The quenching of tryptophanyl fluorescence of native and denatured D-amino acid oxidase from hog kidney was measured. About 60% of the tryptophanyl fluorescence of the native apoenzyme was quenched by iodide at pH 8.3, and 25 degrees C. All of the tryptophanyl fluorescence of the apoenzyme in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride was quenched. The tryptophanyl fluorescence quenching of the holoenzyme by 1-methyl nicotinamide chloride was low in comparison with that of the apoenzyme. These results of the quenching experiments are discussed based on the intermolecular collision quenching mechanism. By measuring the fluorescence intensities of the tryptophanyl residues and FAD of the holoenzyme solution, and the fluorescence polarization of the holoenzyme solution containing halide anions such as iodide, bromide, chloride, or fluoride, we found that FAD dissociates from the holoenzyme in the presence of iodide, bromide, or chloride, and the ability to dissociate FAD from the holoenzyme decreases in order iodide, bromide, and chloride. However, fluoride seems to enhance the association reaction of FAD with the apoenzyme. These results were consistent with the visible absorption spectra and derivative spectra of free FAD and the holoenzyme in the presence and absence of halide anions. 相似文献

Incomplete source budgets for methyl halides – compounds that release inorganic chlorine and bromine radicals which, in turn, catalyze atmospheric ozone depletion – limit our ability to predict the fate of the stratospheric ozone layer. We report here the first measured emissions of methyl chloride, methyl bromide, and methyl iodide from ectomycorrhizal fungi. We grew nine fungal isolates on growth media containing halide concentrations similar to those found in soils and plant tissues. The observed range of emissions was 0.003–65 μg methyl chloride, 0.001–3 μg methyl bromide, and 0.02–12 μg methyl iodide g?1 dry weight fungi day?1. Species varied in production rates of methyl chloride vs. methyl bromide vs. methyl iodide. Cenococcum geophilum, a widespread ectomycorrhizal fungus, was further tested to investigate the effects of halide substrate concentration in growth media. Emissions from this species increased linearly with increasing concentrations of both bromide and iodide. In addition, a subset of four fungi was studied with two media concentrations each of chloride, bromide, and iodide (0.2 or 20 mm ). These fungi had similar responses to halide concentration, despite 1000‐fold differences in baseline emission rates between isolates. Finally, high chloride concentrations (20 mm ) in media did not appear to inhibit emissions of methyl bromide or methyl iodide. Overall, ectomycorrhizal fungi might be an important source of methyl halides to the atmosphere, and substrate concentrations and community composition may influence production levels in ecosystems. 相似文献

The effects of various anions on the rate constant for dissociation of NADH from a binary complex with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase were evaluated. Phosphate, sulfate, and fluoride had no effect, while nitrate and the other halide ions caused a three- to fourfold increase in the rate constant for NADH dissociation. These results indicate that a ternary enzyme-NADH-anion complex is formed, and from the anion concentration dependence the relative affinities are iodide greater than nitrate and bromide greater than chloride. At high salt concentrations, above 0.2 M, the rate constants for NADH dissociation decreased, which was attributed to a decrease in the activity coefficient of the reactants or "salting in." The rate constant for NADH dissociation from ternary complex with imidazole, which crystallizes in an orthorhombic form rather than triclinic, was also substantially enhanced by anions. This provides an indication that the enhancement is independent of the conformational state of the enzyme complex. Thus, the most likely explanation for the observed enhancement of NADH dissociation is anion interference with binding of the coenzyme pyrophosphate group, which does not occur with larger anions such as phosphate or sulfate. Since NADH dissociation partially limits the turnover of the enzyme, the effect of nitrate on steady-state turnover was determined. A twofold increase was observed at optimal levels of nitrate, at both substrate inhibitory and noninhibitory concentrations of ethanol. 相似文献

ACTIVATION OF PIG BRAIN GLUTAMINASE 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Pig brain glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2, l -glutamine amidohydrolase) is activated by certain anions (e.g. phosphate, fluoride, carboxylic acids) and inhibited by others (e.g. chloride, bromide, iodide and glutamate). The only cation which has been found to activate the enzyme is the ammonium ion. This applies to both the tris-HCl form and the phosphate-borate form of glutaminase. 相似文献

Chloride self-exchange was determined by measuring the rate of 36Cl efflux from human red blood cells at pH 7.2 (0 degrees C) in the presence of fluoride, bromide, iodide, and bicarbonate. The chloride concentration was varied between 10--400 mM and the concentration of other halides and bicarbonate between 10--300 mM. Chloride equilibrium flux showed saturation kinetics. The half-saturation constant increased and the maximum flux decreased in the presence of halides and bicarbonate: the inhibition kinetics were both competitive and noncompetitive. The competitive and the noncompetitive effects increased proportionately in the sequence: fluoride less than bromide less than iodide. The inhibitory action of bicarbonate was predominantly competitive. The noncompetitive effect of chloride (chloride self-inhibition) on chloride transport was less dominant at high inhibitor concentrations. Similarly, the noncompetitive action of the inhibitors was less dominant at high chloride concentrations. The results can be described by a carrier model with two anion binding sites: a transport site, and a second site which modifies the maximum transport rate. Binding to both types of sites increases proportionately in the sequence: fluoride less than chloride less than bromide less than iodide. 相似文献

Three fluorescent halide-sensitive quinolinium dyes have been produced by the reaction of the 6-methylquinoline heterocyclic nitrogen base with methyl bromide, methyl iodide, and 3-bromo-1-propanol. The quaternary salts, unlike the precursor molecule, are readily water soluble and the fluorescence intensity of these salts is reduced in the presence of aqueous chloride, bromide, and iodide ions, allowing halide solution concentrations to be determined using well-known Stern-Volmer kinetics. One of the dyes, dye 1, has a chloride Stern-Volmer constant of 255 mol(-1) dm(3) which is more than twice that of SPQ [6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium] used in recent physiological measurements to measure intracellular chloride levels. The dyes have been characterized using steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and are compared to three similar dyes based on the 6-methoxyquinoline nucleus, reported earlier by the authors, and also to dyes reported by Krapf et al. (Anal. Biochem. 169, 142-150, 1988). The interference of aqueous anions and the potential for using these dyes in biological halide-sensing applications are discussed. 相似文献

Snail ganglia possess an anion-sensitive adenylate cyclase. This enzyme was stimulated 100% by chloride in a strictly GTP-dependent manner. The apparent affinity of chloride for adenylate cyclase was 2 X 10(-4) M. Halogens were found to be the most active anions. Some inorganic anions such as SO4(2-) and H2PO4- were inactive, as were all the organic anions tested. Stimulation was not cumulative for any maximal concentration of the active anions except fluoride. Chloride potentiated the effect of fluoride, indicating that the anion effect is not fluoride-like. Another striking result is that chloride enhanced adenylate cyclase sensitivity to the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. The absence of chloride stimulation when Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+ further indicates a role of the GTP-binding protein (the G/F unit). Chloride could reversibly stimulate the adenylate cyclase activity already maximally stimulated by guanyl 5'-imidodiphosphate. We therefore suggest that, in snail ganglia, chloride raises the activity of the G/F unit-catalytic unit complex at some stage after its formation. The same specific anion-sensitive adenylate cyclase was also found in some of the rat tissues tested. 相似文献

Two alternative mechanisms are frequently used to describe ionic permeation of lipid bilayers. In the first, ions partition into the hydrophobic phase and then diffuse across (the solubility-diffusion mechanism). The second mechanism assumes that ions traverse the bilayer through transient hydrophilic defects caused by thermal fluctuations (the pore mechanism). The theoretical predictions made by both models were tested for halide anions by measuring the permeability coefficients for chloride, bromide, and iodide as a function of bilayer thickness, ionic radius, and sign of charge. To vary the bilayer thickness systematically, liposomes were prepared from monounsaturated phosphatidylcholines (PC) with chain lengths between 16 and 24 carbon atoms. The fluorescent dye MQAE (N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-6-methoxyquinolinium bromide) served as an indicator for halide concentration inside the liposomes and was used to follow the kinetics of halide flux across the bilayer membranes. The observed permeability coefficients ranged from 10(-9) to 10(-7) cm/s and increased as the bilayer thickness was reduced. Bromide was found to permeate approximately six times faster than chloride through bilayers of identical thickness, and iodide permeated three to four times faster than bromide. The dependence of the halide permeability coefficients on bilayer thickness and on ionic size were consistent with permeation of hydrated ions by a solubility-diffusion mechanism rather than through transient pores. Halide permeation therefore differs from that of a monovalent cation such as potassium, which has been accounted for by a combination of the two mechanisms depending on bilayer thickness. 相似文献

Halide binding by the purified halorhodopsin chromoprotein. I. Effects on the chromophore 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The halorhodopsin chromoprotein, a retinal-protein complex with an apparent molecular mass of 20 kilo-daltons, exhibits all of the halide-dependent effects found for the chromophore of functional halorhodopsin in cell envelope vesicles. With increasing halide concentration (a) an alkali-dependent 580/410 nm chromophore equilibrium (attributed to reversible deprotonation of the retinal Schiff's base) is shifted toward the 580-nm chromophore and (b) the flash-induced photocycle proceeds increasingly via P520, rather than via P660. The halide-binding site(s) responsible for these effects must reside, therefore, in the chromoprotein. Chloride and bromide are about equivalent, but iodide is much less effective in these effects and in being transported. Several other anions, i.e. thiocyanate, nitrate, phosphate, and acetate, affect the absorption maximum of the chromophore but do not allow the production of P520 upon flash illumination and are not transported. However, these ions appear to compete with chloride in the flash experiments. These observations suggest that binding of anions to a relatively nonspecific site affects the protonation state of the Schiff's base in the chromophore. Either this site directly or a more specific site, connected to the first one by a sequential pathway, is involved with the photocycle intermediates and with chloride transport by halorhodopsin. 相似文献

Kinetic analyses of monoanion inhibition and 15Cl nuclear magnetic resonance at 5.88 MHz were employed to study monoanion interactions with the zinc metalloenzyme, renal dipeptidase. The enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of glycyldehydrophenylalanine exhibited competitive inhibition when the reaction rate was determined in the presence of the monovalent anions fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, azide, nitrate, or thiocyanate or upon the addition of the divalent anion, sulfate. Competitive inhibition was produced by these anions. One anion was bound per enzyme molecule, and except in the case of fluoride all of the anions appeared to bind at the same site. Cyanide ion produced a much more effective inhibition of renal dipeptidase than the other monoanions, and it was shown that two cyanide ions were bound per enzyme molecule. An investigation of the effect of pH upon monoanion inhibition suggested that the anion inhibitors bind to the group with a pK of approximately 7.8. Complete dissociation of this group (approximately pH 8.4) eliminates the inhibitory effect of anions. The 35Cl line broadening produced by renal dipeptidase in 0.5 M NaCl solutions was 100 times more effective than that produced by equivalent concentrations of aquozinc(II). The line broadening was dependent upon the concentration of the metalloenzyme and independent of the frequency of the exciting radiation. When zinc ion was removed from the metalloenzyme by dialysis or when chloride was titrated from the metalloenzyme by cyanide, line broadening was decreased. Treatment of renal dipeptidase with saturating concentrations of the competitive inhibitor, guanosine triphosphate, in the presence of 0.5 M NaCl also produced a significant decrease in the 35Cl line width. The 35Cl line broadening produced by renal dipeptidase was shown to decrease with increasing pH through the range pH 5.8-10.8. This line-width variation with pH appeared to result from the titration of a site on the metalloprotein with an approximate pK of 7.4. Temperature studies of 35Cl line broadening by the metalloenzyme in the presence of chloride and cyanide inhibitors suggest that the fast exchange process pertains and that the dominant relaxation mechanism is quadrupolar in nature. 相似文献

An antibacterial effect of myeloperoxidase, a halide, such as iodide, bromide, or chloride ion, and H(2)O(2) on Escherichia coli or Lactobacillus acidophilus is described. When L. acidophilus was employed, the addition of H(2)O(2) was not required; however, the protective effect of catalase suggested that, in this instance, H(2)O(2) was generated by the organisms. The antibacterial effect was largely prevented by preheating the myeloperoxidase at 80 C or greater for 10 min or by the addition of a number of inhibitors; it was most active at the most acid pH employed (5.0). Lactoperoxidase was considerably less effective than was myeloperoxidase when chloride was the halide employed. Myeloperoxidase, at high concentrations, exerted an antibacterial effect on L. acidophilus in the absence of added halide, which also was temperature- and catalase-sensitive. Peroxidase was extracted from intact guinea pig leukocytes by weak acid, and the extract with peroxidase activity had antibacterial properties which were similar, in many respects, to those of the purified preparation of myeloperoxidase. Under appropriate conditions, the antibacterial effect was increased by halides and by H(2)O(2) and was decreased by catalase, as well as by cyanide, azide, Tapazole, and thiosulfate. This suggests that, under the conditions employed, the antibacterial properties of a weak acid extract of guinea pig leukocytes is due, in part, to its peroxidase content, particularly if a halide is present in the reaction mixture. A heat-stable antibacterial agent or agents also appear to be present in the extract. 相似文献

Calix[4]pyrrole bearing catechol-derived diether strap linked via alkyl chains has been synthesized and characterized for the first time. The strap with 1,2-diether link is providing a relatively constrained geometry on its side of the calix[4]pyrrole moiety. As a result only one isomer (cis-type) of the receptor formed during reaction. The crystal structure reveals two molecules of methanol bound to the host. This calix[4]pyrrole also exhibits enhanced binding towards halide anions compared to simple calix[4]pyrrole apart from showing binding towards dihydrogenphosphate and acetate ions. The association constants are quite similar to that found for orcinol strapped calix[4]pyrrole towards halide anions in general, but having a higher preference for chloride than bromide ion in particular. Further it shows very strong preference towards fluoride ion. 相似文献

Guanylate cyclase of plasma membrane of isolated rat fat cells was activated 7 to 11 fold by oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid or arachidonic acid. The activation of the enzyme by linoleic acid or oleic acid was influenced by the concentration of enzyme protein and that of the fatty acid. At 158 μg/ml of enzyme protein, 0.6 mM linoleic acid produced maximal activation of 12 fold which was partially reversed by washing. Particulate guanylate cyclase of cerebral cortex and liver was also activated by linoleic acid. 相似文献

Abstract The glucan-binding lectins of Streptococcus cricetus AHT and Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 were reversibly inhibited by sodium fluoride. Fluoride was superior to chloride, bromide, iodide and thiocyanate in preventing glucan-mediated aggregation of the bacteria. Fluoride was also an effective inhibitor of the sucrose-dependent adhesion of S. sobrinus to glass surfaces. The inhibition of glucan-binding lectin activities may be one of the mechanisms of action of fluoride in preventing dental disease. 相似文献

Instrumental epithermal neutron activation analysis was used in determining the halide concentration of camel serum. The halides
determined were sodium, chloride, bromide, and iodide. Serum was examined when the camels had free access to drinking water,
following 10 d of water restriction and 2 h following rapid rehydration. When the camels were dehydrated there was a “serum
storage” of iodide. This confirms the decline in thyroid metabolism previously described (15). Following rehydration the thyroid
metabolism returned to normal. Dehydration also increased the serum bromide concentrations. This could have a tranquilizing
effect, abetting the decrease in metabolism. There were no changes in sodium or chloride metabolism. It is concluded that
use of neutron activation will allow an analysis of halides for physiological research. 相似文献

A novel kinetic approach was used to measure monovalent anion binding to better define the mechanistic basis for competition between stilbenedisulfonates and transportable anions on band 3. An anion-induced acceleration in the release of 4,4'-dibenzamidostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DBDS) from its complex with band 3 was measured using monovalent anions of various size and relative affinity for the transport site. The K1/2 values for anion binding were determined and correlated with transport site affinity constants obtained from the literature and the dehydrated radius of each anion. The results show that anions with ionic radii of 120-200 pm fall on a well-defined correlation line where the ranking of the K1/2 values matched the ranking of the transport site affinity constants (thiocyanate < nitrate approximately bromide < chloride < fluoride). The K1/2 values for the anions on this line were about 4-fold larger than expected for anion binding to inhibitor-free band 3. Such a lowered affinity can be explained in terms of allosteric site-site interactions, since the K1/2 values decreased with increasing anionic size. In contrast, iodide, with an ionic radius of about 212 pm, had a 10-fold lower affinity than predicted by the correlation line established by the smaller monovalent anions. These results indicate that smaller monovalent anions have unobstructed access to the transport site within the band 3 / DBDS binary complex, while iodide experiences significant steric hindrance when binding. The observation of steric hindrance in iodide binding to the band 3 / DBDS binary complex, but not in the binding of smaller monovalent anions, suggests that the stilbenedisulfonate binding site is located at the outer surface of an access channel leading to the transport site. 相似文献

An α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isolated from the living fossil sponge Astrosclera willeyana, Astrosclerin, was investigated for its inhibition profile with simple inorganic anions, complex anions and other small molecules known to interact with these zinc enzymes. Astrosclerin is a catalytically highly efficient enzyme, and is inhibited in the low micromolar range by sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, and in the submillimolar range by a variety of anions including fluoride, chloride, cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, bisulfate, stannate, perosmate, divanadate, perrhenate, perruthenate, selenocyanide, trithiocarbonate, diethyldithiocarbamate and iminodisulfonate. Less efficient Astrosclerin inhibitors were sulfate, bromide, iodide, azide, bicarbonate, carbonate, tetraborate and perchlorate (K(I)s of 5.11-30.6mM) whereas tetrafluoroborate was not at all inhibitory. Because Astrosclerin is involved in calcification processes in vivo, its anion inhibition profile may be important for future studies designed to shed light on the physiologic functions of α-CAs in marine organisms. 相似文献

Washed cell suspensions of the facultative methylotroph strain IMB-1 grown on methyl bromide (MeBr) were able to consume methyl chloride (MeCl) and methyl iodide (MeI) as well as MeBr. Consumption of >100 microM MeBr by cells grown on glucose, acetate, or monomethylamine required induction. Induction was inhibited by chloramphenicol. However, cells had a constitutive ability to consume low concentrations (<20 nM) of MeBr. Glucose-grown cells were able to readily oxidize [(14)C]formaldehyde to (14)CO(2) but had only a small capacity for oxidation of [(14)C]methanol. Preincubation of cells with MeBr did not affect either activity, but MeBr-induced cells had a greater capacity for [(14)C]MeBr oxidation than did cells without preincubation. Consumption of MeBr was inhibited by MeI, and MeCl consumption was inhibited by MeBr. No inhibition of MeBr consumption occurred with methyl fluoride, propyl iodide, dibromomethane, dichloromethane, or difluoromethane, and in addition cells did not oxidize any of these compounds. Cells displayed Michaelis-Menten kinetics for the various methyl halides, with apparent K(s) values of 190, 280, and 6,100 nM for MeBr, MeI, and MeCl, respectively. These results suggest the presence of a single oxidation enzyme system specific for methyl halides (other than methyl fluoride) which runs through formaldehyde to CO(2). The ease of induction of methyl halide oxidation in strain IMB-1 should facilitate its mass culture for the purpose of reducing MeBr emissions to the atmosphere from fumigated soils. 相似文献

EPR spectra of the low-spin cyanide complex of myeloperoxidase have been measured in the absence and presence of halide substrates; chloride, bromide and iodide. Halide-dependent spectral changes are found at acidic pH. The electronic structure of the low-spin ferric iron in cyanide complex appears to be modulated by halide binding to a protonated amino acid in the distal heme cavity. These findings suggest halide substrates can interact with ferryl oxygen in compound I during enzyme catalysis to form hypohalous acid. 相似文献

The inhibition of the newly discovered cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme XIII of murine origin (mCA XIII) has been investigated with a series of anions, such as the physiological ones (bicarbonate, chloride), or the metal complexing anions (cyanate, cyanide, azide, hydrogen sulfide, etc), nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, sulfamate, sulfamide as well as with phenylboronic and phenylarsonic acids. The best mCA XIII inhibitors were cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide and sulfamide, with K(I)-s in the range of 0.25microM-0.74 mM, whereas fluoride, iodide, azide, carbonate and hydrogen sulfide were less effective (K(I)-s in the range of 3.0-5.5mM). The least effective inhibitors were sulfate, chloride and bicarbonate (K(I)-s in the range of 138-267 mM). The affinity of mCA XIII for anions is very different from that of the other cytosolic isozymes (hCA I and II) or the mitochondrial isozyme hCA V. This resistance to inhibition by the physiological anions bicarbonate and chloride suggests an evolutionary adaptation of CA XIII to the presence of high concentrations of such anions (e.g., in the reproductive tract of both female and male), and the possible participation of this isozyme (similarly to CA II, CA IV and CA V) in metabolons with proteins involved in the anion exchange and transport, such as the anion exchangers (AE1-3) or the sodium bicarbonate co-transporter (NBC1 and NBC3) proteins, which remain to be identified. 相似文献
