Location and properties of two isoenzymes of cardiac adenylate kinase.

ABSTRACT: Adenylate kinase catalyses the equilibrium 2ADP = ATP + AMP. There are two isoenzymes of adenylate kinase in bovine ventricular tissue, one cytoplasmic, the other mitochondrial. Mitochondrial subfractionation locates this isoenzyme between the mitochondrial membranes with fatty acid-CoA ligase. The cytoplasmic and mitochondrial isoenzymes are distributed in ratio 3:2, and both forms were purified to homogeneity. They differ principally by charge, Km values for ATP, ADP and AMP, pH-stability and -activity profiles, and susceptibility to the inhibitor adenosine pentaphosphoadenosine. The forward and reverse reactions show similar energies of activation for the cytoplasmic enzyme, but differ for the mitochondrial enzyme. The molecular weights are indistinguishable. An integrated mechanism is formulated whereby one isoenzyme suppresses the activation of fatty acid and the other enhances carbohydrate utilization in hypoxic myocytes.

Development of adenylate kinase isoenzymes in rat liver.

Project description:Total adenylate kinase activity was determined in developing rat liver. The activity was 18 units/g wet weight of tissue in foetal liver; this increased to 41 units/g immediately after birth and continued increasing until adult activities of 150 units/g were reached after two weeks. The adenylate kinase activity was separated into four isoenzymes. Only isoenzymes II and III were observed in foetal rat liver. Isoenzyme II activity was 2 units/g in the foetal liver and increased to 25 units/g in adult liver. Adenylate kinase III activity was 20 units/g in the foetal liver and increased to 118 units/g in adult liver. The possible role that adenylate kinase might have in regulating the energy flow in the developing liver cell is discussed.

Study into the kinetic properties and surface attachment of a thermostable adenylate kinase.

Project description:A thermostable adenylate kinase (tAK) has been used as model protein contaminant on surfaces, so used because residual protein after high temperature wash steps can be detected at extremely low concentrations. This gives the potential for accurate, quantitative measurement of the effectiveness of different wash processes in removing protein contamination. Current methods utilise non-covalent (physisorbtion) of tAK to surfaces, but this can be relatively easily removed. In this study, the covalent binding of tAK to surfaces was studied to provide an alternative model for surface contamination. Kinetic analysis showed that the efficiency of the enzyme expressed as the catalytic rate over the Michaelis constant (kcat/KM) increased from 8.45±3.04 mM-1 s-1 in solution to 32.23±3.20 or 24.46±4.41 mM-1 s-1 when the enzyme was immobilised onto polypropylene or plasma activated polypropylene respectively. Maleic anhydride plasma activated polypropylene showed potential to provide a more robust challenge for washing processes as it retained significantly higher amounts of tAK enzyme than polypropylene in simple washing experiments. Inhibition of the coupled enzyme (luciferase/luciferin) system used for the detection of adenylate kinase activity, was observed for a secondary product of the reaction. This needs to be taken into consideration when using the assay to estimate cleaning efficacy.

Adenylate metabolism in the heart. Regulatory properties of rabbit cardiac adenylate deaminase.

Project description:The kinetic properties of a 300-fold purified cardiac AMP deaminase were studied and compared with those of the corresponding enzyme from skeletal muscle. The heart enzyme is activated by ATP and less efficiently by ADP, and is inhibited by Pi, phosphocreatine and GTP. ATP, even at micromolar concentrations, is able to abolish the effects of the inhibitors. The affinity of the enzyme for AMP is low in the absence of activators (Km 3.1 mM), but, in the presence of ATP, becomes as high as that of skeletal-muscle AMP deaminase (Km 0.4 mM). The maximal activation by ATP is observed at alkaline pH (pH 7.5-8.0). Under the same conditions ATP is maximally inhibitory for skeletal-muscle enzyme. These results suggest that AMP deaminase in the heart is always in the activated state, whereas in skeletal muscle the enzyme is active only during exhaustive contractions.

New crystal structures of adenylate kinase from Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 in two conformations.

Project description:Adenylate kinases (AdKs; EC 2.7.3.4) play a critical role in intercellular homeostasis by the interconversion of ATP and AMP to two ADP molecules. Crystal structures of adenylate kinase from Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 (SpAdK) have recently been determined using ligand-free and inhibitor-bound crystals belonging to space groups P21 and P1, respectively. Here, new crystal structures of SpAdK in ligand-free and inhibitor-bound states determined at 1.96 and 1.65?Å resolution, respectively, are reported. The new ligand-free crystal belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a=73.5, b=54.3, c=62.7?Å, ?=118.8°. The new ligand-free structure revealed an open conformation that differed from the previously determined conformation, with an r.m.s.d on C? atoms of 1.4?Å. The new crystal of the complex with the two-substrate-mimicking inhibitor P1,P5-bis(adenosine-5'-)pentaphosphate (Ap5A) belonged to space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a=53.9, b=62.3, c=63.0?Å, ?=101.9, ?=112.6, ?=89.9°. Despite belonging to the same space group as the previously reported crystal, the new Ap5A-bound crystal contains four molecules in the asymmetric unit, compared with two in the previous crystal, and shows slightly different lattice contacts. These results demonstrate that SpAdK can crystallize promiscuously in different forms and that the open structure is flexible in conformation.

The structure of bovine mitochondrial adenylate kinase: comparison with isoenzymes in other compartments.

Project description:In vertebrates, there are different adenylate kinases in the compartments cytosol, mitochondrial intermembrane space, and mitochondrial matrix. Here, we report the spatial structure of the intermembrane species established in two crystal forms by X-ray diffraction analyses at 1.92 and 2.1 A resolution. In both structures, the enzyme is unligated, and thus in an "open" conformation. The enzyme was prepared from bovine liver, containing at least five variants arisen from posttranscriptional and posttranslational modifications. It could only be crystallized after removing some of these variants. A comparison with the known structures of the adenylate kinases from cytosol and mitochondrial matrix reveals structural differences that should play a role in protein targeting because none of these enzymes contains a cleavable signal peptide. A further comparison with adenylate kinases from Gram-positive bacteria showed that the structural Zn2+ ion of these species is replaced by a strictly conserved assembly of hydrogen bonded residues.

Partial purification and properties of the two common inherited forms of human erythrocyte adenylate kinase.

Project description:1. The partial purification of adenylate kinase, types 1 and 2, from human erythrocytes is described. 2. Gel chromatography of both forms of the enzyme gave estimates of the molecular weights in the range 20000-23000. 3. Studies on crude haemolysates at various pH values indicated that the type 2 enzyme was less stable than the type 1. Heat denaturation studies on the partially purified enzymes confirmed these findings. 4. Measurements of rates of inhibition by iodoacetate and iodoacetamide showed that the type 2 enzyme reacts more readily than the type 1 enzyme with both reagents. 5. The effect of temperature on the initial velocity of ADP formation was measured at a single concentration of both AMP and MgATP(2-). The two forms of the enzyme responded differently to increasing temperature.

The crystal structure of human adenylate kinase 6: An adenylate kinase localized to the cell nucleus.

Project description:Adenylate kinases (AKs) play important roles in nucleotide metabolism in all organisms and in cellular energetics by means of phosphotransfer networks in eukaryotes. The crystal structure of a human AK named AK6 was determined by in-house sulfur single-wavelength anomalous dispersion phasing methods and refined to 2.0-A resolution with a free R factor of 21.8%. Sequence analyses revealed that human AK6 belongs to a distinct subfamily of AKs present in all eukaryotic organisms sequenced so far. Enzymatic assays show that human AK6 has properties similar with other AKs, particularly with AK5. Fluorescence microscopy showed that human AK6 is localized predominantly to the nucleus of HeLa cells. The identification of a nuclear-localized AK sheds light on nucleotide metabolism in the nucleus and the energetic communication between mitochondria and nucleus by means of phosphotransfer networks.

Project description:Correlated inter-domain motions in proteins can mediate fundamental biochemical processes such as signal transduction and allostery. Here we characterize at structural level the inter-domain coupling in a multidomain enzyme, Adenylate Kinase (AK), using computational methods that exploit the shape information encoded in residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) measured under steric alignment by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We find experimental evidence for a multi-state equilibrium distribution along the opening/closing pathway of Adenylate Kinase, previously proposed from computational work, in which inter-domain interactions disfavour states where only the AMP binding domain is closed. In summary, we provide a robust experimental technique for study of allosteric regulation in AK and other enzymes.

Water content, adenylate kinase, and mitochondria drive adenylate balance in dehydrating and imbibing seeds.

Project description:Water and life are inexorably linked, but some organisms are capable of losing almost all cellular water to enter a non-metabolic state of anhydrobiosis. This raises intriguing questions about how energy metabolism is managed during such transitions. Here, we have investigated adenylate metabolism during seed imbibition and drying using intact or fragmented pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds. AMP was confirmed as the major adenylate stored in dry seeds, and normal adenylate balance was rapidly restored upon rehydration of the tissues. Conversely, re-drying of fully imbibed seeds reversed the balance toward AMP accumulation. The overall analysis, supported by in vitro enzyme mimicking experiments, shows that during tissue dehydration, when oxidative phosphorylation is no longer efficient because of decreasing water content, the ATP metabolic demand is met by adenylate kinase, resulting in accumulation of AMP. During seed imbibition, adenylate balance is rapidly restored from the AMP stock by the concerted action of adenylate kinase and mitochondria. The adenylate balance in orthodox seeds, and probably in other anhydrobiotes, appears to be simply driven by water content throughout the interplay between ATP metabolic demand, adenylate kinase, and oxidative phosphorylation, which requires mitochondria to be energetically efficient from the onset of imbibition.

Different protein kinase C isoenzymes mediate inhibition of cardiac rapidly activating delayed rectifier K<sup>+</sup> current by different G-protein coupled receptors.

Project description:Background and purposeElevated angiotensin II (Ang II) and sympathetic activity contributes to a high risk of ventricular arrhythmias in heart disease. The rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr ) carried by the hERG channels plays a critical role in cardiac repolarization, and decreased IKr is involved in increased cardiac arrhythmogenicity. Stimulation of α1A -adrenoreceptors or angiotensin II AT1 receptors is known to inhibit IKr via PKC. Here, we have identified the PKC isoenzymes mediating the inhibition of IKr by activation of these two different GPCRs.Experimental approachThe whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record IKr in guinea pig cardiomyocytes and HEK293 cells co-transfected with hERG and α1A -adrenoreceptor or AT1 receptor genes.Key resultsA broad spectrum PKC inhibitor Gö6983 (not inhibiting PKCε), a selective cPKC inhibitor Gö6976 and a PKCα-specific inhibitor peptide, blocked the inhibition of IKr by the α1A -adrenoreceptor agonist A61603. However, these inhibitors did not affect the reduction of IKr by activation of AT1 receptors, whereas the PKCε-selective inhibitor peptide did block the effect. The effects of angiotensin II and the PKCε activator peptide were inhibited in mutant hERG channels in which 17 of the 18 PKC phosphorylation sites were deleted, whereas a deletion of the N-terminus of the hERG channels selectively prevented the inhibition elicited by A61603 and the cPKC activator peptide.Conclusions and implicationsOur results indicated that inhibition of IKr by activation of α1A -adrenoreceptors or AT1 receptors were mediated by PKCα and PKCε isoforms respectively, through different molecular mechanisms.
