The glutamine-dependent activity of Serratia marcescens anthranilate synthase was inactivated by pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and sodium cyanide. The reaction was specific in that the ammonia-dependent activity of the enzyme was unaffected. The inactivation was stable to dilution or dialysis but was reversed by dithiothreitol. The enzyme contains dissimilar subunits designated anthranilate synthase components I (AS I) and II (AS II). Incorporation of [14C]NaCN demonstrates that modification was limited to one to two residues per AS I · AS II protomer. An active site cysteine is involved in the glutamine-dependent activity. Modification by pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and NaCN blocked affinity labeling of the active site cysteine by the glutamine analog 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine and reduced alkylation of the active site cysteine by iodoacetamide. These results suggest modification is at the glutamine active site. Initial modification by iodoacetamide did not prevent pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-dependent incorporation of 14CN showing that the pyridoxal 5′-phosphate modification did not involve the essential cysteinyl residue. These results suggest that modification of a lysyl residue in the glutamine active site of anthranilate synthase reduces the reactivity of the essential cysteinyl residue resulting in the loss of the amidotransferase activity.  相似文献

The rat liver glucocorticoid receptor has been eluted from DNA-cellulose with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate at low ionic strength. This elution is concentration dependent with 80–90% of the receptor eluted in 30 rain at 0 °C when the concentration of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is 10 mm. This elution is specific for the 4′-aldehyde group of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate since vitamin B6 analogs lacking this group are inactive in eluting the steroid-receptor complex from DNA-cellulose. Receptor has also been eluted from rat liver nuclei with similar results. The receptor eluted with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate has been compared with the receptor eluted with 0.45 m NaCl. Both methods of elution yield a steroid-receptor complex which sediments at about 3.7 S. The pyridoxal 5′-phosphate-eluted receptor however, is less prone to aggregation at low ionic strength and more stable with respect to steroid binding than the 0.45 m NaCl-eluted steroid-receptor complex. The complement of proteins eluted from DNA-cellulose with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is very similar to that eluted with NaCl as assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.  相似文献

Effects of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate on the activity of crude and purified acetylcholinesterase from cerebral hemispheres of adult rat brain were examined. Acetylcholinesterase was completely inactivated by incubation with 0.5 mM pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The enzyme activity remained unaltered in the presence of analogs of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity by pyridoxal 5′-phosphate appeared to be of a noncompetitive nature, as determined by Lineweaver-Burk analysis. The inhibitory effect of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate on acetylcholinesterase appeared to be a general one, as the activity of the enzyme from the brains of immature chick and egg-laying hen, and from different tissues of the adult male rats, exhibited a similar pattern in the presence of the inhibitor. The inhibitory effects of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate could be reversed upon exhaustive dialysis of the pyridoxan 5′-phosphate-treated acetylcholinesterase preparations. We propose that the effects of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate are due to its interaction with acetylcholinesterase, and that it can be employed as a useful tool for studying biochemical aspects of this important brain enzyme.  相似文献

It is important to improve the quality of the enzyme inulinase used in industrial applications without allowing the treatment to have any adverse effects on enzyme activity. We achieved preferential chemical modification of the non-catalytic domain of endoinulinase (EC 3.2.1.7) to enhance the thermostability of the enzyme. We used pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) to modify the more accessible lysine residues at the surface of endoinulinase and then performed a necessary step of reduction with ascorbate. Endoinulinase was incubated in the presence of PLP at various concentrations; this step was followed by reduction of the resulting Schiff base and dialysis. The effects of different PLP concentrations and incubation times on enzyme modification were evaluated. Enzyme deactivation was observed immediately after treatment, even at low PLP concentrations, while reactivation was observed for samples treated with low PLP concentrations after a period of time. Structural analysis revealed that the α-helix content increased from 13.60% to 17.60% after applying the modification strategy; consequently, enzyme stabilization was achieved. The melting temperature (Tm) of the modified enzyme increased from 64.1 °C to 72.2 °C, and a comparative study of thermal stability at 25 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C for 150 min confirmed that the enzyme was stabilized because of increase in its half-life (t1/2) after PLP modification/ascorbate reduction. The modification process was optimized to achieve the optimum mole ratio for the PLP/endoinulinase (1.37). Excess moles of the modifier are thought to be responsible for enzyme deactivation through unwanted/nonspecific and noncovalent interactions, and the optimization ensured that there was no excess modifier after the desired covalent reaction was complete.  相似文献

A number of proteases have been immobilized on alumina in a two-step procedure: the first step converted them into semisynthetic phosphoproteins which, in the second step, spontaneously bonded to alumina through their phosphate function. The immobilized enzymes thus obtained showed the physical properties typical of the inorganic carrier and a high activity on low molecular weight substrates.  相似文献

Homogeneous D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase from Rhodospirillum rubrum, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and Hydrogenomonas eutropha are inhibited by low concentrations of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. In the case of the enzyme from Rhodospirillum rubrum, this inhibition is strongly antagonized by the substrate, D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate. These results suggest that pyridoxal 5′-phosphate may act close to or at the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate binding site of the enzyme from Rhodospirillum rubrum.  相似文献

The H4 and M4 isoenzymes of pig lactate dehydrogenase are both inactivated by reaction with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. In the early stages, inactivation is largely reversible by the addition of lysine in excess, but may be made irreversible by reduction with borohydride. This indicates that modification of lysine residues probably causes the initial inactivation. Both isoenzymes also undergo a slower process of irreversible inactivation which becomes more evident with increasing concentrations of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and higher temperature. Although coenzymes give only partial protection of enzyme activity, they nevertheless completely prevent irreversible inactivation. Neither pyruvate nor lactate alone gives any protection. With the M4 isoenzyme, complete protection against inactivation by pyridoxal 5′-phosphate may be achieved in ternary complexes, but no conditions have been found for complete protection of the H4 isoenzyme. In the course of irreversible inactivation of H4 lactate dehydrogenase, complete loss of activity can be correlated with the loss of approximately two free thiol groups per subunit. Present findings with regard to the importance of temperature and reagent concentration in determining the outcome of the chemical modification appear to resolve earlier controversy.  相似文献

Incubation of the nonphosphorylated form of maize-leaf phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (orthophosphate: oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (phosphorylating), PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) with the reagent pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) resulted in time-dependent, reversible inactivation and desensitization to the activator glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P) and other related phosphorylated compounds. Both processes are not connected, since (i) when the PLP-modification was carried out in the presence of saturating ligands of the active site, which prevents inactivation, the desensitization to Glc6P is still observed, and (ii) under some experimental conditions the desensitization reaction is 4-times faster than the inactivation. Desensitization to Glc6P is first order with respect to PLP and has a second-order forward rate constant of 4.7±0.3 s−1 M−1 and a first-order reverse rate constant of 0.0046±0.0002 s−1. Correlation studies between the remaining Glc6P sensitivity and mol of PLP residues incorporated per mol of enzyme subunit indicate that one lysyl group for enzyme monomer is involved in the sensitivity of the enzyme to Glc6P. The reactivity of this group is increased by polyethylene glycol and glycerol, while the reactivity of the lysyl group of the active site is not affected by these organic cosolutes. In the presence but not in the absence of the organic cosolutes, Glc6P by itself offers significant protection against desensitization, while increases the extent of inactivation. Free PEP or PEP-Mg have opposite effects, protecting the enzyme against inactivation and increasing the degree of desensitization. They also increases the protection against desensitization afforded by Glc6P. Finally, the PEPC inhibitor malate provides some protection against both inactivation and desensitization. Taken together, these results are consistent with PLP-modification of a highly reactive lysyl group at or near the allosteric Glc6P-site.  相似文献

Pyridoxamine (pyridoxine) 5′-phosphate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.5) purified from rabbit liver is competitively inhibited by the reaction product, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The Ki, 3 μM, is considerably lower than the Km for either natural substrate (18 and 24 μM for pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate and 25 and 16 μM for pyridoxine 5′-phosphate in 0.2 M potassium phosphate at pH 8 and 7, respectively). The Ki determined using a 10% rabbit liver homogenate is the same as that for the pure enzyme; hence, product inhibition invivo is probably not diminished significantly by other cellular components. Similar determinations for a 10% rat liver homogenate also show strong inhibition by pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. Since the reported liver content of free or loosely bound pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is greater than Ki, the oxidase in liver is probably associated with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. These results also suggest that product inhibition of pyridoxamine-P oxidase may regulate the invivo rate of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate formation.  相似文献

Summary Template-directed oligomerization of an activated derivative of 3-isoadenosine 5-phosphate (piA) on polyuridylic acid [poly(U)] was studied. The reaction of ImpiA is more efficient than the corresponding reaction of ImpA, and produces 3–5-linked oligomers while the reaction of ImpA gives only 2–5-linked oligomers. The base pairing between piA and poly(U) in this system is probably of the Hoogsteen type (involving the 6-amino group and N7 of 3-isoadenosine) rather than of the Watson-Crick type.  相似文献

Summary The accessibility of pyridoxal 5′-phosphates of the phosphorylaseab hybrid to resolution by imidazole citrate and cysteine was studied and compared with that of theb anda forms. Promotion of resolution of phosphorylated forms by raising the temperature or in the presence of glycogen indicates that the resistance of phosphorylasea andab to resolution at 0°C is due rather to their tetrameric state than their phosphorylation-related active conformation. The pattern of resolution of theab hybrid was similar to that of thea and differed from that of theb forms in that it occurred at 30°C and 37°C but not at 0°C, moreover, it did not show first-order kinetics. On the other hand, inhibition of resolution by ligands binding to the nucleotide site of phosphorylase reflected an intermediate sensitivity of theab form between that of theb anda forms. We conclude that partial phosphorylation of phosphorylaseb elicits conformational change(s) in both subunits which influence the monomer-monomer interactions and resolution of pyridoxal 5′-phosphates. Resistance ofab hybrid to monomerizing agents as imidazole citrate, comparable to that of other forms, argues for its stability, ruling out its reshuffling into mixtures of phosphorylaseb anda.  相似文献

Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) and CO2 were competitive for the same site on d-ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39), presumably an ?-amino group of a lysyl residue. An apparent noncompetitive inhibition occurred with respect to ribulose bisphosphate (RuP2). The time course of inactivation was first order with respect to both PLP and RuP2 carboxylase concentration. The extinction coefficient was found to be 5800 ± 800 m?1 cm?1 for the maximal absorbance at 432 nm of the enzyme/PLP Schiff base. The titration of the enzyme with PLP gave a biphasic double reciprocal plot. The number of amino groups reacting with PLP was calculated to be 9.5 and 19 per molecule of enzyme, at low and high concentrations of PLP. Half of the amino groups available for reaction with PLP at either concentration could be protected by RuP2. When the RuP2 carboxylase/PLP complex was reduced with NaBH4 in the absence of substrates, only 20% of the enzyme activity was recovered, but, in the presence of RuP2 or bicarbonate, the recovery of enzyme activity was 80 or 25%, respectively. It is concluded that there are eight primary groups that react with PLP, one at each of the eight catalytic sites of the RuP2 carboxylase molecule. It is postulated that this amine is essential for formation and/or activation of an enzyme/CO2 complex. In the absence of CO2, this amine may react with the carbonyl function of RuP2. This provides an explanation for the inactivation of RuP2 carboxylase upon preincubation with RuP2 in the absence of CO2 and even the inactivation of the activated enzyme at RuP2 concentrations above 0.5 mm. The second set of eight primary amino groups which react with PLP may involve the CO2 regulatory site.  相似文献

We describe time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of 5-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5MedCyd). The assay is based on the use of a highly specific antiserum raised in rabbits against BSA-conjugated 5-methylcytidine (5MeCyd). The tracer in the solid-phase time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) was antigen-selected anti-5MedCyd labeled with Europium. Thyroglobulin-linked 5MeCyd served as the solid-phase antigen. The measuring range for the fluoroimmunoassay was from less than 1 to 5000 pmol per assay of 5MedCyd. A good correlation between the results obtained with the TR-FIA and HPLC was demonstrated when the methods were applied to the measurement of methylation in human leukemic cells and other DNA samples. TR-FIA has several advantages over the more laborious techniques available so far: (i) high sensitivity, (ii) large assay ranges, (iii) rapidity and large number of simultaneous assays, (iv) simplicity, and (v) low cost provided that the laboratory has equipment for time-resolved fluorometry.  相似文献

1. The alpha and beta subforms of aspartate aminotransferase were purified from pig heart. 2. The alpha subform contained 2mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The apo-(alpha subform) could be fully reactived by combination with 2mol of cofactor. 3. The protein fluorescence of the apo-(alpha subform) decreased non-linearly with increase in enzyme activity and concentration of bound cofactor. 4. It is concluded that the enzyme activity/mol of bound cofactor is largely independent of the number of cofactors bound to the dimer. 5. The beta subform had approximately half the specific enzyme activity of the alpha subform, and contained an average of one active pyridoxal 5'-phosphate molecule per molecule, which could be removed by glutamate, and another inactive cofactor which could only be removed with NaOH. 6. On recombination with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate the protein fluorescence of the apo-(beta subform) decreased linearly, showing that each dimeric enzyme molecule contained one active and one inactive bound cofactor. 7. The results are not consistent with a flip-flop mechanism for this enzyme.  相似文献

5′-Triphosphate 2′-5′-oligoadenylate (2–5A) is the central player in the 2–5A system that is an innate immunity pathway in response to the presence of infectious agents. Intracellular endoribonuclease RNase L activated by 2–5A cleaves viral and cellular RNA resulting in apoptosis. The major limitations of 2–5A for therapeutic applications is the short biological half-life and poor cellular uptake. Modification of 2–5A with biolabile and lipophilic groups that facilitate its uptake, increase its in vivo stability and release the parent 2–5A drug in an intact form offer an alternative approach to therapeutic use of 2–5A. Here we have synthesized the trimeric and tetrameric 2–5A species bearing hydrophobic and enzymolabile pivaloyloxymethyl groups at 3′-positions and a triphosphate at the 5′-end. Both analogs were able to activate RNase L and the production of the trimer 2–5A (the most active) was scaled up to the milligram scale for antiviral evaluation in cells infected by influenza virus or respiratory syncytial virus. The trimer analog demonstrated some significant antiviral activity.  相似文献

Kinases and phosphatases are key enzymes in cell signal transduction pathways. Imbalances in these enzymes have been linked to numerous disease states ranging from cancer to diabetes to autoimmune disorders. The two isoforms (IFA and IFB) of Low Molecular Weight Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (LMW-PTP) appear to play a role in these diseases. Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) has been shown to act as a potent but, impractical micromolar inhibitor for both isoforms. In this study, a series of non-hydrolysable phosphonate analogs of PLP were designed, synthesized and tested against the two isoforms of LMW-PTP. Assay results demonstrated that the best inhibitor for both isoforms was compound 5 with a Kis of 1.84 μM (IFA) and 15.6 μM (IFB). The most selective inhibitor was compound 16, with a selectivity of roughly 370-fold for IFA over IFB.  相似文献

A sensitive and simple fluorometric assay has been developed for detection of pyridoxamine (pyridoxine) 5′-phosphate oxidase. This technique utilizes fluorescent N-(5′-phospho-4′-pyridoxyl)amines as substrates that, upon incubation with the oxidase, release the free fluorescent amine. The substrates were prepared by condensation of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate with fluorescent amines and subsequent hydrogenation of the Schiff bases. Since N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine is 15 times less fluorescent in the intramolecularly quenched substrate than the product amine, the direct increase of fluorescence, as well as selective extraction of more fluorescent product, can be utilized for assay. The apparent Km value for this substrate is 8 μm, which is slightly less than that of pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate; V is larger than the natural substrate value. The greater sensitivity gained by this fluorimetric method allows detection of the oxidase in smaller quantities than can be determined by the conventional colorimetric assay.  相似文献
