The rate-determining step in pepsin-catalysed reactions, and evidence against an acyl-enzyme intermediate 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
To delineate further the pathway of pepsin-catalysed reactions, three types of experiments were performed: (a) the enzyme-catalysed hydrolysis of a number of di- and tri-peptide substrates was studied with a view to observing the rate-determining breakdown of a common intermediate; (b) the interaction of pepsin with several possible substrates for which ;burst' kinetics might be expected was investigated; (c) attempts were made to trap a possible acyl-enzyme intermediate with [(14)C]methanol in both a hydrolytic reaction (with N-acetyl-l-phenylalanyl-l-phenylalanylglycine) and in a ;virtual' reaction (with N-acetyl-l-phenylalanine) under conditions where extensive hydrolysis or (18)O exchange is known to occur. It is concluded that (i) intermediates in pepsin-catalysed reactions (aside from the Michaelis complex) occur subsequently to the rate-determining transition state, and (ii) an acyl-enzyme intermediate, if such is formed, cannot be trapped with [(14)C]methanol in these systems. 相似文献

The course of stereospecific selection of nucleophilic compounds was studied in the reaction of acyl-enzymes interaction with razemic substrate-like nucleophiles, e.g. amino acid esters, by measuring optical rotation or incorporation of labelled D-compounds. It was shown that the acyl-enzymes are not responsible for the stereospecific selection of substrate-like nucleophiles. Since stereospecific selection of nucleophiles occurs in some chymotrypsin-catalyzed reactions, such selection may be produced by chymotrypsin till the formation of an acyl-enzyme compound with the substrate at the enzyme-inhibitor stage (or the Michaelis complex) with nucleophilic compounds. Even under the optimal conditions no absolute stereospecific selection of nucleophiles occurred, as was observed in case of a substrate (a donor of the acyl amino acid residue), undergoing degradation. An essential role of a specific site of nucleophile binding in the reactions of chymotrypsin-catalyzed peptide bond formation, is emphasized. 相似文献

Heparin activates the serpin, antithrombin, to inhibit its target blood-clotting proteases by generating new protease interaction exosites. To resolve the effects of these exosites on the initial Michaelis docking step and the subsequent acylation and conformational change steps of antithrombin-protease reactions, we compared the reactions of catalytically inactive S195A and active proteases with site-specific fluorophore-labeled antithrombins that allow monitoring of these reaction steps. Heparin bound to N,N'-dimethyl-N-(acetyl)-N'-(7-nitrobenz-3-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)ethylenediamine (NBD)-fluorophore-labeled antithrombins and accelerated the reactions of the labeled inhibitor with thrombin and factor Xa similar to wild type. Equilibrium binding of NBD-labeled antithrombins to S195A proteases showed that exosites generated by conformationally activating antithrombin with a heparin pentasaccharide enhanced the affinity of the serpin for S195A factor Xa minimally 100-fold. Moreover, additional bridging exosites provided by a hexadecasaccharide heparin activator enhanced antithrombin affinity for both S195A factor Xa and thrombin at least 1000-fold. Rapid kinetic studies showed that these exosite-mediated enhancements in Michaelis complex affinity resulted from increases in k(on) and decreases in k(off) and caused antithrombin-protease reactions to become diffusion-controlled. Competitive binding and kinetic studies with exosite mutant antithrombins showed that Tyr-253 was a critical mediator of exosite interactions with S195A factor Xa; that Glu-255, Glu-237, and Arg-399 made more modest contributions to these interactions; and that exosite interactions reduced k(off) for the Michaelis complex interaction. Together these results show that exosites generated by heparin activation of antithrombin function both to promote the formation of an initial antithrombin-protease Michaelis complex and to favor the subsequent acylation of this complex. 相似文献

Michaelis complex, acylation, and conformational change steps were resolved in the reactions of the serpin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and trypsin by comparing the reactions of active and Ser 195-inactivated enzymes with site-specific fluorescent-labeled PAI-1 derivatives that report these events. Anhydrotrypsin or S195A tPA-induced fluorescence changes in P1'-Cys and P9-Cys PAI-1 variants labeled with the fluorophore, NBD, indicative of a substrate-like interaction of the serpin reactive loop with the proteinase active-site, with the P1' label but not the P9 label perturbing the interactions by 10-60-fold. Rapid kinetic analyses of the labeled PAI-1-inactive enzyme interactions were consistent with a single-step reversible binding process involving no conformational change. Blocking of PAI-1 reactive loop-beta-sheet A interactions through mutation of the P14 Thr --> Arg or annealing a reactive center loop peptide into sheet A did not weaken the binding of the inactive enzymes, suggesting that loop-sheet interactions were unlikely to be induced by the binding. Only active trypsin and tPA induced the characteristic fluorescence changes in the labeled PAI-1 variants previously shown to report acylation and reactive loop-sheet A interactions during the PAI-1-proteinase reaction. Rapid kinetic analyses showed saturation of the reaction rate constant and, in the case of the P1'-labeled PAI-1 reaction, biphasic changes in fluorescence indicative of an intermediate resembling the noncovalent complex on the path to the covalent complex. Indistinguishable K(M) and k(lim) values of approximately 20 microM and 80-90 s(-1) for reaction of the two labeled PAI-1s with trypsin suggested that a diffusion-limited association of PAI-1 and trypsin and rate-limiting acylation step, insensitive to the effects of labeling, controlled covalent complex formation. By contrast, differing values of K(M) of 1.7 and 0.1 microM and of k(lim) of 17 and 2.6 s(-1) for tPA reactions with P1' and P9-labeled PAI-1s, respectively, suggested that tPA-PAI-1 exosite interactions, sensitive to the effects of labeling, promoted a rapid association of PAI-1 and tPA and reversible formation of an acyl-enzyme complex but impeded a rate-limiting burial of the reactive loop leading to trapping of the acyl-enzyme complex. Together, the results suggest a kinetic pathway for formation of the covalent complex between PAI-1 and proteinases involving the initial formation of a Michaelis-type noncovalent complex without significant conformational change, followed by reversible acylation and irreversible reactive loop conformational change steps that trap the proteinase in a covalent complex. 相似文献

Mechanism of inactivation of human leukocyte elastase by a chloromethyl ketone: kinetic and solvent isotope effect studies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism of inactivation of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) by the chloromethyl ketone MeOSuc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-CH2Cl was investigated. The dependence of the first-order rate constant for inactivation on concentration of chloromethyl ketone is hyperbolic and suggests formation of a reversible "Michaelis complex" prior to covalent interaction between the enzyme and inhibitor. However, the observed Ki value is 10 microM, at least 10-fold lower than dissociation constants for complexes formed from interaction of HLE with structurally related substrates or reversible inhibitors, and suggests that Ki is a complex kinetic constant, reflecting the formation and accumulation of both the Michaelis complex and a second complex. It is proposed that this second complex is a hemiketal formed from attack of the active site serine on the carbonyl carbon of the inhibitor. The accumulation of this intermediate may be a general feature of reactions of serine proteases and chloromethyl ketones derived from specific peptides and accounts for the very low Ki values observed for these reactions. The solvent deuterium isotope effect (SIE) on the inactivation step (ki) is 1.58 +/- 0.07 and is consistent with rate-limiting, general-catalyzed attack of the active site His on the methylene carbon of the inhibitor with displacement of chloride anion. The general catalyst is thought to be the active site Asp. In contrast, the SIE on the second-order rate constant for HLE inactivation, ki/Ki, is inverse and equals 0.64 +/- 0.05.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Polyketide natural products are biosynthesized via successive chain-elongation events mediated by elaborate protein assemblies. Facile detection of protein-bound intermediates in these systems will increase our understanding of enzyme reactivity and selectivity. We have developed a tandem proteolysis/mass spectrometric method for monitoring substrate loading and elongation in 6-deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS), responsible for production of the macrolide precursor to erythromycin. Information regarding ketosynthase loading and polyketide unit elongation is readily acquired without need for complex protein or small molecule labels. A panel of structurally related substrates is evaluated through competition experiments and kinetic assays using LC-MS to resolve closely related species. Strong stereochemical effects are observed for ketosynthase substrate specificity. Semiquantitative kinetic analyses allow the resolution of the effects of structural and stereochemical changes on the individual ketosynthase-catalyzed steps of acyl-enzyme formation and polyketide chain extension. 相似文献

The binding of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) to serine proteinases, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), is mediated by the exosite interactions between the surface-exposed variable region-1, or 37-loop, of the proteinase and the distal reactive center loop (RCL) of PAI-1. Although the contribution of such interactions to the inhibitory activity of PAI-1 has been established, the specific mechanistic steps affected by interactions at the distal RCL remain unknown. We have used protein engineering, stopped-flow fluorimetry, and rapid acid quenching techniques to elucidate the role of exosite interactions in the neutralization of tPA, uPA, and beta-trypsin by PAI-1. Alanine substitutions at the distal P4' (Glu-350) and P5' (Glu-351) residues of PAI-1 reduced the rates of Michaelis complex formation (k(a)) and overall inhibition (k(app)) with tPA by 13.4- and 4.7-fold, respectively, whereas the rate of loop insertion or final acyl-enzyme formation (k(lim)) increased by 3.3-fold. The effects of double mutations on k(a), k(lim), and k(app) were small with uPA and nonexistent with beta-trypsin. We provide the first kinetic evidence that the removal of exosite interactions significantly alters the formation of the noncovalent Michaelis complex, facilitating the release of the primed side of the distal loop from the active-site pocket of tPA and the subsequent insertion of the cleaved reactive center loop into beta-sheet A. Moreover, mutational analysis indicates that the P5' residue contributes more to the mechanism of tPA inhibition, notably by promoting the formation of a final Michaelis complex. 相似文献

The review deals with directed synthesis of specific enzyme inhibitors. They are classified within the framework of the mechanistic approach, namely, stable analogues of substrates, which form enzyme complexes mimicking the Michaelis complex or those which influence the chemical stages of enzyme catalysis; conformational inhibitors; substrate analogues participating in enzyme reactions and producing modified products; suicide inhibitors; stage inhibitors (inhibitors influencing certain stages of enzyme reaction); transition state analogues; multisubstrate analogues and collected substrates. Types of chemical modification used in synthesis of the specific inhibitors are discussed. Some possibilities of the quantity structure-activity relationship methods, computer modelling and molecular graphics in designing the optimal structure of inhibitors are mentioned. 相似文献

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of -nitrophenyl trimethylacetate catalyzed by yeast carboxypeptidase have been measured under conditions of substrate in excess and indicate that the release of -nitrophenol in two discrete stages can be observed. A fast release of -nitrophenol in a concentration approximating that of the enzyme is seen initially, followed by a slow release, corresponding to the “turnover” reaction of the ester. These observations provide strong support for the postulation of a three step reaction sequence including the formation and decomposition of not only a Michaelis complex but also an acyl-enzyme species. 相似文献

Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) cleave Ub-X bonds (Ub is ubiquitin and X an alcohol, an amine, or a protein) through a thioester intermediate that is produced by nucleophilic attack of the Cys residue of a Cys-SH/His-Im catalytic diad. We are studying the mechanism of UCH-L1, a UCH that is implicated in Parkinson's disease, and now wish to report our initial findings. (i) Pre-steady-state kinetic studies for UCH-L1-catalyzed hydrolysis of Ub-AMC (AMC, 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin) indicate that k(cat) is rate-limited by acyl-enzyme formation. Thus, K(m) = K(s), the dissociation constant for the Michaelis complex, and k(cat) = k(2), the rate constant for acyl-enzyme formation. (ii) For K(assoc) (=K(s)(-)(1)), DeltaC(p) = -0.8 kcal mol(-)(1) deg(-)(1) and is consistent with coupling between substrate association and a conformational change of the enzyme. For k(2), DeltaS(++) = 0 and suggests that in the E-S, substrate and active site residues are precisely aligned for reaction. (iii) Solvent isotope effects are (D)K(assoc) = 0.5 and (D)k(2) = 0.9, suggesting that the substrate binds to a form of free enzyme in which the active site Cys exists as the thiol. In the resultant Michaelis complex, the diad has tautomerized to ion pair Cys-S(-)/His-ImH(+). Subsequent attack of thiolate produces the acyl-enzyme species. In contrast, isotope effects for association of UCH-L1 with transition-state analogue ubiquitin aldehyde suggest that an alternative mechanistic pathway can sometimes be available to UCH-L1 involving general base-catalyzed attack of Cys-SH by His-Im. 相似文献

beta-Lactamase I catalyses the hydrolysis of penicillins by an acyl-enzyme mechanism. A procedure was developed for determining the rate constants for the acylation and deacylation steps for the good substrates benzylpenicillin and phenoxymethylpenicillin; this depends on determining the fraction of enzyme that is present as acyl-enzyme in the steady state. 相似文献

1. The activity of liver alcohol dehydrogenase with cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone as substrates was studied, and the initial-rate parameters were determined from measurements at low substrate concentrations. In contrast with aliphatic ketones, cyclohexanone is a fairly good substrate, although less active than aliphatic aldehydes. The Michaelis constant for cyclohexanol is of the same order as that for ethanol, and the maximum rate and Michaelis constant for NAD(+) obtained with cyclohexanol are very similar to those obtained with primary aliphatic alcohols. The data for this substrate at low concentrations are therefore consistent with a compulsory-order mechanism in which ternary complexes are not rate-limiting. 2. With large concentrations of NAD(+), substrate activation is observed with increasing concentrations of cyclohexanol, whereas with small NAD(+) concentrations substrate inhibition is observed. This complex behaviour is explained by a mechanism previously proposed for this enzyme, which also satisfactorily described the kinetics of oxidation of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols and aldehydes, including the substrate inhibition exhibited by primary alcohols, and the reduction of aldehydes. The activation with large concentrations of both NAD(+) and cyclohexanol is attributed to the formation of an abortive complex, E.NADH.ROH, from which NADH dissociates more rapidly than from the normal product complex E.NADH. Substrate inhibition in the presence of small NAD(+) concentrations is attributed to the formation of an active complex E.ROH, with which NAD(+) reacts more slowly than with the free enzyme. 3. Some support for these mechanisms of substrate activation and inhibition is obtained by approximate theoretical calculations, and their applicability to other two-substrate reactions that exhibit complex initial-rate behaviour, as a more likely alternative to the postulate of a second binding site for the substrate, is suggested. 相似文献

The positive electrostatic environment of the active site of prolyl oligopeptidase was investigated by using substrates with glutamic acid at positions P2, P3, P4, and P5, respectively. The different substrates gave various pH rate profiles. The pKa values extracted from the curves are apparent parameters, presumably affected by the nearby charged residues, and do not reflect the ionization of a simple catalytic histidine as found in the classic serine peptidases like chymotrypsin and subtilisin. The temperature dependence of kcat/Km did not produce linear Arrhenius plots, indicating different changes in the individual rate constants with the increase in temperature. This rendered it possible to calculate these constants, i.e. the formation (k1) and decomposition (k-1) of the enzyme-substrate complex and the acylation constant (k2), as well as the corresponding activation energies. The results have revealed the relationship between the complex Michaelis parameters and the individual rate constants. Structure determination of the enzyme-substrate complexes has shown that the different substrates display a uniform binding mode. None of the glutamic acids interacts with a charged group. We conclude that the specific rate constant is controlled by k1 rather than k2 and that the charged residues from the substrate and the enzyme can markedly affect the formation but not the structure of the enzyme-substrate complexes. 相似文献

The interaction of human creatine phosphokinase isoenzymes with rabbit antibodies and their Fab has been studied. It has been shown that Fab of the antibodies against MM or BB isoenzymes preserve high specificity of intact antibodies and the ability to inhibit creatine kinase isoenzymes. Differences between antibodies and their Fab have been found to exist with respect to the kinetics of binding with homologous isoenzymes: the rate of the complex formation for Fab is significantly higher. The interaction of creatine kinase isoenzymes with intact antibodies and their Fab is not affected by the addition of creatine kinase substrates. The antibodies against MM and BB isoenzymes have been used to study the individual properties of each subunit of the M- and B-type in a hybrid dimer MB. It has been shown that such properties of these subunits as the Michaelis constants, pH dependence and inhibition by homologous antibodies are identical to those of non-hybrid MM and BB isoenzymes, respectively. 相似文献

Beta-lactam antibiotics restrict bacterial growth by inhibiting DD-peptidases. These enzymes catalyze the final transpeptidation step in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. Although much structural information is now available for these enzymes, the mechanism of the actual transpeptidation reaction has not been studied in detail. The reaction is known to involve a double-displacement mechanism with an acyl-enzyme intermediate, which can be attacked by water, specific amino acids, peptides, and other acyl acceptors. We describe in this paper an investigation of acyl acceptor specificity and assess the need for general base catalysis in the deacylation transition state of the Streptomyces R61 DD-peptidase. We show, by the criterion of solvent deuterium kinetic isotope effect measurements and proton inventories, that the transition states of specific and nonspecific substrates are very similar, at least with respect to proton motion. The transition states for attack (tetrahedral intermediate formation) by d-amino acids and Gly-l-Xaa dipeptides do not include a general base catalyst, while such catalysis is essential for reaction with water and d-alpha-hydroxy acids. D-Alpha-hydroxy acids act as acyl acceptors for glycyl substrates but not for more specific d-alanyl substrates; hydroxy acids actually behave, more generally, as mixed inhibitors of the DD-peptidase. The structural and mechanistic bases of these observations are discussed; they should inform transition state analogue design. 相似文献

The Actinomadura R39 DD-peptidase catalyzes the hydrolysis and aminolysis of a number of small peptides and depsipeptides. Details of its substrate specificity and the nature of its in vivo substrate are not, however, well understood. This paper describes the interactions of the R39 enzyme with two peptidoglycan-mimetic substrates 3-(D-cysteinyl)propanoyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine and 3-(D-cysteinyl)propanoyl-D-alanyl-D-thiolactate. A detailed study of the reactions of the former substrate, catalyzed by the enzyme, showed DD-carboxypeptidase, DD-transpeptidase, and DD-endopeptidase activities. These results confirm the specificity of the enzyme for a free D-amino acid at the N-terminus of good substrates and indicated a preference for extended D-amino acid leaving groups. The latter was supported by determination of the structural specificity of amine nucleophiles for the acyl-enzyme generated by reaction of the enzyme with the thiolactate substrate. It was concluded that a specific substrate for this enzyme, and possibly the in vivo substrate, may consist of a partly cross-linked peptidoglycan polymer where a free side chain N-terminal un-cross-linked amino acid serves as the specific acyl group in an endopeptidase reaction. The enzyme is most likely a DD-endopeptidase in vivo. pH-rate profiles for reactions of the enzyme with peptides, the thiolactate named above, and β-lactams indicated the presence of complex proton dissociation pathways with sticky substrates and/or protons. The local structure of the active site may differ significantly for reactions of peptides and β-lactams. Solvent kinetic deuterium isotope effects indicate the presence of classical general acid/base catalysis in both acylation and deacylation; there is no evidence of the low fractionation factor active site hydrogen found previously in class A and C β-lactamases. 相似文献
