1. The effects of injecting nicotinamide, 5-methylnicotinamide, ethionine, nicotinamide+5-methylnicotinamide and nicotinamide+ethionine on concentrations in rat liver of NAD, NADP and ATP were investigated up to 5hr. after injection. 2. Nicotinamide induced three- to four-fold increases in hepatic NAD concentration even in the presence of 5-methylnicotinamide or ethionine, whereas 5-methylnicotinamide or ethionine alone did not cause marked changes in hepatic NAD concentration. 3. Nicotinamide alone also induced a twofold increase in hepatic NADP concentration. However, in the presence of 5-methylnicotinamide+nicotinamide, the NADP concentration decreased by 25% after 5hr., and in the presence of nicotinamide+ethionine by 30% in the same time. In the presence of 5-methylnicotinamide or ethionine alone hepatic NADP concentrations fell by 50% after 5hr. 4. 5-Methylnicotinamide inhibited the microsomal NAD(+) glycohydrolase (EC 3.2.2.6) by 60% at a concentration of 1mm and the NADP(+) glycohydrolase by 40% at the same concentration. 5. The rat liver NAD(+) kinase (EC 2.7.1.23) was found to have V(max.) 4.83mumoles/g. wet wt./hr. and K(m) (NAD(+)) 5.8mm. This enzyme was also inhibited by 5-methylnicotinamide in a ;mixed' fashion. 6. The results are discussed with respect to the control of NAD synthesis. It is suggested that in vivo the NAD(P)(+) glycohydrolases are effectively inactive and that the increased NAD concentrations induced by nicotinamide are due to increased substrate concentration available to both the nicotinamide and nicotinic acid pathways of NAD formation. 相似文献

gamma-Glutamyl phosphate reductase, the second enzyme of proline biosynthesis, catalyses the formation of l-glutamic acid 5-semialdehyde from gamma-glutamyl phosphate with NAD(P)H as cofactor. It was purified 150-fold from crude extracts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO 1 by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and hydroxyapatite adsorption chromatography. The partially purified preparation, when assayed in the reverse of the biosynthetic direction, utilized l-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid as substrate and reduced NAD(P)(+). The apparent K(m) values were: NAD(+), 0.36mm; NADP(+), 0.31mm; l-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid, 4mm with NADP(+) and 8mm with NAD(+); P(i), 28mm. 3-(Phosphonoacetylamido)-l-alanine, a structural analogue of gamma-glutamyl phosphate, inhibited this enzyme competitively (K(i)=7mm). 1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (EC 1.5.1.2), the third enzyme of proline biosynthesis, was purified 56-fold by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. It reduced l-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate with NAD(P)H as a cofactor to l-proline. NADH (K(m)=0.05mm) was a better substrate than NADPH (K(m)=0.02mm). The apparent K(m) values for l-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate were 0.12mm with NADPH and 0.09mm with NADH. The 3-acetylpyridine analogue of NAD(+) at 2mm caused 95% inhibition of the enzyme, which was also inhibited by thio-NAD(P)(+), heavy-metal ions and thiol-blocking reagents. In cells of strain PAO 1 grown on a proline-medium the activity of gamma-glutamyl kinase and gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase was about 40% lower than in cells grown on a glutamate medium. No repressive effect of proline on 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase was observed. 相似文献

d-Glucose-6-phosphate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.49) from Bacillus licheniformis has been purified approximately 600-fold. The enzyme appears to be constitutive and exhibits activity with either oxidized NAD (NAD(+)) or oxidized NADP (NADP(+)) as electron acceptor. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 9.0 and has an absolute requirement for cations, either monovalent or divalent. The enzyme exhibits a K(m) of approximately 5 muM for NADP(+), 3 mM for NAD(+), and 0.2 mM for glucose-6-phosphate. Reduced NADP (NADPH) is a competitive inhibitor with respect to NADP(+) (K(m) = 10 muM). Phosphoenolpyruvate (K(m) = 1.6 mM), adenosine 5'-triphosphate (K(m) = 0.5 mM), adenosine diphosphate (K(m) = 1.5 mM), and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (K(m) = 3.0 mM) are competitive inhibitors with respect to NAD(+). The molecular weight as estimated from sucrose density centrifugation and molecular sieve chromatography is 1.1 x 10(5). Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis indicates that the enzyme is composed of two similar subunits of approximately 6 x 10(4) molecular weight. The intracellular levels of glucose-6-phosphate, NAD(+), and NADP(+) were measured and found to be approximately 1 mM, 0.9 mM, and 0.2 mM, respectively, during logarithmic growth. From a consideration of the substrate pool sizes and types of inhibitors, we conclude that this single constitutive enzyme may function in two roles in the cell-NADH production for energetics and NADPH production for reductive biosynthesis. 相似文献

A method is described for the partial purification of pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii (ATCC 9104) cells. The most highly purified preparation catalyzes the reduction of 300 mumoles of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) per min per mg of protein under the assay conditions employed. The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of NAD(+), deamino-NAD(+), and thio-NAD(+) with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as hydrogen donor, and the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP(+)) and thio-NAD(+) with reduced NAD (NADH) as hydrogen donor. The reduction of acetylpyridine AD(+), pyridinealdehyde AD(+), acetylpyridine deamino AD(+), and pyridinealdehydedeamino AD(+) with NADPH as hydrogen donor was not catalyzed. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of hydrogen more readily from NADPH than from NADH with different hydrogen acceptors. The transfer of hydrogen from NADH to NADP(+) and thio-NAD(+) was markedly stimulated by 2'-adenosine monophosphate (2'-AMP) and inhibited by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and phosphate ions. The transfer of hydrogen from NADPH to NAD(+) was only slightly affected by phosphate ions and 2'-AMP, except at very high concentrations of the latter reagent. In addition, the transfer of hydrogen from NADPH to thio-NAD(+) was only slightly influenced by 2'-AMP, ADP, ATP, and other nucleotides. The kinetics of the transhydrogenase reactions which utilized thio-NAD(+) as hydrogen acceptor and NADH or NADPH as hydrogen donor were studied in some detail. The results suggest that there are distinct binding sites for NADH and NAD(+) and perhaps a third regulator site for NADP(+) or 2'-AMP. The heats of activation for the transhydrogenase reactions were determined. The properties of this enzyme are compared with those of other partially purified transhydrogenases with respect to the regulatory functions of 2'-AMP and other nucleotides on the direction of flow of hydrogen between NAD(+) and NADP(+). 相似文献

Bovine thyroid membranes possess both ADP ribosyltransferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities with the same Km values for NAD and the same pH optima. In intact membranes, the ADP ribosyltransferase is limited in its extent by the amount of available membrane acceptor which can be ADP-ribosylated; in membranes solubilized with lithium diiodosalicylate, an artificial acceptor, L-arginine methyl ester, can be substituted to eliminate this limitation. The product of the ADP ribosyltransferase is a mono-ADP-ribosylated acceptor whether the intact or solubilized membrane provides the enzyme activity and whether membrane or exogenous acceptor, L-arginine methyl ester, is utilized. The intact membranes and the solubilized preparation also have an enzyme activity which can release AMP from the mono-ADP-ribosylated acceptor whether formed by the action of the membrane ADP ribosyltransferase or the A promoter of cholera toxin. The NAD glycohydrolase activity appears to represent the half-reaction of the ADP ribosyltransferase, i.e. an activity measurable substituting water for a membrane acceptor or L-arginine methyl ester. Membranes from functional rat thyroid cells in culture, i.e. cells chronically stimulated by thyrotropin and unresponsive to further additions of thyrotropin, have low ADP-ribosylation but high NAD glycohydrolase activities. In contrast, membranes from nonfunctional rat thyroid cells, i.e. cells unresponsive to thyrotropin, have high ADP-ribosylation and low NAD glycohydrolase activities. NAD hydrolysis by the NAD glycohydrolase activity cannot account for the low ADP-ribosylation activity in membranes from the functioning cells, and its low level of ADP-ribosylation can be eliminated by solubilizing the membranes and substituting an artificial acceptor, L-arginine methyl ester. The ADP ribosyltransferase activity of rat thyroid cell membrane preparations can be enhanced by thyrotropin in a dose-dependent manner but not by insulin, glucagon, hydrocortisone, adrenocorticotropin, or its glycoprotein hormone analog, human chorionic gonadotropin. It is thus suggested (i) that, in analogy to cholera toxin, thyrotropin-stimulated ADP-ribosylation may be important in the regulation of the adenylate cyclase response and (ii) that the level of membrane acceptor available for ADP-ribosylation may relate both to a stable "'activated" state of the adenylate cyclase system in cells chronically stimulated with thyrotropin and/or to a desensitized state with regard to a failure of more thyrotropin to elicit additional functional responses. 相似文献

The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) has been suggested to play a key role in various forms of cell death, but direct evidence in intact tissues is still lacking. We found that in the rat heart, 92% of NAD(+) glycohydrolase activity is associated with mitochondria. This activity was not modified by the addition of Triton X-100, although it was abolished by mild treatment with the protease Nagarse, a condition that did not affect the energy-linked properties of mitochondria. The addition of Ca(2+) to isolated rat heart mitochondria resulted in a profound decrease in their NAD(+) content, which followed mitochondrial swelling. Cyclosporin A(CsA), a PTP inhibitor, completely prevented NAD(+) depletion but had no effect on the glycohydrolase activity. Thus, in isolated mitochondria PTP opening makes NAD(+) available for its enzymatic hydrolysis. Perfused rat hearts subjected to global ischemia for 30 min displayed a 30% decrease in tissue NAD(+) content, which was not modified by extending the duration of ischemia. Reperfusion resulted in a more severe reduction of both total and mitochondrial contents of NAD(+), which could be measured in the coronary effluent together with lactate dehydrogenase. The addition of 0.2 microm CsA or of its analogue MeVal-4-Cs (which does not inhibit calcineurin) maintained higher NAD(+) contents, especially in mitochondria, and significantly protected the heart from reperfusion damage, as shown by the reduction in lactate dehydrogenase release. Thus, upon reperfusion after prolonged ischemia, PTP opening in the heart can be documented as a CsA-sensitive release of NAD(+), which is then partly degraded by glycohydrolase and partly released when sarcolemmal integrity is compromised. These results demonstrate that PTP opening is a causative event in reperfusion damage of the heart. 相似文献

The distribution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) glycohydrolase in rat liver was investigated by subcellular fractionation and by isolation of hepatocytes and sinusoidal cells. The behavior of NAD glycohydrolase in subcellular fractionation was peculiar because, although the enzyme was mainly microsomal, plasma membrane preparations contained distinctly more NAD glycohydrolase than could be accounted for by their content in elements derived from the endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi complex identified by glucose-6-phosphatase and galactosyltransferase, respectively. When microsomal and plasmalemmal preparations were brought to equilibrium in a linear-density gradient, NAD glycohydrolase differed from these enzymes and behaved like 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I. NAD glycohydrolase was markedly displaced towards higher densities after treatment with digitonin. This behavior in density-gradient centrifugation strongly suggests that NAD glycohydrolase is an exclusive enzyme of the plasma membrane. NAD glycohydrolase differed clearly from other plasmalemmal enzymes when the liver was fractionated into hepatocytes and sinusoidal cells; its specific activity was considerably greater in sinusoidal cell than in hepatocyte preparations. Further subfractionation of sinusoidal cell preparations into endothelial and Kupffer cells by counterflow elutriation showed that NAD glycohydrolase is more active in Kupffer cells. We estimate that the specific activity of NAD glycohydrolase activity is at least 65-fold higher at the periphery of Kupffer cells than at the periphery of hepatocytes. As the enzyme shows not structure-linked latency and is an exclusive constituent of the plasma membranes, we conclude that it is an ectoenzyme that cannot lead to a rapid turnover of the cytosolic pyridine nucleotides. 相似文献

A high-pressure-liquid-chromatography (HPLC)-based technique was developed to assess the oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))-glycohydrolase activity of the catalytic domain of Pseudomonas exotoxin A containing a hexa-His tag. The assay employs reverse-phase chromatography to separate the substrate (NAD(+)) and products (adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose and nicotinamide) produced over the reaction time course, whereby the peak area of nicotinamide is correlated using a standard curve. This technique was used to determine whether the NAD(+) analogue, 2'-F-ribo-NAD(+), was a competing substrate or a competitive inhibitor for this toxin. This NAD(+) analogue was hydrolyzed at a rate of 0.2% that of NAD(+) yet retained the same binding affinity for the toxin as the parent compound. Finally, the rate that a fluorescent NAD(+) analogue, epsilon-NAD(+), is hydrolyzed by the toxin was also investigated. This analogue was hydrolyzed six times slower than NAD(+) as determined using HPLC. The rate of hydrolysis of epsilon-NAD(+) calculated using the fluorometric version of the assay shows a sixfold increase in reaction rate compared to that determined by HPLC. This HPLC-based assay is adaptable to any affinity-tagged enzyme that possesses NAD(+)-glycohydrolase activity and offers the advantage of directly measuring the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolytic rate of NAD(+) and its analogues. 相似文献

Extracts of Salmonella typhimurium were chromatographed by using Sephadex G-150 to separate the various enzymes involved with pyridine nucleotide cycle metabolism. This procedure revealed a previously unsuspected nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) glycohydrolase (EC 3.2.2.5) activity, which was not observed in crude extracts. In contrast to NAd glycohydrolase, NAD pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.22) was readily measured in crude extracts. This enzyme possessed a native molecular weight of 120,000. Other enzymes examined included nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) deamidase (EC 3.5.1.00), molecular weight of 43,000; NMN glycohydrolase (EC 3.2.2.14), molecular weight of 67,000; nicotinic acid phosphoribosyl transferase (EC 2.4.2.11), molecular weight of 47,000; and nicotinamide deamidase (EC 3.5.1.19), molecular weight of 35,000. NMN deamidase and NMN glycohydrolase activities were both examined for end product repression by measuring their activities in crude extracts prepared from cells grown with and without 10(-5) M nicotinic acid. No repression was observed with either activity. Both activities were also examined for feedback inhibition by NAD, reduced NAD, and NADP. NMN deamidase was unaffected by any of the compounds tested. NMN glycohydrolase was greatly inhibited by NAD and reduced NAD, whereas NADP was much less effective. Inhibition of NMN glycohydrolase was found to level off at an NAD concentration of ca. 1 mN, the approximate intracellular concentration of NAD. 相似文献

Modifications at the 2'-position of the nicotinamide-ribosyl moiety influence dramatically the nature of the interactions of the modified beta-NAD+ with calf spleen NAD+ glycohydrolase (EC 3.2.2.6), an enzyme that cleaves the nicotinamide-ribose bound in NAD(P)+. Nicotinamide arabinoside adenine dinucleotide (ara-NAD+) and nicotinamide 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinoside adenine dinucleotide (araF-NAD+) are not hydrolyzed at measurable rates and are the first documented examples of reversible slow binding inhibitors of this class of enzyme. The kinetic data obtained are consistent with both slow kon and koff rate constants in the formation of an enzyme-inhibitor complex, i.e. the association rate constants are about 10(4) and 10(6) slower than diffusion rates, respectively, for araF-NAD+ and ara-NAD+, and the half-life of the complex is about 3-10 min for both analogues. The kinetic model does not account for a slow turnover of an ADP-ribosyl-enzyme intermediary complex. AraF-NAD+ is one of the most potent inhibitors described for NAD+ glycohydrolase. 相似文献

Two new photoactive analogues of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) which are resistant to cleavage by NAD glycohydrolase were synthesized and characterized. The beta-D-ribonucleotide ring of the nicotinamide riboside moiety of NAD+ was replaced with a 2,3-dihydroxycyclopentane ring forming a carbocyclic dinucleotide analogue. Photoreactivity was achieved by the incorporation of an azido group at the 8-position of the adenosyl ring. The previously published synthesis of carbocyclic pyridine dinucleotide analogues [Slama, J. T., & Simmons, A. M. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 183] was modified by resolving the carbocyclic 1-aminoribose analogues and producing optically pure (+)-(1S)- or (-)-(1R)-4 beta-amino-2 alpha,3 alpha-dihydroxy-1 beta-cyclopentanemethanol. Each of these was converted to the corresponding carbocyclic nicotinamide 5'-nucleotide analogue and coupled with 8-azidoadenosine 5'-monophosphate. Two photoactive and isomeric NAD+ analogues were thus prepared. 8-Azidoadenosyl carba-NAD is the analogue in which D-dihydroxycyclopentane is substituted for the D-ribose of the nicotinamide nucleoside moiety. 8-Azido-adenosyl pseudocarba-NAD contains the L-carbocycle in place of the D-ribotide ring. 8-Azidoadenosyl carba-NAD was shown to inhibit the NAD glycohydrolase from Bungarus fasciatus venom competitively with an inhibitor dissociation constant of 187 microM. 8-Azidoadenosyl pseudocarba-NAD was shown to inhibit the same enzyme competitively with a Ki of 73 microM. The superior NADase inhibitor, 8-azidoadenosyl pseudocarba-NAD, was characterized kinetically and shown to fulfill the criteria required of a specific active site directed photoaffinity probe. Irradiation of mixtures of the photoprobe and NAD glycohydrolase with short-wave ultraviolet light resulted in the rapid and irreversible loss of enzyme activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

ADP-Ribosylation of Highly Purified Rat Brain Mitochondria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Highly purified synaptic and nonsynaptic mitochondria were prepared from rat brain, and their ADP-ribosyl transferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities were investigated. Data show that there is no significant difference in ADP-ribosyl transferase activity between these two types of subcellular preparations. However, NAD glycohydrolase activity appeared to be much higher in nonsynaptic mitochondria. The specific activity of both enzymes was investigated in the presence of the inhibitor nicotinamide or its analogue 3-aminobenzamide or other adenine nucleotides, such as ATP or ADP-ribose. The inhibitory effect of nicotinamide or 3-aminobenzamide on ADP-ribosyl transferase appears rather weak compared with their effect on NAD glycohydrolase activity. However, ADP-ribose and ATP appeared more effective in inhibiting ADP-ribosyl transferase. Our results provide evidence for the existence of ADP-ribosyl transferase activity in rat brain mitochondria. When NAD glycohydrolase was inhibited totally by nicotinamide, the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD to mitochondrial proteins still occurred. The chain length determinations show that the linkage of ADP-ribose to mitochondrial proteins is oligomeric. 相似文献

1. The inhibition of alkaline phosphatase by NAD(+), NADH, adenosine and nicotinamide was studied. 2. All of these substances except NAD(+) act as uncompetitive inhibitors, i.e. double-reciprocal plots are parallel. NAD(+), however, is a ;mixed' inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase and is less potent than NADH. 3. Inhibition studies with pairs of the inhibitors suggest that, in spite of the difference in type of inhibition, NAD(+) and NADH bind to alkaline phosphatase at a common site. Adenosine and nicotinamide also seem to bind at the NAD site and the binding of adenosine is facilitated by nicotinamide, and vice versa. 4. The facilitation may indicate the occurrence of an induced fit for NAD(+) and NADH. Attempts to desensitize alkaline phosphatase to NAD(+) and NADH inhibition by partial denaturation were unsuccessful. 5. The results are discussed in terms of a two-site model in which separate, but interacting, regions exist on the enzyme to accommodate the adenosine and nicotinamide moieties of NAD, and a single-site model in which the adenosine part of the molecule is bound preferentially and this interacts with the nicotinamide fraction. 6. The activity of alkaline phosphatase can be changed fourfold by alteration of the NAD(+)/NADH ratio. This sensitivity to the redox state of the coenzyme could be a means of controlling phosphatase activity. 相似文献

1. The activities of NMN adenylyltransferase and of NAD(+) kinase have been measured in the livers of adrenalectomized or alloxan-diabetic rats and in the livers of rats treated with glucagon, pituitary growth hormone or thyroxine. 2. The activities of these enzymes have been compared with the effects of the same treatments on the nicotinamide nucleotide concentrations in the liver. 3. Alloxandiabetes (+37%) and thyroxine (+27%) both increased the activity of NMN adenylyltransferase. The other treatments were without effect on this enzyme. 4. Only thyroxine increased the activity of NAD(+) kinase significantly (+26%) although both adrenalectomy and glucagon tended to increase its activity. 5. The activity of NAD(+) glycohydrolase was measured in the livers of diabetic rats, and in the livers of rats treated with either growth hormone or thyroxine. Of these treatments, only growth hormone altered the enzyme activity (+26%, calculated on a total hepatic activity basis). 6. Female rats had a greater hepatic NAD(+)-kinase activity than males but there was no sex difference with respect to NMN adenylyltransferase. 7. The lack of correlation between the maximum potential activity of these three enzymes and the known changes of the nicotinamide nucleotides in each of the hormone conditions is discussed. 相似文献

1. The disappearance of pyridine nucleotides during incubation with mosquito homogenates proceeds through the hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate linkage of these compounds as demonstrated by the formation of NMN and AMP from NAD(+). This reaction was also demonstrated by the loss in the coenzyme functioning property of NAD(+) (yeast alcohol dehydrogenase reaction) without a concomitant loss in reactivity towards cyanide. Transglycosidase activity was not observed in the mosquito homogenates, and low concentrations of nicotinamide did not inhibit the NAD(+) splitting activity of these homogenates. These observations are all in accord with the presence in these homogenates of a NAD(+) pyrophosphatase rather than a NADase. 2. The NAD(+) pyrophosphatase is destroyed by boiling, is not heat-activated, and has a pH optimum at pH8.75. In addition to NAD(+), other dinucleotides such as NADP(+), the 3-acetylpyridine and thionicotinamide analogues of NAD(+) and the thionicotinamide analogue of NADP(+), function as substrates in the hydrolysis catalysed by the pyrophosphatase. 3. A decrease in the specific activity of NAD(+) pyrophosphatase was observed during larval development, and a barely detectable activity was found in the pupa and adult. 4. Enzyme activity per organism increased in the larva but decreased to a very low value in the pupa and adult. These results indicate that the decrease in specific activity was due to a decrease in enzyme concentration rather than an increase in amounts of protein. 相似文献

An isothermal titration calorimetric study of the binding of substrates and inhibitors to different complexes of tartrate dehydrogenase (TDH) from Pseudomonas putida was carried out. TDH catalyzes the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of d-malate and has an absolute requirement for both a divalent and monovalent metal ion for activity. The ligands Mn(2+), meso-tartrate, oxalate, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) bound to all TDH complexes with a stoichiometry of 1 per enzyme dimer. The exception is NAD, which binds to E/K(+), E/K(+)/Mn(2+), and E/K(+)/Mg(2+) complexes with a stoichiometry of two per enzyme dimer. The binding studies suggest a half-of-the-sites mechanism for TDH. No significant heat changes were observed for d-malate in the presence of the E/K(+)/Mn(2+) complex, suggesting that it did not bind. In contrast, meso-tartrate does bind to E/K(+)/Mn(2+) but gives no significant heat change in the presence of E/Mn(2+), suggesting that K(+) is required for meso-tartrate binding. meso-Tartrate also binds with a large DeltaC(p) value and likely binds via a different binding mode than d-malate, which binds only in the presence of NAD. In contrast to all of the other ligands tested, the binding of Mn(2+) is entropically driven, likely the result of the entropically favored disruption of ordered water molecules coordinated to Mn(2+) in solution that are lost upon binding to the enzyme. Oxalate, a competitive inhibitor of malate, binds with the greatest affinity to E/K(+)/Mn(2+)/NADH, and its binding is associated with the uptake of a proton. Overall, with d-malate as the substrate, data are consistent with a random addition of K(+), Mn(2+), and NAD followed by the ordered addition of d-malate; there is significant synergism in the binding of NAD and K(+). Although the binding of meso-tartrate also requires enzyme-bound K(+) and Mn(2+), the binding of meso-tartrate and NAD is random. 相似文献

The subcellular distribution and properties of aldehyde dehydrogenases in rat liver 总被引:17,自引:8,他引:9
1. Kinetic experiments suggested the possible existence of at least two different NAD(+)-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenases in rat liver. Distribution studies showed that one enzyme, designated enzyme I, was exclusively localized in the mitochondria and that another enzyme, designated enzyme II, was localized in both the mitochondria and the microsomal fraction. 2. A NADP(+)-dependent enzyme was also found in the mitochondria and the microsomal fraction and it is suggested that this enzyme is identical with enzyme II. 3. The K(m) for acetaldehyde was apparently less than 10mum for enzyme I and 0.9-1.7mm for enzyme II. The K(m) for NAD(+) was similar for both enzymes (20-30mum). The K(m) for NADP(+) was 2-3mm and for acetaldehyde 0.5-0.7mm for the NADP(+)-dependent activity. 4. The NAD(+)-dependent enzymes show pH optima between 9 and 10. The highest activity was found in pyrophosphate buffer for both enzymes. In phosphate buffer there was a striking difference in activity between the two enzymes. Compared with the activity in pyrophosphate buffer, the activity of enzyme II was uninfluenced, whereas the activity of enzyme I was very low. 5. The results are compared with those of earlier investigations on the distribution of aldehyde dehydrogenase and with the results from purified enzymes from different sources. 相似文献

Summary NAD glycohydrolase activity was studied using bovine erythrocytes, erythrocyte ghosts and partially purified enzyme preparations. During catalysis the enzyme becomes irreversibly inactivated in a process related to substrate turnover. Self-inactivation was observed with intact cells, ghosts and solubilized enzyme and could be demonstrated with NAD, NADP and nicotinamide 1,N6 ethenoadenine dinucleotide as substrates. Thionicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and NADH, which are not substrates for the enzyme, do not inactivate but are reversible substrate-competitive inhibitors. Added thiols had no effect on enzyme self-inactivation. Of the reaction products, added nicotinamide partially protected the enzyme while added ADPR had no effect. Thermodynamic parameters calculated from Arrhenius plots for rate constants of self-inactivation indicate a large negative S for transition state formation suggesting a process other than extensive denaturation. Erythrocyte ghost NADases from several other mammalian sources have been demonstrated to undergo a self-inactivation similar to that observed with the bovine enzyme.This work was supported by Research Grant PCM 76-05839 from the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

ADP-ribosyl cyclases are structurally conserved enzymes that are best known for catalyzing the production of the calcium-mobilizing metabolite, cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR), from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)). However, these enzymes also produce adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP(+)), both of which have been shown to modulate calcium mobilization in vitro. We have now characterized a new member of the cyclase family from Schistosoma mansoni, a member of the Platyhelminthes phylum. We show that the novel NAD(P)(+) catabolizing enzyme (NACE) expressed by schistosomes is structurally most closely related to the cyclases cloned from Aplysia but also shows significant homology with the mammalian cyclases, CD38 and CD157. NACE expression is developmentally regulated in schistosomes, and the GPI-anchored protein is localized to the outer tegument of the adult schistosome. Importantly, NACE, like all members of the cyclase family, is a multifunctional enzyme and catalyzes NAD(+) glycohydrolase and base-exchange reactions to produce ADPR and NAADP(+). However, despite being competent to generate a cyclic product from NGD(+), a nonphysiologic surrogate substrate, NACE is so far the only enzyme in the cyclase family that is unable to produce significant amounts of cADPR (<0.02% of reaction products) using NAD(+) as the substrate. This suggests that the other calcium-mobilizing metabolites produced by NACE may be more important for calcium signaling in schistosomes. Alternatively, the function of NACE may be to catabolize extracellular NAD(+) to prevent its use by host enzymes that utilize this source of NAD(+) to facilitate immune responses. 相似文献
