Kinetics of the cooperative binding of glucose to dimeric yeast hexokinase P-I.

چکیده
Kinetic studies of the cooperative binding of glucose to yeast hexokinase P-I at pH 6.5 have been carried out using the fluorescence temperature-jump technique. Three relaxation effects were observed: a fast low-amplitude effect which could only be resolved at low glucose concentrations (tau 1(-1) = 500-800 s-1), an intermediate effect (tau 2) which showed a linear dependence of reciprocal relaxation time on concentration, and a slow effect (tau 3) which showed a curved dependence on glucose concentration, increasing from approximately 28 s-1 at low concentrations to 250 s-1 at high levels. The findings are interpreted in terms of the concerted Monod-Wyman-Changeux mechanism, the two faster relaxations being assigned to binding to the R and T states, and the slow relaxation to isomerization between the states. Quantitative fitting of the kinetic data to the mechanism has been carried out using independent estimates of the equilibrium parameters of the model; these have been derived from equilibrium dialysis data and by determining the enhancement of the intrinsic ATPase activity of the enzyme by the non-phosphorylatable sugar lyxose, which switches the conformation of the enzyme to the active R state.

Interaction of tetraiodofluorescein with yeast hexokinase.
The dye tetraiodofluorescein (TIF) was found to be an effective inhibitor of yeast hexokinase. It is a competitive inhibitor relative to MgATP2- and a noncompetitive inhibitor of glucose binding, a kinetic pattern consistent with the previously proposed random kinetic mechanism. TIF interacts directly with the native dimeric protein to give a difference spectrum with a maximum at 543 nm. Monome...
متن کاملHigh resolution crystal structures of yeast hexokinase complexes with substrates, activators, and inhibitors. Evidence for an allosteric control site.
The structures of both monomeric and dimeric yeast hexokinase complexed with sugar and nucleotide substrates and analogues have been determined at 3.5 to 2.7 b resolution. The most striking finding is that there are two kinds of nucleotide binding sites in the dimeric enzyme. We conclude that one kind of site, the A site, binds the ATP involved in the kinase reaction while the other site, the I...

Background & Aim: Hexokinase type I is the most predominant form of the enzyme in brain. It binds reversibly to the outer mitochondria membrane. In normal condition the major part of the enzyme binds to the membrane. Membrane bound form of the enzyme is more active than the soluble form, so this is more a control mechanism of the enzyme activity. Those metabolites that affect the binding or...
متن کاملThe high resolution crystal structure of yeast hexokinase PII with the correct primary sequence provides new insights into its mechanism of action.
Hexokinase is the first enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, catalyzing the transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to glucose to form glucose 6-phosphate and ADP. Two yeast hexokinase isozymes are known, namely PI and PII. The crystal structure of yeast hexokinase PII from Saccharomyces cerevisiae without substrate or competitive inhibitor is determined and refined in a tetragonal crystal form at...
