Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) present in the tail muscle of the lobster (H. vulgaris) exhibits substrate (pyruvate and L-lactate) inhibition which is temperature-dependent. Such inhibitions can be related to the formation of stable LDH-NAD +-pyruvate and LDH-NADH-lactate complexes. The apparent Km of pyruvate and L-lactate increase when the temperature rises above 12°. These temperature-dependent kinetic properties may play a major role in determining the metabolic fate of pyruvate.  相似文献

An extracellular acid phosphatase secreted into the medium during growth of Tetrahymena pryiformis strain W was purified about 900-fold by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The purified acid phosphatase was homogenous as judged by polycrylamide gel electrophoresis and was found to be a glycoprotein. Its carbohydrate content was about 10% of the total protein content. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 120 000 as determined by gel filtration and 61 000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polycrylamide gel electrophoresis. The acid phosphatase thus appears to consist of two subunits of equal size. The amino acid analysis revealed a relatively high content of asparic acid, glutamic acid and leucine. The purified acid phosphatase from Tetrahymena had a rather broad substrate specificity; it hydrolyzed organic phosphates, nucleotide phosphates and hexose phosphates, but had no diesterase activity. The Km values determined with p-nitrophenyl phosphate, adenosine 5′-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate were 3.1·10?4 M, 3.9·10?4 M and 1.6·10?3 M, respectively. The optima pH for hydrolysis of three substrates were similar (pH 4.6). Hg2+ and Fe3+ at 5 mM were inhibitory for the purified acid phosphatase, and fluoride, L-(+)-tartaric acid and molybdate also inhibited its cavity at low concentrations. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by NaF (Ki=5.6·10?4 M) and by L-(+)-tartaric acid (Ki = 8.5·10?5 M), while it was inhibited noncompetitively by molybdate Ki = 5.0·10?6 M). The extracellular acid phosphatase purified from Tetrahymena was indistinguishable from the intracellular enzyme in optimum pH, Km, thermal stability and inhibition by NaF.  相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase enzyme was immobilized by binding to a cyanogen bromideactivated Sepharose 4B-200 in 0.1 m phosphate buffer, pH 8.5. The immobilized enzyme was found to have lower Km values for its substrates. Km values for pyruvate and lactate were 8 × 10 ?5m and 4 × 10?3m, respectively, an order of magnitude less than the value for the native (free) enzyme. Chicken heart (H4) lactate dehydrogenase was found to lose nearly all its substrate inhibition characteristics as a result of immobilization. The covalently bound muscle-type subunits of lactate dehydrogenase showed more favorable interaction with the muscle type than with the heart type subunits. An increase in thermal and acid stability of the dogfish muscle (M4) lactate dehydrogenase as well as a decrease in the percentage of inhibition of enzyme activity by rabbit antisera and in the complement fixation was observed as a result of immobilization. The changes in the properties of the enzyme as a result of immobilization may be attributable to hindrance produced by the insoluble matrix as well as conformational changes in the enzyme molecules.  相似文献

The lactic dehydrogenase (l-lactate: NAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27, LDH)of Trichomonas gallinae was characterized and some of its regulatory properties studied. Electrophoretic analysis, with specific enzymatic staining of crude and dialyzed cell-free extracts and dialyzed ammonium sulfate fractions, all revealed a single band of enzymatic activity suggesting only one molecular form of the enzyme. The pH optima were found to be the following: 7.0 in the pyruvate to lactate direction and 9.0 in the reverse direction. Thermal inactivation studies showed a narrow temperature optimum peaking at 35 C. The Km values for all four reaction components were determined and found to be: NADH, 70 μm; pyruvate, 88 μm; NAD, 65 μm; and l-lactate, 4.6 mM. T. gallinae LDH was absolutely specific for NAD, NADH, l-lactate, and pyruvate. The enzyme exhibited negative cooperativity, with both NADH and l-lactate, as evidenced by curvilinear Lineweaver-Burk kinetics and Hill coefficients of less than one. Several glycolytic intermediates lowered the Km of NADH with variable effects on the Km of pyruvate. The regulation of LDH by glycolytic intermediates is discussed.  相似文献

It has been found, that ammonium sulfate is effective not only in stabilizing, but also in stimulating the activity of formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (E. C. 6, 3. 4. 3) purified approximately 500-fold from pea seedlings. Kinetic studies have indicated that the stimulation by ammonium sulfate is due to the enhancement of the binding of the substrate, formate, with the enzyme. The binding of the another substrate, FAH4, with the enzyme was not affected by the addition of ammonium sulfate. The enzyme activity was inhibited by various sulfhydryl reagents, and the inhibition by PCMB was overcome by the addition of l-cysteine. The inhibition by PCMB was competitive with FAH4, and the Ki value for PCMB was 0.8 × 10?6m.  相似文献

Radioactive sucrose, supplied through the cut base to Pisum sativum epicotyls, was transported to the growing apex (plumule and hook) and used there for the synthesis mainly of uridine diphosphoglucose (UDP- glucose), fructose and cell wall glucan. Enzyme extracts of the apical tissue contained sucrose synthetase activity which was freely reversible, i.e. formed UDP-glucose and fructose from sucrose (pH optimum = 6·6 for the cleavage reaction, Km for sucrose = 63 mM). Particulate fractions of the same tissue contained a β-glucan synthetase which utilized UDP-glucose for formation of alkali-soluble and -insoluble products (pH optimum = 8·4, Km for UDP-glucose = 1·9 mM). Values for Vmax and yields of these two synthetase activities were sufficient to account for observed rates of cellulose deposition during epicotyl growth (15–25 μg/hr/epicotyl). When soluble pea enzyme was supplied with sucrose and UDP at pH 6·6 and then the preparation was supplemented with particles bearing β-glucan synthetase at pH 8·4, the glucose moiety of sucrose was converted to glucan in vitro. The results indicate that it is feasible for these synthetases to co-operate in vivo to generate β-glucan for expanding cell walls.  相似文献

Lobster tail and leg lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) have been characterized kinetically. The four binding sites for reduced coenzyme have been shown to be equivalent for the enzyme purified from lobster tail muscle. For the reduced form of 3-acetyl pyridineadenine dinucleotide, the Ka = 1.4 × 107 M?1 S?1. The activity of the enzyme purified from the tail muscle is severely inhibited (90%) by high levels of pyruvate (10 mm) when assayed for pyruvate reductase activity at 11 °C; the reductase activity measured using the enzyme from the walking leg muscle was not inhibited by these high levels of pyruvate. Evidence is presented which indicates that the LDH from the tail muscle of the East Coast lobster forms an abortive ternary complex (enzyme-NAD+-pyruvate) which accounts for these inhibitory kinetics. The data suggest that the LDH from the tail muscles of the invertebrate lobster represents a “kinetic” heart-type l-specific LDH and that from the walking legs, a “kinetic” muscle-type l-specific LDH.  相似文献

Reactions of glycine cleavage were assayed in mitochondria isolated from cotyledons of germinating pea seeds. These reactions, which included the exchange of bicarbonate with C-1 of glycine and an NAD-stimulated decarboxylation of glycine, were maximal under aerobic conditions at pH 7·8. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constants for glycine and bicarbonate in the exchange reaction were 1·8 and 12·5 mM respectively. The Km for NAD in the decarboxylation reaction was 47 μM. Maximal enzyme activity was observed when mitochon-drial integrity was maintained. Up to 40% inhibition of the decarboxylation reaction was observed when NADH, NADPH or l-methionine were added to the reaction system. When glycine-[2-14C] was incubated with the isolated mitochondria, labelled CO2 was evolved in nanomolar quantities. It is concluded that glycine decarboxylase may be of importance in supplying C-1 units for the de novo synthesis of methionine in pea mitochondria.  相似文献

Some of the properties of a partially purified preparation of phosphofructokinase (PFK) from Moniezia expansa are described. PFK has a pH optimum between 7·4 and 8·0, and is activated by magnesium and divalent manganese ions. It exhibits sigmoid kinetics with fructose-6-phosphate, and ATP decreases the affinity of the enzyme for F6P. This inhibition is partially relieved by F6P, AMP and ammonium ions. GTP and ITP act as substrates for the PFK reaction but do not exert the same inhibitory effects. The effect of ATP on pyruvate kinase was also examined, and was found to inhibit both the activated and inactivated enzyme. Apparent Km's for both enzymes are presented.Generally, PFK and pyruvate kinase from M. expansa show properties similar to the enzymes from mammalian sources. The presence of sigmoid kinetics for F6P and ATP at pH8 is, however, a significant departure from what is observed in PFK from mammalian sources. Possibilities exist in M. expansa for controls of metabolism similar to those found in mammalian tissues.  相似文献

Hexokinase II of Pea Seeds   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
A second hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) was obtained from pea seed (Pisum sativum L. var. Progress No. 9) extracts. The enzyme, termed hexokinase II, had a high affinity (Km, 48 micromolar) for glucose and a relatively low affinity (Km, 10 millimolar) for fructose. The Km for MgATP was 86 micromolar. Mg2+ was required for activity, but excess Mg2+ was inhibitory. MgADP inhibited hexokinase II. The addition of salts of monovalent cations increased hexokinase II activity. Al3+ was a strong inhibitor of the enzyme at pH 6.6 but not at the optimum pH (8.2). Citrate and 3-phosphoglycerate activated pea seed hexokinase II at pH 6.6, probably by coordinating with aluminum present as a contaminant in commercial ATP. The properties of hexokinase II are compared with those of the other three hexose kinases obtained from pea seed extracts. The possible role of these enzymes in plant carbohydrate metabolism is discussed.  相似文献

A soluble enzyme which converts proline to glutamic acid using NAD as coenzyme was isolated from young prothallia and spores of the fern Anemia phyllitidis. The purification was about 36-fold. The pH optimum is between 10·2 and 10·7; the Km for proline is 4·6 × 10−4 M and for NAD 3·4 × 10−4 M. There are no multiple forms of this enzyme, as proved by gel electrophoresis.  相似文献

Arginase activity (3.1 ± 0.5 units/g (wet wt) of tissue) was found associated to the cytosolic fraction of the gill cells of the bivalve Semele solida. The enzyme, with a molecular weight of 120,000 ± 3000, was partially purified, and some of the enzymic properties were were examined. The activation of the enzyme by Mn2+ followed hyperbolic kinetics with a KMn value of 0.10 ± 0.02 μM. In addition to Mn2+, the metal ion requirement of the enzyme was satisfied by Ni2+, Cd2+ and Co2+; Zn2+ was inhibitory to ail the Values of Km for arginine and Ki for lysine inhibition, were the same, regardless of the metal ion used to activate the enzyme; Km values were 20 mM at pH 7.5 and 12 mM at the optimum pH of 9.5. Competitive inhibition was caused by ornithine, lysine and proline, whereas branched chain amino acids were non competitive inhibitors of the enzyme.  相似文献

Procedures are described for isolating highly purified porcine liver pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. Rabbit serum stabilized these enzyme complexes in mitochondrial extracts, apparently by inhibiting lysosomal proteases. The complexes were purified by a three-step procedure involving fractionation with polyethylene glycol, pelleting through 12.5% sucrose, and a second fractionation under altered conditions with polyethylene glycol. Sedimentation equilibrium studies gave a molecular weight of 7.2 × 106 for the liver pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Kinetic parameters are presented for the reaction catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and for the regulatory reactions catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase. For the overall catalytic reaction, the competitive Ki to Km ratio for NADH versus NAD+ and acetyl CoA versus CoA were 4.7 and 5.2, respectively. Near maximal stimulations of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase by NADH and acetyl CoA were observed at NADH:NAD+ and acetyl CoA:CoA ratios of 0.15 and 0.5, respectively. The much lower ratios required for enhanced inactivation of the complex by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase than for product inhibition indicate that the level of activity of the regulatory enzyme is not directly determined by the relative affinity of substrates and products of catalytic sites in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. In the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase reaction, K+ and NH+4 decreased the Km for ATP and the competitive inhibition constants for ADP and (β,γ-methylene)adenosine triphosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate strongly inhibited kinase activity. A high concentration of ADP did not alter the degree of inhibition by thiamine pyrophosphate nor did it increase the concentration of thiamine pyrophosphate required for half-maximal inhibition.  相似文献

An aryl acylamidase (aryl-acylamine amidohydrolase, E.C. 3.5. 1.a) which hydrolyses the herbicide propanil (3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide), was isolated from dandelion roots and partially purified and characterized. Specificity tests on the enzyme revealed that it could hydrolyse various chlorine ring-substituted propionanilides and 3,4-dichloroanilide alkyl compounds. The partially purified enzyme was inhibited by several sulfhydryl reagents and metal ions. The pH optimum was broad, between 7·4 and 7·8. The apparent activation energy, determined from an Arrhenius plot, was 9·0 kcal/mol (37 700 J/mol) for the hydrolysis of 3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide. The apparent Km was 1·7 × 10−4 M with propanil as substrate.  相似文献

The subcellular localization of hexose phosphorylating activity in extracts of pea stems has been studied by differential centrifugation and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) was associated with the mitochondria, whereas fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) was in the cytosolic fraction. Some properties of the mitochondrial hexokinase were studied. The enzyme had a high affinity for glucose (Km 76 micromolar) and mannose (Km 71 micromolar) and a relatively low affinity for fructose (Km 15.7 millimolar). The Km for MgATP was 180 micromolar. The addition of salts stimulated the activity of the hexokinase. Al3+ was a strong inhibitor at pH 7 but not at the optimum pH (8.2). The enzyme was not readily solubilized but, in experiments with intact mitochondria, was susceptible to proteolysis. A location on the outer mitochondrial membrane is suggested for the hexokinase of pea stems.  相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has a crucial role in maintaining ATP production as the terminal enzyme in anaerobic glycolysis. This study will determine the effect of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) on the activity of LDH in the foot muscle and hepatopancreas of an estivating snail, Otala lactea. LDH in foot muscle of O. lactea was purified to homogeneity and partially purified in hepatopancreas in a two-step and three-step process, respectively. The kinetic properties and stability of these isoforms were determined where there was a significant difference in Km and I50 values with pyruvate and urea separately in foot muscle; however, hepatopancreas exhibited significant differences in Km and I50 in salt between control and stress. Interestingly, hepatopancreas has a higher affinity for pyruvate in the control state whereas foot muscle has a higher affinity for its substrate in the estivated state. PTMs of each isoform were identified using immunoblotting and dot blots, which prove to be significantly higher in the control state. Overall, foot muscle LDH enters a low phosphorylation state during estivation allowing more efficiency in consuming pyruvate with higher thermal stability but less structural stability. Hepatopancreas LDH becomes dephosphorylated in the estivating snail that decreases the efficiency of the enzyme in the forward direction; however, the snail has an increased tolerance to the presence of salt when water becomes scarce. Such tissue-specific regulations indicate the organism’s ability to reduce energy consumption when undergoing metabolic depression.  相似文献

Potato tuber phosphofructokinase was purified 19·.6-fold by a combination of ethanol fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The enzyme was very unstable; its pH optimum was 8·0. Km for fructose-6-phosphate, ATP and Mg2+ was 2·1 × 10?4 M, 4·5 × 10?5 M and 4·0 × 10?4 M respectively. ITP, GTP, UTP and CTP can act as phosphate donors, but are less active than ATP. Inhibition of enzyme activity by high levels of ATP was reversed by increasing the concentration of fructose-6-phosphate; the affinity of enzyme for fructose-6-phosphate decreased with increasing concentration of ATP. 5′-AMP, 3′,5′-AMP, 3′-AMP, deoxy AMP, UMP, IMP, CMP, GMP, ADP, CDP, GDP and UDP did not reverse the inhibition of enzyme by ATP. ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate and citrate inhibited phosphofructokinase activity but Pi did not affect it. Phosphofructokinase was not reactivated reversibly by mild change of pH and addition of effectors.  相似文献

Fructokinase (Fraction III) of Pea Seeds   总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
A second fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) was obtained from pea seed (Pisum sativum L. var. Progress No. 9) extracts. The enzyme, termed fructokinase (fraction III), was specific for fructose and had little activity with glucose. With fructose concentrations above 0.25 millimolar, there was strong substrate inhibition at the optimum pH (8.0) and also at pH 6.6. The apparent Km values at pH 8.0 for fructose and glucose were 0.06 millimolar and 0.14 millimolar, respectively. The apparent Km for Mg adenosine 5′-triphosphate (MgATP) was 0.06 millimolar and excess MgATP was inhibitory. Mg2+ was essential for activity but the enzyme was inhibited by excess Mg2+ or ATP. Mg adenosine 5′-pyrophosphate was also inhibitory. Activity was stimulated by the addition of monovalent cations: of those tested K+, Rb+, and NH4+ were the most effective. The possible role of fructokinase (fraction III) is discussed.  相似文献

Oat leaves contain a β-glucosidase (= avenacosidase) specific for the cleavage of the C-26 bound glucose moiety of the oat saponins avenacosides A and B. This transformation activates the fungitoxicities of the avenacosides. Evidence is presented that this enzyme is bound to the tonoplast membrane. The solubilized enzyme showed a pH optimum of 6.0–7.0, a temperature optimum around 40°, a molecular weight of 68 000±3000 and a Km of 183 (±16) μM. The enzyme is inhibited by Hg2+ (10-2 M) but not by Cu2+ (10-2 M).  相似文献

The transaminations of L-tryptophan (L-trp) and of L-phenylalanine (L-phe) are catalysedin vitro by the same non-specific aminotransferase. The transaminations procceed at the same pH (pH 8.5) and temperature (45 °C) optima, have parallel increases in activity with addition of the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate (PRP) and have identical elution characteristics in gel chromatography. The enzyme from pea seedlings has a relatively weak affinity for both amino acids (Km L-trp = 4.16 × 10−1 mmol 1−1; Km L-phe = 2.10 × 10−1 mmol 1−1). Differences in affinity for a series of keto acids in the pea enzyme were observed, with pyruvate having the strongest and glyoxylate the weakest affinity. Transamination of L-trp and L-phe was demonstrated by enzyme extracts from pea, maize and tomato, but was not detected in kohlrabi. The amino acids L-asparagine (L-asn), L-phe, L-lysine (L-lys), L-methionine (L-met) have distinct inhibitory effects on the transamination of L-trp. Indolylacetylaspartate and tryptophol were shown to be competitive inhibitors. The regulation at the molecular level of L-trp transaminase activity is discussed.  相似文献
