient centrifugation, the enzyme was detectable only as a single catalytically active form of Mr 34 000-38 000. 2,4-Diamino quinazoline antifolates were better competitive inhibitors (Ki = 3-8 -10-6 M) of thymidylate synthetase than 2,4-diamino pteridines (Ki = 3- 10-5 M). 2-Amino-4-hydroxy-quinazolines were the best inhibitors (Ki = 1.3-2.9 - 10-6 M). All of the 2,4-diamino quinazolines and pteridines inhibited dihydrofolate reductase from D. pneumoniae in a nearly stoichiometric fashion (Ki = less than 10-10 M). The 2-amino-4-hydroxy-quinazolines were poor inhibitors of this enzyme (Ki = 10=5 M). 相似文献

The analytical method described in the preceding article was applied to spectrophotometric Ca2+-titrations of the metallochromic indicator arsenazo III (Ar). At various reactant concentrations it was determined that Ar forms 1:1,1:2 and 2 : 1 complexes with calcium. The equilibrium constants and extinction coefficients at 602 nm were determined. Corrected to zero ionic strength at 293 K and pH 7.0, the reactions Ca + Ar = CaAr, CaAr + Ar = CaAr2 and CaAr + Ca = Ca2Ar are associated with dissociation equilibrium constants k(11) = 1.6 x 10(-6)M, K12 = 3.2 x 10(-4)M and K21 = 5.8 x 10(-3)M. respectively. The extinction coefficient of unbound indicator is (602) = 9.6 (+/-0.3) x 10(3) cm(-1) M(-1). Arscnazo III complexes with monovalent ions like Na+ and K+ : at zero ionic strength, the dissociation constant of the Na+-Ar complex is about 0.1 M. 相似文献
