Sulphate-activated phosphorylase b: the pH-dependence of catalytic activity.
The pH-dependence of sulphate-activated phosphorylase b has been studied in the direction of glycogen synthesis. The bell-shaped curve of the pH-dependence of the catalytic constant for the AMP-activated enzyme showed pK values of 6.1 and 7.3, but the curve for the enzyme activated by 0.9 M ammonium sulphate showed a drop of activity on the acid side at much higher pH values. Its bell was centr...
متن کاملTryptophan Synthase Uses an Atypical Mechanism To Achieve Substrate Specificity.
Tryptophan synthase (TrpS) catalyzes the final steps in the biosynthesis of l-tryptophan from l-serine (Ser) and indole-3-glycerol phosphate (IGP). We report that native TrpS can also catalyze a productive reaction with l-threonine (Thr), leading to (2S,3S)-β-methyltryptophan. Surprisingly, β-substitution occurs in vitro with a 3.4-fold higher catalytic efficiency for Ser over Thr using saturat...
متن کاملCatalytic mechanism of Chlamydia trachomatis flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase.
Here we report on a Chlamydia trachomatis gene that complements the growth defect of a thymidylate synthase-deficient strain of Escherichia coli. The complementing gene encodes a 60.9-kDa protein that shows low level primary sequence homology to a new class of thymidylate-synthesizing enzymes, termed flavin-dependent thymidylate synthases (FDTS). Purified recombinant chlamydial FDTS (CTThyX) co...
متن کاملStructure and catalytic mechanism of eukaryotic selenocysteine synthase.
In eukaryotes and Archaea, selenocysteine synthase (SecS) converts O-phospho-L-seryl-tRNA [Ser]Sec into selenocysteyl-tRNA [Ser]Sec using selenophosphate as the selenium donor compound. The molecular mechanisms underlying SecS activity are presently unknown. We have delineated a 450-residue core of mouse SecS, which retained full selenocysteyl-tRNA [Ser]Sec synthesis activity, and determined it...
متن کاملCatalytic mechanism of serine proteases: reexamination of the pH dependence of the histidyl 1J13C2-H coupling constant in the catalytic triad of alpha-lytic protease.
L-Histidine, 90% 13C enriched at the C2 position, was incorporated into the catalytic triad of alpha-lytic protease (EC 3.4.21.12) with the aid of histidine-requiring mutant of Lysobacter enzymogenes (ATC 29487), and the pH dependence of the coupling constant between this carbon atom and its directly bonded proton was reinvestigated. The high degree of specific 13C isotopic enrichment attainabl...
