"Biosynthetic" L-threonine dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.16) was purified to a homogeneous state with 29% yield of total activity from Escherichia coli K-12. The homogeneity of the enzyme was shown by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis in the presence of dodecyl sulphate. The enzyme consisted of equal subunits having a molecular weight of about 57 000. The polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis has shown that the native enzyme consisted of a set of oligomeric forms. The multiplicity of molecular organization of the enzyme was reflected in complicated kinetic behaviour: at pH greater than 9 on the plots of initial reaction rate (v) versus initial substrate concentration ([S]o) there were four inflexion points (two intermediate plateaux), the position and deepness of which depended on enzyme concentration. At pH 8.3 on the v versus [S]o plots appeared two inflexion points (one intermediate plateu), the position of which practically did not depend on enzyme concentration in the reaction mixture, but strongly depended on the enzyme concentration in the stock solution. Repeated polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis of several oligomeric forms, isolated by the first electrophoresis, has shown that the oligomeric forms underwent a slow polymerization. It was suggested that "biosynthetic" L-threonine dehydratase from E. coli K-12 is a set of multiple oligomeric forms, having different kinetic parameters. Probably, each form of the enzyme has a "simple" kinetics characterized by hyperbolic or sigmoidal shape of v versus [S]o plots. The rate of equilibrium installation between the oligomeric forms was small in comparison with the enzyme reaction velocity, that lead to the complex kinetic curves, appearing as a result of summing up of the kinetics inherent to theindividual forms.  相似文献

The reduction kinetics of both the resting and redox-cycled forms of the nitrite reductase from the anaerobic rumen bacterium Wolinella succinogenes were studied by stopped-flow reaction techniques. Single-turnover reduction of the enzyme by dithionite occurs in two kinetic phases for both forms of the enzyme. When the resting form of the enzyme is subjected to a single-turnover reduction by dithionite, the slower of the two kinetic phases exhibits a hyperbolic dependence of the rate constant on the square root of the reductant concentration, the limiting value of which (approximately 4 s-1) is assigned to a slow internal electron-transfer process. In contrast, when the redox-cycled form of the enzyme is reduced by dithionite in a single-turnover experiment, both kinetic phases exhibit linear dependences of the rate on the square root of dithionite concentration, with associated rate constants of 150 M-1/2.s-1 and 6 M-1/2.s-1. Computer simulations of both the reduction processes shows that no unique set of rate constants can account for the kinetics of both forms, although the kinetics of the redox-cycled species is consistent with a much enhanced rate of internal electron transfer. Under turnover conditions the time course for reduction of the enzyme, in the presence of millimolar levels of nitrite and 100 mM-dithionite, is extremely complex. A working model for the mechanism of the turnover activity of the enzyme is proposed which very closely describes the reaction kinetics over a wide range of substrate concentrations, as shown by computer simulation. The similarity in the action of the nitrite reductase enzyme and mammalian cytochrome c oxidase is commented upon.  相似文献

Acetylcholinesterase (E.C.3.1.1.7) was partially purified from rat brains stored in toluene. Extraction was performed using buffers containing non-ionic tensoactive detergents. Some properties of the enzyme were affected by the use of different activity measurement methods, such as the short-time radiometric or the long-time colorimetric method. There were two zones of maximum activity in the range pH 7.5-8.0 and 8.0-8.6, respectively. There seems to be a histidine residue in the enzyme that participates in the catalytic process. Thermal denuration presented first order kinetics and different thermodynamic parameters were obtained on using different incubation periods. On using the short-time activity measurement method there was activation at high substrate concentration, but with the long time method there was a marked inhibition produced by excess of substrate. However, if the enzyme was extracted from fresh rat brain, toluene untreated, these differences dissapeared. Gel filtration and disc electrophoresis showed the presence of multiple and interconvertible forms of the enzyme.  相似文献

The most widely used rate expression for single-substrate enzyme catalyzed reactions, namely the Michaelis-Menten kinetics is based upon the assumption that enzyme concentration is in excess of the substrate in the medium and the rate is mainly limited by the substrate concentration according to saturation kinetics. However, this is only a special case and the actual rate expression varies depending on the initial enzyme/substrate ratio (E0/S0). When the substrate concentration exceeds the enzyme concentration the limitation is due to low enzyme concentration and the rate increases with the enzyme concentration according to saturation kinetics. The maximum rate is obtained when the initial concentrations of the enzyme and the substrate are equal. A generalized rate equation was developed in this study and special cases were discussed for enzyme catalyzed reactions.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to determine the role that diffusion may play in the in vivo kinetics of the Escherichia coli periplasmic enzyme, alkaline phosphatase (AP, encoded by the gene pho A). Passive diffusion of solutes, from solution into the periplasm, is thought to occur mainly through porins in the outer membrane. The outer membrane therefore serves as a diffusion barrier separating a population of periplasmic enzymes from bulk substrate. E. coli strains containing a plasmid with the pho A gene linked to the lac promoter were used in this study in order to vary the amount of enzyme per cell. Alkaline phosphatase assays were conducted with intact cells, and the substrate concentration at half-maximum velocity (normally the Km for the enzyme) was determined as a function of enzyme concentration per cell. The results showed that diffusion of substrate to the enzyme caused as much as a 1000-fold change in this parameter, compared to that of purified enzyme. This suggested that diffusion was the rate-limiting step of the enzymatic reaction in these cells. In agreement with this type of reaction, Eadie-Hofstee and Lineweaver-Burk plots were not linear. At their extremes, these plots represented two types of kinetics. At high substrate concentration, equilibrium of substrate between bulk solution and the periplasm was achieved, and the kinetic properties conformed to Michaelis-Menten. At low substrate concentrations, there were a large number of free (unbound) enzymes, and each substrate molecule that entered the periplasm, through the diffusion barrier, resulted in product formation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The irreversible thermal inactivation of the sugarcane leaf NADP(+)-malic enzyme was studied at 50 degrees C and pH 7.0 and 8.0. Depending on the preincubation conditions, thermal inactivation followed mono- or biphasic first-order kinetics. A two-step behavior in the irreversible denaturation process was found when protein concentration was sufficiently low. The protein concentration necessary to obtain monlphasic thermal inactivation kinetics was lower at pH 8.0 than at pH 7.0. The results suggest that biphasic inactivation kinetics are the consequence of the existence of two different oligomeric forms of the enzyme (dimer and tetramer), with the dimer being more stable in regards to thermal inactivation. The effects of the substrate and essential cofactors on the thermostability and equilibrium between the dimeric and tetrameric enzyme forms were also studied. Depending on the pH, NADP+, L-malate, and Mg2+ all had a protective effect on the stability of the dimeric and tetrameric species during thermal treatment. However, these ligands showed different effects on the aggregation state of the enzyme. NADP+ and L-malate induced dissociation, especially at pH 8.0, whereas Mg2+ induced aggregation of the protein. By studying the thermal inactivation kinetics at 50 degrees C and different pH values it was observed that the equilibrium between dimers and tetramers was dramatically affected in the range of pH 7.0-8.0. These results suggest that an amino acid residue(s) in the protein with an apparent pKa value of 7.7 needs to be deprotonated to stabilize aggregation of the enzyme to the tetrameric form.  相似文献

The kinetics of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase were influenced by both the availability of the substrate and formation of micelles. At palmitoyl-CoA concentrations below the critical micelle concentration, addition of non-ionic detergent increased the activity until the critical micelle concentration of the mixed micelles was reached. At palmitoyl-CoA concentrations above the critical micelle concentration, inhibitor of the activity was observed, but addition of detergents of the Triton X series reversed the inhibition. Maximum palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity was found when the ratios (w/v) of palmitoyl-CoA: Triton X-100 and palmitoyl-CoA: Triton X-405 were approximately 0.35 and 0.05, respectively. At these above the mixed critical micelle concentration. The results indicate that monomer palmitoyl-CoA is the substrate and that monomer forms of the non-ionic detergents of the Triton X series activate the enzyme. Isolated microsomal lipids activated the microsomal palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase, suggesting that a hydrophobic environment is advantageous for interaction between enzyme and substrate in vivo. The maximum activity in the presence of mixed micelles is discussed in relation to a model where mixed micelles are regarded as artificial membranes to which the enzyme may adhere in an equilibrium with the monomer substrate and detergent in the monomer form. It is suggested that intracellular membranes may resemble mixed micelles in equilibrium with detergent-active substrates such as palmitoyl-CoA.  相似文献

OXA-14 enzyme, a class D beta-lactamase, gave biphasic kinetics with all penicillin and cephalosporin substrates tested, such that the catalytic rate declined more swiftly than was explicable by substrate depletion. This biphasic behaviour was independent of temperature or extraneous protein but was lost if the enzyme was diluted to occupy almost the total assay volume before addition of a small amount of concentrated substrate. The presence of substrate could partially protect the enzyme against conversion to the less active form, with protection greatest at substrate concentration above the K(m). These observations are compatible with the hypothesis that the biphasic kinetics depended on the enzyme existing as a highly active dimer at high concentration and as a less active monomer at low concentration. Direct evidence supporting this hypothesis came from the observation that gel exclusion chromatography indicated a higher molecular weight for concentrated enzyme than for dilute. Biphasic kinetics are not so universal for different substrates amongst beta-lactamases (OXA-10, -11, -13, -16 and -17) that differ from OXA-14 by only one to two amino acid substitutions. It may be that the monomer:dimer equilibrium is more rapidly achieved with these enzymes than with OXA-14, or that the kinetic properties of the dimers and monomers of these enzymes are similar, masking any biphasic trait.  相似文献

Stabilities of native and cross-linked crystalline forms of Streptomyces rubiginosus glucose isomerase were compared in buffer and in 45% glucose/fructose solutions. The cross-linked crystalline form of the enzyme was more stable in the presence of substrate while in a buffer solution the native enzyme was more stable. Inactivation of native enzyme in buffer did not obey first-order kinetics but proceeded with a rapid first phase followed by a stable phase. This stabilization is interpreted to be a result of a conformational change in the protein structure. Inactivation of the native enzyme in buffer was directly related to protein precipitation. In the presence of high substrate concentration, the inactivation was related to browning reactions between the enzyme and the reactive sugar, resulting in soluble sugar-protein complexes.  相似文献

Guanine deaminase in rat liver and mouse liver and brain   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
1. The guanine deaminase in rat liver supernatant preparations was resolved into two fractions, A and B, on DEAE-cellulose columns. The two differed in electrophoretic mobility and in various properties. The most noteworthy distinction between A and B components was that the enzyme A activity showed a sigmoid dependence on substrate concentration whereas the enzyme B showed classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The K(m) value of enzyme A for guanine was 5.3mum and that of enzyme B 20mum. 2. The entire guanine deaminase activity of mouse liver was contained in the 15000g supernatant of iso-osmotic homogenates. 3. A reinvestigation of the behaviour of rat brain 15000g supernatant guanine deaminase isoenzymes revealed that one enzyme had sigmoidal kinetics and the other enzyme showed a hyperbolic response. 4. Of the guanine deaminase in mouse brain iso-osmotic sucrose homogenate 80% was recovered in the 15000g supernatant and the rest from the particles. The supernatant guanine deaminase was resolvable into two fractions on DEAE-cellulose columns. One enzyme showed sigmoidal kinetics whereas the other showed a hyperbolic response to increasing substrate concentration; the K(m) values for the reaction with guanine were respectively 5 and 66mum. 5. The particulate fractions of mouse liver and brain were devoid of any overt inhibitory activity.  相似文献

Sephadex G-200 gel filtration of an ammonium sulfate fraction, containing the bulk of NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase, yields forms of differing MW. Both Mg2+ and NADH stabilize the 127000 daltons MW form. K+, or incubation with dithioerythritol, cause splitting and partial reaggregation, resulting in MWs ranging between 35000 and 180000 daltons. Chromatography in the presence of dithioerythritol and NADH results in an enzyme with a non-linear reaction rate at low substrate concentrations. Plots of initial velocity vs substrate and cofactor concentration respectively are characterized by two slopes of positive cooperativity separated by an intermediary plateau of negative cooperativity. Gel chromatography in the presence of Mg2+ or K+ or drastic dilution of the enzyme results in an enzyme with linear reaction rates also at low substrate concentration. Its kinetics are consistent with the view that the enzyme undergoes conformational changes when the substrate concentration is varied.  相似文献

The soil amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii contains two lysophospholipases, one soluble and one associated with the plasma membrane. The soluble lysophospholipase shows classical reaction kinetics at substrate concentrations below the apparent critical micelle concentration of lysophosphatidylcholine (about 39 μm). The reaction rate is constant at higher concentrations of substrate as expected for an enzyme that cannot hydrolyze micellar lysophosphatidylcholine. The reaction kinetics are more complex for the plasma membrane-bound enzyme showing two transitions at about 100 and 560 μm. Several possible interpretations of these data are discussed.  相似文献

The kinetic properties of phosphofructokinase with regard to its substrates are discussed. Free ATP is inhibitory to the enzyme while the Mg-ATP complex at a concentration up to 5 mM is not. The kinetics with respect to Mg-ATP follow simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics and this pattern is not affected by changes in concentration of the second substrate fructose-6-phosphate (F6P). The kinetics with respect to F6P showed apparent negative co-operative interactions in the presence of saturating levels of Mg2+ relative to ATP. In the presence of inhibitory levels of free ATP, the kinetics showed positive co-operative interactions. The relationship between the nature of the kinetics of the enzyme with F6P and the various molecular forms of PFK are discussed.  相似文献

The propionyl-CoA condensing enzyme which catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of 2-methylbutyrate and 2-methylvalerate by Ascaris muscle appears to exist in at least three forms in the mitochondria of this parasitic nematode. Two forms, A and B, were separated by ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex. Chromatography on phosphocellulose resulted in the recovery of one minor peak (I) and two major peaks with activity (II and III). A and B as well as I, II, and III differed in their specific activities. Forms B and III were the most retained by their resins, and were the most active forms of the enzyme in each case. Inhibition studies with metabolites from Ascaris mitochondria indicate that CoASH, a product of the condensation reaction, and acetyl-CoA are effective inhibitors of the condensing and thiolytic activities of the Ascaris enzyme, respectively. Incubation of the active enzyme form B for 2 h with 0.1 mM CoASH at room temperature under nitrogen caused the loss of 92% of the propionyl-CoA condensing activity and 67% of the thiolase activity when assayed in standard mixtures. The propionyl-CoA condensing enzyme exhibited a hyperbolic dependence of the condensation velocity to changes in substrate concentration. However, in the presence of CoASH the Michaelis-Menten kinetics was transformed into a sigmoidal kinetics indicating a deviation from a simple product inhibition. Inactivation of the most active forms of the enzyme with CoASH was accompanied by (a) a change in the chemical reactivity of the protein toward p-chloromurcuribenzoate, (b) a change in the uv-visible spectrum of the protein, and (c) a change in the elution patterns from both CM-Sephadex and phosphocellulose column chromatography, where-upon one, two, or more protein peaks were obtained. The several protein peaks resolved by rechromatography of the [14C]CoASH-inactivated enzyme III on phosphocellulose had different CoASH contents. The elution positions were correlated with the less active forms (I and II) having increased [14C]CoASH activities. Similarly, the two peaks isolated upon rechromatography of the CoASH-partially inactivated enzyme B on CM-Sephadex had different isotope contents and the elution position of enzyme A corresponded to the less active form. The results described indicate that the CoASH modification of Ascaris propionyl-CoA condensing enzyme may be responsible for the existence of several forms of the enzyme and might represent a mode of control by chemically modulating the amount of the active forms of the enzyme.  相似文献

The substrate specificity of the different forms of rat liver biliverdin reductase was examined using synthetic biliverdins. Biliverdins carrying methyl, ethyl and one propionate residue in their structure were not substrates of biliverdin reductase. Biliverdins with one propionate and one acetate residue or with two acetate residues were not reduced by the enzyme either. The presence of two propionates in the biliverdin structure gave a biliverdin with substrate activity. Increasing the number of propionates to four, as in coprobiliverdins, did not affect substrate activity, while the octaacid urobiliverdins were also good substrates of the enzymes. The beta isomer of urobiliverdin III and coprobiliverdin III were reduced at much higher rates by molecular form 3 of the enzyme as compared to molecular form 1, a fact which had already been observed with the beta isomer of biliverdins IX, XIII and hematobiliverdin. All the biliverdins mentioned above were readily reduced to bilirubins by sodium borohydride. The purified molecular forms 1 and 3 displayed sigmoidal kinetics with most of the biliverdins tested. The data were analyzed by nonlinear regression in a microcomputer and it was found that they fitted a model of a moderate cooperative dimer where both ES and ES2 are catalytically active. The Vm, Ks and the Hill numbers, nH, for biliverdin IX alpha and beta, hematobiliverdin IX alpha and beta, and several synthetic biliverdin isomers are given. Molecular form 2 showed classical Michaelian kinetics.  相似文献

The activity of phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase, purified from rat brain, against substrate in three forms, (a) multibilayer liposomes, (b) single bilayer vesicles of phosphatidylinositol and (c) phosphatidylinositol oriented as monolayers at the air-water interface, was examined. The reaction rate was similar against the two substrate dispersions prepared with the same phospholipid concentration, although there was a large difference in substrate surface area available to the enzyme, and this similarity could not be accounted for by any differences in the microviscosity of the hydrocarbon region of the phospholipid bilayers. The reaction showed apparent zero-order reaction kinetics until about 10% of the substrate had been degraded, whereupon the rate decreased. The reaction against monolayers of phosphatidylinositol was linear throughout the entire digestion of the film, provided that more than 0.25 mg of enzyme was present in the subphase. The pH optimum was 6.6. Bivalent ions )Ca2+, Mg2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Mn2+) facilitated enzyme penetration into substrate monolayers, but the enzyme was only activated by Ca2+ (optimal concentration, 1mM) and to a lesser extent by Mg2+. The reaction rate was independent of initial surface pressures of less than about 22mN-m(-1) but at higher pressures the rate decreased. This decrease could be prevented by the addition of 10mol of octadecylamine/90mol of phosphatidylinositol to the substrate monolayer; the amine did not increase the rate of reaction in films of less than 22mN-m(-1).  相似文献

A kinetic model is proposed for catalysis by an enzyme that has several special characteristics: (i) it catalyses an acyl-transfer bi-substrate reaction between two identical molecules of substrate, (ii) the substrate is an amphiphilic molecule that can be present in two physical forms, namely monomers and micelles, and (iii) the reaction progresses through an acyl-enzyme-based mechanism and the covalent intermediate can react also with water to yield a secondary hydrolytic reaction. The theoretical kinetic equations for both reactions were deduced according to steady-state assumptions and the theoretical plots were predicted. The experimental kinetics of lysophosphatidylcholine:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase from rabbit lung fitted the proposed equations with great accuracy. Also, kinetics of inhibition by products behaved as expected. It was concluded that the competition between two nucleophiles for the covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate, and not a different enzyme action depending on the physical state of the substrate, is responsible for the differences in kinetic pattern for the two activities of the enzyme. This conclusion, together with the fact that the kinetic equation for the transacylation is quadratic, generates a 'hysteretic' pattern that can provide the basis of self-regulatory properties for enzymes to which this model could be applied.  相似文献

In this work the two interconvertible forms of inorganic pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.1) of Streptococcus faecalis were shown to differ in kinetics. The highly active form of the enzyme was more sensitive to the changes in the Mg2+ concentration, and thus also more sensitive to the inhibition caused by ATP, which competes with PPi for the chelation of Mg2+ ions. We have previously described a kinetic model for the less-active form of S. faecalis inorganic pyrophosphatase [Lahti & Jokinen (1985) Biochemistry 24, 3526-3530]. The kinetic model of the highly active enzyme form is proposed to be a modification of the model of the less-active form in which enzyme activation by free Mg2+ is necessary for the reaction to occur. In this model the enzyme exists in two states, referred to as R- and T-states. In the absence of ligands the enzyme is in the T-state. R-state, i.e. the catalytically active state, exists only in the presence of free Mg2+. Mg1PPi2- is the primary substrate, and free pyrophosphate is a weak inhibitor that cannot serve as a substrate for the highly active form of S. faecalis inorganic pyrophosphatase. This model closely resembles that previously presented for yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase.  相似文献

Hydrolysis of several N alpha-substituted L-arginine 4-nitroanilides with porcine pancreatic kallikrein was studied under different conditions of pH, temperature, and salt concentration. At high substrate concentrations a deviation from Michaelis-Menten kinetics was observed with a significant increase in the hydrolysis rates of almost all substrates. Kinetic data were analyzed on the assumption that porcine pancreatic kallikrein presents an additional binding site with lower affinity for the substrate. Binding to this auxiliary site gives rise to a modulated enzyme species which can hydrolyze an additional molecule of the substrate through a second catalytic pathway. The values of both Michaelis-Menten and catalytic rate constants were higher for the modulated species than for the free enzyme, suggesting a mechanism of enzyme activation by substrate. Kinetic data indicated similar substrate requirements for binding at the primary and auxiliary sites of the enzyme. Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride and NaCl were shown to alter the kinetic parameters of the hydrolysis of N alpha-acetyl-L-Phe-L-Arg 4-nitroanilide by porcine pancreatic kallikrein but not the enzyme activation pattern (ratio of the catalytic constants for the activated and the free enzyme forms). Similar observations were made when the hydrolysis of D-Val-L-Leu-L-Arg 4-nitroanilide was studied under different pH and temperature conditions.  相似文献

The present study reports the first purification and kinetic characterization of two plant arogenate dehydrogenases (EC 1.3.1.43), an enzyme that catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of arogenate into tyrosine in presence of NADP. The two Arabidopsis thaliana arogenate dehydrogenases TyrAAT1 and TyrAAT2 were overproduced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Biochemical comparison of the two forms revealed that at low substrate concentration TyrAAT1 is four times more efficient in catalyzing the arogenate dehydrogenase reaction than TyrAAT2. Moreover, TyrAAT2 presents a weak prephenate dehydrogenase activity whereas TyrAAT1 does not. The mechanism of the dehydrogenase reaction catalyzed by these two forms has been investigated using steady-state kinetics. For both enzymes, steady-state velocity patterns are consistent with a rapid equilibrium, random mechanism in which two dead-end complexes, E-NADPH-arogenate and E-NADP-tyrosine, are formed.  相似文献
