牛脾胆绿素还原酶的性质

纯牛脾胆绿素还原酶是单一蛋白质,分子量约34 000,等电点约6.2。该酶对胆绿素具有专一性,在还原胆绿素为胆红素中,以还原胆绿素Ⅸ_α最快,Ⅸ_β、Ⅸ_γ和Ⅸ_δ皆很慢。于还原反应中,此酸可以NADH为电子和氢供体,NADPH亦然。然而,NADH依赖性酸与NADPH依赖性酶动力学性质不同:与NADH反应的最适pH7.0,而与HADPH反应时为8.5;两者活性均为过量的胆绿素所抑制,不过,NADPH依赖性酶更敏感。

Biliverdin Reductase B Dynamics Are Coupled to Coenzyme Binding

Biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) is a newly identified cellular redox regulator that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of multiple substrates. Through mass spectrometry analysis, we identified high levels of BLVRB in mature red blood cells, highlighting the importance of BLVRB in redox regulation. The BLVRB conformational changes that occur during conezyme/substrate binding and the role of dynamics in BLVRB function, however, remain unknown. Through a combination of NMR, kinetics, and isothermal titration calorimetry studies, we determined that BLVRB binds its coenzyme 500-fold more tightly than its substrate. While the active site of apo BLVRB is highly dynamic on multiple timescales, active site dynamics are largely quenched within holo BLVRB, in which dynamics are redistributed to other regions of the enzyme. We show that a single point mutation of Arg78?Ala leads to both an increase in active site micro-millisecond motions and an increase in the microscopic rate constants of coenzyme binding. This demonstrates that altering BLVRB active site dynamics can directly cause a change in functional characteristics. Our studies thus address the solution behavior of apo and holo BLVRB and identify a role of enzyme dynamics in coenzyme binding.     

Purification and Properties of Cow Splenic Biliverdin Reductase

Abstract

Biliverdin reductase was purified from cow spleen. The specific activity of the final enzyme preparation was 24.01 u/mg, representing 686-fold purification as measured with NADPH. The yield was 3 grams of enzyme per 100 grams of cow spleen. The purified enzyme was a monomeric protein with an apparent molecular weight of about 34,000 and an isoelectric point of about 6.2. The biliverdin reductase was specific for biliverdin and reduced IXα faster than the biliverdin isomers IXβ, IXr, or IXδ. The purified enzyme could utilize both NADH and NADPH, but the kinectic properties of the NADH-dependent and the NADPH-dependent enzyme activities were different: the time course of the NADPH-dependent reaction displayed a sigmoidal curve, whereas that of the NADH-dependent reaction did not. Km for biliverdin IXα was 4 × 10^?4 mM in the NADPH system, while it was 1.5 × 10^?3 mM in the NADH system. Both enzyme activities were inhibited by excess biliverdin, but the inhibition of the NADPH-dependent enzyme activity was more pronounced. The pH optimum was 7.0 with NADH, and 6.8 with NADPH.

Purification and characterization of biliverdin IXalpha from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) bile

Biliverdin IX was purified from the bile of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using a silica gel (Wakogel C-200) column. The yield was 49.5 mg per 100 ml of fresh bile and purity 95.3%. The biliverdin IX in the bile was quite stable when the bile was frozen at –80°C for a period of 40 days. However, 7.1% of the biliverdin IX was lost when the bile was stored at 4°C for 20 days. The purified biliverdin IX appeared as a single spot with R_f value of 0.25-0.27 on thin layer chromatography (TLC) and one main peak on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at 436 or 650 nm. When the biliverdin IX was subjected to enzymic reduction with highly purified biliverdin reductase, two clear isobestic points were seen, at 384 and 670 nm. When the products of the reaction with biliverdin IX were extracted in butanol after completion of the reaction, one absorbance peak was observed at 468 nm. The time course of the reduction of biliverdin IX to bilirubin IX catalyzed by biliverdin reductase depended on reduced pyridine nucleotide. The time course of the NADPH-dependent reaction is different from that of the reaction with NADH. In the reduction of biliverdin IX , per mole of biliverdin IX reduced or per mole of bilirubin IX formed 1 mole of reduced pyridine nucleotide was consumed in both the NADH and NADPH systems.     

Purification and Some Properties of “Methemoglobin Reductase”

A procedure for obtaining the electrophoretically and ultracentrifugally homogenous preparation of “methemoglobin reductase” from erythrocytes of blue-white dolphin was developed. Method consists of DEAE-cellulose adsorption, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. There were obtained three preparations of enzyme. All these preparations strongly reduced methemoglobin, metmyoglobin and cytochrome c in the presence of methyleneblue when NADPH or NADH was used as the cofactor. The activity of NADPH as the cofactor was higher than that of NADH. The enzyme contained neither flavin nor heme, and molecular weight was 23,000 ~ 28,000.     

Interaction of Cibacron Blue F3G-A and Procion Red HE-3B with sheep liver 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase

Cibacron Blue F3G-A, a probe used to monitor nucleotide binding domains in enzymes, inhibited sheep liver 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase competitively with respect to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and NADPH. TheK _i values obtained by kinetic methods and theK _d value for the binding of the dye to the enzyme estimated by protein fluorescence quenching were in the range 0.9–1.2 μM. Another triazine dye, Procion Red HE-3B interacted with the enzyme in an essentially similar manner to that observed with Cibacron Blue F3G-A. These results as well as the interaction of the dye with the enzyme monitored by difference spectroscopy and intrinsic protein fluorescence quenching methods indicated that the dye was probably interacting at the active site of the enzyme by binding at a hydrophobic region.
