A kinetic study of irreversible enzyme inhibition by an inhibitor that is rendered unstable by enzymic catalysis. The inhibition of polyphenol oxidase by L-cysteine.

ABSTRACT: A kinetic study of the irreversible inhibition of an enzyme by an inhibitor that is depleted in the medium by its reaction with the product of enzymic analysis was made. The model is illustrated by the study of the inhibition of catecholase activity of polyphenol oxidase by L-cysteine. The inhibition is characterized by an initial lag period followed by a concomitant decrease in enzymic activity expressed when the steady state is reached, both kinetic parameters being modulated by enzyme, substrate and inhibitor concentrations. There is no analytical solution to the non-linear differential-equation system that describes the kinetics of the reaction, and so computer simulations of this dynamic behaviour are presented. The results obtained show that the system here studied presents kinetic co-operativity for a target enzyme that follows the simple Michaelis-Menten mechanism in its action on the substrate.

An In Vitro Catalysis of Tea Polyphenols by Polyphenol Oxidase.

Project description:Tea polyphenol (TPs) oxidation caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in manufacturing is responsible for the sensory characteristics and health function of fermented tea, therefore, this subject is rich in scientific and commercial interests. In this work, an in vitro catalysis of TPs in liquid nitrogen grinding of sun-dried green tea leaves by PPO was developed, and the changes in metabolites were analyzed by metabolomics. A total of 441 metabolites were identified in the catalyzed tea powder and control check samples, which were classified into 11 classes, including flavonoids (125 metabolites), phenolic acids (67 metabolites), and lipids (55 metabolites). The relative levels of 28 metabolites after catalysis were decreased significantly (variable importance in projection (VIP) > 1.0, p < 0.05, and fold change (FC) < 0.5)), while the relative levels of 45 metabolites, including theaflavin, theaflavin-3'-gallate, theaflavin-3-gallate, and theaflavin 3,3'-digallate were increased significantly (VIP > 1.0, p < 0.05, and FC > 2). The increase in theaflavins was associated with the polymerization of catechins catalyzed by PPO. This work provided an in vitro method for the study of the catalysis of enzymes in tea leaves.

Insight of Polyphenol Oxidase Enzyme Inhibition and Total Polyphenol Recovery from Cocoa Beans.

Project description:A full factorial design (ascorbic acid/l-cysteine inhibitors, temperature, and time as factors) study was conducted to enhance inhibition of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity without decreasing cocoa polyphenol concentrations. The data obtained were modelled through a new equation, represented by Γ, which correlates both high polyphenol content with reduced specific PPO activity. At optimized values (70 mM inhibitory solution at 96 °C for 6.4 min, Γ = 11.6), 93.3% PPO inhibition and total polyphenol of 94.9 mg GAE/g were obtained. In addition, microscopy images confirmed the cell morphological changes measured as the fractal dimension and explained the possible cell lysis and denaturation as a result of heat treatment and chemical inhibitors. Results also showed that PPO enzyme was most suitable (higher vmax/Km ratio) for catechol, with a reduction in its affinity of 13.7-fold after the inhibition heat treatment. Overall, this work proposed a suitable and food-safe procedure for obtaining enriched polyphenol extract with low enzyme activity.

pH-induced kinetic co-operativity of a thylakoid-bound polyphenol oxidase.

Project description:A study of the catecholase activity of a latent plant polyphenol oxidase, extracted and purified from the chloroplast membranes of grapes (Vitis vinifera cv. Airen), revealed for the first time a lag phase above pH 5.0, whereas a steady-state rate was reached immediately when pH values were lower, thus suggesting the hysteretic nature of the enzyme. During steady state, the enzyme showed negative co-operativity concomitant with the presence of the lag period, and followed classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics under more acid pH conditions. Statistical analysis of these data showed a minimal value for the extreme Hill coefficient of 0.54 at pH 6.0. This kinetic behaviour of polyphenol oxidase has been interpreted in terms of the pH-induced 'slow' transition mechanism reported by Ricard, Noat & Nari [(1984) Eur. J. Biochem. 145, 311-317] in which the conformational change does not affect the active site of the enzyme.

Analysis of kinetic data for irreversible enzyme inhibition.

Project description:Many organophosphorus compounds are irreversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. The methods used in the literature to determine the inhibition kinetic constants usually involve either manual determination of the slope at various points along the inhibition progress curve or fitting polynomials to the curve. The present study investigates the use of non-linear-regression analysis to determine the various parameters. A method is suggested that yields accurate values for the inhibition constants under a range of circumstances.

Computer simulations of the kinetics of irreversible enzyme inhibition by an unstable inhibitor.

Project description:Computer simulations of the irreversible inhibition of an enzyme by an unstable inhibitor are presented. Data obtained at the end point of reaction are shown to conform poorly in many situations with relationships derived from integrated rate equations by setting t = infinity, and the implications concerning the experimental use of this method to determine kinetic constants describing inactivation are considered. The alternative approach of conducting experiments under conditions of inhibitor excess over enzyme is further discussed, and a graphical procedure is suggested for the description of time courses of reaction of enzyme with unstable inhibitor when an enzyme-inhibitor adsorptive complex is involved.

Inhibition of apricot polyphenol oxidase by combinations of plant proteases and ascorbic acid.

Project description:The present research investigates the long term inhibition of enzymatic browning by inactivating the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of apricot, using combinations of plant proteases and ascorbic acid (AA). The selected proteases were able to inactivate PPO at pH 4.5, with the degree of inactivation proportional to incubation time and protease concentration. Papain was the most effective protease, with 50 μg completely inactivating PPO in less than one hour. AA prevented browning reactions that occur before or during PPO inactivation by protease. The combinations of AA/proteases were highly effective in vitro, where 2 mM AA/500 μg proteases inhibited PPO activity completely over 24 h. The combination of AA/proteases was also effective in vivo, as treated apricot purees preserved their color (p < 0.0001, compared to untreated samples after 10 days of storage). The results demonstrate that AA/proteases combinations constitute a promising practical anti-browning method with feasible application in the food industry.

Irreversible inactivation of snake venom l-amino acid oxidase by covalent modification during catalysis of l-propargylglycine.

Project description:Snake venom l-amino acid oxidase (SV-LAAO, a flavor-enzyme) has attracted considerable attention due to its multifunctional nature, which is manifest in diverse clinical and biological effects such as inhibition of platelet aggregation, induction of cell apoptosis and cytotoxicity against various cells. The majority of these effects are mediated by H2O2 generated during the catalytic conversion of l-amino acids. The substrate analog l-propargylglycine (LPG) irreversibly inhibited the enzyme from Crotalus adamanteus and Crotalus atrox in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Inactivation was irreversible which was significantly protected by the substrate l-phenylalanine. A Kitz-Wilson replot of the inhibition kinetics suggested formation of reversible enzyme-LPG complex, which occurred prior to modification and inactivation of the enzyme. UV-visible and fluorescence spectra of the enzyme and the cofactor strongly suggested formation of covalent adduct between LPG and an active site residue of the enzyme. A molecular modeling study revealed that the FAD-binding, substrate-binding and the helical domains are conserved in SV-LAAOs and both His223 and Arg322 are the important active site residues that are likely to get modified by LPG. Chymotrypsin digest of the LPG inactivated enzyme followed by RP-HPLC and MALDI mass analysis identified His223 as the site of modification. The findings reported here contribute towards complete inactivation of SV-LAAO as a part of snake envenomation management.

Human xylosyltransferase I: functional and biochemical characterization of cysteine residues required for enzymic activity.

Project description:XT-I (xylosyltransferase I) is the initial enzyme in the post-translational biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains in proteoglycans. To gain insight into the structure-function relationship of the enzyme, a soluble active form of human XT-I was expressed in High Five insect cells with an apparent molecular mass of 90 kDa. Analysis of the electrophoretic mobility of the protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions indicated that soluble XT-I does not form homodimers through disulphide bridges. In addition, the role of the cysteine residues was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis combined with chemical modifications of XT-I by N-phenylmaleimide. Replacement of Cys471 or Cys574 with alanine led to a complete loss of catalytic activity, indicating the necessity of these residues for maintaining an active conformation of soluble recombinant XT-I by forming disulphide bonds. On the other hand, N-phenylmaleimide treatment showed no effect on wild-type XT-I but strongly inactivated the cysteine mutants in a dose-dependant manner, indicating that seven intramolecular disulphide bridges are formed in wild-type XT-I. The inhibitory effect of UDP on the XT-I activity of C561A (Cys561-->Ala) mutant enzyme was significantly reduced compared with all other tested cysteine mutants. In addition, we tested for binding to UDP-agarose beads. The inactive mutants revealed no significantly different nucleotide-binding properties. Our study demonstrates that recombinant XT-I is organized as a monomer with no free thiol groups and strongly suggests that the catalytic activity does not depend on the presence of free thiol groups, furthermore, we identified five cysteine residues which are critical for enzyme activity.

Kinetic and structural evidence that Asp-678 plays multiple roles in catalysis by the quinoprotein glycine oxidase.

Project description:PlGoxA from Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea is a glycine oxidase that utilizes a protein-derived cysteine tryptophylquinone (CTQ) cofactor. A notable feature of its catalytic mechanism is that it forms a stable product-reduced CTQ adduct that is not hydrolyzed in the absence of O2 Asp-678 resides near the quinone moiety of PlGoxA, and an Asp is structurally conserved in this position in all tryptophylquinone enzymes. In those other enzymes, mutation of that Asp results in no or negligible CTQ formation. In this study, mutation of Asp-678 in PlGoxA did not abolish CTQ formation. This allowed, for the first time, studying the role of this residue in catalysis. D678A and D678N substitutions yielded enzyme variants with CTQ, which did not react with glycine, although glycine was present in the crystal structures in the active site. D678E PlGoxA was active but exhibited a much slower k cat This mutation altered the kinetic mechanism of the reductive half-reaction such that one could observe a previously undetected reactive intermediate, an initial substrate-oxidized CTQ adduct, which converted to the product-reduced CTQ adduct. These results indicate that Asp-678 is involved in the initial deprotonation of the amino group of glycine, enabling nucleophilic attack of CTQ, as well as the deprotonation of the substrate-oxidized CTQ adduct, which is coupled to CTQ reduction. The structures also suggest that Asp-678 is acting as a proton relay that directs these protons to a water channel that connects the active sites on the subunits of this homotetrameric enzyme.
