Quercetin inhibited a dog kidney ( preparation without affecting for ATP or for cation activators, attributable to the slowly-reversible nature of its inhibition. Dimethyl sulfoxide, a selector of E2 enzyme conformations, blocked this inhibition, while the K+-phosphatase activity was at least as sensitive to quercetin as the ( activity, all consistent with quercetin favoring E1 conformations of the enzyme. Oligomycin, a rapidly-reversible inhibitor, decreased the for ATP and the for cation activators, and its inhibition was also diminished by dimethyl sulfoxide. Although oligomycin did not inhibit the K+-phosphatase activity under standard assay conditions, a reaction presumably catalyzed by E2 conformations, its effects are nevertheless accommodated by a quantitative model for that reaction depicting oligomycin as favoring E1 conformations. The model also accounts quantitatively for effects of both dimethyl sulfoxide and oligomycin on , for substrate, and for K+, as well as for stimulation of phosphatase activity by both these reagents at low K+ but high Na+ concentrations. 相似文献

Glutamate synthase, an important enzyme in the assimilation of ammonia, was measured in cultures of grown with different nitrogen sources. An attempt was made to correlate the specific activity to the intracellular levels of five metabolites of glutamate metabolism: aspartate, glutamate, glutamine, alanine and . An inverse relationship was found between the activity of glutamate synthase and the pool level of glutamine. We propose that the intracellular concentration of glutamine is an important element in controlling the level of glutamate synthase. 相似文献

The activity and crystal stability of the enzyme thiosulfate sulfurtransferase were studied as a function of ionic strength. At 2 ammonium sulfate, where the x-ray structural studies of this protein were done soluble enzyme has low activity (<16% of the activity of the enzyme at an ionic strength of 0.1) and crystals of the enzyme are stable when substrates are added. However, at 1.4 M ammonium sulfate, crystals of TST rapidly dissolve in 1 mM CN? but are relatively stable in 1 mM . These results are consistent with a conformational change on converting the sulfur substituted form of the enzyme (ES) to the sulfur-free form (E) and helps to explain why this change was not observed in the crystallographic studies. 相似文献

Nitrogenase activity in agar cultures of cowpea rhizobia, strain 32H1, was rapidly inhibited by but this was relieved by increased O2 tension. Inhibition was more rapid than that caused by inhibitors of protein synthesis and was not relieved by methionine sulfoximine or methionine sulfone. Under conditions were nitrogenase activity was inhibited by , glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase were substantially unaffected. Glutamate dehydrogenase was undetected in either nitrogenase active or inhibited cultures. These results indicate that inhibition of nitrogenase activity in strain 32H1 is not effected through glutamine synthetase regulation of nitrogenase synthesis. 相似文献

(1) Treatment of from rabbit kidney outer medulla with the labeled thio-analogue of ATP in the presence of and the absence of K+ leads to thiophosphorylation of the enzyme. The value for [γ-S]ATP is 2.2 μM and for Na+ 4.2 mM at 22°C. Thiophosphorylation is a sigmoidal function of the Na+ concentration, yielding a Hill coefficient . (2) The thio-analogue () can also support overall activity, but at 37°C is only h?1 or 0.09% of the specific activity for ATP (). (3) The thiophosphoenzyme intermediate, like the natural phosphoenzyme, is sensitive to hydroxylamine, indicating that it also is an acylphosphate. However, the thiophosphoenzyme, unlike the phosphoenzyme, is acid labile at temperatures as low as 0°C. The acid-denatured thiophosphoenzyme has optimal stability at pH 5–6. (4) The thiophosphorylation capacity of the enzyme is equal to its phosphorylation capacity, indicating the same number of sites. Phosphorylation by ATP excludes thiophosphorylation, suggesting that the two substrates compete for the same phosphorylation site. (5) The (apparent) rate constants of thiophosphorylation (0.4 s?1 vs. 180 s?1), spontaneous dethiophosphorylation (0.04 s?1 vs. 0.5 s?1) and K+-stimulated dethiophosphorylation (0.54 s?1 vs. 230 s?1) are much lower than those for the corresponding reactions based on ATP. (6) In contrast to the phosphoenzyme, the thiophosphoenzyme is ADP-sensitive (with an apparent rate constant in ADP-induced dethiophosphorylation of 0.35 s?1, ) and is relatively K+-insensitve. The for K+ in dethiophosphorylation is 0.9 mM and in dephosphorylation 0.09 mM. The thiophosphoenzyme appears to be for 75–90% in the ADP-sensitive E1-conformation. 相似文献

Bacterial bioluminescence-identification of fatty acid as product, its quantum yield and a suggested mechanism 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
By using radioactive decanal the direct transformation of this aldehyde to decanoic acid, with a quantum yield of 0.13, has been demonstrated. A mechanism analogous to that of other better understood bioluminescent reactions is proposed, leading to a product, as yet unisolated from the enzymic reaction, whose fluorescence spectrum is an excellent match for that of the luminescence.The extensive examination1,2,3 of the isolated bacterial luminescence system has resulted in the accepted outline shown. We wish to modify it, in accordance with the previous evidence, by suggesting that ’intermediates I and II‘ in Hastings' terminology2 are the same enzyme bound FMNH2 moiety. A lively controversy has surrounded the attempts to determine whether aldehyde exerts a purely catalytic role2 or is transformed in the reaction.4 If the aldehyde reacts, then the simplest product is the corresponding carboxylic acid, perhaps formed via the peracid. The most likely alternative reaction would involve enolistation and oxidation at the α-methylene group. We examined the second alternative fairly carefully, and found no evidence for it. We do not wish to report these results in detail at present, since we have now established that the acid corresponding to that formed in a normal autoxidation of the aldehyde is the product. Some indication of the nature of the products of the reaction is available.5Since the amount of product in the reaction is restricted to a very low level by the concentrations required, we labelled decanal with tritium at C-2 and thus were able to record the yield with some precision. Although recent work6 strongly implies that acid is formed stoichiometrically, the direct measurement of the quantum yield with respect to acid formation is necessary before a mechanism can be written. We have suggested a mechanism compatible with observations in this system, analogous to all cases of bioluminescence for which a mechanism is reasonably well established. This mechanism also leads to a product excited state with excellent agreement around pH7 in fluorescence wavelength to that of the luminescence. 相似文献

1. Formate inhibits cytochrome oxidase activity both in intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles, and in isolated cytochrome . The inhibition increases with decreasing pH, indicating that HCOOH may be the inhibitory species.2. Formate induces a blue shift in the absorption spectrum of oxidized cytochrome ) and in the half-reduced species (). Comparison with cyanide-induced spectral shifts, towards the red, indicates that formate and cyanide have opposite effects on the spectrum, both in the fully oxidized and the half-reduced states. The formate spectra provide a new method of obtaining the difference spectrum of minus , free of the difficulties with cyanide (which induces marked high → low spin spectral shifts in cytochrome ) and azide (which induces peak shifts of cytochrome towards the blue in both α- and Soret regions).3. The rate of formate dissociation from cytochrome is faster than its rate of dissociation from , especially in the presence of cytochrome . The for formate inhibition of respiration is a function of the reduction state of the system, varying from 30 mM (100% reduction) to 1 mM (100% oxidation) at pH 7.4, 30 °C.4. Succinate-cytochrome reductase activity is also inhibited by formate, in a reaction competitive with succinate and dependent on [formate]2.5. Formate inhibition of ascorbate plus oxidation by intact rat liver mitochondria is partially released by uncoupler addition. Formate is permeable through the inner mitochondrial membrane and no differences in ‘on’ or ‘off’ inhibition rates were observed when intact mitochondria were compared with submitochondrial particles.6. NADH-cytochrome reductase activity is unaffected by formate in submitochondrial particles, but mitochondrial oxidation of glutamate plus malate is subject both to terminal inhibition at the cytochrome level and to a slow extra inhibition by formate following uncoupler addition, indicating a third site of formate action in the intact mitochondrion. 相似文献

(1) A membrane fraction enriched in (EC 3.6.1.3) was obtained from optic ganglia of the squid (Loligo pealei) by density gradient fractionation of membranes followed by treatment with either SDS or Brij-58. The resulting membrane had an specific activity of approx. 2 units/mg and was ouabain-sensitive. (2) The had a for ATP of and a pH optimum of 7.0. It was inhibited by ouabain with a of . (3) Optimum monovalent cation concentrations were: 240 mM NaCl, 60 mM KCl, tested with . (4) The Mg2+ dependence of hydrolysis varied with the absolute ATP concentration. At 3 mM ATP, the for Mg2+ was , and at 6 mM ATP, the was . High levels of Mg2+ caused inhibition of hydrolysis. (5) The interactions of Na+ and K+ were examined over a range of conditions. K+ levels caused modulations in the Na+ dependence in the range of 1–150 mM. (6) The prepared from squid optic ganglion displays properties similar to those of the sodium pump in injected nerves. 相似文献

The ATP/ADP exchange is shown to be a partial reaction of the by the absence of measurable nucleoside diphosphokinase activity and the insensitivity of the reaction to , -di(adenosine-5′) pentaphosphate, a myokinase inhibitor. The exchange demonstrates an absolute requirement for Mg2+ and is optimal at an ADP/ATP ratio of 2. The high ATP concentration () required for maximal exchange is interpreted as evidence for the involvement of a low affinity form of nucleotide site. The ATP/ADP exchange is regarded as evidence for an ADP-sensitive form of the phosphoenzyme. In native enzyme, pre-steady state kinetics show that the formation of the phosphoenzyme is partially sensitive to ADP while modification of the enzyme by pretreatment with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) in the absence of Mg2+ results in a steady-state phosphoenzyme population, a component of which is ADP sensitive. The ATP/ADP exchange reaction can be either stimulated or inhibited by the presence of K+ as a function of pH and Mg2+. 相似文献

The activity of calcium-stimulated and magnesium-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase which possesses a high affinity for free calcium (high-affinity , EC 3.6.1.3) has been detected in rat ascites hepatoma AH109A cell plasma membranes. The high-affinity had an apparent half saturation constant of for free calcium, a maximum reaction velocity of ATP hydrolyzed/mg protein per min, and a Hill number of 0.8. Maximum activity was obtained at 0.2 μM free calcium. The high-affinity was absolutely dependent on 3–10 mM magnesium and the pH optimum was within physiological range (pH 7.2–7.5). Among the nucleoside trisphosphates tested, ATP was the best substrate, with an apparent of 30 μM. The distribution pattern of this enzyme in the subcellular fractions of the ascites hepatoma cell homogenate (as shown by the linear sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation method) was similar to that of the known plasma membrane marker enzyme alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), indicating that the ATPase was located in the plasma membrane. Various agents, such as K+, Na+, ouabain, KCN, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and NaN3, had no significant effect on the activity of high-affinity . Orthovanadate inhibited this enzyme activity with an apparent half-maximal inhibition constant of 40 μM. The high-affinity was neither inhibited by trifluoperazine, a calmodulin-antagonist, nor stimulated by bovine brain calmodulin, whether the plasma membranes were prepared with or without ethylene glycol . Since the kinetic properties of the high-affinity showed a close resemblance to those of erythrocyte plasma membrane , the high-affinity of rat ascites hepatoma cell plasma membrane is proposed to be a calcium-pumping ATPase of these cells. 相似文献

Calcium uptake by adipocyte endoplasmic reticulum was studied in a rapidly obtained microsomal fraction. The kinetics and ionic requirements of Ca2+ transport in this preparation were characterized and compared to those of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity. The time course of Ca2+ uptake in the presence of 5 mM oxalate was nonlinear, approaching a steady-state level of 10.8–11.5 nmol Ca2+/mg protein after 3–4 min of incubation. The rate of Ca2+ transport was increased by higher oxalate concentrations with a near linear rate of uptake at 20 mM oxalate. The calculated initial rate of calcium uptake was 18.5 nmol Ca2+/mg protein per min. The double reciprocal plot of ATP concentration against transport rate was nonlinear, with apparent values of 100 μM and 7 μM for ATP concentration ranges above and below 50 μM, respectively. The apparent values for Mg2+ and Ca2+ were 132 μM and 0.36–0.67 μM, respectively. The energy of activation was 23.4 kcal/mol. These kinetic properties were strikingly similar to those of the microsomal ()-ATPase. The presence of potassium was required for maximum Ca2+ transport activity. The order of effectiveness of monovalent cations in stimulating both Ca2+ transport and ( activity was transport and ( activity were both inhibited 10–20% by 6 mM procaine and less than 10% by 10 mM sodium azide. Both processes were completely inhibited by 3 mM dibucaine or 50 μM sulfonate. The results indicate that Ca2+ transport in adipocyte endoplasmic reticulum is mediated by a and suggest an important role for endoplasmic reticulum in control of intracellular Ca2+ distribution. 相似文献

Na+, K+ and Cl? concentrations () and activities (), and mucosal membrane potentials () were measured in epithelial cells of isolated bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) small intestine. Segments of intestine were stripped of their external muscle layers, and bathed (at 25°C and pH 7.2) in oxygenated Ringer solutions containing 105 mM Na+ and Cl? and 5.4 mM K+. Na+ and K+ concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry and Cl? concentrations by conductometric titration following extraction of the dried tissue with 0.1 M HNO3. 14C-labelled inulin was used to determine extracellular volume. was measured with conventional open tip microelectrodes, with solid-state Cl?-selective silver microelectrodes and and with Na+- and K+-selective liquid ion-exchanger microelectrodes. The average recorded was ?34 mV. , and were 51, 105 and 52 mM. The corresponding values for , and were 18, 80 and 33 mM. These results suggest that a large fraction of the cytoplasmic Na+ is ‘bound’ or sequestered in an osmotically inactive form, that all, or virtually all the cytoplasmic K+ behaves as if in free solution, and that there is probably some binding of cytoplasmic Cl?. significantly exceeds the level corresponding to electrochemical equilibrium across the mucosal and baso-lateral cell membranes. Earlier studies showed that coupled mucosal entry of Na+ and Cl? is implicated in intracellular Cl? accumulation in this tissue. This study permitted estimation of the steady-state transapical Na+ and Cl? electrochemical potential differences (Δμ̄Na and Δμ̄Cl). Δμ̄Na (?7000 J · mol?1; cell minus mucosal medium) was energetically more than sufficient to account for Δμ̄Cl (1000–2000 J · mol?1). 相似文献

(1) +/electron acceptor ratios have been determined with the oxidant pulse method for cells of denitrifying Paracoccus denitrificans oxidizing endogenous substrates during reduction of O2, NO?2 or N2O. Under optimal H+-translocation conditions, the ratios , , for reduction to N2 and for reduction to N2O were 6.0–6.3, 4.02, 5.79 and 3.37, respectively. (2) With ascorbate/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as exogenous substrate, addition of NO?2 or N2O to an anaerobic cell suspension resulted in rapid alkalinization of the outer bulk medium. , for reduction to N2 and for reduction to N2O were ?0.84, ?2.33 and ?1.90, respectively. (3) The ratios, mentioned in item 2, were not altered in the presence of and the triphenylmethylphosphonium cation. (4) A simplified scheme of electron transport to O2, NO?2 and N2O is presented which shows a periplasmic orientation of the nitrite reductase as well as the nitrous oxide reductase. Electrons destined for NO?2, N2O or O2 pass two H+-translocating sites. The acceptor ratios predicted by this scheme are in good agreement with the experimental values. 相似文献

The relative effectiveness of oxidizing (.OH, H2O2), ambivalent (O2?) and reducing free radicals (e? and CO2?) in causing damage to membranes and membrane-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase of resealed erythrocyte ghosts has been determined. The rates of damage to membranebound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ((enz)) were measured and the rates of damage to membranes ((mb)) were assessed by measuring changes in permeability of the resealed ghosts to the relatively low molecular weight substrates of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Each radical was selectively isolated from the mixture produced during gamma-irradiation, using appropriate mixtures of scavengers such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and formate. .OH, O2? and H2 O2 were approximately equally effective in inactivating membrane-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, while e? and CO2? were the least effective. (enz) values of O2? and H2O2 were 10-times and of .OH 15-times that of e?. (mb) values were quite similar for e? and H2O2 (about twice that of O2?), while that of .OH was 3-times that of O2?. Hence, with respect to (mb): , and with respect to (enz): . The difference between the effectiveness of the most damaging and the least damaging free radicals was more than 10-fold greater in damage to the enzyme than to the membranes. Comparison between H2O2 added as a chemical reagent and H2O2 formed by irradiation showed that membranes and membrane-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were relatively inert to reagent H2O2 but markedly susceptible to the latter. 相似文献

In order to test the question if a pool of lipophilic ions may exist in black lipid membranes which cannot be detected by electrical relaxation measurements we have performed simultaneously measurements of the optical absorption of a lipophilic ion. The absorbance of membrane-bound dipicrylamine at 410 nm was measured with a sensitive spectrophotometer which can detect absorbance changes . A minimal concentration of about 6 · 1011 dipicrylamine ions per cm2 of the membrane could be detected with this instrument. The dipicrylamine concentration in the membrane obtained with the optical method is compared with the concentrations obtained from simultaneous electrical relaxation measurements. and agreed at low dipicrylamine concentrations (10?8–10?7 M in the aqueous phase) and showed saturation at higher concentrations (up to 5 · 10?6 M). In the saturation range was maximally four times higher than . The significance of this difference is discussed together with general aspects of the saturation phenomenon. 相似文献

The immobilization of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata chromatophores by entrapment in an alginate gel is described. Alginate beads were prepared with Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ca2+ as gel-forming agents and compared for their mechanical strength, chemical resistance against disruption by phosphate-induced swelling, and yield of photophosphorylation activity. Barium alginate beads proved to have better physico-chemical properties than the more commonly used calcium alginate beads. After embedding in barium alginate gel, R. capsulata chromatophores retained a high yield (up to 70%) of their photophosphorylation capacity. Alginate entrapment did not cause a large increase in the Michaelis constant for ADP and phosphate, the substrates of adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase). These constants were and for free chromatophores and and for chromatophores entrapped in barium alginate gel. However, embedding gave no additional protection against rapid inactivation of chromatophores upon storage at 3°C. Preliminary results with a batch reactor for continuous ATP regeneration are presented. The barium alginate method has two features which are not generally encountered at the same time, extremely mild conditions for entrapment and excellent physical properties of the gels beads, which make this method a suitable tool for the construction of bioreactors with immobilized cells or organelles. 相似文献

The action of ATP and its analogs as well as the effects of alkali ions were studied in their action on the ouabain receptor. One single ouabain receptor with a dissociation constant () of 13 nM was found in the presence of () and (). pH changes below pH 7.4 did not affect the ouabain receptor. Ouabain binding required Mg2+, where a curved line in the Scatchard plot appeared. The affinity of the receptor for ouabain was decreased by K+ and its congeners, by Na+ in the presence of (), and by ATP analogs (ADP-C-P, ATP-OCH3). Ca2+ antagonized the action of K+ on ouabain binding. It was concluded that the ouabain receptor exists in a low affinity (Rα) and a high affinity conformational state (Rβ). The equilibrium between both states is influenced by ligands of . With 3 mM Mg2+ a mixture between both conformational states is assumed to exist (curved line in the Scatchard plot). 相似文献

The kinetics of isotopic Na+ flows was studied in urinary bladders of toads from the Dominican Republic. Initial studies of the potential dependence of passive serosal to mucosal 22Na+ efflux demonstrated the absence of isotope interaction and/or other coupling with passive Na+ flow. The electrical current and mucosal to serosal 22Na+ influx were then measured with transmembrane potential clamped at . Subsequent elimination of active Na+ transport mucosal amiloride permitted calculation of the rates of active Na+ transport and active and passive influx and and . The results indicate that for Dominican toad bladders mounted in chambers only Na+ contributes significantly to transepithelial active ion transport; hence . was abolished at .

The partial purification of from pig lens has been achieved by treatment with deoxycholate followed by density gradient centrifugation. The specific activity of the final preparation, ranging from 300 to 500 nmol/h per mg protein, is increased approx. 100-fold compared to the homogenate. A parallel increase in activity is also observed. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis reveals six major protein bands, one of which is the 93 kDa α subunit of which can be phosphorylated by reaction with [γ-32P]ATP. A second band contains a glycoprotein which displays an apparent molecular weight of 51 000 and thus appears to be the β subunit of the enzyme. The enzyme is sensitive to ouabain with the for and inhibition being 1.2 and 1.3 μM, respectively. Several agents which inhibit from other tissues such as oligomycin, Ca2+, vanadate, , (PCMBS) and 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) also inhibit the lens enzyme. Monovalent cations other than K+ are partially effective in activating the ()-ATPase and activities. The K+ congeners were relatively more effective in supporting compared to activity. Other kinetic properties of the lens enzyme are also comparable to those of the enzyme from other tissues. Utilizing the partially purified membrane bound enzyme, discontinuities in Arrhenius plots of activity, activity and fluoresence polarization of the fluidity probe, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH), are observed near the physiological temperature of lens. The possible significance of these observations for the mechanism of cataract formation are discussed. 相似文献

Commercial [5-14C]mevalonate is shown to contain several radioactive impurities, which give artifactually high amounts of Hyamine bound, volatile acidic radioactivity when incubated with killed or living rat renal cortex slices, as compared with [5-14C]mevalonate purified either by liquid-liquid partition chromatography or through the enzymically generated by ion-exchange chromatography. The artifactual results were not diluted by incubation with increasing amounts of unlabelled mevalonate, whereas the and []cholesterol produced by rat renal cortex slices incubated with purified [5-14C]mevalonate were both diluted to the same extent by unlabelled mevalonate. It is concluded that is genuinely oxidized to , and that purification of substrate before its use is necessary.
