The regulatory properties of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. The effect of pH.

ABSTRACT: The regulatory behavior of rabbit pyruvate kinase has been studied as a function of pH. The initial velocity of the enzyme-catalysed reaction as a function of ADP concentration was analysed with the exponential model for a regulatory enzyme. The analysis of the exponential model parameters as functions of pH provided pK values of 6.6 and 8.08 for the free enzyme in its fully ADP-bound conformation. By contrast, the binding of ADP to the ADP-free conformation of the free enzyme did not involve groups that ionize within the pH range (6.2-8.5) of these experiments. The results suggest that homotropic allosteric interactions actually alter the mode of ADP binding. The pK values of 6.63 and 9.00 determined from the analysis of V as a function of pH are readily interpreted in terms of a direct phosphoryl-transfer mechanism in which the beta-phosphoryl group of ADP (pK 6.63) acts as the nucleophile and a lysine epsilon-amino group (pK 9.0) acts as the proton donor in the pyruvate kinase reaction.

The regulatory properties of yeast pyruvate kinase. Effect of pH.

Project description:The kinetics of pyruvate kinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied at 25 degrees C as a function of the concentrations of the substrates ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate and Mg2+ and the effector H+ in the pH range 5-6.6. The enzyme was activated by 100 mM-K+ and 32 mM-NH4+ throughout. It was found that the data could be described by the exponential model for a regulatory enzyme. On that basis, it was concluded that the binding of H+ is positively interactive and that the protonated enzyme is catalytically inactive. It was also found that H+ interacts positively with phosphoenolpyruvate but negatively with both ADP and Mg2+.

The regulatory properties of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. The influence of substrate concentrations.

Project description:The kinetics of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase were studied in assays at pH 7.4, where the relationships between the initial velocities of the catalysed reaction and the concentrations of substrates ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate and Mg2+ are non-hyperbolic. The data were used to test the applicability of the exponential model for a regulatory enzyme, which has been here extended to describe the behaviour of a three-substrate enzyme. It appears that the data can be represented by the model and as a result permit the conclusion that the substrates influence one another's binding by the same type of charge interactions that are evident in the Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzyme observed at pH 6.2. Evidence is also presented indicating that MgADP acts as a dead-end inhibitor of the enzyme at pH 7.4.

The regulatory properties of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. The influence of effector concentrations.

Project description:The initial velocity of the reaction catalysed by rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase was studied as a function of the concentrations of the modifiers phenylalanine and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate under conditions where the relationships between the initial velocities and the concentrations of substrates are non-hyperbolic. It is shown that these data can be represented by the exponential model for a regulatory enzyme.

Distinctive regulatory properties of pyruvate kinase 1 from Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Project description:Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors of arboviruses that cause diseases of public health significance. The discovery of new metabolic targets is crucial for improving mosquito control strategies. We recently demonstrated that glucose oxidation supports ammonia detoxification in A. aegypti. Pyruvate kinase (PK, EC 2.7.1.40) catalyzes the last step of the glycolytic pathway. In most organisms, one or more allosteric effectors control PK activity. However, the kinetic properties and structure of PK in mosquitoes have not been previously reported. In this study, two alternatively spliced mRNA variants (AaPK1 and AaPK2) that code for PKs were identified in the A. aegypti genome. The AaPK1 mRNA variant, which encodes a 529 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of ∼57 kDa, was cloned. The protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. The AaPK1 kinetic properties were identified. The recombinant protein was also crystallized and its 3D structure determined. We found that alanine, glutamine, proline, serine and fructose-1-phosphate displayed a classic allosteric activation on AaPK1. Ribulose-5-phosphate acted as an allosteric inhibitor of AaPK1 but its inhibitory effect was reversed by alanine, glutamine, proline and serine. Additionally, the allosteric activation of AaPK1 by amino acids was weakened by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, whereas the allosteric activation of AaPK1 by alanine and serine was diminished by glucose-6-phosphate. The AaPK1 structure shows the presence of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in the allosteric site. Together, our results reveal that specific amino acids and phosphorylated sugars tightly regulate conformational dynamics and catalytic changes of AaPK1. The distinctive AaPK1 allosteric properties support a complex role for this enzyme within mosquito metabolism.

The regulatory properties of yeast pyruvate kinase. Effect of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

Project description:The kinetics of pyruvate kinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied in assays at pH 6.2 at 25 degrees C as a function of the concentrations of the substrates ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate and Mg2+ and the concentration of the effector fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. The enzyme was activated by 100 mM-K+ and 32 mM-NH4+ throughout. It was found that an increase in the fructose bisphosphate concentration from 24 microM to 1.2 mM brings about a transition from a sigmoidal to a non-inflected form in the relationships v = f([phosphoenolpyruvate]) and v = f([Mg2+]) together with a large increase in the affinity of these substrates for the enzyme. The binding behaviour of ADP is barely affected by the same change in effector concentration. By contrast, increase in fructose bisphosphate concentration below 24 microM increases the affinity of the enzyme for all its substrates and the sigmoidicity of the corresponding velocity-substrate-concentration relationships. As a result of this change in behaviour it has been found impossible to represent all the data by the exponential model for a regulatory enzyme, and it is suggested (supported by comparisons with previous work) that the failure may reflect a secondary action of the effector upon the enzyme.

The refolding of denatured rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase.

Project description:The refolding of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase after denaturation by guanidine hydrochloride was studied. On dilution of the denaturing agent, enzyme activity is only partially regained. The extent of regain of activity is dependent on protein concentration, showing a marked decrease at higher concentrations. The failure to regain complete activity appears to be related to the formation of inactive aggregates, which can be separated from active enzyme by gel filtration. Insoluble aggregates can be partially re-activated after solubilization in guanidine hydrochloride. Changes in the circular-dichroism and fluorescence spectra during refolding suggest that a partially folded, inactive species is formed rapidly; this differs from native enzyme in being more susceptible to proteolysis by trypsin.

A kinetic study of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase.

Project description:The paper reports a study of the kinetics of the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP and Mg(2+) catalysed by rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. The experimental results indicate that the reaction mechanism is equilibrium random-order in type, that the substrates and products are phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP, Mg(2+), pyruvate and MgATP, and that dead-end complexes, between pyruvate, ADP and Mg(2+), form randomly and exist in equilibrium with themselves and other substrate complexes. Values were determined for the Michaelis, dissociation and inhibition constants of the reaction and are compared with values ascertained by previous workers.

The regulatory properties of yeast pyruvate kinase.

Project description:The kinetics of pyruvate kinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied in assays at pH 6.2 where the relationships between the initial velocities of the catalysed reaction and the concentrations of the substrates ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate and Mg2+ are non-hyperbolic. The findings were represented empirically by the exponential model for a regulatory enzyme. The analysis shows that ADP, phosphoenolpyruvate and Mg2+ display positive homotropic interaction in their binding behaviour with (calculated) Hill slopes at half-saturation equal to 1.06, 2.35 and 3.11 respectively [Ainsworth (1977) J. Theor. Biol. 68, 391-413]. The direct heterotropic interaction between ADP and phosphoenolpyruvate is small and negative, but the overall interaction between these substrates becomes positive when their positive interactions with Mg2+ are taken into account. The heterotropic interactions of the substrates, though smaller in magnitude, are comparable with those revealed by the rabbit muscle enzyme [Ainsworth, Kinderlerer & Gregory (1983) Biochem. J. 209, 401-411], and it is suggested that they have a common origin in charge interactions within the active site.

Regulatory properties of AMP deaminase isoenzymes from rabbit red muscle.

Project description:We examined the kinetic and regulatory properties of the two isoenzymes of red muscle AMP deaminase, forms A and B, corresponding respectively to the single isoenzymes present in the heart and white skeletal muscle. At the optimal pH value, 6.5, both enzymes show hyperbolic substrate-velocity curves and are inhibited by GTP, inducing sigmoid kinetics. An effect similar to that of GTP is exerted on form B by ATP, whereas form A is almost insensitive to this nucleotide. At pH 7.1 both enzymes follow sigmoid kinetics. ATP enhances the sigmoidicity of the substrate-velocity curve of form B, but it stimulates form A, reverting sigmoidal to hyperbolic kinetics shown by the enzyme at optimal pH. At pH 7.1, form A is also less sensitive to the inhibitory action of Pi and GTP. These results suggest that, owing to the presence of form A, AMP deamination occurs in red muscle also at moderate work intensity. A possible role of this process in counteracting the production of adenosine by 5'-nucleotidase is hypothesized.

Identification of regions of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase important for allosteric regulation by phenylalanine, detected by H/D exchange mass spectrometry.

Project description:Mass spectrometry has been used to determine the number of exchangeable backbone amide protons and the associated rate constants that are altered when rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase (rM1-PYK) binds either the allosteric inhibitor (phenylalanine) or a nonallosteric analogue of the inhibitor. Alanine is used as the nonallosteric analogue because it binds competitively with phenylalanine but elicits a negligible allosteric inhibition, i.e., a negligible reduction in the affinity of rM1-PYK for the substrate, phosphoenolpyruvate. This experimental design is expected to distinguish changes in the protein caused by effector binding (i.e., those changes common upon the addition of alanine vs phenylalanine) from changes associated with allosteric regulation (i.e., those elicited by the addition of phenylalanine binding, but not alanine binding). High-quality peptic fragments covering 98% of the protein were identified. Changes in both the number of exchangeable protons per peptide and in the rate constant associated with exchange highlight regions of the protein with allosteric roles. The set of allosterically relevant peptides identified by this technique includes residues previously identified by mutagenesis to have roles in allosteric regulation by phenylalanine.
