Present evidence suggests that skin is an important organ of prostaglandin metabolism. To clarify its role, the basic kinetics of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) from rat skin were investigated with either NAD+ of NADP+ as co-substrate. Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were used as substrates and preliminary studies were made of the inhibitory effects of the reduced co-substrates NADH and NADPH. A radiochemical assay was used in which [3H]PGF2 alpha or [14C]PGE2 were incubated with high-speed supernatant of rat skin homogenates. The substrate and products were then extracted by solvent partition, separated by t.l.c. and quantified by liquid-scintillation counting. At linear reaction rates and at an NAD+ concentration of 10 mM the mean apparent Km for PGF2 alpha was 24 microM with a mean apparent Vmax. of 9.8 nmol/s per litre of reaction mixture. For PGE2 the mean apparent Km was 8 microM, with a mean apparent Vmax, of 2.7 nmol/s per litre of reaction mixture. With NADP+ as a co-substrate at a concentration of 5 mM a mean apparent Km of 23 microM was obtained for PGF2 alpha with a mean apparent Vmax. of 5.2 nmol/s per litre. For PGE2 values of 7.5 microM and 3.0 nmol/s per litre were obtained respectively. These results show that skin contains NAD+- and NADP+-dependent PGDH. An important finding was that the NADP+-linked enzyme gave Km values for PGE2 that were considerably lower than those reported for NADP+-linked PGDH from other tissues. Furthermore, preliminary inhibition studies with the NAD+-linked PGDH system indicate that this enzyme is not only inhibited by NADH, but also by NADPH, a property not previously reported for NAD+-linked PGDH derived from other tissues. 相似文献

1. An NADP+-dependent malic enzyme was purified 7940-fold from the cytosolic fraction of human skeletal muscle with a final yield of 55.8% and a specific activity of 38.91 units/mg of protein. 2. The purification to homogeneity was achieved by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, affinity chromatography on NADP+-Agarose, gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 and rechromatography on the affinity column. 3. Either Mn2+ or Mg2+ was required for activity: the pH optima with Mn2+ and Mg2+ were 8.1 and 7.5, respectively. The enzyme showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. At pH 7.5 the apparent Km values with Mn2+ and Mg2+ for L-malate and NADP+ were 0.246 mM and 5.8 microM, and 0.304 mM and 5.8 microM, respectively. The Km values with Mn2+ for pyruvate, NADPH and bicarbonate were 8.6 mM, 6.1 microM and 22.2 mM, respectively. 4. The enzyme was also able to decarboxylate malate in the presence of NAD+. At pH 7.5 the reaction rate was approximately 10% of the rate in the presence of NADP+, with a Km value for NAD+ of 13.9 mM. 5. The following physical parameters were established: s0(20.w) = 10.48, Stokes' radius = 5.61 nm, pI = 5.72 Mr of the dissociated enzyme = 61,800. The estimates of the native apparent Mr yielded a value of 313,000 upon gel filtration, and 255,400 with f/fo = 1.33 by combining the chromatographic data with the sedimentation measurements. 6. The electron microscopy analysis of the uranyl acetate-stained enzyme revealed a tetrameric structure. 7. Investigations to detect sugar moieties indicated that the enzyme contains carbohydrate side chains, a property not previously reported for any other malic enzyme. 相似文献

Two kinds of methylglyoxal reductases were purified to apparent homogeneity from Aspergillus niger and designated MGR I and MGR II. Both enzymes consisted of a single polypeptide chain with a relative molecular mass of 36,000 (MGR I) and 38,000 (MGR II). NADPH was specifically required for the activities of both enzymes and Km values for NADPH were 54 microM (MGR I) and 6.8 microM (MGR II). MGR I was specific to 2-oxoaldehydes [glyoxal, methylglyoxal (Km = 15.4 mM) and phenylglyoxal], whereas MGR II was active on both 2-oxoaldehydes [glyoxal (Km = 10 mM), methylglyoxal (Km = 1.43 mM), phenylglyoxal (Km = 4.35 mM) and 4,5-dioxovalerate] and some aldehydes (propionaldehyde and acetaldehyde). Optimal pH values for MGR I and MGR II activities were 9.0 and 6.5 respectively. Both enzymes were inactivated by a brief incubation with 2-oxoaldehydes (glyoxal, methylglyoxal and phenylglyoxal) in the absence of NADPH. MGR I activity was competitively inhibited by NADP+ and the Ki value for NADP+ was calculated to be 0.49 mM. On the other hand, the inhibition of MGR II activity by NADP+ was of mixed type, the Ki value for NADP+ being 45 microM. MGR I was different from MGR II in amino acid composition. 相似文献

NAD kinase was purified 93-fold from Escherichia coli. The enzyme was found to have a pH optimum of 7.2 and an apparent Km for NAD+, ATP, and Mg2+ of 1.9, 2.1, and 4.1 mM, respectively. Several compounds including quinolinic acid, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, nicotinamide mononucleotide, AMP, ADP, and NADP+ did not affect NAD kinase activity. The enzyme was not affected by changes in the adenylate energy charge. In contrast, both NADH and NADPH were potent negative modulators of the enzyme, since their presence at micromolar concentrations resulted in a pronounced sigmoidal NAD+ saturation curve. In addition, the presence of a range of concentrations of the reduced nucleotides resulted in an increase of the Hill slope (nH) to 1.7 to 2.0 with NADH and to 1.8 to 2.1 with NADPH, suggesting that NAD kinase is an allosteric enzyme. These results indicate that NAD kinase activity is regulated by the availability of ATP, NAD+, and Mg2+ and, more significantly, by changes in the NADP+/NADPH and NAD+/NADH ratios. Thus, NAD kinase probably plays a role in the regulation of NADP turnover and pool size in E. coli. 相似文献

Activity of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase coupled with steroid-delta 5-4-isomerase was demonstrated for the first time in the pancreas. The enzyme complex was assayed by measuring the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone as well as of dehydroepiandrosterone to androstenedione and found to be localized primarily in the mitochondrial fraction of dog pancreas homogenates. The delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase used either NAD+ or NADP+ as co-substrates, although maximal activity was observed with NAD+. In phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 and 37 degrees C, the apparent Km values of the dehydrogenase were 6.54 +/- 0.7 microM for pregnenolone and 9.61 +/- 0.8 microM for NAD+. The apparent Vmax was determined as 0.82 +/- 0.02 nmol min-1 mg-1. Under the same conditions the Km values for dehydroepiandrosterone and NAD+ were 3.3 +/- 0.2 microM and 9.63 +/- 1.6 microM, respectively, and the apparent Vmax was 0.62 +/- 0.01 nmol min-1 mg-1. 相似文献

The human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme (m-NAD-ME) is a malic enzyme isoform with dual cofactor specificity and substrate binding cooperativity. Previous kinetic studies have suggested that Lys362 in the pigeon cytosolic NADP+-dependent malic enzyme has remarkable effects on the binding of NADP+ to the enzyme and on the catalytic power of the enzyme (Kuo, C. C., Tsai, L. C., Chin, T. Y., Chang, G.-G., and Chou, W. Y. (2000) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 270, 821-825). In this study, we investigate the important role of Gln362 in the transformation of cofactor specificity from NAD+ to NADP+ in human m-NAD-ME. Our kinetic data clearly indicate that the Q362K mutant shifted its cofactor preference from NAD+ to NADP+. The Km(NADP) and kcat(NADP) values for this mutant were reduced by 4-6-fold and increased by 5-10-fold, respectively, compared with those for the wild-type enzyme. Furthermore, up to a 2-fold reduction in Km(NADP)/Km(NAD) and elevation of kcat(NADP)/kcat(NAD) were observed for the Q362K enzyme. Mutation of Gln362 to Ala or Asn did not shift its cofactor preference. The Km(NADP)/Km(NAD) and kcat(NADP)/kcat(NAD) values for Q362A and Q362N were comparable with those for the wild-type enzyme. The DeltaG values for Q362A and Q362N with either NAD+ or NADP+ were positive, indicating that substitution of Gln with Ala or Asn at position 362 brings about unfavorable cofactor binding at the active site and thus significantly reduces the catalytic efficiency. Our data also indicate that the cooperative binding of malate became insignificant in human m-NAD-ME upon mutation of Gln362 to Lys because the sigmoidal phenomenon appearing in the wild-type enzyme was much less obvious that that in Q362K. Therefore, mutation of Gln362 to Lys in human m-NAD-ME alters its kinetic properties of cofactor preference, malate binding cooperativity, and allosteric regulation by fumarate. However, the other Gln362 mutants, Q362A and Q362N, have conserved malate binding cooperativity and NAD+ specificity. In this study, we provide clear evidence that the single mutation of Gln362 to Lys in human m-NAD-ME changes it to an NADP+-dependent enzyme, which is characteristic because it is non-allosteric, non-cooperative, and NADP+-specific. 相似文献

Three alcohol dehydrogenases have been identified in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus sp. strain HO1-N: an NAD(+)-dependent enzyme and two NADP(+)-dependent enzymes. One of the NADP(+)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases was partially purified and was specific for long-chain substrates. With tetradecanol as substrate an apparent Km value of 5.2 microM was calculated. This enzyme has a pI of 4.5 and a molecular mass of 144 kDa. All three alcohol dehydrogenases were constitutively expressed. Three aldehyde dehydrogenases were also identified: an NAD(+)-dependent enzyme, an NADP(+)-dependent enzyme and one which was nucleotide independent. The NAD(+)-dependent enzyme represented only 2% of the total activity and was not studied further. The NADP(+)-dependent enzyme was strongly induced by growth of cells on alkanes and was associated with hydrocarbon vesicles. With tetradecanal as substrate an apparent Km value of 0.2 microM was calculated. The nucleotide-independent aldehyde dehydrogenase could use either Würster's Blue or phenazine methosulphate (PMS) as an artificial electron acceptor. This enzyme represents approximately 80% of the total long-chain aldehyde oxidizing activity within the cell when the enzymes were induced by growing the cells on hexadecane. It is particulate but can be solubilized using Triton X-100. The enzyme has an apparent Km of 0.36 mM for decanal. 相似文献

In cell extracts of Methanosarcina barkeri, the methylcoenzyme M methylreductase system with H2 as the electron donor was inhibited by NAD+ and NADP+, but NADH and NADPH had no effect on enzyme activity. NAD+ (4 and 8 mM) shifted the saturation curve for methylcoenzyme M from hyperbolic (Hill coefficient [nH] = 1.0; concentration of substrate giving half maximal velocity [Km] = 0.21 mM) to sigmoidal (nH = 1.5 and 2.0), increased Km (Km = 0.25 and 0.34 mM), and slightly decreased Vmax. Similarly NADP+ at 4m and 8 mM increased nH to 1.6 and 1.85 respectively, but the Km values (0.3 and 0.56 mM) indicated that NADP+ was a more efficient inhibitor than NAD+. 相似文献

1. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme [EC 1.1.1. 39, L-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)] from herring could use both coenzymes, NAD and NADP, in a similar manner. 2. The coenzyme preference of mitochondrial NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme was probed using dual wavelength spectroscopy and pairing the natural coenzymes, NAD or NADP with their respective thionicotinamide analogues, s-NADP or s-NAD, that have absorbance maxima in reduced forms at 400 nm. 3. s-NAD and s-NADP were found to be good alternate substrates for NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme, the apparent Km values for the thioderivatives were similar to those of the corresponding natural coenzymes. 4. ATP produced greater inhibition of the NAD or s-NAD linked reactions than of the NADP or s-NADP-linked reactions of skeletal muscle mitochondrial NAD(P)-dependent malic enzyme. 5. At 5 mM malate concentration and in the presence of 2 mM ATP the NADP-linked reaction is favoured and the activity ratios, V(s-NADP)/V(NAD) or V(NADP)/V(s-NAD), are 6 and 26, respectively. 相似文献

Rat and calf adrenal cortex homogenates were found to contain three different malic enzymes. Two were strictly NADP+-dependent and were localized, one each, in the cytosol and the mitochondrial fractions, respectively. These two enzymes appear to be identical to those described by Simpson and Estabrook (Simpson, E. R., and Estabrook, R. W. (1969) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 129, 384-395). The third was NAD(P)+-linked and was present in the mitochondrial fraction only. All three malic enzymes separated as distinct bands during electrophoresis on 5 percent polyacrylamide slab gels at pH 9.0. Marker enzymes and the mitochondrial malic enzymes migrated together in intact mitochondria during sucrose density gradient centrifugations despite changes in the equilibrium position of the mitochondria promoted by energy-dependent calcium phosphate accumulation. In adrenal cortex mitochondria subfractionated by the method of Sottocasa et al. (SOTTOCASA, G.L., KUYLENSTIERNA, B., ERNSTER, L., and BERGSTAND, A. (1967) J. Cell Biol. 32, 415-438), both malic enzymes were associated with the inner membrane-matrix space. Sonication solubilized the two malic enzymes along with the matrix space marker enzymes. The NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme was purified 100-fold from calf adrenal cortex mitochondria. The final preparation was free of malic dehydrogenase, fumarase, the strictly NADP+-linked malic enzyme and adenylate kinase. Either Mn24 orMg2+ was required for activity and 1 mol of pyruvate was formed for each mole of NAD+ and NADP+ reduced. The pH optima with NAD+ and NADP+ were 6.5 tp 7.0 and 6.0 to 6.5, respectively. Michaelis-Menten kinetics were observed on the alkaline side. Fumarate, succinate, and isocitrate were positive and ATP and ADP were negative modulators of the regulatory enzyme. The modulators did not influence the stoichiometry and they were not metabolized during the reaction. Under Vmax conditions the ratios for the rate of NAD+:NADP+ reduction were 1.76 and 1.15 at pH 7.4 and 6.0, respectively. The apparent Michaelis constants also differed depending on the pH and the coenzyme. At pH 7.4 (in the presence of 5 mM fumarate) and at pH 6.0 (no fumarate) the Km values for (-)-malate, NAD+, and Mn2+ were 1.7, 0.16, and 0.15 mM, and 0.31, 0.06, and 0.09 mM, respectively. At pH 7.4 (5MM fumarate) and pH 6.0 (no fumarate), the Km values for (-)-malate, NADP+, and Mn2+ were 6.5, 0.62, and 0.59 mM, and 0.68. 0.12, and 0.31 mM, respectively. The apparent Ki values for ATP with NAD+ and NADP+ as coenzyme were 0.42 and 0.27 mM, respectively. 相似文献

Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (refers to hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from any species in general) has been purified to apparent homogeneity from the teleost fish Fundulus heteroclitus. The enzyme was characterized for native (210 kDa) and subunit molecular mass (54 kDa), isoelectric point (6.65), amino acid composition, substrate specificity, and metal dependence. Glucose 6-phosphate, galactose 6-phosphate, 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-sulfate, glucosamine 6-phosphate, and glucose were found to be substrates in the reaction with NADP+, but only glucose was a substrate when NAD+ was used as coenzyme. A unique reaction mechanism for the forward direction was found for this enzyme when glucose 6-phosphate and NADP+ were used as substrates; ordered with glucose 6-phosphate binding first. NAD+ was found to be a competitive inhibitor toward NADP+ and an uncompetitive inhibitor with regard to glucose 6-phosphate in this reaction; Vmax = 7.56 mumol/min/mg, Km(NADP+) = 1.62 microM, Km(glucose 6-phosphate) = 7.29 microM, Kia(glucose 6-phosphate) = 8.66 microM, and Ki(NAD+) = 0.49 microM. The use of alternative substrates confirmed this result. This type of reaction mechanism has not been previously reported for a dehydrogenase. 相似文献

L-Threonine dehydrogenase, which forms aminoacetone from L-threonine and NAD, has been extensively purified from goat liver. A feedback inhibition of this enzyme has been observed with methylglyoxal. Kinetic data and other experiments indicate that methylglyoxal acts at a site other than the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme contains a single subunit of Mr 89,000. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for L-threonine and NAD were found to be 5.5 and 1 mM, respectively. 相似文献

An NADP(+)-dependent D-xylose dehydrogenase from pig liver cytosol was purified about 2000-fold to apparent homogeneity with a yield of 15% and specific activity of 6 units/mg of protein. An Mr value of 62,000 was obtained by gel filtration. PAGE in the presence of SDS gave an Mr value of 32,000, suggesting that the native enzyme is a dimer of similar or identical subunits. D-Xylose, D-ribose, L-arabinose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, D-glucose and D-mannose were substrates in the presence of NADP+ but the specificity constant (ratio kcat./Km(app.)) is, by far, much higher for D-xylose than for the other sugars. The enzyme is specific for NADP+; NAD+ is not reduced in the presence of D-xylose or other sugars. Initial-velocity studies for the forward direction with xylose or NADP+ concentrations varied at fixed concentrations of the nucleotide or the sugar respectively revealed a pattern of parallel lines in double-reciprocal plots. Km values for D-xylose and NADP+ were 8.8 mM and 0.99 mM respectively. Dead-end inhibition studies to confirm a ping-pong mechanism showed that NAD+ acted as an uncompetitive inhibitor versus NADP+ (Ki 5.8 mM) and as a competitive inhibitor versus xylose. D-Lyxose was a competitive inhibitor versus xylose and uncompetitive versus NADP+. These results fit better to a sequential compulsory ordered mechanism with NADP+ as the first substrate, but a ping-pong mechanism with xylose as the first substrate has not been ruled out. The presence of D-xylose dehydrogenase suggests that in mammalian liver D-xylose is utilized by a pathway other than the pentose phosphate pathway. 相似文献

Three hybridoma cell lines secreting antibodies against human placental NAD(+)-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-OH-PGDH) were produced. Purified IgG2b from these cell lines recognized a distinct band of Mr 28,000 on SDS/PAGE from the purified enzyme as well as a band of Mr 56,000 from the crude enzyme preparation. These three monoclonal antibodies inhibited 15-OH-PGDH activity to different degrees. Inhibition of the enzyme activity could be prevented by prior incubation of the enzyme with NAD+ but not with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or NADP+. Inhibition by monoclonal antibodies appears to be non-competitive with respect to NAD+ and PGE2. An increased concentration of antibodies alters the apparent Km for NAD+ but not for PGE2, further supporting the notion that the antibodies bind to the coenzyme-binding site. The availability of these monoclonal antibodies should be valuable for probing the structure of the active site. 相似文献

An oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate/oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADP+/NAD+) nonspecific L-glutamate dehydrogenase from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron was purified 40-fold (NADP+ or NAD+ activity) over crude cell extract by heat treatment, (NH4)2SO2 fractionation, diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, Bio-Gel A 1.5m, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. Both NADP+- and NAD+-dependent activities coeluted from all chromatographic treatments. Moreover, a constant ratio of NADP+/NAD+ specific activities was demonstrated at each purification step. Both activities also comigrated in 6% nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. Affinity chromatography of the 40-fold-purified enzyme using Procion RED HE-3B gave a preparation containing both NADP+- and NAD+-linked activities which showed a single protein band of 48,5000 molecular weight after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. The dual pyridine nucleotide nature of the enzyme was most readily apparent in the oxidative direction. Reductively, the enzyme was 30-fold more active with reduced NADP than with reduced NAD. Nonlinear concave 1/V versus 1/S plots were observed for reduced NADP and NH4Cl. Salts (0.1 M) stimulated the NADP+-linked reaction, inhibited the NAD+-linked reaction, and had little effect on the reduced NADP-dependent reaction. The stimulatory effect of salts (NADP+) was nonspecific, regardless of the anion or cation, whereas the degree of NAD+-linked inhibition decreased in the order to I- greater than Br- greater than Cl- greater than F-. Both NADP+ and NAD+ glutamate dehydrogenase activities were also detected in cell extracts from representative strains of other bacteroides deoxyribonucleic acid homology groups. 相似文献

1. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from rabbit mammary gland was purified to homogeneity by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The molecular weight of the subunit is 52 000. The enzyme was purified 150-fold with a final specific activity of 20 mumol of NADP+ reduced/min per mg of protein and overall yield of 3%. The molecular weight of the native enzyme is estimated to be 104 000 from gel-filtration studies. The final purification step was carried out by affinity chromatography with NADP+-Sepharose. 2. The Km values for 6-phosphogluconate and NADP+ are approx. 54 muM and 23 muM respectively. 3. Citrate and pyrophosphate are competitive inhibitors of the enzyme with respect to both 6-phosphogluconate and NADP+. 4. MgCl2 affects the apparent Km for NADP+ at saturating concentrations of 6-phosphogluconate. 相似文献

Acetylpyridine NADP replaced NADP in promoting the Mn2+ ion-requiring mitochondrial "malic" enzyme of Hymenolepis diminuta. Disrupted mitochondria displayed low levels of an apparent oxaloacetate-forming malate dehydrogenase activity when NAD or acetylpyridine NAD served as the coenzyme. Significant malate-dependent reduction of acetylpyridine NAD by H. diminuta mitochondria required Mn2+ ion and NADP, thereby indicating the tandem operation of "malic" enzyme and NADPH:NAD transhydrogenase. Incubation of mitochondrial preparations with oxaloacetate resulted in a non-enzymatic decarboxylation reaction. Coupling of malate oxidation with electron transport via the "malic" enzyme and transhydrogenase was demonstrated by polarographic assessment of mitochondrial reduced pyridine nucleotide oxidase activity. 相似文献

Bisubstrate inhibitors, obtained by covalently linking 2-oxoglutarate with NAD+ and NADP+, were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit NAD+- and NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases from pig heart mitochondria. The NADP+-dependent enzyme was specifically inhibited by the NADP oxoglutarate adduct and not by the NAD adduct. The NADP adduct was competitive with both coenzyme and substrate, isocitrate. In contrast, the NAD+-dependent enzyme was inhibited by both adducts. NAD oxoglutarate is competitive with both NAD+ and isocitrate while the NADP adduct is competitive with isocitrate but not with NAD+. Nevertheless conditions could be set up so that use of these inhibitors would be feasible for a metabolic study. 相似文献

Characterization of Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus glutamate dehydrogenase purified by dye-ligand chromatography 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating); EC 1.4.1.2) has been purified from Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus in a single step using dye-ligand chromatography. The enzyme (GDH) was present in high yields and was stabilized in crude extracts. A subunit molecular weight of 49000 +/- 500 was determined by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and six bands were obtained after cross-linking the subunits with dimethyl suberimidate. This bacterial GDH was predominantly NAD+-linked, but was able to utilize both NADP+ and NADPH at 4% of the rates with NAD+ and NADH, respectively. An investigation of the amino acid specificity revealed some similarities with GDH from mammalian sources and some clear differences. The values of apparent Km for the substrates ammonia, 2-oxoglutarate, NADH, NAD+ and glutamate were 18.4, 0.82, 0.066, 0.031 and 6 mM, respectively. The P. asaccharolyticus GDH was not regulated by purine nucleotides, but was subject to strong inhibition with increasing ionic strength. 相似文献

An enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of methylglyoxal to lactaldehyde has been isolated and purified from goat liver to apparent homogeneity. NADH was found to be a better substrate than NADPH for methylglyoxal reduction. Stoichiometrically equivalent amounts of lactaldehyde and NAD are formed from methylglyoxal and NADH. Enzyme activity was located only in the soluble supernatant fractions of liver cells. Of the various carbonyl compounds tested, methylglyoxal was found to be the best substrate. The pH optimum of the enzyme was found to be 6.5, and Km for methylglyoxal was 0.4 mM. The molecular weight of the enzyme was found to be 89000 by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-200 column. Electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel revealed that the enzyme is composed of two subunits. The enzyme is highly sensitive to sulfhydryl group reagents. The inactivation by p-chloromercuribenzoate could be substantially protected by methylglyoxal in combination with NADH, indicating a possible involvement of one or more sulfhydryl group(s) at the active site of the enzyme. 相似文献
