The method of small-angle X-ray scattering was employed to analyse the equilibrium enzyme-substrate complexes in solution. A new approach of analysis of the experimental data was developed. This type of analysis provides the determination of dissociation constants and structural parameters of enzyme-substrate complexes. The radius of gyration (Rg) and dimensions of half-axis of the equivalent prolonged ellipsoid (a, b) of E. coliphenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase and its complexes with one or two tRNA(Phe) molecules have been determined. The values of these parameters speak in favour of structural rearrangements due to the interaction of the enzyme with tRNA(Phe). The thermodynamic characteristics of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase complexes with tRNA(Phe) testify to the negative cooperativity in binding of two tRNA molecules with the enzyme. 相似文献

Interaction of DNA-(N4-cytosine)-methyltransferase from the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BamHI MTase, 49 kDa) with a 20-mer oligonucleotide duplex containing the palindrome recognition site GGATCC was studied by methods of steady-state and presteady-state kinetics of the methyl group transfer, gel retardation, and crosslinking of the enzyme subunits with glutaric aldehyde. In steady-state conditions, BamHI MTase displays a simple kinetic behavior toward a 20-mer oligonucleotide substrate. A linear dependence was observed for the reaction rate on the enzyme concentration and a Michaelis dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of both substrates: S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), the methyl group donor, and DNA, the methyl group acceptor. In independent experiments, the concentration of the 20-mer duplex or SAM was changed, the enzyme concentration being substantially lower then the concentrations of substrates. The kcat values determined in these conditions are in good agreement with one another and approximately equal to 0.05 s-1. The Km values for the duplex and SAM are 0.35 and 1.6 microM, respectively. An analysis of single turnover kinetics (at limiting concentration of the 20-mer oligonucleotide duplex) revealed the following characteristics of the BamHI MTase-dependent methylation of DNA. The value of rate constant of the DNA methylation step at the enzyme saturating concentration is on average 0.085 s-1, which is only 1.6 times higher than the value determined in steady-state conditions. Only one of two target cytidine residues was methylated in the course of the enzyme single turnover, which coincides with the earlier data on EcoRI MTase. Regardless of the order of the enzyme preincubation with SAM and DNA, both curves for the single turnover methylation are comparable. These results are consistent with the model of the random order of the productive ternary enzyme-substrate complex formation. In contrast to the relatively simple kinetic behavior of BamHI MTase in the steady-state reaction are the data on the enzyme binding of DNA. In gel retardation experiments, there was no stoichiometrically simple complexes with the oligonucleotide duplex even at low enzyme concentrations. The molecular mass of the complexes was so high that they did not enter 12% PAG. In experiments on crosslinking of the BamHI MTase subunits, it was shown that the enzyme in a free state exists as a dimer. Introduction of substoichiometric amounts of DNA into the reaction mixture results in pronounced multimerization of the enzyme. However, addition of SAM in saturating concentration at an excess of the oligonucleotide duplex over BamHI MTase converts most of the enzyme into a monomeric state. 相似文献

Interaction of T4 DNA-(N6-adenine)-methyltransferase [EC 2.1.1] was studied with a variety of synthetic oligonucleotide substrates containing the native recognition site GATC or its modified variants. The data obtained in the decisecond and second intervals of the reaction course allowed for the first time the substrate methylation rates to be compared with the parameters of the steady-state reaction. It was established that the substrate reaction proceeds in two stages. Because it is shown that in steady-state conditions T4 MTase forms a dimeric structure, the following sequence of events is assumed. Upon collision of a T4 MTase monomer with an oligonucleotide duplex, an asymmetrical complex forms in which the enzyme randomly oriented relative to one of the strands of the specific recognition site catalyzes a fast transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to the adenosine residue (k1 = 0.21 s-1). Simultaneously, a second T4 MTase subunit is added to the complex, providing for the continuation of the reaction. In the course of a second stage, which is by an order of magnitude slower (k2 = 0.023 s-1 for duplex with the native site), the dimeric T4 MTase switches over to the second strand and the methylation of the second residue, target. The rate of the methyl group transfer from donor, S-adenosylmethionine, to DNA is much higher than the overall rate of the T4 MTase-catalyzed steady-state reaction, although this difference is considerably less than that shown for EcoRI Mtase. Substitutions of bases and deletions in the recognition site affect the substrate parameters in different fashions. When the GAT sequence is disrupted, the proportion of the initial productive enzyme-substrate complexes is usually sharply reduced. The flipping of the adenosine residue, a target for the modification in the recognition site, revealed by fluorescence titration, upon interaction with the enzyme supports the existing notions about the involvement of such a DNA deformation in reactions catalyzed by various DNA-MTases. 相似文献

The authors studies pH-dependencies of the kinetic parameters (Vm, KM, Vm/KM) and constants of competitive inhibition by phenylacetic acid of penicillinamidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin. The experimental data are in agreement with the assumption according to which there are 3 equilibrium ionogenic forms of the enzyme and enzyme-substrate (or enzyme-inhibitor) complexes, i.e. acidic, neutral and alkaline, the neutral form being the only active form of the Michaelis complex. Values of pK in the ionogenic groups controlling interconversions of both the free enzyme (pK1 6.1 and pK2 7.6) and of the enzyme-substrate complex (pKa 6.1 and pK2 10.2 or the enzyzme-inhibitor complex (pK'1 6.1 and pK'2 9.5) were determined. From this and the previously published results it was concluded that the group with pK 6.1 was involved in the catalysis and the group with pK 10.2 in the maintenance of the active conformation of the active centre of penicillinamidase. The ionogenic group with pK 7.6 was apparently involved in the enzyme-substrate binding. 相似文献

The action of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase [EC 4.3.1.5] on a series of para-substituted l-phenylalanines has been investigated. Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to relate the logs of kcat, Km, and to substituent parameters for electron withdrawal, hydrophobic bonding, and size. The inhibitory action of the enantiomeric d-phenylalanines was also investigated. The results indicate that the rate-limiting step is not subsequent to the release of cinnamate from the enzyme. Explanations for the observed regression constants are discussed in terms of the influence of the substituent parameters on the dissociation constant for the bound substrate, the rate-limiting step, and intermediate steps such as the elimination process. The discussion utilizes a new theoretical treatment of the application of linear free-energy relationships to steady-state enzyme kinetics. It is shown that, in order to interpret structure-activity correlations in terms of rate and equilibrium constants for an unbranched catalytic sequence, a restricted model must apply. The reaction must have a single rate-limiting step so that quasi-equilibrium conditions prevail. In the QE-DS (quasi-equilibrium dominant-state) model, a single state of the enzyme-substrate complex is assumed to predominate. In the QE-FR (quasi-equilibrium fixed-ratio) model, changes in the enzyme substituents are assumed not to alter the ratio between the different forms of the enzyme-substrate complex prior to the rate-limiting step. 相似文献

Fluorine nmr experiments carried out at 51.0 and 94.1 MHz have been used to explore the interaction of the probe molecule p-fluorocinnamate with conjugates formed from α-chymotrypsin and poly(N-acryloyl-β-alanine). The data obtained include enzyme-induced chemical-shift effects, spin-lattice (R1) and transverse (R2) relaxation rates, and the rate constant for dissociation of the fluorocinnamate–enzyme complexes. Analysis of the results indicates that while overall molecular tumbling of the enzyme molecule is not greatly changed by attachment of polymers of various sizes, conjugated polymer can appreciably affect the structure of the p-fluorocinnamate binding site. The important variable involved in such structural changes appears to be the amount of polymer present per mole of protein. 相似文献

NMR spectroscopy has proved to be a valuable tool in the study of the interactions between enzymes and their substrates. The
kinds of structural and dynamic information which can be obtained are illustrated by studies of three enzymes involved in
drug metabolism. Cytochromes P450 play a crucial role in metabolism of a wide range of exogenous chemicals. NMR has been used to measure distances from the
haem iron of the cytochrome to protons of the bound substrate, leading to detailed structural models for the enzyme-substrate
complexes. The other two enzymes, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase and β-lactamase, are responsible for bacterial resistance
to specific antibiotics. In chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, NMR has been used to determine the conformation of coenzyme
A bound to the enzyme, while in the case of β-lactamase the pK of a specific lysine residue at the active site has been determined,
providing valuable information on the catalytic mechanism.

A theoretical discussion of the decomposition rate constants of enzyme substrate complexes is presented, based upon an enzyme model published earlier (Damjanovich &; Somogyi,1973). These rate constants are expressed by the aid of molecular parameters characteristic for the enzyme-substrate complexes and the molecules in the surrounding liquid phase.Both the exponential and pre-exponential factors of the expressions describing the composition rate constants contain parameters depending on the mass distribution of the reaction mixture in a specific way which is characteristic for the enzyme-substrate complex. The findings suggest a new kind of the enzyme regulation generated by the surrounding medium. 相似文献

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the internal structure of wheat starch granules with different amylose content. Different approaches were used for treatment (interpretation) of SAXS data to assess the values of structural parameters of amylopectin clusters and the size of crystalline and amorphous lamella in different wheat starches. The average values of the semi-crystalline growth rings thickness in starches have been determined and the relationship between structural characteristics and thermodynamic melting parameters is discussed. 相似文献

In humans, the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) is expressed in late stages of the innate immune response to viral infection by the interferon pathway. PKR consists of tandem dsRNA binding motifs (dsRBMs) connected via a flexible linker to a Ser/Thr kinase domain. Upon interaction with viral dsRNA, PKR is converted into a catalytically active enzyme capable of phosphorylating a number of target proteins that often results in host cell translational repression. A number of high-resolution structural studies involving individual dsRBMs from proteins other than PKR have highlighted the key features required for interaction with perfectly duplexed RNA substrates. However, viral dsRNA molecules are highly structured and often contain deviations from perfect A-form RNA helices. By use of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we present solution conformations of the tandem dsRBMs of PKR in complex with two imperfectly base-paired viral dsRNA stem–loops; HIV-1 TAR and adenovirus VAI-AS. Both individual components and complexes were purified by size exclusion chromatography and characterized by dynamic light scattering at multiple concentrations to ensure monodispersity. SAXS ab initio solution conformations of the individual components and RNA–protein complexes were determined and highlight the potential of PKR to interact with both stem and loop regions of the RNA. Excellent agreement between experimental and model-based hydrodynamic parameter determination heightens our confidence in the obtained models. Taken together, these data support and provide a framework for the existing biochemical data regarding the tolerance of imperfectly base-paired viral dsRNA by PKR. 相似文献

For beta-amylolysis, the number of bonds split per effective enzyme-substrate encounter has been determined with amyloses having various degrees of polymerization (d.p.), labelled with 14C. The degradation is shifted in the direction of the “single chain mechanism” with increasing d.p. By taking into account the “inactive, non-reacting” collisions leading to “self-inhibition”, the number of bonds split per “reactive” and “non-reactive” enzyme-substrate encounter was established. From these data, and from the inhibition constant of the inner D-glucose residues of the amylose chain, in conjunction with the Michaelis constant extrapolated to d.p. 4, the actual rate constants for the formation and dissociation of the “reactive” enzyme-substrate complexes and for the formation and dissociation of the “non-reactive” enzyme-substrate complexes were determined. It was found that the rate constants for the formation of the “reactive” complexes decrease slowly with the increase of “self-inhibition”, whereas those for the dissociation of these complexes decrease to a greater extent. 相似文献

Laminarinase is commonly used to describe β-1,3-glucanases widespread throughout Archaea, bacteria, and several eukaryotic lineages. Some β-1,3-glucanases have already been structurally and biochemically characterized, but very few from organisms that are in contact with genuine laminarin, the storage polysaccharide of brown algae. Here we report the heterologous expression and subsequent biochemical and structural characterization of ZgLamAGH16 from Zobellia galactanivorans, the first GH16 laminarinase from a marine bacterium associated with seaweeds. ZgLamAGH16 contains a unique additional loop, compared with other GH16 laminarinases, which is composed of 17 amino acids and gives a bent shape to the active site cleft of the enzyme. This particular topology is perfectly adapted to the U-shaped conformation of laminarin chains in solution and thus explains the predominant specificity of ZgLamAGH16 for this substrate. The three-dimensional structure of the enzyme and two enzyme-substrate complexes, one with laminaritetraose and the other with a trisaccharide of 1,3–1,4-β-d-glucan, have been determined at 1.5, 1.35, and 1.13 Å resolution, respectively. The structural comparison of substrate recognition pattern between these complexes allows the proposition that ZgLamAGH16 likely diverged from an ancestral broad specificity GH16 β-glucanase and evolved toward a bent active site topology adapted to efficient degradation of algal laminarin. 相似文献

Many processes in the regulation of gene expression and signaling involve the formation of protein complexes involving multi-domain proteins. Individual domains that mediate protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions are typically connected by flexible linkers, which contribute to conformational dynamics and enable the formation of complexes with distinct binding partners. Solution techniques are therefore required for structural analysis and to characterize potential conformational dynamics. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) provides such information but often only sparse data are obtained with increasing molecular weight of the complexes. It is therefore beneficial to combine NMR data with additional structural restraints from complementary solution techniques. Small angle X-ray/neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) data can be efficiently combined with NMR-derived information, either for validation or by providing additional restraints for structural analysis. Here, we show that the combination of SAXS and SANS data can help to refine structural models obtained from data-driven docking using HADDOCK based on sparse NMR data. The approach is demonstrated with the ternary protein-protein-RNA complex involving two RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains of Sex-lethal, the N-terminal cold shock domain of Upstream-to-N-Ras, and msl-2 mRNA. Based on chemical shift perturbations we have mapped protein-protein and protein-RNA interfaces and complemented this NMR-derived information with SAXS data, as well as SANS measurements on subunit-selectively deuterated samples of the ternary complex. Our results show that, while the use of SAXS data is beneficial, the additional combination with contrast variation in SANS data resolves remaining ambiguities and improves the docking based on chemical shift perturbations of the ternary protein-RNA complex. 相似文献

Shape and subunit organisation of the DNA methyltransferase M.AhdI by small-angle neutron scattering 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Type I restriction-modification (R-M) systems encode multisubunit/multidomain enzymes. Two genes (M and S) are required to form the methyltransferase (MTase) that methylates a specific base within the recognition sequence and protects DNA from cleavage by the endonuclease. The DNA methyltransferase M.AhdI is a 170 kDa tetramer with the stoichiometry M(2)S(2) and has properties typical of a type I MTase. The M.AhdI enzyme has been prepared with deuterated S subunits, to allow contrast variation using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) methods. The SANS data were collected in a number of (1)H:(2)H solvent contrasts to allow matching of one or other of the subunits in the multisubunit enzyme. The radius of gyration (R(g)) and maximum dimensions (D(max)) of the M subunits in situ in the multisubunit enzyme (50 A and 190 A, respectively) are close of those of the entire MTase (51 A and 190 A). In contrast, the S subunits in situ have experimentally determined values of R(g)=35 A and D(max)=110 A, indicating their more central location in the enzyme. Ab initio reconstruction methods yield a low-resolution structural model of the shape and subunit organization of M.AhdI, in which the Z-shaped structure of the S subunit dimer can be discerned. In contrast, the M subunits form a much more elongated and extended structure. The core of the MTase comprises the two S subunits and the globular regions of the two M subunits, with the extended portion of the M subunits most probably forming highly mobile regions at the outer extremities, which collapse around the DNA when the MTase binds. 相似文献

Inhibition kinetics of green crab (Scylla serrata) alkaline phosphatase activity by dithiothreitol or 2-mercaptoethanol 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Green crab (Scylla serrata) alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) is a metalloenzyme which catalyzes the nonspecific hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters. Some pollutants in seawater affect the enzyme activity causing loss of the biological function of the enzyme, which affects the exuviating crab-shell and threatens the survival of the animal. The present paper studies the effects of thiohydroxyal compounds on the activity of green crab alkaline phosphatase. The results show that thiohydroxyal compounds can lead to reversible inhibition. The equilibrium constants have been determined for dithiothreitol (DTT) and mercaptoethanol (ME) binding with the enzyme and/or the enzyme-substrate complexes. The results show that both DTT and ME are non-competitive inhibitors. The kinetics of enzyme inactivation by ME at low concentrations has been studied using the kinetic method of the substrate reaction. The results suggest that at pH 10.0, the action of ME on green crab ALP is first quick equilibrium binding and then slow inactivation. The microscopic rate constants were determined for inactivation and reactivation. The rate constant of the forward inactivation (k(+0)) is much larger than that of the reverse reactivation (k(-0)). Therefore, when the ME concentration is sufficiently large, the enzyme is completely inactivated. 相似文献

Lactoferrin (LF) is a multifunctional acute-phase protein involved in nonspecific defense against bacteria, viruses, and cancer diseases and is present in human barrier fluids, blood, and milk. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and light scattering (LS) demonstrated for the first time that LF occurs in the form of oligomers, with a high monomer unit number in the solution. The degree of LF oligomerization depends on the LF concentration and the storage period of non-frozen neutral LF solutions. The average inertial radius of scattering particles (R g) reaches 100–450 Å at LF concentrations comparable with those in human milk, while R g of LF monomers is 26.7 Å. LF forms complexes with various nucleotides and hydrolyzes them. The addition of ATP or AMP to LF solutions accelerates LF oligomerization and increases R g to 600–700 Å, regardless of the initial degree of LF oligomerization. According to the different models (sphere, plate, and cylinder) of LF aggregates, its complexes with such R g presumably contain several tens to thousands of LF monomers. The possible role of oligomeric complexes in multiple biological functions of LF is discussed. 相似文献

The E. coli DNA photolyase is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the photoreversal of pyrimidine dimers. The enzyme binds to DNA containing pyrimidine dimers in a light-independent step and repairs the dimer upon absorbing a photon in the 300-600 nm range. The rate and equilibrium constants for the light-independent reaction were determined before, using randomly modified substrates that contained T mean value of T, T mean value of C and C mean value of C dimers in random sequence surrounding. In this paper we have determined these constants for a defined substrate (a 43 bp oligomer containing a T mean value of T dimer) using the gel retardation assay. We find that: the equilibrium constant and the off rate obtained with this substrate by this technique are similar to those obtained with randomly modified DNA using filter binding and flash photolysis techniques. the off rate with the defined substrate is heterogeneous indicating heterogeneity in the enzyme population or in the enzyme-substrate complexes, and the enzyme has 7.5 X 10(4)-fold higher affinity for pyrimidine dimer compared to non-dimer DNA nucleotides. 相似文献
