The acyl-CoA:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15) (glycerol-P acyltransferase) and acyl-CoA:dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.42) (DHAP acyltransferase) activities were investigated in vitro in order to evaluate the quantitative contribution of the glycerol-P and DHAP pathways for the synthesis of triacylglycerols in isolated fat cells and to test the hypothesis that these two activities may be dual catalytic functions of a single enzyme. More than 85% of both acyltransferase activities was associated with the microsomal subcellular fraction. The microsomal glycerol-P acyltransferase activity showed an apparent Km of 8 muM for glycerol-P with a Vmax of 15.6 nmol/min/mg, while the DHAP acyltransferase activity showed an apparent Km of 40 muM for DHAP with a Vmax of 9.7 nmol/min/mg. Glycerol-P was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 7.2 muM) of the DHAP acyltransferase, and DHAP was a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 92 muM) of the glycerol-P acyltransferase. The two acyltransferase activities showed virtual identity in their pH dependence, acyl-CoA chain length dependence, thermolability, and inactivation by N-ethylmaleimide. Trypsin, detergents, collagenase, phospholipases, and various salts and organic solvents also had similar effects on both activities. Taken as a whole, the data strongly suggest that the microsomal glycerol-P and DHAP acyltransferase activities actually represent dual functions of a single enzyme. Calculations based on the above kinetic constants and previously reported glycerol-P and DHAP pools in adipocytes suggest that the in vivo ratio of glycerol-P to DHAP acylation should be greater than 24:1. 相似文献

Enzyme activities of the sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (glycerol-P) and of the dihydroxyacetone-phosphte (DHAP) pathway of glycerolipid biosynthesis were investigated during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes. Total particulate glycerol-P and DHAP acyltransferase activities increased 70- and 30-fold, respectively, during differentiation induced with methylisobutylxanthine and dexamethasone. The N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive (microsomal) glycerol-P and DHAP acyltransferase activities were virtually undetectable in nondifferentiated cells, and increased in parallel over 70-fold during differentiation. These and several kinetic observations are consistent with the induction of a single microsomal enzyme having dual activity. During differentiaion, the N-ethylmaleimide-resistant DHAP acyltransferase activity increased 10-fold, suggesting the presence of at least two DHAP acyltransferase isoenzymes. Qualitatively similar changes in microsomal glycerol-P and DHAP acyltransferase activities were observed when cell differentiation was induced with insulin or with insulin plus dexamethasone and methylisobutylxanthine. Acyl-DHAP oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.101) specific activity increased only 3- to 5-fold during adipocyte differentiation. Alkyl-DHAP synthase activity was not detected. These data demonstrate that selective changes in enzyme activities of the gycerol-P pathways of glycerolipid synthesis occur during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. 相似文献

The presence of the acyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate (acyl DHAP) pathway in yeasts was investigated by examining three key enzyme activities of this pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the total membrane fraction of S. cerevisiae, we confirmed the presence of both DHAP acyltransferase (DHAPAT; Km = 1.27 mM; Vmax = 5.9 nmol/min/mg of protein) and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT; Km = 0.28 mM; Vmax = 12.6 nmol/min/mg of protein). The properties of these two acyltransferases are similar with respect to thermal stability and optimum temperature of activity but differ with respect to pH optimum (6.5 for GPAT and 7.4 for DHAPAT) and sensitivity toward the sulfhydryl blocking agent N-ethylmaleimide. Total membrane fraction of S. cerevisiae also exhibited acyl/alkyl DHAP reductase (EC 1.1.1.101) activity, which has not been reported previously. The reductase has a Vmax of 3.8 nmol/min/mg of protein for the reduction of hexadecyl DHAP (Km = 15 microM) by NADPH (Km = 20 microM). Both acyl DHAP and alkyl DHAP acted as substrates. NADPH was the specific cofactor. Divalent cations and N-ethylmaleimide inhibited the enzymatic reaction. Reductase activity in the total membrane fraction from aerobically grown yeast cells was twice that from anaerobically grown cells. Similarly, DHAPAT and GPAT activities were also greater in aerobically grown yeast cells. The presence of these enzymes, together with the absence of both ether glycerolipids and the ether lipid-synthesizing enzyme (alkyl DHAP synthase) in S. cerevisiae, indicates that non-ether glycerolipids are synthesized in this organism via the acyl DHAP pathway. 相似文献

Revertants of Escherichia coli mutants defective in the first enzyme of membrane phospholipid synthesis, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (glycerol-P) acyltransferase, were investigated. These glycerol-P acyltransferase mutants, selected as glycerol-P auxotrophs, contained membranous glycerol-P acyltransferase activity with an apparent Km for glycerol-P 10 times higher than the parental activity. The glycerol-P acyltransferase activity was also more thermolabile in vitro than the parental activity. Most revertants no longer requiring glycerol-P for growth regained glycerol-P acyltransferase activity of normal thermolability and apparent Km for glycerol-P. However, two novel revertants were isolated which retained an abnormal glycerol-P acyltransferase activity. The glycerol-P dehydrogenase activities of these novel revertants were about 20-fold less sensitive to feedback inhibition by glycerol-P. The feedback-resistant glycerol-P dehydrogenase co-transduced with gpsA, the structural gene for the glycerol-P dehydrogenase. Further transduction experiments demonstrated that the feedback resistant glycerol-P dehydrogenase phenotypically suppressed the glycerol-P acyltransferase Km lesion. The existence of the class of glycerol-P auxotrophs which owe their phenotype to the glycerol-P acyltransferase Km lesion therefore depends on the feedback regulation of glycerol-P synthesis in E. coli. 相似文献

The regulation of cellular diacylglycerol levels may have important consequences for protein kinase C activity. Because monoacylglycerols were said to inhibit the committed step of glycerolipid synthesis, the sn-glycerol-3-P acyltransferase (glycerol-P acyltransferase), we determined (1) whether both the mitochondrial and the microsomal glycerol-P acyltransferase isoenzymes were inhibited by 1- and 2-mono-18:1-glycerols, and their ether and amide analogs and (2) what the mechanism of inhibition was. 1- and 2-mono-18:1-glycerols, their ether and amide analogs, and 1-mono-18:1-glycerol 3-phosphate were all competitive inhibitors of the microsomal glycerol-P acyltransferase activity. The relative Ki values suggested that inhibition was strongest with the radyl group at the sn-1 position and that an oxygen bond is important at the sn-1 position. Although the monoacyl- and monoalkylglycerols were also competitive inhibitors of the mitochondrial glycerol-P acyltransferase, neither of the amide analogs was an inhibitor, suggesting that an oxygen bond is essential at both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. Because monoradylglycerols inhibit several enzyme activities that contribute to the biosynthesis or the metabolism of diacylglycerol, these inhibitors may function within cells in part to regulate cellular diacylglycerol levels. 相似文献

The sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (glycerol-P) acyltransferase, the first enzyme of membrane phospholipid synthesis in Escherichia coli, was investigated in a wild type and a mutant strain defective in this activity. The mutant strain, selected as a glycerol-P auxotroph, was previously shown to contain a glycerol-P acyltransferase activity with an apparent Km for glycerol-P 10 times higher than that of its parent or revertants. The membranous mutant glycerol-P acyltransferase but did not appear to be thermolabile in vivo. Revertants no longer requiring glycerol-P for growth, showed glycerol-P acyltransferase activity with thermolability properties similar to the wild type. The second phospholipid biosynthetic enzyme, 1-acylglycerol-P acyltransferase, was not thermolabile in membranes containing a thermolabile glycerol-P acyltransferase activity. The pH optimum for the mutant acyltransferase was over 1 pH unit higher than that of the parental activity. Further, the mutant and wild type glycerol-P acyltransferase differed in their response to magnesium chloride and potassium chloride. The palmitoyl-CoA dependence of the wild type and mutant glycerol-P acyltransferase activities were different. The mutant glycerol-P acyltransferase activity was inhibited greater than 90% by Triton X-100 under conditions where the wild type activity was not affected. These experiments provide novel information about the wild type glycerol-P acyltransferase activity of E. coli and provide six additional lines of evidence for the mutant character of the glycerol-P acyltransferase in the mutant strains. 相似文献

The regulation of purified yeast membrane-associated phosphatidylserine synthase (CDP-diacylglycerol:L-serine O-phosphatidyltransferase, EC 2.7.8.8) and phosphatidylinositol synthase (CDP-diacylglycerol:myo-inositol 3-phosphatidyltransferase, EC 2.7.8.11) activities by phospholipids was examined using Triton X-100/phospholipid mixed micelles. Phosphatidate, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylinositol stimulated phosphatidylserine synthase activity, whereas cardiolipin and the neutral lipid diacylglycerol inhibited enzyme activity. Phosphatidate was a potent activator of phosphatidylserine synthase activity with an apparent activation constant (0.033 mol %) 88-fold lower than the apparent Km (2.9 mol %) for the surface concentration of CDP-diacylglycerol. Phosphatidate caused an increase in the apparent Vmax and a decrease in the apparent Km for the enzyme with respect to the surface concentration of CDP-diacylglycerol. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol caused an increase in the apparent Vmax for phosphatidylserine synthase with respect to CDP-diacylglycerol with apparent activation constants of 3.4 and 3.2 mol %, respectively. Cardiolipin and diacylglycerol were competitive inhibitors of phosphatidylserine synthase activity with respect to CDP-diacylglycerol. The apparent Ki value for cardiolipin (0.7 mol %) was 4-fold lower than the apparent Km for CDP-diacylglycerol, whereas the apparent Ki for diacylglycerol (7 mol %) was 2.4-fold higher than the apparent Km for CDP-diacylglycerol. Phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol did not affect phosphatidylserine synthase activity. Phosphatidylinositol synthase activity was not significantly effected by lipids. The role of lipid activators and inhibitors on phosphatidylserine synthase activity is discussed in relation to overall lipid metabolism. 相似文献

The activities, properties, and steady-state kinetics of the five enzymes catalyzing the synthesis of 1-acyl- and 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in the cultured skin fibroblasts from Zellweger syndrome patients and normal controls were studied in detail. Judging from their Km and Vmax values, glycerol phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.15), acyl/alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate reductase (EC 1.1.1.101), and acyl coenzyme A reductase (long-chain alcohol forming), appear to be affected only slightly by the absence of peroxisomes characteristic of the Zellweger syndrome. Glycerophosphate acyltransferase also showed no differences in N-ethylmaleimide sensitivity nor in inhibition by dihydroxyacetone phosphate between these cell types. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.42) and alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.26) have altered activity and kinetic constants in homogenates from Zellweger syndrome fibroblasts. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase has similar Km (DHAP) values in both control and Zellweger syndrome cells; however, the value for the Vmax in Zellweger syndrome cells is only 6% of that found in the controls. This is interpreted as indicating that this enzyme is not defective in this disease but is simply present at a depressed level. Also, this enzyme activity has a maximum rate at pH 7.0-7.5 in the mutant cells as opposed to pH 5.4 in the controls. Acylation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate by control cell homogenate was stimulated by N-ethylmaleimide at both pH 5.7 and 7.5 whereas this activity from Zellweger syndrome cells was slightly inhibited at pH 5.7 and strongly inhibited at pH 7.5. In the absence of detergent, dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase in the Zellweger syndrome cells was much more labile to trypsin than in the control cells. Alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate synthase had a slightly higher Km (33 vs 17 microM) for palmitoyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate and a lower Vmax (0.07 vs 0.24 mU/mg protein) in the Zellweger syndrome cells as compared to controls. Although this is a substantial decrease in activity, it probably contributes little to the decreased rate of ether lipid synthesis in these cells. The major problem in this respect is apparently the loss of dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase activity. All of these enzymes, in both control and Zellweger syndrome cell homogenates, are sedimentable by centrifugation at 100,000g. Also, with the exception of dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase they had similar patterns of inactivation by heat in both cell types. 相似文献

Homogeneous wild type and feedback-resistant forms of the biosynthetic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (glycerol-P) dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli (EC1.1.1.8) were subjected to two-substrate kinetic analysis. The kinetics of the NADPH-dependent reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (dihydroxyacetone-P) and of the NADP-dependent oxidation of glycerol-P indicate that these reactions proceed by a sequential mechanism. Glycerol-P was a competitive inhibitor with respect to dihydroxyacetone-P for both enzymes. The wild type and feedback-resistant glycerol-P dehydrogenases had Ki values for glycerol-P of 4.4 micrometer and 43 micrometer, respectively. Therefore, the sensitivity of the wild type activity and reduced sensitivity of the feedback-resistant activity, both noted previously in crude extracts, were inherent properties of the enzymes. The patterns of product inhibition for both enzymes were identical, and the difference in the inhibition constants for glycerol-P occurred without significant alteration of any other kinetic constant determined. Kinetic mechanisms consistent with the patterns of product inhibition violated Haldane relationships and other kinetic relationships. These discrepancies suggest that glycerol-P inhibition occurs at a site distinct from the active site. The pH dependencies of the Km for dihydroxyacetone-P and the Ki for glycerol-P were markedly different suggesting the existence of an allosteric site. The addition of glycerol-P in the presence of NADPH stabilized both enzymes against thermal inactivation. Half-maximal stabilization was provided by 5 micrometer and 50 micrometer glycerol-P for the wild type and feedback-resistant enzymes, respectively. These kinetic data, considered in conjunction with previous physiologic and genetic data, indicate that the synthesis of glycerol-P is regulated in vivo by glycerol-P inhibition of the glycerol-P dehydrogenase. The data suggest that glycerol-P inhibition occurs at an allosteric, regulatory site. 相似文献

The kinetic properties and inhibitor sensitivity of the Na+-H+ exchange activity present in the inner membrane of rat heart and liver mitochondria were studied. (1) Na+-induced H+ efflux from mitochondria followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In heart mitochondria, the Km for Na+ was 24 +/- 4 mM and the Vmax was 4.5 +/- 1.4 nmol H+/mg protein per s (n = 6). Basically similar values were obtained in liver mitochondria (Km = 31 +/- 2 mM, Vmax = 5.3 +/- 0.2 nmol H+/mg protein per s, n = 4). (2) Li+ proved to be a substrate (Km = 5.9 mM, Vmax = 2.3 nmol H+/mg protein per s) and a potent competitive inhibitor with respect to Na+ (Ki approximately 0.7 mM). (3) External H+ inhibited the mitochondrial Na+-H+ exchange competitively. (4) Two benzamil derivatives of amiloride, 5-(N-4-chlorobenzyl)-N-(2',4'-dimethyl)benzamil and 3',5'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzamil were effective inhibitors of the mitochondrial Na+-H+ exchange (50% inhibition was attained by approx. 60 microM in the presence of 15 mM Na+). (5) Three 5-amino analogues of amiloride, which are very strong Na+-H+ exchange blockers on the plasma membrane, exerted only weak inhibitory activity on the mitochondrial Na+-H+ exchange. (6) The results indicate that the mitochondrial and the plasma membrane antiporters represent distinct molecular entities. 相似文献

1. The effects of phenylalanine and its metabolites (phenylacetate, phenethylamine, phenyl-lactate, o-hydroxyphenylacetate and phenylpyruvate) on the activity of 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30) 3-oxo acid CoA-transferase (EC 2.8.3.5) and acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.9) in brain of suckling rats were investigated. 2. The 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from the brain of suckling rats had a Km for 3-hydroxybutyrate of 1.2 mM. Phenylpyruvate, phenylacetate and o-hydroxyphenylacetate inhibited the enzyme activity with Ki values of 0.5, 1.3 and 4.7 mM respectively. 3. The suckling-rat brain 3-oxo acid CoA-transferase activity had a Km for acetoacetate of 0.665 mM and for succinyl (3-carboxypropionyl)-CoA of 0.038 mM. The enzyme was inhibited with respect to acetoacetate by phenylpyruvate (Ki equals 1.3 mM) and o-hydroxyphenylacetate (Ki equals 4.5 mM). The reaction in the direction of acetoacetate was also inhibited by phenylpyruvate (Ki equals 1.6 mM) and o-hydroxyphenylacetate (Ki equals 4.5 mM). 4. Phenylpyruvate inhibited with respect to acetoacetyl-CoA both the mitochondrial (Ki equals 3.2 mM) and cytoplasmic (Ki equals 5.2 mM) acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase activities. 5. The results suggest that inhibition of 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and 3-oxo acid CoA-transferase activities may impair ketone-body utilization and hence lipid synthesis in the developing brain. This suggestion is discussed with reference to the pathogenesis of mental retardation in phenylketonuria. 相似文献

The activity of phosphoglucose isomerase, its kinetic properties, and the effect of 6-phosphogluconate on its activity in the forward (glucose 6-phosphate----fructose 6-phosphate) and the reverse (fructose 6-phosphate----glucose 6-phosphate) reactions were determined in adult rat brain in vitro. The activity of phosphoglucose isomerase (in nmol/min/mg of whole brain protein) was 1,865 +/- 20 in the forward reaction and 1,756 +/- 32 in the reverse reaction at pH 7.5. It was 1,992 +/- 28 and 2,620 +/- 46, respectively, at pH 8.5. The apparent Km and Vmax of phosphoglucose isomerase were 0.593 +/- 0.031 mM and 2,291 +/- 61 nmol/min/mg of protein, respectively, for glucose 6-phosphate and 0.095 +/- 0.013 mM and 2,035 +/- 98 nmol/min/mg of protein, respectively, for fructose 6-phosphate. The activity of phosphoglucose isomerase was inhibited intensely and competitively by 6-phosphogluconate, with an apparent Ki of 0.048 +/- 0.005 mM for glucose 6-phosphate and 0.042 +/- 0.004 mM for fructose 6-phosphate as the substrate. With glucose 6-phosphate as the substrate, at concentrations from 0.05 to 0.5 mM, the activity of the enzyme was inhibited completely in the presence of 0.5-2.0 mM 6-phosphogluconate. With 0.05-0.2 mM fructose 6-phosphate as the substrate, it was inhibited greater than or equal to 85% at the same concentrations of the inhibitor. No significant changes were observed in the values of Km, Vmax, and Ki for phosphoglucose isomerase in the brain of 6-aminonicotinamide-treated rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Asymmetric reconstitution of homogeneous Escherichia coli sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase into phospholipid vesicles 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (glycerol-P) acyltransferase of Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membrane was purified in Triton X-100 (Green, P. R., Merrill, A. H., Jr., and Bell, R. M. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 11151-11159) and incorporated into mixed micelles containing Triton X-100, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, and beta-octyl glucoside. Enzyme activity was quantitatively reconstituted from the mixed micelle into single-walled phospholipid vesicles by chromatography over Sephadex G-50. Activity coeluted with vesicles of 90-nm average diameter on columns of Sepharose CL-4B and Sephacryl S-1000. These vesicles contained less than 2 Triton X-100 and 5 beta-octyl glucoside molecules/100 phospholipid molecules. Calculations suggested that up to eight 91,260-dalton glycerol-P acyltransferase polypeptides were incorporated per 90-nm vesicle. The pH dependence and apparent Km values for glycerol-P and palmitoyl-CoA of the glycerol-P acyltransferase reconstituted into vesicles were similar to those observed upon reconstitution by mixing of the enzyme in Triton X-100 with a 20-fold molar excess of sonicated phosphatidylethanolamine:phosphatidylglycerol:cardiolipin, 6:1:1. The integrity of vesicles containing glycerol-P acyltransferase was established by trapping 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). Chymotrypsin inactivated greater than 95% of the glycerol-P acyltransferase in intact vesicles and cleaved the 91,260-dalton polypeptide into several vesicle-bound and several released peptides, indicating that critical domains of the enzyme are accessible in intact vesicles. Trinitrobenzene sulfonate and 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene caused greater than 90% loss of glycerol-P acyltransferase in vesicles. Disruption of vesicles with Triton X-100 did not reveal significant latent activity. These data strongly suggest that the glycerol-P acyltransferase was reconstituted asymmetrically into the vesicles with its active site facing outward. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (glycerol-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.8; G3P DHG) was purified 178-fold to homogeneity from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain H44-3D by affinity- and ion-exchange chromatography. SDS-PAGE indicated that the enzyme had a molecular mass of approximately 42,000 (+/- 1,000) whereas a molecular mass of 68,000 was observed using gel filtration, implying that the enzyme may exist as a dimer. The pH optimum for the reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) was 7.6 and the enzyme had a pI of 7.4. NADPH will not substitute for NADH as coenzyme in the reduction of DHAP. The oxidation of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) occurs at 3% of the rate of DHAP reduction at pH 7.0. Apparent Km values obtained were 0.023 and 0.54 mM for NADH and DHAP, respectively. NAD, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), ATP and ADP inhibited G3P DHG activity. Ki values obtained for NAD with NADH as variable substrate and FBP with DHAP as variable substrate were 0.93 and 4.8 mM, respectively. 相似文献

The yeast Rhodotorula glutinis (Rhodosporidium toruloides) is capable of accumulative transport of a wide variety of monosaccharides. Initial velocity studies of the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose were consistent with the presence of at least two carriers for this sugar in the Rhodotorula plasma membrane. Non-linear regression analysis of the data returned maximum velocities of 0.8 +/- 0.2 and 2.0 +/- 0.2 nmol/min per mg (wet weight) and Km values of 18 +/- 4 and 120 +/- 20 microM, respectively, for the two carriers. Kinetic studies of D-glucose transport also revealed two carriers with maximum velocities of 1.1 +/- 0.4 and 2.4 +/- 0.4 nmol/min per mg (wet weight) and Km values of 12 +/- 3 and 55 +/- 12 microM. As expected, 2-deoxy-D-glucose was a competitive inhibitor of D-glucose transport. Ki values for the inhibition were 16 +/- 8 and 110 +/- 40 microM. These Ki values were in good agreement with the Km values for 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport. D-Xylose, the 5-deoxymethyl analog of D-glucose, appears to utilize the D-glucose/2-deoxy-D-glucose carriers. This pentose was observed to be a competitive inhibitor of D-glucose (Ki values = 0.14 +/- 0.06 and 5.6 +/- 1.6 mM) and 2-deoxy-D-glucose (Ki values = 0.15 +/- 0.07 and 4.6 +/- 1.2 mM) transport. 相似文献

The substrate specificities of monoamine oxidase (MAO) A isolated from human placenta and of human liver expressed in yeast have been compared in homogeneous preparations with respect to Vmax and Km values for natural and synthetic substrates and Ki values for competitive inhibitors. MAO A from these two sources is known to differ in at least 5 amino acid residues. While the Km and Ki values were found to be nearly identical in the enzymes from these two sources, the Vmax differed significantly on bulky synthetic substrates. 相似文献

Kinetic parameters of the selenium-containing, formate dehydrogenase component of the Escherichia coli formate-hydrogenlyase complex have been determined with purified enzyme. A ping-pong Bi Bi kinetic mechanism was observed. The Km for formate is 26 mM, and the Km for the electron-accepting dye, benzyl viologen, is in the range 1-5 mM. The maximal turnover rate for the formate-dependent catalysis of benzyl viologen reduction was calculated to be 1.7 x 10(5) min-1. Isotope exchange analysis showed that the enzyme catalyzes carbon exchange between carbon dioxide and formate in the absence of other electron acceptors, confirming the ping-pong reaction mechanism. Dissociation constants for formate (12.2 mM) and CO2 (8.3 mM) were derived from analysis of the isotope exchange data. The enzyme catalyzes oxidation of the alternative substrate deuterioformate with little change in the Vmax, but the Km for deuterioformate is approximately three times that of protioformate. This implies formate oxidation is not rate-limiting in the overall coupled reaction of formate oxidation and benzyl viologen reduction. The deuterium isotope effect on Vmax/Km was observed to be approximately 4.2-4.5. Sodium nitrate was found to inhibit enzyme activity in a competitive manner with respect to formate, with a Ki of 7.1 mM. Sodium azide is a noncompetitive inhibitor with a Ki of about 80 microM. 相似文献

Kinetic studies on the low- and high-Km transport systems for S-2,4-dinitrophenyl glutathione (DNP-SG) present in erythrocyte membranes were performed using inside-out plasma membrane vesicles. The high-affinity system showed a Km of 3.9 microM a Vmax of 6.3 nmol/mg protein per h, and the low-affinity system a Km of 1.6 mM and a Vmax of 131 nmol/mg protein per h. Both uptake components were inhibited by fluoride, vanadate, p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB) and bis(4-nitrophenyl)dithio-3,3'-dicarboxylate (DTNB). The low-Km uptake process was less sensitive to the inhibitory action of DTNB as compared to the high-Km process. N-Ethylmaleimide (1 mM) inhibited the high-Km process only. The high-affinity uptake of DNP-SG was competitively inhibited by GSSG (Ki = 88 microM). Vice versa, DNP-SG inhibited competitively the low-Km component of GSSG uptake (Ki = 3.3 microM). The high-Km DNP-SG uptake system was not inhibited by GSSG. The existence of a common high-affinity transporter for DNP-SG and GSSG in erythrocytes is suggested. 相似文献

In human pregnancy, placental 3 beta-hydroxy-5-ene-steroid dehydrogenase and steroid 5----4-ene-isomerase produce progesterone from pregnenolone and metabolize fetal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate to androstenedione, an estrogen precursor. The enzyme complex was solubilized from human placental microsomes using the anionic detergent, sodium cholate. Purification (500-fold, 3.9% yield) was achieved by ion exchange chromatography (Fractogel-TSK DEAE 650-S) followed by hydroxylapatite chromatography (Bio-Gel HT). The purified enzyme was detected as a single protein band in sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (monomeric Mr = 19,000). Fractionation by gel filtration chromatography at constant specific enzyme activity supported enzyme homogeneity and determined the molecular mass (Mr = 76,000). The dehydrogenase and isomerase activities copurified. Kinetic constants were determined at pH 7.4, 37 degrees C for the oxidation of pregnenolone (Km = 1.9 microM, Vmax = 32.6 nmol/min/mg) and dehydroepiandrosterone (Km = 2.8 microM, Vmax = 32.0 nmol/min/mg) and for the isomerization of 5-pregnene-3,20-dione (Km = 9.7 microM, Vmax = 618.3 nmol/min/mg) and 5-androstene-3,17-dione (Km = 23.7 microM, Vmax = 625.7 nmol/min/mg). Mixed substrate analyses showed that the dehydrogenase and isomerase reactions use the appropriate pregnene and androstene steroids as alternative, competitive substrates. Dixon analyses demonstrated competitive inhibition of the oxidation of pregnenolone and dehydroepiandrosterone by both product steroids, progesterone and androstenedione. The enzyme has a 3-fold higher affinity for androstenedione than for progesterone as an inhibitor of dehydrogenase activity. Based on these competitive patterns of substrate utilization and product inhibition, the pregnene and androstene activities of 3 beta-hydroxy-5-ene-steroid dehydrogenase and steroid 5----4-ene-isomerase may be expressed at a single catalytic site on one protein in human placenta. 相似文献

Uptake of the thioether S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glutathione (DNPSG) in canalicular plasma membrane vesicles from rat liver is enhanced in the presence of ATP and exhibits an overshoot with a transient 5.5-fold accumulation of DNPSG. Stimulation by ATP is not caused by the generation of a membrane potential, based on responses of the indicator dye oxonol V. ATP-dependent uptake has an apparent Km of 71 microM for DNPSG and a Vmax of 0.34 nmol.min-1.mg of vesicle protein-1. Protein thiol groups are essential for transport activity as indicated by the sensitivity of DNPSG transport to sulfhydryl reagents. There is competitive inhibition with other thioethers, S-hexylglutathione (Ki = 66 microM), the photoaffinity label S-(4-azidophenacyl)glutathione (Ki = 56 microM), as well as with glutathione disulfide (Ki = 0.44 mM) and with the bile acid taurocholate (Ki = 0.61 mM). GSH (2 mM) or cholate (0.4 mM) does not inhibit. Both glutathione disulfide and taurocholate show ATP-dependent transport in the canalicular membrane vesicles which is inhibited by DNPSG. No ATP-dependent transport is found for GSH. Transport of DNPSG is also inhibited competitively by alpha-naphthyl-beta-D-glucuronide (Ki = 0.42 mM) but not by alpha-naphthylsulfate (2 mM), and there is substantial inhibition with the glucuronides from ebselen and p-nitrophenol. The results indicate that the canalicular transport system for DNPSG is directly driven by ATP and that the biliary transport of other classes of compounds may also proceed via this system. 相似文献
