The major secreted isoenzyme of human prostatic acid phosphatase (PAcP) (EC 3.1.3.2), which catalyses p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) hydrolysis at acid pH values, was found to have phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase activity since it dephosphorylated three different phosphotyrosine-containing protein substrates. Several lines of evidence are presented to show that the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase and PAcP are the same enzyme. A highly purified PAcP enzyme preparation which contains a single N-terminal peptide sequence was used to test for the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity. Both activities comigrated during gel filtration by high performance liquid chromatography. Phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity and PNPP acid phosphatase activity exhibited similar sensitivities to different effectors. Both phosphatase activities showed the same thermal stability. Specific anti-PAcP antibody reacted to the same extent with both phosphatase activities. PNPP acid phosphatase activity was competitively inhibited by the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase substrate. To characterize further the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity, the Km values using different phosphoprotein substrates were determined. The apparent Km values for phosphorylated angiotensin II, anti-pp60src immunoglobulin G and casein were in the nM range for phosphotyrosine residues, which was about 50-fold lower than the Km for phosphoserine residues in casein. 相似文献

The kinetics of sodium gradient dependent phosphate uptake by the renal brush border membrane vesicles of the rat have ben studied under various conditions of temperature and pH. From 7 to 30 degrees C the Lineweaver-Burk plots are linear, and the apparent Km progressively increases from 54 to 91 microM. Above 30 degrees C, the apparent Km continues to increase to reach 135 microM at 40 degrees C, but a break is observed in the Lineweaver-Burk plots at the substrate concentration of 300 microM. The existence of this break, confirmed by the Eadie-Hofstee plot supports the hypothesis of a dual mechanism of phosphate transport, one for low concentrations of substrate with a Km of 100 microM and the other for high concentrations with a Km of approximately 240 microM. When the two components of the Eadie-Hofstee plot are analyzed according to a nonlinear regression program, these two values of Km become 70 microM and 1.18 mM, respectively. The Vmax continuously increases with temperature. However, the Arrhenius plot (In Vmax vs. 1/TK) shows an abrupt discontinuity at 23 degrees C. pH experiments were performed at 35 degrees C. In the absence of a proton gradient, increasing the pH from 6.5 to 7.5 and 8.5 decreases the apparent Km from 341 to 167 and 94 microM, respectively. When only the divalent form of phosphate is considered as the substrate, the apparent Km does not vary anymore with the pH and remains around the mean value of 105 microM. The uniformity of the apparent Km for the total phosphate uptake, when only the divalent phosphate is considered as being the substrate, suggests that this divalent form is the only one which is transported. Whatever the substrate considered, total phosphate or divalent phosphate, the highest Vmax is obtained at pH 7.5 which probably approximates the optimum pH inside the vesicles for the phosphate uptake. 相似文献

A kinetic analysis of the interaction of human myeloperoxidase with hydrogen peroxide, chloride ions, and protons 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effect of H2O2, Cl-, and pH on human myeloperoxidase activity has been examined. The Km for H2O2 is shown to be affected by the combined presence of Cl- and acid pH conditions. The Km for H2O2 is independent of pH in the absence of Cl- and dependent on pH in the presence of Cl-. Conversely, the dependence of the Km for H2O2 on Cl- concentration increases as the pH decreases. A model is proposed in which Cl- has a dual role, acting both as a substrate and as an inhibitor. According to this model, the inhibitor Cl- binding site must be protonated prior to the binding of Cl- and is distinct from the substrate Cl- binding site which is unaffected by pH. The rate equation derived from this model is used to further analyze the data presented. The values of Km for H2O2 predicted by the rate equation are in good agreement with the experimentally determined values. 相似文献

The kinetic properties of myo-inositol monophosphatase with different substrates were examined with respect to inhibition by fluoride, activation or inhibition by metal ions, pH profiles, and solvent isotope effects. F- is a competitive inhibitor versus 2'-AMP and glycerol 2-phosphate, but noncompetitive (Kis = Kii) versus DL-inositol 1-phosphate, all with Ki values of approximately 45 microM. Activation by Mg2+ follows sigmoid kinetics with Hill constants around 1.9, and random binding of substrate and metal ion. At high concentrations, Mg2+ acts as an uncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 4.0 mM with DL-inositol 1-phosphate at pH 8.0 and 37 degrees C). Activation and inhibition constants, and consequently the optimal concentration of Mg2+, vary considerably with substrate structure and pH. Uncompetitive inhibition by Li+ and Mg2+ is mutually exclusive, suggesting a common binding site. Lithium binding decreases at low pH with a pK value of 6.4, and at high pH with a pK of 8.9, whereas magnesium inhibition depends on deprotonation with a pK of 8.3. The pH dependence of V suggests that two groups with pK values around 6.5 have to be deprotonated for catalysis. Solvent isotope effects on V and V/Km are greater than 2 and 1, respectively, regardless of the substrate, and proton inventories are linear. These results are consistent with a model where low concentrations of Mg2+ activate the enzyme by stabilizing the pentacoordinate phosphate intermediate. Li+ as well as Mg2+ at inhibiting concentrations bind to an additional site in the enzyme-substrate complex. Hydrolysis of the phosphate ester is rate limiting and facilitated by acid-base catalysis. 相似文献

The substrate specificities of an acidic amino acid-specific endopeptidase of Streptomyces griseus, GluSGP, and protease V8 [EC 3.4.21.19] were investigated with peptide p-nitroanilide substrates which have a Glu residue at the P1 position. GluSGP and protease V8 favored Pro and Leu residues at S2, respectively, while the S3 subsite of GluSGP preferred Phe over either Ala or Leu. The S3 subsite of protease V8 preferred Leu over either Ala or Phe. The best substrates for GluSGP and for protease V8 were Boc-Ala-Phe-Pro-Glu-pNA with a Km value of 0.41 mM (0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.8) and Boc-Ala-Leu-Leu-Glu-pNA with a Km value of 0.25 mM (0.1 M phosphate, pH 7.8), respectively. The kcat/Km values for these substrates obtained with GluSGP were about one hundred to twenty thousand times larger than those obtained with protease V8. Protease V8 exhibited a single optimal pH of around 8 for the hydrolysis of Boc-Ala-Ala-Leu-Glu-pNA and Boc-Ala-Leu-Leu-Asp-pNA. 相似文献

We have studied factors affecting the catalytic activity of dihydroorotase (EC 3.5.2.3), purified as part of a multienzymatic protein which contains carbamyl phosphate synthetase, aspartate transcarbamylase, and dihydroorotase (ME pyr1-3) and which initiates de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis in mouse Ehrlich ascites carcinoma. The apparent Km value for N-carbamyl-L-aspartate increases by 2 orders of magnitude as the pH increases from 7.0 to 8.3, consistent with equilibration of dihydroorotase (E) between four states of protonation (E in equilibrium EH in equilibrium EH2 equilibrium EH3), where EH3 is the only catalytically active form of dihydroorotase for the biosynthetic reaction, having a Km for N-carbamyl-L-aspartate of 30 micro M. The apparent Km for L-dihydroorotate shows a converse dependence upon pH, remaining relatively constant at alkaline pH and increasing progressively as the pH is decreased below 7.0. These data are consistent with the above model if E and EH are catalytically active for the degradative reaction, both having Km values of 4.4 micro M for L-5,6-dihydroorotate. The D isomers of carbamylaspartate and dihydroorotate are also substrates for dihydroorotase. At pH 7.33, the apparent Km values for N-carbamyl-L-aspartate and N-carbamyl-D-aspartate are 247 and 204 micro M, respectively, but the Vmax for N-carbamyl-D-aspartate is only 1.7% of that obtained with N-carbamyl-L-aspartate. Orotate and a series of 5-substituted derivatives are competitive inhibitors of dihydroorotase. At pH 7.27, the apparent Ki for orotate using N-carbamyl-L-aspartate as substrate is 170 micro M and with L-5,6-dihydroorotate as substrate, the apparent Ki value is 9.6 micro M, suggesting that the enzyme exists in different forms in the presence of each substrate. Dihydroorotase is inhibited in a time-dependent manner by 50 mM L-cysteine and the presence of N-carbamyl-L-aspartate or L-5,6-dihydroorotate protects against this ultimately complete inactivation. 2-Mercaptoacetate, 2-mercaptoethylamine, 3-mercaptopropionate, and L-2,3-diaminopropionate have a similar although less potent inhibitory effect. To account for the data obtained, we propose a model for the equilibria existing between various protonated forms of dihydroorotase which is consistent with the pH dependencies of the apparent Km values observed and the Vmax values observed previously (Christopherson, R.I., and Jones, M.E. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 12506-12512). In addition, a catalytic mechanism is presented for the interconversion of N-carbamyl-L-aspartate and L-5,6-dihydroorotate. 相似文献

pH-dependence of the ATP-driven uptake of noradrenaline by bovine chromaffin-granule ghosts 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The kinetic parameters of noradrenaline uptake by chromaffin granule ghosts have been measured at external pH values between 6.5 and 8.5. The log of the Km for noradrenaline decreased linearly with pH with a slope of -1.0, indicating that the observed affinity increase of originated in deprotonation of a single chemical group. This result is interpreted as showing that the neutral form of monoamines is the true substrate for the amine carrier. The Km of the carrier for the neutral form of noradrenaline was calculated as 0.1 microM. The maximal velocity, V, of the uptake reaction was constant from pH 6.5 to 8.0 and decreased at more alkaline pH values. Since the proton electrochemical gradient delta muH+ generated by the membrane H+-pump was independent of the pH in the range 6.5-9.5, the pH dependence of the maximal velocity of uptake reflects the pH profile of the monoamine transporter. 相似文献

Mechanistic studies on thrombin catalysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kinetic mechanism of the cleavage of four p-nitroanilide (pNA) substrates by human alpha-thrombin has been investigated by using a number of steady-state kinetic techniques. Solvent isotope and viscosity effects were used to determine the stickiness of the substrates at the pH optimum of the reaction; a sticky substrate is defined as one that undergoes catalysis faster than it dissociates from the Michaelis complex. Whereas benzoyl-Arg-pNA could be classified as a nonsticky substrate, D-Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-pNA was very sticky. The other two substrates (tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA and acetyl-D-Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-pNA) were slightly sticky. The pH profiles of kcat/Km were bell-shaped for all substrates. The pKa values determined from the pH dependence of kcat/Km for benzoyl-Arg-pNA were about 7.5 and 9.1. Similar pKa values were determined from the pH profiles of kcat/Km for tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA and acetyl-D-Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-pNA and for the binding of the competitive inhibitor N alpha-dansyl-L-arginine-4-methylpiperidine amide. The groups responsible for the observed pKa values were proposed to be His57 and the alpha-amino group of Ile16. The temperature dependence of the pKa values was consistent with this assignment. The pKa values of 6.7 and 8.6 observed in the pH profile of kcat/Km for D-Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-pNA were displaced to lower values than those observed for the other substrates. The displacement of the acidic pKa value could be attributed to the stickiness of this substrate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The chemical and kinetic mechanisms of the reaction catalyzed by the catalytic trimer of aspartate transcarbamoylase have been examined. The variation of the kinetic parameters with pH indicated that at least four ionizing amino acid residues are involved in substrate binding and catalysis. The pH dependence of K(ia) for carbamoyl phosphate and the K(i) for N-(phosphonoacetyl)-L- aspartate revealed that a protonated residue with a pK value of 9.0 is required for the binding of carbamoyl phosphate. However, the variation with pH of K(i) for succinate, a competitive inhibitor of aspartate, and for cysteine sulfinate, a slow substrate, showed that a single residue with a pK value of 7.3 must be protonated for binding these analogues and, by inference, aspartate. The profile of log V against pH displayed a decrease in reaction rate at low and high pH, suggesting that two groups associated with the Michaelis complex, a deprotonated residue with a pK value of 7.2 and a protonated group with a pK value of 9.5, are involved in catalysis. By contrast, the catalytically productive form of the enzyme-carbamoyl phosphate complex, as illustrated in the bell-shaped pH dependence of log (V/K)(asp), is one in which a residue with a pK value of 7.0 must be protonated while a group with a pK value of 9.1 is deprotonated. This interpretation is supported by the results from the temperature dependence of the V and V/K profiles and from the pH dependence of pK(i) for the aspartate analogues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The kcat and Km values for the bovine heart low molecular weight phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase catalyzed hydrolysis of 16 aryl phosphate monoesters and of five alkyl phosphate monoesters having the structure Ar(CH2)nOPO3H2 (n = 1-5) were measured at pH 5.0 and 37 degrees C. With the exception of alpha-naphthyl phosphate and 2-chlorophenyl phosphate, which are subject to steric effects, the values of kcat are effectively constant for the aryl phosphate monoesters. This is consistent with the catalysis being nucleophilic in nature, with the existence of a common covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate, and with the breakdown of this intermediate being rate-limiting. In contrast, kcat for the alkyl phosphate monoesters is much smaller and the rate-limiting step for these substrates is interpreted to be the phosphorylation of the enzyme. A single linear correlation is observed for a plot of log (kcat/Km) vs leaving group pKa for both classes of substrates at pH 5.0: log (kcat/Km) = -0.28pKa + 6.88 (n = 19, r = 0.89), indicating a uniform catalytic mechanism for the phosphorylation event. The small change in effective charge (-0.28) on the departing oxygen of the substrate is similar to that observed in the specific acid catalyzed hydrolysis of monophosphate monoanions (-0.27) and is consistent with a strong electrophilic interaction of the enzyme with this oxygen atom in the transition state. The D2O solvent isotope effect and proton inventory experiments indicate that only one proton is "in flight" in the transition state of the phosphorylation process and that this proton transfer is responsible for the reduction of effective charge on the leaving oxygen. 相似文献

Enzymes catalyzing the synthesis and subsequent transformation of alpha-acetolactate (AcL)--acetolactate synthase (AcLS) and acetolactate decarboxylase (AcLDC)--were isolated and partially purified from the cells of lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis strain 4. The preparation of AcLS, purified 560-fold, had a specific activity of 358,300 U/mg protein (9% yield). The preparation of AcLDC, purified 4828-fold, had a specific activity of 140 U/mg protein (4.8% yield). The enzymes exhibited optimum activity at pH 6.5 and 6.0, respectively (medium, phosphate buffer). The values of apparent Km, determined for AcLS and AcLDC with pyruvate and AcL, respectively, were equal to 70 mM and 20 mM. AcLS appeared as an allosteric enzyme with low affinity for the substrate and a sigmoid dependence of the activity on the substrate concentration. In the case of AcLDC, this dependence was hyperbolic, and the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate was high (Km = 20 mM). Leucine, valine, and isoleucine were shown to be activators of AcDLC. 相似文献

Human liver acid phosphatases. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Human liver contains three chromatographically distinct forms of non-specific acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). Acid phosphatases I, II and III have molecular weights of greater than 200 000, of 107 000, and of 13 400, respectively. Following partial purification, isoenzyme II was obtained as a single activity band, as assessed by activity staining with p-nitrophenyl phosphate and alpha-naphthyl phosphate on polyacrylamide gels run at several pH values. With 50mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate as a substrate, enzymes II and III exhibit plateaus of activity over the pH range 3 - 5 and 3.5 - 6, respectively.Acid phosphatase II is not significantly inhibited by 0.5% formaldehyde. The activity of human liver acid phosphatase II and of human prostatic acid phosphatase towards several substrates is compared. The liver enzyme, is marked contrast to the prostatic enzyme, does not hydrolyze O-phosphoryl choline. 相似文献

The detailed pH and temperature kinetics of human term placenta cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.16) were studied. The ATP-PPi exchange reaction catalyzed by the cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase was highly dependent on temperature, pH, and ionic strength. The Arrhenius plot at temperatures between 5 degrees and 40 degrees was linear, giving an activation energy of 19 +/- 2.5 Kcal/mol. The pH dependence of the kinetic parameters Km and Vmax was investigated. Apparent pKa value of 6.4 was observed in the pH-dependence of Vmax/Km plot. The pH versus Vmax plot showed two apparent pKa values of about 5.8 and 7.8. Van't Hoff's enthalpies were used to differentiate the nature of the possible groups responsible for the ionization. These results are valuable for the selection of chemical modifying reagents in characterizing the amino acid residues involved in substrate (nucleotide) binding or catalysis. 相似文献

Studies of the mechanism of glutamine synthetase utilizing pH-dependent behavior in catalysis and binding 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The pKa values of enzyme groups of Escherichia coli glutamine synthetase which affect catalysis and/or substrate binding were determined by measuring the pH dependence of Vmax and V/K. Analysis of these data revealed that two enzyme groups are required for catalysis with apparent pKa values of approximately 7.1 and 8.2. The binding of ATP is essentially independent of pH in the range studied while the substrate ammonia must be deprotonated for the catalytic reaction. Using methylamine and hydroxylamine in place of ammonia, the pKa value of the deprotonated amine substrate as expressed in the V/K profiles was shifted to a lower pKa value for hydroxylamine and a higher pKa value for methylamine. These data indicate that the amine substrate must be deprotonated for binding. Hydroxylamine is at least as good a substrate as ammonia judged by the kinetic parameters whereas methylamine is a poor substrate as expressed in both the V and V/K values. Glutamate binding was determined by monitoring fluorescence changes of the enzyme and the data indicate that a protonated residue (pKa = 8.3 +/- 0.2) is required for glutamate binding. Chemical modification by reductive methylation with HCHO indicated that the group involved in glutamate binding most likely is a lysine residue. In addition, the Ki value for the transition state analog, L-3-amino-3-carboxy-propanesulfonamide was measured as a function of pH and the results indicate that an enzyme residue must be protonated (pKa = 8.2 +/- 0.1) to assist in binding. A mechanism for the reaction catalyzed by glutamine synthetase is proposed from the kinetic data acquired herein. A salt bridge is formed between the gamma-phosphate group of ATP and an enzyme group prior to attack by the gamma-carboxyl of glutamate on ATP to form gamma-glutamyl phosphate. The amine substrate subsequently attacks gamma-glutamyl phosphate resulting in formation of the tetrahedral adduct before phosphate release. A base on the enzyme assists in the deprotonation of ammonia during its attack on gamma-glutamyl phosphate or after the protonated carbinol amine is formed. Based on the kinetic data with the three amine substrates, catalysis is not rate-limiting through the pH range 6-9. 相似文献

The pH dependence of the cardiac sarcolemmal Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase: evidence that the Ca2+ translocator bears a doubly negative charge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The pH dependence of the Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase of bovine cardiac sarcolemma was determined in a membrane vesicle preparation. The maximal velocity (Vmax) at saturating external Ca2+ showed a sigmoidal pH dependence with maximal values in the 6.0-6.5 range, a half-maximal value at 7.2 and minimal (less than or equal to 15%) values at pH greater than or equal to 8.0. The apparent affinity for Ca2+ (1/Km) varied over 10(4)-fold for 6.0 less than or equal to pH less than or equal to 8.5, increasing with increasing pH. Plots of log(1/Km) vs. pH were biphasic. In the acid range (6.0 less than or equal to pH less than or equal to 7.2), a slope of 2.6 was observed for the calmodulin-activated form of the pump. For 7.2 less than or equal to pH less than or equal to 8.5, a slope of 0.5 was observed. At pH 7.4, the Km is approx. 48 +/- 19 nM. The Ca2+ pump of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in the same preparation had a Km of 304 +/- 115 nM and showed a similar pH dependence except that the slope in the acid range was 1.7. When calmodulin was removed from the sarcolemmal pump, its Km was raised to approx. 1.0 microM, the slope in the acid range was reduced to 1.7 and the Vmax was markedly reduced. The results are explicable in terms of a model in which each of the two Ca2+ binding sites on the pump contains two buried COO- groups responsible for high affinity. The Km effect is explained by 2 H+ vs. 1 Ca2+ competition for occupation of each of the two cytoplasmically-oriented translocators (4 H+ vs. 2 Ca2+). The Vmax effect is explained by counter-transport of H+. The findings are considered in terms of the published amino acid sequence of the cardiac sarcolemmal pump and recent site-directed mutagenesis vs. function studies identifying the Ca2+ binding site in the skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum pump. The kinetic data are also applied to pump behavior under conditions of ischemia and acidosis. 相似文献

The enzyme mechanism of sialidase from influenza virus has been investigated by kinetic isotope methods, NMR, and a molecular dynamics simulation of the enzyme-substrate complex. Comparison of the reaction rates obtained with the synthetic substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-alpha-D-neuraminic acid and the [3,3-2H]-substituted substrate revealed beta-deuterium isotope effects for V/Km ranging over 1.09-1.15 in the pH range 6.0-9.5, whereas the effects observed for V in this pH range increased from 0.979 to 1.07. In D2O, beta DV/Km was slightly increased by 2% and 5% at pD 6.0 and 9.5 respectively, while beta DV was unchanged. Solvent isotope effects of 1.74 were obtained for both beta DV/Km and beta DV at pD 9.5, with beta DV/Km decreasing and beta DV remaining constant at acidic pD. 1H-NMR experiments confirmed that the initial product of the reaction is the alpha-anomer of N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid. Molecular dynamics studies identified a water molecule in the crystal structure of the sialidase-N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid complex which is hydrogen-bonded to Asp151 and is available to act as a proton donor source in the enzyme reaction. The results of this study lead us to propose a mechanism for the solvent-mediated hydrolysis of substrate by sialidase that requires the formation of an endocyclic sialosyl cation transition-state intermediate. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from beef heart and from Dictyostelium discoideum 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
P J Van Haastert P A Dijkgraaf T M Konijn E G Abbad G Petridis B Jastorff 《European journal of biochemistry》1983,131(3):659-666
The substrate specificity of beef heart phosphodiesterase activity and of the phosphodiesterase activity at the cell surface of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum has been investigated by measuring the apparent Km and maximal velocity (V) of 24 derivatives of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). Several analogs have increased Km values, but unaltered V values if compared to cAMP; also the contrary (unaltered Km and reduced V) has been observed, indicating that binding of the substrate to the enzyme and ring opening are two separate steps in the hydrolysis of cAMP. cAMP is bound to the beef heart phosphodiesterase by dipole-induced dipole interactions between the adenine moiety and an aromatic amino acid, and possibly by a hydrogen bond between the enzyme and one of the exocyclic oxygen atoms; a cyclic phosphate ring is not required to obtain binding. cAMP is bound to the slime mold enzyme via a hydrogen bond at the 3'-oxygen atom, and probably via a hydrogen bond with one of the exocyclic oxygen atoms. A cyclic phosphate ring is necessary to obtain binding to the enzyme. A specific interaction (polar or hydrophobic) between the base moiety and the enzyme has not been demonstrated. A negative charge on the phosphate moiety is not required for binding of cAMP to either enzyme. The catalytic reaction in both enzymes is restricted to the phosphorus atom and to the exocyclic oxygen atoms. Substitution of the negatively charged oxygen atom by an uncharged dimethylamino group in axial or equatorial position renders the compound non-hydrolyzable. Substitution of an exocyclic oxygen by a sulphur atom reduces the rate of the catalytic reaction about 100-fold if sulphur is placed in axial position and more than 10000-fold if sulphur is placed in equatorial position. A reaction mechanism for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cAMP is proposed. 相似文献

The mechanism and substrate specificity of the phosphotriesterase from Pseudomonas diminuta have been examined. The enzyme hydrolyzes a large number of phosphotriester substrates in addition to paraoxon (diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate) and its thiophosphate analogue, parathion. The two ethyl groups in paraoxon can be changed to propyl and butyl groups, but the maximal velocity and Km values decrease substantially. The enzyme will not hydrolyze phosphomonoesters or -diesters. There is a linear correlation between enzymatic activity and the pKa of the phenolic leaving group for 16 paraoxon analogues. The beta value in the corresponding Br?nsted plot is -0.8. No effect on either Vmax or Vmax/Km is observed when sucrose is used to increase the relative solvent viscosity by 3-fold. These results are consistent with rate-limiting phosphorus-oxygen bond cleavage. A plot of log V versus pH for the hydrolysis of paraoxon shows one enzymatic group that must be unprotonated for activity with a pKa of 6.1. The deuterium isotope effect by D2O on Vmax and Vmax/Km is 2.4 and 1.2, respectively, and the proton inventory is linear, which indicates that only one proton is "in flight" during the transition state. The inhibition patterns by the products are consistent with a random kinetic mechanism. 相似文献

The solvent kinetic isotope effects (SKIE's) on k(cat) (D(V)) and on k(cat/Km[D(V/K)] were determined for the Bacillus cereus beta-lactamase I catalyzed hydrolysis of five substrates that have values of k(cat)/K(m) varying over the range (0.014-46.3) X 10(6)M(-1) s(-1) and of k(cat) between 0.5 and 2019 s(-1). The variation of D(V/K) was only from 1.06 to 1.25 among these compounds and that in D(V) was from 1.50 to 2.16. These results require that Dk(1), the SKIE on the enzyme-substrate association rate constant, and D(k-1/k2), that on the partition ratio of the ES complex, both be near 1. The larger SKIE observed on D(V) requires that an exchangeable proton be in flight for either or both the acylation and the deacylation reaction. The pH dependence of the values k(cat)/K(m) for three substrates shows identical pK(a)s of 5.5. and 8.4. This identity combined with the fact that only one of these three substrates is kinetically "sticky" proves that the substrates can combine productively with only one protonic form of the enzyme. There is considerable substrate variation in the pK(a) values of k(cat) observed vs. pH profiles; the inflection points for all substrates studied are at pH values more extreme than are observed in the pH profiles for k(cat)/K(m). 相似文献

Two enzymes which transaminate tyrosine and phenylalanine in Bacillus subtilis were each purified over 200-fold and partially characterized. One of the enzymes, termed histidinol phosphate aminotransferase, is also active with imidazole acetyl phosphate as the amino group recipient. Previous studies have shown that mutants lacking this enzyme require histidine for growth. Mutants in the other enzyme termed aromatic aminotransferase are prototrophs. Neither enzyme is active on any other substrate involved in amino acid synthesis. The two enzymes can be distinguished by a number of criteria. Gel filtration analysis indicate the aromatic and histidinol phosphate aminotransferases have molecular weights of 63,500 and 33,000, respectively. Histidinol phosphate aminotransferase is heat-sensitive, whereas aromatic aminotransferase is relatively heat-stable, particularly in the presence of alpha-ketoglutarate. Both enzymes display typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics in their rates of reaction. The two enzymes have similar pH optima and employ a ping-pong mechanism of action. The Km values for various substrates suggest that histidinol phosphate aminotransferase is the predominant enzyme responsible for the transamaination reactions in the synthesis of tyrosine and phenylalanine. This enzyme has a 4-fold higher affinity for tyrosine and phenylalanine than does the aromatic aminotransferase. Competitive substrate inhibition was observed between tyrosine, phenylalanine, and histidinol phosphate for histidinol phosphate aminotransferase. The significance of the fact that an enzyme of histidine synthesis plays an important role in aromatic amino acid synthesis is discussed. 相似文献
