Purified rat brain microvessels were prepared to demonstrate the occurrence of acyl-CoA (EC 6.2.1.3) synthesis activity in the microvasculature of rat brain. Both arachidonoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-CoA synthesis activities showed an absolute requirement for ATP and CoA. This activity was strongly enhanced by magnesium chloride and inhibited by EDTA. The apparent Km values for acyl-CoA synthesis by purified rat brain microvessels were 4.0 microM and 5.8 microM for palmitic acid and arachidonic acid, respectively. The apparent Vmax values were 1.0 and 1.5 nmol X min-1 X mg protein-1 for palmitic acid and arachidonic acid, respectively. Cross-competition experiments showed inhibition of radiolabelled arachidonoyl-CoA formation by 15 microM unlabelled arachidonic acid, with a Ki of 7.1 microM, as well as by unlabelled docosahexaenoic acid, with a Ki of 8.0 microM. Unlabelled palmitic acid and arachidic acid had no inhibitory effect on arachidonoyl-CoA synthesis. In comparison, radiolabelled palmitoyl-CoA formation was inhibited competitively by 15 microM unlabelled palmitic acid, with a Ki of 5.0 microM and to a much lesser extent by arachidonic acid (Ki, 23 microM). The Vmax of palmitoyl-CoA formation obtained on incubation in the presence of the latter fatty acids was not changed. Unlabelled arachidic acid and docosahexaenoic acid had no inhibitory effect on palmitoyl-CoA synthesis. Both arachidonoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-CoA synthesis activities were thermolabile. Arachidonoyl-CoA formation was inhibited by 75% after 7 min at 40 degrees C whereas a 3-min heating treatment was sufficient to produce the same relative inhibition of palmitoyl-CoA synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Four cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities were separated from low-speed supernatants of homogenates of human cardiac ventricle by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, and designated PDE I-PDE IV in order of elution with an increasing salt gradient. PDE I was a Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated activity, and PDE II was an activity with a high Km for cyclic AMP which was stimulated by low concentrations of cyclic GMP. Human ventricle PDE III had Km values of 0.14 microM (cyclic AMP) and 4 microM (cyclic GMP), and showed simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics with both substrates. PDE IV is a previously unrecognized activity in cardiac muscle, the human enzyme having Km values of 2 microM (cyclic AMP) and 50 microM (cyclic GMP). PDE III and PDE IV were not activated by cyclic nucleotides or calmodulin. Four PDE activities were also isolated from guinea-pig ventricle, and had very similar kinetic properties. By gel filtration, the Mr of PDE III was 60,000, and that of PDE IV 45,000. The drug SK&F 94120 selectively and competitively inhibited PDE III with a Ki value of 0.8 microM (human), showing simple hyperbolic inhibition kinetics. Rolipram (Schering ZK 62711) and Ro 20-1724 (Roche), which have previously been reported to inhibit PDE III-like activities strongly, were shown to be weak inhibitors of human and guinea-pig PDE III enzymes (Ki values greater than 25 microM), but potent inhibitors of PDE IV [Ki values 2.4 microM (Rolipram) and 3.1 microM (Ro 20-1724) with human PDE IV]. The inhibition in all cases demonstrated simple hyperbolic competition. These observations suggest that the previously reported complex inhibition of PDE III-type activities from cardiac muscle was caused by incomplete separation of the PDE III from other enzymes, particularly PDE IV. 相似文献

Bovine mammary fatty acid synthetase was inhibited by approximately 50% by 40 microM methylmalonyl-CoA; this inhibition was competitive with respect to malonyl-CoA (apparent Ki = 11 microM). Similarly, 6.25 microM coenzyme A inhibited the synthetase by 35% and this inhibition was again competitive (apparent Ki = 1.7 microM). Apparent Km for malonyl-CoA was 29 microM. The short-chain dicarboxylic acids malonic, methylmalonic and ethylmalonic at high concentrations (160-320 microM) and ATP (5 mM) enhanced the synthetase activity by about 50% respectively; the activating effects of methylmalonic acid and ATP on the synthetase were additive. Methylmalonyl-CoA at 50 microM concentration inhibited the partially purified acetyl-CoA carboxylase uncompetitively by 10% and the propionyl-CoA carboxylase activity of the enzyme preparation competitively (apparent Ki = 21 microM) by 40%. Malonyl-CoA also inhibited the acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity competitively (apparent Ki = 7 microM) by 35% and the propionyl-CoA carboxylating activity of the preparation competitively (apparent Ki = 4 microM) by 82%. The possibility that methylmalonyl-CoA may be a causal factor in the aetiology of the low milk-fat syndrome in high yielding dairy cows is discussed. 相似文献

Acyclovir transport into human erythrocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The mechanism of transport of the antiviral agent acyclovir (ACV) into human erythrocytes has been investigated. Initial velocities of ACV influx were determined with an "inhibitor-stop" assay that used papaverine to inhibit ACV influx rapidly and completely. ACV influx was nonconcentrative and appeared to be rate-saturable with a Km of 260 +/- 20 microM (n = 8). However, two lines of evidence indicate that ACV permeates the erythrocyte membrane by means other than the nucleoside transport system: 1) potent inhibitors (1.0 microM) of nucleoside transport (dipyridamole, 6-[(4-nitrobenzyl)thio]-9-beta-D-ribofuranosylpurine, and dilazep) had little (less than 8% inhibition) or no effect upon the influx of 5.0 microM ACV; and 2) a 100-fold molar excess of several purine and pyrimidine nucleosides had no inhibitory effect upon the influx of 1.0 microM ACV. However, ACV transport was inhibited competitively by adenine (Ki = 9.5 microM), guanine (Ki = 25 microM), and hypoxanthine (Ki = 180 microM). Conversely, ACV was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 240-280 microM) of the transport of adenine (Km = 13 microM), guanine (Km = 37 microM), and hypoxanthine (Km = 180 microM). Desciclovir and ganciclovir, two compounds related structurally to ACV, were also found to be competitive inhibitors of acyclovir influx (Ki = 1.7 and 1.5 mM, respectively). These results indicate that ACV enters human erythrocytes chiefly via the same nucleobase carrier that transports adenine, guanine, and hypoxanthine. 相似文献

Inhibition of cytochrome P450 activities by oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in human liver microsomes 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Oleanolic acid (OA) and ursolic acid (UA), triterpene acids having numerous pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and hepato-protective effects, were tested for their ability to modulate the activities of several cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes using human liver microsomes. OA competitively inhibited CYP1A2-catalyzed phenacetin O-deethylation and CYP3A4-catalyzed midazolam 1-hydroxylation, the major human drug metabolizing CYPs, with IC50 (Ki) values of 143.5 (74.2) microM and 78.9 (41.0) microM, respectively. UA competitively inhibited CYP2C19-catalyzed S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation with an IC50 (Ki) value of 119.7 (80.3) microM. However, other CYPs tested showed no or weak inhibition by both OA and UA. The present study demonstrates that OA and UA have inhibitory effects on CYP isoforms using human liver microsomes. It is thus likely that consumption of herbal medicines containing OA or UA, or administration of OA or UA, can cause drug interactions in humans when used concomitantly with drugs that are metabolized primarily by CYP isoforms. In addition, it appears that the inhibitory effect of OA on CYP1A2 is, in part, related to its anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of saturated fatty acids (SFAs): palmitic acid (PA), stearic acid (SA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs): linoleic acid (LA), linolenic acid (LN), arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on six human drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1 and 3A4) was studied. Supersomes from baculovirus-expressing single isoforms were used as the enzyme source. Phenacetin O-deethylation (CYP1A2), diclofenac 4-hydroxylation (CYP2C9), mephenytoin 4-hydroxylation (CYP2C19), dextromethorphan O-demethylation (CYP2D6), chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation (CYP2E1) and midazolam 1-hydroxylation (CYP3A4) were used as the probes. Results show that all the five examined PUFAs competitively inhibited CYP2C9- and CYP2C19-catalyzed metabolic reactions, with Ki values ranging from 1.7 to 4.7 microM and 2.3 to 7.4 microM, respectively. Among these, AA, EPA and DHA tended to have greater inhibitory potencies (lower IC(50) and Ki values) than LA and LN. In addition, these five PUFAs also competitively inhibited the metabolic reactions catalyzed by CYP1A2, 2E1 and 3A4 to a lesser extent (Ki values>10 microM). On the other hand, palmitic and stearic acids, the saturated fatty acids, had no inhibitory effect on the activities of six human CYP isozymes at concentrations up to 200 microM. Incubation of PUFAs with CYP2C9 or CYP2C19 in the presence of NADPH resulted in the decrease of PUFA concentrations in the incubation mixtures. These results indicate that the PUFAs are potent inhibitors as well as the substrates of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. 相似文献

Sodium pseudomonate was shown to be a powerful competitive inhibitor of Escherichia coli B isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (Ile-tRNA synthetase). The antibiotic competitively inhibits (Ki 6 nM; cf. Km 6.3 microM), with respect top isoleucine, the formation of the enzyme . Ile approximately AMP complex as measured by the pyrophosphate-exchange reaction, and has no effect on the transfer of [14C]isoleucine from the enzyme . [14C]Ile approximately AMP complex to tRNAIle. The inhibitory constant for the pyrophosphate-exchange reaction was of the same order as that determined for the inhibition of the overall aminoacylation reaction (Ki 2.5 nM; cf. Km 11.1 microM). Sodium [9'-3H]pseudomonate forms a stable complex with Ile-tRNA synthetase. Gel-filtration and gel-electrophoresis studies showed that the antibiotic is only fully released from the complex by 5 M-urea treatment or boiling in 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate. The molar binding ratio of sodium [9'-3H]pseudomonate to Ile-tRNA synthetase was found to be 0.85:1 by equilibrium dialysis. Aminoacylation of yeast tRNAIle by rat liver Ile-tRNA synthetase was also competitively inhibited with respect to isoleucine, Ki 20 microM (cf. Km 5.4 microM). The Km values for the rat liver and E. coli B enzymes were of the same order, but the Ki for the rat liver enzyme was 8000 times the Ki for the E. coli B enzyme. This presumably explains the low toxicity of the antibiotic in mammals. 相似文献

Seven arginylfluoroalkanes ('arginine fluoroalkyl ketones') were synthesized by using a modified Dakin-West procedure. The structure of benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was analysed by 19F-n.m.r. spectroscopy and m.s. and the compound was shown to exist primarily as a hydrate or cyclic carbinolamine. Arginylfluoroalkanes are good inhibitors of blood-coagulation serine proteinases and were found to be slow-binding inhibitors for bovine trypsin with Ki values of 0.2-56 microM. Benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was the best inhibitor for bovine thrombin and human Factor XIa, and inhibited thrombin and Factor XIa competitively with Ki values of 13 microM and 62 microM respectively. The best inhibitor for pig pancreatic kallikrein was p-toluoyl-Arg-CF3, with a Ki value of 35 microM. Benzoyl-Arg-CF3 and benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 inhibited human plasma kallikrein competitively, with Ki values of 50 microM. None of the seven arginylfluoroalkanes was a good inhibitor of human factor Xa or of Factor XIIa. The arginylfluoroalkanes were tested in the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) coagulant assays. Two fluoroketones, benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 and 1-naphthoyl-Arg-CF3, had significant anticoagulant activity. Benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was found to prolong the PT 1.8-fold at 120 microM and to prolong the APTT 2.4-fold at 90 microM, whereas 1-naphthoyl-Arg-CF3 only prolonged the APTT 1.7-fold at 100 microM. 相似文献

Phosphoramidon-sensitive endothelin-converting enzyme in the cytosol of cultured bovine endothelial cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Neutral metalloproteases with endothelin-1 (ET-1) converting activity were detected in membranous and cytosolic fractions of cultured endothelial cells (EC) from bovine carotid artery in a ratio of 5:1, respectively. The cytosolic enzyme specifically and quantitatively converts big ET-1 to ET-1 (Km = 10.7 microM), but does not convert big ET-3. Like the membranous enzyme, the cytosolic enzyme is only active at pH 6.5-7.5, and is competitively inhibited by phosphoramidon (Ki = 0.79 microM). The apparent molecular weight of the cytosolic enzyme is about 540 kD, which is 5-6 times greater than that of the membranous enzyme. These results indicate the presence of two types of phosphoramidon-sensitive neutral ET-converting enzyme in vascular EC. 相似文献

The inhibitory effects of coptisine, a protoberberine isoquinoline alkaloid, on type A and type B monoamine oxidase (MAO-A and MAO-B) activities in mouse brain were investigated. Coptisine showed an inhibitory effect on MAO-A activity in a concentration-dependent manner using a substrate kynuramine, but coptisine did not inhibit MAO-B activity. Coptisine exhibited 54.3% inhibition of MAO-A activity at 2 microM. The values of Km and Vmax of MAO-A were 151.9 +/- 0.6 microM and 0.40 +/- 0.03 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively (n=5). Coptisine competitively inhibited MAO-A activity with kynuramine. The Ki value of coptisine was 3.3 microM. The inhibition of MAO-A by coptisine was found to be reversible by dialysis of the incubation mixture. These results suggest that coptisine is a potent reversible inhibitor of MAO-A, and that coptisine functions to regulate the catecholamine content. 相似文献

The eosin Y inhibitory effect on the activity of smooth muscle plasma membrane Ca(2+)-transporting ATPase was studied: effect of this inhibitor on the maximal initial rate of ATP-hydrolase reaction, catalyzed by Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase, on the affinity of enzyme for the reaction reagents (Ca2+, Mg2+, ATP). Dependence of eosin Y inhibitory effect on some physicochemical factors of incubation medium was studied too. It was determined that eosin Y inhibited reversibly and with high specificity purified Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase solubilized from myometrial cell plasma membrane (Ki--0.8 microM), decreased the turnover rate of this enzyme determined both by Mg2+, ATP and Ca2+. This inhibitor had no effect on the enzyme affinity for Ca2+, increased affinity for Mg2+ and decreased affinity for ATP. It was determined that inhibition of Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase by eosin Y depended on pH and dielectric permeability of the incubation medium: increasing of pH from 6.5 to 8.0 reduced the apparent Ki, decreasing of dielectric permeability from 74.07 to 71.19 increased the apparent Ki. 相似文献

The activity of the endoribonuclease VI from Artemia is sensitive to several purine nucleotides. The enzyme is non-competitively inhibited by diguanosine tetraphosphate (Ki = 75 microM), a nucleotide abundant in Artemia encysted gastrulae and located in the same particulate fraction as the gastrular ribonuclease. Diguanosine triphosphate and diadenosine tetraphosphate are less efficient inhibitors (Ki congruent to 200 microM). The ribonuclease is non-competitively inhibited by 5'-AMP (Ki = 10 microM) and 5'-GMP (Ki = 50 microM) but is insensitive to the corresponding 5'-phosphates of cytosine and uridine. Other purine mononucleotides inhibit the enzyme activity less efficiently. The modulation of the enzyme activity by these nucleotides is discussed in relation with the changes in ribonuclease activity during early development of Artemia. 相似文献

We examined the inhibitory effect of three pseudo-aminosugars (validamine, valienamine, and valiolamine), which were isolated from the broth of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, on the oligosaccharide-processing glucosidases I and II involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis in rat liver. Both glucosidases I and II were inhibited to the same extent by the pseudoaminosugars, and valiolamine had a more potent inhibitory activity than validamine or valienamine. A 50% inhibition of valiolamine was observed at 12 microM for glucosidase I and glucosidase II activities acting respectively on the substrates Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 and p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. Further, in order to investigate further the ability of valiolamine to inhibit glucosidase I, reaction products were analyzed by gel filtration on a Bio-Gel P-4 column. We also compared the inhibitory action of these pseudo-aminosugars on the acid alpha-glucosidase of rat liver lysosomes. They competitively inhibited the hydrolysis of both substrates, maltose and glycogen. Valiolamine again had a more potent lysosomal alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the other two. The Ki values of valiolamine for the hydrolysis of maltose and glycogen were 8.1 and 11 microM, respectively. Valiolamine is a particularly effective inhibitor of oligosaccharide glucosidases I and II and of lysosomal alpha-glucosidase. Hence valiolamine might be useful as a research tool in investigations of carbohydrate metabolism. 相似文献

The single-stranded, DNA-dependent ATPase activity of purified recA protein was found to be inhibited competitively by ribose-modified analogs of ATP, 3'-O-anthraniloyl-ATP (Ant-ATP), and 3'-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-ATP (Mant-ATP). The Ki values for Ant-ATP and Mant-ATP were around 7 and 3 microM at pH 7.5, respectively. The inhibitions by these analogs were much stronger than that by ADP, which is also a competitive inhibitor for the ATPase activity of the recA protein. The Ki value for ADP is 76 microM. Ant-ATP and Mant-ATP reduced the Hill coefficient for ATP hydrolysis and thus contributed to the cooperative effect of ATP. 相似文献

An inhibitor (BGIA) against an acidic amino acid-specific endopeptidase of Streptomyces griseus (Glu S. griseus protease) was isolated from seeds of the bitter gourd Momordica charantia L., and its amino acid sequence was determined. The molecular weight of BGIA based on the amino acid sequence was calculated to be 7419. BGIA competitively inhibited Glu S. griseus protease with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 70 nM, and gel filtration analyses suggested that BGIA forms a 1:1 complex with this protease. However, two other acidic amino acid-specific endopeptidases, protease V8 from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis proteinase (Glu B. subtilis protease), were not inhibited by BGIA. BGIA had no inhibitory activity against chymotrypsin, trypsin, porcine pancreatic elastase, and papain, although subtilisin Carlsberg was strongly inhibited. The amino acid sequence of BGIA shows similarity to potato chymotrypsin inhibitor, barley subtilisin-chymotrypsin inhibitor CI-1 and CI-2, and leech eglin C, especially around the reactive site. Although the residue at the putative reactive site of these inhibitors is leucine or methionine, the corresponding amino acid in BGIA is alanine. 相似文献

Opioid and other peptides as inhibitors of leumorphin (dynorphin B-29) converting activity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A thiolprotease from rat brain membranes was shown to convert synthetic dynorphin B-29 (Dyn B-29, "leumorphin") to the tridecapeptide dynorphin B (Dyn B, "rimorphin"). This represents a "single-arginine cleavage" between threonine-13 and arginine-14 of the substrate. The dynorphin converting activity displayed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an apparent Km for the substrate of 0.58 microM. Surprisingly, a synthetic peptide, Dyn B-29-(9-22), which contains the cleavage site, did not inhibit the activity. Dyn A inhibited the activity competitively with an apparent Ki of 3.7 microM. The converting activity was also inhibited by Dyn A-(6-17) but not by Dyn A-(8-17), suggesting a role of Arg6-Arg7 in the inhibition of converting activity. Bovine adrenal medulla Peptide E inhibited the converting activity substantially whereas metorphamide did not, suggesting the importance of COOH-terminal residues in recognition. Beta-Endorphin was an effective inhibitor of converting activity, and [alpha-N-acetyl]beta-endorphin was not, indicating a crucial role of the free NH2-terminus in recognition by the enzyme. ACTH inhibited the activity competitively with an apparent Ki of 39 nM. The converting activity was also inhibited substantially by ACTH-(1-13) but not by alpha-MSH, again indicating a requirement of the free NH2-terminus for recognition. The above results suggest that the converting enzyme recognizes peptides of the three known opioid gene families. 相似文献

The effects of various divalent cations on the Ca2+ uptake by microsomes from bovine aortic smooth muscle were studied. High concentrations (1 mM) of Co2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, and Ni2+ inhibited neither the Ca2+ uptake by the microsomes nor the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate (E approximately P) of the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase of the microsomes. The cadmium ion, however, inhibited both the Ca2+ uptake and the E approximately P formation by the microsomes. Dixon plot analysis indicated Cd2+ inhibited (Ki = 135 microM) the Ca2+ dependent E approximately P formation in a non-competitive manner. The inhibitory effect of Cd2+ was lessened by cysteine or dithiothreitol. The strontium ion inhibited the Ca2+ uptake competitively, while the E approximately P formation increased on the addition of Sr2+ at low Ca2+ concentrations. At a low Ca2+ concentration (1 microM), Sr2+ was taken up by the aortic microsomes in the presence of 1 mM ATP. It is thus suggested that Sr2+ replaces Ca2+ at the Ca2+ binding site on the ATPase. 相似文献

During the search for inhibitors of N-acetylneuraminic acid biosynthesis, it was shown that 3-O-methyl-N-acetylglucosamine competitively inhibits the N-acetylglucosamine kinase of rat liver in vitro with a Ki value of 17 microM. N-Acetylmannosamine kinase is inhibited non-competitively with a Ki value of 80 microM. In a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2), 3-O-methyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (1 mM) inhibits the incorporation of 14C-N-acetylglucosamine and 14C-N-acetylmannosamine into cellular glycoproteins by 88% and 70%, respectively. 相似文献

Kinetic studies on the low- and high-Km transport systems for S-2,4-dinitrophenyl glutathione (DNP-SG) present in erythrocyte membranes were performed using inside-out plasma membrane vesicles. The high-affinity system showed a Km of 3.9 microM a Vmax of 6.3 nmol/mg protein per h, and the low-affinity system a Km of 1.6 mM and a Vmax of 131 nmol/mg protein per h. Both uptake components were inhibited by fluoride, vanadate, p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB) and bis(4-nitrophenyl)dithio-3,3'-dicarboxylate (DTNB). The low-Km uptake process was less sensitive to the inhibitory action of DTNB as compared to the high-Km process. N-Ethylmaleimide (1 mM) inhibited the high-Km process only. The high-affinity uptake of DNP-SG was competitively inhibited by GSSG (Ki = 88 microM). Vice versa, DNP-SG inhibited competitively the low-Km component of GSSG uptake (Ki = 3.3 microM). The high-Km DNP-SG uptake system was not inhibited by GSSG. The existence of a common high-affinity transporter for DNP-SG and GSSG in erythrocytes is suggested. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses two novel regulatory isozymes of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In Pseudomonas aeruginosa the initial enzyme of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase, has been known to be subject to feedback inhibition by a metabolite in each of the three major pathway branchlets. Thus, an apparent balanced multieffector control is mediated by L-tyrosine, by L-tryptophan, and phenylpyruvate. We have now resolved DAHP synthase into two distinctive regulatory isozymes, herein denoted DAHP synthase-tyr (Mr = 137,000) and DAHP synthase-trp (Mr = 175,000). DAHP synthase-tyr comprises greater than 90% of the total activity. L-Tyrosine was found to be a potent effector, inhibiting competitively with respect to both phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 23 microM) and erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 23 microM). Phenylpyruvate was a less effective competitive inhibitor: phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 2.55 mM) and erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 1.35 mM). DAHP synthase-trp was found to be inhibited noncompetitively by L-tryptophan with respect to phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 40 microM) and competitively with respect to erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 5 microM). Chorismate was a relatively weak competitive inhibitor: phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 1.35 mM) and erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 2.25 mM). Thus, each isozyme is strongly inhibited by an amino acid end product and weakly inhibited by an intermediary metabolite. 相似文献
