Primary intrinsic deuterium and 13C isotope effects have been determined for liver (LADH) and yeast (YADH) alcohol dehydrogenases with benzyl alcohol as substrate and for yeast aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) with benzaldehyde as substrate. These values have also been determined for LADH as a function of changing nucleotide substrate. As the redox potential of the nucleotide changes from -0.320 V with NAD to -0.258 V with acetylpyridine-NAD, the product of primary and secondary deuterium isotope effects rises from 4 toward 6.5, while the primary 13C isotope effect drops from 1.025 to 1.012, suggesting a trend from a late transition state with NAD to one that is more symmetrical. The values of Dk (again the product of primary and secondary isotope effects) and 13k for YADH with NAD are 7 and 1.023, suggesting for this very slow reaction a more stretched, and thus symmetrical, transition state. With ALDH and NAD, the primary 13C isotope effect on the hydride transfer step lies in the range 1.3-1.6%, and the alpha-secondary deuterium isotope effect on the same step is at least 1.22, but 13C isotope effects on formation of the thiohemiacetal intermediate and on the addition of water to the thio ester intermediate are less than 1%. On the basis of the relatively large 13C isotope effects, we conclude that carbon motion is involved in the hydride transfer steps of dehydrogenase reactions. 相似文献

Kinetic studies on the reactions catalyzed by chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase from Aerobacter aerogenes. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Steady-state kinetic techniques have been used to investigate each of the reactions catalyzed by the bifunctional enzyme, chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase, from Aerobacter aerogenes. The results of steady-state velocity studies in the absence of products, as well as product and dead-end inhibition studies, suggest that the prephenate dehydrogenase reaction conforms to a rapid equilibrium random mechanism which involes the formation of two dead-end complexes, viz, enzyme-NADH-prephenate and enzyme-NAD+-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Chorismate functions as an activator of the dehydrogenase while both prephenate and hydroxyphenylpyruvate acted as competitive inhibitors in the mutase reaction. By contrast. bpth NAD+ and NADH function as activators of the mutase. Values of the kinetic parameters associated with the mutase and dehydrogenase reactions have been determined and the results discussed in terms of possible relationships between the catalytic sites for the two reactions. The data appear to be consistent with the enzyme having either a single site at which both reactions occur or two separate sites which possess similar kinetic properties. 相似文献

Secondary 15N isotope effects at the N-1 position of 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide have been determined, by using the internal competition technique, for horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) with cyclohexanol as a substrate and yeast formate dehydrogenase (FDH) with formate as a substrate. On the basis of less precise previous measurements of these 15N isotope effects, the nicotinamide ring of NAD has been suggested to adopt a boat conformation with carbonium ion character at C-4 during hydride transfer [Cook, P. F., Oppenheimer, N. J. & Cleland, W. W. (1981) Biochemistry 20, 1817]. If this mechanism were valid, as N-1 becomes pyramidal an 15N isotope effect of up to 2-3% would be observed. In the present study the equilibrium 15N isotope effect for the reaction catalyzed by LADH was measured as 1.0042 +/- 0.0007. The kinetic 15N isotope effect for LADH catalysis was 0.9989 +/- 0.0006 for cyclohexanol oxidation and 0.997 +/- 0.002 for cyclohexanone reduction. The kinetic 15N isotope effect for FDH catalysis was 1.004 +/- 0.001. These values suggest that a significant 15N kinetic isotope effect is not associated with hydride transfer for LADH and FDH. Thus, in contrast with the deformation mechanism previously postulated, the pyridine ring of the nucleotide apparently remains planar during these dehydrogenase reactions. 相似文献

Lipoamide dehydrogenase, a component of the bovine adrenal ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, catalyzes the oxidation of NADH by p-quinones and ferricyanide. The kinetics of oxidation obey the ping-pong mechanism. At pH 7.0, the constants for the active center oxidation by quinones (kox) are equal to 1.1 X 10(4)-5.3 X 10(5) M-1s-1 and increase as the acceptor potential rises. The values of kox for quinones change insignificantly within the pH range of 7.7-5.0, whereas that for ferricyanide increases 10-fold with a decrease of pH from 7.0 to 5.0. The value of the catalytic constant for the enzyme (kcat) reaches its maximum at pH 5.5. The quinones interact with the thiol groups of lipoamide dehydrogenase by inhibiting the fluorescence of FAD and diaphorease activity. The reaction is catalyzed by a basic amino acid (pK 6.7) within the composition of the enzyme. 相似文献

Crystalline (monomeric) soybean and (tetrameric) sweet potato beta-amylase were shown to catalyze the cis hydration of maltal (alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-2-deoxy-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol) to form beta-2-deoxymaltose. As reported earlier with the sweet potato enzyme, maltal hydration in D2O by soybean beta-amylase was found to exhibit an unusually large solvent deuterium kinetic isotope effect (VH/VD = 6.5), a reaction rate linearly dependent on the mole fraction of deuterium, and 2-deoxy-[2(a)-2H]maltose as product. These results indicate (for each beta-amylase) that protonation is the rate-limiting step in a reaction involving a nearly symmetric one-proton transition state and that maltal is specifically protonated from above the double bond. This is a different stereochemistry than reported for starch hydrolysis. With the hydration catalyzed in H2O and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, both sweet potato and soybean beta-amylase were found to convert maltal to the beta-anomer of 2-deoxymaltose. That maltal undergoes cis hydration provides evidence in support of a general-acid-catalyzed, carbonium ion mediated reaction. Of fundamental significance is that beta-amylase protonates maltal from a direction opposite that assumed for protonating starch, yet creates products of the same anomeric configuration from both. Such stereochemical dichotomy argues for the overriding role of protein structures in dictating the steric outcome of reactions catalyzed by a glycosylase, by limiting the approach and orientation of water or other acceptors to the reaction center. 相似文献

pH dependency of the reactions catalyzed by chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The variation with pH of the kinetic parameters associated with the mutase and dehydrogenase reactions catalyzed by chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase has been determined with the aim of elucidating the role that ionizing amino acid residues play in binding and catalysis. The pH dependency of log V for the dehydrogenase reaction shows that the enzyme possesses a single ionizing group with a pK value of 6.5 that must be unprotonated for catalysis. This same group is observed in the V/Kprephenate, as well as in the V/KNAD, profile. The V/Kprephenate profile exhibits a second ionizing residue with a pK value of 8.4 that must be protonated for the binding of prephenate to the enzyme. For the mutase reaction, the V/Kchorismate profile indicates the presence of three ionizing residues at the active site. Two of these residues, with similar pK values of about 7, must be protonated, while the third, with a pK value of 6.3, must be unprotonated. It can be concluded that all three groups are concerned with the binding of chorismate to the enzyme since the maximum velocity of the mutase reaction is essentially independent of pH. This conclusion is confirmed by the finding that the Ki profile for the competitive inhibitor, (3-endo,8-exo)-8-hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3]non-6-ene-3,5-dicarboxylic acid, shows the same three ionizing groups as observed in the V/Kchorismate profile. By contrast, the Ki profile for carboxyethyldihydrobenzoate shows only one residue, with a pK value of 7.3, that must be protonated for binding of the inhibitor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

In order to better understand how the complex, densely packed, heterogeneous milieu of a cell influences enzyme kinetics, we exposed opposing reactions catalyzed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH) to both synthetic and protein crowders ranging from 10 to 550 kDa. The results reveal that the effects from macromolecular crowding depend on the direction of the reaction. The presence of the synthetic polymers, Ficoll and dextran, decrease Vmax and Km for ethanol oxidation. In contrast, these crowders have little effect or even increase these kinetic parameters for acetaldehyde reduction. This increase in Vmax is likely due to excluded volume effects, which are partially counteracted by viscosity hindering release of the NAD+ product. Macromolecular crowding is further complicated by the presence of a depletion layer in solutions of dextran larger than YADH, which diminishes the hindrance from viscosity. The disparate effects from 25 g/L dextran or glucose compared to 25 g/L Ficoll or sucrose reveals that soft interactions must also be considered. Data from binary mixtures of glucose, dextran, and Ficoll support this “tuning” of opposing factors. While macromolecular crowding was originally proposed to influence proteins mainly through excluded volume effects, this work compliments the growing body of evidence revealing that other factors, such as preferential hydration, chemical interactions, and the presence of a depletion layer also contribute to the overall effect of crowding. 相似文献

The influence of chromatin structure on induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by X radiation was studied in DNA from CHO cells. Whole cells, nuclei with condensed or relaxed chromatin, and deproteinized DNA in agarose plugs were irradiated and DSB formation was measured as a decrease in the length of DNA by nondenaturing, pulsed-field, agarose gel electrophoresis. The yield of DSBs in deproteinized DNA (2.3 x 10(-10) DSBs Da-1 Gy-1) was observed to be 70 times greater than the yield of DSBs (3.1 x 10(-12) DSBs Da-1 Gy-1) observed in DNA in the intact cell nucleus. Organization of DNA into the basic nucleosome repeat structure and condensation of the chromatin fiber into higher-order structure protected DNA from DSB induction by factors of 8.3 and 4.5, respectively. An additional twofold protection of DNA in fully condensed chromatin occurred in the intact cell nucleus. Since this protection did not appear to involve chromatin structure, we speculate that this additional protection may result from the association of soluble protein and nonprotein sulfhydryls with DNA in the intact cell nucleus. The results are consistent with the organization of nuclear DNA into both basic nucleosome repeat structure and higher-order chromatin structure providing significant protection against DSB induction. 相似文献

Burst titration experiments conducted on a highly purified isoenzyme of wheat germ acid phosphatase under conditions where [S]o > Km indicate that there is one titratable active site per molecule of enzyme of molecular weight 59,000. The enzyme is labeled to only a small extent with inorganic [32P]phosphate ion. Incubation of wheat germ acid phosphatase with 32P-labeled substrates such as p-nitrophenyl phosphate or inorganic pyrophosphate followed by quenching in alkali results in the stoichiometric trapping of a base-stable, acid-labile phosphorylated protein. The extent of 32P incorporation parallels the degree of purity of the enzyme and corresponds to the incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate per mole of enzyme. The incorporation is eliminated by the simultaneous presence of excess unlabeled phosphate ion (a competitive inhibitor) and is not observed when a noncatalytic protein (such as bovine serum albumin) is substituted for the enzyme. Complete alkaline hydrolysis of the labeled protein results in the recovery of an 85% yield of τ-phosphohistidine, identified by ion-exchange chromatography, high-voltage paper electrophoresis, and comparison with a synthetic sample. A 32P-labeled tryptic tetradecapeptide was isolated following hydrolysis of the labeled, reduced, and carboxymethylated protein with trypsin at pH 8.3, separation of the labeled peptide, and purification by two methods including a novel variant of a diagonal electrophoresis technique. The end groups and composition of the peptide are reported. The data are consistent with the interpretation that a phosphohistidine-enzyme intermediate is formed as an obligatory intermediate in the catalytic reaction involving this enzyme. 相似文献

Growth temperature affects both the structure and the phage-inactivating capacity of Salmonella anatum A1 lipopolysaccharide. Whereas S. anatum cells normally synthesize smooth lipopolysaccharide when grown at physiological temperature (37 degrees C), a partial smooth-rough transition occurs when cells are grown at low temperature (20 to 25 degrees C). The synthesis at low growth temperature of lipopolysaccharide molecules lacking O-antigen was detected both by increased sensitivity of cells to the rough-specific bacteriophage Felix O-1 and by fractionation of oligosaccharides derived from lipopolysaccharide by mild acid hydrolysis. Growth temperature-induced changes in the structure of S. anatum A1 lipopolysaccharide also affected its ability to inactivate epsilon15, a bacteriophage that binds initially to the O-antigen portion of the molecule. Purified lipopolysaccharide prepared from cells grown at low growth temperature exhibited a higher in vitro phage-inactivating capacity than did lipopolysaccharide prepared from cells grown at physiological temperature (37 degrees C). 相似文献

Formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2) prepared from peas (Pisum sativum) was a two-subunit enzyme. The enzyme accelerated the formation of an NAD+-cyanide compound having an adsorption band at 330 nm. The enzyme was able to bind one NAD+ molecule per each subunit but only 1 mole of NAD+-cyanide compound was formed per two subunits. The complex of NAD+, cyanide, and the enzyme was very stable and had no catalytic activity. Azide inhibited the formate dehydrogenase reaction in two different ways. By incubation of the enzyme with azide in the presence of NAD+, half of its catalytic activity was lost. The remaining activity was also inhibited by azide but this inhibition was removed competively by formate. Contrary to the case of cyanide the inhibition by azide could be removed by dialysis and no spectral species due to the addition compound of NAD+ and azide could be observed. The data from double recipricol plots of the initial velocity and the formate concentration led to a conclusion that formate dehydrogenase has two sites with about equal catalytic activity. The Km for formate was different for the two catalytic sites (1.67 and 6.25 mM) but the difference was not noticeable in the case of the Km for NAD+. 相似文献
