A 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was highly purified from the soluble fraction of rat heart. The preparation appeared homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was activated by ATP and ADP, and inhibited by Pi. When AMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate-concentration plot was sigmoidal. ATP or ADP changed the plot to hyperbolic and decreased S0.5. Pi increased both the sigmoidicity of the plot and S0.5. When IMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate plot was hyperbolic. ATP or ADP decreased Km and increased V. Pi changed the plot to sigmoidal and increased S0.5. Within the range of adenylate energy charge observed in surviving mammalian cells (0.7-0.9), the rate of AMP-hydrolysing activity catalysed by the 5'-nucleotidase increased sharply with decreasing energy charge. The highest activity was observed at an energy-charge value of about 0.6. The response was also observed in the presence of Pi. No change in IMP-hydrolysing activity was observed in the physiological range of adenylate energy charge, but in the presence of Pi the activity gradually increased with increasing energy charge. These results suggest the possibility that this enzyme participates in production of adenosine, a vasodilator, during hypoxia and in removal of IMP, which accumulates during the hypoxia, in the heart. 相似文献

1. Comparisons of the activity and kinetics of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase in cultured skin fibroblasts from normal and classical maple-syrup-urine-disease (MSUD) subjects provide a kinetic explanation for the enzyme defect. 2. In the intact cell assays, normal fibroblasts demonstrated hyperbolic kinetics with 3-methyl-2-oxo[1-14C]butyrate as a substrate. Intact fibroblasts from four classical MSUD patients showed no decarboxylation over a substrate concentration range of 0.25 to 5.0 mM, and thiamin (4 mM) was without effect. 3. The overall reaction of the multienzyme complex was efficiently reconstituted by using a disrupted-cell system. Normals again showed typical hyperbolic kinetics at the 2-oxo acid concentrations of 0.1 to 5 mM. The Vmax. and apparent Km values were 0.10 +/- 0.02 m-unit/mg of protein and 0.05-0.1 mM respectively, with 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate. In contrast, classical MSUD patients exhibited sigmoidal kinetics (Hill coefficient, 2.5) with activity approaching 40-60% of the normal value at 5 mM substrate. The K0.5 values from the Hill plots for MSUD patients were 4-7 mM. 4. The E1 (branched-chain 2-oxo acid decarboxylase) component of the multienzyme complex was measured in disrupted-particulate preparations. Normals again showed hyperbolic kinetics with the 2-oxo acid, whereas MSUD preparations exhibited sigmoidal kinetics with the activity of E1 strictly dependent on substrate concentration. Apparent Km or K0.5 were 0.1 and 1.0 mM for normal and MSUD subjects respectively. 5. Measurements of E2 (dihydrolipoyl transacylase) and E3 (dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase) in MSUD preparations showed them to be in the normal range. 6. The above data suggest a defect in the E1 step of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase in classical MSUD patients. 相似文献

The analysis of the initial-rate kinetics of the liver mitochondrial acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase) in the direction of acetoacetyl-CoA synthesis under product inhibition was performed. 1. Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase shows a hyperbolic response of reaction velocity to changes in acetyl-CoA concentrations with an apparent Km of 0.237 +/- 0.001 mM. 2. CoASH is a (non-competitive) product inhibitor with a Kis of 22.6 microM and shifts the apparent Km for acetyl-CoA to the physiological concentration of this substrate in mitochondria (S0.5 = 1.12 mM in the presence of 121 microM CoASH). 3. CoASH causes a transformation of the Michaelis-Menten kinetics into initial-rate kinetics with four intermediary plateau regions. 4. The product analogue desulpho-CoA triggers a negative cooperativity as to the dependence of the reaction velocity on the acetyl-CoA concentration. These product effects drastically desensitize the acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase in its reaction velocity response to the acetyl-CoA concentrations and simultaneously extend the substrate dependence range. Thus a control of acetoacetyl-CoA synthesis by the substrate is established over the physiological acetyl-CoA concentration range. We suggest that this control mechanism is the key in establishing the rates of ketogenesis. 相似文献

1. The effect of the interaction between the charged matrix and substrate on the kinetic behaviour of bound enzymes was investigated theoretically. 2. Simple expression is derived for the apparent Km. 3. The apparent Km can only be used for the characterization of the electrostatic effect of the ionic strength does not vary with the substrate concentration. 4. The deviations from Michaelis-Menton kinetics are graphically illustrated for cases when the ionic strength varies with the substrate concentration. 5. The inhibition of the bound enzyme by a charged inhibitor at constant ionic strength is characterized by an apparent Ki. 6. When both the inhibitor concentration and the ionic strength change there is no apparent Ki, and the inhibition profile is graphically illustrated for this case. 7. Under certain conditions the electrostatic effects manifest thenselves in a sigmoidal dependence of the enzyme activity on the concentration of the substrate or inhibitor. 相似文献

Homoserine kinase of Escherichia coli: kinetic mechanism and inhibition by L-aspartate semialdehyde 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kinetic mechanism of homoserine kinase, purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli, was examined by initial velocity techniques at pH 7.6. Whereas ATP displayed normal Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics (Km = 0.2 mM), L-homoserine showed hyperbolic saturation kinetics only up to a concentration of 0.75 mM (Km = 0.15 mM). Above this concentration, L-homoserine caused marked but partial inhibition (Ki approximately 2 mM). The kinetic data indicated that the addition of substrates to homoserine kinase occurs by a preferred order random mechanism, with ATP preferentially binding before L-homoserine. When the ATP concentration was varied at several fixed inhibitory concentrations of L-homoserine, the resulting inhibition pattern indicated hyperbolic mixed inhibition. This suggested a second binding site for L-homoserine. L-Aspartate semialdehyde, an amino acid analog of L-homoserine, proved to be an alternative substrate of homoserine kinase (Km = 0.68 mM), and was subsequently used as a probe of its kinetic mechanism. In aqueous solution, at pH 7.5, this analog was found to exist predominantly (ca 85%) as its hydrated species. When examined as an inhibitor of the physiological reaction, L-aspartate semialdehyde showed mixed inhibition versus both L-homoserine and ATP. Although the pH profiles for the binding of L-homoserine as a substrate (Km) and as an inhibitor (Ki) were identical, the kinetic data were best fit to a two-site model, with separate catalytic and inhibitory sites for L-homoserine. 相似文献

The kinetics of T4 polynucleotide ligase has been investigated at pH 8,20 degrees C and using the double-stranded DNA substrate (dA)n - [(dT)10]n/10. Double-reciprocal plots of initial rates vs substrate concentrations as well as product inhibition studies have indicated that the enzyme reacts according to a ping-pong mechanism. The overall mechanism was found to be non-processive. The true Km for the DNA substrate was 0.6 muM and that of ATP 100 muM. Several attempts were made to reverse the T4 polynucleotide ligase joining reaction using 32-p-labelled (dA)n - [(DT)40]n/40 as substrate. No breakdown of this DNA could be detected. The joining reaction was inhibited by high concentrations, i.e. above approximately 70mM, of salts such as KCl, NaCl, NH4Cl and CsCl. At a concentration of 200 mM almost 100% inhibition was observed. Polyamines also caused inhibition of the enzyme, the most efficient inhibitor being spermine followed by spermidine. At a concentration of 1 mM spermine, virtually no joining took place. Addition of salts or polyamines resulted in a large increase in the apparent Km for the DNA substrate whereas the apparent Km for ATP remained unchanged. It is suggested that the affinity of the enzyme for the DNA substrate is decreased in the presence of inhibiting agents. 相似文献

Aldehyde and aldose reductases from human placenta. Heterogeneous expression of multiple enzyme forms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Aldehyde reductase (ALR1) and aldose reductase (ALR2) were purified from human placenta by a rapid and efficient scheme that included rapid extraction of both reductases from 100,000 x g supernatant material with Red Sepharose followed by purification by chromatofocusing on Pharmacia PBE 94 and then chromatography on a hydroxylapatite high performance liquid chromatography column. Expression of ALR1 and ALR2 in placenta is variable with ALR1/ALR2 ratios ranging from 1:4 to 4:1. ALR1 and ALR2 are immunochemically distinct. ALR1 shows broad specificity for aldehydes but does not efficiently catalyze the reduction of glucose due to poor binding (Km = 2.5 M). ALR1 exhibits substrate inhibition with many substrates. ALR2 also shows broad specificity for aldehydes. Although glucose is a poor substrate for ALR2 compared with other substrates, the affinity of ALR2 for glucose (Km = 70 mM) suggests that glucose can be a substrate under hyperglycemic conditions. ALR2 shows normal hyperbolic kinetics with most substrates except with glyceraldehyde, which exhibits substrate activation. Treatment of ALR2 with dithiothreitol converted it into a form that exhibited hyperbolic kinetics with glyceraldehyde. Dithiothreitol treatment of ALR2 did not alter its properties toward other substrates or affect its inhibition by aldose reductase inhibitors such as sorbinil (2,4-dihydro-6-fluorospiro-[4H-1-benzopyran-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2' ,5'- dione), tolrestat (N-[[6-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1-naphthalenyl]thioxomethyl]-N- methylglycine), or statil (3-[(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1-phthalazineac etic acid). 相似文献

The highly purified Ca2+-pumping ATPase from human erythrocyte membranes displays two p-nitrophenylphosphatase (NPPase) activities: one of these requires calmodulin and low concentrations of Ca2+, while the other requires ATP and higher Ca2+ concentrations. The free Ca2+ concentrations required for the expression of the two NPPase activities differed very substantially. Both activities required high free Mg2+ concentrations and displayed simple hyperbolic kinetics toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) with a Km in the range of 5-20 mM. Study of the dependence of the calmodulin-stimulated NPPase on Mg2+ and NPP indicated that the Mg-NPP complex is not the substrate of the enzyme. Under conditions optimal for ATP-requiring NPPase (1 mM free Ca2+), the Ca2+-ATPase displayed simple hyperbolic kinetics with a low Km for ATP. NPP competitively inhibited this activity, and the apparent Ki for NPP was less than 1 mM, much lower than the Km for NPP as a substrate. If NPP were inhibiting the ATPase by binding at the same site at which NPP is hydrolyzed, the apparent Ki for NPP as inhibitor would be the same as the Km for NPP as substrate. (Under these circumstances, the apparent Ki and the Km can be directly compared, since NPP was being hydrolyzed under both circumstances.) Since Ki was much lower than Km, NPP must have been inhibiting at another site; thus, these data show the existence of two types of NPP sites on the enzyme, one at which NPP is hydrolyzed and the other at which it inhibits ATP hydrolysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

This paper reports the Km values of a reconstituted cholesterol side-chain cleavage system for cholesterol sulfate, cholesterol, and adrenodoxin, determined under several experimental conditions. The Km values for adrenodoxin change depending on whether cholesterol or its sulfate is used as the substrate. Moreover, the Km values for both of the substrates and for adrenodoxin are greatly modulated by both membrane phospholipids, isolated from adrenal mitochondria, and Tween 80, 0.002%. In the absence of detergents or phospholipids, the enzyme system shows a high affinity for cholesterol sulfate, but is inhibited when high concentrations of the sterol sulfate are added to the incubation mixture. Raising the concentration of adrenodoxin in the assay mixture prevents the substrate inhibition. When cholesterol sulfate is incorporated into micelles containing the phospholipids, the enzyme system does not display substrate inhibition, and the kinetics of cleavage of the sterol sulfate are relatively independent of the concentration of adrenodoxin in the assay mixture. In the absence of phospholipids, the apparent kinetics of cleavage of cholesterol and its sulfate are quite different from each other, but when incorporated into micelles containing phospholipids, the kinetics of cleavage of the two substrates are similar to each other. 相似文献

Enzyme kinetics are usually described by the hyperbolic Michaelis-Menten equation, but they can also be described by the following exponential function: -dS/dt = Vm [1 - exp (-S/Km)]. The time-dependent decrease of the substrate (-dS/dt) is an exponential function of maximal velocity (Vm), the Michaelis constant (Km) and the actual substrate value (S). This exponential function is based on the assumption that the association of the substrate-enzyme complex is a concentration-dependent process, whereas the transformation of the substrate-enzyme complex is time-dependent. It can be shown that this exponential function is a more general solution of which the hyperbolic Michaelis-Menten equation is a special derivative under the conditions of low substrate (S) and high constant (Km) values. If the association process is time-dependent, the decline in substrate values will show a more concave curve. However, exponential functions in general are more concave than hyperbolic functions. Probably, therefore, the enzyme action of chymotrypsin could be described more appropriately by the present exponential function than by the conventional hyperbolic function. 相似文献

Eadie-Hofstee plots (v/[S] vs. v) of the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by purified bovine heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase (MF1) over a substrate (MgATP) concentration range of 1-5000 microM were curvilinear, indicating negative cooperativity with respect to [MgATP] as originally shown by Ebel & Lardy (1975) [Ebel, R. E., & Lardy, H. A. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 191-196]. The data were computer analyzed for the best fit of the least number of straight lines, each representing a different apparent Km and Vmax. The best fits for MF1 and TF1 from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 were three lines in each case. The upper limits of the apparent Km values for MF1 were of the order of 10(-6), 10(-4), and 10(-3) M, and the corresponding apparent Vmax values (per minute per milligram of protein) were in the range of micromoles or less for the lowest Km line and decamicromoles for the other two. The results for TF1 were very similar. The presence of an activating anion (10 mM KHCO3) in the MF1 assay medium increased the overall Vmax by about 50% and eliminated the high Km but had essentially no effect on the intermediate and low Km's, indicating retention of negative cooperativity in the corresponding substrate concentration range. Kinetic data for MgITP as substrate also yielded two Km values (in the absence of KHCO3) differing by about 10(4)-fold. The relationship between [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide [( 14C]-DCCD) binding to MF1 and activity inhibition was linear up to approximately 1 mol of DCCD bound/mol of MF1. At this point, the degree of inhibition was about 95%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Substrate-dependent inhibition kinetics of an active site-directed inhibitor of ADAMTS-4 (Aggrecanase 1) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase-1) is implicated in the breakdown of articular cartilage and is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in arthritis. Cleavage of the native substrate, aggrecan, occurs through exosite interactions and peptide sequence recognition. Although expected to be competitive with aggrecan, the hydroxamic acid, SC81956, demonstrated noncompetitive inhibition kinetics with a Ki of 23 nM. The IC50 of SC81956 did not change when aggrecan was varied from 12.8 to 200 nM (0.2-3.3 times the apparent aggrecan Km of 61 nM) but was shifted as expected for a competitive inhibitor when increasing levels of a low molecular weight peptide substrate were added to a fluorogenic peptide assay system. These observations are consistent with a model for aggrecan cleavage where substrate initially binds at an exosite, followed by binding of the appropriate peptide sequence at the active site. A peptide-competitive inhibitor could bind both free enzyme and initial substrate-enzyme exosite complex but would be excluded by the final Michaelis complex. Noncompetitive appearing kinetics for such inhibitors is predicted as long as the equilibrium between the two forms of enzyme-substrate complex significantly favors the initial exosite complex. In support, hydrolysis of a low molecular weight peptide substrate and its inhibition by SC81956 were unaffected by aggrecan concentrations substantially above the Km. These observations suggest that the apparent Km for aggrecan cleavage predominately reflects the exosite interaction. Consequently, the efficacy of active-site inhibitors of ADAMTS-4 will not be limited by competition with native substrate as predicted from the Km determined by traditional kinetic models. 相似文献

The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (ATP:oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (transphosphorylating), EC 4.1.1.49) of the epimastigote form of Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi has been purified to homogeneity. The enzyme is composed of two apparently identical 42,000 +/- 500 subunits, is highly specific for adenine nucleotides, and has a strict requirement of Mn2+ ions for activity; the activation of the enzyme by ionic Mn2+ reveals that one Mn2+ ion required for each 42,000 subunit. Hyperbolic kinetics are observed for all substrates in the carboxylation reaction with Km (phosphoenolpyruvate) of 0.36 +/- 0.08 mM, Km (HCO-3) of 3.7 +/- 0.2 mM, and Km (Mg-ADP) of 39 +/- 1 microM. In the decarboxylation reaction the kinetics with respect to oxalacetic acid are also hyperbolic with a Km of 27 +/- 3 microM, but towards Mg-ATP there is a biphasic response: hyperbolic at low (less than 250 microM) concentrations with a Km of 39 +/- 1 microM, but at higher concentrations the nucleotide produces a strong inhibition of the enzyme activity. This inhibition is also observed with Mg-GTP and Mg-ITP which are not substrates of the reaction. The results are consistent with an important regulatory function of the enzyme in the amino-acid catabolism of T. cruzi. 相似文献

Kinetic analysis of the Ca2+-dependent, membrane-bound, macrophage phospholipase A2 and the effects of arachidonic acid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The kinetics of the Ca2+-dependent, alkaline pH optimum, membrane-bound phospholipase A2 from the P388D1 macrophage-like cell line were studied using various phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) substrates. This enzyme exhibits "surface dilution kinetics" toward PC in Triton X-100 mixed micelles, and the "dual phospholipid model" was found to adequately describe its kinetic behavior. With substrate in the form of sonicated vesicles, the dual phospholipid model should give rise to Michaelis-Menten type kinetics. However, the hydrolysis of dipalmitoyl-PC, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-PC, and 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-PC vesicles exhibited two distinct activities. Below 10 microM, the data appeared to follow Michaelis-Menten behavior, while at higher concentrations, the data could best be fit to a Hill equation with a Hill coefficient of 2. These PCs had Vmax values for the low substrate concentration range of 0.2-0.6 nmol min-1 mg-1 and Km values of 1-2 microM. At the high substrate concentration range, the Vmax values were between 5 and 7 nmol min-1 mg-1. PC containing unsaturated fatty acids had an apparent Km, determined from the Hill equation, of about 15 microM, while the apparent Km of dipalmitoyl-PC was 0.6 microM. When 70% glycerol was included in the assays, a single Michaelis-Menten curve was obtained for both dipalmitoyl-PC and 1-stearoyl,2-arachidonoyl-PC. Possible explanations for these kinetic results include reconstitution of the membrane-bound phospholipase A2 in the phospholipid vesicle or the enzyme has tow distinct phospholipid binding function. The kinetics for both dipalmitoyl-PC and dipalmitoyl-PE hydrolysis in vesicles was very similar, indicating that the enzyme does not greatly prefer one of these head groups over the other. The enzyme also showed no preference for arachidonoyl containing phospholipid. Enzymatic activity toward PC containing saturated fatty acids was linear to about 15% hydrolysis while the hydrolysis of PC containing unsaturated fatty acids was linear to only about 5%. This loss of linearity was due to inhibition by released unsaturated fatty acids. Arachidonic acid was found to be a competitive inhibitor of dipalmitoyl PC hydrolysis with a K1 of 5 microM. This tight binding suggests a possible in vivo regulatory role for arachidonic acid. Three compounds of the arachidonic acid cascade, prostaglandin F2 alpha, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, and thromboxane B2, showed no inhibition of enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Some kinetic properties of N-acetylglutamate 5-phosphotransferase (ATP: N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-phosphotransferase EC 2.7.2.8) purified approx. 2000-fold from Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been studied. The enzyme required Mg2+ for activity. Mn2+, Zn2+, Co2+, and Ca2+, in this order, could replace Mg2+ partially. The substrate specificity was narrow: N-carbamoyl-L-glutamate and N-formyl-L-glutamate were phosphorylated, but at a lower rate than N-acetyl-L-glutamate; N-propionyl-L-glutamate was almost inactive as a substrate. dATP, but neither GTP nor ITP, could be used instead of ATP. The enzyme had a broad pH optimum from pH 6.5 to 9. Feedback inhibition by L-arginine was markedly dependent on pH. Above pH 9 no inhibition was observed. L-Citrulline was three times less potent an inhibitor than L-arginine. The enzyme showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, even at low concentration of the second substrate. The apparent Km was 2 mM for N-acetyl-L-glutamate (at 10 mM ATP) and approx. 3 mM for ATP (at 40 mM N-acetyl-L-glutamate). In the presence of L-arginine the rate-concentration curves for N-acetyl-L-glutamate became signoidal, while no cooperativity was detected for ATP. A method was developed allowing the determination of N-acetyl-L-glutamate in the nanomolar range by means of purified enzyme. 相似文献

Light regulation of diurnal variation of sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity was studied in potato leaves during pre-tuber
initiation stage. SPS activity was greatest at 14:00 and coincident with highest irradiance [2 000 μmol(PAR) m-2 s-1], and
lowest at 18:00 during lowest irradiance (200 μmol m-2 s-1). In contrast, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) activity was
greatest at 12:00 (irradiance 1 700 μmol m-2 s-1). Inhibition of SPS activity by phosphorylation was least at 14:00 and highest
at 18:00. Considerable inhibition was also observed at 10:00. SPS showed hyperbolic saturation kinetics in response to varying
UDP-glucose concentrations. Diurnal variation of SPS activity was due to a change of affinity for its substrate (Km), but
not due to change of Vmax. Phosphate (Pi) decreased the activation state of SPS. Inhibition by Pi was most severe under limiting
UDP-glucose concentration. Sensitivity towards Pi inhibition at limiting substrate concentration was highest at 18:00 and
lowest at 14:00. Change of tissue phosphate concentration followed the opposite pattern to that of diurnal variation of SPS
activity and irradiance, being highest at 18:00 and lowest at 14:00. A dual mode of regulation is considered to exist for
diurnal variation of potato leaf SPS: covalent modification and effector (Pi) regulation. Thus the change of tissue phosphate
concentration may play a pivotal role in regulating potato leaf SPS.

The kinetics of glyoxalase I [(R)-S-lactoylglutathione methylglyoxal-lyase; EC 4.4.1.5] and glyoxalase II (S-2-hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase; EC 3.1.2.6) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied in situ, in digitonin permeabilized cells, using two different approaches: initial rate analysis and progress curves analysis. Initial rate analysis was performed by hyperbolic regression of initial rates using the program HYPERFIT. Glyoxalase I exhibited saturation kinetics on 0.05-2.5 mM hemithioacetal concentration range, with kinetic parameters Km 0.53 +/- 0.07 mM and V (3.18 +/- 0.16) x 10(-2) mM.min(-1). Glyoxalase II also showed saturation kinetics in the SD-lactoylglutathione concentration range of 0.15-3 mM and Km 0.32 +/- 0.13 mM and V (1.03 +/- 0.10) x 10(-3) mM.min(-1) were obtained. The kinetic parameters of both enzymes were also estimated by nonlinear regression of progress curves using the raw absorbance data and integrated differential rate equations with the program GEPASI. Several optimization methods were used to minimize the sum of squares of residuals. The best parameter fit for the glyoxalase I reaction was obtained with a single curve analysis, using the irreversible Michaelis-Menten model. The kinetic parameters obtained, Km 0.62 +/- 0.18 mM and V (2.86 +/- 0.01) x 10(-2) mM.min(-1), were in agreement with those obtained by initial rate analysis. The results obtained for glyoxalase II, using either the irreversible Michaelis-Menten model or a phenomenological reversible hyperbolic model, showed a high correlation of residuals with time and/or high values of standard deviation associated with Km. The possible causes for the discrepancy between data obtained from initial rate analysis and progress curve analysis, for glyoxalase II, are discussed. 相似文献

The rate expression is not simple for the net uptake of a substrate from the cell's environment. Typically, a substrate is passed via a permease, and/or a carrier molecule which traverses the membrane by a process which is possibly coupled to an energy-consuming mechanism, and then finally it is enzymically utilized for cell growth or returned to the environment by some leak process. Mathematically, neither this full case, nor one-way entry, nor one-way efflux, nor the steady-state entry, discharged by independent efflux mechanisms yield simple hyperbolic dependencies on substrate concentration. On the other hand, the calculations presented here show the deviations from hyperbolic kinetics are not large unless possibly extreme choices of certain of the kinetic constants are made. 相似文献

Reconstituted actomyosin (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) (0.400 mg F-actin/mg myosin) in 10.0 muM ATP loses 96% of its specific ATPase activity when its reaction concentration is decreased from 42.0 mug/ml down to 0.700 mug/ml. The loss of specific activity at the very low enzyme concentrations is prevented by the addition of more F-actin to 17.6 mug/ml. It is concluded that at low actomyosin concentrations the complex dissociates into free myosin with a very low specific ATPase activity and free F-actin with no ATPase. The dissociation of the essential low molecular weight subunits of myosin from the heavy chains at very low actomyosin concentrations may be a contributing factor. Actomyosin has its maximum specific activity at pH 7.8-8.2. The Km for ATP is 9.4 muM, which is at least 20-fold greater than myosin's Km for ATP. The actin-activated ATPase of myosin follows hyperbolic kinetics with varying F-actin concentrations. The Km values for F-actin are 0.110 muM (4.95 mug/ml) at pH 7.4 and 0.241 muM (10.8 mug/ml) at pH 7.8. The actin-activated maximum turnover numbers for myosin are 9.3 s-1 at pH 7.4 and 11.6 s-1 at pH 7.8. The actomyosin ATPase is inhibited by KCl. This KCl inhibition is not competitive with respect to F-actin, and it is not a simple form of non-competitive inhibition. 相似文献
