1. A method is described for the purification of a form of 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (tryptophan) that probably differs from that of the native enzyme. 2. The kinetics of the reaction catalysed by 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (tryptophan) shows that the reaction proceeds via a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism, with activation by phosphoenolpyruvate (P-Prv), the first substrate, and inhibition by erythrose 4-phosphate (Ery-P) the second substrate. At low substrate concentrations, KP-Prv is 0.1 mM and KEry-P is 0.13 mM. 3. The substrates phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose 4-phosphate and the product inorganic phosphate can protect the purified enzyme against heat denaturation, whereas the inhibitor, tryptophan, has no effect, although it binds to the enzyme in the absence of other ligands. 4. Product inhibition by inorganic phosphate is linear non-competitive with respect to phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki, slope = 22 mM and Ki, intercept = 54 mM) and substrate-linear competitive with respect to erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki, slope = 25 mM). 5. The enzyme has an activity optimum at pH 7.3 and a tryptophan inhibition optimum at pH 6.4, Trp 0.5 is 4 microM. Inhibition by tryptophan is non-competitive with respect to phosphoenolpyrovate and substrate-parabolic competitive with respect to erythrose 4-phosphate. 6. The role of the enzyme in metabolic regulation is discussed. 相似文献

A homogeneous multimeric protein isolated from the green alga, Scenedesmus obliquus, has both latent phosphoribulokinase activity and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was active with both NADPH and NADH, but predominantly with NADH. Incubation with 20 mM dithiothreitol and 1 mM NADPH promoted the coactivation of phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, accompanied by a decrease in the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity linked to NADH. The multimeric enzyme had a Mr of 560,000 and was of apparent subunit composition 8G6R. R represents a subunit of Mr 42,000 conferring phosphoribulokinase activity and G a subunit of 39,000 responsible for the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. On SDS-PAGE the Mr-42,000 subunit comigrates with the subunit of the active form of phosphoribulokinase whereas that of Mr-39,000 corresponds to that of NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The multimeric enzyme had a S20,W of 14.2 S. Following activation with dithiothreitol and NADPH, sedimenting boundaries of 7.4 S and 4.4 S were formed due to the depolymerization of the multimeric protein to NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (4G) and active phosphoribulokinase (2R). It has been possible to isolate these two enzymes from the activated preparation by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Prolonged activation of the multimeric protein by dithiothreitol in the absence of nucleotide produced a single sedimenting boundary of 4.6 S, representing a mixture of the active form of phosphoribulokinase and an inactive dimeric form of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Algal thioredoxin, in the presence of 1 mM dithiothreitol and 1 mM NADPH, stimulated the depolymerization of the multimeric protein with resulting coactivation of phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Light-induced depolymerization of the multimeric protein, mediated by reduced thioredoxin, is postulated as the mechanism of light activation in vivo. Consistent with such a postulate is the presence of high concentrations of the active forms of phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in extracts from photoheterotrophically grown algae. By contrast, in extracts from the dark-grown algae the multimeric enzyme predominates. 相似文献

Photosynthetic oxygen evolution by a reconstituted chloroplast system utilising sn-phospho-3-glycerol (3-phosphoglycerate) ceases upon the addition of ribose 5-phosphate even though the presence of this metabolite permits a rapid and immediate CO2 fixation. The period of cessation is appreciable at 0.1 mM ribose 5-phosphate. It is lengthened as the amount of added ribose 5-phosphate is increased and by the addition of dithiothreitol, a known activator of ribulose-5-phosphate kinase. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate is without effect. A similar interruption of O2 evolution may also be brought about by the addition of ADP or by ADP-generating systems such as glucose plus hexokinase. Spectrophotometric experiments indicate that the reoxidation of NADPH in the presence of sn-phospho-3-glycerol is similarly affected. The transient inhibition by ribose 5-phosphate is not observed in the presence of an active ATP-generating system or in the presence of sufficient DL-glyceraldehyde to inhibit ribulose-5-phosphate kinase activity. It is concluded that ribose 5-phosphate inhibits photosynthetic O2 evolution by adversely affecting the steady-state ATP/ADP ratio and consequently the reduction of sn-phospho-3-glycerol to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The results are discussed in their relation to ADP regulation of photosynthetic carbon assimilation and metabolite transport. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses two novel regulatory isozymes of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In Pseudomonas aeruginosa the initial enzyme of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase, has been known to be subject to feedback inhibition by a metabolite in each of the three major pathway branchlets. Thus, an apparent balanced multieffector control is mediated by L-tyrosine, by L-tryptophan, and phenylpyruvate. We have now resolved DAHP synthase into two distinctive regulatory isozymes, herein denoted DAHP synthase-tyr (Mr = 137,000) and DAHP synthase-trp (Mr = 175,000). DAHP synthase-tyr comprises greater than 90% of the total activity. L-Tyrosine was found to be a potent effector, inhibiting competitively with respect to both phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 23 microM) and erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 23 microM). Phenylpyruvate was a less effective competitive inhibitor: phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 2.55 mM) and erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 1.35 mM). DAHP synthase-trp was found to be inhibited noncompetitively by L-tryptophan with respect to phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 40 microM) and competitively with respect to erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 5 microM). Chorismate was a relatively weak competitive inhibitor: phosphoenolpyruvate (Ki = 1.35 mM) and erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki = 2.25 mM). Thus, each isozyme is strongly inhibited by an amino acid end product and weakly inhibited by an intermediary metabolite. 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

The dependence of the activity of phosphoribulokinase isolated from a cyanobacterium, Synechococcus PCC7942, on Mg2+ showed that its real substrates were Mg-ATP and free D-ribulose 5-phosphate. On the basis of results of kinetic inhibition studies and previously reported result of affinity chromatography, an ordered bi bi mechanism in which Mg-ATP binds before ribulose 5-phosphate is proposed. The Km values for ATP and D-ribulose 5-phosphate were 0.09 and 0.27 mM, respectively. Ki values of ADP and D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate were 0.32 and 10.0 mM, respectively. Inhibition constants Ki1 and Ki2 for 6-phosphogluconate were 9.3 and 0.49 mM. Kia was 0.13 mM. New kinetics on PRK gave higher control coefficient than the kinetics on Spinach PRK did in the model with PRK activity from 175 to 1000 µmol min–1 mg–1 chl. 相似文献

In order to study the potential role of cysteinyl residues in catalysis and inhibition of human aldose reductase, mutants containing cysteine to serine substitution at positions 80 (ALR2:C80S), 298 (ALR2:C298S), and 303 (ALR2:C303S) were constructed. Mutation of Cys298 resulted in the most profound changes, as ALR2:C298S displayed 4- to 5-fold elevation in K'm(NADPH), K'm(DL-glyceraldehyde), and kcat(DL-glyceraldehyde) relative to wild type aldose reductase as well as a 10-fold higher Ki for the aldose reductase inhibitor sorbinil. Wild type and mutant reductases were equally sensitive to tolrestat, a structurally different reductase inhibitor. Carboxymethylation of the wild type enzyme or the C80S and C303S mutants led to a modest decrease in kcat as well as an increase in K'm(DL-glyceraldehyde) and Ki(sorbinil). These parameters were not significantly changed when ALR2:C298S was subjected to carboxymethylation. Lithium sulfate caused activation of ALR2:WT, C80S, and C303S but did not significantly affect the activity of ALR2:C298S. The differential sensitivity of wild type and mutant reductases to inhibition by sorbinil and tolrestat, before and after carboxymethylation, indicates that these inhibitors bind at different sites. These results suggest that Cys-298 is present near the active site and constitutes a regulatory group which controls the catalytic activity and inhibitor sensitivity of the enzyme. 相似文献

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylases (UTP: 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.23) from baker's yeast and Neurospora crassa IFO 6178 were inhibited by uridine which is the nucleoside moiety of UDP-GlcNAc. The inhibition was shown in both directions of pyrophosphorolysis and of synthesis of UDP-GlcNAc. Kinetic analysis revealed that uridine demonstrated a noncompetitive type of inhibition with UDP-GlcNAc and competitive inhibition with PPi. The Ki values for the baker's yeast enzyme were 1.8 mM for UDP-GlcNAc and 0.16 mM for PPi, and the values for the Neurospora enzyme were 1.1 mM for UDP-GlcNAc and 0.15 mM for PPi, respectively. Uridine did not bind irreversibly to the enzyme, as the activity was restored with dialysis. No other nucleosides caused inhibition of the enzyme activity except uridine. Some uridine derivatives, such as 5-hydroxyuridine, 5,6-dihydrouridine and pseudouridine, also inhibited the enzyme activity. But doexyuridine showed only slight inhibition, and 5'-UMP and orotidine caused no inhibition of the enzyme activity. 相似文献

CO2 fixation by particle-free extracts from Nitrobacter winogradskyi increased by addition of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Ribulose-1,5-diphosphate, however, increased CO2 fixation, even in the absence of NADH. Phosphoribulokinase (EC 2.7.1.19) was the enzyme of Nitrobacter extracts that was activated specifically by NADH. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate inhibited both CO2 fixation and NADH-activated phosphoribulokinase from Nitrobacter. However, it did not affect phosphoribulokinase from spinach leaves. Since the spinach enzyme had also no requirement for reduced pyridine nucleotides, it appears that pyridoxal phosphate interferes only with the binding of NADH and not with the binding of ribulose-5-phosphate and adenosine-5'-triphosphate. The regulation of phosphoribulokinase activity by NADH provided Nitrobacter with an energy-dependent control mechanism of CO2 assimilation. 相似文献

Two high-Mr forms of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from spinach leaf can be separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. One form, the high-Mr glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, resembles an enzyme previously described [Yonuschot, G.R., Ortwerth, B.J. & Koeppe, O.J. (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 4193-4198]. The other, a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoribulokinase complex, is characterised by possession of latent phosphoribulokinase activity, only expressed following incubation with dithiothreitol. This complex is composed not only of subunits A (39.5 kDa) and B (41.5 kDa) characteristic of the high-Mr glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, but also of a third subunit, R (40.5 kDa) comigrating with that from the active phosphoribulokinase of spinach. Incubation of the complex with dithiothreitol markedly stimulated both its phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent dehydrogenase activities. This dithiothreitol-induced activation was accompanied by depolymerisation to give two predominantly NADPH-linked tetrameric glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (the homotetramer, A4, and the heterotetramer, A2B2) as well as the active dimeric phosphoribulokinase. Incubation of the high-Mr glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase with dithiothreitol promoted complete depolymerisation yielding only the heterotetramer (A2B2). Possible structures suggested for the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoribulokinase complex are (A2B2)2A4R2 or (A2B2)(A4)2R2. 相似文献

alpha-Glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5) in mitochondria from liver of the triiodothyronine-treated rats is competitively inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate, the apparent Ki values for phosphoenolpyruvate being 0.76 mM at pH 7.0, 1.7 mM at pH 7.4 and 3.5 mM at pH 7.7. The apparent Ki values for glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate are also pH-dependent. Other glycolytic intermediates, such as 2-phosphoglycerate, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, pyruvate, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate did not alter significantly alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity. Palmitoyl-CoA is a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme, with Ki value of about 30 micron. 相似文献

Based on the lack of correlation between the ability of various hexoses to serve as substrate and the ability of the corresponding hexose 6-phosphates to inhibit brain hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1), R. K. Crane and A. Sols (1954, J. Biol. Chem. 210, 597-606) proposed that this enzyme possesses two discrete sites capable of binding hexose moieties, one serving as the substrate binding site and a second, regulatory in function, to which inhibitory 6-phosphates bind. Subsequent work has provided further experimental support for this proposal. The pioneering work by Crane and Sols focused primarily on the specificity of these sites with respect to requirements for orientation of hydroxyl substituents at the various positions of the pyranose ring. The present study explores additional aspects of the specificity of these sites, namely, the effect of substitution of a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen in the pyranose ring on ability to serve as substrate or inhibitor, and the effect of modification in charge of the substituent at the 6-position on inhibitory effectiveness. 5-Thioglucose is a linear competitive (versus glucose) inhibitor of rat brain hexokinase, with a Ki of about 0.2 mM, and is a linear mixed inhibitor (versus ATP), with Ki values in this same range. 5-Thioglucose is not, however, readily phosphorylated by brain hexokinase. Thus, although 5-thioglucose binds with moderate affinity to the glucose binding site, it is not effectively used as a substrate of the enzyme. Inhibition of brain hexokinase by glucose 6-phosphate or its analogs has been found to require a dianionic substituent at the 6-position. The 6-fluorophosphate derivative and glucose 6-sulfate are poor inhibitors of the enzyme, and the Ki for inhibition by 1,5-anhydroglucitol 6-phosphate increases markedly at pH values below the pK of the 6-phosphate group, indicating that the monoanionic form is ineffective as an inhibitor. In contrast to the detrimental effect that substitution of the oxygen atom in the pyranose ring with a sulfur has on ability to serve as substrate, 5-thio analogs are considerably more effective as inhibitors, the Ki for inhibition by 5-thioglucose 6-phosphate being 10-fold lower than that seen with glucose 6-phosphate. This effect of the heteroatom substitution can partially offset the decreased inhibition resulting from monoanionic character at the 6-position, but the 6-fluorophosphate derivative of 5-thioglucose 6-phosphate still inhibits with a Ki about 1000-fold greater than that seen with 5-thioglucose 6-phosphate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Spinach leaf phosphoribulokinase is sensitive to modification by ATP analogs that react with lysine residues. The 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative of ATP (oATP) inactivates enzyme in a slow, time-dependent fashion. The process follows first-order kinetics (kinact = 0.07 min-1), and the concentration dependence of inactivation indicates tight inhibitor binding (Ki = 106 microM). ATP offers good protection against inactivation (Kd = 67 microM), suggesting that oATP is directed toward the catalytic site. This conclusion is supported by the fact that oATP functions as an alternate substrate (Km = 0.55 mM). Inactivation of phosphoribulokinase by [14C]oATP results in a modification stoichiometry of 0.7/site. The 14C-labeled enzyme is stable to dialysis, suggesting that the covalent adduct formed between protein and oATP is not a simple Schiff's base. Adenosine di- and triphosphopyridoxals (Ado-P2-Pl and Ado-P3-Pl, respectively) also inhibit spinach phosphoribulokinase in a time-dependent fashion. In this case, activity loss is reversible unless the inhibited species is borohydride-reduced, suggesting that Ado-P2-Pl and Ado-P3-Pl form Schiff's bases with an amino group on the enzyme. Protection is afforded by the substrate ATP, suggesting that modification is active site-directed. Prolonged incubation of enzyme with these inhibitors does not result in complete inactivation of phosphoribulokinase. Residual activity is dependent on inhibitor concentration, as would be expected if equilibrium is established between the noncovalent E.I complex and the covalent (Schiff's base) E-I species. Kinetic data analysis indicates Ki values of 175 and 11 microM for Ado-P2-Pl and Ado-P3-Pl, respectively. Thus, the ATP-binding domain can easily accommodate the pyridoxal moiety which is tethered to the polyphosphate chain. The phosphorylated ATP analogs employed in this study exhibit substantially tighter binding to phosphoribulokinase than does fluorosulfonyl-benzoyladenosine (Ki = 4.8 mM), which we have previously demonstrated to be useful in selectively modifying the ATP-binding domain (Krieger, T. J., and Miziorko, H. M. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 3496-3501; Krieger, T. J., Mende-Mueller, L. M., and Miziorko, H. M. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 915, 112-119). Although the adduct formed between oATP and enzyme was unsuitable for structural analysis, borohydride reduction of the Schiff's base formed between enzyme and Ado-P3-[3H]Pl produced a species useful for investigation by protein chemistry techniques. A radiolabeled tryptic peptide was prepared, isolated, and sequenced; the data indicate that lysine 68 is the residue modified by Ado-P3-[3H]Pl. 相似文献

A study of the reverse reaction of rat brain hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1) has been performed using a photometric method based on a mutarotase-glucose oxidase-peroxidase-chromogen system to trap and visualize glucose, plus a glycerol kinase-glycerol system to trap ATP. Glucose 6-phosphate or 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate were used as phosphoryl donors at different concentrations of ADP. Variation of glucose 6-phosphate concentrations resulted in a biphasic curve from which apparent Km and Ki values of ca. 0.2 mM were calculated. In contrast, variation of 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate concentrations resulted in Michaelian kinetics with an apparent Km of 2 mM. The Km value for MgADP was 16 mM irrespective of the nature and concentration of the hexose 6-phosphate substrate. These results are fully consistent with an allosteric site for glucose 6-phosphate as an explanation for the inhibition of animal hexokinases by glucose 6-P and further indicate that the maximal rate is the parameter affected. From these observations and previous knowledge, the possible occurrence in animal hexokinases of a regulatory site for ATP to account for the competition between glucose 6-phosphate and ATP in the forward reaction is postulated. 相似文献

Ribulose-5-phosphate kinase from maize (Zea mays) can exist in either a reduced, active form or an oxidized, inactive form. Reduced ribulose-5-phosphate kinase is rapidly and irreversibly inactivated by the dichlorotriazine dye Reactive Red 1 (Procion Red MX-2B), but the irreversible inactivation of the oxidized form of ribulose-5-phosphate kinase occurs at only 0.05% of this rate. The rate of inactivation of the reduced enzyme by Reactive Red 1 (apparent bimolecular rate constant 10(4)M-1 X s-1 at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C) is several orders of magnitude greater than previous estimates of the rates of dye-mediated inactivation of other enzymes. The dye-dependent inactivation of the reduced enzyme is inhibited by Hg2+ or p-mercuribenzoate (thiol reagents that reversibly inhibit ribulose-5-phosphate kinase activity), or by ATP and ADP, the nucleotide substrates of the enzyme. Hydrolysed Reactive Red 1, which does not inactivate the enzyme, is a reversible inhibitor of ribulose-5-phosphate kinase. This inhibition is competitive with respect to ATP (Ki approximately 0.5 mM). The dye appears to act as an affinity label for the ATP/ADP-binding site by preferentially arylating a thiol residue generated during the reductive activation of the enzyme that is achieved by dithiothreitol or thioredoxin in vitro or during illumination of leaves. 相似文献

It was recently observed that Leuconostoc oenos GM, a wine lactic acid bacterium, produced erythritol anaerobically from glucose but not from fructose or ribose and that this production was almost absent in the presence of O2. In this study, the pathway of formation of erythritol from glucose in L. oenos was shown to involve the isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate by a phosphoglucose isomerase, the cleavage of fructose 6-phosphate by a phosphoketolase, the reduction of erythrose 4-phosphate by an erythritol 4-phosphate dehydrogenase and, finally, the hydrolysis of erythritol 4-phosphate to erythritol by a phosphatase. Fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase was copurified with xylulose 5-phosphate phosphoketolase, and the activity of the latter was competitively inhibited by fructose 6-phosphate, with a Ki of 26 mM, corresponding to the Km of fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase (22 mM). These results suggest that the two phosphoketolase activities are borne by a single enzyme. Extracts of L. oenos were also found to contain NAD(P)H oxidase, which must be largely responsible for the reoxidation of NADPH and NADH in cells incubated in the presence of O2. In cells incubated with glucose, the concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate and of fructose 6-phosphate were higher in the absence of O2 than in its presence, explaining the stimulation by anaerobiosis of erythritol production. The increase in the hexose 6-phosphate concentration is presumably the result of a functional inhibition of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase because of a reduction in the availability of NADP. 相似文献

Hydrogen peroxide (6x10-4 M) causes a 90% inhibition of CO2-fixation in isolated intact chloroplasts. The inhibition is reversed by adding catalase (2500 U/ml) or DTT (10 mM). If hydrogen peroxide is added to a suspension of intact chloroplasts in the light, the incorporation of carbon into hexose- and heptulose bisphosphates and into pentose monophosphates is significantly increased, whereas; carbon incorporation into hexose monophosphates and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate is decreased. At the same time formation of 6-phosphogluconate is dramatically stimulated, and the level of ATP is increased. All these changes induced by hydrogen peroxide are reversed by addition of catalase or DTT. Additionally, the conversion of [14C]glucose-6-phosphate into different metabolites by lysed chloroplasts in the dark has been studied. In presence of hydrogen peroxide, formation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is inhibited, whereas formation of other bisphosphates,of triose phosphates, and pentose monophosphates is stimulated. Again, DTT has the opposite effect. The release of 14CO2 from added [14C]glucose-6-phosphate by the soluble fraction of lysed chloroplasts via the reactions of oxidative pentose phosphate cycle is completely inhibited by DTT (0.5 mM) and re-activated by comparable concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. These results indicate that hydrogen peroxide interacts with reduced sulfhydryl groups which are involved in the light activation of enzymes of the Calvin cycle at the site of fructose- and sedoheptulose bisphophatase, of phosphoribulokinase, as well as in light-inactivation of oxidative pentose phosphate cycle at the site of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.Abbreviations ADPG

1. The galactose-elimination rate in perfused livers from starved rats was decreased in the presence of ethanol (2-28mM) to one-third of the control values. Orotate injections partly reversed the effect of ethanol, so that the galactose-elimination rate was about two-thirds of the control values. Orotate alone had no effect on the galactose-elimination rate. 2. Ethanol increased [galactose 1-phosphate] and [UDP-galactose], and decreased (UDP-glucose] and [UTP], both with and without orotate. Orotate increased [UTP], [UDP-galactose], both with and without ethanol. The increase of [galactose 1-phosphate] in the presence of ethanol was inhibited by orotate. Orotate alone had no appreciable effect on [galactose 1-phosphate]. 3. Both the effect of ethanol and that of orotate on the galactose-elimination rate can be accounted for by assuming inhibition of galactokinase by galactose 1-phosphate with Ki about 0.2mM, the inhibition being either non-competitive or uncompetitive. 4. The primary effect of ethanol seems to be inhibition of UDP-glucose epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2), followed by accumulation of UDP-galactose, trapping of UDP-glucose and increase of [galactose 1-phosphate]. Orotate decreased the effect of ethanol, probably by increasing [UDP-glucose]. 相似文献

The effects of lithium ion and other agents on the activity of myo-inositol-1-phosphatase from bovine brain 总被引:75,自引:0,他引:75
myo-Inositol-1-phosphatase has been partially purified from bovine brain. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 58,000. Both L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate and D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate are hydrolyzed by the enzyme as well as (-)-chiro-inositol 3-phosphate and 2'-AMP. Triphosphoinositide is not a substrate. The phosphatase is completely dependent on Mg2+, which has a Km of 1 mM. Calcium and manganese ions are competitive inhibitors of Mg2+ binding with Ki values of 18 microM and 2 microM, respectively. Lithium chloride inhibits the hydrolysis of both L- and D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate to the extent of 50% at a concentration of 0.8 mM. The phosphatase from testis is similarly inhibited by lithium. Lithium ion is a noncompetitive inhibitor of Mg2+ binding and an uncompetitive inhibitor of myo-inositol 1-phosphate binding. Because lithium chloride administration elicits both an increase in the levels of myo-inositol 1-phosphate and a decrease in the levels of myo-inositol in rat brain (Allison, 1978), and because these actions are blocked by anticholinergic agents, we examined the effects of cholinergic agonists and antagonists on the enzyme and found none. The possibility that the inhibition of this enzyme by lithium ion is related to the pharmacological actions of lithium is discussed. 相似文献

The kinetic properties of myo-inositol monophosphatase with different substrates were examined with respect to inhibition by fluoride, activation or inhibition by metal ions, pH profiles, and solvent isotope effects. F- is a competitive inhibitor versus 2'-AMP and glycerol 2-phosphate, but noncompetitive (Kis = Kii) versus DL-inositol 1-phosphate, all with Ki values of approximately 45 microM. Activation by Mg2+ follows sigmoid kinetics with Hill constants around 1.9, and random binding of substrate and metal ion. At high concentrations, Mg2+ acts as an uncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 4.0 mM with DL-inositol 1-phosphate at pH 8.0 and 37 degrees C). Activation and inhibition constants, and consequently the optimal concentration of Mg2+, vary considerably with substrate structure and pH. Uncompetitive inhibition by Li+ and Mg2+ is mutually exclusive, suggesting a common binding site. Lithium binding decreases at low pH with a pK value of 6.4, and at high pH with a pK of 8.9, whereas magnesium inhibition depends on deprotonation with a pK of 8.3. The pH dependence of V suggests that two groups with pK values around 6.5 have to be deprotonated for catalysis. Solvent isotope effects on V and V/Km are greater than 2 and 1, respectively, regardless of the substrate, and proton inventories are linear. These results are consistent with a model where low concentrations of Mg2+ activate the enzyme by stabilizing the pentacoordinate phosphate intermediate. Li+ as well as Mg2+ at inhibiting concentrations bind to an additional site in the enzyme-substrate complex. Hydrolysis of the phosphate ester is rate limiting and facilitated by acid-base catalysis. 相似文献
