The effects of magnesium ions on the interactions of ox brain and liver glutamate dehydrogenase with ATP and GTP.

ABSTRACT: The effects of ATP and GTP on the activities of ox liver and brain glutamate dehydrogenase were determined in the absence and presence of added Mg2+ ions. Although GTP was an inhibitor of the enzyme reaction assayed in the direction of NAD+ reduction, the magnesium complex of this nucleotide had no effect on the activity. Similarly the magnesium complex of ATP was without effect on the activity of the enzyme although the free nucleotide was an activator. These results suggest that it is important to take account of magnesium complex formation when considering the regulatory actions of these nucleotides.

Purification of glutamate dehydrogenase from ox brain and liver. Evidence that commercially available preparations of the enzyme from ox liver have suffered proteolytic cleavage.

Project description:1. A rapid procedure, involving ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and affinity chromatography on GTP-Sepharose, was used to purify glutamate dehydrogenase from ox brain and liver. 2. Preparations purified in this way differed from those of the ox liver enzyme that were obtained from commercial suppliers in their mobilities on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. This difference appears to result from the occurrence of limited proteolysis during the preparation of the latter enzyme samples. 3. N-Terminal sequence analysis showed the presence of four amino acid residues in the enzyme prepared in this study that were not present in those obtained from the commercial sources and which have not been reported in previous studies on the sequence of the ox liver enzyme. 4. A preliminary examination of the enzyme prepared in this way indicated that the Michaelis constants for the substrates are similar to those obtained from the commercial preparation, but that the response to allosteric effectors was modified.

A peptide containing a reactive lysyl group from ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase.

Project description:1. Inhibition of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase with N-(N'-acetyl-4[(35)S]-sulphamoylphenyl)maleimide (ASPM) is more specific at pH7.3 than at pH6.9. At pH7.3 inhibition accompanies the incorporation at 1 mole of ASPM residues into about 53000g. of protein. 2. Digestion of the modified protein with chymotrypsin and trypsin yields a unique radioactive peptide. 3. Acid hydrolysis of 1 mole of this peptide yields 1 mole of N(in)-succin-2-yl-lysine. The in-amino group of a lysyl residue is thus the site of modification of the protein. 4. The sequence containing the modified lysyl residue is: [Formula: see text] where Asx respresents either aspartic acid or asparagine.

The kinetic mechanism of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase in the presence of the allosteric effector ADP. The oxidative deamination of L-glutamate.

Project description:In steady-state kinetic studies of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase in 0.11 M-potassium phosphate buffer, pH7, at 25 degrees C, the concentration of ADP was varied from 0.5 to 1000 microM. Inhibition was observed except when the concentrations of both glutamate and coenzyme were high, when activation was seen. With NAD+ or NADP+ as coenzyme, 200 microM-ADP was sufficient to saturate the enzyme with respect to the major effect of this nucleotide. In the presence of 210 microM-ADP, widely varied concentrations of coenzyme give linear Lineweaver-Burk plots, in marked contrast with results obtained previously for kinetics without ADP. This has allowed evaluation for the reaction with NAD+, NADP+ and acetylpyridine-adenine dinucleotide (315 microM-ADP in the last case) of all four initial rate parameters, i.e. the phi coefficients in the equation: (Formula: see text) where A is coenzyme and B is glutamate. The relative constancy of phi B and of phi AB/phi A with the different coenzymes point to a compulsory-order mechanism with glutamate as the leading substrate. This conclusion, though unexpected, agrees well with various previous observations on the binding of oxidized coenzyme.

Sedimentation properties of native and proteolysed preparations of ox glutamate dehydrogenase.

Project description:The concentration-dependent aggregation behaviour of purified ox liver and brain glutamate dehydrogenase preparations was compared with that of commercially-obtained preparations of the liver enzyme, which have recently been shown to have suffered proteolytic cleavage. Although there were no significant differences in these effects, the presence of 3 mM-GTP and 3 mM-NADH had markedly different effects on the two types of preparation. In this situation, at higher protein concentrations the commercially obtained preparations existed in a higher degree of aggregation than those which had not suffered proteolysis. Studies of the effects of GTP and NADH concentrations on the sedimentation coefficients at a fixed enzyme concentration suggested these effects to be largely due to differences in the affinities of the two preparations for nucleotides.

Activation of brain hexokinase by magnesium ions and by magnesium ion--adenosine triphosphate complex.

Project description:1. An alternative explanation for the kinetic data obtained by Bachelard (1971) for the brain hexokinase reaction is presented. 2. Apparently sigmoidal saturation curves for MgATP(2-) based upon Bachelard's (1971) studies can be corrected to hyperbolic curves by use of a stability constant for MgATP(2-) complex formation. 3. A number of other effects related to the concentration-dependent stability of the MgATP(2-) complex and to the presence of the inhibitory free uncomplexed ATP(4-) concentration are also explained in terms of a non-allosteric role for either Mg(2+) or MgATP(2-) fully consistent with a number of previous reports on this enzyme. 4. A brief discussion of the validity of Hill plots in studies of multisubstrate co-operative enzymes is presented. 5. A simple model is presented that demonstrates how enzymes obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics can demonstrate sigmoidal velocity responses if the true substrate of the reaction is the metal-substrate complex.

Inhibition by acetaldehyde of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from ox brain and ox kidney.

Project description:Low concentrations of acetaldehyde, similar to those that can occur in the brain of ethanol-treated animals, effectively inhibit the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex purified from ox brain or from ox kidney, although the precise mechanism of this inhibition remains to be defined.

GlmU (N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase) bound to three magnesium ions and ATP at the active site.

Project description:N-Acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GlmU), a bifunctional enzyme exclusive to prokaryotes, belongs to the family of sugar nucleotidyltransferases (SNTs). The enzyme binds GlcNAc-1-P and UTP, and catalyzes a uridyltransfer reaction to synthesize UDP-GlcNAc, an important precursor for cell-wall biosynthesis. As many SNTs are known to utilize a broad range of substrates, substrate specificity in GlmU was probed using biochemical and structural studies. The enzymatic assays reported here demonstrate that GlmU is specific for its natural substrates UTP and GlcNAc-1-P. The crystal structure of GlmU bound to ATP and GlcNAc-1-P provides molecular details for the inability of the enzyme to utilize ATP for the nucleotidyltransfer reaction. ATP binding results in an inactive pre-catalytic enzyme-substrate complex, where it adopts an unusual conformation such that the reaction cannot be catalyzed; here, ATP is shown to be bound together with three Mg2+ ions. Overall, this structure represents the binding of an inhibitory molecule at the active site and can potentially be used to develop new inhibitors of the enzyme. Further, similar to DNA/RNA polymerases, GlmU was recently recognized to utilize two metal ions, MgA2+ and MgB2+, to catalyze the uridyltransfer reaction. Interestingly, displacement of MgB2+ from its usual catalytically competent position, as noted in the crystal structure of RNA polymerase in an inactive state, was considered to be a key factor inhibiting the reaction. Surprisingly, in the current structure of GlmU MgB2+ is similarly displaced; this raises the possibility that an analogous inhibitory mechanism may be operative in GlmU.

Ox glutamate dehydrogenase. Comparison of the kinetic properties of native and proteolysed preparations.

Project description:Kinetic constants were determined for commercially available samples of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase, which had previously been shown to have suffered limited proteolysis during preparation, with a range of substrates and effectors. These were compared with the values obtained with enzyme preparations purified in such a way as to prevent this proteolysis from occurring [McCarthy, Walker & Tipton (1980) Biochem. J. 191, 605-611]. The Km values and maximum velocities determined with different substrates revealed little difference between the two preparations although the proteolysed enzyme had lower Km values for NH4+ and glutamate when the activities were determined with NADPH and NADP+ respectively. This preparation was more sensitive to inhibition by Cl- ions but less sensitive to inhibition by high concentrations of the substrate NADH. The two preparations also differed in their sensitivities to allosteric effectors, with the proteolysed enzyme being the less sensitive to inhibition by GTP. At high concentrations of NADH, this preparation was also more sensitive to activation by ADP and ATP.

Allosteric activation of brain hexokinase by magnesium ions and by magnesium ion--adenosine triphosphate complex.

Project description:1. Substrate-saturation curves of brain hexokinase for MgATP(2-) were sigmoidal at sub-saturating concentrations of glucose when the Mg(2+)/ATP ratio was maintained at 1:1. Under identical conditions, except that Mg(2+) was present in excess, hyperbolic curves were observed. 2. The number of binding sites (calculated from Hill plots) is 1.8 at a Mg(2+)/ATP ratio 1:1, and 1.0 with excess of Mg(2+). The apparent K(m) for MgATP(2-) is 6.5x10(-4)m at a Mg(2+)/ATP ratio 1:1, and 3.5x10(-4)m with excess of Mg(2+). 3. Interdependence between substrate-binding sites was indicated by the effects of varying the concentration of glucose. The sigmoidality and deviation from Michaelis-Menten kinetics at a Mg(2+)/ATP ratio 1:1 became less pronounced with increasing glucose concentration. Also, although substrate-saturation curves for glucose were hyperbolic when the Mg(2+)/ATP ratio was 1:1, reciprocal plots were non-linear. These were linear with excess of Mg(2+). 4. High concentrations of Mg(2+) (Mg(2+)/ATP ratios above 5:1) were inhibitory. 5. The results are taken to indicate homotropic co-operative binding of MgATP(2-) and that Mg(2+) is an allosteric activator. Possible implications in regulation are discussed.
