A partially purified preparation of alpha-aminoadipate reductase (EC 1.2.1.31) from Penicillium chrysogenum is competitively inhibited by lysine (Ki of 0.26 mM). Exogenous addition of 10 mM L-lysine to resting mycelia of P. chrysogenum increased the intracellular lysine pool concentration 2-fold, but decreased the incorporation of (6-14C)-alpha-aminoadipate into protein-bound lysine to a fifth. The distribution of radioactivity in the pathway metabolites alpha-aminoadipate, saccharopine and lysine was consistent with the assumption of a lysine sensitive enzyme step in vivo between alpha-aminoadipate and saccharopine. Hence lysine inhibition of alpha-aminoadipate reductase may be of physiologic importance. 相似文献

The activity and regulation of alpha-aminoadipate reductase in three Penicillium chrysogenum strains (Q176, D6/1014/A, and P2), producing different amounts of penicillin, were studied. The enzyme exhibited decreasing affinity for alpha-aminoadipate with increasing capacity of the respective strain to produce penicillin. The enzyme from all three strains was inhibited by L-lysine, and the enzyme from the lowest producer, Q176, was least sensitive. Between pH 7.5 and 6.5, inhibition of alpha-aminoadipate reductase by L-lysine was pH dependent, being more pronounced at lower pH. The highest producer strain, P2, displayed the lowest alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity at pH 7.0. In Q176, the addition of 0.5-1 mM of exogenous lysine stimulated penicillin formation, whereas the same concentration was ineffective or inhibitory with strains D6/1014/A and P2. The addition of higher (up to 5 mM) lysine concentrations inhibited penicillin production in all three strains. In mutants of P. chrysogenum D6/1014/A, selected for resistance to 20 mM alpha-aminoadipate, highest penicillin production was observed in those strains whose alpha-aminoadipate reductase was most strongly inhibited by L-lysine. The results support the conclusion that the in vivo activity of alpha-aminoadipate reductase from superior penicillin producer strains of P. chrysogenum is more strongly inhibited by lysine, and that this is related to their ability to accumulate increased amounts of alpha-aminoadipate, and hence penicillin. 相似文献

Heavy metal pollution can arise from many sources and damage many organisms. Exposure to the metal ions can leads to a reduction in cellular antioxidant enzyme activities and lowers cellular defense against oxidative stress. In this study we have tested effects of the some metal ions on the purified bovine kidney cortex glutathione reductase (GR). Cadmium (Cd2+), nickel (Ni2+), and zinc (Zn2+) showed inhibitory effect on the enzyme. The obtained IC?? values of Cd2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ are 0.027, 0.8, and 1 mM, respectively. Kinetic characterization of the inhibition is also investigated. Cd2+ inhibition is noncompetitive with respect to both oxidized glutathione (GSSG) (Ki(GSSG) 0.060 ± 0.005 mM) and NADPH (Ki(NADPH) 0.025 ± 0.002 mM). Ni2+ inhibition is noncompetitive with respect to GSSG (Ki(GSSG) 0.329 ± 0.016 mM) and uncompetitive with respect to NADPH (Ki(NADPH) 0.712 ± 0.047 mM). The effect of Zn2+ on GR activity is consistent with noncompetitive inhibition pattern when the varied substrate is the GSSG (Ki(GSSG) 0.091 ± 0.005 mM) and the NADPH (Ki(NADPH) 0.226 ± 0.01 mM), respectively. GR inhibition studies may be useful for understanding the mechanisms for oxidative damage associated with heavy metal toxicity. 相似文献

The alpha-aminoadipate reductase, a novel enzyme in the alpha-aminoadipic acid pathway for the biosynthesis of lysine in fungi, catalyzes the conversion of alpha-aminoadipic acid to alpha-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde in the presence of ATP, NADPH and MgCl(2). This reaction requires two distinct gene products, Lys2p and Lys5p. In the presence of CoA, Lys5p posttranslationally activates Lys2p for the alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity. Sequence alignments indicate the presence of all functional domains required for the activation, adenylation, dehydrogenation and alpha-aminoadipic acid binding in the Lys2p. In this report we present the results of site-directed mutational analysis of the conserved amino acid residues in the catalytic domains of Lys2p from the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Mutants were generated in the LYS2 sequence of pCaLYS2SEI by PCR mutagenesis and expressed in E. coli BL21 cells. Recombinant mutants and the wild-type Lys2p were analyzed for their alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity. Substitution of threonine 416, glycine 418, serine 419, and lysine 424 of the adenylation domain (TXGSXXXXK, residues 416-424) resulted in a significant reduction in alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity compared to the unmutagenized Lys2p control. Similarly replacement of glycine 978, threonine 980, glycine 981, phenylalanine 982, leucine 983 and glycine 984 of the NADPH binding domain (GXTGFLG, residues 978-984) caused a drastic decrease in alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity. Finally, substitution of histidine 460, aspartic acid 461, proline 462, isoleucine 463, glutamine 464, arginine 465, and aspartic acid 466 of the putative alpha-aminoadipic acid binding domain (HDPIQRD, residues 460-466) resulted in a highly reduced alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity. These results confirm the hypothesis that specific amino acid residues in highly conserved catalytic domains of Lys2p are essential for the alpha-aminoadipate reductase activity. 相似文献

alpha-Aminoadipate reductase (alpha-AAR) is a key enzyme in the branched pathway for lysine and beta-lactam biosynthesis of filamentous fungi since it competes with alpha-aminoadipyl-cysteinyl-valine synthetase for their common substrate L-alpha-aminoadipic acid. The alpha-AAR activity in two penicillin-producing Penicillium chrysogenum strains and two cephalosporin-producing Acremonium chrysogenum strains has been studied. The alpha-AAR activity peaked during the growth-phase preceding the onset of antibiotic production, which coincides with a decrease in alpha-AAR activity, and was lower in high penicillin- or cephalosporin-producing strains. The alpha-AAR required NADPH for enzyme activity and could not use NADH as electron donor for reduction of the alpha-aminoadipate substrate. The alpha-AAR protein of P. chrysogenum was detected by Western blotting using anti-alpha-AAR antibodies. The mechanism of lysine feedback regulation in these two filamentous fungi involves inhibition of the alpha-AAR activity but not repression of its synthesis by lysine. This is different from the situation in yeasts where lysine feedback inhibits and represses alpha-AAR. Nitrate has a strong negative effect on alpha-AAR formation as shown by immunoblotting studies of alpha-AAR. The nitrate effect was reversed by lysine. 相似文献

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from sporangiophores of Phycomyces blakesleeanus NRRL 1555 (-) was partially purified. The enzyme showed a molecular weight of 85 700 as determined by gel-filtration. NADP+ protected the enzyme from inactivation. Magnesium ions did not affect the enzyme activity. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was specific for NADP+ as coenzyme. The reaction rates were hyperbolic functions of substrate and coenzyme concentrations. The Km values for NADP+ and glucose 6-phosphate were 39.8 and 154.4 microM, respectively. The kinetic patterns, with respect to coenzyme and substrate, indicated a sequential mechanism. NADPH was a competitive inhibitor with respect to NADP+ (Ki = 45.5 microM) and a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to glucose 6-phosphate. ATP inhibited the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The inhibition was of the linear-mixed type with respect to NADP+, the dissociation constant of the enzyme-ATP complex being 2.6 mM, and the enzyme-NADP+-ATP dissociation constant 12.8 mM. 相似文献

Lysine is catabolyzed by the bifunctional enzyme lysine 2-oxoglutarate reductase-saccharopine dehydrogenase (LOR-SDH) in both animals and plants. LOR condenses lysine and 2-oxoglutarate into saccharopine, using NADPH as cofactor and SDH converts saccharopine into alpha-aminoadipate delta-semialdehyde and glutamic acid, using NAD as cofactor. The distribution pattern of LOR and SDH among different tissues of Phaseolus vulgaris was determined. The hypocotyl contained the highest specific activity, whereas in seeds the activities of LOR and SDH were below the limit of detection. Precipitation of hypocotyl proteins with increasing concentrations of PEG 8000 revealed one broad peak of SDH activity, indicating that two isoforms may be present, a bifunctional LOR-SDH and possibly a monofunctional SDH. During the purification of the hypocotyl enzyme, the LOR activity proved to be very unstable, following ion-exchange chromatography. Depending on the purification procedure, the protein eluted as a monomer of 91-94 kDa containing only SDH activity, or as a dimer of 190 kDa with both, LOR and SDH activities, eluting together. 相似文献

Perfusion of rat livers with 10 mM-fructose or pretreatment of the rat with 6-aminonicotinamide (70 mg/kg) 6 h before perfusion decreased intracellular ATP concentrations and increased the rate of p-nitroanisole O-demethylation. This increase was accompanied by a decrease in the free [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio calculated from concentrations of substrates assumed to be in near-equilibrium with isocitrate dehydrogenase. After pretreatment with 6-aminonicotinamide the [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio also declined. Reduction of NADP+ during mixed-function oxidation may be explained by inhibition of of one or more NADPH-generating enzymes. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and "malic" enzyme, partially purified from livers of phenobarbital-treated rats, were inhibited by ATP and ADP. Inhibitor constants of ATP for the four dehydrogenases varied considerably, ranging from 9 micrometer for "malic" enzyme to 1.85 mM for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase was also inhibited by ATP (Ki 2.8 mM) and by ADP (Ki 0.9 mM), but not by AMP. Concentrations of ATP and ADP that inhibited glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and the reductase were comparable with concentrations in the intact liver. Thus agents that lower intracellular ATP may accelerate rates of mixed-function oxidation by a concerted mechanism involving deinhibition of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and one or more NADPH-generating enzymes. 相似文献

Spinach leaf phosphoribulokinase is sensitive to modification by ATP analogs that react with lysine residues. The 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative of ATP (oATP) inactivates enzyme in a slow, time-dependent fashion. The process follows first-order kinetics (kinact = 0.07 min-1), and the concentration dependence of inactivation indicates tight inhibitor binding (Ki = 106 microM). ATP offers good protection against inactivation (Kd = 67 microM), suggesting that oATP is directed toward the catalytic site. This conclusion is supported by the fact that oATP functions as an alternate substrate (Km = 0.55 mM). Inactivation of phosphoribulokinase by [14C]oATP results in a modification stoichiometry of 0.7/site. The 14C-labeled enzyme is stable to dialysis, suggesting that the covalent adduct formed between protein and oATP is not a simple Schiff's base. Adenosine di- and triphosphopyridoxals (Ado-P2-Pl and Ado-P3-Pl, respectively) also inhibit spinach phosphoribulokinase in a time-dependent fashion. In this case, activity loss is reversible unless the inhibited species is borohydride-reduced, suggesting that Ado-P2-Pl and Ado-P3-Pl form Schiff's bases with an amino group on the enzyme. Protection is afforded by the substrate ATP, suggesting that modification is active site-directed. Prolonged incubation of enzyme with these inhibitors does not result in complete inactivation of phosphoribulokinase. Residual activity is dependent on inhibitor concentration, as would be expected if equilibrium is established between the noncovalent E.I complex and the covalent (Schiff's base) E-I species. Kinetic data analysis indicates Ki values of 175 and 11 microM for Ado-P2-Pl and Ado-P3-Pl, respectively. Thus, the ATP-binding domain can easily accommodate the pyridoxal moiety which is tethered to the polyphosphate chain. The phosphorylated ATP analogs employed in this study exhibit substantially tighter binding to phosphoribulokinase than does fluorosulfonyl-benzoyladenosine (Ki = 4.8 mM), which we have previously demonstrated to be useful in selectively modifying the ATP-binding domain (Krieger, T. J., and Miziorko, H. M. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 3496-3501; Krieger, T. J., Mende-Mueller, L. M., and Miziorko, H. M. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 915, 112-119). Although the adduct formed between oATP and enzyme was unsuitable for structural analysis, borohydride reduction of the Schiff's base formed between enzyme and Ado-P3-[3H]Pl produced a species useful for investigation by protein chemistry techniques. A radiolabeled tryptic peptide was prepared, isolated, and sequenced; the data indicate that lysine 68 is the residue modified by Ado-P3-[3H]Pl. 相似文献

The thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus synthesizes lysine through the alpha-aminoadipate pathway, which uses alpha-aminoadipate as a biosynthetic intermediate of lysine. LysX is the essential enzyme in this pathway, and is believed to catalyze the acylation of alpha-aminoadipate. We have determined the crystal structures of LysX and its complex with ADP at 2.0A and 2.38A resolutions, respectively. LysX is composed of three alpha+beta domains, each composed of a four to five-stranded beta-sheet core flanked by alpha-helices. The C-terminal and central domains form an ATP-grasp fold, which is responsible for ATP binding. LysX has two flexible loop regions, which are expected to play an important role in substrate binding and protection. In spite of the low level of sequence identity, the overall fold of LysX is surprisingly similar to that of other ATP-grasp fold proteins, such as D-Ala:D-Ala ligase, PurT-encoded glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase, glutathione synthetase, and synapsin I. In particular, they share a similar spatial arrangement of the amino acid residues around the ATP-binding site. This observation strongly suggests that LysX is an ATP-utilizing enzyme that shares a common evolutionary ancestor with other ATP-grasp fold proteins possessing a carboxylate-amine/thiol ligase activity. 相似文献

Extracts of Acetobacter xylinum catalyze the phosphorylation of glycerol and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) to form, respectively, L-alpha-glycerophosphate and DHA phosphate. The ability to promote phosphorylation of glycerol and DHA was higher in glycerol-grown cells than in glucose- or succinate-grown cells. The activity of glycerol kinase in extracts is compatible with the overall rate of glycerol oxidation in vivo. The glycerol-DHA kinase has been purified 210-fold from extracts, and its molecular weight was determined to be 50,000 by gel filtration. The glycerol kinase to DHA kinase activity ratio remained essentially constant at 1.6 at all stages of purification. The optimal pH for both reactions was 8.4 to 9.2. Reaction rates with the purified enzyme were hyperbolic functions of glycerol, DHA, and ATP. The Km for glycerol is 0.5 mM and that for DHA is 5 mM; both are independent of the ATP concentration. The Km for ATP in both kinase reactions is 0.5 mM and is independent of glycerol and DHA concentrations. Glycerol and DHA are competitive substrates with Ki values equal to their respective Km values as substrates. D-Glyceraldehyde and l-Glyceraldehyde were not phosphorylated and did not inhibit the enzyme. Among the nucleotide triphosphates tested, only ATP was active as the phosphoryl group donor. Fructose diphosphate (FDP) inhibited both kinase activities competitively with respect to ATP (Ki= 0.02 mM) and noncompetitively with respect to glycerol and DHA. Adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) inhibited both enzymic activities competitively with respect to ATP (Ki (ADP) = 0.4 mM; Ki (AMP) =0.25 mM). A. xylinum cells with a high FDP content did not grow on glycerol. Depletion of cellular FDP by starvation enabled rapid growth on glycerol. It is concluded that a single enzyme from A. xylinum is responsible for the phosphorylation of both glycerol and DHA. This as well as the sensitivity of the enzyme to inhibition by FDP and AMP suggest that it has a regulatory role in glycerol metabolism. 相似文献

The alpha-aminoadipate pathway for the biosynthesis of lysine is present only in fungi and euglena. Until now, this unique metabolic pathway has never been investigated in the opportunistic fungal pathogens Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Five of the eight enzymes (homocitrate synthase, homoisocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-aminoadipate reductase, saccharopine reductase, and saccharopine dehydrogenase) of the alpha-aminoadipate pathway and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, a glycolytic enzyme used as a control, were demonstrated in wild-type cells of these organisms. All enzymes were present in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the pathogenic organisms except C. neoformans 32608 serotype C, which exhibited no saccharopine reductase activity. The levels of enzyme activity varied considerably from strain to strain. Variation among organisms was also observed for the control enzyme. Among the pathogens, C. albicans exhibited much higher homocitrate synthase, homoisocitrate dehydrogenase, and alpha-aminoadipate reductase activities. Seven lysine auxotrophs of C. albicans and one of Candida tropicalis were characterized biochemically to determine the biochemical blocks and gene-enzyme relationships. Growth responses to alpha-aminoadipate- and lysine-supplemented media, accumulation of alpha-aminoadipate semialdehyde, and the lack of enzyme activity revealed that five of the mutants (WA104, WA153, WC7-1-3, WD1-31-2, and A5155) were blocked at the alpha-aminoadipate reductase step, two (STN57 and WD1-3-6) were blocked at the saccharopine dehydrogenase step, and the C. tropicalis mutant (X-16) was blocked at the saccharopine reductase step. The cloned LYS1 gene of C. albicans in the recombinant plasmid YpB1078 complemented saccharopine dehydrogenase (lys1) mutants of S. cerevisiae and C. albicans. The Lys1+ transformed strains exhibited significant saccharopine dehydrogenase activity in comparison with untransformed mutants. The cloned LYS1 gene has been localized on a 1.8-kb HindIII DNA insert of the recombinant plasmid YpB1041RG1. These results established the gene-enzyme relationship in the second half of the alpha-aminoadipate pathway. The presence of this unique pathway in the pathogenic fungi could be useful for their rapid detection and control. 相似文献

alpha-L-Glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase (sn-glycerol-3-phosphate:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.8) from Saccharomyces carlsbergensis was purified 400-fold. The enzyme preparation is free of interfering activities, such as glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, triose phosphate isomerase and glycerolphosphatase. At pH 7.0 it is specific for NADH (Km = 0.027 mM with 0.8 mM dihydroxyacetone phosphate) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (Km = 0.2 mM with 0.2 mM NADH). Between pH 5.0 and 6.0 the enzyme functions with NADPH, but only at 7% of the rate with NADH. Various anions (I- greater than SO42- greater than Br- greater than Cl-) act as inhibitors competing with the substrate dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Inorganic phosphate (Ki = 0.1 mM), pyrophosphate and arsenate are strong inhibitors. The nucleotides ATP and ADP are also inhibitory, but their action seems to be of the same type as the general anion competition (Ki = 0.73 mM for ATP). The results are consistent with the notion that the enzyme may regulate the redox potential of the NAD+/NADH couple during fermentation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The biosynthesis of the essential amino acid lysine in higher fungi and cyanobacteria occurs via the alpha-aminoadipate pathway, which is completely different from the lysine biosynthetic pathway found in plants and bacteria. The penultimate reaction in the alpha-aminoadipate pathway is catalysed by NADPH-dependent saccharopine reductase. We set out to determine the structure of this enzyme as a first step in exploring the structural biology of fungal lysine biosynthesis. RESULTS: We have determined the three-dimensional structure of saccharopine reductase from the plant pathogen Magnaporthe grisea in its apo form to 2.0 A resolution and as a ternary complex with NADPH and saccharopine to 2.1 A resolution. Saccharopine reductase is a homodimer, and each subunit consists of three domains, which are not consecutive in amino acid sequence. Domain I contains a variant of the Rossmann fold that binds NADPH. Domain II folds into a mixed seven-stranded beta sheet flanked by alpha helices and is involved in substrate binding and dimer formation. Domain III is all-helical. The structure analysis of the ternary complex reveals a large movement of domain III upon ligand binding. The active site is positioned in a cleft between the NADPH-binding domain and the second alpha/beta domain. Saccharopine is tightly bound to the enzyme via a number of hydrogen bonds to invariant amino acid residues. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the structure of the ternary complex of saccharopine reductase, an enzymatic mechanism is proposed that includes the formation of a Schiff base as a key intermediate. Despite the lack of overall sequence homology, the fold of saccharopine reductase is similar to that observed in some enzymes of the diaminopimelate pathway of lysine biosynthesis in bacteria. These structural similarities suggest an evolutionary relationship between two different major families of amino acid biosynthetic pathway, the glutamate and aspartate families. 相似文献

Carboxypeptidase H (CPH) is one of the later enzymes in the cascade of proteolytic steps required for the posttranslational processing of peptide hormone precursors, including processing of proenkephalin. In this study, CPH activity in the soluble and membrane fractions of enkephalin-containing bovine chromaffin granules was competitively inhibited by its products arginine and lysine. Ki values for arginine and lysine were 4.6 +/- 1.3 and 7.6 +/- 1.9 mM, respectively, indicating that arginine was a more effective inhibitor than lysine. Other amino acids (at 10 mM) had no effect. The in vivo intragranular concentrations of lysine and arginine are similar to the measured Ki values, indicating that product inhibition of CPH by basic amino acids may occur in vivo. 相似文献

1. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate inhibits glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides reversibly which Ki equals 0.04-0.06 mM. 2. This inhibition is competitive with respect to glucose 6-phosphate and non-competitive with respect to NADP+ or NAD+. Interaction between enzyme and excess pyridoxal 5'-phosphate follows pseudo-first-order kinetics and indicates that one molecule of inhibitor reacts with each active unit of enzyme. 3. Substrate and coenzyme protect the enzyme from inhibition by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Dissociation constants for NADP+ and glucose 6-phosphate were determined from their effects on the kinetics of enzyme--inhibitor interaction. 4. Reaction of the enzyme with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate produces a typical Schiff-base absorbance peak at 430 nm. Subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride leads to spectral changes characteristic for the formation of a secondary amine. 5. The irreversibly inactivated enzyme thus produced contains two moles of inhibitor per mole of enzyme (two subunits per mole). After protein hydrolysis, N-6-pyridoxyllysine can be identified by paper chromatography. 6. The enzyme is inhibited irreversibly by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, even in the presence of excess 2-mercaptoethanol. At least one dinitrophenyl group is bound per active unit of enzyme; 4 to 5 moles of dinitrophenyl group are bound per mole of enzyme. NADP+ AND GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE PROTECT AGAINST INHIBITION BY 1-FLUORO-2,4-DINITROBENZENE. The absorption spectrum of dinitrophenyl-enzyme corresponds to that for dinitrophenylated amino groups. 7. These studies indicate that there is an essential lysine at the active site of the enzyme. It is suggested that the function of this lysine is to bind glucose 6-phosphate. 8. It is proposed that a group of "active lysine" proteins may exist (in analogy with the "active serine" enzymes), which share a common structural feature at their substrate-binding site and to which pyridoxal 5'-phosphate binds specifically. 相似文献

A homogeneous preparation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, EC 1.1.1.49) with a specific activity of 3.88 U/mg protein was isolated from pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaves. The molecular mass of the G6PDH is 79 +/- 2 kD. According to SDS-PAGE, the molecular mass of the enzyme subunit is 40 +/- 3 kD. The Km values for glucose-6-phosphate and NADP are 2 and 0.5 mM, respectively. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 8.0. Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+ activate the enzyme at concentrations above 1 mM. Galactose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate inhibit the G6PDH from pea leaves. Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate and galactose-1-phosphate are enzyme activators. NADPH is a competitive inhibitor of the G6PDH with respect to glucose-6-phosphate (Ki = 0.027 mM). ATP, ADP, AMP, UTP, NAD, and NADH have no effect on the activity of the enzyme. 相似文献

The activity of NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from bovine heart was inhibited by NADH (apparent Ki about 4.3 microM) and NADPH (Ki about 9.8 microM) at subsaturating substrate concentrations at pH 7.4. The inhibition by NADH or NADPH was reversed competitively by magnesium isocitrate in the presence of ADP, but not without ADP. Reversal of inhibition by NADH or NADPH with respect to NAD+ was competitive or of the linear mixed type depending on whether ADP was absent or present. ADP3- (0.2 mM) increased the Ki(app) for NADPH from 9.8 to 27.1 microM; further addition of Ca2+ (0.2 mM) raised the Ki(app) to 127 microM. For the modification of NADPH inhibition by ADP, S0.5 for Ca2+ was approximately 48 microM. This compares to the Km for Ca2+ of 0.3-1 microM for the activation of the enzyme without NADPH [Denton, R. M., Richards, D. A., & Chin, J. G. (1978) Biochem. J. 176, 899-906; Aogaichi, T., Evans, J., Gabriel, J., & Plaut, G. W. E. (1980) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 204, 350-360]. ADP did not affect the Ki for NADH. Magnesium citrate, which was about 100-fold more effective as a positive modifier of the enzyme with ADP than without ADP [Gabriel, J. L., & Plaut, G. W. E. (1983) Fed. Proc., Fed. Am. Soc. Exp. Biol. 42, 2082], reversed competitively the inhibition by NADPH in the presence of ADP, but not without ADP.

Aspartokinase from Streptococcus mutans BHT was purified to homogeneity and characterized. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 242,000 by gel filtration. Cross-linking of aspartokinase with dimethyl suberimidate and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the amidinated enzyme in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate showed the enzyme to be composed of six identical subunits with a molecular wieght of 40,000. The optimal pH range for enzyme activity was 6.5 to 8.5. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constants for aspartate and ATP were 5.5 and 2.2 mM, respectively. The enzyme was stable within the temperature range of 10 to 35 degrees C. Aspartokinase was not feedback inhibited by individual amino acids, but was concertedly inhibited by L-lysine and L-threonine (93.5% inhibition at 10 mM each). The inhibition was noncompetitive with respect to aspartate (Ki = 10 mM) and mixed with respect to ATP. L-Threonine methyl ester and L-threonine amide were able to substitute for L-threonine in feedback inhibition, but the requirement for L-lysine uas strict. The feedback inhibitor pair protected the enzyme against heat denaturation. Aspartokinase synthesis was repressed by L-threonine; this repression was enhanced by L-lysine, but was slightly attenuated by L-methionine. 相似文献
