چکیده

1. The forward and reverse reactions catalysed by ATP-creatine phosphotransferase have been studied kinetically at pH8.0 in the presence and absence of products, under conditions in which the free Mg(2+) concentration was maintained constant at 1mm. Thus at fixed pH the reaction may be considered as being bireactant and expressed as:MgATP(2-)+creatine(0)right harpoon over left harpoonMgADP(-)+phosphocreatine(2-)2. The initial-velocity pattern in the absence of products and the product-inhibition pattern have been determined. These are consistent with a random mechanism in which all steps are in rapid equilibrium except that concerned with the interconversion of the central ternary complexes, and in which two dead-end complexes (enzyme-MgADP-creatine and enzyme-MgATP-phosphocreatine) are formed. The results are in accord with previous suggestions that the enzyme possesses distinct sites for the combination of the nucleotide and guanidino substrates. 3. Values have been determined for the Michaelis and dissociation constants involved in the combination of each substrate with various enzyme forms. Although these values cannot be regarded as absolute, they appear to indicate that the presence of one substrate on the enzyme enhances the combination of the second substrate. In addition, it would seem that in the formation of the enzyme-MgADP-creatine complex the concentration of one reactant does not affect the combination of the other. This contrasts with the formation of the enzyme-MgATP-phosphocreatine complex, where each reactant hinders the combination of the other.

Kinetic Studies of the Reverse Reaction Catalysed by Adenosine Triphosphate-creatine Phosphotransferase. the Inhibition by Magnesium Ions and Adenosine Diphosphate.

1. Kinetic investigations of the reaction catalysed by ATP-creatine phosphotransferase have been carried out. 2. No firm conclusions could be reached about the reaction of Mg(2+) at the nucleotide-binding site of the enzyme. The value of the kinetic constant for this reaction depends on the value used for the apparent stability constant of the metal ion-nucleotide complex and, to a smaller exte...

Isotope exchange studies of the mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by adenosine triphosphate: creatine phosphotransferase.

The mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by adenosine triphosphate : creatine phosphotransferase has been studied by measuring the initial velocities of the exchange with isotopically labeled substrates. The rates of the creatine-phosphocreatine, ATP-ADP, and ADP-ATP exchanges at equilibrium are approximately equal and dependent on the concentrations of Mg2+ and ADP”. The ADP-ATP exchange rate i...

Kinetic studies of the activation of adenosine triphosphate-lombricine phosphotransferase by magnesium ions.

Some general properties of the enzyme, ATPlombricine phosphotransferase (lombricine kinase), which catalyses the reaction: forward ATP + lombricine I-=_ ADP reverse + phospholombricine were described by Gaffney, Rosenberg & Ennor (1964). In common with other ATP-guanidino phosphotransferases (Ennor & Morrison, 1958) this enzyme is activated by Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+ and Co2+ ions. The role of the act...
