Triethyltin binding to cat haemoglobin was measured after pretreatment of the protein with diethyl pyrocarbonate at pH 6.0,iodoacetamide or phenylmercuric acetate or by photo-oxidation in the presence of Methylene Blue. The pentaco-ordinate nature of the binding of triethyltin to cat haemoglobin is confirmed by the inability of intramolecularly pentaco-ordinate tin compounds to compete. Consideration of the symmetry of the haemoglobin molecule in the light of the above results suggests that a unique arrangement of histidine and cysteine residues is required for the binding of triethyltin. The effects of treatment with diethyl pyrocarbonate of other preparations which bind triethyltin (rat liver supernatant, a fraction from rat liver mitochondria and rat brain myelin) were determined and shown to be complex. 相似文献

Benzodiazepine agonists protect a histidine residue from modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate whereas propyl beta-carboline does not 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The pH sensitivity of benzodiazepine binding suggests that a histidine residue may be present in, or close to the benzodiazepine binding site. This was confirmed by the selective modification of histidine residues using diethyl pyrocarbonate which was found to block both benzodiazepine and beta-carboline binding. In order to assess whether this histidine residue is located in or adjacent to the benzodiazepine and beta-carboline binding sites, experiments were performed using either benzodiazepine or beta-carboline to protect against diethyl pyrocarbonate treatment. It was found that benzodiazepine agonists, but not propyl beta-carboline protect the benzodiazepine binding sites from diethyl pyrocarbonate modification. 相似文献

One molecule of rat haemoglobin binds two molecules of triethyltin. The binding sites are located on the globin and there is co-operativity between the sites such that the intrinsic affinity constant at pH8.0 increases from 3.5x10(5)m(-1) for the binding of the first triethyltin molecule to 5.0x10(5)m(-1) for the binding of the second. Evidence is presented, from pH studies and the kinetics of inhibition due to photo-oxidation, that each binding site contains two histidine residues. 相似文献

Kinetic and thermodynamic studies have been made on the effect of diethyl pyrocarbonate as a histidine modifier on the active site of adenosine deaminase in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 6.8, at 27 degrees C using UV spectrophotometry and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Inactivation of adenosine deaminase by diethyl pyrocarbonate is correlated with modification of histidyl residues. The number of modified histidine residues complexed to active site of adenosine deaminase are equivalent to 4. The number and energy of histidine binding sets are determined by enthalpy curve, which represents triple stages. These stages are composed of 3,1 and 1 sites of histidyl modified residues at diethyl pyrocarbonate concentrations, 0.63, 1.8, 3.3 mM. The heat contents corresponding to the first, second and third sets are found to be 18000, 22000 and 21900 kJ mol(-1) respectively. 相似文献

Insulin binding to rat liver plasma membranes is inhibited in a time- and dose-dependent fashion by prior treatment of membranes with the histidine-specific reagent diethyl pyrocarbonate. If all receptors are occupied by unlabeled hormone during diethyl pyrocarbonate treatment, no inhibition of 125I-labeled insulin binding is observed folowing washout of unlabeled hormone and unreacted reagent. Scatchard analysis of the binding inhibtion due to diethyl pyrocarbonate reveals a loss in receptor number rather than a change in receptor affinity for hormone. Fat cells treated with diethyl pyrocarbonate exhibit a rightward shift in the dose-response relationship for insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation consistent with a loss in receptor number due to the reagent. The pH profile for inhibition of insulin binding by diethyl pyrocarbonate and the partial reversibility of this inhibition by hydroxylamine are consistent with modification of a histidine residue. These results suggest that a histidine residue at or near the receptor binding site is required for formation of the biologically relevant insulin - receptor complex. 相似文献

1. The distribution of triethyl[(113)Sn]tin chloride in the rat, guinea pig and hamster is not uniform, the highest concentrations being in rat blood and the liver of all three species. 2. Subcellular fractionation of rat liver, brain and kidney shows that triethyltin binds to all fractions to different extents. In the liver of the rat and guinea pig the supernatant fraction contains the largest amount and the highest specific concentration; this triethyltin is bound to a non-diffusible component. 3. Rat haemoglobin is responsible for the binding of triethyltin in rat blood (2 moles of triethyltin/mole of haemoglobin). Haemoglobins from other species have much less affinity for triethyltin. 4. A variety of other proteins do not bind triethyltin. 相似文献

1. Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) is inhibited by stoicheiometric concentrations of diethyl pyrocarbonate. The inhibition is due to the acylation of a single histidine residue/monomer (mol.wt. 36000). 2. Alcohol dehydrogenase is also inhibited by stoicheiometric amounts of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate), owing to the modification of a single cysteine residue/monomer. 3. Native alcohol dehydrogenase binds two molecules of reduced coenzyme/molecule of enzyme (mol.wt. 144000). 4. Modification of a single histidine residue/monomer by treatment with diethyl pyrocarbonate prevents the binding of acetamide in the ternary complex, enzyme-NADH-acetamede, but does not prevent the binding of NADH to the enzyme. 5. Modification of a single cysteine residue/monomer does not prevent the binding of acetamide to the ternary complex. After the modification of two thiol groups/monomer by treatment with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate), the capacity of enzyme to bind coenzyme in the ternary complex was virtually abolished. 6. From the results presented in this paper we conclude that at least one histidine and one cysteine residue are closely associated in the substrate-binding site of alcohol dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Conformational change of band 3 protein induced by diethyl pyrocarbonate modification in human erythrocyte ghosts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibited the phosphate exchange across the human erythrocyte membrane. The exchange rate was inhibited only when the membranes were modified with the reagent from the cytosolic surface of resealed ghosts. The intracellular modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibited the extracellular binding of [3H]dihydro-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid to band 3 protein. Furthermore, the extracellular 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid protected the membranes from the intracellular modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate. These results suggest that the extracellular binding of 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid to band 3 protein induces the conformational change of the intracellular counterpart of band 3 protein and the diethyl pyrocarbonate susceptible residue(s) is (are) hidden from the cytosolic surface of the cell membrane in connection with the conformational change. Conversely, under the conditions where the diethyl pyrocarbonate modification is confined to the intracellular side of the membrane, the extracellular binding site of [3H]dihydro-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid is hidden from the cell surface. 相似文献

Triethyltin binds to native cat and rat haemoglobin but not to their denatured forms or to other animal haemoglobins. Two molecules of the organotin bind to one molecule of R-state cat haemoglobin with affinity constants of about 1 X 10(5) M-1. Little or no triethyltin is bound to the deoxygenated (T-state) protein. Binding appears to be dependent upon the existence of a specific three-dimensional configuration of cysteine and histidine residues. The properties of the triethyltin-cat haemoglobin complex are consistent with those of a haemoglobin conformer whose allosteric equilibrium is displaced toward the R-state. Its oxygen affinity and rate of oxidation by nitrite is increased, and the rate of reduction of the methaemoglobin derivative by ascorbate is decreased. These effects of triethyltin are opposite and antagonistic to the effects of inositol hexaphosphate. They are exerted on the alpha- as well as beta-haem groups, even though triethyltin is bound at sites on alpha-globin far removed from the haem groups. 相似文献

Ligand-binding studies with labelled triethyltin on yeast mitochondrial membranes showed the presence of high-affinity sites (KD = 0.6 micronM; 1.2 +/- 0.3 nmol/mg of protein) and low-affinity sites (KD less than 45 micronM; 70 +/- 20 nmol/mg of protein). The dissociation constant of the high-affinity site is in good agreement with the concentration of triethyltin required for inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) and oxidative phosphorylation. The high-affinity site is not competed for by oligomycin or venturicidin, indicating that triethyltin reacts at a different site from these inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. Fractionation of the mitochondrial membrane shows a specific association of the high-affinity sites with the ATP synthase complex. During purification of ATP synthase (oligomycin-sensitive ATPase) there is a 5-6-fold purification of oligomycin- and triethyltin-sensitive ATPase activity concomitant with a 7-9-fold increase in high-affinity triethyltin-binding sites. The purified yeast oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex contains approximately six binding sites for triethyltin/mol of enzyme complex. It is concluded that specific triethyltin-binding sites are components of the ATP synthase complex, which accounts for the specific inhibition of ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation by triethyltin. 相似文献

Chemical and kinetic evidence for an essential histidine in the phosphotriesterase from Pseudomonas diminuta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The pH rate profile for the hydrolysis of diethyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate catalyzed by the phosphotriesterase from Pseudomonas diminuta shows a requirement for the deprotonation of an ionizable group for full catalytic activity. This functional group has an apparent pKa of 6.1 +/- 0.1 at 25 degrees C, delta Hion of 7.9 kcal/mol, and delta Sion of -1.4 cal/K.mol. The enzyme is not inactivated in the presence of the chemical modification reagents dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate), methyl methane thiosulfonate, carbodiimide, pyridoxal, butanedione, or iodoacetic acid and thus cysteine, asparate, glutamate, lysine, and arginine do not appear to be critical for catalytic activity. However, the phosphotriesterase is inactivated completely with methylene blue, Rose Bengal, or diethyl pyrocarbonate. The enzyme is not inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate in the presence of bound substrate analogs, and inactivation with diethyl pyrocarbonate is reversible upon addition of neutralized hydroxylamine. The modification of a single histidine residue by diethyl pyrocarbonate, as shown by spectrophotometric analysis, is responsible for the loss of catalytic activity. The pKinact for diethyl pyrocarbonate modification is 6.1 +/- 0.1 at 25 degrees C. These results have been interpreted to suggest that a histidine residue at the active site of phosphotriesterase is facilitating the reaction by general base catalysis. 相似文献

Diethyl pyrocarbonate, a histidine selective reagent, inhibits estrogen binding to receptor protein in rat uterus cytosol 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We find that at pH 6.1 diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibits estrogen binding to its receptor protein in rat uterus. Hydroxylamine partially reverses this inhibition and estrogen partially protects its receptor protein from this inhibition. We suggest that the estrogen receptor protein in rat uterus contains a nucleophilic site that either overlaps or is near the estrogen binding site. Based on the pH of inhibition reaction, the receptor concentration in the experiment, and the partial reversal of the inhibition by hydroxylamine, we suggest that this site contains a histidine residue or possibly an unusually reactive tyrosine residue that is important for estrogen binding. 相似文献

1. The binding of trimethyltin and triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria was determined and the results were analysed by the method of Scatchard (1949). 2. One binding site (site 1) has the correct characteristics for the site to which trimethyltin and triethyltin are attached when they inhibit oxidative phosphorylation. For each compound the concentration of site 1 is 0.8nmol/mg of protein and the ratios of their affinity constants are the same as the ratio of the concentrations inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation. 3. Binding site 1 is present in a fraction derived from mitochondria containing only 15% of the original protein. In this preparation ultrasonication rapidly destroyed site 1. 4. Dimethyltin and diethyltin do not prevent binding of triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria, whereas triethyl-lead does. 5. Trimethyltin and triethyltin bind to mitochondria from brown adipose tissue and the results indicate a binding site 1 similar to that in rat liver mitochondria. 6. The advantages and limitations of this approach to the study of inhibitors are discussed. 相似文献

Topography of 5.8 S rRNA in rat liver ribosomes. Identification of diethyl pyrocarbonate-reactive sites 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The topography of 5.8 rRNA in rat liver ribosomes has been examined by comparing diethyl pyrocarbonate-reactive sites in free 5.8 S RNA, the 5.8 S-28 rRNA complex, 60 S subunits, and whole ribosomes. The ribosomal components were treated with diethyl pyrocarbonate under salt and temperature conditions which allow cell-free protein synthesis; the 5.8 S rRNA was extracted, labeled in vitro, chemically cleaved with aniline, and the fragments were analyzed by rapid gel-sequencing techniques. Differences in the cleavage patterns of free and 28 S or ribosome-associated 5.8 S rRNA suggest that conformational changes occur when this molecule is assembled into ribosomes. In whole ribosomes, the reactive sites were largely restricted to the "AU-rich" stem and an increased reactivity at some of the nucleotides suggested that a major change occurs in this region when the RNA interacts with ribosomal proteins. The reactivity was generally much less restricted in 60 S subunits but increased reactivity in some residues was also observed. The results further indicate that in rat ribosomes, the two -G-A-A-C- sequences, putative binding sites for tRNA, are accessible in 60 S subunits but not in whole ribosomes and suggest that part of the molecule may be located in the ribosomal interface. When compared to 5 S rRNA, the free 5.8 S RNA molecule appears to be generally more reactive with diethyl pyrocarbonate and the cleavage patterns suggest that the 5 S RNA molecule is completely restricted or buried in whole ribosomes. 相似文献

—A high affinity binding site for triethyltin was found in rat brain myelin with an affinity of approx 6·6 × 105m −1 at pH 7·5. Competitive binding studies showed that triethyl-lcad had about the same affinity and trimethyltin 30 times lower affinity than triethyltin. Hexachlorophane and 3,5-diiodo-4′-chlorosalicylanilide did not prevent triethyltin binding to rat brain myelin. Since triethyltin, hexachlorophane and 3,5-diiodo-4′-chlorosalicylanilide all produce similar oedematous lesions in the brain of rats, whereas triethyl-lead and trimethyltin do not, it is concluded that the high affinity triethyltin binding site either is not involved or is not the only factor in oedema production. 相似文献

Sequence homology of the Escherichia coli YiiP places it within the family of cation diffusion facilitators, a family of membrane transporters that play a central role in regulating cellular zinc homeostasis. Here we describe the first thermodynamic and mechanistic studies of metal binding to a cation diffusion facilitator. Isothermal titration calorimetric analyses of the purified YiiP and binding competitions among Zn(2+), Cd(2+), and Hg(2+) revealed a mutually competitive binding site common to three metal ions and a set of noncompetitive binding sites, including one Cd(2+) site, one Hg(2+) site, and at least one Zn(2+) site, to which the binding of Zn(2+) exhibited partial inhibitions of both Cd(2+) and Hg(2+) bindings. Lowering the pH from 7.0 to 5.5 inhibited binding of Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) to the common site. Further, the enthalpy change of the Cd(2+) binding to the common site was found to be related linearly to the ionization enthalpy of the pH buffer with a slope corresponding to the release of 1.23 H(+) for each Cd(2+) binding. These H(+) effects are consistent with a coupled deprotonation process upon binding of Zn(2+) and Cd(2+). Modification of histidine residues by diethyl pyrocarbonate specifically inhibited Zn(2+) binding to the common binding site, indicating that the mechanism of binding-deprotonation coupling involves a histidine residue(s). 相似文献

The histidine-specific reagent diethyl pyrocarbonate has been used to chemically modify bovine heart cytochrome oxidase. Thirty-two of sixty-seven histidine residues of cytochrome oxidase are accessible to modification by diethyl pyrocarbonate. Effects on the Soret and alpha bands of the heme spectrum indicate disturbance in the environment of one or both of the heme groups. However, diethyl pyrocarbonate modification does not alter the 830-nm absorbance band, suggesting that the environment of CuA is unchanged. Maximal modification of cytochrome oxidase by diethyl pyrocarbonate results in loss of 85-90% of the steay-state electron transfer activity, which can be reversed by hydroxylamine treatment. However, modification of the first 20 histidines does not alter either activity or the heme spectrum, but only when 32 residues have been modified are the activity and heme spectral changes complete. The steady-state kinetic profile of fully modified oxidase is monophasic; the phase corresponding to tight cytochrome c binding and low turnover is retained, whereas the high turnover phase is abolished. Proteoliposomes incorporated with modified oxidase have a 65% lower respiratory control ratio and 40% lower proton pumping stoichiometry than liposomes containing unmodified oxidase. These results are discussed in terms of a redox-linked proton pumping model for energy coupling via cytochrome oxidase. 相似文献

Identification of two essential histidine residues of ribonuclease T2 from Aspergillus oryzae 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Ribonuclease (RNase) T2 from Aspergillus oryzae was modified by diethyl pyrocarbonate and iodoacetic acid. RNase T2 was rapidly inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate above pH 6.0 and by incorporation of a carboxymethyl group. No inactivation occurred in the presence of 3'AMP. 1H-NMR titration and photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization experiments demonstrated that two histidine residues were involved in the active site of RNase T2. Furthermore, analysis of inactive carboxymethylated RNase T2 showed that both His53 and His115 were partially modified to yield a total of one mole of N tau-carboxymethylhistidine/mole enzyme. The results indicate that the two histidine residues in the active site of RNase T2 are essential for catalysis and that modification of either His53 or His115 inactivates the enzyme. 相似文献

Inhibitory effect of diethyl pyrocarbonate on the H+/organic cation antiport system in rat renal brush-border membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We examined the effect of diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), a histidine-specific reagent, on the H+/organic cation antiport system in brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from the rat renal cortex. Pretreatment of membrane vesicles with DEPC resulted in the inhibition of tetraethylammonium transport. This inhibition was reversed by subsequent treatment with hydroxylamine, but not with dithiotreitol. In contrast, the uptake of p-aminohippurate, a typical organic anion, was not inhibited by DEPC pretreatment. In the absence of an H+ gradient, pretreatment with DEPC inhibited the uptake of tetraethylammonium at pH 6.0-7.0, but not at pH 7.5. The Vmax value of tetraethylammonium uptake at pH 7.0 was decreased without any change in the Km value, but the kinetic parameters at pH 7.5 were unchanged. Unlabeled tetraethylamonium did not protect against the inhibition by DEPC. These results suggest that histidine residues in the organic cation carrier are essential for transport at acidic and neutral pH values, but not at alkaline pH values, and that histidine residues play an important role as regulatory sites in the H+/organic cation antiport system rather than as binding sites for organic cations. 相似文献

The binding of [N-MeCys3,N-MeCys7]TANDEM has been examined by DNase I footprinting and diethyl pyrocarbonate modification of several synthetic DNA fragments containing AT-rich regions. DNase I footprinting reveals that at low concentrations the ligand binds preferentially to the center of (AT)n regions. A fragment containing the tetranucleotide AATT was unaffected by the ligand. Diethyl pyrocarbonate modification of several fragments containing blocks of (AT)n revealed a pattern in which alternate adenines were rendered more reactive in the presence of the ligand. These reactive adenines were staggered across the two DNA strands in the 3'-direction, consistent with ligand binding to the dinucleotide TpA. In sequences of the type (TAA)n.(TTA)n, binding of [N-MeCys3,N-MeCys7]TANDEM resulted in strong modification of the second adenine in the sequence TAA, i.e., the base on the 3'-side of the ligand binding site. Data for binding to (AT)n are best explained by suggesting that the adenines sandwiched between the quinoxaline chromophores are rendered most reactive to diethyl pyrocarbonate. 相似文献
