Metallo-beta-lactamases are native zinc enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of beta-lactam antibiotics, but are also able to function with cobalt(II) and require one or two metal-ions for catalytic activity. The hydrolysis of cefoxitin, cephaloridine and benzylpenicillin catalysed by CoBcII (cobalt-substituted beta-lactamase from Bacillus cereus) has been studied at different pHs and metal-ion concentrations. An enzyme group of pK(a) 6.52+/-0.1 is found to be required in its deprotonated form for metal-ion binding and catalysis. The species that results from the loss of one cobalt ion from the enzyme has no significant catalytic activity and is thought to be the mononuclear CoBcII. It appears that dinuclear CoBcII is the active form of the enzyme necessary for turnover, while the mononuclear CoBcII is only involved in substrate binding. The cobalt-substituted enzyme is a more efficient catalyst than the native enzyme for the hydrolysis of some beta-lactam antibiotics suggesting that the role of the metal-ion is predominantly to provide the nucleophilic hydroxide, rather than to act as a Lewis acid to polarize the carbonyl group and stabilize the oxyanion tetrahedral intermediate. 相似文献

The chemical shift of the carboxylate carbon of Z-tryptophan is increased from 179.85 to 182.82 ppm and 182.87 ppm on binding to thermolysin and stromelysin-1 respectively. The chemical shift of Z-phenylalanine is also increased from 179.5 ppm to 182.9 ppm on binding to thermolysin. From pH studies we conclude that the pK(a) of the inhibitor carboxylate group is lowered by at least 1.5 pK(a) units when it binds to either enzyme. The signal at ~183 ppm is no longer observed when the active site zinc atom of thermolysin or stromelysin-1 is replaced by cobalt. We estimate that the distance of the carboxylate carbon of Z-[1-(13)C]-L-tryptophan is ≤3.71? from the active site cobalt atom of thermolysin. We conclude that the side chain of Z-[1-(13)C]-L-tryptophan is not bound in the S(2)' subsite of thermolysin. As the chemical shifts of the carboxylate carbons of the bound inhibitors are all ~183 ppm we conclude that they are all bound in a similar way most probably with the inhibitor carboxylate group directly coordinated to the active site zinc atom. Our spectrophotometric results confirm that the active site zinc atom is tetrahedrally coordinated when the inhibitors Z-tryptophan or Z-phenylalanine are bound to thermolysin. 相似文献

Thermolysin is remarkably activated and stabilized by neutral salts with varying degrees depending on salt species, and particular surface residues are thought to be especially important in its activity and stability [Inouye, K. (1992) J. Biochem. 112, 335-340; Inouye, K. et al. (1998) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1388, 209-214]. In this study, we examined the mutational effects of the surface residues of thermolysin. Gln128 and Gln225 were selected as the residues to be mutated because they are located on the surface loop and close to but not in the active site (23.5 and 15.8 A far from the active site zinc ion, respectively) and fully solvent accessible. Nine single mutants [Q128K (Gln128 is replaced with Lys), Q128E, Q128A, Q225K, Q225R, Q225E, Q225D, Q225A and Q225V] were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutational changes in catalytic activity were found only in the mutant thermolysins having a hydrophobic residue at the position 225 (Q225A and Q225V). In the hydrolysis of a neutral substrate N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-glycyl-l-leucine amide (FAGLA), the alkaline pK(a) value of Q225A is 8.48 +/- 0.04, being higher by 0.42 +/- 0.07 units than that of the wild-type thermolysin. The k(cat)/K(m) value of the wild-type enzyme is enhanced 14 times with 4 M NaCl, and those of Q225A and Q225V are enhanced 10 and 19 times, respectively. In the hydrolysis of a negatively charged substrate N-carbobenzoxy-l-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine methyl ester (ZDFM), unlike FAGLA, the initial velocities of Q225A and Q225V decreased to 30 and 50% of that of the wild-type enzyme, respectively. Their thermal stability is similar to that of the wild-type enzyme. These findings indicate that even a single mutation at the thermolysin surface induces changes in the electrostatic environment in the active site and affects the activity. Thus, site-directed mutagenesis of surface residues of thermolysin, including apparently thermodynamically unfavorable introduction of hydrophobic residues, should be explored to improve its activity and stability. 相似文献

It has been reported that neutral salts such as NaCl activate the thermolysin-catalyzed hydrolysis of substrates containing glycine at the P1 position (carboxylic side of the cleavage bond) [Holmquist, B. & Vallee, B.L. (1976) Biochemistry 15, 101-107]. In this paper, we demonstrate that high concentrations (1-4 M) of neutral salts greatly enhance the thermolysin activity in both hydrolysis and synthesis of N-carbobenzoxy-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (ZAPM), a precursor of a peptide sweetener, aspartame, in which the L-aspartyl residue is the P1 residue. The enzyme activity is enhanced with an increase in salt concentration in a pseudo-exponential fashion. The degree of activation by salts was in the order LiCl > NaCl > KCl. The rate of ZAPM hydrolysis in the presence of 3.8 M NaCl was 6-7 times higher than that in its absence, and 50 times or more activation is expected in saturated NaCl solution. The activation is brought about solely through an increase in the catalytic constant (kcat), and the Michaelis constant (Km) is not affected at all by the presence of NaCl. On mixing thermolysin with NaCl, a unique absorption difference spectrum suggesting a conformational change of the enzyme was observed. The intensity increased in a pseudo-exponential fashion with increase of NaCl concentration up to 3 M, and this dependence is similar to that of the enzyme activity. 相似文献

The absorption spectrum of cobalt(II)-substituted Aeromonas aminopeptidase is markedly perturbed by the presence of equimolar concentrations of D-amino acid hydroxamates and acyl hydroxamates that have previously been shown to be powerful inhibitors of this enzyme (Wilkes, S. H., and Prescott, J. M. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 13517-13521). D-Valine hydroxamate produces the most distinctive perturbation, splitting the characteristic 527 nm absorption peak of the cobalt enzyme to form peaks at 564, 520, and 487 nm with molar extinction values of 126, 98, and 67 M-1 cm-1, respectively. A qualitatively similar perturbation, albeit with lower extinction values, results from the addition of D-leucine hydroxamate, whereas D-alanine hydroxamate perturbs the spectrum, but does not evoke the peak at 564 nm. In contrast, hydroxamates of L-valine and L-leucine in concentrations equi-molar to that of the enzyme produce only faint indications of change in the spectrum, but the hydroxamates of several other L-amino acids perturb the spectrum essentially independently of the identity of the side chain and in a qualitatively different manner from that of D-valine hydroxamate and D-leucine hydroxamate. At the high enzyme:substrate ratios used in the spectral experiments, L-leucine hydroxamate and L-valine hydroxamate proved to be rapidly hydrolyzed, hence their inability to perturb the spectrum of the cobalt-substituted enzyme during the time course of a spectral experiment. Values of kcat for L-amino acid hydroxamates, all of which are good reversible inhibitors of the hydrolysis of L-leucine-p-nitroanilide by Aeromonas aminopeptidase, were found to range from 0.01 min-1 to 5.6 min-1 for the native enzyme and from 0.27 min-1 to 108 min-1 for the cobalt-substituted enzyme; their km values toward the cobalt aminopeptidase range from 1.2 X 10(-7) M to 1.9 X 10(-5) M. The mutual exclusivity of binding for hydroxamate inhibitors and 1-butaneboronic acid, previously shown by kinetics (Baker, J. O., Wilkes, S. H., Bayliss, M. E., and Prescott, J. M. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 2098-2103), was reflected in the characteristic spectra produced by these two types of inhibitors. 相似文献

The kinetic and spectral properties of native and totally cobalt-substituted liver alcohol dehydrogenase have been compared. Based on titrimetric determinations of enzyme active site concentration, the turnover number at pH 7.0 for cobalt enzyme was the same as for native enzyme. At pH 10, however, the turnover number was slower for cobalt-substituted enzyme, 3.14 s-1 as compared with 4.05 s-1 for native enzyme. A comparison between native and totally cobalt-substituted enzyme showed a blue-shifted enzyme-NADH double difference spectrum and a splitting and red-shifted enzyme-NAD+-pyrazole double difference spectrum in the near-ultraviolet. The 655-nm peak of the cobalt-substituted enzyme was perturbed by the formation of enzyme-NADH binary complex, enzyme-NAD+-trifloroethanol ternary complex, and enzyme-NAD+ binary complex formation. At pH 7.0, the only observable step in the reaction sequence with a significantly different rate constant for cobalt enzyme was the catalytic hydrogen-transferring step. The rate constant for this step is 92 s-1 for totally cobalt-substituted enzyme as compared with 138 s-1 for native liver alcohol dehydrogenase. The results of this study indicate that zinc is involved in catalysis alcohol and NADH. 相似文献

Salt-activation of thermolysin was examined using a positively charged fluorescent substrate, (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl-L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-L-Leu-[N(3)-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diaminopropionyl]-L-Ala-L-Arg-NH(2) [MOCAc-PLGL(Dpa)AR]. Thermolysin activity increased in a biphasic exponential fashion and was 40 times higher in the presence of 4 M NaCl than in its absence. The degree of activation at X M NaCl was expressed as 4.7(x) when [NaCl](o) < 0.5 M and 2.3(x) when [NaCl](o) > 0.5 M respectively. 相似文献

Streptomyces caespitosus neutral protease (ScNP) is one of the smallest metalloproteinase with a molecular mass of 14 kDa. Effects of solvent composition on ScNP activity were examined using a peptide substrate. The k(cat)/K(m) values of ScNP exhibited bell-shaped pH-dependence with the optimal pH of 6.4-7.0 and the pK(a) values of 5.0 +/- 0.1 and 8.3 +/- 0.1. ScNP activity increased in an exponential fashion with increasing [NaCl]. The relative k(cat)/K(m) value at 3.6 M NaCl to that at 0 M NaCl was 3.7, and the degree of the activation at x M NaCl was expressed as 1.2 (x) (x < 2.0) and 1.4(x) (x > 2.0). On the other hand, ScNP activity decreased with increasing concentrations of LiCl, KCl, NaBr, LiBr, KBr and NaClO(4). Alcohols inhibited ScNP activity with the IC(50) values, the concentration required for decreasing the activity at 50% of the maximum, of 0.77-6.54 M. The order of the inhibitory potency was 1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-2-butanol > 2-methyl-2-propanol, 2-butanol, 1-propanol > 2-propanol > ethanol > methanol. The activities recovered completely by the dilution of alcohols, suggesting that the ScNP inhibition by alcohols is reversible. These characteristics of ScNP are compared with those of human matrix metalloproteinase 7 and thermolysin. 相似文献

Autolysis of thermolysin. Isolation and characterization of a folded three-fragment complex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Incubation of the neutral metalloendopeptidase thermolysin at pH 7.2 in the presence of EDTA and/or low concentrations of calcium ions produces fast enzyme inactivation as a result of autolysis. The 'nicked' protein is a folded species composed of three tightly associated protein fragments. Dissociation of this complex can be achieved under denaturing conditions, such as gel filtration on a column equilibrated with 5 M guanidine hydrochloride or reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at acidic pH. The positions of the peptide bond cleavages were defined by isolation of the individual fragments by HPLC and their characterization by amino acid analysis after acid hydrolysis, end-group determination and partial amino acid sequencing. The results of these analyses indicated that the nicked protein is composed of fragments 1-196, 197-204 and 205-316 and thus that the corresponding sites of limited proteolysis occur at the polypeptide chain loop involved in the binding of Ca(4) in native thermolysin [Matthews, B. W., Weaver, L. H. and Kester, W. R. (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 8030-8044]. The overall conformational properties of nicked thermolysin are quite similar to those of the intact protein, as judged by spectroscopic measurements and by the fact that rabbit antibodies against native thermolysin recognize and precipitate the nicked protein in immunodiffusion assays. The nicked protein was much less stable to heat and unfolding agents than intact thermolysin. These results contribute to a better knowledge of the molecular mechanism of stabilization of native thermolysin by the four bound calcium ions and demonstrate that the function of Ca(4) is to stabilize the loop 190-205 on the surface of the molecule against autolysis. 相似文献

Some of the kinetic properties of angiotensin-converting enzyme (peptidyl-dipeptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.15.1) purified from hog lung have been determined using hippurylglycylglycine as substrate. The effects of pH and ionic environment on enzyme activity are complex and interdependent. At 0.1 M NaCl, the pH-activity curve shows an abrupt decrease in V/Km as the pH rises from 6 to 6.5, implying that ionization of a group in the enzyme with a pK in this range aids in binding of the substrate. Chloride is required for enzyme activity; there are two phases in the effect of NaCl. At both pH 6 AND 8, THE FIRST PHASE (UP TO 0.1 M NaCl) is activation. The second phase (above 0.1 M) at pH 6 is inhibition, while at pH 8 there is further activation which appears to be dependent upon ionic strength rather than a specific Cl-effect. Activation by cobalt and inhibition by EDTA are somewhat more effective at pH 6 than at pH 8. The nonapeptide inhibitor less than Glu-Trp-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gln-Ile-Pro-Pro is nearly equipotent at both pH 6 and 8, but Arg-Pro-Pro is more inhibitory at pH 8 than at pH 6. 相似文献

Furanacryloyl-Phe-Gly-Gly has been shown to be a convenient substrate for angiotensin converting enzyme (dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, EC 3.4.15.1). A detailed kinetic analysis of the hydrolysis of this substrate indicates normal Michaelis-Menten behavior with kcat = 19000 min-1 and KM = 3.0 x 10(-4) M determined at pH 7.5, 25 degrees C. The enzyme is inhibited by phosphate and activated by chloride; maximal activity is observed with 300 mM NaCl. In the absence of added zinc, activity is lost rapidly below pH 7.5 due to spontaneous dissociation of the metal, but in the presence of zinc, the enzyme remains fully active to about pH 6. The pH-rate profile indicates two groups on the enzyme with apparent pK values of 5.6 and 8.4. The substrate specificity of the enzyme has been examined in terms of the fundamental specificity quantity kcat/KM as well as the separate constants by using a series of furanacryloyl-tripeptides. The activity toward furanacryloyl-Phe-Gly-Gly has been compared with that toward the physiological substrates angiotensin I and bradykinin. 相似文献

Neutral salts activate and stabilize thermolysin. In this study, to explore the mechanism, we analyzed the interaction of 8-anilinonaphthalene 1-sulphonate (ANS) and thermolysin by ANS fluorescence. At pH 7.5, the fluorescence of ANS increased and blue-shifted with increasing concentrations (0–2.0?μM) of thermolysin, indicating that the anilinonaphthalene group of ANS binds with thermolysin through hydrophobic interaction. ANS did not alter thermolysin activity. The dissociation constants (Kd) of the complex between ANS and thermolysin was 33?±?2?μM at 0?M NaCl at pH 7.5, decreased with increasing NaCl concentrations, and reached 9?±?3?μM at 4?M NaCl. The Kd values were not varied (31?34?μM) in a pH range of 5.5?8.5. This suggests that at high NaCl concentrations, Na+ and/or Cl– ions bind with thermolysin and affect the binding of ANS with thermolysin. Our results also suggest that the activation and stabilization of thermolysin by NaCl are partially brought about by the binding of Na+ and/or Cl– ions with thermolysin. 相似文献

Metallo-beta-lactamases are native zinc enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of beta-lactam antibiotics but are also able to function with cobalt (II) and require one or two metal ions for catalytic activity. The kinetics of the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin catalyzed by cobalt substituted beta-lactamase from Bacillus cereus (BcII) are biphasic. The dependence of enzyme activity on pH and metal-ion concentration indicates that only the di-cobalt enzyme is catalytically active. A mono-cobalt enzyme species is formed during the catalytic cycle, which is virtually inactive and requires the association of another cobalt ion for turnover. Two intermediates with different metal to enzyme stoichiometries are formed on a branched reaction pathway. The di-cobalt enzyme intermediate is responsible for the direct catalytic route, which is pH-independent between 5.5 and 9.5 but is also able to slowly lose one bound cobalt ion via the branching route to give the mono-cobalt inactive enzyme intermediate. This inactivation pathway of metal-ion dissociation occurs by both an acid catalyzed and a pH-independent reaction, which is dependent on the presence of an enzyme residue of pK(a) = 8.9 +/- 0.1 in its protonated form and shows a large kinetic solvent isotope effect (H(2)O/D(2)O) of 5.2 +/- 0.5, indicative of a rate-limiting proton transfer. The pseudo first-order rate constant to regenerate the di-cobalt beta-lactamase from the mono-cobalt enzyme intermediate has a first-order dependence on cobalt-ion concentration in the pH range 5.5-9.5. The second-order rate constant for metal-ion association is dependent on two groups of pK(a) 6.32 +/- 0.1 and 7.47 +/- 0.1 being in their deprotonated basic forms and one group of pK(a) 9.48 +/- 0.1 being in its protonated form. 相似文献

Thimet oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.15; TOP) is a Zn(II) endopeptidase implicated in physiological regulation of processes involving neuropeptides. The present study clarifies the active site structure and mechanism of catalysis of TOP. The enzyme exhibited a bell-shaped pH dependence of activity having an acidic limb due to a protonation event with a pK(a) of 5.7 and a basic limb with pK(a) of 8.8. The acidic limb can be attributed to protonation of a residue affecting k(cat) while the alkaline limb may be due to conformational change. Mutation of Tyr612 to Phe resulted in more than 400-fold decrease in activity. This result, supported by modeling studies, implicates Tyr612 in transition state stabilization analogous to the role of His231 of thermolysin. 相似文献

Salts inhibit the activity of sweet almond beta-glucosidase. For cations (Cl(-) salts) the effectiveness follows the series: Cu(+2), Fe(+2)>Zn(+2)>Li(+)>Ca(+2)>Mg(+2)>Cs(+)>NH(4)(+)>Rb(+)>K(+)>Na(+) and for anions (Na(+) salts) the series is: I(-)>ClO(4)(-)>(-)SCN>Br(-) approximately NO(3)(-)>Cl(-) approximately (-)OAc>F(-) approximately SO(4)(-2). The activity of the enzyme, like that of most glycohydrolases, depends on a deprotonated carboxylate (nucleophile) and a protonated carboxylic acid for optimal activity. The resulting pH-profile of k(cat)/K(m) for the beta-glucosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl glucoside is characterized by a width at half height that is strongly sensitive to the nature and concentration of the salt. Most of the inhibition is due to a shift in the enzymic pK(a)s and not to an effect on the pH-independent second-order rate constant, (k(cat)/K(m))(lim). For example, as the NaCl concentration is increased from 0.01 M to 1.0 M the apparent pK(a1)increases (from 3.7 to 4.9) and the apparent pK(a2)decreases (from 7.2 to 5.9). With p-nitrophenyl glucoside, the value of the pH-independent (k(cat)/K(m))(lim) (=9 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)) is reduced by less than 4% as the NaCl concentration is increased. There is a similar shift in the pK(a)s when the LiCl concentration is increased to 1.0 M. The results of these salt-induced pK(a) shifts rule out a significant contribution of reverse protonation to the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. At low salt concentration, the fraction of the catalytically active monoprotonated enzyme in the reverse protonated form (i.e., proton on the group with a pK(a) of 3.7 and dissociated from the group with a pK(a) of 7.2) is very small ( approximately 0.03%). At higher salt concentrations, where the two pK(a)s become closer, the fraction of the monoprotonated enzyme in the reverse protonated form increases over 300-fold. However, there is no increase in the intrinsic reactivity, (k(cat)/K(m))(lim), of the monoprotonated species. For other enzymes which may show such salt-induced pK(a) shifts, this provides a convenient test for the role of reverse protonation. 相似文献

The kinetics and mechanism of hydrolysis of the native zinc and metal substituted Bacillus cereus (BcII) metallo-beta-lactamase have been investigated. The pH and metal ion dependence of k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m), determined under steady-state conditions, for the cobalt substituted BcII catalyzed hydrolysis of cefoxitin, cephaloridine, and cephalexin indicate that an enzyme residue of apparent pK(a) 6.3 +/- 0.1 is required in its deprotonated form for metal ion binding and catalysis. The k(cat)/K(m) for cefoxitin and cephalexin with cadmium substituted BcII is dependent on two ionizing groups on the enzyme: one of pK(a1) = 8.7 +/- 0.1 required in its deprotonated form and the other of pK(a2) = 9.3 +/- 0.1 required in its protonated form for activity. The pH dependence of the competitive inhibition constant, K(i), for CdBcII with l-captopril indicates that pK(a1) = 8.7 +/- 0.1 corresponds to the cadmium-bound water. For the manganese substituted BcII, the pH dependence of k(cat)/K(m) for benzylpenicillin, cephalexin, and cefoxitin similarly indicated the importance of two catalytic groups: one of pK(a1) = 8.5 +/- 0.1 which needs to be deprotonated and the other of pK(a2) = 9.4 +/- 0.1 which needs to be protonated for catalysis; the pK(a1) was assigned to the manganese-bound water. The rate was metal ion concentration dependent at the highest manganese concentrations used (10(-)(3) M). The metal substituted species have similar or higher catalytic activities compared with the zinc enzyme, albeit at pHs above 7. Interestingly, with cefoxitin, a very poor substrate for ZnBcII, both k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m) increase with increasing pK(a) of the metal-bound water, in the order Zn < Co < Mn < Cd. A higher pK(a) for the metal-bound water for cadmium and manganese BCII leads to more reactive enzymes than the native zinc BcII, suggesting that the role of the metal ion is predominantly to provide the nucleophilic hydroxide, rather than to act as a Lewis acid to polarize the carbonyl group and stabilize the oxyanion tetrahedral intermediate. 相似文献

The phenolic group of active site residue Tyr-248 in carboxypeptidase A has a pKa value of 10.06, as determined from the pH dependence of its rate of nitration by tetranitromethane. The decrease in enzyme activity (kcat/Km) in alkaline solution, characterized by a pKa value of approximately 9.0 (for cobalt carboxypeptidase A), is associated with the protonation state of an imidazole ligand of the active-site metal ion, as indicated by a selective pH dependence of the 1H NMR spectrum of the enzyme. Inhibition of the cobalt-substituted enzyme by 2-(1-carboxy-2-phenylethyl)phenol and its 4,6-dichloro- and 4-phenylazo-derivatives confirms that the decrease in enzyme activity (kcat/Km) in acidic solution, characterized by a pKa value of 5.8, is due to the protonation state of a water molecule bound to the active-site metal ion in the absence of substrate. Changes in the coordination number of the active-site metal ion are seen in its visible absorption spectrum as a consequence of binding of the phenolic inhibitors. Conventional concepts regarding the mechanisms of the enzyme are brought into question. 相似文献

Investigation of some pH-dependent properties of human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase B indicate that the active site is influenced by at least two charged groups. The properties studied include the pH dependence of inhibition of native, monocarboxamidomethyl, and monocarboxymethyl enzymes by iodide ion and the pH dependence of the visible spectra of the cobalt derivatives of these enzymes. One ionizing group has a pKa of about 7.3 in the native enzyme, 8.2 in the carboxyamidomethyl enzyme, and 9.0 in the carboxymethyl enzyme. It has a major influence on activity and anion inhibition, and on the visible spectra of the cobalt enzymes. A second group has a pKa of about 6.1 in native and modified enzymes. When zinc is at the active site, the secondary group in its acidic form decreases the Ki for I-. With the carboxyamidomethyl and carboxymethyl enzymes, the Ki decreases by about an order of magnitude. However, if cobalt is substituted for zinc in the modified enzymes, this group does not influence the Ki for I- and the binding of I- does not influence the pKa of the spectral transitions caused by ionization of this secondary group. In the case of nonalkylated Co2+-enzyme, another ionizing group with a pK of about 6.2 prevents the binging of I- at low pH. These results show that the active site is altered when cobalt is substituted for zinc in carbonic anhydrase B. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme was purified from rainbow trout brain by Sepharose-4B-L: -tyrosine-sulfanilamide affinity chromatography. The enzyme was obtained with a specific activity of 2,275 EU mg(-1) and a yield of 22.5%. The sample obtained from the affinity column was used for kinetic properties and inhibition studies. Both optimum and stable pH were found as 9.0 in 1 M Tris-SO(4) at 4 degrees C, respectively. To check the purity and subunit molecular weight of enzyme, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed, and MW was found as approximately 29.0 kDa. The molecular weight of native enzyme was estimated to be approximately 27.3 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme had apparent K (m),V (max), and k (cat) as follows: 0.92 mM, 0.207 micromol.min(-1) and 43.6 s(-1) for p-nitrophenylacetate. The inhibitory effects of Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ag(I), and Cd(II) on CA enzyme activity were determined using the esterase method under in vitro conditions at low concentrations of the corresponding metals. The obtained IC(50) values, which cause 50% inhibition on in vitro enzyme activity, were 0.05, 30, 0.31, 159, and 82.5 mM for cobalt, copper, zinc, silver, and cadmium, respectively. K ( i ) values were also calculated from Linewaever-Burk plots for these substances as 0.014, 27.68, 2.15, 193.86, and 94.18 for cobalt, copper, zinc, silver, and cadmium, respectively; it was determined that cobalt, silver and cadmium inhibited the enzyme competitively, copper inhibited noncompetitively while zinc inhibited the enzyme uncompetitively. 相似文献

In membranes of Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the cloned human M1-M4 muscarinic receptor subtypes, PD 102807, a novel M4 selective antagonist, was found to counteract the M4 receptor-induced stimulation of [35S]-GTPgammaS binding to membrane G proteins with a pK(B) of 7.40, a value which was 63-, 33- and 10-fold higher than those displayed at M1 (pK(B) = 5.60), M2 (pK(B) = 5.88) and M3 (pK(B) = 6.39) receptor subtypes, respectively. In rat striatal membranes, PD 102807 antagonized the muscarinic inhibition of dopamine (DA) D1 receptor-stimulated adenylyl cyclase with a pK(B) value of 7.36. In contrast, in membranes of rat frontal cortex, PD 102807 displayed lower potencies in antagonizing either the muscarinic facilitation of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)-stimulated adenylyl cyclase (pK(B) = 5.79) or inhibition of Ca2+/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM)-stimulated enzyme activity (pK(B) = 5.95). In each response investigated, PD 102807 interacted with muscarinic receptors in a manner typical of a simple competitive antagonist. These data provide additional evidence that PD 102807 is a M4-receptor preferring antagonist and that this compound can discriminate the striatal muscarinic receptors inhibiting DA D1 receptor activity from the cortical receptors mediating the potentiation of CRH receptor signalling and the inhibition of Ca2+/CaM-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity. 相似文献
