Aldehyde analogues of the normal alcohol substrates induce ATPase activities by glycerokinase (D-glyceraldehyde), fructose-6-phosphate kinase (2,5-anhydromannose 6-phosphate), fructokinase (2,5-anhydromannose or 2,5-anhydrotalose), hexokinase (D-gluco-hexodialdose), choline kinase (betaine aldehyde), and pyruvate kinase (glyoxylate). Since purified deuterated aldehydes give V and V/K isotope effects near 1.0 for glycerokinase, fructokinase with 2,5-anhydro[1-2H]talose, hexokinase, choline kinase, and pyruvate kinase, the hydrates of these almost fully hydrated aldehydes are the activators of the ATPase reactions. Fructose-6-phosphate kinase and fructokinase with 2,5-anhydro[1-2H]mannose show V/K deuterium isotope effects of 1.10 and 1.22, respectively, suggesting either that both hydrate and free aldehyde may be activators (predicted values are 1.37 if only the free aldehyde activates the ATPase) or, more likely, that the phosphorylated hydrate breaks down in a rate-limiting step on the enzyme while MgADP is still present and the back-reaction to yield free hydrate in solution is still possible. 18O was transferred from the aldehyde hydrate to phosphate during the ATPase reactions of glycerokinase, fructose-6-phosphate kinase, fructokinase, and hexokinase but not with choline kinase or pyruvate kinase. Thus, direct phosphorylation of the hydrates by the first four enzymes gives the phosphate adduct of the aldehyde, which decomposes nonenzymatically, while with choline kinase and pyruvate kinase the hydrates induce transfer to water (metal-bound hydroxide or water with pyruvate kinase on the basis of pH profiles). Observation of a lag in the release of phosphate from the glycerokinase ATPase reaction at 15 degrees C supports the existence of a phosphorylated hydrate intermediate with a rate constant for breakdown of 0.035-0.043 s-1 at this temperature. Kinases that phosphorylate creatine, 3-phosphoglycerate, and acetate did not exhibit ATPase activities in the presence of keto or aldehyde analogues (N-methylhydantoic acid, D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, and acetaldehyde, respectively), possibly because of the absence of an acid-base catalytic group in the latter two cases. These analogues were competitive inhibitors vs. the normal substrates, and in the latter case, the hydrate of acetaldehyde was shown to be the inhibitory species on the basis of the deuterium isotope effect on the inhibition constant. 相似文献

Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (in a lesser degree, pyridoxal) interacts with both non-protonated and protonated exposed epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues and with alpha-amino groups in human serum albumin and pancreatic ribonuclease A. The reaction of Schiff base formation proceeds within a wide pH range--from 3.0 to 12.0. At a great pyridoxal-5-phosphate excess in ribonuclease A in neutral or slightly acidic aqueous media all the ten epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues and the alpha-amino groups of Lys-1 become modified. The formation of aldimine bonds of pyridoxal-5-phosphate with protonated amino groups in acidic media is determined by ionization of its phenol hydroxyl and phosphate residues. Acetaldehyde, propionic aldehyde and pyridine aldehyde interact only with non-protonated amino groups of the proteins. The equilibrium constants of pyridoxal-5-phosphate and other aldehydes binding to proteins and amino acids were determined. The rate constants of Schiff base formation for pyridoxal-5-phosphates with some amino acids and primary sites of proteins for direct and reverse reactions were calculated. 相似文献

The complete time course of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate catalyzed by the low molecular weight (acid) phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase from bovine heart was elucidated and analyzed in detail. Burst titration kinetics were demonstrated for the first time with this class of enzyme. At pH 7.0, 4.5 degrees C, a transient pre-steady-state "burst" of p-nitrophenol was formed with a rate constant of 48 s-1. The burst was effectively stoichiometric and corresponded to a single enzyme active site/molecule. The burst was followed by a slow steady-state turnover of the phosphoenzyme intermediate with a rate constant of 1.2 s-1. Product inhibition studies indicated an ordered uni-bi kinetic scheme for the hydrolysis. Partition experiments conducted for several substrates revealed a constant product ratio. Vmax was constant for these substrates, and the overall rate of hydrolysis was increased greatly in the presence of alcohol acceptors. An enzyme-catalyzed 18O exchange between inorganic phosphate and water was detected and occurred with kcat = 4.47 x 10(-3) s-1 at pH 5.0, 37 degrees C. These results were all consistent with the existence of a phosphoenzyme intermediate in the catalytic pathway and with the breakdown of the intermediate being the rate-limiting step. The true Michaelis binding constant Ks = 6.0 mM, the apparent Km = 0.38 mM, and the rate constants for phosphorylation (k2 = 540 s-1) and dephosphorylation (k3 = 36.5 s-1) were determined under steady-state conditions with p-nitrophenyl phosphate at pH 5.0 and 37 degrees C in the presence of phosphate acceptors. The energies of activation for the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis at pH 5.0 and 7.0 were 13.6 and 14.1 kcal/mol, respectively. The activation energy for the enzyme-catalyzed medium 18O exchange between phosphate and water was 20.2 kcal/mol. Using the available equilibrium and rate constants, an energetic diagram was constructed for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. 相似文献

A study of the kinetics and mechanism of rabbit muscle l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
1. The kinetics of oxidation of l-glycerol 3-phosphate by NAD(+) and of reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate by NADH catalysed by rabbit muscle glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase were studied over the range pH6-9. 2. The enzyme was found to catalyse the oxidation of glyoxylate by NAD(+) at pH8.0 and the kinetics of this reaction were also studied. 3. The results are consistent with a compulsory mechanism of catalysis for glycerol 3-phosphate oxidation and dihydroxyacetone phosphate reduction in the intermediate regions of pH, but modifications to the basic mechanism are required to fully explain results at the extremes of the pH range, with these substrates and for glyoxylate oxidation at pH8.0. 相似文献

The pre-steady-state ATPase activity of nitrogenase has been reinvestigated. The exceptionally high burst in the hydrolysis of MgATP by the nitrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii communicated by Cordewener et al. (1987) [Cordewener J., ten Asbroek A., Wassink H., Eady R. R., Haaker H. & Veeger C. (1987) Eur. J. Biochem. 162, 265-270] was found to be caused by an apparatus artefact. A second possible artefact in the determination of the stoichiometry of the pre-steady-state ATPase activity of nitrogenase was observed. Acid-quenched mixtures of dithionite-reduced MoFe or Fe protein of Azotobacter vinelandii nitrogenase and MgATP contained phosphate above the background level. It is proposed that due to this reaction, quenched reaction mixtures of nitrogenase and MgATP may contain phosphate in addition to the phosphate released by the ATPase activity of the nitrogenase complex. It was feasible to monitor MgATP-dependent pre-steady-state proton production by the absorbance change at 572 nm of the pH indicator o-cresolsulfonaphthalein in a weakly buffered solution. At 5.6 degrees C, a pre-steady-state phase of H+ production was observed, with a first-order rate constant of 2.2 s-1, whereas electron transfer occurred with a first-order rate constant of 4.9 s-1. At 20.0 degrees C, MgATP-dependent H+ production and electron transfer in the pre-steady-state phase were characterized by observed rate constants of 9.4 s-1 and 104 s-1, respectively. The stopped-flow technique failed to detect a burst in the release of protons by the dye-oxidized nitrogenase complex. It is concluded that the hydrolysis rate of MgATP, as judged by proton release, is lower than the rate of electron transfer from the Fe protein to the MoFe protein. 相似文献

Kinetic parameters for triosephosphate isomerase catalysis of the elimination reaction of an equilibrium mixture of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (DGAP) to form methylglyoxal and phosphate ion are reported for the enzyme from rabbit muscle. Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the disappearance of substrate (kelim) were determined for reactions at [Enzyme] much greater than [Substrate]. The second-order rate constant kEnz = 10.1 M-1 s-1 was determined from a plot of kelim against enzyme concentration. The kinetic parameters, determined from a steady-state kinetic analysis at [Substrate] much greater than [Enzyme], are kcat = 0.011 s-1, Km = 0.76 mM, and kcat/Km = 14 M-1 s-1. The estimated rate-constant ratio for partitioning of the enzyme-bound intermediate between protonation at carbon 2 and elimination, 1,000,000, is much larger than the ratio of 6.5 determined for the reaction of the enediolate phosphate in a loose complex with quinuclidinonium cation, a small buffer catalyst. There is a 10(5)-10(8)-fold decrease in the rate constant for the elimination reaction of the enediolate phosphate when this species binds to triosephosphate isomerase. The kinetic parameters for the elimination reaction catalyzed by the native triosephosphate isomerase and for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant form of the enzyme, which is missing a segment that forms hydrogen bonds with the phosphate group of substrate [Pompliano, D. L., Peyman, A., & Knowles, J. R. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 3186-3194] are similar.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

D-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate forms adducts with thiols. These adducts, which are presumed to be hemithioacetals, equilibrate rapidly with the unhydrated form of the aldehyde, which is the subtrate for D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The adduct provides a substrate buffer system whereby a constant low free aldehyde concentration can be maintained during the oxidation of aldehyde by the enzyme and NAD+. With this system, the kinetics of the association of the aldehyde with the enzyme were examined. The rate profile for this reaction is a single exponential process, showing that all four active sites of the enzyme have equivalent and independent reactivity towards the aldehyde, with an apparent second-order rate constant of 5 X 10(7)M-1-S-1 at pH8.0 and 21 degrees C. The second-order rate constant becomes 8 X 10(7)M-1-S-1 when account is taken of the forward and reverse catalytic rate constants of the dehydrogenase. The pH-dependence of the observed rate constant is consistent with a requirement for the unprotonated form of a group of pK 6.1, which is the pK observed for second ionization of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The rate of phosphorolysis of the acyl-enzyme intermediate during the steady-state oxidative phosphorylation of the aldehyde was studied, and is proportional to the total Pi concentration up to at least 1 mM-Pi at pH 7.5. The pH-dependence of the rate of NADH generation under these conditions can be explained by the rate law d[NADA]/dt = k[acy] holoenzyme][PO4(3-)-A1, where thioester bond, although kinetically indistinguishable rate equations for the reaction are possible. The rates of the phosphorolysis reaction and of the aldehyde-association reaction decrease with increasing ionic strength, suggesting that the active site of the enzyme has cationic groups which are involved in the reaction of the enzyme with anionic substrates. 相似文献

The formation and dissociation of the aldolase-dihydroxyacetone phosphate complex were studied by following changes in A240 [Topper, Mehler & Bloom (1957), Science 126, 1287-1289]. It was shown that the enzyme-substrate complex (ES) slowly isomerizes according to the following reaction: (formula: see text) the two first-order rate constants for the isomerization step being k+2 = 1.3s-1 and k-2 = 0.7s-1 at 20 degrees C and pH 7.5. The dissociation of the ES complex was provoked by the addition of the competitive inhibitor hexitol 1,6-bisphosphate. At 20 degrees C and pH 7.5, k+1 was 4.7 X 10(6)M-1-S-1 and k-1 was 30s-1. Both the ES and the ES* complexes react rapidly with 1.7 mM-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, the reaction being practically complete in 40 ms. This shows that the ES* complex is not a dead-end complex. Evidence was also provided that aldolase binds and utilizes only the keto form of dihydroxyacetone phosphate. 相似文献

Elementary reactions have been studied quantitatively in the complex overall process catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase whereby isobutyraldehyde and molecular oxygen react to form triplet state acetone and formic acid. The rate constant for the reaction of the enol form of isobutyraldehyde with compound I of peroxidase is (8 +/- 1) X 10(6) M-1 s-1 and with compound II (1.3 +/- 0.3) X 10(6) M-1 s-1. Neither the enolate anion nor the keto form is reactive. The reactivity of enols with peroxidase parallels that of unionized phenols and a common mechanism is proposed. The overall catalyzed reaction of isobutyraldehyde and oxygen consists of an initial burst followed by a steady state phase. The burst is caused by the following sequence: 1) an initial high yield of compound I is formed from reaction of native enzyme with the autoxidation product of isobutyraldehyde, a peracid and 2) compound I rapidly depletes the equilibrium pool of enol which is present. After this burst a steady state phase is observed in which the rate-limiting step is the conversion of the keto to the enol form of the aldehyde catalyzed by phosphate buffer. The rate constant for the keto form reacting with phosphate is (8.7 +/- 0.6) X 10(-5) M-1 s-1. All constants were measured in dilute aqueous ethanol at 35 degrees C, pH 7.4, and ionic strength 0.67 M. Both the initial burst of light and the steady state emission from triplet acetone can be observed with the naked eye. Since the magnitude of the burst is a measure of the equilibrium amount of enol, the keto-enol equilibrium constant is readily calculated and hence also the rate constant for conversion of enol to keto. The keto-enol equilibrium constant is unaffected by phosphate which therefore acts as a true catalyst. 相似文献

Chitose-6-P (2,5-anhydromannose-6-P) induces ATPase activity of fructose-6-P kinase with a Vmax 2-3% that of the normal kinase reaction with fructose-6-P or 2,5-anhydromannitol. Chitose (and presumably also chitose-6-P) is 52% hydrated in water while chitose deuterated at C-1 is 60% hydrated because of the equilibrium isotope effect of 0.73 on aldehyde hydration. Deuterated chitose-6-P gave a normal isotope effect on V/K of 1.23, but no effect on Vmax, showing that the free aldehyde is the activator and the hydrated form does not bind appreciably. With fructokinase, chitose can act either as a substrate, being phosphorylated at C-6 when adsorbed with C-6 next to MgATP, or as an inducer of ATPase activity when adsorbed with C-1 next to MgATP. The ATPase has a rate about 25% that of the kinase. 相似文献

A comparative kinetic study of extracellular catalases produced by Penicillium piceum F-648 and their variants adapted to H2O2 was performed in culture liquid filtrates. The specific activity of catalase, the maximum rate of catalase-induced H2O2 degradation (Vmax),Vmax/KM ratio, and the catalase inactivation rate constant in the enzymatic reaction (kin, s-1) were estimated in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 30 degrees C. The effective constant representing the rate of catalase thermal inactivation (kin*, s-1) was determined at 45 degrees C. In all samples, the specific activity and KM for catalase were maximum at a protein concentration in culture liquid filtrates of 2.5-3.5 x 10(-4) mg/ml. The effective constants describing the rate of H2O2 degradation (k, s-1) were similar to that observed in the initial culture. These values reflected a twofold decrease in catalase activity in culture liquid filtrates. We hypothesized that culture liquid filtrates contain two isoforms of extracellular catalase characterized by different activities and affinities for H2O2. Catalases from variants 5 and 3 with high and low affinities for H2O2, respectively, had a greater operational stability than the enzyme from the initial culture. The method of adaptive selection for H2O2 can be used to obtain fungal variants producing extracellular catalases with improved properties. 相似文献

Transient kinetic studies of Mg(2+)-dependent heavy-meromyosin ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) were done by monitoring the release of both ADP and P(i) into the reaction medium by using linked assay systems. The release of P(i) was monitored by its quantitative transfer to ADP, with concomitant reduction of NAD(+) in the presence of d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase. The dissociation rates of the products, ADP and P(i), from heavy meromyosin were shown to be faster than the rate-controlling process, which occurs after the initial bond cleavage of ATP. The chromophoric ATP analogue, 6-mercapto-9-beta-d-ribofuranosylpurine 5'-triphosphate (thioATP) was used as a substrate and spectral changes associated with a single turnover of heavy meromyosin could be assigned to elementary processes of the mechanism. It was shown that the dissociation rate of thioADP was not the rate-controlling process of the thioATPase, whose catalytic-centre activity was 7.6 times that of the ATPase at pH8. The dissociation rate of ADP from heavy meromyosin was measured by using thioATP as displacing agent and was found to be 2.3s(-1), which is about 50 times the catalytic-centre activity of the ATPase at pH8. Transient kinetic studies with chromophoric adenosine phosphate analogues have general application for kinases and ATPases both in characterizing the chemical states of the intermediates and in delineating the elementary processes of the enzyme mechanism. 相似文献

Rate of ATP synthesis by dynein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The rates of ATP synthesis and release by the dynein ATPase were determined in order to estimate thermodynamic parameters according to the pathway: (Formula: see text). Dynein was incubated with high concentrations of ADP and Pi to drive the net synthesis of ATP, and the rate of ATP production was monitored fluorometrically by production of NADPH through a coupled assay using hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The turnover number for the rate of release of ATP from 22S dynein was 0.01 s-1 per site at pH 7.0, 28 degrees C, assuming a molecular weight of 750 000 per site. The same method gave a rate of ATP synthesis by myosin subfragment 1 of 3.4 X 10(-4) s-1 at pH 7.0, 28 degrees C. The rate of ATP synthesis at the active site was estimated from the time dependence of medium phosphate-water oxygen exchange. Dynein was incubated with ADP and [18O] Pi, and the rate of loss of the labeled oxygen to water was monitored by 31P NMR. A partition coefficient of 0.31 was determined, which is equal to k-2/(k-2 + k3). Assuming k3 = 8 s-1 [Johnson, K.A. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 13825-13832], k-2 = 3.5 s-1. From the rates of ATP binding and hydrolysis measured previously (Johnson, 1983), the equilibrium constants for ATP binding and hydrolysis could be calculated: K1 = 5 X 10(7) M-1 and K2 = 14.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Oxygen activation catalyzed by methane monooxygenase hydroxylase component: proton delivery during the O-O bond cleavage steps 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of solvent pH and deuteration on the transient kinetics of the key intermediates of the dioxygen activation process catalyzed by the soluble form of methane monooxygenase (MMO) isolated from Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b have been studied. MMO consists of hydroxylase (MMOH), reductase, and "B" (MMOB) components. MMOH contains a carboxylate- and oxygen-bridged binuclear iron cluster that catalyzes O2 activation and insertion chemistry. The diferrous MMOH-MMOB complex reacts with O2 to form a diferrous intermediate compound O (O) and subsequently a diferric intermediate compound P (P), presumed to be a peroxy adduct. The O decay reaction was found to be pH-independent within error at 4 degrees C (kobs = 22 +/- 2 s-1 at pH 7.7; kobs = 26 +/- 2 s-1 at pH 7.0). In contrast, the P formation rate was found to decrease sharply with increasing pH to near zero at pH 8.6; the observed rate constants fit to a single deprotonation event with a pKa = 7.6 and a maximal formation rate at 4 degrees C of kP = 9.1 +/- 0.9 s-1 achieved near pH 6.5. The formation of P was slower than the disappearance of O, indicating that at least one other undetected intermediate (P) must form in between. P decays spontaneously to the highly chromophoric intermediate, compound Q (Q). The decay rate of P matched the formation rate of Q, and both rates decreased sharply with increasing pH to near zero at pH 8.6; the observed rate constants fit to a single deprotonation event with a pKa = 7.6 and a maximal formation rate at 4 degrees C of kQ = 2.6 +/- 0.1 s-1 achieved near pH 6.5. No pH dependence was observed for the decay of Q. The formation and decay rates of P and the formation rate of Q decreased linearly with mole fraction of D2O in the reaction mixture. Kinetic solvent isotope effect values of kH/kD = 1.3 +/- 0.1 (P formation) and kH/kD = 1.4 +/- 0.1 (P decay and Q formation) were observed at 5 degrees C. The linearity of the proton inventory plots suggests that only a single proton is transferred in the transition state of the formation reaction for each intermediate. If these protons are transferred to the bound oxygen molecule, as formally required by the reaction stoichiometry, the data are consistent with a model in which water is formed concurrently with the formation of the reactive bis mu-oxo-binuclear Fe(IV) species, Q. 相似文献

Acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde are substrates for alcohol dehydrogenase in the production of ethanol and 1-butanol by solvent-producing clostridia. A coenzyme A (CoA)-acylating aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which also converts acyl-CoA to aldehyde and CoA, has been purified under anaerobic conditions from Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B592. The ALDH showed a native molecular weight (Mr) of 100,000 and a subunit Mr of 55,000, suggesting that ALDH is dimeric. Purified ALDH contained no alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Activities measured with acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde as alternative substrates were copurified, indicating that the same ALDH can catalyze the formation of both aldehydes for ethanol and butanol production. Based on the Km and Vmax values for acetyl-CoA and butyryl-CoA, ALDH was more effective for the production of butyraldehyde than for acetaldehyde. ALDH could use either NAD(H) or NADP(H) as the coenzyme, but the Km for NAD(H) was much lower than that for NADP(H). Kinetic data suggest a ping-pong mechanism for the reaction. ALDH was more stable in Tris buffer than in phosphate buffer. The apparent optimum pH was between 6.5 and 7 for the forward reaction (the physiological direction; aldehyde forming), and it was 9.5 or higher for the reverse reaction (acyl-CoA forming). The ratio of NAD(H)/NADP(H)-linked activities increased with decreasing pH. ALDH was O2 sensitive, but it could be protected against O2 inactivation by dithiothreitol. The O2-inactivated enzyme could be reactivated by incubating the enzyme with CoA in the presence or absence of dithiothreitol prior to assay. 相似文献

The sugar phosphate specificity of rat hepatic 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The sugar phosphate specificity of the active site of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and of the inhibitory site of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was investigated. The Michaelis constants and relative Vmax values of the sugar phosphates for the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase were: D-fructose 6-phosphate, Km = 0.035 mM, Vmax = 1; L-sorbose 6-phosphate, Km = 0.175 mM, Vmax = 1.1; D-tagatose 6-phosphate, Km = 15 mM, Vmax = 0.15; and D-psicose 6-phosphate, Km = 7.4 mM, Vmax = 0.42. The enzyme did not catalyze the phosphorylation of 1-O-methyl-D-fructose 6-phosphate, alpha- and beta-methyl-D-fructofuranoside 6-phosphate, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 6-phosphate, D-ribose 5-phosphate, or D-arabinose 5-phosphate. These results indicate that the hydroxyl group at C-3 of the tetrahydrofuran ring must be cis to the beta-anomeric hydroxyl group and that the hydroxyl group at C-4 must be trans. The presence of a hydroxymethyl group at C-2 is required; however, the orientation of the phosphonoxymethyl group at C-5 has little effect on activity. Of all the sugar monophosphates tested, only 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 6-phosphate was an effective inhibitor of the kinase with a Ki = 95 microM. The sugar phosphate specificity for the inhibition of the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was similar to the substrate specificity for the kinase. The apparent I0.5 values for inhibition were: D-fructose 6-phosphate, 0.01 mM; L-sorbose 6-phosphate, 0.05 mM; D-psicose 6-phosphate, 1 mM; D-tagatose 6-phosphate, greater than 2 mM; 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 6-phosphate, 0.5 mM. 1-O-Methyl-D-fructose 6-phosphate, alpha- and beta-methyl-D-fructofuranoside 6-phosphate, and D-arabinose 5-phosphate did not inhibit. Treatment of the enzyme with iodoacetamide decreased sugar phosphate affinity in the kinase reaction but had no effect on the sensitivity of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase to sugar phosphate inhibition. The results suggest a high degree of homology between two separate sugar phosphate binding sites for the bifunctional enzyme. 相似文献

We have utilized a commercially available, computer-driven stopped-flow spectrophotometer to rapidly measure the self-dismutation or catalyzed decay of superoxide in aqueous buffers. In the self-dismutation assay, a dimethyl sulfoxide solution of superoxide is mixed in less than 2 ms with an aqueous buffer. The decay of superoxide is monitored directly by its absorbance at 245 nm and the data is processed by computer. By careful purification of the water and the use of metal-free buffers, a decay of superoxide that fits second-order kinetics is obtained without using metal ion chelators in the buffer. The second-order rate constant for superoxide decreased with increasing pH and decreased by a factor of 3.3 by using D2O in place of H2O in the buffer. The rapid mixing time makes it possible to determine rate constants for active superoxide dismutase catalysts at a pH as low as 7. A first-order decay of superoxide is obtained when the aqueous buffer contains bovine Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase or aquo copper(II), which are known catalysts of superoxide dismutation. The rate of superoxide decay was established to be first-order in catalyst. The catalytic rate constant for bovine Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase was determined to be 2.3 x 10(9) M-1 s-1 in H2O and D2O-based buffers and was independent of pH over the range 7-9. Aquo copper(II) gave a catalytic rate constant of 1.2 x 10(8) M-1 s-1, but was ineffective in the presence of EDTA. The catalytic rate constants obtained by stopped-flow kinetics are in excellent agreement with studies carried out by the direct method of pulse radiolysis. 相似文献

N10-Formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase from bacteria and yeast catalyzes a slow formate-dependent ADP formation in the absence of H4folate. The synthesis of formyl phosphate by the enzyme was detected by trapping the intermediate as formyl hydroxamate. That the "formate kinase" activity was part of the catalytic center of N10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase was shown by demonstrating coordinate inactivation of the "kinase" and synthetase activities by heat and a sulfhydryl reagent, similar effects of monovalent cations, similar Km values for substrates, and similar Ki values for the inhibitor phosphonoacetaldehyde for both activities. The relative rates of the kinase activities for the bacterial and yeast enzymes are about 10(-4) and 4 x 10(-6) of their respective synthetase activities. These slow rates for the kinase reaction can be explained by the slow dissociation of ADP and formyl phosphate from the enzyme. This conclusion is supported by rapid-quench studies where a "burst" of ADP formation (6.4 s-1) was observed that is considerably faster than the steady-state rate (0.024 s-1). The demonstration of enzyme-bound products by a micropartition assay and the lack of a significant formate-stimulated exchange between ADP and ATP provide further evidence for the slow release of the products from the enzyme. The synthesis of N10-CHO-H4folate when H4folate was added to the E-formyl phosphate-ADP complex is also characterized by a "burst" of product formation. The rate of this burst phase at 5 degrees C occurs with a rate constant of 18 s-1 compared to 14 s-1 for the overall reaction at the same temperature. These results provide further evidence for formyl phosphate as an intermediate in the reaction and are consistent with the sequential mechanism of the normal catalytic pathway. Positional isotope exchange experiments using [beta,gamma-18O]ATP showed no evidence for exchange during turnover experiments in the presence of either H4folate or the competitive inhibitor pteroyltriglutamate. The absence of scrambling of the 18O label as observed by 31P NMR suggests that the central complex may impose restraints to limit free rotation of the P beta oxygens of the product ADP. 相似文献

Acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde are substrates for alcohol dehydrogenase in the production of ethanol and 1-butanol by solvent-producing clostridia. A coenzyme A (CoA)-acylating aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which also converts acyl-CoA to aldehyde and CoA, has been purified under anaerobic conditions from Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B592. The ALDH showed a native molecular weight (Mr) of 100,000 and a subunit Mr of 55,000, suggesting that ALDH is dimeric. Purified ALDH contained no alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Activities measured with acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde as alternative substrates were copurified, indicating that the same ALDH can catalyze the formation of both aldehydes for ethanol and butanol production. Based on the Km and Vmax values for acetyl-CoA and butyryl-CoA, ALDH was more effective for the production of butyraldehyde than for acetaldehyde. ALDH could use either NAD(H) or NADP(H) as the coenzyme, but the Km for NAD(H) was much lower than that for NADP(H). Kinetic data suggest a ping-pong mechanism for the reaction. ALDH was more stable in Tris buffer than in phosphate buffer. The apparent optimum pH was between 6.5 and 7 for the forward reaction (the physiological direction; aldehyde forming), and it was 9.5 or higher for the reverse reaction (acyl-CoA forming). The ratio of NAD(H)/NADP(H)-linked activities increased with decreasing pH. ALDH was O2 sensitive, but it could be protected against O2 inactivation by dithiothreitol. The O2-inactivated enzyme could be reactivated by incubating the enzyme with CoA in the presence or absence of dithiothreitol prior to assay. 相似文献

Ribose 1-phosphate, phosphate, and acyclovir diphosphate quenched the fluorescence of purine nucleoside phosphorylase at pH 7.1 and 25 degrees C. The fluorescence of enzyme-bound guanine was similar to that of anionic guanine in ethanol. Guanine and ribose 1-phosphate bound to free enzyme, whereas inosine and guanosine were not bound to free enzyme in the absence of phosphate. Thus, synthesis proceeded by a random mechanism, and phosphorolysis proceeded by an ordered mechanism. Steady-state kinetic data for the phosphorolysis of 100 microM guanosine were fitted to a bifunctional kinetic model with catalytic rate constants of 22 and 1.3 s-1. The dissociation rate constants for guanine from the enzyme-guanine complex at high and low phosphate concentrations were similar to the catalytic rate constants. Fluorescence changes of the enzyme during phosphorolysis suggested that ribose 1-phosphate dissociated from the enzyme ribose 1-phosphate-guanine complex rapidly and that guanine dissociated from the enzyme-guanine complex slowly. The association and dissociation rate constants for acyclovir diphosphate, a potent inhibitor of the enzyme (Tuttle, J. V., and Krenitsky, T. A. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 4065-4069), were also dependent on phosphate concentration. The effects of phosphate are discussed in terms of a dual functional binding site for phosphate. 相似文献
