Kinetic mechanism of NAD:malic enzyme from Ascaris suum in the direction of reductive carboxylation.

چکیده
Initial velocity studies in the absence and presence of product and dead-end inhibitors suggest a steady-state random mechanism for malic enzyme in the direction of reductive carboxylation of pyruvate. For this quadreactant enzymatic reaction (Mn2+ is a pseudoreactant), initial velocity patterns were obtained under conditions in which two substrates were maintained at saturating concentrations while one reactant was varied at several fixed concentrations of the other. Data from the resulting reciprocal plots, analyzed in terms of a bireactant mechanism, are consistent with a sequential mechanism with an obligatory order of addition of metal prior to pyruvate. NAD is competitive against NADH whether pyruvate and CO2 are maintained at low or high concentrations, whereas it is noncompetitive against pyruvate and CO2. Thio-NADH, alpha-ketobutyrate, and nitrite were used as dead-end analogs of NADH, pyruvate, and CO2, respectively. Thio-NADH is competitive against NADH, whereas it is noncompetitive against pyruvate and CO2, in accordance with a random mechanism. alpha-Ketobutyrate and nitrite gave noncompetitive inhibition against all substrates. The noncompetitive patterns observed for alpha-ketobutyrate versus pyruvate and nitrite versus CO2 suggest binding of the inhibitor to both the E.Mn.NADH and E.Mn.NAD complexes. Primary deuterium isotope effects are equal on all kinetic parameters, in agreement with the random mechanism, and suggest equal off-rates for NAD from E.Mn.NAD as well as pyruvate and NADH from E.Mn.NADH.pyruvate. Data are consistent with an overall symmetry in the malic enzyme reaction in the two reaction directions with a requirement for metal bound prior to pyruvate and malate.

Kinetic mechanism of Ascaris suum phosphofructokinase desensitized to allosteric modulation by diethylpyrocarbonate modification.
The kinetic mechanism of phosphofructokinase has been determined at pH 8 for native enzyme and pH 6.8 for an enzyme desensitized to allosteric modulation by diethylpyrocarbonate modification. In both cases, the mechanism is predominantly steady state ordered with MgATP binding first in the direction of fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) phosphorylation and rapid equilibrium random in the direction of M...

Identification of two different phosphofructokinase-phosphorylating protein kinases from Ascaris suum muscle.
Two different phosphofructokinase-phosphorylating protein kinases were separated from extracts of Ascaris suum muscle by chromatography on DEAE-Fractogel. They were tentatively designated phosphofructokinase kinase I and phosphofructokinase kinase II. Phosphofructokinase kinase I eluted from the chromatography column at an ionic strength of 0.07 and contained about 25% of the phosphofructokinas...
متن کاملMSP Dynamics and Retraction in Nematode Sperm
Most eukaryotic cells can crawl over surfaces. In general, this motility requires three distinct actions: polymerization at the leading edge, adhesion to the substrate, and retraction at the rear. Recent in vitro experiments with extracts from spermatozoa from the nematode Ascaris suum suggest that retraction forces are generated by depolymerization of the Major Sperm Protein (MSP) cytoskeleton...
