The cobalt absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of cobalt carboxypeptidase undergo unique variations on formation of catalytic peptide and ester intermediates as previously recorded in cryoenzymologic experiments employing rapid-scanning spectroscopy and cryotrapping [Geoghegan, K. F., Galdes, A., Martinelli, R. A., Holmquist, B., Auld, D.S., & Vallee, B. L. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 2255-2262]. We here describe a means of stabilizing these intermediates, which we have termed "equilibrium trapping". It allows peptide intermediates to be observed for longer periods (much greater than 1 min) at ambient as well as subzero temperatures. The reaction intermediate with the rapidly turned over peptide substrate Dns-Ala-Ala-Phe is trapped when the cobalt enzyme (greater than 10 microM) has catalyzed the attainment of chemical equilibrium between high concentrations of the hydrolysis products Dns-Ala-Ala, 10 mM, and L-phenylalanine, 50 mM, and the product of their coupling Dns-Ala-Ala-Phe. Under these conditions, Dns-Ala-Ala-Phe is present in the equilibrated substrate-product reaction mixture at a level that exceeds the one predicted on the basis of K'eq for hydrolysis of this substrate and is close to the enzyme concentration. Other pairs of peptide hydrolysis products yield similar results. Visible absorption and EPR spectra of the cobalt enzyme show that the synthesized peptide binds to the active site in the mode previously recognized as the ES2 catalytic intermediate in peptide hydrolysis. Equilibrium trapping of the ES2 intermediate allows analysis of its physicochemical properties by methods that could not be employed readily under cryoenzymological conditions, e.g., circular dichroic and magnetic circular dichroic spectra.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Interaction of anions with the active site of carboxypeptidase A 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Studies of azide inhibition of peptide hydrolysis catalyzed by cobalt(II) carboxypeptidase A identify two anion binding sites. Azide binding to the first site (KI = 35 mM) inhibits peptide hydrolysis in a partial competitive mode while binding at the second site (KI = 1.5 M) results in competitive inhibition. The cobalt electronic absorption spectrum is insensitive to azide binding at the first site but shows marked changes upon azide binding to the second site. Thus, azide elicits a spectral change with new lambda max (epsilon M) values of 590 (330) and 540 nm (190) and a KD of 1.4 M, equal to the second kinetic KI value for the cobalt enzyme, indicating that anion binding at the weaker site involves an interaction with the active-site metal. Remarkably, in the presence of the C-terminal products of peptide or ester hydrolysis or carboxylate inhibitor analogues, anion (e.g., azide, cyanate, and thiocyanate) binding is strongly synergistic; thus, KD for azide decreases to 4 mM in the presence of L-phenylalanine. These ternary complexes have characteristic absorption, CD, MCD, and EPR spectra. The absorption spectra of azide/carboxylate inhibitor ternary complexes with Co(II)CPD display a near-UV band between 305 and 310 nm with epsilon M values around 900-1250 M-1 cm-1. The lambda max values are close to the those of the charge-transfer band of an aquo Co(II)-azide complex (310 nm), consistent with the presence of a metal azide bond in the enzyme complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Cryospectrokinetic studies of zinc and cobalt carboxypeptidase A disclosed two intermediates in the hydrolysis of both peptides and depsipeptides and furnished all the rate and equilibrium constants for the reaction scheme E + S in equilibrium ES1 in equilibrium ES2---E + P [Auld, D. S., Galdes, A., Geoghegan, K. F., Holmquist, B., Martinelli, R. A., & Vallee, B. L. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 5041-5045]. Since the ES2 intermediate is the predominate enzyme species present at steady state, its chemical nature is deducible from subzero chemical quench studies done after steady state is established. Extrapolation of the product concentration to zero time, [P0], measures the concentration of the enzyme species in which bond cleavage has occurred. For peptides, the [P0]values are zero, indicating that no product is generated prior to turnover and therefore the ES2 intermediate involves a complex between enzyme and intact peptide substrate. For depsipeptides, [P0] values are 1 mol of produce per mole of enzyme over the entire temperature range -20 to -50 degrees C, indicating cleavage of the ester bond occurs prior to the rate-limiting step so that ES2 is more properly denoted by EP1P2, where P1 and P2 are the substrates for the reverse reaction. The rate-limiting step for depsipeptides thus involves release of the products which may occur directly or through a mandatory conformational change followed by rapid product release. 相似文献

Both 13C NMR and electronic absorption spectral studies on cobalt(II) carboxypeptidase A in the presence of acetate and phenylacetate provide evidence for two binding sites for each of these agents. The transverse relaxation rate T2-1 for the 13C-enriched carboxyl groups of the inhibitors is significantly increased when bound to the paramagnetic cobalt carboxypeptidase as compared to the diamagnetic zinc enzyme. The acetate concentration dependence of T2p-1 shows two inflections indicative of sequential binding of two inhibitor molecules. The cobalt-13C distances, calculated by means of the Solomon equation, indicate that the second acetate molecule binds directly to the metal ion while the first acetate molecule binds to a protein group at a distance 0.5-0.8 nm for the metal ion, consistent with it binding to one or more of the arginyl residues (Arg-145, Arg-127, or Arg-71). In the case of phenylacetate, perturbation of the cobalt electronic absorption spectrum shows that binding occurs stepwise. 13C NMR distance measurements indicate that one of the two phenylacetates is bound to the metal in the EI2 complex. These binding sites may correspond to those identified previously by kinetic means (one of which is competitive, the other noncompetitive) with peptide binding. The studies further indicate that it should be possible to map the protein interactions of the carbonyl groups of both substrate and noncompetitive inhibitors during catalysis by means of 13C NMR studies with suitably labeled substrates and inhibitors. 相似文献

Characterization of the inhibitor complexes of cobalt carboxypeptidase A by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The metal coordination sphere of cobalt-substituted carboxypeptidase A and its complexes with inhibitors has been characterized by X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of the EPR spectrum of cobalt carboxypeptidase and the g anisotropy are consistent with a distorted tetrahedral geometry for the cobalt ion. Complexes with L-phenylalanine, a competitive inhibitor of peptide hydrolysis, as well as other hydrophobic L-amino acids all exhibit very similar EPR spectra described by three g values that differ only slightly from that of the cobalt enzyme alone. In contrast, the EPR spectra observed for the cobalt enzyme complexes with 2-(mercaptoacetyl)-D-Phe, L-benzylsuccinate, and L-beta-phenyllactate all indicate an approximately axial symmetry of the cobalt atom in a moderately distorted tetrahedral metal environment. Phenylacetate, beta-phenylpropionate, and indole-3-acetate, which exhibit mixed modes of inhibition, yield EPR spectra indicative of multiple binding modes. The EPR spectrum of the putative 2:1 inhibitor to enzyme complex is more perturbed than that of the 1:1 complex. For beta-phenylpropionate, partially resolved hyperfine coupling (122 x 10(-4) cm-1) is observed on the g = 5.99 resonance, possibly indicating a stronger metal interaction for this binding mode. The structural basis for the observed EPR spectral perturbations is discussed with reference to the existing crystallographic kinetic and electronic absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance, and magnetic circular dichroic data. 相似文献

Role of divalent metals in the kinetic mechanism of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kinetic and thermodynamic interrelationships of peptide substrate (Val5-angiotensin 11), metal-ATP, and divalent metal cations with rat liver insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK) were investigated. Results of the initial rate studies with varying peptide and MnATP substrates indicates that the kinetic mechanism for IRTK is of the sequential type and therefore rules out a ping pong Bi Bi pathway. Hence, peptide substrate and metal-ATP bind to the kinase prior to the release of products. MnADP was a linear competitive inhibitor of MnATP and a noncompetitive inhibitor of peptide substrate. A synthetic tyrosine-containing pentapeptide, Glu-Glu-Phe-Tyr-Phe (EEFYF), was a linear competitive inhibitor of peptide substrate and a noncompetitive inhibitor of MnATP. Accordingly, the data show that phosphorylation of peptide substrate occurs via a rapid random equilibrium Bi Bi mechanism in which the kinase has the potential to react initially with either of the two substrates. In contrast, divalent metal cations and metal-ATP were found to interact with the kinase in a mutually inclusive manner, with metal binding to the kinase prior to MnATP. It was also found that divalent metals increase the affinity of the kinase for metal-ATP but do not affect the affinity of IRTK for metal-ADP product. Hence, divalent metals, during the reaction of association of enzyme with one of its substrates to form the binary complex, increase the relative concentration of E-ATP complex versus E-peptide complex, thus introducing a thermodynamic-dependent ordering for the interaction of substrates with the enzyme. To investigate the thermodynamics of this system, we assumed that under initial conditions the kinetic data we obtained reflected the association constants of reactants with the enzyme. 相似文献

Metal binding properties of single amino acid deletion mutants of zinc finger peptides: studies using cobalt(II) as a spectroscopic probe. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Peptides corresponding to Cys2His2 zinc finger domains from which one amino acid has been deleted have been synthesized and their metal-binding properties characterized. In contrast to earlier reports (Párraga, G., S. Horvath, L. Hood, E. T. Young, and R. E. Klevit. 1990. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 87:137-141.), such peptides do bind metal ions such as cobalt(II). A peptide with the sequence ProTyrLysCysProGluCysLysSerPheSerGlnLysSerAspLeuValLysHisGlnArgThrHis ThrGly (which corresponds to a previously characterized consensus zinc finger sequence from which a Gly residue immediately following the second Cys residue has been deleted) was found to form a 1:1 peptide to cobalt(II) complex with an absorption spectrum quite similar to those previously observed for zinc finger peptide-cobalt(II) complexes. The dissociation constant for this complex is 6 x 10(-6)M, a factor of 100 times higher than that for the parent peptide. A peptide with the sequence LysProTyrProCysGlyLeuCysArgCysPheThrArgArgAspLeuLeulleArgHisAlaGln - LyslleHisSerGlyAsnLeu corresponding to a similar mutation of the peptide ADR1 was also characterized. Spectroscopic studies with cobalt(II) revealed that this peptide forms both 1:1 and 2:1 peptide to cobalt(II) complexes. The absorption spectra of the two forms and the dissociation constants were determined via deconvolution methods. In contrast, the parent peptide ADR1a was found to form only a 1:1 complex under comparable conditions and this 1:1 complex was found to be more stable than that for the mutant. These results reveal that deletion mutations do adversely affect the stability of zinc finger peptide-metal complexes but that the effects are not as drastic as had been previously described. 相似文献

Kinetic analysis of the inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase by Lavendustin-A and its analogue 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
C Y Hsu P E Persons A P Spada R A Bednar A Levitzki A Zilberstein 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1991,266(31):21105-21112
Lavendustin-A was reported to be a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (Onoda, T., Iinuma, H., Sasaki, Y., Hamada, M., Isshibi, K., Naganawa, H., Takeuchi, T., Tatsuta, K., and Umezawa, K. (1989) J. Nat. Prod. 52, 1252-1257). Its inhibition kinetics was studied in detail using the baculovirus-expressed recombinant intracellular domain of the EGF receptor (EGFR-IC). Lavendustin-A (RG 14355) is a slow and tight binding inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase. The pre-steady state kinetic analysis demonstrates that the inhibition corresponds to a two-step mechanism in which an initial enzyme-inhibitor complex (EI) is rapidly formed followed by a slow isomerization step to form a tight complex (EI*). The dissociation constant for the initial rapid forming complex is 370 nM, whereas the overall dissociation constant is estimated to be less than or equal to 1 nM. The difference between the two values is due to the tight binding nature of the inhibitor to the enzyme in EI*. The kinetic analysis using a preincubation protocol to pre-equilibrate the enzyme with the inhibitor in the presence of one substrate showed that Lavendustin-A is a hyperbolic mixed-type inhibitor with respect to both ATP and the peptide substrate, with a major effect on the binding affinities for both substrates. An analogue of Lavendustin-A (RG 14467) showed similar inhibition kinetics to that of Lavendustin-A. The results of the pre-steady state analysis are also consistent with the proposed two-step mechanism. The dissociation constant for the initial fast forming complex in this case is 3.4 microM, whereas the overall dissociation constant is estimated to be less than or equal to 30 nM. It is a partial (hyperbolic) competitive inhibitor with respect to ATP. Its inhibition is reduced to different extents by different peptide substrates, when the peptide is added to the enzyme simultaneously with the inhibitor. When studied with the least protective peptide, K1 (a peptide containing the major autophosphorylation site of the EGF receptor), RG 14467 acts as a hyperbolic noncompetitive inhibitor with respect to the peptide. 相似文献

Electronic spectroscopy of cobalt angiotensin converting enzyme and its inhibitor complexes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Zinc, the catalytically essential metal of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), has been replaced by cobalt(II) to give an active, chromophoric enzyme that is spectroscopically responsive to inhibitor binding. Visible absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroic spectropolarimetry have been used to characterize the catalytic metal binding site in both the cobalt enzyme and in several enzyme-inhibitor complexes. The visible absorption spectrum of cobalt ACE exhibits a single broad maximum (525 nm) of relatively low absorptivity (epsilon = 75 M-1 cm-1). In contrast, the spectra of enzyme-inhibitor complexes display more clearly defined maxima at longer wavelengths (525-637 nm) and of markedly higher absorptivities (130-560 M-1 cm-1). The large spectral response indicates that changes in the cobalt ion coordination sphere occur on inhibitor binding. Magnetic circular dichroic spectropolarimetry has shown that the metal coordination geometry in the inhibitor complexes is tetrahedral and of higher symmetry than in cobalt ACE alone. The presence of sulfur----cobalt charge-transfer bands in both the visible absorption and magnetic circular dichroic spectra of the cobalt ACE-Captopril complex confirm direct ligation of the thiol group of the inhibitor to the active-site metal. 相似文献

A new series of thio ester, depsipeptide, and peptide substrates have been synthesized for the bacterial enzyme Clostridium histolyticum collagenase. The hydrolysis of the depsipeptide substrate was followed on a pH stat, and thio ester hydrolysis was measured by inclusion of the chromogenic thiol reagent 4,4'-dithiopyridine in the assay mixture. The best thio ester substrate, Boc-Abz-Gly-Pro-Leu-SCH2CO-Pro-Nba, had a kcat/KM of 63 000 M-1 s-1, while several shorter thio ester sequences were inactive as substrates. In general, the peptide analogues of all the reactive thio ester substrates were shown to be hydrolyzed 5-10 times faster by collagenase. In one case (Z-Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-NH2) where a comparison was made, the peptide substrate was respectively 8- and 106-fold more readily hydrolyzed than the corresponding thio ester and ester substrates. Cleavages of the two fluorescence-quench substrates Abz-Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-Nba and Abz-Gly-Pro-Leu-SCH2CO-Pro-Nba could be easily followed fluorogenically since a 5-10-fold increase in fluorescence occurred upon hydrolysis. The fluorescent peptide substrate is the best synthetic substrate known for C. histolyticum collagenase with a kcat/KM value of 490 000 M-1 s-1. A series of new reversible inhibitors were developed by the attachment of zinc ligating groups (hydroxamic acid, carboxymethyl, and thiol) to various peptide sequences specific for C. histolyticum collagenase. The shorter peptides designed to bind to either the P3-P1 or P1'-P3' subsites were poor to moderate inhibitors. The thiol HSCH2CH2CO-Pro-Nba had the lowest K1 (0.02 mM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanine is an excellent peptide substrate for carboxy-peptidase A; at 30 degrees C and pH 7.5, K(m) is 2.6 x 10(-5) M while k(cat) is 177 s(-1) (k(cat)/K(m) = 6.8 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1)). Indole-3-acetic acid is a noncompetitive or mixed inhibitor towards the peptide and toward hippuryl-L-phenylalanine; plots of E/V vs [Inhibitor] are linear. N-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine is a competitive inhibitor of peptide hydrolysis, and plots of E/V vs [Inhibitor] are again linear. One molecule of inhibitor binds per active site, and these inhibitors bind in different sites. At constant peptide substrate concentration and a series of constant concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid, plots of E/V vs the concentration of N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine are linear and intersect behind the E/V axis and above the [Inhibitor] axis. This shows that both inhibitors can bind simultaneously and that binding of one facilitates the binding of the other (beta = 0.18). Employing the ester substrate hippuryl-DL,beta-phenyllactate, the same type of behavior is observed in the reverse sense; N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine is a linear noncompetitive inhibitor and indole-3-acetic acid is a linear competitive inhibitor. Again the two inhibitor plot is linear and intersects above the [Inhibitor] axis (beta = 0.12). Previous X-ray crystallographic studies have indicated that indole-3-acetic acid binds in the hydrophobic pocket of the S'(1) site, while N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine binds in the S(1)-S(2) site. The product complex for hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanine (phenylalanine + N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine) occupies both of these sites. However, the present work shows that the peptide substrate does not bind to the enzyme at pH 7.5 so as to be competitive with indole-3-acetic acid. The binding sites may be formed via conformational changes induced or stabilized by substrate and product binding. Copyright 2000 Academic Press. 相似文献

To assess the relative importance of binding to enzyme-substrate complex (E.S) and to acetylenzyme (EA), noncompetitive inhibition has been studied in hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase (AcChE) of cationic and uncharged substrates - acetylcholine (AcCh), 3,3-dimethylbutyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, 2-(methylammonio)ethyl acetate, 2- (N,N-diethyl-N-n-butylammonio)ethyl acetate (DEBAAc) and 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl acetate. For the N-trimethyl quaternary ions related to AcCh, tetramethylammonium ion, choline and choline ethyl ether, noncompetitive inhibition (Ki(nonc) is more favorable with the slower substrates than with AcCh, i.e., when E.S greater than EA, and is attributed to formation of enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complexes, E.S.I'. Noncompetitive inhibition by tetraethyl-, tert-butyl- and isopropylammonium ions, and acetamidocholine and its lower dimethyl analogue, is also attributed to E.S.I' complexes. Peripheral binding of these inhibitors decreases acylation more than deacylation. Some tertiary dimethylamonio ions have more favorable Ki(nonc) values with AcCh, decreasing deacylation more than acylation. The substrate DEBAAc is a more effective noncompetitive than competitive inhibitor in hydrolysis of AcCh, indicating that it binds more strongly in a peripheral site than in the active site of the free enzyme. In its hydrolysis by AcChE, it acts as its own noncompetitive inhibitor, by this non-productive binding. Formation of E.S.I' complexes is a general characteristic of hydrolysis by AcChE and decrease in rates at high concentrations of AcCh and related substrates is attributed to peripheral regulatory site binding, formation of E.S.S' complexes, rather than to binding to the acetylenzyme. 相似文献

Native carboxypeptidase B and its Co2+-substituted derivative were oxidized by the active-site-directed agent m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The following results were obtained a) In the cobalt enzyme there was a decrease in both the peptidase and the esterase activities, whereas in the zinc enzyme only the peptidase activity decreased. Peptide or ester pseudo-substrates protected the cobalt enzyme but not the zinc enzyme against inactivation. b) Upon oxidation and formation of Co3+, cleavage of peptide bonds occurred in the cobalt enzyme but not in the zinc enzyme. Both enzymes retained their original metal content. c) Following oxidation of the enzymes, amino acid analysis revealed a modification of a methionyl residue in the zinc enzyme only; the cobalt enzyme, on the other hand, showed a modification of a histidyl residue. d) Peptide mapping of the enzymes after cleavage by cyanogen bromide indicated that two methionyl peptides were missing in the oxidized zinc enzyme. These peptides point to Met-64 as the site of modification. The peptide map of the oxidized cobalt enzyme was similar to that of the unmodified native (i.e., zinc) enzyme. These studies indicate that the specific metal ion present in the enzyme imposes certain structural and functional differences on the active site, leading to differing reactivities of specific amino acid residues and to a different alignment of the active-site-directed reagent in the two enzymes. 相似文献

Gamma-secretase is a multi-component enzyme complex that performs an intramembranous cleavage, releasing amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides from processing intermediates of the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Because Abeta peptides are thought to be causative for Alzheimer's disease, inhibiting gamma-secretase represents a potential treatment for this neurodegenerative condition. Whereas inhibitors directed at the active center of gamma-secretase inhibit the cleavage of all its substrates, certain non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been shown to selectively reduce the production of the more amyloidogenic Abeta(1-42) peptide without inhibiting alternative cleavages. In contrast to the majority of previous studies, however, we demonstrate that in cell-free systems the mode of action of selected NSAIDs and their derivatives, depending on the concentrations used, can either be classified as modulatory or inhibitory. At modulatory concentrations, a selective and, with respect to the substrate, noncompetitive inhibition of Abeta(1-42) production was observed. At inhibitory concentrations, on the other hand, biochemical readouts reminiscent of a nonselective gamma-secretase inhibition were obtained. When these compounds were analyzed for their ability to displace a radiolabeled, transition-state analog inhibitor from solubilized enzyme, noncompetitive antagonism was observed. The allosteric nature of radioligand displacement suggests that NSAID-like inhibitors change the conformation of the gamma-secretase enzyme complex by binding to a novel site, which is discrete from the binding site for transition-state analogs and therefore distinct from the catalytic center. Consequently, drug discovery efforts aimed at this site may identify novel allosteric inhibitors that could benefit from a wider window for inhibition of gamma (42)-cleavage over alternative cleavages in the beta-amyloid precursor protein and, more importantly, alternative substrates. 相似文献

A 23-residue peptide was synthesized that incorporates the loop which binds the structural zinc atom of mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases and contributes, in part, to subunit interactions in the native enzyme. Neither the amino acid composition nor the sequence of the peptide resemble those of zinc fingers. The reduced peptide stoichiometrically binds zinc or cobalt to form stable complexes with a dissociation constant of the peptide/CO2+ complex of 2.1 microM at pH 7.5. EDTA disrupts the complex. The absorption and magnetic circular dichroic spectra of the cobalt-peptide are indicative of a tetrahedral coordination geometry, and are similar to those of the cobalt-substituted structural site of horse and human (beta 1 beta 1) liver alcohol dehydrogenases. Consequently, the synthetic peptide can serve as a model for the metal-binding segment of alcohol dehydrogenase and for studies of fundamental problems concerning protein/metal interactions. 相似文献

Role of enzyme-peptide substrate backbone hydrogen bonding in determining protein kinase substrate specificities 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
As part of a search for peptides that have specificity for selected protein kinases, the possibility that adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) recognizes the hydrogen-bonding potential of its peptide substrates was investigated. A-Kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of five N alpha-methylated and four depsipeptide derivatives of Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly (peptide 1) at rates that differ by at least 7 orders of magnitude. These peptide 1 analogues each lack the ability to donate a hydrogen bond at selected positions in the peptide chain. If a particular amide hydrogen of a peptide amide is involved in hydrogen bonding, which is important for enzyme recognition, the prediction is that peptides which contain an ester or a N-methylated bond at that position in peptide 1 will be comparatively poor substrates. In contrast, if a depsipeptide has a reactivity comparable to that of peptide 1 but the analogous N-methylated peptide has a poor reactivity with A-kinase, the result might indicate that the N-methyl group causes unfavorable steric effects. The depsipeptide that lacks a Leu6 amide proton is a good substrate for A-kinase, but the corresponding N-methylated peptide is phosphorylated far less efficiently. This result and others presented in this paper suggest that although enzyme-substrate hydrogen bonding may play some role in A-kinase catalysis of phosphoryl group transfer, other explanations are necessary to account for the relative reactivities of N alpha-methylated and depsi-containing peptide 1 analogues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Near ultraviolet spectral studies were conducted on two inhibitor complexes obtained by treating the dephospho form of the phosphoglucomutase.Mg2+ complex with inorganic vanadate in the presence of either glucose 1-phosphate [cf. Percival, M. D., Doherty, K., & Gresser, M. J. (1990) Biochemistry (first of four papers in this issue)] or glucose 6-phosphate. Part of the spectral differences between the two inhibitor complexes arises because the glucose phosphate moiety in the complex derived from glucose 1-phosphate binds to the enzyme in a different way from the glucose phosphate moiety in the complex derived from glucose 6-phosphate and because these alternative binding modes produce different environmental effects on the aromatic chromophores of the dephospho enzyme. These spectral differences are strikingly similar to those induced by the binding of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate to the phospho enzyme--which shows that the glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate moieties occupy positions in the inhibitor complexes closely related to those that they occupy in their respective catalytically competent complexes. This binding congruity indicates that in the inhibitor complexes the oxyvanadium grouping is bound at the site where (PO3-) transfer normally occurs. 31P NMR studies of the phosphate group in these complexes also provide support for this binding pattern. A number of other systems based on compounds with altered structures, such as the deoxysugar phosphates, or systems with different compositions, as in the case of the metal-free enzyme or of the glucose phosphates plus nitrate, also were examined for evidence that complexes analogous to the inhibitor complexes were formed, but none was found.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Certain acyclic depsipeptides, but not peptides, are substrates of typical beta-lactamases [Pratt, R.F., & Govardhan, C.P. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 1302]. This may reflect either the greater chemical reactivity of depsipeptides (and of beta-lactams, the natural substrates) than peptides or the greater ease of distortion of the depsipeptide (ester) than the peptide (amide) group into a penicillin-like conformation. The latter explanation has been shown to be more likely by employment of a novel beta-lactamase substrate. N-(phenylacetyl)glycyl-D-aziridine-2-carboxylate, which combines a high chemical reactivity with a close to tetrahedral amide nitrogen atom. Although this substrate was better (higher kcat/KM) than a comparable depsipeptide for beta-lactamases, it was poorer than the depsipeptide for the Streptomyces R61 D-alanyl-D-alanine peptidase (which catalyzes specific peptide hydrolysis). It therefore seems likely that one vital feature of the putative evolution of a DD-peptidase into a beta-lactamase would have been modification of the active site to, on one hand, accommodate bicyclic beta-lactams and, on the other, exclude productive binding of planar acyclic amides. Certain serine beta-lactamases and the R61 DD-peptidase also catalyze methanolysis and aminolysis by D-phenylalanine of the N-acylaziridine. The latter reaction, the first amide aminolysis shown to be catalyzed by a beta-lactamase, is a very close analogue of the transpeptidase reaction of DD-peptidases. The methanolysis reaction appeared to proceed by way of the same acyl-enzyme intermediate as formed from depsipeptides possessing the same acyl moiety as the aziridine. The kinetics of methanolysis were employed to determine whether acylation or deacylation was rate limiting to the hydrolysis reaction under saturating substrate concentrations. The kinetics of the aminolysis reaction, catalyzed by the Enterobacter cloacae P99 beta-lactamase, showed the characteristics of, and were interpreted in terms of, a sequential mechanism previously deduced for depsipeptides and this enzyme [Pazhanisamy, S., & Pratt, R. F. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 6875-6882]. This mechanism features two separate binding sites, only one of which is productive. Strikingly, the binding of the N-acylaziridine to the nonproductive site was very tight, such that essentially all hydrolysis at substrate concentrations above 0.1Km proceeded via the ternary complex; this could also be true of penicillins. 相似文献

The kinetics of isolated rat liver and beef heart mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) were studied by using the chromium ATP and ADP complexes as substrate analogs. It was found that both chromium ATP (CrATP) and chromium ADP (CrADP) are competitive inhibitors of ATP hydrolysis. The presence or absence of ATPase-activating anions, e.g., bisulfite, had little effect on the type or potency of the inhibition by these chromium complexes. Both CrADP and CrATP were noncompetitive inhibitors of the hydrolysis of ITP with both the heart and liver-derived enzymes. It was also found that CrADP was a consistently more effective inhibitor than the ATP complex with the beef heart enzyme. These results are consistent with the existence of two types of nucleotide binding sites on mitochondrial ATPases: One site is regulatory and is rather specific for adenosine polyphosphates, while the other site is relatively nonspecific and serves as the hydrolytic site. 相似文献

A steady-state kinetic analysis has been performed on the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from pea (Pisum sativum L.) mitochondria and castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) proplastids. Substrate interaction kinetics for all substrates gave parallel lines consistent with a multisite ping-pong mechanism. Product inhibition studies showed uncompetitive inhibition between acetyl-CoA and pyruvate and competitive inhibition between NADH and NAD+, both of which are also consistent with this mechanism. In the mitochondrial complex, acetyl-CoA showed noncompetitive inhibition versus CoA which suggests that the intermediate complex is kinetically important in the lipoamide transacetylase component of this complex. In contrast, the proplastid complex showed competitive inhibition in this interaction. NADH is a noncompetitive inhibitor versus CoA in both complexes indicating that these complexes, like the mammalian complex, may have protein-protein interactions between the second and third enzymes of the complex. Since NADH also shows noncompetitive inhibition versus pyruvate, this interaction may extend to all components of the complex. Acetyl-CoA shows noncompetitive inhibition versus NAD+ which may also be a result of interaction between the second and third enzymes of the complex. The limiting Michaelis constants for substrates and the inhibitor constants for both complexes were determined. 相似文献
