| Abstract: | The kinetic mechanism of bovine liver argininosuccinate synthetase has been determined at pH 7.5. The initial velocity and product and dead-end inhibition patterns are consistent with the ordered addition of MgATP, citrulline, and aspartate, followed by the ordered release of argininosuccinate, MgPPi, and AMP. The mechanism is also in accord with the formation of citrulline-adenylate as a reactive intermediate O. Rochovansky, and S. Ratner, (1967) J. Biol. Chem. 242, 3839-3849]. No evidence was obtained for nonlinear double-reciprocal plots with any of the three substrates. |
