The cleavage of P1-(7-methylguanosyl-5') P3-(guanosyl-5') triphosphate, a RNA 5'-cap model, by 2-hydroxyethyl- (6a-6c) and 2-aminoethyl- (7a-7c) substituted macrocycles in the presence and absence of Zn2+ and Cu2+ ions has been studied at pH 7.2 and 60 degrees. In the presence of the metal ions, hydrolysis of the phosphate group is enhanced. The mono- and dinuclear Zn2+ complexes promote solely the phosphate hydrolysis, whereas the corresponding Cu2+ complexes accelerate both the phosphate hydrolysis and the imidazole ring opening of the 7-methylguanine base. In the absence of the metal ions, the macrocycles mainly promote breakdown of the 7-methylguanine base, most probably by enhancing the nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion on the C(8)-atom by shielding the repulsive negative charge on the phosphate moiety. The 2-hydroxyethyl and 2-aminoethyl side arms exhibit a two- to three-fold rate acceleration. Opening of the imidazole ring eventually results in cleavage of the triphosphate bridge. 相似文献

In the presence of ATP, luciferin (LH2), Mg2+ and pyrophosphatase, the firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase synthesizes diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) through formation of the E-LH2-AMP complex and transfer of AMP to ATP. The maximum rate of the synthesis is observed at pH 5.7. The Km values for luciferin and ATP are 2-3 microM and 4 mM, respectively. The synthesis is strictly dependent upon luciferin and a divalent metal cation. Mg2+ can be substituted with Zn2+, Co2+ or Mn2+, which are about half as active as Mg2+, as well as with Ni2+, Cd2+ or Ca2+, which, at 5 mM concentration, are 12-20-fold less effective than Mg2+. ATP is the best substrate of the above reaction, but it can be substituted with adenosine 5'-tetraphosphate (p4A), dATP, and GTP, and thus the luciferase synthesizes the corresponding homo-dinucleoside polyphosphates:diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P5-pentaphosphate (Ap5A), dideoxyadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (dAp4dA) and diguanosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Gp4G). In standard reaction mixtures containing ATP and a different nucleotide (p4A, dATP, adenosine 5'-[alpha,beta-methylene]-triphosphate, (Ap[CH2]pp), (S')-adenosine-5'-[alpha-thio]triphosphate [Sp)ATP[alpha S]) and GTP], luciferase synthesizes, in addition to Ap4A, the corresponding hetero-dinucleoside polyphosphates, Ap5A, adenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphodeoxyadenosine (Ap4dA), diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-[alpha,beta-methylene] tetraphosphate (Ap[CH2]pppA), (Sp-diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-[alpha-thio]tetraphosphate [Sp)Ap4A[alpha S]) and adenosine-5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphoguanosine (Ap4G), respectively. Adenine nucleotides, with at least a 3-phosphate chain and with an intact alpha-phosphate, are the preferred substrates for the formation of the enzyme-nucleotidyl complex. Nucleotides best accepting AMP from the E-LH2-AMP complex are those which contain at least a 3-phosphate chain and an intact terminal pyrophosphate moiety. ADP or other NDP are poor adenylate acceptors as very little diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphate (Ap3A) or adenosine-5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphonucleosides (Ap3N) are formed. In the presence of NTP (excepting ATP), luciferase is able to split Ap4A, transferring the resulting adenylate to NTP, to form hetero-dinucleoside polyphosphates. In the presence of PPi, luciferase is also able to split Ap4A, yielding ATP. The cleavage of Ap4A in the presence of Pi or ADP takes place at a very low rate. The synthesis of dinucleoside polyphosphates, catalyzed by firefly luciferase, is compared with that catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and Ap4A phosphorylase. 相似文献

Diadenosine polyphosphates (diadenosine 5',5'-P(1),P(n)-polyphosphate (Ap(n)A)) are 5'-5'-phosphate-bridged dinucleosides that have been proposed to act as signaling molecules in a variety of biological systems. Isothermal titration calorimetry was used to measure the affinities of a variety of metal cations for ATP, diadenosine 5',5'-P(1),P(3)-triphosphate (Ap(3)A), diadenosine 5',5'-P(1),P(4)-tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A), and diadenosine 5',5'-P(1),P(5)-pentaphosphate (Ap(5)A). The binding of Mg(2+), Ca(2+), and Mn(2+) to ATP is shown to take place with the beta,gamma-phosphates (primary site) and be endothermic in character. The binding of Ni(2+), Cd(2+), and Zn(2+) to ATP is found to take place at both the primary site and at a secondary site identified as N-7 of the adenine ring. Binding to this second site is exothermic in character. Generally, the binding of metal cations to diadenosine polyphosphates involves a similar primary site to ATP. No exothermic binding events are identified. Critically, the binding of Zn(2+) to diadenosine polyphosphates proves to be exceptional. This appears to involve a very high affinity association involving the N-7 atoms of both adenine rings in each Ap(n)A, as well as the more usual endothermic association with the phosphate chain. The high affinity association is also endothermic in character. A combination of NMR and CD evidence is provided in support of the calorimetry data demonstrating chemical shift changes and base stacking disruptions entirely consistent with N-7 bridging interactions. N-7 bridging interactions are entirely reversible, as demonstrated by EDTA titration. Considering the effects of Zn(2+) on a wide variety of dinucleoside polyphosphate-metabolizing enzymes, we examine the possibility of Zn(2+) acting as an atomic switch to control the biological function of the diadenosine polyphosphates. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of a 5' cap analogue, diadenosinyl-5',5'-triphosphate (ApppA), and two dinucleoside monophosphates: adenylyl(3',5')adenosine (ApA) and uridylyl(3',5')uridine (UpU) promoted by an imidazolate-bridged heterobinuclear copper(II)-zinc(II) complex, Cu(II)-diethylenetriamino-micro-imidazolato-Zn(II)- tris(aminoethyl)amine trisperchlorate (denoted as Cu,Zn-complex in the followings) has been investigated. Kinetic measurements were performed in order to explore the effects of pH, the total concentration of the Cu,Zn-complex and temperature on the cleavage rate. The catalytic activity of the Cu,Zn-complex was quantified by pseudo-first-order rate constants obtained in the excess of the cleaving agent. The results show that the Cu,Zn-complex and its deprotonated forms have phosphoesterase activity and with ApppA the metal complex promoted cleavage takes place selectively within the triphosphate bridge. 相似文献

An 18 S multienzyme complex of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases is found to be active in the synthesis of diadenosine-5',5'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (AppppA). Most of the activity is attributed to lysyl-tRNA synthetase in the complex. Free lysyl-tRNA synthetase dissociated from the synthetase complex is about 6-fold more active than the complex in AppppA synthesis, while their apparent Michaelis constants for ATP and lysine are similar. AMP, which reportedly activates AppppA synthesis (Hilderman, R.H. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4353-4357), has no effect on AppppA synthesis. The higher activity of free Lys-tRNA synthetase is in part due to the higher stimulation of AppppA synthesis by Zn2+. These results suggest that association of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases may affect AppppA synthesis. 相似文献

We describe the properties of a 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.16), found in Fusarium culmorum, which hydrolyzes nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic monophosphates to nucleoside 3'-phosphates. In contrast with a similar enzyme found in bacteria, the Fusarium enzyme does not exhibit nucleotidase activity and does not show a requirement for metal ions, but is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of Cu++ and Zn++, and is very stable to heat. This cyclic phosphodiesterase hydrolyzes the four major nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic monophosphates and has greater affinity for purine (Kms for Ado-2',3'-P = 0.3 mM and for Guo-2',3'-P = 0.1 mM) than for pyrimidine nucleotides (Kms for Cyd-2',3'-P = 0.6 mM and for Urd-2',3'-P = 2 mM). The respective Vmax for Urd-2',3'-P; Cyd-2',3'-P; Ado-2',3'-P; and Guo-2',3' are 100:45:16:5. The efficacy of the phosphodiesterase to hydrolyze the four major 2',3' cyclic nucleotides (based on the relative values of Vmax/Km) is not significantly different. The Fusarium enzyme differs from a previously described 2',3' cyclic phosphodiesterase from Neurospora, in that it is inactive on 3',5'-nucleoside monophosphates and nucleoside 2' or 3' phosphates. 相似文献

Asymmetrical diadenosine 5',5'-P(1)P(4) tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A) hydrolases are key enzymes controlling the in vivo concentration of Ap(4)A--an important signaling molecule involved in regulation of DNA replication and repair, signaling in stress response and apoptosis. Sequence homologies indicate that the genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana contains at least three open reading frames encoding presumptive Ap(4)A hydrolases: At1g30110, At3g10620, and At5g06340. In this work we present efficient overexpression and detailed biochemical characteristics of the AtNUDX25 protein encoded by the At1g30110 gene. Aided by the determination of the binding constants of Mn(Ap(4)A) and Mg(Ap(4)A) complexes using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) we show that AtNUDX25 preferentially hydrolyzes Ap(4)A in the form of a Mn(2+) complex. 相似文献

The ability of bimetallic homo- and heteronuclear complexes of two spiro-linked ligands, viz. a biazacrown (i.e., 2,6,10,14,18,22-hexaazaspiro[11.11]tricosane (1)) and an azacrown-crown ether (i.e., 14,17,20,23,26-pentaoxa-2,6,10-triaza-spiro[11.15]heptacosane (2)), to promote the cleavage of the phosphoester linkage of dinucleoside 3',5'-phosphates and the phosphoric anhydride bridge of dinucleoside 5',5'-triphosphates was studied. In both reactions, the bimetallic homonuclear Cu2+ and Zn2+ complexes were better catalysts than their monometallic counterparts. The acceleration was two- to five-fold with the phosphoester cleavage and 3- to 20-fold with the phosphoric anhydride cleavage. Interestingly, the most-efficient catalyst of the phosphoester cleavage was the heterodinuclear Ni2+,Zn2+ complex of 1, the catalytic activity of which was up to 5- and 100-fold that of the homodinuclear Zn2+ and Ni2+ complexes, respectively. Moreover, this cooperative acceleration was observed to depend on the identity of the 5'-linked nucleoside: 3',5'-UpU and 3',5'-ApU were cleaved much faster than 3',5'-UpA, and no cooperative acceleration was observed with 3',5'-ApA. The reaction was second-order in hydroxide ion concentration, suggesting that a double deprotonation took place on going from the initial to the transition state. Evidently, in addition to deprotonation of the attacking 2'-OH group, N(3)H of the 5'-linked uridine was displaced by one of the metal ions of the cleaving agent. With the phosphoric anhydride cleavage, no similar cooperativity of two different metal ions was observed, but the greatest rate-acceleration was achieved with the homodinuclear Cu2+ complexes. 相似文献

Characterisation of a bis(5'-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphatase (asymmetrical) from Drosophila melanogaster
Winward L Whitfield WG Woodman TJ McLennan AG Safrany ST 《The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology》2007,39(5):943-954
The intracellular functions of diadenosine polyphosphates are still poorly defined. To understand these better, we have expressed and characterized a heat stable, 16.6kDa Nudix hydrolase (Apf) that specifically metabolizes these nucleotides from a Drosophila melanogaster cDNA. Apf always produces an NTP product, with substrate preference depending on pH and divalent ion (Zn(2+) or Mg(2+)). For example, diadenosine tetraphosphate is hydrolysed to ATP and AMP with K(m), k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m) values 9microM, 43s(-1) and 4.8microM(-1)s(-1) (pH 6.5, 0.1mMZn(2+)) and 12microM, 13s(-1) and 1.1microM(-1)s(-1) (pH 7.5, 20mMMg(2+)), respectively. However, diadenosine hexaphosphate is efficiently hydrolysed to ATP only at pH 7.5 with 20mMMg(2+) (K(m), k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m) values of 15microM 4.0s(-1), and 0.27microM(-1)s(-1)). Fluoride potently inhibits diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolysis in the presence of Mg(2+) (IC(50)=20microM), whereas it is ineffective in the presence of Zn(2+), supporting the view that inhibition involves a specific, MgF(3)(-)-containing transition state analogue complex. Patterns of Apf expression in Drosophila tissues show Apf mRNA levels to be highest in embryos and adult females. Subcellular localization with Apf-EGFP fusion constructs reveals Apf to be predominantly nuclear, having an apparent preferential association with euchromatin and facultative heterochromatin. This supports a nuclear function for diadenosine tetraphosphate. Our results show Apf to be a fairly typical member of the bis (5'-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphatase subfamily of Nudix hydrolases with features that distinguish it from a previously reported bis (5'-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphatase hydrolase activity from Drosophila embryos. 相似文献

A chitosan-thioglyceraldehyde Schiff's base cross-linked magnetic resin (CSTG) was prepared and characterized using various instrumental methods. Then, the prepared resin was used for comparative studies on the removal of toxic metal ions like: Hg(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) from aqueous solutions. The effects of the initial pH value of the solution, contact time, the initial metal ion concentration and temperature on the adsorption capacity of the composite were investigated. The kinetics data were analyzed by pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order equations. The adsorption kinetics was well described by the pseudo-second order equation, and the adsorption isotherms were better fitted by the Langmuir equation. The maximum theoretical adsorption capacities of the CSTG resin for Hg(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) were found to be 98±2, 76±1 and 52±1 mg g(-1), respectively. The negative values of Gibbs free energy of adsorption (ΔG(ads°) indicated the spontaneity of the adsorption of all metal ions on the novel resin. 相似文献

Divalent metal ions are required for splicing of group I introns, but their role in maintaining the structure of the active site is still under investigation. Ribonuclease and hydroxyl radical footprinting of a small group I intron from Azoarcus pre-tRNA(Ile) showed that tertiary interactions between helical domains are stable in a variety of cations. Only Mg(2+), however, induced a conformational change in the intron core that correlates with self-splicing activity. Three metal ion binding sites in the catalytic core were identified by Tb(III)-dependent cleavage. Two of these are near bound substrates in a three-dimensional model of the ribozyme. A third metal ion site is near an A minor motif in P3. In the pre-tRNA, Tb(3+) cleavage was redirected to the 5' and 3' splice sites, consistent with metal-dependent activation of splice site phosphodiesters. The results show that many counterions induce global folding, but organization of the group I active site is specifically linked to Mg(2+) binding at a few sites. 相似文献

Diadenosine polyphosphates (ApnAs) act as extracellular signaling molecules in a broad variety of tissues. They were shown to be hydrolyzed by surface-located enzymes in an asymmetric manner, generating AMP and Apn-1 from ApnA. The molecular identity of the enzymes responsible remains unclear. We analyzed the potential of NPP1, NPP2, and NPP3, the three members of the ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family, to hydrolyze the diadenosine polyphosphates diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphate (Ap3A), diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A), and diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P5-pentaphosphate, (Ap5A), and the diguanosine polyphosphate, diguanosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Gp4G). Each of the three enzymes hydrolyzed Ap3A, Ap4A, and Ap5A at comparable rates. Gp4G was hydrolyzed by NPP1 and NPP2 at rates similar to Ap4A, but only at half this rate by NPP3. Hydrolysis was asymmetric, involving the alpha,beta-pyrophosphate bond. ApnA hydrolysis had a very alkaline pH optimum and was inhibited by EDTA. Michaelis constant (Km) values for Ap3A were 5.1 micro m, 8.0 micro m, and 49.5 micro m for NPP1, NPP2, and NPP3, respectively. Our results suggest that NPP1, NPP2, and NPP3 are major enzyme candidates for the hydrolysis of extracellular diadenosine polyphosphates in vertebrate tissues. 相似文献

The nuclease domain of ColE7 (N-ColE7) contains an H-N-H motif that folds in a beta beta alpha-metal topology. Here we report the crystal structures of a Zn2+-bound N-ColE7 (H545E mutant) in complex with a 12-bp duplex DNA and a Ni2+-bound N-ColE7 in complex with the inhibitor Im7 at a resolution of 2.5 A and 2.0 A, respectively. Metal-dependent cleavage assays showed that N-ColE7 cleaves double-stranded DNA with a single metal ion cofactor, Ni2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+. ColE7 purified from Escherichia coli contains an endogenous zinc ion that was not replaced by Mg2+ at concentrations of <25 mM, indicating that zinc is the physiologically relevant metal ion in N-ColE7 in host E. coli. In the crystal structure of N-ColE7/DNA complex, the zinc ion is directly coordinated to three histidines and the DNA scissile phosphate in a tetrahedral geometry. In contrast, Ni2+ is bound in N-ColE7 in two different modes, to four ligands (three histidines and one phosphate ion), or to five ligands with an additional water molecule. These data suggest that the divalent metal ion in the His-metal finger motif can be coordinated to six ligands, such as Mg2+ in I-PpoI, Serratia nuclease and Vvn, five ligands or four ligands, such as Ni2+ or Zn2+ in ColE7. Universally, the metal ion in the His-metal finger motif is bound to the DNA scissile phosphate and serves three roles during hydrolysis: polarization of the P-O bond for nucleophilic attack, stabilization of the phosphoanion transition state and stabilization of the cleaved product. 相似文献

Tandem synthetic-biosynthetic procedures were used to prepare two novel fluorescent labelled affinity probes for diadenosine-5',5'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A)-binding studies. These compounds (dial-mant-Ap4A and azido-mant-Ap4A) are shown to clearly distinguish known Ap4A-binding proteins from Escherichia coli (LysU and GroEL) and a variety of other control proteins. Successful labelling of chaperonin GroEL appears to be allosteric with respect to the well-characterized adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-binding site, suggesting that GroEL possesses a distinct Ap4A-binding site. 相似文献

Derivatives of the oligomer [d(GGAATTCC)]2 with 5' (5'-P), 3' (3'-P) and both 5' and 3' (5',3'-P2) terminal phosphate groups have been synthesized and studied by temperature dependent UV and NMR spectroscopic methods. Thermodynamic studies of the helix to strand transition indicate that addition of 3' phosphate groups has very little effect on the delta G degree for helix formation at 37 degrees C while addition of 5' phosphate groups adds approximately -0.5 kcal/mole to the delta G degree for duplex formation. The helix stabilization by 5' phosphate groups occurs at salt concentrations of 0.1 M and above, and is primarily enthalpic in origin. Tm studies as a function of ionic strength also indicate that the oligomers fall into two groups with the parent and 3'-P derivatives being similar but less stable than the 5'-P and 5',3'-P2 derivatives. Imino proton and 31P NMR studies also divide the oligomers into these same two groups based on spectral comparisons and temperature induced chemical shift and linewidth changes. 31P NMR analysis suggests that addition of 5' phosphate groups results in a small change in phosphodiester torsional angles in the g,t to g,g direction, indicating improved base stacking at the 5' end of the modified oligomer. No such changes are seen at the 3' end of the oligomer on adding 3' phosphate groups. 相似文献

Three distinct enzymes hydrolyzing either ApppA or AppppA, or both, were separated and purified from yellow lupin seed extracts. Two of the enzymes were purified to homogeneity. These enzymes differ greatly in their catalytic and physical properties. One hydrolase, with a native molecular weight of 41,000, exhibits broad pH (from 5-8) optimum for activity, requires Mg2+ for activity, is inhibited by zinc ions (I0.5 = 25 microM) and hydrolyses ApppA (V = 1), ApppC (V = 0.38), ApppG (V = 0.2), and ribose(5')pppA (V = 0.2). The enzyme exhibits much lower activity with AppppA (V = 0.1), and ApppppA, AppppppA, ppppA, and ATP are hydrolyzed 25- to 100-fold slower then ApppA. ADP was always one of the products of the reactions catalyzed by the enzyme. AppA, NAD, NADP, FAD, cAMP, and p-nitrophenyl-thymidine 5'-phosphate were not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The enzyme is diadenosine 5',5"'-P1, P3-triphosphatase. The second hydrolase, composed of one polypeptide chain of a molecular weight 18,000-18,500, exhibits optimal activity in the pH range from 7.5-9, requires Mg2+ for activity, is inhibited by calcium ions (I0.5 for calcium depends on the concentration of Mg2+ and is 35-180 microM in the presence of 0.5-10 mM Mg2+, respectively), and hydrolyzes AppppA (V = 1, Km = 1 microM), ApppppA (V = 0.42, Km = 1.8 microM), AppppppA (V = 0.34), AppppU (V = 0.73), AppppC (V = 0.67), AppppG (V = 0.27), and ppppA. ATP was always one of the products of the reactions catalyzed by the enzyme. Dinucleoside di- and triphosphates, ATP, cAMP, and p-nitrophenylthymidine 5'-phosphate were not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. This enzyme is diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.17). The third hydrolase, composed of one polypeptide chain of a molecular weight of 56,000, exhibits maximal activity at pH 9-10.5, does not require Mg2+ ions for activity, is inhibited neither by divalent cations (Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Mn2+, or Ni2+) nor by EDTA, and uses as substrates all compounds which are substrates for the diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphatase and diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphatase. In addition, the enzyme hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl-thymidine 5'-phosphate, p-nitrophenylthymidine 3'-phosphate, bis-p-nitrophenylphosphate, ADP, AppA, NAD, NADP, and FAD, but not cAMP. With the exception of p-nitrophenylphosphate derivatives all other substrates of the enzyme yield AMP as one of the products of hydrolysis. This enzyme has a specificity similar to that of phosphodiesterases (EC 3.1.4.1) from other sources. With the lupin phosphodiesterase, ApppA (V = 1, Km = 2.2 microM) and AppppA (V = 1, Km = 2.0 microM) are better substrates than NAD (V = 0.8, Km = 9.6 microM), AppA (V = 0.4), ApppppA (V = 0.6), and AppppppA (V = 0.34). 相似文献

Eukaryotic cells utilize scavenger decapping enzymes to degrade cap structure following 3'-5' mRNA decay. Human DcpS recently has been described as a highly specific hydrolase (a member of the HIT family) that catalyses the cleavage of m(7)GpppG and short capped oligoribonucleotides. We have demonstrated here that cap-1 (m(7)GpppGm) is a preferred substrate among several investigated dinucleotide cap analogues m(7)Gp(n)N (n = 3-5, N is a purine or pyrimidine base) and m(7)GMP is always one of the reaction product. Cap analogues containing pyrimidine base instead of guanine or diphosphate chain are resistant to hydrolysis catalyzed by human scavenger. Contrary to the other enzymes of HIT family, hDcpS activity is not stimulated by Mg(2+). 相似文献

The P1P4-bis(5'-nucleosidyl) tetraphosphate asymmetrical-pyrophosphohydrolase from encysted embryos of the brine shrimp Artemia has been purified over 11,000-fold to homogeneity. Anion-exchange chromatography resolves two major species with very similar properties. The enzyme is a single polypeptide of Mr 17,600 and is maximally active at pH 8.4 and 2 mM-Mg2+. It is inhibited by Ca2+ (IC50 = 0.9 mM with 2 mM-Mg2+) but not by Zn2+ ions. It preferentially hydrolyses P1P4-bis(5'-nucleosidyl) tetraphosphates, e.g. P1P4-bis(5'-adenosyl) tetraphosphate (Ap4A) (kcat. = 12.7 s-1; Km = 33 microM) and P1P4-bis(5'-guanosyl) tetraphosphate (Gp4G) (kcat. = 6.2 s-1; Km = 5 microM). With adenosine 5'-P1-tetraphospho-P4-5"'-guanosine (Ap4G) as substrate, there is a 4.5-fold preference for AMP and GTP as products and biphasic reaction kinetics are observed giving Km values of 4.7 microM and 34 microM, and corresponding rate constants of 6.5 s-1 and 11.9 s-1. The net rate constant for Ap4G hydrolysis is 7.6 s-1. The enzyme will also hydrolyse nucleotides with more than four phosphate groups, e.g. Ap5G, Ap6A and Gp5G are hydrolysed at 25%, 18% and 10% of the rate of Ap4A respectively. An NTP is always one of the products. Ap2A and Gp2G are not hydrolysed, while Ap3A and Gp3G are very poor substrates. When the enzyme is partially purified from embryos and larvae at different stages of development by sedimentation through a sucrose density gradient, its activity increases 3-fold during the first 12 h of pre-emergence development. This is followed by a slow decline during subsequent larval development. The similarity of this enzyme to other asymmetrical-pyrophosphohydrolases suggests that it did not evolve specifically to degrade the large yolk platelet store of Gp4G which is found in Artemia embryos, but that it probably serves the same general function in bis(5'-nucleosidyl) oligophosphate metabolism as in other cells. 相似文献

The stability constants of the supramolecular complexes formed between L ((a,b,c,d)) or their Zn(2+) complexes, and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in aqueous solution were determined by potentiometric titrations (25 degrees C, I = 0.1 mol dm(-3) KNO(3)). The results show that protonated aliphatic-substituted L (a,d) and aromatic-substituted L (b,c) ligands and/or Zn(II) ion can efficiently recognition the substrate, ATP. All of the equilibrium studies, (1)H and (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra indicate that multiple interactions, including coordination, pi-stacking, ion-pairing, H-bonding, and possible ion-pi-donor, hydrophobic and even van der Waals interactions exist in the Zn(II)-L-ATP systems. On the other hand, the recognition of the substrates by the protonated ligands was significantly promoted by the addition of Zn(II), which leads to coordination competition between the mixed ligands, L and nucleotide. In Zn(II)/L/ATP systems the tendency for phosphate chain to receive proton and metal ion increases, facilitating the cleavage of the phosphate chain of the nucleotide. 相似文献
