We previously reported that the kinetic profiles for the association and dissociation of functionally diverse C(8)-CoA-ligands, viz., octanoyl-CoA (substrate), octenoyl-CoA (product), and octynoyl-CoA (inactivator) with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), were essentially identical, suggesting that the protein conformational changes played an essential role during ligand binding and/or catalysis [Peterson, K. L., Sergienko, E. E., Wu, Y., Kumar, N. R., Strauss, A. W., Oleson, A. E., Muhonen, W. W., Shabb, J. B., and Srivastava, D. K. (1995) Biochemisry 34, 14942-14953]. To ascertain the structural basis of the above similarity, we investigated the kinetics of association and dissociation of alpha-CH-->NH-substituted C(8)-CoA, namely, 2-azaoctanoyl-CoA, with the recombinant form of human liver MCAD. The rapid-scanning and single wavelength stopped-flow data for the binding of 2-azaoctanoyl-CoA to MCAD revealed that the overall interaction proceeds via two steps. The first (fast) step involves the formation of an enzyme-ligand collision complex (with a dissociation constant of K(c)), followed by a slow isomerization step (with forward and reverse rate constants of k(f) and k(r), respectively) with concomitant changes in the electronic structure of the enzyme-bound FAD. Since the latter step involves a concurrent change in the enzyme's tryptophan fluorescence, it is suggested that the isomerization step is coupled to the changes in the protein conformation. Although the overall binding affinity (K(d)) of the enzyme-2-azaoctanoyl-CoA complex is similar to that of the enzyme-octenoyl-CoA complex, their microscopic equilibria within the collision and isomerized complexes show an opposite relationship. These results coupled with the isothermal titration microcalorimetric studies lead to the suggestion that the electrostatic interaction within the enzyme site phase modulates the microscopic steps, as well as their corresponding ground and transition states, during the course of the enzyme-ligand interaction. 相似文献

The pKa value of a substrate analogue 3-thiaoctanoyl-CoA at alphaC-H is known to drop from ca. 16 in the free state to 5-6 upon binding to medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD). The molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon was investigated by taking advantage of artificial FADs, i.e., 8-CN-, 7,8-Cl2-, 8-Cl-, 8-OCH3-, 8-NH2-, ribityl-2'-deoxy-8-CN-, and ribityl-2'-deoxy-8-Cl-FADs, reconstituted into MCAD. The stronger the electron-withdrawing ability of the substituent, the smaller the pKa value became [e.g., 7.4 (8-NH2-FAD) and 4.0 (8-CN-FAD)], suggesting that the flavin ring itself affects the pKa value of the ligand via a charge-transfer interaction with the ligand. The destruction of the hydrogen bond between the thioester C(1)=O and the ribityl-2'-OH of FAD raised the pKa by ca. 2.5 units. These results indicate that the interaction between the ligand and the flavin ring also serves to lower the pKa of the ligand, in addition to the hydrogen bonds at C(1)=O of the ligand. 相似文献

Pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetics of the papain (EC 3.4.22.2)-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-alpha-carbobenzoxyglycine p-nitrophenyl ester (ZGlyONp) have been determined between pH 3.0 and 9.5 (I = 0.1 M) at 21 +/- 0.5 degrees C. The results are consistent with the minimum three-step mechanism involving the acyl X enzyme intermediate E X P: (Formula: see text). The formation of the E X S complex may be regarded as a rapid pseudoequilibrium process; the minimum values for k+1 are 8.0 microM-1 s-1 (pH less than or equal to 3.5) and 0.40 microM-1 s-1 (pH greater than 6.0), and that for k-1 is 600 s-1 (pH independent). The pH profile of k+2/Ks (= kcat/Km; Ks = k-1/k+1) reflects the ionization of two groups with pK' values of 4.5 +/- 0.1 and 8.80 +/- 0.15 in the free enzyme. The pH dependence of k+2 and k+3 (measured only at pH values below neutrality) implicates one ionizing group in the acylation and deacylation step with pK' values of 5.80 +/- 0.15 and 3.10 +/- 0.15, respectively. As expected from the pH dependences of k+2/Ks (= kcat/Km) and k+2, the value of Ks changes with pH from 7.5 X 10(1) microM (pH less than or equal to 3.5) to 1.5 X 10(3) microM (pH greater than 6.0). Values of k-2 and k-3 are close to zero over the whole pH range explored (3.0 to 9.5). The pH dependence of kinetic parameters indicates that at acid pH values (less than or equal to 3.5), the k+2 step is rate limiting in catalysis, whereas for pH values higher than 3.5, k+3 becomes rate limiting. The observed ionizations probably reflect the acid-base equilibria of residues involved in the catalytic diad of papain, His159-Cys25. Comparison with catalytic properties of ficins and bromelains suggests that the results reported here may be of general significance for cysteine proteinase catalyzed reactions. 相似文献

We succeeded in the purification and gene cloning of a new enzyme, α-methyl carboxylic acid deracemizing enzyme 1 (MCAD1) from Brevibacterium ketoglutamicum KU1073, which catalyzes the (S)-enantioselective thioesterification reaction of 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propanoic acid (CPPA). The cloned gene of MCAD1 contained an ORF of 1,623 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 540 amino acids. In combination with cofactors ATP, coenzyme A (CoASH), and Mg(2+), MCAD1 demonstrated perfect enantioselectivity toward CPPA. The optimal pH and temperature for reaction were found to be 7.25 and 30 °C. Under these conditions, the K(m) and k(cat) values for (S)-CPPA were 0.92 ± 0.17 mM and 0.28 ± 0.026 s(-1) respectively. The results for substrate specificity revealed that MCAD1 had highest activity toward fatty acid tails with a medium chain-length (C(8)). This result indicates that MCAD1 should be classified into a family of medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase. This novel activity has never been reported for this family. 相似文献

To obtain insight into the functional properties of Treponema denticola cystalysin, we have analyzed the pH- and ligand-induced spectral transitions, the pH dependence of the kinetic parameters, and the substrate specificity of the purified enzyme. The absorption spectrum of cystalysin has maxima at 418 and 320 nm. The 320 nm band increases at high pH, while the 418 nm band decreases; the apparent pK(spec) of this spectral transition is about 8.4. Cystalysin emitted fluorescence at 367 and 504 nm upon excitation at 320 and 418 nm, respectively. The pH profile for the 367 nm emission intensity increases above a single pK of approximately 8.4. On this basis, the 418 and 320 nm absorbances have been attributed to the ketoenamine and substituted aldamine, respectively. The pH dependence of both log k(cat) and log k(cat)/K(m) for alpha,beta-elimination reaction indicates that a single ionizing group with a pK value of approximately 6.6 must be unprotonated to achieve maximum velocity. This implies that cystalysin is more catalytically competent in alkaline solution where a remarkable portion of its coenzyme exists as inactive aldamine structure. Binding of substrates or substrate analogues to the enzyme over the pH range 6-9.5 converts both the 418 and 320 nm bands into an absorbing band at 429 nm, assigned to the external aldimine in the ketoenamine form. All these data suggest that the equilibrium from the inactive aldamine form of the coenzyme shifts to the active ketoenamine form on substrate binding. In addition, reinvestigation of the substrate spectrum of alpha,beta-elimination indicates that cystalysin is a cyst(e)ine C-S lyase rather than a cysteine desulfhydrase as claimed previously. 相似文献

1. Reactions of enzymes with site-specific reagents may involve intermediate adsorptive complexes formed by parallel reactions in several protonic states. Accordingly, a profile of the apparent second-order rate constant for the modification reaction (Kobs., the observed rate constant under conditions where the reagent concentration is low enough for the reaction to be first-order in reagent) against pH can, in general, reflect free-reactant-state molecular pKa values only if a quasi-equilibrium condition exists around the reactive protonic state (EHR) of the adsorptive complex. 2. Usually the condition for quasi-equilibrium is expressed in terms of the rate constants around EHR: (formula: see text) i.e. k mod. less than k-2. This often cannot be assessed directly, particularly if it is not possible to determine kmod. 3. It is shown that kmod. must be much less than k-2, however, if kobs. (the pH-independent value of kobs.) less than k+2. 4. Since probable values of k+2 greater than 10(6)M-1.S-1 and since values of kobs. for many modification reactions less than 10(6)M-1.S-1, the equilibrium assumption should be valid, and kinetic study of such reactions should provide reactant-state pKa values. 5. This may not apply to catalyses, because for them the value of kcat./Km may exceed 5 X 10(5)M-1.S-1. 6. The conditions under which the formation of an intermediate complex by parallel pathways may come to quasi-equilibrium are discussed in the Appendix. 相似文献

The pH dependence (pH 4.5-10.5) of the hydrolysis of seven hippuric acid esters (C6H5CONHCH2C-O2CR1R2CO2H: 1a: R1 = R2 = H; 1b: R1 = R2 = CH3; 1c: R1 = H, R2 = p-ClC6H4; 1d: R1 = H, R2 = C2H5; 1e: R1 = H, R2 = (CH3)2CHCH2; 1f: R1 = H, R2 = C6H5; 1g: R1 = H, R2 = C6H5CH2) by bovine carboxypeptidase A has been investigated, and the pH dependence of the substrate activation of 1a-c and the substrate inhibition of 1d-g have been compared. For all seven esters the catalytically productive binding of the first substrate molecule depends on enzymatic pKa values of 6.0 and 9.1. For 1d, 1e, and 1g the rate of hydrolysis (k2app) of this complex is pH independent, whereas for 1f k2app depends on a pKa of 5.9. The rate of hydrolysis (k3app) of the 1:2 enzyme-substrate complex (ES2) is pH independent for 1d-g, but for 1a-c k3app depends on the following pKa values: 1a, 6.1 and 9.1; 1b, 5.4; 1c, 6.6. The pH dependences of k2app for 1f and k3app for 1c are rationalized by the presence of catalytically nonproductive species. Equivalent ES2 species are believed to be productive for 1c-g; however, the productive ES2 species for 1b must be quite different. 相似文献

The kinetics of bilirubin binding to human serum albumin at pH 7.40, 4 degrees C, was studied by monitoring changes in bilirubin absorbance. The time course of the absorbance change at 380 nm was complex: at least three kinetic events were detected including the bimolecular association (k1 = 3.8 +/- 2.0 X 10(7) M-1 S-1) and two relaxation steps (52 = 40.2 +/- 9.4 s-1 and k3 = 3.8 +/- 0.5 s-1). The presence of the two slow relaxations was confirmed under pseudo-first order conditions with excess albumin. Curve-fitting procedures allowed the assignment of absorption coefficients to the intermediate species. When the bilirubin-albumin binding kinetics was observed at 420 nm, only the two relaxations were seen; apparently the second order association step was isosbestic at this wavelength. The rate of albumin-bound bilirubin dissociation was measured by mixing the pre-equilibrated human albumin-bilirubin complex with bovine albumin. The rate constant for bilirubin dissociation measured at 485 nm was k-3 = 0.01 s-1 at 4 degrees C. A minimum value of the equilibrium constant for bilirubin binding to human albumin determined from the ratio k1/k-3 is therefore approximately 4 X 10(9) M-1. 相似文献

The reactions of 2,3-dihydro-L-tryptophan (DHT) and oxindolyl-L-alanine (OXA) with tryptophan synthase have been investigated by rapid-scanning stopped-flow (RSSF) spectroscopy and by the concentration dependence of rates measured by single-wavelength stopped-flow (SWSF) spectroscopy. The RSSF spectral changes for DHT and OXA show the disappearance of the internal aldimine (lambda max 412 nm), the formation and decay of intermediates absorbing less than or equal to 340 nm, and the appearance of the quinonoid (lambda max 492 and 480 nm, respectively). Rate constants determined by SWSF were either well resolved (i.e., k1[DHT], k-1 greater than k2, k-2 greater than k3, k-3) or indicative of a tightly coupled system (i.e., k1[OXA], k-1 greater than or equal to k2, k-2 greater than k3, k-3). The RSSF spectral changes and SWSF kinetic studies together with computer simulations of the kinetic time courses are consistent with a mechanism that includes formation of a bleached species. Detection of these shorter wavelength species in the reactions of OXA and DHT indicates that substrate analogues with tetrahedral geometry at C-3 induce new protein-substrate interactions that result in the accumulation of species not previously detected in the tryptophan synthase system. The bleached species with lambda max less than or equal to 340 nm are proposed as the gem-diamine intermediates. 相似文献

Carbon monoxide binding with both cholesterol-free (low-spin) and cholesterol-bound (high-spin) reduced forms of purified cytochrome P-450scc has been investigated by rapid-scan and stopped-flow spectrometry. CO binding occurs within 150 ms at 25 degrees C for both forms of P-450scc, with a typical absorption maximum at 450 nm. Isosbestic points occur at the following wavelengths: between reduced-CO and reduced cholesterol-free P-450scc at 434 and 471 nm; between reduced-CO and reduced cholesterol-bound P-450scc at 433 and 469 nm. Both the 'on' (k1) and 'off' rate constants (k-1) are found to be independent of pH between pH 5 and 9. The mean values of k1 for cholesterol-free (1.8 +/- 0.2) X 10(5) M-1 X s-1) and cholesterol-bound [1.9 +/- 0.1) X 10(5) M-1 X s-1) P-450scc are almost identical, while the mean value of k-1 for the former [2.3 +/- 0.3) X 10 s-1) is about double that of the latter [1.2 +/- 0.1) X 10 s-1). This suggests the instability of the reduced-CO complex in the absence of cholesterol. 相似文献

Phosphoglucose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9) catalyzes the interconversion of D-glucopyranose-6-phosphate and D-fructofuranose-6-phosphate by promoting an intrahydrogen transfer between C1 and C2. A conserved histidine exists throughout all phosphoglucose isomerases and was hypothesized to be the base catalyzing the isomerization reaction. In the present study, this conserved histidine, His311, of the enzyme from Bacillus stearothermophilus was subjected to mutational analysis, and the mutational effect on the inactivation kinetics by N-bromoacetylethanolamine phosphate was investigated. The substitution of His311 with alanine, asparagine, or glutamine resulted in the decrease of activity, in k(cat)/K(M), by a factor of 10(3), indicating the importance of this residue. N-bromoacetylethanolamine phosphate inactivated irreversibly the activity of wild-type phosphoglucose isomerase; however, His311 --> Ala became resistant to this inhibitor, indicating that His311 is located in the active site and is responsible for the inactivation of the enzyme by this active site-directed inhibitor. The pKa of His311 was estimated to be 6.31 according to the pH dependence of the inactivation. The proximity of this value with the pKa value of 6.35, determined from the pH dependence of k(cat)/K(M), supports a role of His311 as a general base in the catalysis. 相似文献

2,4-Hexadienoyl-coenzyme A (HD-CoA) has been used to investigate the redox and ionization properties of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) from pig kidney. HD-CoA is a thermodynamically stabilized product analogue that binds tightly to oxidized MCAD (K(dox) = 3.5 +/- 0.1 microM, pH 7.6) and elicits a redox potential shift that is 78% of that observed with the natural substrate/product couple [Lenn, N. D., Stankovich, M. T., and Liu, H. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 3709-3715]. The midpoint potential of the MCAD.HD-CoA complex exhibits a pH dependence that is consistent with the redox-linked ionization of two key glutamic acids as well as the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor. The estimated ionization constants for Glu376-COOH (pK(a,ox) approximately 9.3) and Glu99-COOH (pK(a,ox) approximately 7.4) in the oxidized MCAD.HD-CoA complex indicate that while binding of the C(6) analogue makes Glu376 a stronger catalytic base (pK(a,ox) approximately 6.5, free MCAD), it has little effect on the pK of Glu99 (pK(a,ox) approximately 7.5, free MCAD) [Mancini-Samuelson, G. J., Kieweg, V., Sabaj, K. M., Ghisla, S., and Stankovich, M. T. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 14605-14612]. This finding is in agreement with the apparent pK of 9.2 determined for Glu376 in the human MCAD.4-thia-octenoyl-CoA complex [Rudik, I., Ghisla, S., and Thorpe, C. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 8437-8445]. The pK(a)s estimated for Glu376 and Glu99 in the reduced pig kidney MCAD.HD-CoA complex, 9.8 and 8.6, respectively, suggest that both of these residues remain protonated in the charge-transfer complex under physiological conditions. Polarization of HD-CoA in the enzyme active site may contribute to the observed pK(a) and redox potential shifts. Consequently, the electronic structures of the product analogue in its free and MCAD-bound forms have been characterized by Raman difference spectroscopy. Binding to either the oxidized or reduced enzyme results in localized pi-electron polarization of the hexadienoyl C(1)=O and C(2)=C(3) bonds. The C(4)=C(5) bond, in contrast, is relatively unaffected by binding. These results suggest that, upon binding to MCAD, HD-CoA is selectively polarized such that partial positive charge develops at the C(3)-H region of the ligand, regardless of the oxidation state of the enzyme. 相似文献

The phospholipase A2 of Trimeresurus flavoviridis was found to show monomer-dimer equilibria. Under conditions where the enzyme exists predominantly in the monomeric form, the chemical reaction rate of p-bromophenacyl bromide (BPB) with the catalytic group, His 48, was studied at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.2 by measuring the residual enzymic activity using a fluorescent substrate, 1,2-bis[4-(1-pyreno)butanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (diPBPC). The pH-dependence curve of the reaction rate for the intact enzyme was practically the same as that for the modified enzyme, in which the N-terminal alpha-NH2 group had been selectively converted into an alpha-keto group. The pH-dependence curves were monophasic (sigmoidal) with a midpoint at pH 7.53, which corresponds to the pKa value of His 48. The pH dependences of the binding constants of Ca2+ to the intact and the alpha-NH2 modified enzymes were also studied at 25 degrees C and ionic strength 0.2 by measuring the changes in the tryptophyl fluorescence and/or aromatic CD spectra. The pH-dependence data for the modified enzyme were interpreted in terms of participation of Asp 49 (pKa 5.40) and His 48 (pKa 7.53), assuming that the protonation of Asp 49 competes with the Ca2+ binding. The pH-dependence data for the intact enzyme were similarly interpreted in terms of participation of the alpha-NH2 group (pKa 9.40) in addition to that of Asp 49 (pKa 5.40) and His 48 (pKa 7.53).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) and acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO) are key enzymes catalyzing the rate-determining step for the beta-oxidation of fatty acids. Tyr375 of MCAD is conserved in all acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and is an important residue for substrate binding. Four Tyr375 variant enzymes of rat liver MCAD were obtained through site-directed mutagenesis. Y375K was found to have intrinsic acyl-CoA oxidase activity, which was confirmed using HPLC analysis, while the wild-type and other Tyr375 variant enzymes did not show detectable oxidase activity. The kinetic parameters for the oxidase activity of Y375K variant enzyme were determined to be k(cat) of 320+/-80 h(-1) and K(M) of 30+/-15 microM using hexanoyl-CoA as the substrate. The oxidase activity of Y375K increased more than 200 times compared with that reported for the MCAD wild-type enzyme from mammalian sources. Molecular modeling study shows that the solvent accessible area for Y375K variant enzyme is wider than that of the wild-type enzyme, which indicates that Tyr375 may function as a switch against solvent accession. The mutation of this residue to Lys375 allows molecular oxygen to enter into the catalytic site serving as the electron acceptor for the reduced FAD cofactor. 相似文献

Pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetics for the p.p. elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of ZAlaONp, one of the most favourable substrates for this serine protease, have been studied between pH 4.0 and 8.0. The results are consistent with the minimum three-step mechanism: (formula; see text) Under pre-steady-state conditions, where [E0] much greater than [S0], the values of the dissociation constant of the E X S complex (Ks = k-1/k+1) and of the individual rate constants for the catalytic steps (k+2 and k+3) have been determined over the whole pH range explored. Under steady-state conditions, where [S0] much greater than [E0], the values of kcat and Km have been obtained over the same pH range. The pH profiles of k+2, k+3, k+2/Ks, kcat, kcat/Km reflect the ionization of a group, probably His57, with a pKa value of 6.85 +/- 0.10. The values of Ks and Km are pH independent. The steady-state parameters for the p.p. elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of a number of p-nitrophenyl esters of N-alpha-carbobenzoxy-L-amino acids have been also determined between pH 4.0 and 8.0 and compared with those of b.beta-trypsin and b.alpha-chymotrypsin. For all the substrates examined the acylation step (k+2) is rate limiting in the p.p. elastase catalysis, between pH 4.0 and 8.0. The different catalytic behaviours of p.p. elastase, b.beta-trypsin and b.alpha-chymotrypsin are consistent with the known three-dimensional structures of these serine proteases. 相似文献

Ultraviolet difference spectroscopy of the binary complex of isozyme 4-4 of rat liver glutathione S-transferase with glutathione (GSH) and the enzyme alone or as the binary complex with the oxygen analogue, gamma-L-glutamyl-L-serylglycine (GOH), at neutral pH reveals an absorption band at 239 nm (epsilon = 5200 M-1 cm-1) that is assigned to the thiolate anion (GS-) of the bound tripeptide. Titration of this difference absorption band over the pH range 5-8 indicates that the thiol of enzyme-bound GSH has a pKa = 6.6, which is about 2.4 pK units less than that in aqueous solution and consistent with the kinetically determined pKa previously reported [Chen et al. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 647]. The observed shift in the pKa between enzyme-bound and free GSH suggests that about 3.3 kcal/mol of the intrinsic binding energy of the peptide is utilized to lower the pKa into the physiological pH range. Apparent dissociation constants for both GSH and GOH are comparable and vary by a factor of less than 2 over the same pH range. Site occupancy data and spectral band intensity reveal large extinction coefficients at 239 nm (epsilon = 5200 M-1 cm-1) and 250 nm (epsilon = 1100 M-1 cm-1) that are consistent with the existence of either a glutathione thiolate (E.GS-) or ion-paired thiolate (EH+.GS-) in the active site. The observation that GS- is likely the predominant tripeptide species bound at the active site suggested that the carboxylate analogue of GSH, gamma-L-glutamyl-(D,L-2-aminomalonyl)glycine, should bind more tightly than GSH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Human class I beta 3 beta 3 is one of the alcohol dehydrogenase dimers that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of ethanol. The beta 3 subunit has a Cys substitution for Arg-369 (beta 369C) in the coenzyme-binding site of the beta1 subunit. Kinetic studies have demonstrated that this natural mutation in the coenzyme-binding site decreases affinity for NAD+ and NADH. Structural studies suggest that the enzyme isomerizes from an open to closed form with coenzyme binding. However, the extent to which this isomerization limits catalysis is not known. In this study, stopped-flow kinetics were used from pH 6 to 9 with recombinant beta 369C to evaluate rate-limiting steps in coenzyme association and catalysis. Association rates of NADH approached an apparent zero-order rate with increasing NADH concentrations at pH 7.5 (42 +/- 1 s-1). This observation is consistent with an NADH-induced isomerization of the enzyme from an open to closed conformation. The pH dependence of apparent zero-order rate constants fit best a model in which a single ionization limits diminishing rates (pKa = 7.2 +/- 0.1), and coincided with Vmax values for acetaldehyde reduction. This indicates that NADH-induced isomerization to a closed conformation may be rate-limiting for acetaldehyde reduction. The pH dependence of equilibrium NADH-binding constants fits best a model in which a single ionization leads to a loss in NADH affinity (pKa = 8.1 +/- 0. 2). Rate constants for isomerization from a closed to open conformation were also calculated, and these values coincided with Vmax for ethanol oxidation above pH 7.5. This suggests that NADH-induced isomerization of beta 369C from a closed to open conformation is rate-limiting for ethanol oxidation above pH 7.5. 相似文献

The elementary steps surrounding the nucleotide binding step in the cross-bridge cycle were investigated with sinusoidal analysis in rabbit soleus slow-twitch muscle fibers. The single-fiber preparations were activated at pCa 4.40, ionic strength 180 mM, 20 degrees C, and the effects of MgATP (S) and MgADP (D) concentrations on three exponential processes B, C, and D were studied. Our results demonstrate that all apparent (measured) rate constants increased and saturated hyperbolically as the MgATP concentration was increased. These results are consistent with the following cross-bridge scheme: [cross-bridge scheme: see text] where A = actin, M = myosin, S = MgATP, and D = MgADP. AM+S is a collision complex, and AM*S is its isomerized form. From our studies, we obtained K0 = 18 +/- 4 mM-1 (MgADP association constant, N = 7, average +/- sem), K1a = 1.2 +/- 0.3 mM-1 (MgATP association constant, N = 8 hereafter), k1b = 90 +/- 20 s-1 (rate constant of ATP isomerization), k-1b = 100 +/- 9 s-1 (rate constant of reverse isomerization), K1b = 1.0 +/- 0.2 (equilibrium constant of isomerization), k2 = 21 +/- 3 s-1 (rate constant of cross-bridge detachment), k-2 = 14.1 +/- 1.0 s-1 (rate constant of reversal of detachment), and K2 = 1.6 +/- 0.3 (equilibrium constant of detachment). K0 is 8 times and K1a is 2.2 times those in rabbit psoas, indicating that nucleotides bind to cross-bridges more tightly in soleus slow-twitch muscle fibers than in psoas fast-twitch muscle fibers. These results indicate that cross-bridges of slow-twitch fibers are more resistant to ATP depletion than those of fast-twitch fibers. The rate constants of ATP isomerization and cross-bridge detachment steps are, in general, one-tenth to one-thirtieth of those in psoas. 相似文献

Rat peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase I is a key enzyme for the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, and the deficiency of this enzyme in patient has been previously reported. It was found that rat acyl-CoA oxidase I has intrinsic enoyl-CoA isomerase activity, which was confirmed using incubation followed with HPLC analysis in this study. Various 3-enoyl-CoA substrates with cis or trans configuration were synthesized and used in the study of enzyme substrate specificity. The isomerase activity of the enzyme was characterized through studies of kinetics, pH dependence, and enzyme inhibition. Most k(cat)/K(M) values of rat peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase I for isomerization reaction are comparable with those of authentic rat liver peroxisomal Delta(3)-Delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerase and rat liver peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme 1 when hexenoyl-CoA and octenoyl-CoA with cis- or trans-configuration were used as substrate. Glu421 was found to be the catalytic residue for both oxidase and isomerase activities of the enzyme. The isomerase activity of rat peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase I is probably due to a spontaneous process driven by thermodynamic equilibrium with formation of a conjugated structure after deprotonation of substrate alpha-proton. The energy level of transition state may be lowered by a stable dienolate intermediate, which gain further stabilization via charge transfer with electron-deficient FAD cofactor of the enzyme. 相似文献

alpha 2-Macroglobulin and the complement components C3 and C4 each contain a metastable binding site that is essential for covalent attachment. Two cyclic peptides are useful models of these unusual protein sites. Five-membered lactam 1 (CH3CO-Gly-Cys-Gly-Glu-Glp-Asn-NH2) contains an internal residue of pyroglutamic acid (Glp). Fifteen-membered thiolactone 2 (CH3CO-Gly-Cys-Gly-Glu-Glu-Asn-NH2 15-thiolactone) contains a thiol ester bond between Cys-2 and Glu-5. These isomeric hexapeptides are spontaneously interconverted in water. Competing with the two isomerization reactions are three reactions involving hydrolysis of 1 and 2. These five processes were found to occur simultaneously under physiologic conditions (phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.3, 37 degrees C). Best estimates of the five rate constants for these apparent first-order reactions were obtained by comparing the observed molar percentages of peptides 1-4 with those calculated from a set of exponential equations. Both isomerization reactions (ring expansion of 1 to 2, k1 = 6.4 X 10(-5) s-1; ring contraction of 2 to 1, k-1 = 69 X 10(-5) s-1) proceeded faster than any of the hydrolysis reactions: alpha-cleavage of 1 with fragmentation to form dipeptide 3 (k2 = 3.3 X 10(-5) s-1), gamma-cleavage of 1 with ring opening to yield mercapto acid 4 (k3 = 0.35 X 10(-5) s-1), and hydrolysis of 2 with ring opening to give 4 (k4 = 1.9 X 10(-5) s-1). The isomerization rate ratio (k1/k-1 = 10.9) agreed with the isomer ratio at equilibrium (1:2 = 11 starting from 1 and 10 starting from 2). The alpha/gamma regioselectivity ratio (k2/k3 = 9.7) for hydrolysis of the internal Glp residue of 1 was consistent with results for model tripeptides. Part of the chemistry of the protein metastable binding sites can be explained by similar isomerization and hydrolysis reactions. 相似文献
