Rat liver S-adenosylhomocysteinase (EC 3.3.1.1) is inactivated by phenylglyoxal following pseudo-first order kinetics. The dependence of the apparent first order rate constant for inactivation on the phenylglyoxal concentration shows that the inactivation is second order in reagent. This fact together with the reversibility of inactivation upon removal of excess reagent and the lack of reaction at residues other than arginine as revealed by amino acid analysis and incorporation of phenylglyoxal into the protein indicate that the inactivation is due to the modification of arginine residue. The substrate adenosine largely but not completely protects the enzyme against inactivation. Although the modification of two arginine residues/subunit is required for complete inactivation, the relationship between loss of enzyme activity and the number of arginine residues modified, and the comparison of the numbers of phenylglyoxal incorporated into the enzyme in the presence and absence of adenosine indicate that one residue which reacts very rapidly with the reagent compared with the other is critical for activity. Although the phenylglyoxal treatment does not result in alteration of the molecular size of the enzyme or dissociation of the bound NAD+, the intrinsic protein fluorescence is largely lost upon modification. The equilibrium binding study shows that the modified enzyme apparently fails to bind adenosine.  相似文献

Human liver arylsulfatase A was treated with arginine-specific reagents (diones), resulting in a loss of enzyme activitity with apparent first-order kinetics. Sulfite and borate—competitive inhibitors of the enzyme—provided complete protection from inactivation by phenylglyoxal. Sulfite and substrate each likewise protected against enzyme inactivation by 2,3-butanedione. A plot of pseudo-first-order rate constants of enzyme inactivation versus 2,3-butanedione concentrations suggests that an essential arginine residue is modified with a loss in function of the binding site or of the active site of the protein. Chemical analysis of the butanedione-treated sulfatase indicates that complete enzyme inactivation corresponds to a modification of only about 2 of the 20 arginine residues per enzyme subunit. Taken together, all of the results strongly suggest that arginine residues are essential for the activity of arylsulfatase A. An incidental discovery in this work is that borate ion is a competitive inhibitor of human arylsulfatase A with a Ki of 2.5 × 10?4 M.  相似文献

Rat liver ATP citrate lyase was inactivated by 2, 3-butanedione and phenylglyoxal. Phenylglyoxal caused the most rapid and complete inactivation of enzyme activity in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulphonic acid buffer, pH 8. Inactivation by both butanedione and phenylglyoxal was concentration-dependent and followed pseudo- first-order kinetics. Phenylglyoxal also decreased autophosphorylation (catalytic phosphate) of ATP citrate lyase. Inactivation by phenylglyoxal and butanedione was due to the modification of enzyme arginine residues: the modified enzyme failed to bind to CoA-agarose. The V declined as a function of inactivation, but the Km values were unaltered. The substrates, CoASH and CoASH plus citrate, protected the enzyme significantly against inactivation, but ATP provided little protection. Inactivation with excess reagent modified about eight arginine residues per monomer of enzyme. Citrate, CoASH and ATP protected two to three arginine residues from modification by phenylglyoxal. Analysis of the data by statistical methods suggested that the inactivation was due to modification of one essential arginine residue per monomer of lyase, which was modified 1.5 times more rapidly than were the other arginine residues. Our results suggest that this essential arginine residue is at the CoASH binding site.  相似文献

Reaction of dihydrofolate reductase from amethopterin-resistant Lactobacilluscasei with phenylglyoxal results in a complete loss of enzyme activity. This inactivation is concomitant with the modification of five of a total of eight arginine residues per mole of enzyme. In the presence of the reduced coenzyme, NADPH, two of the five reactive arginines are protected from chemical modification with complete retention of enzyme activity. The results suggest the involvement of essential arginine residues at or near the coenzyme binding site and thus at or near the active center of the enzyme.  相似文献

D-amino acid oxidase, a peroxisomal enzyme, and D-aspartate oxidase, a potential peroxisomal enzyme, share biochemical attributes. Both produce hydrogen peroxide in flavin-requiring oxidative reactions. Such similarities suggest that D-aspartate oxidase may also be localized to peroxisomes. Definitive identification of D-aspartate oxidase as a peroxisomal enzyme depends, however, on visualization at the electron microscopic level. Using incubation conditions shown to be specific for the enzyme in biochemical studies, this report extends the cytochemical localization of D-amino acid oxidase to bovine renal peroxisomes, and shows that D-aspartate can be oxidized by rat and bovine renal peroxisomes. An unexpected finding was the sensitivity of both D-amino acid oxidase activity (proline specific) and D-aspartate oxidase activity to inhibition by agents used in biochemical studies to discriminate between the two enzyme activities. Therefore, it is possible that, in the cytochemical system used in this study, (a) either D-proline and D-aspartate are substrates for only one enzyme or (b) the two enzymes have additional overlapping biochemical properties.  相似文献

The kinetics of chemical modification of arginine residues in mitochondrial creatine kinase (mit-CK) from beef heart by 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylglyoxal (HNPG) have been studied with simultaneous registration of enzyme inactivation. Experiments showed that complete inactivation of mit-CK corresponded to modification of two arginine residues per mit-CK monomer. The data on the modification kinetics can be described by the sum of two exponential terms and suggest strong negative cooperativity in the binding of HNPG to arginine residues. The rate constants for the fast and slow phases of modification differ by a factor of about 50. The corresponding rate constants for inactivation differ by a factor of about 30. The rate constant for the slow stage of inactivation is twice as large as that for the rate constant for the slow stage of modification, i.e., the inactivation process is ahead of the modification process.  相似文献

1. D-amino acid oxidase is inactivated by reaction with a low molar excess of dansyl chloride at pH 6.6, with complete inactivation accompanied by incorporation of 1.7 dansyl residues per mol of enzyme-bound flavin. The presence of benzoate, a potent competitive inhibitor, protects substantially against inactivation. Evidence is presented that the inactivation is due to dansylation of an active site histidine residue. Reactivation may be obtained by incubation with hydroxylamine. Diethylpyrocarbonate also inactivates the enzyme and modifies the labeling pattern with dansyl chloride. 2. Butanedione in the presence of borate reacts rapidly to inactivate D-amino acid oxidase. Reactivation is obtained spontaneously on removal of borate, implicating reaction of butanedione with an active site arginine residue. 3. Fluorodinitrobenzene appears to behave as an active site-directed reagent when mixed with D-amino acid oxidase at pH 7.4. Complete inactivation is obtained with incorporation of 2.0 dinitrophenyl residues per mol of enzyme-bound flavin. Again benzoate protects against inactivation; only one dinitrophenyl residue is incorporated in the presence of benzoate. The active site residue attacked by fluorodinitrobenzene has been identified as tyrosine.  相似文献

The pH-dependent kinetics of lysyl oxidase catalysis was examined for evidence of an ionizable enzyme residue which might function as a general base catalyzing proton abstraction previously shown to be a component of the mechanism of substrate processing by this enzyme. Plots of log Vmax/Km for the oxidation of n-hexylamine versus pH yielded pKa values of 7.0 +/- 0.1 and 10.4 +/- 0.1. The higher pKa varied with different substrates, reflecting ionization of the substrate amino group. A van't Hoff plot of the temperature dependence of the lower pKa yielded a value of 6.1 kcal mol-1 for the enthalpy of ionization. This value as well as the pKa of 7.0 are consistent with those of histidine residues previously implicated as general base catalysts in enzymes. Incubation of lysyl oxidase with low concentrations of diethyl pyrocarbonate, a histidine-selective reagent, at 22 degrees C and pH 7.0 irreversibly inhibited enzyme activity by a pseudo first-order kinetic process. The inactivation of lysyl oxidase correlated with spectral and pH-dependent kinetic evidence for the chemical modification of 1 histidine residue/mol of enzyme, the pKa of which was 6.9 +/- 0.1, within experimental error of that seen in the plot of log Vmax/Km versus pH. Enzyme activity was restored by incubation of the modified enzyme with hydroxylamine, consistent with the ability of this nucleophile to displace the carbethoxy group from N-carbethoxyhistidine. The presence of the n-hexylamine substrate largely protected against enzyme inactivation by diethyl pyrocarbonate. These results thus indicate a functional role for histidine in lysyl oxidase catalysis consistent with that of a general base in proton abstraction.  相似文献

2-oxo-3-pentynoate has been characterized as an active-site-directed inhibitor of selected flavoprotein oxidases. Tryptophan 2-monooxygenase is irreversibly inactivated in an active-site-directed fashion. The addition of FAD affords no protection from inactivation, whereas the competitive inhibitor indole-3-acetamide fully protects the enzyme from inactivation. The inactivation follows first-order kinetics for at least five half-lives. The rate of inactivation shows saturation kinetics, consistent with the formation of a reversible complex between the alkylating agent and the enzyme before inactivation occurs. Values of 0.017 +/- 0.0005 min-1 and 44 +/- 7 microM were determined for the limiting rate of inactivation and the apparent dissociation constant for 2-oxo-3-pentynoate, respectively. Tryptic maps of tryptophan 2-monooxygenase treated with 2-oxo-3-pentynoate show that two peptides are alkylated in the absence of indole-3-acetamide but not in its presence. The two peptides were identified by mass spectrometry as residues 333-349 and 503-536. Based upon sequence analysis, cysteine 511 and either cysteine 339 or histidine 338 are the likely sites of modification. In contrast, incubation of D-amino acid oxidase or nitroalkane oxidase with 2-oxo-3-pentynoate results in a loss of 55% or 100%, respectively, of the initial activity. In neither case does a competitive inhibitor affect the rate of inactivation, suggesting that the effect is not due to modification of active-site residues.  相似文献

Incubation of homogeneous preparations of L-threonine dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli with 2,3-butanedione, 2,3-pentanedione, phenylglyoxal, or 1,2-cyclohexanedione causes a time- and concentration-dependent loss of enzymatic activity; plots of log percent activity remaining versus time are linear to greater than 90% inactivation, indicative of pseudo-first order inactivation kinetics. The reaction order with respect to the concentration of modifying reagent is approximately 1.0 in each case suggesting that the loss of catalytic activity is due to one molecule of modifier reacting with each active unit of enzyme. Controls establish that this inactivation is not due to modifier-induced dissociation or photoinduced nonspecific alteration of the dehydrogenase. Essentially the same Km but decreased Vmax values are obtained when partially inactivated enzyme is compared with native. NADH (25 mM) and NAD+ (70 mM) give full protection against inactivation whereas much higher concentrations (i.e. 150 mM) of L-threonine or L-threonine amide provide a maximum of 80-85% protection. Amino acid analyses coupled with quantitative sulfhydryl group determinations show that enzyme inactivated 95% by 2,3-butanedione loses 7.5 arginine residues (out of 16 total)/enzyme subunit with no significant change in other amino acid residues. In contrast, only 2.4 arginine residues/subunit are modified in the presence of 80 mM NAD+. Analysis of the course of modification and inactivation by the statistical method of Tsou (Tsou, C.-L. (1962) Sci. Sin. 11, 1535-1558) demonstrates that inactivation of threonine dehydrogenase correlates with the loss of 1 "essential" arginine residue/subunit which quite likely is located in the NAD+/NADH binding site.  相似文献

Reaction of phenylglyoxal with aspartate transcarbamylase and its isolated catalytic subunit results in complete loss of enzymatic activity. This modification reaction is markedly influenced by pH and is partially reversible upon dialysis. Carbamyl phosphate or carbamyl phosphate with succinate partially protect the catalytic subunit and the native enzyme from inactivation by phenylglyoxal. In the native enzyme complete protection from inactivation is afforded by N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate. The decrease in enzymatic activity correlates with the modification of 6 arginine residues on each aspartate transcarbamylase molecule, i.e. 1 arginine per catalytic site. The data suggest that the essential arginine is involved in the binding of carbamyl phosphate to the enzyme. Reaction of the single thiol on the catalytic chain with 2-chloromercuri-4-nitrophenol does not prevent subsequent reaction with phenylglyoxal. If N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate is used to protect the active site we find that phenylglyoxal also causes the loss of activation of ATP and inhibition by CTP. The rate of loss of heterotropic effects is exactly the same for both nucleotides indicating that the two opposite regulatory effects originate at the same location on the enzyme, or are transmitted by the same mechanism between the subunits, or both.  相似文献

Sheep liver 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase was subjected to specific chemical modification with phenylglyoxal, diethyl pyrocarbonate and N-bromosuccinimide. The second-order rate constants for inactivation were calculated to be 54 M-1 X min-1, 103 M-1 X min-1 and 154 M-1 X min-1 respectively. This inactivation could be prevented by incubation with substrates or products, suggesting that the residues modified, namely arginine, histidine and tryptophan, are essential for enzyme activity.  相似文献

Two arginine modifying reagents, phenylglyoxal and 2,3-butanedione, inactivated fatty acid synthetase from goose uropygial gland. This inactivation could be partially prevented by NADP, 2′-AMP, and 2′,5′-ADP, whereas acetyl-CoA and/or malonyl-CoA provided very little protection. Ketoacyl reductase and enoyl reductase activities of fatty acid synthetase showed similar inactivation by phenylglyoxal and butanedione and protection by only NADP and its 2′-phosphate-containing analogs. Furthermore, 2′-AMP was found to be a competitive inhibitor of overall fatty acid synthetase, ketoacyl reductase, and enoyl reductase with apparent Ki values of 1.4, 0.2, and 14 mm, respectively. These results suggest that binding of NADPH to fatty acid synthetase involves specific interaction of the 2′-phosphate with the guanidino group of arginine residues at the active site of the two reductases. Quantitation of the number of arginine residues modified revealed that 4 out of 106 arginine residues per subunit of the synthetase showed high reactivity toward phenylglyoxal. Scatchard analysis showed that two rapidly reacting arginine residues had no effect on the catalytic activity, while modification of two additional arginine residues resulted in complete loss of enzyme activity. Under these conditions, of the seven partial reactions of fatty acid synthetase, only the ketoacyl reductase and enoyl reductase activities were inhibited by phenylglyoxal. The differential reversal of inhibition of the two reductases and the overall activity of fatty acid synthetase, resulting from dialysis of the modified enzyme, suggested that both ketoacyl reductase sites and enoyl reductase sites are required for the full expression of fatty acid synthetase activity. The results of the present chemical modification studies are consistent with the hypothesis that each subunit of fatty acid synthetase contains one ketoacyl reductase and one enoyl reductase and suggest that one essential arginine is present at each of these active sites.  相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase from Megalobatrachus japonicus was inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEP). The inactivation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a second-order rate constant of 176 M(-1) x min(-1) at pH 6.2 and 25 degrees C. The loss of enzyme activity was accompanied with an increase in absorbance at 242 nm and the inactivated enzyme was re-activated by hydroxylamine, indicating the modification of histidine residues. This conclusion was also confirmed by the pH profiles of inactivation, which showed the involvement of a residue with pK(a) of 6.6. The presence of glycerol 3-phosphate, AMP and phosphate protected the enzyme against inactivation. The results revealed that the histidine residues modified by DEP were located at the active site. Spectrophotometric quantification of modified residues showed that modification of two histidine residues per active site led to complete inactivation, but kinetic stoichiometry indicated that one molecule of modifier reacted with one active site during inactivation, probably suggesting that two essential histidine residues per active site are necessary for complete activity whereas modification of a single histidine residue per active site is enough to result in inactivation.  相似文献

D-Amino acid oxidase is inactivated by reaction with 1,2-cyclohexanedione in borate buffer at pH 8.8. The reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. The present of benzoate, a substrate-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, protects substantially against inactivation. Partial reactivation could be obtained by removal of borate and its substitution with phosphate buffer. The reaction of 1,2-cyclohexanedione with the enzyme at different inhibitor concentrations appears to follow a saturation kinetics, indicating the formation of an intermediate complex between enzyme and inhibitor prior to the inactivation process. The partially inactivated enzyme shows the same apparent Km but a decreased V as compared to the native D-amino acid oxidase. Similarly, the inhibited enzyme fails to bind benzoate. Amino acid analysis of the 1,2-cyclohexanedione-treated enzyme at various times of inactivation shows no loss of amino acid residues except for arginines. Analysis of the reaction data by statistical methods indicates that three arginine residues react with the inhibitor at slightly different rates, and that one of them is essential for catalytic activity. The presence of benzoate, while it prevents the loss of activity, reduces by one the number of arginine residues hit by the reagent in the reaction of 1,2-cyclohexanedione with D-amino acid oxidase.  相似文献

The purified, lipid-reconstituted (Na+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from Acholeplasma laidlawii B was treated with a variety of reagents which specifically modify various amino acid residues on the enzyme. In all cases reaction of this enzyme with any of the reagents tested results in at least a partial inactivation of its activity. The modification of one reactive lysine by dinitrofluorobenzene, of one reactive arginine by phenylglyoxal, or of two tyrosine residues by 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole or fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine results in a complete inactivation of the enzyme. Partial inactivation of enzymatic activity with N-ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and Woodward's reagent K suggests an indirect involvement of sulfhydryl and carboxylic acid groups in the maintenance of enzymatic activity, although inhibition by these reagents may also be the result of nonspecific effects such as subunit crosslinking. These studies also show that all of the subunits of the ATPase can be labeled by aqueous-phase reagents directed at amino groups and phenolic groups, and provide evidence for a specific affinity labeling of the alpha subunit of the enzyme by a nucleotide analog directed at phenolic and/or sulfhydryl groups.  相似文献

Acylphosphatase (acylphosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.7) from porcine skeletal muscle is inactivated by phenylglyoxal following pseudo-first-order kinetics. The dependence of the apparent first-order rate constant for inactivation on the phenylglyoxal concentration shows that the inactivation is also first order with respect to the reagent concentration. Among the competitive inhibitors for the enzyme examined, inorganic phosphate and ATP almost completely, and Cl- partially, protect the enzyme against the inactivation. The dissociation constants for inorganic phosphate and ATP determined from protection experiments by these inhibitors agree well with those from inhibition experiments by them. These results support the idea that the modification occurs at the phosphate-binding site. The amino-acid analysis reveals the lack of reaction at residues other than arginine. Circular dichroism spectra of the modified enzymes show that the inactivation seems not to be due to denaturation of the enzyme resulting from the modification of the non-essential arginine residues. The relationship between the loss of the enzyme activity and the number of arginine residues modified in the presence and absence of ATP shows that one arginine residue is possibly responsible for the inactivation of acylphosphatase.  相似文献

Mammalian carbonic anhydrase III has previously been shown to catalyze the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in addition to possessing the conventional CO2 hydratase and p-nitrophenylacetate esterase activities. Modification of pig muscle carbonic anhydrase III with the arginine reagent phenylglyoxal yielded two clearly distinctive results. Reaction of the enzyme with phenylglyoxal at concentrations equivalent to those of the enzyme yielded stoichiometric inactivation titration of the enzyme's phosphatase activity, approaching 100% loss of activity with the simultaneous modification of one arginine residue, the latter based on a 1:1 reaction of phenylglyoxal with arginine. At this low ratio of phenylglyoxal to enzyme, neither the CO2 hydratase activity nor the acetate esterase activity was affected. When the modification was performed with a significant excess of phenylglyoxal, CO2 hydratase and acetate esterase activities were diminished as well. That loss of activity was accompanied by the incorporation of an additional half dozen phenylglyoxals and, presumably, the modification of an equal number of arginine residues. The data in their entirety are interpreted to show that the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity is a unique property of carbonic anhydrase III and that excessive amounts of the arginine-modifying reagent lead to unspecific structural changes of the enzyme as a result of which all of its enzymatic activities are inactivated.  相似文献

1. Myeloperoxidase is inhibited by various diketones that are recognized arginine reagents. 2. Although arginine residues in the enzyme were modified in both the light and the dark, enzyme inactivation occurred only in the presence of light. 3. Under conditions where diketones caused inactivation of myeloperoxidase, spectral studies indicated marked damage to the haem residues of the enzyme. 4. It was concluded that diketones serve simply as photosensitizers of visible light-induced inactivation of myeloperoxidase. 5. Studies on other haemoproteins indicated the great ease with which the presence of diketones sensitized haem residues for photodestruction.  相似文献

Butane-2,3-dione inactivates the aspartyl proteinases from Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium caseicolum, as well as pig pepsin, penicillopepsin and Rhizopus pepsin, at pH 6.0 in the presence of light but not in the dark. The inactivation is due to a photosensitized modification of tryptophan and tyrosine residues. In the dark none of the amino acid residues, not even arginine residues, is modified even after several days. In the light one arginine residue in pig pepsin is lost at a rate that is comparable with the rate of inactivation; however, the loss of the single arginine residue in the aspartyl proteinase of P. roqueforti and the second arginine residue of pig pepsin is slower than the loss of activity; penicillopepsin is devoid of arginine. Loss of most of the activity is accompanied by the following amino acid losses: P. roqueforti aspartyl proteinase, about two tryptophan and six tyrosine residues; penicillopepsin, about two tryptophan and three tyrosine residues; pig pepsin, about four tryptophan and most of the tyrosine residues. Modification of histidine residues was too slow to contribute to inactivation. None of the other residues, including half-cystine and methionine residues (when present), was modified even after prolonged incubation. The inactivation of P. roqueforti aspartyl proteinase and pig pepsin appears due to non-specific modification of several residues. With penicillopepsin, however, the reaction is more limited and initially affects only those tryptophan and tyrosine residues that lie in the active-site groove. In the presence of pepstatin the rate of inactivation is considerably diminished. After prolonged reaction a general structural breakdown occurs.  相似文献
