The triacylglycerol hydrolyase and phospholipase A1 activities of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase toward long-chain fatty acyl ester substrates were investigated with monomolecular lipid films containing trioleoylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. In a monolayer of egg phosphatidylcholine containing 3 mol% [14C]trioleoylglycerol, and in the presence of apolipoprotein C-II, a 79 amino acid activator protein for lipoprotein lipase, enzyme activity was maximal at a surface pressure of 21-22 mN X m-1 (37 mumol oleic acid released/h per mg enzyme); enzyme activity was enhanced 9-fold by apolipoprotein C-II. At surface pressures between 22 and 30 mN X m-1, lipoprotein lipase activity decreased over a broad range and was nearly zero at 30 mN X m-1. Apolipoprotein C-II and the synthetic fragments of the activator protein containing residues 56-79, 51-79 and 44-79 were equally effective at 20 mN X m-1 in enhancing lipoprotein lipase catalysis. However, at surface pressures between 25 and 29 mN X m-1, only apolipoprotein C-II and the phospholipid-associating fragment containing residues 44-79 enhanced enzyme catalysis. The effect of apolipoprotein C-II and synthetic peptides on the phospholipase A1 activity of lipoprotein lipase was examined in sphingomyelin:cholesterol (2:1) monolayers containing 5 mol% di[14C]myristoylphosphatidylcholine. At 22 mN X m-1, apolipoprotein C-II and the synthetic fragments containing residues 44-79 or 56-79 enhanced lipoprotein lipase activity (70-80 nmol/h per mg enzyme). In contrast to trioleoylglycerol hydrolysis, the synthetic fragments were not as effective as apolipoprotein C-II enhancing enzyme activity towards di[14C]myristoylphosphatidylcholine at higher surface pressures. We conclude that the minimal amino acid sequence of apolipoprotein C-II required for activation of lipoprotein lipase is dependent both on the lipid substrate and the packing density of the monolayer. 相似文献

Escherichia coli DNA photolyase (photoreactivating enzyme) is a flavoprotein. The enzyme binds to DNA containing pyrimidine dimers in a light-independent step and, upon illumination with 300-600 nm radiation, catalyzes the photosensitized cleavage of the cyclobutane ring thus restoring the integrity of the DNA. We have studied the binding reaction using the techniques of nitrocellulose filter binding and flash photolysis. The enzyme binds to dimer-containing DNA with an association rate constant k1 estimated by two different methods to be 1.4 X 10(6) to 4.2 X 10(6) M-1 S-1. The dissociation of the enzyme from dimer-containing DNA displays biphasic kinetics; for the rapidly dissociating class of complexes k2 = 2-3 X 10(-2) S-1, while for the more slowly dissociating class k2 = 1.3 X 10(-3) to 6 X 10(-4) S-1. The equilibrium association constant KA, as determined by the nitrocellulose filter binding assay and the flash photolysis assay, was 4.7 X 10(7) to 6 X 10(7) M-1, in reasonable agreement with the values predicted from k1 and k2. From the dependence of the association constant on ionic strength we conclude that the enzyme contacts no more than two phosphodiester bonds upon binding; this strongly suggests that the pyrimidine dimer is the main structural determinant of specific photolyase-DNA interaction and that nonspecific ionic interactions do not contribute significantly to substrate binding. 相似文献

Thermodynamic characterization of interactions between ornithine transcarbamylase leader peptide and phospholipid bilayer membranes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The interactions of the targeting sequence of the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase with phospholipid bilayers of different molecular compositions have been studied by high-sensitivity heating and cooling differential scanning calorimetry, high-sensitivity isothermal titration calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. These studies indicate that the leader peptide interacts strongly with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer membranes containing small mole percents of the anionic phospholipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) or brain phosphatidylserine (brain PS) but not with pure phosphatidylcholines. For the first time, the energetics of the leader peptide-membrane interaction have been measured directly by using calorimetric techniques. At 20 degrees C, the association of the peptide with the membrane is exothermic and characterized by an association constant of 2.3 X 10(6) M-1 in the case of phosphatidylglycerol-containing and 0.35 X 10(6) M-1 in the case of phosphatidylserine-containing phospholipid bilayers. In both cases, the enthalpy of association is -60 kcal/mol of peptide. Additional experiments using fluorescence techniques suggest that the peptide does not penetrate deeply into the hydrophobic core of the membrane. The addition of the leader peptide to DPPC/DPPG (5:1) or DPPC/brain PS (5:1) small sonicated vesicles results in vesicle fusion. The fusion process is dependent on peptide concentration and is maximal at the phase transition temperature of the vesicles and minimal at temperatures below the phase transition. 相似文献

Equilibrium-binding data of highly purified 125I-labeled avian lipoprotein lipase to cultured avian adipocytes demonstrate the presence of a class of high affinity binding sites. Analysis of the binding function yielded an association constant of 0.62 x 10(8)M-1 and a maximum binding capacity of 2.1 micrograms/60-mm dish. From a time course of dissociation of 125I-lipoprotein lipase from adipocytes at 4 degrees C, a dissociation rate constant of 6.1 x 10(-5)s-1 was obtained. Pretreatment of cells with heparinase and heparitinase resulted in a quantitative suppression of the high affinity binding component, establishing that lipoprotein lipase is bound to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans. At 37 degrees C, cell surface-bound 125I-lipoprotein lipase is internalized and either degraded or recycled to the medium. The degradation rate constant for 125I-lipoprotein lipase was estimated to be 0.78 h-1. The degradation rate constant was reduced 6-fold when cells were exposed to 100 microM chloroquine, indicating that most of the degradation occurs within the lysosomal compartment. By using cells that had been pulsed with Trans35S-label for 1 h, it was demonstrated that acute treatment with endoglycosidases for up to 1 h resulted in a new lipoprotein lipase secretion rate which was 6-fold higher than that of control cells. Degradation of newly synthesized lipoprotein lipase was essentially blocked 30 min after the initiation of the chase. In other studies it was observed that there were no additive effects of chloroquine and either endoglycosidase or heparin treatment on total lipoprotein lipase levels (intracellular, cell surface, and medium) in adipocyte cultures. These experiments support the hypothesis that the release of lipoprotein lipase from its receptor prevents its internalization and degradation and enhances enzyme efflux from the adipocyte. A new model of lipoprotein lipase secretion in cultured adipocytes is proposed: Newly synthesized lipoprotein lipase is transported to the cell surface where it binds to specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan receptors. The enzyme is either released to the medium or internalized via the receptor, in which case the enzyme is degraded or recycled to the cell surface. Major determinants of enzyme efflux from the cell surface include the number and integrity of receptors, the association constant of the enzyme-receptor complex, and the presence in the medium of competing molecules with high affinity for lipoprotein lipase. In this model, modulation of lipoprotein lipase degradation rate may be a significant mechanism for acute regulation of enzyme efflux independent of changes in the rate of enzyme synthesis. 相似文献

Human high-density lipoproteins (HDL), but not other lipoprotein classes, bind bovine thyrotropin (TSH) with moderately high affinity. Binding of 125I-labeled HDL to TSH has been measured in a solid-phase assay; it is saturable and can be displaced by unlabeled HDL but not by other lipoproteins or bovine serum albumin. The interaction of HDL with TSH has been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy: HDL specifically modifies the fluorescence properties of the biologically active dansyl derivative (DNS, (5-dimethyl-aminonaphtalene-1-sulfonyl) chloride) of TSH (DNS-TSH) causing a 12 nm shift to lower wavelength of the emission maximum, a two-fold increase of the quantum yield and a significant increase of fluorescence polarization. The primary site of TSH binding on the HDL particle is likely to be located on its protein moieties, since other lipoprotein classes, which share similar lipids with HDL, do not bind TSH. 125I-labeled apolipoprotein A-I binds TSH in the solid-phase assay and titration of DNS-TSH with apolipoprotein A-I causes perturbations nearly identical to those observed with intact HDL. One HDL particle has at least 12 binding sites for TSH with an association constant, K = 10(7) M-1 whereas one apolipoprotein A-I molecule binds one or two TSH molecules with an association constant slightly lower than that for HDL (K = 10(6) M-1). The lipid moieties of HDL also appears to be perturbed by the interaction with TSH. 相似文献

Kinetic studies on the interaction of eglin c with human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have investigated the inhibition of human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G by recombinant Eglin c under near physiological conditions. The association rate constants k on of Eglin c for elastase and cathepsin G were 1.3 X 10(7) M-1 s-1 and 2 X 10(6) M-1 s-1, respectively. Under identical conditions, the k on for the association of human plasma alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor with the two leukocproteinases were 2.4 X 10(7) M-1 s-1 and 10(6) M-1 s-1, respectively. The consistency of these data could be verified using a set of competition experiments. The elastase-Eglin c interaction was studied in greater detail. The dissociation rate constant k off was determined by trapping of free elastase from an equilibrium mixture of elastase and Eglin c with alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor or alpha 2-macroglobulin. The rate of dissociation was very low (k off = 3.5 X 10(-5) s-1). The calculated equilibrium dissociation constant of the complex, Ki(calc) = k off/k on, was found to be 2.7 X 10(-12) M. Ki was also measured by adding elastase to mixtures of Eglin c and substrate and determining the steady-state rates of substrate hydrolysis. The Ki determined from these experiments (7.5 X 10(-11) M) was significantly higher than Ki(calc). This discrepancy might be explained by assuming that the interaction of Eglin c with elastase involves two steps: a fast binding reaction followed by a slow isomerization step. From the above kinetic constants it may be inferred that at a therapeutic concentration of 5 X 10(-7) M, Eglin c will inhibit leukocyte elastase in one second and will bind this enzyme in a "pseudo-irreversible" manner. 相似文献

Mixed acyl chain phosphatidylcholine molecules in Triton N-101 micelles were employed as substrates for lipoprotein lipase to test which substrate acyl chain has the greatest effect on activation of the enzyme by apolipoprotein C-II. The phospholipase A1 activity of lipoprotein lipase was measured by pH-stat. The activation factor (lipoprotein lipase activity plus apolipoprotein C-II/activity minus apolipoprotein C-II) increased monotonically with apolipoprotein C-II concentration up to 1 microM apolipoprotein C-II at an enzyme concentration of 0.01 microM. The maximal activation factor for phosphatidylcholine substrate molecules with sn-2 acyl chain lengths of 14 averages 14.8. By contrast, for sn-2 acyl chain lengths of 16 the activation factor was 29.2. Varying the sn-1 acyl chain length had no significant effect on the activation factor. The chain-length dependence of the activation factor is similar with the apolipoprotein C-II peptide fragment comprising residues 56-79, which does not include the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein C-II. These data are consistent with a model for activation of lipoprotein lipase in which residues 56-79 bind to lipoprotein lipase and alter the interaction of the sn-2 acyl chain of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) substrate or the lysoPC product within the activated state complex. 相似文献

Prostaglandin H synthase and hydroperoxides: peroxidase reaction and inactivation kinetics 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
R J Kulmacz 《Archives of biochemistry and biophysics》1986,249(2):273-285
The reaction kinetics of the peroxidase activity of prostaglandin H synthase have been examined with 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid and hydrogen peroxide as substrates and tetramethylphenylenediamine as cosubstrate. The apparent Km and Vmax values for both hydroperoxides were found to increase linearly with the cosubstrate concentration. The overall reaction kinetics could be interpreted in terms of an initial reaction of the synthase with hydroperoxide to form an intermediate equivalent to horseradish peroxidase Compound I, followed by reduction of this intermediate by cosubstrate to regenerate the resting enzyme. The rate constants estimated for the generation of synthase Compound I were 7.1 X 10(7) M-1 s-1 with the lipid hydroperoxide and 9.1 X 10(4) M-1 s-1 with hydrogen peroxide. The rate constants estimated for the rate-determining step in the regeneration of resting enzyme by cosubstrate were 9.2 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 in the case of the reaction with lipid hydroperoxide and 3.5 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 in the case of reaction with hydrogen peroxide. The intrinsic affinities of the synthase peroxidase for substrate (Ks) were estimated to be on the order of 10(-8) M for lipid hydroperoxide and 10(-5) M for hydrogen peroxide. These affinities are quite similar to the reported affinities of the synthase for these hydroperoxides as activators of the cyclooxygenase. The peroxidase activity was found to be progressively inactivated during the peroxidase reaction. The rate of inactivation of the peroxidase was increased by increases in hydroperoxide level, and decreased by increases in peroxidase cosubstrate. The inactivation of the peroxidase appeared to occur by a hydroperoxide-dependent process, originating from synthase Compound I or Compound II. 相似文献

Enzymic hydrolysis of triacylglycerol has been studied with very low density lipoproteins from an individual with a genetically determined absence of apoC-II, the activator apoprotein for lipoprotein lipase. Normal rates of ester cleavage by purified bovine milk lipoprotein lipase can be achieved with native apoC-II and by three shorter synthetic peptides, apoC-II(55–78), apoC-II(50–78) and apoC-II(43–78), which contain part of the carboxyl terminal third of the native apoprotein. At 0.5 μM concentration, all peptides produced a 7-fold activation. ApoC-II(43–78), but not apoC-II(50–78) or apoC-II(55–78), could bind VLDL as shown by separation of unbound 125I peptides and the lipoproteins. Thus, residues 43–50 of apoC-II are part of a lipid binding region. High affinity binding of apoC-II peptides to the lipoprotein substrate is not obligatory for activation of lipoprotein lipase. 相似文献

Camphor binding to a possible receptor of rat olfactory epithelium has been studied within the ligand concentration range 10(-11)-10(-6) M. At these concentrations camphor is bound by a set of receptors. They are distinguished by both the affinity to the ligand (K1 = 5 X 10(-10) M, K2 = 3.5 X 10(-8) M, K3 approximately equal to 10(-6) M) and their amount in the epithelium. The differences in the affinities are due to different values of the association rate constant of camphor (k1), which varies from 10(6) M-1 X s-1 for the receptors with high affinity up to 2 X 10(2) M-1 X s-1 for those with low affinity. These data are discussed in terms of equilibrium and kinetic models of the receptor-stimulus interaction. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibody to rat apoC: multiple binding to apoC-I on lipoproteins increases its affinity constant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Using solid phase systems, the kinetics of binding of monoclonal antibody (LRB 45, IgG2b,kappa) to apoC-I and apoC-I on lipoproteins were investigated. At 25 degrees C, the association constant of LRB 45 antibody to apoC-I (3.56 X 10(6) M-1 X sec-1) was almost three times slower than the association constant LRB 45 antibody to lipoproteins (10.4 X 10(6) M-1 X sec-1). However, the dissociation constant of apoC-I from LRB 45 antibody (0.865 X 10(-4) sec-1) was also slower than the dissociation constant of lipoprotein from antibody (1.5 X 10(-4) sec-1). Thus, the calculated affinity constant (association constant/dissociation constant) of LRB 45 antibody for apoC-I was approximately half of that for lipoproteins (4.12 X 10(10) M-1 vs. 6.92 X 10(10) M-1). The intrinsic affinity constants for antibody binding to apoC-I and apoC-I on lipoproteins were determined by Scatchard analysis. The intrinsic affinity constant of antibody bound to apoC-I was estimated to be 5.49 X 10(10) M-1 whereas that of antibody binding to lipoproteins was 30 to 200 times less. Furthermore, ascites fluid from LRB 45 cell lines could immunoprecipitate serum lipoproteins. Thus, it is concluded that there is multiple binding of antibody to apoC-I on lipoproteins. This binding appears to increase the calculated affinity constant (avidity) for antibody-antigen interaction. 相似文献

In our two-phase reaction system taurodexycholate prevents the adsorption of pancreatic lipase B to the nonaqueous phase. Our data are consistent with a mechanism for this reaction which involves the cooperative formation of an enzyme-(bile salt)4 complex in solution with a dissociation constant of 1.4 X 10(-15)M4. Whereas the free enzyme is readily adsorbed to a bile salt-substrate-covered surface, the complex is not. Thus, the "inhibition" of substrate hydrolysis occurs because enzyme and substrate are separated physically. The protein cofactor, colipase, reverses the inhibitory effects of bile salt by providing a high affinity binding site at the interface for the lipase-(bile salt)4 complex. Steady state and presteady state kinetic data are consistent with the formation of a complex with a 1/1, lipase/colipase, ratio, and a dissociation constant of 0.4 to 2.8 X 10(-9)M. The rate of adsorption of lipase to adsorbed colipase appears to be controlled by diffusion through the unstirred layer with a second order rate constant of 1.3 X 10(6)M-1S-1. 相似文献

Interaction of monoclonal anti-peptide antibodies with lysozyme 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The interaction of monoclonal anti-peptide antibodies with the free peptide and its protein counterpart has been evaluated for hen egg white lysozyme and the peptide constituting residues 38 to 45. Fluorescence methodology has been developed for the measurement of association constants based on resonance energy transfer between the excited tryptophan of antibody and bound peptide ligand conjugated to a fluorescent probe. Five antibodies, four IgM and one IgG, have been assayed by ELISA, and have demonstrated binding to the adsorbed peptide alone, to the adsorbed lysozyme alone, or to both. Multivalent interaction with the adsorbed ligand is a key factor in the efficacy of binding. Measurement of binding constants in homogeneous solution, by equilibrium dialysis and energy transfer, demonstrated that lysozyme was bound to an IgG antipeptide antibody with an association constant (4 X 10(2) M-1) 200-fold less than that for the free peptide (8 X 10(4) M-1). It was also inferred for IgM that an association constant of the order of 10(2) M-1 was sufficient to effect selective interaction in a system providing multivalent interaction. The shared conformations between protein and peptide, implied by the specific reactivity of the anti-peptide antibody with the protein, points to structural fluctuations of the surface regions and residues of globular proteins. 相似文献

Binding of amphiphilic peptides to a carboxy-terminal tryptic fragment of calmodulin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Calmodulin (CaM) fragments 1-77 (CaM 1-77) and 78-148 (CaM 78-148) were prepared by tryptic cleavage of CaM. CaM 78-148 exhibited Ca2+-dependent binding to mastoparan X, Polistes mastoparan, and melittin with apparent dissociation constants less than 0.2 microM as judged from changes in the fluorescence spectrum and anisotropy of the single tryptophan residue of each of these cationic, amphiphilic peptides. This interaction was accompanied by a large spectral blue shift of the peptide fluorescence spectrum. These findings are consistent with earlier results [Malencik, D.A., & Anderson, S.R. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 2420-2428] on the binding of mastoparan X to CaM fragment 72-148. The binding of the peptide to CaM 78-148 also caused a significant loss of the accessibility of the peptide tryptophan to the fluorescence quencher acrylamide. The CaM 78-148 induced effects on the fluorescence spectra and tryptophan accessibility of the peptides were most pronounced for mastoparan X, a peptide with tryptophan on the apolar face of the putative amphiphilic helix. The data were comparable with results from parallel experiments on the Ca2+-dependent interaction of these peptides with intact CaM. Difference circular dichroic spectra suggested that binding to CaM 78-148 was associated with the induction of considerable degrees of helicity in the amphiphilic peptides, which by themselves have predominantly random coil structures in aqueous solution. This finding is also reminiscent of the interaction of these peptides with intact CaM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The direct effects of somatostatin-14 (SRIF; synthetic ovine) and the fish caudal neuropeptide, urotensin II (UII; synthetic Gillichthys), on fatty acid (FA) release and on lipolytic enzyme (triacylglycerol lipase) activity were determined on coho salmon liver slices incubated in vitro. FA release was continuously measured by pH-stat titration. Additionally, gas chromatographic analysis of the incubation medium was performed to determine the type and relative composition of medium fatty acid constituents. SRIF and UII both stimulated FA release in a dose-dependent manner; the two peptides appeared to stimulate FA release in an equimolar manner. Maximal response was obtained at 1 X 10(-5) M; ED50 was approximately 2 X 10(-7) M. SRIF-stimulated FA release did not result in differential secretion of any particular FA type. Tissue triacylglycerol lipase activity was significantly enhanced by addition of UII or SRIF (2 X 10(-6) M). Dibutyryl cAMP and IBMX both stimulated FA release and lipase activity; dbcAMP stimulated FA release in dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that SRIF and UII directly enhance lipid mobilization from salmon liver slices and suggest that SRIF- and UII-stimulated lipid mobilization from salmon liver slices is mediated through cAMP. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic form of protein kinase C (PKC) is inactive, probably because the pseudosubstrate region in its regulatory domain blocks the substrate-binding site in its kinase domain. Calcium ions cause a translocation to the membrane: maximum activation requires a negative lipid such as phosphatidylserine (PS) and the neutral lipid diacylglycerol (DAG) but the mechanism by which PS and DAG activate PKC is unknown. Pseudosubstrate region 19-36 of PKC-beta has six basic and one acidic amino acids and region 19-29 has five basic and no acidic amino acids. Since any binding of basic residues in the pseudosubstrate region to acidic lipids in the membrane should stabilize the active form of PKC, we studied how peptides with amino acids equivalent to residues 19-36 and 19-29 of PKC-beta bound to phospholipid vesicles. We made equilibrium dialysis, filtration, and electrophoretic mobility measurements. The fraction of bound peptide is a steep sigmoidal function of the mol fraction of negative lipid in the membrane, as predicted from a simple theoretical model that assumes the basic residues provide identical independent binding sites. The proportionality constant between the number of bound peptides/area and the concentration of peptide in the bulk aqueous phase is 1 micron for a membrane with 25% negative lipid formed in 0.1 M KCl. Equivalently, the association constant of the peptide with the membrane is 10(4) M-1, or the net binding energy is 6 kcal/mol. Thus the interaction of basic residues in the pseudosubstrate region with acidic lipids in the membrane could provide 6 kcal/mol free energy towards stabilizing the active form of PKC. 相似文献

Self-association of basic protein has been proposed to be of functional significance in central nervous system myelin. In aqueous solution this protein self-associates, previous data being consistent with the formation of dimers, which then undergo an indefinite isodesmic self-association [Smith, R. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 1826-1831]. As this protein is membrane bound in vivo, we have now examined the effects of amphiphiles on the self-association equilibria. Contrary to the expected effects, at low molar ratios dodecyl sulfate, deoxycholate, Triton X-100, and lysophosphatidylcholine increased protein intermolecular attraction. The anionic detergents led to partial precipitation even at 1:1 protein:detergent molar ratios whereas the zwitterionic lipid and the nonionic detergent exerted less pronounced effects. Sedimentation velocity and equilibrium measurements have been used to define quantitatively the effects of lysophosphatidylcholine. The sedimentation coefficient increases up to a lipid:protein ratio of 4:1 and then remains constant up to a ratio of 12:1. The sedimentation equilibrium data suggest that the mode of protein-protein interaction is the same as in the absence of lipid but with substantially increased association constants. The dimerization constant is increased from 1.20 X 10(2) M-1 to 1.0 X 10(3) M-1 and the isodesmic association constant from 3.4 X 10(4) M-1 to 1.2 X 10(5) M-1. The effects of detergents on myelin basic protein are compared with the effects on other proteins, and the implications for the state of the protein with myelin are discussed. 相似文献

The time course of the interaction between trypsin and a synthetic peptide corresponding to a segment (residues 676-703) of the bait region (residues 666-706) of human alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) was studied by measuring the generation of cleavage products as a function of time by HPLC. Three primary cleavage sites for trypsin were present in the synthetic peptide. The fastest cleavage occurred at the bond corresponding to Arg696-Leu in alpha 2M with an estimated kcat/Km = 1-2 x 10(6) M-1.s-1. This value is of the same magnitude as that characterizing the interaction of alpha 2M and trypsin when taking into account the fact that alpha 2M is a tetramer, kcat/Km = 5 x 10(6) M-1.s-1 [Christensen, U. & Sottrup-Jensen, L. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 6619-6626]. The values of kcat/Km for cleavage at bonds corresponding to Arg681-Val and Arg692-Gly in alpha 2M were 1.5 x 10(5) M-1.s-1 and 1.3 x 10(5) M-1.s-1, respectively. Cleavage of intermediate product peptides was slower, with kcat/Km in the range 13-1.3 x 10(6) M-1.s-1. The value of Km determined for fast cleavage in the synthetic peptide was 8-10 microM. 1H-NMR spectroscopy indicated no ordered structure of the peptide. Hence, the very fast cleavage of the peptide is compatible with a loose structure that readily adopts a conformation favorable for recognition and cleavage by trypsin. 相似文献

The enzyme concentration dependence of spectrophotometric titrations of hog kidney D-amino acid oxidase [EC 1.4.3.3] with p-aminobenzoate was studied. The monomer-dimer equilibrium constant of the oxidized holoenzyme at 25 degrees C was estimated to be 7 X 10(5)M-1 at pH 7.5 and 4X 10(6)M-1 at pH 8.3. The energetics of subunit association are discussed. 相似文献
