1. [4-13C]Nicotinate was synthesised and used to support the growth of a nicotinate auxotrophic mutant of Pseudomonas putida. 13C-NMR spectroscopy of the isolated urocanase confirmed the efficient incorporation of 13C into C4 of the nicotinamide ring of the tightly bound NAD+ cofactor. 2. beta-[( 2'-13C]Imidazol-4-yl)propionate was synthesised according to known procedures and used for inhibition of the 13C-labelled urocanase. An increase in the absorbance at 330 nm indicated adduct formation between enzyme-bound NAD+ and inhibitor. The adduct was stabilised by oxidation with phenazine methosulfate and isolated using a slight modification of the procedure of Matherly et al. [Matherly, L. H., DeBrosse, C. W. & Phillips, A. T. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 2789-2794]. 3. The 13C-NMR spectrum of the doubly labelled adduct, [4-13C]NAD-[2'-13C]imidazolylpropionate, showed no one-bond 13C-13C coupling between labelled sites. The 1H-NMR spectrum of this adduct in 2H2O showed only one imidazole signal, which appeared as a doublet (1JC-H = 212 Hz), confirming the presence of a proton at the labelled C2'. The lack of a C5' signal and further NMR data provide evidence for a C-C bond between C4 of the nicotinamide and C5' of the imidazole ring. 4. The revised structure for the enzymatically formed addition complex suggests a novel mechanism for the urocanase reaction which is not only chemically plausible but also explains the previously observed urocanase-catalysed exchange of the C5 proton of urocanate and of beta-(imidazol-4-yl)propionate. 相似文献

Urocanase is inactivated in intact cells of Pseudomonas putida and photoactivated by brief exposure of the cells to the UV radiation in sunlight. The dark reversion (inactivation) in vitro is explained by the formation of a sulfite-NAD adduct. Our objective was to investigate the dark reversion in vivo. Various compounds were added to P. putida cells, and the reversion was measured, after sonication, by comparison of the activity before and after UV irradiation. Sulfite, cysteine sulfinate, and hypotaurine enhanced the reversion of urocanase in resting cells. The reversion was time and concentration dependent. Sulfite modified the purified enzyme, but cysteine sulfinate and hypotaurine could not, indicating that those two substances had to be metabolized to support the reversion. Both of those compounds yielded sulfite when they were incubated with cells. Transaminases form sulfite from cysteine sulfinate. P. putida extract contained a transaminase whose activity involved as alpha-keto acid and either cysteine sulfinate or hypotaurine for (i) production of sulfite, (ii) disappearance of substrates, (iii) formation of corresponding amino acids, and (iv) urocanase reversion. Porcine crystalline transaminase caused reversion of highly purified P. putida urocanase with cysteine sulfinate and alpha-ketoglutarate. We conclude that in P. putida cysteine sulfinate or hypotaurine is catabolized in vivo by a transaminase reaction to sulfite, which modifies urocanase to a form that can be photoactivated. We suggest that this photoregulatory process is natural because it occurs in cells with the aid of sunlight and cellular metabolism. 相似文献

Substrate-mediated inactivation of urocanase from Pseudomonas putida. Evidence for an essential sulfhydryl group 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Incubation of urocanase from Pseudomonas putida with either its substrate, urocanic acid, or product, 4'(5')-imidazolone-5'(4')-propionic acid, resulted in an oxygen-dependent inhibition of enzyme activity. Coincident with the inactivation was the stoichiometric incorporation of radioactivity from [14C]urocanate into the protein. NAD+ which is required for activity or urocanase was not directly involved in the inactivation process. The inactivation of urocanase was irreversible, could be partially blocked by the competitive inhibitor imidazolepropionate, and involved the modification of a single active-site thiol. The inhibition resulted from oxidative decomposition of 4'(5')-imidazolone-5'(4')-propionate but was not due to the formation of the major degradative product, 4-ketoglutaramate, since this compound was not an irreversible inactivator of urocanase although it did produce some inhibition at high concentrations. A mechanism is presented in which a reactive imine intermediate in the decomposition scheme is subject to nucleophilic attack by an active-site thiol, thereby generating a covalent enzyme--thioaminal adduct. These results emphasize the importance of a catalytic center sulfhydryl group for urocanase activity. 相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase C, an isoenzyme composed of C polypeptide subunits and found only in mature testes and spermatozoa, differs kinetically, chemically and immunologically from the five common isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase, each of which is a tetramer of A and/or B subunits. In the rat lactate dehydrogenase C exists in two molecular forms, isoenzymes C4 and A1C3. In addition to these two forms of lactate dehydrogenase C, rat testicular homogenate contains all the five isoenzymes of A and B type. Purification of isoenzyme C4 requires its separation from the other six isoenzymes, of which isoenzymes A1C3 and A3B1 are the most difficult ones to separate. In the present study isoenzyme A3B1, along with other enzymes, was separated from isoenzyme C4 by AMP-Sepharose chromatography by using a gradient of increasing concentration of NAD+-pyruvate adduct. In the next step, isoenzyme A1C3 was separated from isoenzyme C4 by DEAD-cellulose chromatography, resulting in a pure lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme C4 preparation. 相似文献

The role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in the inhibition of bovine liver S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase by neplanocin A 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Neoplanocin A, a cyclopentenyl analog of adenosine, has been shown recently to be a tight binding inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase (EC 3.3.1.1), exhibiting a stoichiometry of one molecule of inhibitor per molecule of the enzyme tetramer (Borchardt, R. T., Keller, B. T., and Patel-Thombre, U. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 4353-4358). In the present study a detailed analysis was performed of the possible role of the enzyme-bound NAD+ in the inactivation of AdoHcy hydrolase by neplanocin A. The NAD+/NADH content was quantitated using a fluorescence technique. The native enzyme showed intrinsic fluorescence with an emission maximum at 460 nm when excited at 340 nm, partially due to NADH bound to the enzyme. It was found that the content of NAD+ and NADH in freshly prepared, native enzyme is equal, having a stoichiometry of two nucleotides per enzyme molecule (tetramer). In addition, it was observed that the enzymatic activity of the native enzyme can be increased by about 30% following preincubation with NAD+. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the mechanism of inhibition of AdoHcy hydrolase by neplanocin A involves the reduction of enzymatically bound NAD+ to NADH. Catalytic activity of the inactivated enzyme could be fully recovered in a time-dependent manner by further incubation with NAD+ (but not NADH). It was also found that inhibition by neplanocin A does not involve dissociation of the bound NAD+ or NADH from the enzyme, but simply reduction of the NAD+ to NADH. 相似文献

Urocanase was inhibited by thioglycolate, 2-mercaptoethanol, dithioerythritol, and 3-mercaptopropionate. Thioglycolate inhibited competitively at low concentrations (Ki, 0.1 mM) and protected the active site from modification by sulfite. The inhibited enzyme was reactivated by dialysis. A difference spectrum peak of 328 nm for the thioglycolate-urocanase complex compared to the 327 nm absorption maximum of the NAD-thioglycolate adduct. Several nucleophiles are known to inhibit urocanase. We conclude that thioglycolate, as a nucleophilic agent, inhibits by forming an adduct with the tightly bound NAD of urocanase. These results provide indirect evidence that NAD may be the locus of substrate binding in urocanase. 相似文献

D-3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida belongs to the family of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases. We have determined X-ray structures of the D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida, which was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli, in three different crystal forms to resolutions between 1.9 and 2.1 A. The so-called substrate-binding loop (residues 187-210) was partially disordered in several subunits, in both the presence and absence of NAD(+). However, in two subunits, this loop was completely defined in an open conformation in the apoenzyme and in a closed conformation in the complex structure with NAD(+). Structural comparisons indicated that the loop moves as a rigid body by about 46 degrees . However, the two small alpha-helices (alphaFG1 and alphaFG2) of the loop also re-orientated slightly during the conformational change. Probably, the interactions of Val185, Thr187 and Leu189 with the cosubstrate induced the conformational change. A model of the binding mode of the substrate D-3-hydroxybutyrate indicated that the loop in the closed conformation, as a result of NAD(+) binding, is positioned competent for catalysis. Gln193 is the only residue of the substrate-binding loop that interacts directly with the substrate. A translation, libration and screw (TLS) analysis of the rigid body movement of the loop in the crystal showed significant librational displacements, describing the coordinated movement of the substrate-binding loop in the crystal. NAD(+) binding increased the flexibility of the substrate-binding loop and shifted the equilibrium between the open and closed forms towards the closed form. The finding that all NAD(+) -bound subunits are present in the closed form and all NAD(+) -free subunits in the open form indicates that the loop closure is induced by cosubstrate binding alone. This mechanism may contribute to the sequential binding of cosubstrate followed by substrate. 相似文献

S-adenosylhomocysteinase: mechanism of reversible and irreversible inactivation by ATP, cAMP, and 2'-deoxyadenosine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Homogeneous S-adenosylhomocysteinase (AdoHcyase) from rat liver is a tetrameric enzyme that contains four molecules of tightly bound NAD per mole of enzyme. We report here that incubation of the rat liver enzyme with ATP, Mg2+, and KCl leads to conversion of the active enzyme to an inactive form with release of all enzyme-bound NAD which can be recovered quantitatively by gel filtration. At various concentrations of ATP, the release of NAD corresponds closely with the degree of inactivation, suggesting that the four subunits are equivalent. Hydrolysis of ATP is not required for the inactivation process since nonhydrolyzable ATP analogues can replace ATP in the inactivation process. The ATP-dependent inactivation is fully reversible upon incubation of the inactivated enzyme with NAD. The ATP-dependent inactivation of the enzyme appears to be analogues to the cAMP-dependent inactivation of the enzyme from Dictyostelium discoideum described earlier by Hohman et al. (1985) [Hohman, R. J., Guitton, M. C., & Veron, M. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 82, 4578-4581; Hohman, R. J., Veron, M., & Guitton, M. C. (1985) Curr. Top. Cell. Regul. 26, 233-245] but differs from the irreversible inactivation studied earlier by Abeles et al. (1982) [Abeles, R. H., Fish, S., & Lapinskas, B. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 5557-5562]. These authors have ascribed the time-dependent inactivation that results from incubation of the enzyme with 2'-deoxyadenosine at the C-3' and concluded that AdoHcyase "probably consists of two nonequivalent pairs of subunits".(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Carbon-13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is performed to characterize the formation of carbamino adducts between insulin and (13C) carbon dioxide over a range of pH values in the presence of a physiological concentration (23 mM) of sodium bicarbonate. The peaks from two of the carbamino adducts resonate at higher frequencies than the signal from bicarbonate, at 164.6 and 165.3 ppm, and are attributed to the adducts with the terminal amino groups of phenylalanine B1 and glycine A1. The intensities of these signals vary with the pH, with unique patterns. Over 6% of each terminal amino group exists as the carbamino adduct at the optimum pH values of 7.8 and 8.3. A unique third adduct resonates at 159.3 ppm, and is attributed to lysine B29. This adduct is present on 2% of the insulin molecules at pH 8.2, but has minimal intensity at pH 7.4. No signals from adducts are detected below pH 6.2, where the amino groups exist predominantly in the protonated form. Creation of the adducts is rapid and they are stable for over 4 wk at 37 degrees C. The narrow bandwidth of the resonance of the adduct (4.0-4.5 Hz) relative to the irreversible cyanate adduct is consistent with molecular forms of the carbamino adduct smaller than the 2-Zn-hexamer which is the preponderate form of clinically utilized U-100 insulin (i.e., 100 U/ml). 相似文献

Cells of Pseudomonas putida NP, Pseudomonas species (NCIB 9816), and a Nocardia species, after growth on naphthalene as sole source of carbon and energy, contain a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent enzyme that oxidizes cis-dihydrodiols of mono- and polycyclic aromatic compounds. Similarly, cells of a strain of P. putida biotype A, when grown either on toluene or benzene vapors, were found to contain a dehydrogenase that oxidized dihydrodiols of aromatic hydrocarbons with cis stereochemistry and required NAD+ as an electron acceptor. In all these cases, no enzymatic activity was detected when trans-naphthalene dihydrodiol was used as a substrate. Purified cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase was injected into rabbits to obtain antibodies. Physiocochemical and immunological properties of cis-dihydrodiol:NAD+ oxidoreductases from four different organisms were examined. Kinetic analysis showed that, in all the cases, enzymes exhibited higher affinity for cis-dihydrodiols than for NAD+ and had pH optima between 8.8 and 9.0. except in the case of the enzyme from Nocarida sp., which showed maximum activity at pH 8.4. Molecular-weight determination of the dehydrogenases from the four different organisms by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-200 column gave values ranging from 92,000 for the enzyme from Nocardia sp. to 160,000 for that from P. putida biotype A. All the dehydrogenases, except the one from Nocardia sp., exhibited immunological cross-reaction with the antibodies prepared against the enzyme purified from P. putida NP. 相似文献

Previous kinetic studies (Tolkovsky, A.M., Braun, S., and Levitzki, A. (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.A. 79, 213-222) and biochemical studies (Arad, H., Rosenbusch, J., and Levitzki, A. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 6579-6583) from our laboratory suggest that Gs or alpha s remain associated with the catalytic subunit of adenylyl cyclase (C) throughout the activation cycle of adenylyl cyclase by hormone receptors. In this study we have purified GppNHp-activated bovine brain adenylyl cyclase over 3000-fold under mild solution conditions. We demonstrate that although the enzyme is permanently activated it retains the beta subunit when bound to a forskolin-agarose affinity column as long as it is not exposed to high salt concentrations. The stoichiometry of alpha s to beta to C is close to unity, suggesting that beta gamma subunits do not dissociate from Gs upon its activation. The complex gamma beta alpha s (GppNHp). C dissociates partially when migrating on a Superose 12 fast protein liquid chromatography molecular-seiving column. This partial dissociation probably results from the relatively diluted state of the enzyme at a high degree of purity. Prolonged ultracentrifugation of the complex also causes partial dissociation of the beta gamma subunits from alpha s (GppNHp). C. The apparent contradiction between the results reported here and the observation that beta gamma subunits inhibit cyclase activity when added to platelet membranes (Katada, T., Bokoch, G. M., Northrup, J. K., Ui, M., and Gilman, A. G. (1984a) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3568-3577) is discussed. We suggest an alternative model to account for this inhibitory effect of added beta gamma subunits. 相似文献

Urocanase (urocanate hydratase, EC 4.2.1.49) purified from Pseudomonas testosteroni has a mol.wt. of 118000 determined by sedimentation-equilibrium analysis. Ultracentrifugation in 6M-guanidine hydrochloride and polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate show that the enzyme consists of two identical or very similar subunits. It is, like urocanase isolated from other sources, inhibited by reagents that react with carbonyl groups. Although urocanase from Ps. testosteroni is strongly inhibited by NaBH4, no evidence could be obtained for the presence of covalently bound 2-oxobutyrate as a prosthetic group; this is in contrast with findings elsewhere for urocanase from Pseudomonas putida. Urocanase from Ps. testosteroni does not contain pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a coenzyme and in this respect is similar to all urocanases studied in purified form. 相似文献

Mechanism of urocanase as studied by deuterium isotope effects and labeling patterns 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) dependent urocanase (4'-imidazolone-5'-propionate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.49) from Pseudomonas putida was found to catalyze an exchange reaction between solvent and the 4'-hydrogen of urocanate or imidazolepropionate at a rate faster than that of overall deuterium was compared to unlabeled urocanate as a substrate, no isotope rate effect was noted. For examination of the possibility of an NAD+-mediated intramolecular hydride transfer of the 4'-hydrogen to a position on the side chain of oxoimidazolepropionate, the origins of hydrogen at positions 2 and 3 in the propionate chain were studied as a function of reaction time and extent of exchange of the 4'-hydrogen. No transfer of hydrogen from the 4' position to the side chain was observed, thereby eliminating mechanisms requiring hydride transfer via NADH between these positions. Catalytic rates in 1H2O vs. 2H2O revealed a 3-fold difference which was ascribed to a rate-limiting proton addition step. Similarly, a 5-fold decrease in Vmax was found for the reverse reaction when oxoimidazole[2,3-2H2]propionate was compared to unlabeled oxoimidazolepropionate. These data support a mechanism involving water addition across the conjugated double bond system of urocanate, rather than an internal oxidation--reduction process, yet NAD+ is required. A mechanism is proposed which uses electron delocalization in the imidazole nucleus, via an imidazole--NAD adduct, to facilitate water attack and subsequent formation of oxoimidazolepropionate. 相似文献

Different forms of human cystatin C 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two isoelectric forms of human cystatin C with pI 9.2 and 7.8 have been isolated from urine of patients with different nephrological disorders. Treatment of both forms with alkaline phosphatase revealed that the difference between them is not due to the phosphorylation of some amino-acid residue. Further purification of cystatin C with pI 9.2 by hydrophobic chromatography and N-terminal sequencing showed that it consists predominantly of the full-length form of cystatin C with the N-terminal sequence SSPG-. Cystatin C with pI 7.8 was separated into two peaks. The first represented a pure form truncated by an octapeptide and beginning with the N-terminal sequence LVGG-. The second was a mixture containing 33% of the first peak and 66% of a truncated form with the N-terminal sequence VGGP-. Inhibitory activity of the full-length cystatin C and the pure truncated form has been measured against cathepsins B, H and L and show no significant differences in Ki values. These results further support the proposed mechanism of interaction of cysteine proteinases with their inhibitors cystatins (Bode, W., Engh, R., Musil, D., Thiele, U., Huber, R., Karshikow, A., Brzin, J., Kos, J. & Turk, V. (1988) EMBO J. 7, 2593-2599). 相似文献

Photosynthetic oxygen evolution is catalyzed at the manganese-containing active site of photosystem II (PSII). Amines are analogs of substrate water and inhibitors of oxygen evolution. Recently, the covalent incorporation of (14)C from [(14)C]methylamine and benzylamine into PSII subunits has been demonstrated (Ouellette, A. J. A., Anderson, L. B., and Barry, B. A. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 95, 2204-2209). To obtain more information concerning these labeling reactions, t-[(14)C]butylamine and phenylhydrazine were employed as probes. Neither compound can be oxidized by a transamination or addition/elimination mechanism, but both can react with activated carbonyl groups, produced as a result of posttranslational modification of amino acid residues, to give amine-derived adducts. (14)C incorporation into the PSII subunits D2/D1 and CP47 was obtained upon treatment of PSII with either t-[(14)C]butylamine or [(14)C]phenylhydrazine. For t-butylamine and methylamine, the amount of labeling increased when PSII was treated with denaturing agents. Labeling of CP47, D2, and D1 with methylamine and phenylhydrazine approached a one-to-one stoichiometry, assuming that D2 and D1 each have one binding site. Evidence was obtained suggesting that reductive stabilization and/or access are modulated by PSII light reactions. These results support the proposal that PSII subunits D2, D1, and CP47 contain quinocofactors and that access to these sites is sterically limited. 相似文献

Heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins from bovine brain were resolved by fast protein liquid chromatography chromatography using Mono Q columns. Two distinct forms of the protein Go were identified. Both forms had stochiometric amounts of alpha- and beta gamma-subunits. The a-subunits of both forms were recognized by an alpha o-specific antiserum, but not by any of the alpha i-specific antisera. The two forms showed distinct migration patterns on 9% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels containing 4-8 M urea gradients. Neither form comigrated with the recombinant alpha o1. Both the recombinant alpha o1 and the most abundant form of Go were recognized by an antiserum, H-660, against a peptide encoding amino acids 3-17 of alpha i2. H-660 has been shown previously to recognize alpha o and alpha i (Mumby, S. M., Pang, I. K., Gilman, A. G., and Sternweis, P. C. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2020-2026). This more abundant form is called Go A most likely corresponds to the cloned alpha o1. The less abundant form, Go B, was not recognized by H-660. However, both forms of bovine brain Go were recognized by GC/2, an antiserum against the N-terminal region of alpha o1. Hence alpha oA and alpha oB may be different in their N terminus regions. Neither form of bovine brain Go was recognized by an antisera made to a peptide encoding the unique regions of the cloned alpha o2 from HIT cells (Hsu W. H., Rudolph, U., Sanford, J., Bertrand, P., Olate, J., Nelson, C., Moss, L.E., Boyd, A. E., III, Codina, J., and Birnbaumer, L. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 11220-11226). Go A and Go B have similar guanine nucleotide binding and release properties. Both release GDP within 1 min in the absence of added Mg2+. Both bind guanosine (GTP gamma S) rapidly as well. However Go A binds GTP gamma S about 2.5-fold faster than Go B, in the absence of added Mg2+ ion. Both forms of Go as well as the recombinant alpha o (alpha o1) can increase muscarinic stimulation of inositol trisphosphate-mediated Cl- current in Xenopus oocytes. These data indicate that we have identified two structurally distinct forms of Go that have different guanine nucleotide binding properties and are capable of functioning in the receptor-regulated phospholipase C pathway in Xenopus oocytes. 相似文献

A derivative of the flavoprotein pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase has been described recently (Thorpe, C., and Williams, C.H. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 3553-3557), in which 1 of the 2 cysteine residues generated on reduction of the intrachain active center disulfide bridge is selectively alkylated with iodoacetamide. This monolabeled enzyme exhibits a spectrum of oxidized bound flavin. The addition of 1 mM NAD+ to this derivative at pH 8.3 causes a decrease in absorbance of approximately 50% at 448 nm, with a concomitant increase at 380 nm. These spectral changes are complete within 3 ms and are reversible. NAD+ titrations generate isosbestic points at 408, 374, and 327 nm; allowing values for the apparent dissociation constant for NAD+ and the extent of bleaching at infinite ligand to be obtained from double reciprocal plots. Between pH 6.1 and 8.8, the apparent KD decreases from 320 to 35 muM, whereas the extrapolated delta epsilon 448 values remain approximately constant at 1/2 epsilon 448. Direct measurement of NAD+ binding by gel filtration at pH 8.8 indicates that the spectral changes are associated with a stoichiometry of 1.2 mol of NAD+ bound/2 mol of FAD. The modified protein is a dimer containing 1 FAD and 1 alkylated cysteine residue/subunit; the native enzyme is also dimeric. The visible spectrum of the species absorbing at 380 nm, approximated by correction for the residual oxidized FAD, shows a single maximum at 384 nm, epsilon 384 = 8.7 mM-1cm-1. Comparison of this spectrum with that of model compounds of known structure suggests that it may represent a reversible covalent flavin adduct induced on binding NAD+. 相似文献

Calmodulin (CaM)-stimulated phosphatase in bovine brain or bovine lung CaM-binding protein fractions were fractionated on a heparin-Sepharose column into three activity peaks, designated in order of column three activity peaks, designated in order of column elution as the brain peak I (BPI), peak II (BPII), and peak III (BPIII) or the lung peak I (LPI), peak II (LPII), and peak III (LPIII) phosphatases, respectively. The pooled individual peak fractions were further purified on a fast protein liquid chromatography Superose 12 column. Analysis of the purified samples by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that they all contained major peptides corresponding to alpha and beta subunits of the brain CaM-stimulated phosphatase. The phosphatases had similar specific activities and were similarly stimulated by Ni2+, Mn2+, Mg2+ + Ca2+, and CaM. They showed differential reactivity on immunotransblots with an alpha subunit-specific monoclonal antibody VJ6, which reacted strongly toward BPI and weakly toward BPIII and LPI, but showed no reactivity toward BPII, LPII, and LPIII. Each of the alpha subunits of the purified phosphatases had a distinct V8 protease and chymotrypsin peptide map. The results suggest that both bovine brain and bovine lung contain multiple CaM-stimulated phosphatase isozymes. The suggestion of three mammalian brain CaM-stimulated phosphatase isozymes is in agreement with the results of recent molecular cloning studies (Kuno, T., Takeda, T., Hirai, M., Ito, A., Mukai, H., and Tanaka, C. (1989) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 165, 1352-1358; Guerini, D., and Klee, C.B. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 9183-9187; da Cruz e Silva, E. F., and Cohen, P. T. W. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1009, 293-296). The successful purification of the individual isozymes may facilitate the elucidation of molecular basis and physiological significance of the isozymes. 相似文献

N-Arylazido-beta-alanyl-NAD+ [N3'-O-(3-[N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino]propionyl)NAD+] has been prepared by alkaline phosphatase treatment of arylazido-beta-alanyl-NADP+ [N3'-O-(3-[N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino]propionyl)NADP+]. This NAD+ analogue was found to be a potent competitive inhibitor (Ki = 1.45 microM) with respect to NADH for the purified bovine heart mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3). The enzyme was irreversibly inhibited as well as covalently labeled by this analogue upon photoirradiation. A stoichiometry of 1.15 mol of N-arylazido-beta-alanyl-NAD+ bound/mol of enzyme, at 100% inactivation, was determined from incorporation studies using tritium-labeled analogue. Among the three subunits, 0.85 mol of the analogue was bound to the Mr = 51,000 subunit, and each of the two smaller subunits contained 0.15 mol of the analogue when the dehydrogenase was completely inhibited upon photolysis. Both the irreversible inactivation and the covalent incorporation could be prevented by the presence of NADH during photolysis. These results indicate that N-arylazido-beta-alanyl-NAD+ is an active-site-directed photoaffinity label for the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase, and are further evidence that the Mr = 51,000 subunit contains the NADH binding site. Previous studies using A-arylazido-beta-alanyl-NAD+ [A3'-O-(3-[N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino]propionyl)NAD+] demonstrated that the NADH binding site is on the Mr = 51,000 subunit [Chen, S., & Guillory, R. J. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 8318-8323]. Results are also presented to show that N-arylazido-beta-alanyl-NAD+ binds the dehydrogenase in a more effective manner than A-arylazido-beta-alanyl-NAD+. 相似文献
