Abstract: | 1. An active monomeric form of inorganic pyrophosphatase from baker's yeast was prepared by maleylation of the protein at pH 10.5. 2. The dimeric and monomeric pyrophosphatase bound at non-catalytic sites 0.5 and 1.0 mol of slowly dissociating Pi per mol subunit, respectively. This stoichiometry was not affected on active site blockage with PPi. 3. Added Pi accelerated the dissociation of Pi from the dimeric but not monomeric enzyme. 4. Our results indicate a strong interaction to occur between the non-catalytic sites of two subunits of native pyrophosphatase which results in diminished stability of Pi binding to one of them. |
