Kinetics of nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Heterotropic interactions between magnesium-adenosine 5'-diphosphate and magnesium-adenosine 5'-triphosphate.

ABSTRACT: The effects of MgADP and MgATP on the kinetics of a pre-steady-state electron-transfer reaction and on the steady-state kinetics of H2 evulution for nitrogenase proteins of K. pneumoniae were studied. MgADP was a competitive inhibitor of MgATP in the MgATP-induced electron transfer from the Fe-protein to the Mo-Fe-protein. A dissociation constant K'i = 20 micron was determined for MgADP. The release of MgADP or a coupled conformation change in the Fe-protein of K.pneumoniae occurred with a rate comparable with that of electron transfer, k approximately 2 X 10(2)S-1. Neither homotropic nor heterotropic interactions involving MgATP and MgADP were observed for this reaction. Steady-state kinetic data for H2 evolution exhibited heterotropic effects between MgADP and MgATP. The data have been fitted to symmetry and sequential-type models involving conformation changes in two identical subunits. The data suggest that the enzyme can bind up to molecules of either MgATP or MgADP, but is unable to bind both nucleotides simultaneously. The control of H2 evolution by the MgATP/MgADP ratio is not at the level of electron transfer between the Fe- and Mo-Fe-proteins.

Nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae. A stopped-flow study of magnesium-adenosine triphosphate-induce electron transfer between the compeonent proteins.

Project description:Stopped-flow kinetic data have been obtained for a rapid electron-transfer reaction between the component proteins of nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae, which was induced by MgATP. Up to three equivalents of the Fe-containing protein were rapidly oxidized by one equivalent of the Fe-Mo-containing protein in a unimolecular reaction, k2 = 2 x 10(2)S-1. Evidence for a tight complex between the component proteins, KD(complex) less than 0.5 muM, which was formed with a rate k1 greater than 1 x 10(7)M-1-S-1, has been obtained. MgATP bound to either the Fe-containing protein or to the two-protein complex with a rate k3 greater than 2.5 x 10(6)M-1-S-1 and with KD(MgATP) = 0.4mM, before the electron-transfer reaction.

Nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae: evidence for an adenosine triphosphate-induced association of the iron-sulphur protein.

Project description:The effect of various nucleotides on the Fe-containing component of nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae was investigated by ultracentrifugation and thiol-group reactivity towards 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate). In the absence of Na(2)S(2)O(4), ATP and ADP produced changes in sedimentation behaviour and thiol-group reactivity consistent with association of the protein.

Nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Inhibition of acetylene reduction by magnesium ion explained by the formation of an inactive dimagnesium-adenosine triphophate complex.

Project description:Acetylene-reducing activity of purified nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae was studied over a range of ATP and Mg(2+) concentrations at 15 degrees C, pH7.8. Inhibition at Mg(2+) concentrations of 2.5-30mm was due to the formation of the inactive complex, Mg(2)ATP. At higher Mg(2+) concentrations an additional inhibitory effect was observed. The results were consistent with a MgATP complex being the active substrate with an apparent K(m)(MgATP)=0.4mm.

Nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae nifV mutants.

Project description:The MoFe protein of nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae nifV mutants, NifV- Kp1 protein, in combination with the Fe protein from wild-type cells, catalysed CO-sensitive H2 evolution, in contrast with the CO-insensitive reaction catalysed by the wild-type enzyme. The decrease in H2 production was accompanied by a stoicheiometric decrease in dithionite (reductant) utilization, implying that CO was not reduced. However, CO did not affect the rate of phosphate release from ATP. Therefore the ATP/2e ratio increased, indicating futile cycling of electrons between the Fe protein and the MoFe protein. The inhibition of H2 evolution by CO was partial; it increased from 40% at pH6.3 to 82% at pH 8.6. Inhibition at pH7.4 (maximum 73%) was half-maximal at 3.1 Pa (0.031 matm) CO. The pH optimum of the mutant enzyme was lower in the presence of CO. Steady-state kinetic analysis of acetylene reduction indicated that CO was a linear, intersecting, non-competitive inhibitor of acetylene reduction with Kii = 2.5 Pa and Kis = 9.5 Pa. This may indicate that a single high-affinity CO-binding site in the NifV- Kp1 protein can cause both partial inhibition of H2 evolution and total elimination of acetylene reduction. Various models to explain the data are discussed.

The mechanism of Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase action. Pre-steady-state kinetics of H2 formation.

Project description:A comprehensive model for the mechanism of nitrogenase action is used to simulate pre-steady-state kinetic data for H2 evolution in the presence and in the absence of N2, obtained by using a rapid-quench technique with nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae. These simulations use independently determined rate constants that define the model in terms of the following partial reactions: component protein association and dissociation, electron transfer from Fe protein to MoFe protein coupled to the hydrolysis of MgATP, reduction of oxidized Fe protein by Na2S2O4, reversible N2 binding by H2 displacement and H2 evolution. Two rate-limiting dissociations of oxidized Fe protein from reduced MoFe protein precede H2 evolution, which occurs from the free MoFe protein. Thus Fe protein suppresses H2 evolution by binding to the MoFe protein. This is a necessary condition for efficient N2 binding to reduced MoFe protein.

Kinetics of interaction of adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate with adenosine triphosphatase of bovine heart submitochondrial particles.

Project description:The short preincubation of submitochondrial particles with low concentrations of ADP in the presence of Mg2+ results in a complete loss of their ATPase and inosine triphosphatase activities. Other nucleoside diphosphates (IDP and GDP) do not affect the ATPase activity. The ADP-inhibited ATPase can be activated in a time-dependent manner by treatment of submitochondrial particles with the enzyme converting ADP into ATP (phosphoenolpyruvate plus pyruvate kinase). The activaton is a first-order reaction with rate constant 0.2 min-1 at 25 degrees C. The rate constant of activation is increased in the presence of ATP up to 2 min-1, and this increase shows saturation kinetics with Km value equal to that for ATPase reaction itself (10(-4) M at 25 degrees C at pH 8.0). The experimental results obtained are consistent with the model where two alternative pathways of ADP dissociation from the inhibitory site of ATPase exist; one is spontaneous dissociation and the second is ATP-dependent dissociation through the formation of the ternary complex between ADP, the enzyme and ATP. ADP-induced inactivation and ATP-dependent activation of ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles is accompanied by the same directed change of their ability to catalyse the ATP-dependent reverse electron transport from succinate to NAD+. The possible implication of the model suggested is discussed in terms of functional role of the inhibitory high-affinity binding site for ADP in the mitochondrial ATPase.

The magnesium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase of myosin. Two-step processes of adenosine triphosphate association and adenosine diphosphate dissociation.

Project description:The kinetics of protein-fluorescence change when rabbit skeletal myosin subfragment 1 is mixed with ATP or adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) in the presence of Mg(2+) are incompatible with a simple bimolecular association process. A substrate-induced conformation change with DeltaG(0)<-24kJ.mol(-1) (i.e. DeltaG(0) could be more negative) at pH8 and 21 degrees C is proposed as the additional step in the binding of ATP. The postulated binding mechanism is M+ATPright harpoon over left harpoonM.ATPright harpoon over left harpoonM*.ATP, where the association constant for the first step, K(1), is 4.5x10(3)m(-1) at I 0.14m and the rate of isomerization is 400s(-1). In the presence of Mg(2+), ADP binds in a similar fashion to ATP, the rate of the conformation change also being 400s(-1), but with DeltaG(0) for that process being -14kJ.mol(-1). The effect of increasing ionic strength is to decrease K(1), the kinetics of the conformation change being essentially unaltered. Alternative schemes involving a two-step binding process for ATP to subfragment 1 are possible. These are not excluded by the experimental results, although they are perhaps less likely because they imply uncharacteristically slow bimolecular association rate constants.

KINETIC STUDIES OF THE REVERSE REACTION CATALYSED BY ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE-CREATINE PHOSPHOTRANSFERASE. THE INHIBITION BY MAGNESIUM IONS AND ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE.

Project description:1. Kinetic investigations of the reaction catalysed by ATP-creatine phosphotransferase have been carried out. 2. No firm conclusions could be reached about the reaction of Mg(2+) at the nucleotide-binding site of the enzyme. The value of the kinetic constant for this reaction depends on the value used for the apparent stability constant of the metal ion-nucleotide complex and, to a smaller extent, on the method of plotting the results. 3. At higher concentrations Mg(2+) is a non-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme with respect to both MgADP(-) and phosphocreatine. 4. ADP(3-) is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme with respect to MgADP(-) and a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to phosphocreatine. 5. The concentration of phosphocreatine has little, if any, effect on the kinetic constants for the nucleotide reactants.

Altered creatine kinase adenosine triphosphate kinetics in failing hypertrophied human myocardium.

Project description:The progression of pressure-overload left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to chronic heart failure (CHF) may involve a relative deficit in energy supply and/or delivery.We measured myocardial creatine kinase (CK) metabolite concentrations and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis through CK, the primary energy reserve of the heart, to test the hypothesis that ATP flux through CK is impaired in patients with LVH and CHF. Myocardial ATP levels were normal, but creatine phosphate levels were 35% lower in LVH patients (n = 10) than in normal subjects (n = 14, P < 0.006). Left ventricular mass and CK metabolite levels in LVH were not different from those in patients with LVH and heart failure (LVH+CHF, n = 10); however, the myocardial CK pseudo first-order rate constant was normal in LVH (0.36 +/- 0.04 s(-1) in LVH versus 0.32 +/- 0.06 s(-1) in normal subjects) but halved in LVH+CHF (0.17 +/- 0.06 s(-1), P < 0.001). The net ATP flux through CK was significantly reduced by 30% in LVH (2.2 +/- 0.7 micromol x g(-1) x s(-1), P = 0.011) and by a dramatic 65% in LVH+CHF (1.1 +/- 0.4 micromol x g(-1) x s(-1), P < 0.001) compared with normal subjects (3.1 +/- 0.8 micromol x g(-1) x s(-1)).These first observations in human LVH demonstrate that it is not the relative or absolute CK metabolite pool sizes but rather the kinetics of ATP turnover through CK that distinguish failing from nonfailing hypertrophic hearts. Moreover, the deficit in ATP kinetics is similar in systolic and nonsystolic heart failure and is not related to the severity of hypertrophy but to the presence of CHF. Because CK temporally buffers ATP, these observations support the hypothesis that a deficit in myofibrillar energy delivery contributes to CHF pathophysiology in human LVH.

Nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Hydrazine is a product of azide reduction.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase reduced azide, at 30 degrees C and pH 6.8-8.2, to yield ammonia (NH3), dinitrogen (N2) and hydrazine (N2H4). Reduction of (15N = 14N = 14N)-followed by mass-spectrometric analysis showed that no new nitrogen-nitrogen bonds were formed. During azide reduction, added 15N2H4 did not contribute 15N to NH3, indicating lack of equilibration between enzyme-bound intermediates giving rise to N2H4 and N2H4 in solution. When azide reduction to N2H4 was partially inhibited by 15N2, label appeared in NH3 but not in N2H4. Product balances combined with the labelling data indicate that azide is reduced according to the following equations: (formula: see text); N2 was a competitive inhibitor and CO a non-competitive inhibitor of azide reduction to N2H4. The percentage of total electron flux used for H2 evolution concomitant with azide reduction fell from 26% at pH 6.8 to 0% at pH 8.2. Pre-steady-state kinetic data suggest that N2H4 is formed by the cleavage of the alpha-beta nitrogen-nitrogen bond to bound azide to leave a nitride (= N) intermediate that subsequently yields NH3.
