The crystalline mung bean nucleotide pyrophosphatase was inhibited nonlinearly by AMP, one of the products of the reaction. The partially inactive enzyme was specifically reactivated by ADP, and V at maximal activation was the same as that of the native enzyme. ATP was a linear, noncompetitive inhibitor. The kinetic evidence suggested that ADP and ATP might not be reacting at the same site as AMP. The electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme was increased by AMP, whereas ADP and ATP were without effect.The enzyme was denatured on treatment with urea or guanidine hydrochloride. The renatured and the native enzyme had the same pH (9.4) and temperature (49 °C) optimum. The Km (0.2 mm) and V (3.2) of the native enzyme increased on renaturation to 1.8 mm and 8.0, respectively. In addition, renaturation resulted in desensitization of the enzyme to inhibition by low concentrations of AMP. Renaturation did not affect the reactivation of the apoenzyme by Zn2+.  相似文献

The addition of AMP to the crystalline and homogeneous mung bean nucleotide pyrophosphatase [EC 3.6.1.9]altered its electrophoretic mobility. AMP was tightly bound to the enzyme and was not removed on passage through a column of Sephadex G-25 or on electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the native and AMP-modified enzymes were 65,000 and 136,000, respectively. The properties of the native enzyme such as the pH (9.4) and temperature (49 °C) optima, inhibition by EDTA, reversal of EDTA-inhibition by Zn2+ and Co2+, were not altered on dimerization by AMP. The AMP-modified enzyme had a linear time-course of reaction, unlike the native enzyme which exhibited a biphasic time-course of reaction. The AMP-modified enzyme was irreversibly denatured by urea. AMP concentrations larger than 100 μM inhibited linearly the activity of the AMP-modified enzyme. ADP and ATP inhibited the activity in a sigmoidal manner. Km and V of the native and AMP-modified enzymes were, 0.25 mm and 0.58 mm; and 3.3 and 2.5, respectively.  相似文献

Nucleotide pyrophosphatase of mung bean seedlings has earlier been isolated in our laboratory in a dimeric form (Mr 65,000) and has been shown to be converted to a tetramer by AMP and to a monomer by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. All the molecular forms were enzymatically active with different kinetic properties. By a modified procedure using blue-Sepharose affinity chromatography, we have now obtained a dimeric form of the enzyme which is desensitized to AMP interaction. The molecular weight of the desensitized form of the enzyme was found to be the same as that of the native dimeric enzyme. However, the desensitized enzyme functioned with a linear time course, contrary to the biphasic time course exhibited by the native enzyme. In addition, it was not converted to a tetramer on the addition of AMP, had only one binding site for adenine nucleotides, and p-hydroxy-mercuribenzoate had no effect on the time course of the reaction or on the molecular weight of the enzyme. The temperature optimum of the desensitized enzyme was found to be 67 °C in contrast to the optimum of 49 °C for the native dimer. Fifty percent of the tryptophan residues of the desensitized enzyme were not accessible for quenching by iodide. Fluorescence studies gave Kd values of 0.34, 2.2, and 0.8 mm for AMP, ADP, and ATP, which were close to the Ki values of 0.12, 2.2, and 0.9 mm, respectively, for these nucleotides. The binding and inhibition studies with AMP and its analogs showed that the 6-amino group and the 5′-phosphate group were essential for the inhibition of the enzyme activity.  相似文献

The topography and oligomeric structure of the vacuolar membrane-bound inorganic pyrophosphatase (73,000 daltons) of mung bean were studied. When the vacuolar membranes were treated with thiocyanate or sodium carbonate which are known to remove the peripheral membrane proteins, the enzyme could not be detected in the solubilized fraction by the specific antibody. The apparent molecular size of the enzyme was estimated to be about 480 kDa by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of Triton X-100. Crosslinking treatment of the pyrophosphatase with dimethyl suberimidate produced a complex corresponding to the dimer. The rate of PPi hydrolysis showed a sigmoidal relationship to substrate concentration with a Hill coefficient of 2.5. These results suggest that the vacuolar pyrophosphatase is an integral membrane protein and functions as an oligomer, probably a dimer.  相似文献

Vacuolar membrane H+-translocating pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase) was purified from pumpkin seedlings. Its enzymatic properties including molecular size of constituting polypeptide (75 kDa) were very similar to those of mung bean H+-PPase [(1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 20068–20073]. The native, functional molecular size of the pumpkin H+-PPase was estimated to be 135–139 kDa from gel permeation HPLC of the purified enzyme in the presence of detergent and from radiation inactivation of the enzyme in vacuolar membranes. It is concluded that native, functional pumpkin H+-PPase, and also probably H+-PPases from other plants, is a dimer of 75 kDa subunits.  相似文献

Glutamine synthetase (L-glutamate : ammonia ligase, EC 6.3.1.2) fromPhaseolus aureus (mung bean) seedlings was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration and affinity chromatography on histidine-Sepharose. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 775,000 ± 25,000. The enzyme consisted of identical subunits with an approximate subunit molecular weight of 50,000. Hyperbolic saturation curves were obtained with the substrates, glutamate, ATP and hydroxylamine. Antibody, raised in the rabbit, against mung bean glutamine synthetase, completely inhibited the activity of the enzyme. Preincubation of the enzyme with glutamate and ATP, prior to the addition of the antibody, partially protected the enzyme against inhibition. TheK m values of this enzyme-antibody complex and the native enzyme were identical (glutamate, 2.5mM; ATP, 1 mM; hydroxylamine, 0.5 mM). The Km values of the partially inhibited enzyme (the enzyme pretreated with antibody prior to the addition of substrates) were 2-fold higher than those of the native enzyme. These results suggested that the substrate-induced conformational changes in the enzyme were responsible for the protection against inhibition of the enzyme activity by the antibody.  相似文献

Changes in the activities of sucrose synthase (SuSy), ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase), alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase, 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) phosphatase and amylases were monitored in relation to accumulation of starch in developing pods of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.). With the advancement in the seed development, the contents of starch rose with a concomitant fall in the branch of inflorescence and podwall after 10 d after flowering. The activity of UDPase in all the three pod tissues remained higher than the activity of AGPase showing it to be an important enzyme controlling carbon flux. The activity of alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase in developing seed in contrast to 3-PGA phosphatase correlated with starch accumulation rate. Activity of β-amylase increased in all the pod tissues till maturity. It appears that the cooperative action of SuSy, UGPase and AGPase controls the efficient partitioning of sucrose into ADP glucose and thereby regulate the seed sink strength of the mung bean.  相似文献

Summary The activity of 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase was detected in an extract prepared from cells of mung bean (Vigna mungo) that had been cultured in the presence of shikimate while such activity was not detectable in an extract prepared from cells cultured without shikimate. The enzyme was partially purified and characterized. The maximum activity of the enzyme was observed at pH 7.4. The activity was inhibited to a small extent by EDTA and sulfhydryl inhibitors. The partially purified enzyme was sensitive to thermal denaturation but was stabilized by Mg2+ ions. These results suggest that 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase might be induced in mung bean cultured cells in the presence of shikimic acid.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - DHS 3-dehydroshikimic acid - PCA protocatechuic acid - QA quinic acid - SA shikimic acid - SORase shikimate - NAEP oxidoreductase  相似文献

Glucose oxidase (GOD) from Aspergillus niger is a dimeric enzyme having high localization of negative charges on the enzyme surface and at the dimer interface. The monovalent cations induce compaction of the native conformation of GOD and enhance stability against thermal and urea denaturation [Ahmad et al. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 1947-1955]. In this paper we report the effect of the divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the structural and stability properties of GOD. A divalent cation concentration dependent change in native conformation and subunit assembly of GOD was observed. Low concentration (up to 1 M) of CaCl2 or MgCl2 induced compaction of the native conformation of GOD, and the enzyme showed higher stability as compared to the native enzyme against urea denaturation. However, higher concentration (> or =2.0 M) of CaCl2 or MgCl2 induced dissociation of the native dimeric enzyme, resulting in stabilization of the enzyme monomer. An interesting observation was that the 3 M CaCl2-stabilized monomer of GOD retained about 70% secondary structure present in the native GOD dimer; however, there was a complete loss of cooperative interactions between these secondary structural elements present in the enzyme. Regarding the mechanism of divalent cation induced structural changes in GOD, the studies suggest that organization of water molecules by divalent cation results in stabilization of enzyme at low divalent cation concentration, whereas direct binding of these cations to the enzyme, at higher divalent cation concentration, results in dissociation and partial unfolding of the dimeric enzyme molecule.  相似文献

Glucose oxidase (GOD) from Aspergillus niger is an acidic dimeric enzyme having a high degree of localization of negative charges on the enzyme surface and dimer interface. We have studied the effect of monovalent cations on the structure and stability of GOD using various optical spectroscopic techniques, limited proteolysis, size exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and enzymic activity measurements. The monovalent cations were found to influence the enzymic activity and tertiary structure of GOD, but no effect on the secondary structure of the enzyme was observed. The monovalent cation-stabilized GOD was found to have a more compact dimeric structure but lower enzymic activity than the native enzyme. The enzyme's K(m) for D-glucose was found to be slightly enhanced for the monovalent cation-stabilized enzyme (maximum enhancement of about 35% for LiCl) as compared to native GOD. Comparative denaturation studies on the native and monovalent cation-stabilized enzyme demonstrated a significant resistance of cation-stabilized GOD to urea (about 50% residual activity at 6.5 M urea) and thermal denaturation (Delta T(m) maximum of 10 degrees C compared to native enzyme). However, pH-induced denaturation showed a destabilization of monovalent cation-stabilized GOD as compared to the native enzyme. The effectiveness of monovalent cations in stabilizing GOD structure against urea and thermal denaturation was found to follow the Hofmeister series: K(+) > Na(+) > Li(+).  相似文献

The denaturation of the trp repressor from Escherichia coli has been studied by fluorescence, circular dichroism and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The dependences of the fluorescence emission of the two tryptophan residues on the concentration of urea are not identical. The dependence of the quenching of tryptophan fluorescence by iodide as a function of urea concentration also rules out a two-state transition. The circular dichroism at 222 nm decreases in two phases as urea is added. Normalised curves for different residues observed by 1H NMR also do not coincide, and require the presence of at least one stable intermediate. Analysis of the dependence of the denaturation curves on the concentration of protein indicate that the first transition is a partial unfolding of the dimeric repressor, resulting in a loss of about 25% of the helical content. The second transition is the dissociation and unfolding of the partially unfolded dimer. At high concentrations of protein (500 microM) about 73% of the repressor exists as the intermediate in 4 M urea. The apparent dissociation constant is about 10(-4) M; the subunits are probably strongly stabilised by the subunit interaction. The native repressor is stable up to at least 70 degrees C, whereas the intermediate formed at 4 M urea can be denatured reversibly by heating (melting temperature approximately 60 degrees C, delta H approximately 230 kJ/mol).  相似文献

1. Purified human liver and small-intestinal alkaline orthophosphatases release inorganic phosphate at appreciable rates from a variety of organic pyrophosphate substrates. 2. The pyrophosphatase action is inhibited by Mg2+ ions at concentrations that activate the hydrolysis of orthophosphate substrates by these enzymes. 3. The results of mixed-substrate experiments, denaturation studies with heat or urea and starch-gel electrophoresis suggest that both orthophosphatase and pyrophosphatase activities are, in each preparation, properties of a single enzyme. 4. Intestinal phosphatase shows greater pyrophosphatase activity relative to orthophosphatase than the liver enzyme.  相似文献

Indole-3-acetyl-L-aspartic acid (IAA-Asp) is a natural product in many plant species and plays many important roles in auxin metabolism and plant physiology. IAA-Asp hydrolysis activity is, therefore, believed to affect plant physiology through changes in IAA metabolism in plants. We applied a newly discovered technique, arginine-rich intracellular delivery (AID), to deliver a bacterial IAA-Asp hydrolase into cells of mung bean (Vigna radiata) seeds and measured its effects on mung bean seed germination. IAA-Asp hydrolase inhibited seed germination about 12 h after the enzyme was delivered into cells of mung bean seeds both covalently and noncovalently. Mung bean seed germination was delayed by 36 h when the enzyme protein was noncovalently attached to the AID peptide and longer than 60 h when the enzyme protein was covalently attached to the AID peptide. Root elongation of mung bean plants was inhibited as much as 90% or 80%, respectively, when the IAA-Asp hydrolase was delivered with the AID peptide by covalent or noncovalent association. Further thin-layer chromatography analysis of plant extracts indicated that the levels of IAA increased about 12 h after treatment and reached their peak at 24 h. This result suggests that IAA-Asp hydrolase may increase IAA levels and inhibit seed germination of mung bean plants and that the AID peptide is a new, rapid, and efficient experimental tool to study the in vivo activity of enzymes of interest in plant cells.  相似文献

An authentic soluble metallo-protein nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ELNPP) was purified to homogeneity from Euphorbia characias latex. The native protein had a molecular mass of 80 ± 5 kDa and was shown to be formed by two apparently identical subunits, each containing 1 Ca2+ and 1 Mg2+ ion. Whereas Mg2+ was shown to be strongly bound to the enzyme, Ca2+ was easily removed by treatment with EDTA. Ca2+-demetalated enzyme was shown to be almost totally inactive and the activity was fully restored incubating the demetalated ELNPP with Ca2+ ions. ELNPP exhibited hydrolytic activities toward pyrophosphate/phosphodiester bonds of a broad range of substrates and very efficiently hydrolyzed the artificial substrate thymidine 5′-monophosphate 4-nitrophenyl ester generating 4-nitrophenolate as a final product, and it has been used for enzyme kinetic experiments. ELNPP represents the first example of a nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase enzyme purified from the latex of a plant belonging to the large genus Euphorbia.  相似文献

The cytosolic NADP+-dependent malic enzyme (c-NADP-ME) has a dimer-dimer quaternary structure in which the dimer interface associates more tightly than the tetramer interface. In this study, the urea-induced unfolding process of the c-NADP-ME interface mutants was monitored using fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation and enzyme activities. Here, we demonstrate the differential protein stability between dimer and tetramer interface interactions of human c-NADP-ME. Our data clearly demonstrate that the protein stability of c-NADP-ME is affected predominantly by disruptions at the dimer interface rather than at the tetramer interface. First, during thermal stability experiments, the melting temperatures of the wild-type and tetramer interface mutants are 8–10°C higher than those of the dimer interface mutants. Second, during urea denaturation experiments, the thermodynamic parameters of the wild-type and tetramer interface mutants are almost identical. However, for the dimer interface mutants, the first transition of the urea unfolding curves shift towards a lower urea concentration, and the unfolding intermediate exist at a lower urea concentration. Third, for tetrameric WT c-NADP-ME, the enzyme is first dissociated from a tetramer to dimers before the 2 M urea treatment, and the dimers then dissociated into monomers before the 2.5 M urea treatment. With a dimeric tetramer interface mutant (H142A/D568A), the dimer completely dissociated into monomers after a 2.5 M urea treatment, while for a dimeric dimer interface mutant (H51A/D90A), the dimer completely dissociated into monomers after a 1.5 M urea treatment, indicating that the interactions of c-NADP-ME at the dimer interface are truly stronger than at the tetramer interface. Thus, this study provides a reasonable explanation for why malic enzymes need to assemble as a dimer of dimers.  相似文献

Immunological cross-reactivity among three types of inorganic pyrophosphatases, that is, the proton pumping inorganic pyrophosphate synthase (H(+)-PPi synthase) and the soluble inorganic pyrophosphatase, both from Rhodospirillum rubrum, and the vacuolar membrane inorganic pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) from mung bean (Vigna radiata), were examined by means of immunoblot analyses. Antibodies raised against the mung bean H(+)-PPase cross-reacted with the H(+)-PPi synthase from R. rubrum but not with the soluble PPase from R. rubrum. N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), which inhibits both synthesis and hydrolysis of PPi catalysed by purified and chromatophore H(+)-PPi synthase, binds to the enzyme as shown by fluorography of [14C]DCCD labelling. These results suggest that the R. rubrum H(+)-PPase share close structural similarities with the vacuolar H(+)-PPase from Mung bean.  相似文献

The extent of rooting in cuttings of Phaseolus vulgaris L., and Vigna radiata Wilcz. was affected by 4-chlororesorcinol, a polyphenol oxidase inhibitor. More root primordia and more roots were formed after 4-chlororesorcinol treatment both with and without 10-5M Indole butyric acid. Promotion of rooting was observed also in cuttings of Elaeagnus pungens, Gypsophilia elegans and Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. The enhancement in bean and mung bean was accompanied by a concomitant wider spatial distribution of the primordia and the resulting adventitious roots. The formation of primordia in the treated cuttings was delayed by 12–24 hours, compared to untreated cuttings. The treatment was effective only when given during the first hours after the preparation of the cutting of bean and mung bean, suggesting involvement in the initiation stage. Hypocotyl extracts of mung bean cuttings, pretreated with 4-chlororesorcinol, exhibited reduced polyphenol oxidase activity. The inhibition was not reversed by washing of the treated extract in 50% acetone or by an overnight dialysis, suggesting tight or maybe even irreversible binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme.Abbreviations 4-CR 4-chlororesorcinol - IBA Indole butyric acid - PPO polyphenol oxidase  相似文献

Root-infecting fungal pathogens and also parasites, which do not cause major disease symptoms cause problems of contamination in pot cultures of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. We investigated the effect of the AM fungus, Glomus coronatum Giovannetti on disease caused by binucleate Rhizoctonia sp. (BNR) and R. solani in mung bean in the absence (P0) and presence (P1) of added soil phosphorus (P). When G. coronatum and BNR or R. solani were inoculated at the same time, G. coronatum improved the growth of the plants and reduced colonization of roots by BNR, but not by R. solani. R. solani reduced the growth of non-mycorrhizal mung bean in P0 soil 6 weeks after inoculation, whereas BNR had no effect on growth. G. coronatum reduced the severity of disease caused by BNR or R. solani on mung bean in both soil P treatments. When G. coronatum was established in the roots 3 weeks before BNR or R. solani was added to the potting mix, there was no significant effect of BNR or R. solani on growth of mung bean. Prior colonization by G. coronatum slightly reduced indices of disease caused by BNR or R. solani. In both experiments, addition of P stimulated plant growth and reduced the colonization of roots by BNR, but had little effect on disease severity. We conclude that the reduction of the effect of BNR or R. solani on mung bean could not be explained by improved P nutrition, but could be attributed to the presence of G. coronatum within and among the roots.  相似文献
