Arginyl and histidyl groups are essential for organic anion exchange in renal brush-border membrane vesicles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of side chain modification on the organic anion exchanger in the renal brush-border membrane was examined to identify what amino acid residues constitute the substrate binding site. One histidyl-specific reagent, diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), and 2 arginyl-specific reagents, phenylglyoxal and 2,3-butanedione, were tested for their effect on the specifically mediated transport of p-amino[3H]hippurate (PAH), a prototypic organic anion. The specifically mediated transport refers to the difference in the uptake of [3H]PAH in the absence and presence of a known competitive inhibitor, probenecid, and was examined in brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from the outer cortex of canine kidneys. The experiments were performed utilizing a rapid filtration assay. DEPC, phenylglyoxal, and 2,3-butanedione inactivated the specifically mediated PAH transport, i.e. probenecid inhibitable transport with IC50 values of 160, 710, and 1780 microM, respectively. The rates of PAH inactivation by DEPC and phenylglyoxal were suggestive of multiple pseudo first-order reaction kinetics and were consistent with a reaction mechanism whereby more than 1 arginyl or histidyl residue is inactivated. Furthermore, PAH (5 mM) did not affect the rate of phenylglyoxal inactivation. In contrast, PAH (5 mM) affected the rate of DEPC inactivation. The modification by DEPC was specific for histidyl residues since transport could be restored by treatment with hydroxylamine. The results demonstrate that histidyl and arginyl residues are essential for organic anion transport in brush-border membrane vesicles. We conclude that the histidyl residue constitutes the cationic binding site for the anionic substrate, whereas the arginyl residue(s) serves to guide the substrate to or away from the histidyl site. 相似文献

Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cell glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GA3PD) (EC. 1.2.1.12) was completely inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), a fairly specific reagent for histidine residues in the pH range of 6.0-7.5. The rate of inactivation was dependent on pH and followed pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The difference spectrum of the inactivated and native enzymes showed an increase in the absorption maximum at 242 nm, indicating the modification of histidine residues. Statistical analysis of the residual enzyme activity and the extent of modification indicated modification of one essential histidine residue to be responsible for loss of the catalytic activity of EAC cell GA3PD. DEPC inactivation was protected by substrates, D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and NAD, indicating the presence of essential histidine residue at the substrate-binding region of the active site. Double inhibition studies also provide evidence for the presence of histidine residue at the active site. 相似文献

Evidence for the involvement of histidine at the active site of glutathione S-transferase psi from human liver 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The inhibition of catalytic activity of glutathione S-transferase psi (pI 5.5) of human liver by diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) has been studied. It is demonstrated that DEPC causes a concentration dependent inactivation of GST psi with a concomitant modification of 1-1.3 histidyl residues/subunit of the enzyme. This inactivation of GST psi could be reversed by treatment with hydroxylamine. Glutathione afforded complete protection to the enzyme from inactivation by DEPC. It is suggested that a functional histidyl residue is essential for the catalytic activity of the enzyme and that this residue is most likely to be present at or near the glutathione binding site (G-site). 相似文献

Modification of a zinc proteinase from Bacillus mesentericus strain 76 by diethylpyrocarbonate 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
S Stoeva 《International journal of peptide and protein research》1991,37(4):325-330
Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) inactivated the neutral zinc proteinase from Bacillus mesentericus strain 76/Bacillus subtilis (MCP 76) by ethoxycarbonylation completely. Exposure of the enzyme to DEPC together with the competitive inhibitor Z-L-phenylalanine prevented the loss of activity toward both peptide and protein substrates. Treatment with hydroxylamine restored the catalytic properties of the modified MCP 76 to that of the native enzyme. After chymotryptic digestion of ethoxycarbonylated MCP 76 in the presence and absence of Z-L-phenylalanine a single histidyl residue essential for the enzyme activity was isolated and identified as histidine 231. 相似文献

Diethyl pyrocarbonate inactivated the tetrameric 3 alpha,20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with second-order rate constants of 1.63 M-1 s-1 at pH 6 and 25 degrees C or 190 M-1 s-1 at pH 9.4 and 25 degrees C. The activity was slowly and partially restored by incubation with hydroxylamine (81% reactivation after 28 h with 0.1 M hydroxylamine, pH 9, 25 degrees C). NADH protected the enzyme against inactivation with a Kd (10 microM) very close to the Km (7 microM) for the coenzyme. The ultraviolet difference spectrum of inactivated vs. native enzyme indicated that a single histidyl residue per enzyme subunit was modified by diethyl pyrocarbonate, with a second-order rate constant of 1.8 M-1 s-1 at pH 6 and 25 degrees C. The histidyl residue, however, was not essential for activity because in the presence of NADH it was modified without enzyme inactivation and modification of inactivated enzyme was rapidly reversed by hydroxylamine without concomitant reactivation. Progesterone, in the presence of NAD+, protected the histidyl residue against modification, and this suggests that the residue is located in or near the steroid binding site of the enzyme. Diethyl pyrocarbonate also modified, with unusually high reaction rate, one lysyl residue per enzyme subunit, as demonstrated by dinitrophenylation experiments carried out on the treated enzyme. The correlation between inactivation and modification of lysyl residues at different pHs and the protection by NADH against both inactivation and modification of lysyl residues indicate that this residue is essential for activity and is located in or near the NADH binding site of the enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Diethyl pyrocarbonate (ethoxyformic anhydride) was used to modify histidyl residues in prothrombin. Diethyl pyrocarbonate inactivated the potential fibrinogen-clotting activity of prothrombin with a second-order rate constant of 70 M-1 min-1 at pH 6.0 and 25 degrees C. The difference spectrum of the modified protein had a maximum absorption at 240 nm which is characteristic of N-carbethoxyhistidine. The pH dependence for inactivation suggested the participation of a residue with a pKa of 6.2. Addition of hydroxylamine to ethoxyformylated prothrombin reversed the loss of fibrinogen-clotting activity. No structural differences were detected between the native and modified proteins using fluorescence emission and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography. The tyrosine and tryptophan content was not altered, but approximately 1-2 amino groups were modified. Statistical analysis of residual enzyme activity and extent of modification indicates that among 7 histidyl residues modified per molecule, there is 1 essential histidine (not in the active site) involved in the potential fibrinogen-clotting activity of prothrombin. To further examine its properties, the modified prothrombin was activated to thrombin using Echis carinatus venom protease. There was no difference in the catalytic activity of thrombin obtained from either native or ethoxyformylated prothrombin, as measured by H-D-Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-p-nitroanilide (D-Phe-Pip-Arg-NA) hydrolysis. However, thrombin produced from the modified protein showed a loss of fibrinogen-clotting activity but had a comparable apparent Ki value (about 20 microM) to thrombin from native prothrombin when fibrinogen was used as a competitive inhibitor during D-Phe-Pip-Arg-NA hydrolysis. The similarity in Ki values indicated that thrombin derived from diethyl pyrocarbonate-modified prothrombin does not have an altered fibrinogen-binding site. Although the histidyl residue involved during inactivation has not been identified, the results suggest that a histidyl residue in the thrombin portion of prothrombin is essential for interaction with fibrinogen. 相似文献

Diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) in conditions that favour carbethoxylation of histidyl residues strongly inactivated E-type ATPase activity of a rat lung membrane preparation, as well as ecto-ATPase activity of rat vessels and human Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B lymphocytes. Inactivation of the enzyme (up to 70%) achieved at concentrations of DEPC below 0.5 mM could be fully reversed by 200 mM hydroxylamine at pH 7.5, thus confirming histidine-selective modification. UTP effectively protected the enzyme activity from DEPC inactivation. This was taken to indicate that the conformation adopted by the enzyme molecule upon substrate binding was not compatible with DEPC reaching and/or modifying the relevant histidyl residue. Substrate activation curves were interpreted to show the enzyme molecule to be inactive, at all substrate concentrations tested, when the target histidyl residue had been modified by DEPC. Comparison of known sequences of CD39-like ecto-ATP(D)ases with the results on inactivation by DEPC revealed His-59 and His-251 (according to the human CD39 sequence) as equally possible targets of the inactivating DEPC modification. Potato apyrase lacks a homologue for the former residue, while the latter is preserved in the enzyme sequence. Therefore, this enzyme was exposed to DEPC, and since hydrolysis of ATP and ADP by potato apyrase was insensitive to modification with DEPC, it was concluded that His-59 is the essential residue in CD39 that is affected by DEPC modification in a way that causes inactivation of the enzyme. 相似文献

Diethylpyrocarbonate inhibition of vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase possibly involves a histidine residue
Vacuolar proton pumping pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase; EC 3.6.1.1) plays a pivotal role in electrogenic translocation of protons from cytosol to the vacuolar lumen at the expense of PPi hydrolysis. A histidine-specific modifier, diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC), could substantially inhibit enzymic activity and H+-translocation of vacuolar H+-PPase in a concentration-dependent manner. Absorbance of vacuolar H+-PPase at 240 nm was increased upon incubation with DEPC, demonstrating that an N-carbethoxyhistidine moiety was probably formed. On the other hand, hydroxylamine, a reagent that can deacylate N-carbethoxyhistidine, could reverse the absorption change at 240 nm and partially restore PPi hydrolysis activity as well. The pK
a of modified residues of the enzyme was determined to be 6.4, a value close to that of histidine. Thus, we speculate that inhibition of vacuolar H+-PPase by DEPC possibly could be attributed to the modification of histidyl residues on the enzyme. Furthermore, inhibition of vacuolar H+-PPase by DEPC follows pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. A reaction order of 0.85 was calculated from a double logarithmic plot of the apparent reaction constant against DEPC concentration, suggesting that the modification of one single histidine residue on the enzyme suffices to inhibit vacuolar H+-PPase. Inhibition of vacuolar H+-PPase by DEPC changes V
max but not K
m values. Moreover, DEPC inhibition of vacuolar H+-PPase could be substantially protected against by its physiological substrate, Mg2+-PPi. These results indicated that DEPC specifically competes with the substrate at the active site and the DEPC-labeled histidine residue might locate in or near the catalytic domain of the enzyme. Besides, pretreatment of the enzyme with N-ethylmaleimide decreased the degree of subsequent labeling of H+-PPase by DEPC. Taken together, we suggest that vacuolar H+-PPase likely contains a substrate-protectable histidine residue contributing to the inhibition of its activity by DEPC, and this histidine residue may located in a domain sensitive to the modification of Cys-629 by NEM. 相似文献

UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Kluyveromyces fragilis was completely inactivated by diethylpyrocarbonate following pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The pH profile of diethylpyrocarbonate inhibition and reversal of inhibition by hydroxylamine suggested specific modification of histidyl residues. Statistical analysis of the residual enzyme activity and the extent of modification indicated modification of 1 essential histidine residue to be responsible for loss in catalytic activity of yeast epimerase. No major structural change in the quarternary structure was observed in the modified enzyme as shown by the identical elution pattern on a calibrated Sephacryl 200 column and association of coenzyme NAD to the apoenzyme. Failure of the substrates to afford any protection against diethylpyrocarbonate inactivation indicated the absence of the essential histidyl residue at the substrate binding region of the active site. Unlike the case of native enzyme, sodium borohydride failed to reduce the pyridine moiety of the coenzyme in the diethylpyrocarbonate-modified enzyme. This indicated the presence of the essential histidyl residue in close proximity to the coenzyme binding region of the active site. The abolition of energy transfer phenomenon between the tryptophan and coenzyme fluorophore on complete inactivation by diethylpyrocarbonate without any loss of protein or coenzyme fluorescence are also added evidences in this direction. 相似文献

Diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibits pig kidney holo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase with a second-order rate constant of 1170 M-1 min-1 at pH 6.8 and 25 degrees C, showing a concomitant increase in absorbance at 242 nm due to formation of carbethoxyhistidyl derivatives. Activity can be restored by hydroxylamine, and the pH curve of inactivation indicates the involvement of a residue with a pKa of 6.03. Complete inactivation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase requires the modification of 6 histidine residues/mol of enzyme. Statistical analysis of the residual enzyme activity and of the extent of modification shows that, among 6 modifiable residues, only one is critical for activity. Protection exerted by substrate analogues, which bind to the active site of the enzyme, suggests that the modification occurs at or near the active site. The modified inactivated 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase still retains most of its ability to bind substrates. Thus, it may be suggested that the inactivation of enzyme by diethyl pyrocarbonate is not due to nonspecific steric or conformational changes which prevent substrate binding. However, the modified enzyme fails to produce at high pH either an enzyme-substrate complex or an enzyme-product complex absorbing at 390 nm. Considerations on this peculiar feature of the modified enzyme consistent with a catalytic role for the modified histidyl residue are discussed. The overall conclusion of this study may be that the modification of only one histidyl residue of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase inactivates the enzyme and that this residue plays an essential role in the mechanism of action of the enzyme. 相似文献

Sarcosine oxidase [sarcosine: oxygen oxidoreductase (demethylating) EC 1.5.3.1] from Corynebacterium contained 8 sulfhydryl groups per mol of enzyme as determined with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) in the presence of 0.2% SDS and by titration with p-chloromercuribenzoate (PMB). Among them, 2 groups were easily modified by iodoacetamide (IAA) and the modification resulted in complete loss of enzymatic activity. The inactivation by IAA followed first-order kinetics with respect to IAA concentration. The presence of acetate, a competitive inhibitor (I), protected the enzyme from inactivation by IAA. However, the protection was only approximately 50%. The enzyme was also inactivated by PMB, but in this case, there was practically no recovery of activity after treatment with thiol compounds. The enzyme was also rapidly inactivated by incubation with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP). The absorbance change accompanying the inactivation showed that a single histidyl residue was modified by DEP, resulting in a complete loss of enzymatic activity. In the presence of acetate, the enzyme was completely protected from DEP-inactivation. Furthermore, DEP-inactivated enzyme recovered its enzymatic activity on treatment with hydroxylamine. These observations seem to imply that the modified histidine is essential for enzyme activity. In addition, modification by DEP changed the absorption spectrum in the visible region. This strongly suggests that the modified histidyl residue is present in the vicinity of the flavin moiety of the enzyme molecule. 相似文献

Reaction of the phosphofructokinase from Ascaris suum with the reagent, diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC), results in the loss of enzymatic activity. Treatment of the inactivated enzyme with hydroxylamine brings about the recovery of almost 80% of the original activity suggesting that the modified residues are histidines. Further evidence for the modification of histidines is that concomitant with the loss of activity, there is a change in A242 nm that corresponds to the derivatization of 5-6 histidines per subunit. There is no change in A278 nm during the derivatization process, thereby ruling out the modification of tyrosines by DEPC. Analyses of the first order inactivation rate constant for DEPC derivatization at different pH values resulted in the determination of a pKa of 6.4 +/- 0.1 for the group on the enzyme that reacts with DEPC. Derivatization of the enzyme with DEPC in the presence of fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) protected the enzyme against inactivation by 80%. ATP or MgATP gave no protection against DEPC inactivation. When the Fru-6-P-protected enzyme was further reacted with DEPC in the absence of Fru-6-P, a total of 2 histidines were modified per subunit, and the derivatization of one of these could be correlated with activity loss. When the phosphofructokinase that had been derivatized by DEPC in the presence of Fru-6-P was assayed, it was found that it no longer exhibited allosteric properties and appeared to be desensitized to ATP inhibition. This loss of ATP inhibition could be correlated with the modification of 2 histidines per subunit by DEPC. The first order rate constant for desensitization was determined at different pH values and a pKa value of 7.0 +/- 0.2 was obtained for the group(s) responsible for the desensitization. Regulatory studies with the desensitized enzyme revealed that the enzyme was not stimulated by AMP, NH4+, K+, phosphate, sulfate, or hexose bisphosphates. It is concluded that histidine may be involved both in the active site and the ATP inhibitory site of the ascarid phosphofructokinase. 相似文献

Role of arginine residue in saccharopine dehydrogenase (L-lysine forming) from baker's yeast 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The baker's yeast saccharopine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.7) was inactivated by 2,3-butanedione following pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for inactivation was linearly related to the butanedione concentration, and a value of 7.5 M-1 min-1 was obtained for the second-order rate constant at pH 8.0 and 25 degrees C. Amino acid analysis of the inactivated enzyme revealed that arginine was the only amino acid residue affected. Although as many as eight arginine residues were lost on prolonged incubation with butanedione, only one residue appears to be essential for activity. The modification resulted in the change in Vmax, but not in Km, values for substrates. The inactivation by butanedione was substantially protected by L-leucine, a competitive analogue of substrate lysine, in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and alpha-ketoglutarate. Since leucine binds only to the enzyme-NADH-alpha-ketoglutarate complex, the result suggests that an arginine residue located near the binding site for the amino acid substrate is modified. Titration with leucine showed that the reaction of butanedione also took place with the enzyme-NADH-alpha-ketoglutarate-leucine complex more slowly than with the free enzyme. The binding study indicated that the inactivated enzyme still retained the capacity to bind leucine, although the affinity appeared to be somewhat decreased. From these results it is concluded that an arginine residue essential for activity is involved in the catalytic reaction rather than in the binding of the coenzyme and substrates. 相似文献

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), when incubated with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC), shows a time-dependent loss of iodide oxidation activity. The inactivation follows pseudo-first order kinetics with a second order rate constant of 0.43 min-1 M-1 at 30 degrees C and is reversed by neutralized hydroxylamine. The difference absorption spectrum of the modified versus native enzyme shows a peak at 244 nm, characteristic of N-carbethoxyhistidine, which is diminished by treatment with hydroxylamine. Correlation between the stoichiometry of histidine modification and the extent of inactivation indicates that out of 2 histidine residues modified, one is responsible for inactivation. A plot of the log of the reciprocal half-time of inactivation against log DEPC concentration further suggests that only 1 histidine is involved in catalysis. The rate of inactivation shows a pH dependence with an inflection point at 6.2, indicating histidine derivatization by DEPC. Inactivation due to modification of tyrosine, lysine, or cysteine has been excluded. CD studies reveal no significant change in the protein or heme conformation following DEPC modification. We suggest that a unique histidine residue is required for maximal catalytic activity of HRP for iodide oxidation. 相似文献

Summary The involvement of a histidyl residue in the binding or translocation step was investigated in the malate carrier at the tonoplast of Catharanthus roseus cells. The transport rate was strongly stimulated when the pH of the incubation medium was decreased from pH 7.0 to 5.0. The histidine-specific reagent diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) efficiently inhibited the activity of the malate carrier. Inhibition developed rapidly and was completed after 5 min at a concentration of 2 mM DEPC. The original substrate, malate, partially protected the carrier from inactivation by DEPC. Other organic acids (citrate, quinate) which are known to affect the malate transport of isolated vacuoles or tonoplast vesicles also showed protective properties. Inhibition of malate transport on tonoplast vesicles can also be achieved by photooxidation in the presence of the dye Rose Bengal. Malate also proved to protect against inactivation.The results strongly support the notion that a histidyl residue(s) is involved either in the binding or translocation of malate and that the protonation of the histidyl residue is essential to provide a high rate of malate transport.This research was supported by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and by a grant from the European Community (BRIDGE program).

Chemical modification studies of manganese(III)-containing acid phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.2] were carried out to investigate the contributions of specific amino-acid side-chains to the catalytic activity. Incubation of the enzyme with N-ethylmaleimide at pH 7.0 caused a significant loss of the enzyme activity. The inactivation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Double log plots of pseudo-first-order rate constant vs. concentration gave a straight line with a slope of 1.02, suggesting that the reaction of one molecule of reagent per active site is associated with activity loss. The enzyme was protected from inactivation by the presence of molybdate or phosphate ions. Amino acid analyses of the N-ethylmaleimide-modified enzyme showed that the 96%-inactivated enzyme had lost about one histidine and one-half lysine residue per enzyme subunit without any significant decrease in other amino acids, and also demonstrated that loss of catalytic activity occurred in parallel with the loss of histidine residue rather than that of lysine residue. Molybdate ions also protected the enzyme against modification of the histidine residue. The enzyme was inactivated by photooxidation mediated by methylene blue according to pseudo-first-order kinetics. The pH profile of the inactivation rates of the enzyme showed that an amino acid residue having a pKa value of approximately 7.2 was involved in the inactivation. These studies indicate that at least one histidine residue per enzyme subunit participates in the catalytic function of Mn(III)-acid phosphatase. 相似文献

Arginase from the gills of the bivalveSemele solida was inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) in a pseudo-first-order reaction with a bimolecular rate constant of 160 M−1 min−1. The reaction order with respect to DEPC concentration was 1, the inactivation followed a titration curve for a residue with a pKa of 6.4 at 25°C and the enzymatic activity was restored by hydroxylamine. It is concluded that inactivation results from the modification of a single histidine residue. Borate, a noncompetitive inhibitor with respect to arginine, protected the enzyme from inactivation by DEPC. 相似文献

The relationship of the active sites which catalyze the three reactions in the trifunctional enzyme C1-tetrahydrofolate synthase (C1-THF synthase) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been examined with immunochemical and chemical modification techniques. Immunotitration of the enzyme with a polyclonal antiserum resulted in identical inhibition curves for the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities which were distinctly different from the inhibition curve for the synthetase activity. During chemical modification with diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), the three activities were inactivated at significantly different rates, indicating that at least three distinct essential residues are involved in the reaction with DEPC. The pH dependence of the reaction with DEPC was consistent with the modification of histidyl residues. Treatment of C1-THF synthase with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) resulted in significant inactivation of only the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities, with the cyclohydrolase at least an order of magnitude more sensitive than the dehydrogenase. Inactivation of cyclohydrolase was biphasic at NEM concentrations above 0.1 mM, suggesting two essential cysteinyl residues were being modified. NADP+, a dehydrogenase substrate, protected both dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities, but not synthetase activity, against inactivation by either reagent. Synthetase substrates had no protective ability. Pteroylpolyglutamates and p-aminobenzoic acid polyglutamates exhibited some protection of all three activities. The p-aminobenzoic acid polyglutamate series showed progressive protection with increasing chain length. These results are consistent with an overlapping site for the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase reactions, independent from the synthetase active site. Possible active-site configurations and the role of the polyglutamate tail in substrate binding are discussed. 相似文献

Nonactivated phosphorylase kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle is inactivated by treatment with phenylglyoxal. Under mild reaction conditions, a derivative that retains 10-15% of the pH 8.2 catalytic activity is obtained. The kinetics of inactivation profile, differential effects of modification on pH 6.8 and 8.2 catalytic activities, and the insensitiveness of the modified enzyme to activation by ADP reveal that the 10-15% of catalytic activity remaining is very likely due to intrinsic catalytic activity of the derivative rather than to the presence of unmodified enzyme molecules. The kinetic results also suggest that the inactivation is correlatable with the reaction of one molecule of the reagent with the enzyme without any prior binding of phenylglyoxal. The phenylglyoxal modification reduces the autophosphorylation rate of the kinase. Autophosphorylated phosphorylase kinase is inactivated by phenylglyoxal at a much slower rate than the inactivation of nonactivated kinase. Thus, phenylglyoxal modification influences the phosphorylation and vice versa. The modified enzyme can be reactivated by treatment with trypsin or by dissociation using chatropic salts. The activity of the phenylglyoxal-modified enzyme after trypsin digestion or dissociation with LiBr reaches the same level as that of the native enzyme digested with trypsin or treated with LiBr under identical conditions. The results suggest that the effect of modification is overcome by dissociation of the subunits of phosphorylase kinase and that the catalytic site is not modified under conditions when 85% of the pH 8.2 catalytic activity is lost. Among various nucleotides and metal ions tested, only ADP, with or without Mg2+, afforded effective protection against inactivation with phenylglyoxal. At pH 6.8, 1 mM ADP afforded complete protection against inactivation. Experiments with 14C-labeled phenylglyoxal revealed that ADP seemingly protects one residue from modification. This result is in agreement with the kinetic result that the inactivation seemingly is due to reaction of one molecule of the reagent with the enzyme. The results confirm the existence of a high-affinity ADP binding site on nonactivated phosphorylase kinase and suggest the involvement of a functional arginyl residue at or near the ADP binding site in the regulation of of pH 8.2 catalytic activity of the enzyme. 相似文献

Under suitable conditions (pH 9.0, 40°C), bovine milk lactoperoxidase was irreversibly and completely inactivated by diazotized sulfanilate. The inactivation process was temperature-dependent, the inactivation rate being fast at 30–40°C. Complete inactivation of the enzyme revealed ca. two azotyrosines and one azohistidine per each enzyme molecule. Modification with diethylpyrocarbonate, methyl-4-nitrobenzenesul fonate and rose bengal did not reveal essential histidyl residues. These experiments suggested that the activity of lactoperoxidase depends on two active tyrosyl residues and that the azotizable histidyl residue is not essential for activity. 相似文献
