Use of progress curves to investigate product inhibition in enzyme-catalysed reactions. Application to the soluble mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase.

ABSTRACT: 1. Several methods of analysing progress curves of enzyme-catalysed reactions are discussed briefly in relation to their usefulness in a situation where a reaction product has a K(i) much lower than the K(m) for the substrate 2. A comparison is made of different methods of estimating initial rates in this situation. 3. The use of a computer curve-fitting routine capable of handling functions of more than one variable for the extraction of kinetic parameters from progress curves is described. 4. This method and that of fitting time as a polynomial in product concentration are applied to progress curves for the soluble mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase and the results are compared with values obtained by more conventional methods.

Estimation of the initial velocity of enzyme-catalysed reactions by non-linear regression analysis of progress curves.

Project description:Most methods for studying the kinetic properties of an enzyme involve the determination of initial velocities. When the reaction progress curve shows significant curvature due to depletion of the substrate, accumulation of inhibitory products or instability of the enzyme, estimation of the initial velocity is a subjective and inexact process. Two methods have been suggested [Cornish-Bowden (1975) Biochem. J. 144, 305-312; Boeker (1982) Biochem J. 203, 117-123] that attempt to eliminate this subjective element. The present study offers a third alternative, which is based on fitting a reparameterized form of the integrated Michaelis-Menten equation to the progress curves by non-linear regression. This method yields estimates and standard errors of the initial velocity and of the time to reach 50% reaction. No prior knowledge of the apparent product concentration at zero time or infinite time is required, since both of these quantities are also estimated from the data. It is shown that this method yields reliable estimates of the initial velocity under a wide range of circumstances, including those where the two previously published methods perform poorly.

SAM-dependent enzyme-catalysed pericyclic reactions in natural product biosynthesis.

Project description:Pericyclic reactions-which proceed in a concerted fashion through a cyclic transition state-are among the most powerful synthetic transformations used to make multiple regioselective and stereoselective carbon-carbon bonds. They have been widely applied to the synthesis of biologically active complex natural products containing contiguous stereogenic carbon centres. Despite the prominence of pericyclic reactions in total synthesis, only three naturally existing enzymatic examples (the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, and the Cope and the Claisen rearrangements) have been characterized. Here we report a versatile S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent enzyme, LepI, that can catalyse stereoselective dehydration followed by three pericyclic transformations: intramolecular Diels-Alder and hetero-Diels-Alder reactions via a single ambimodal transition state, and a retro-Claisen rearrangement. Together, these transformations lead to the formation of the dihydropyran core of the fungal natural product, leporin. Combined in vitro enzymatic characterization and computational studies provide insight into how LepI regulates these bifurcating biosynthetic reaction pathways by using SAM as the cofactor. These pathways converge to the desired biosynthetic end product via the (SAM-dependent) retro-Claisen rearrangement catalysed by LepI. We expect that more pericyclic biosynthetic enzymatic transformations remain to be discovered in naturally occurring enzyme 'toolboxes'. The new role of the versatile cofactor SAM is likely to be found in other examples of enzyme catalysis.

pH-activity curves for enzyme-catalysed reactions in which the hydron is a product or reactant.

Project description:A reaction in which the hydron [International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (1986) Chem. Int. 8 (4), 21] is a reactant will have a more acidic pH optimum than the reverse reaction in which it is a product. Simple mechanistic models, made by postulating various ways in which the hydron is supplied for the forward reaction, lead to the prediction that the pK that characterizes the fall in activity on the alkaline side for the forward reaction will be equal to that characterizing the fall on the acid side for the reverse reaction. It is not possible to identify what is responsible for this pK without additional information; as is well known, different possible dispositions of hydrons in transition states cannot usually be distinguished solely by kinetics.

Analysis of progress curves for enzyme-catalysed reactions. Automatic construction of computer programs for fitting integrated rate equations.

Project description:The computer analysis of progress curves for enzyme-catalysed reactions involves a series of mathematical and computational tasks. The three most daunting of these are the derivation of an integrated rate equation, solving this equation so that the amount of product formed by the reaction at any time can be calculated, and incorporating this solution into a non-linear-regression computer program. This paper describes the basis of a computer program that greatly simplifies the problem. The proposed mechanism is specified in the familiar kinetic constant form, which is automatically translated into a program capable of fitting this mechanism to a series of experimental progress curves. The approach is illustrated for a reversible reaction with one substrate and one product, and tested with some data obtained for the fumarase reaction. A copy of the program has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50148 (13 pages) at the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem. J. (1989) 257, 5.

Determination of initial velocities of enzymic reactions from progress curves.

Project description:The present communication describes a novel method for estimating initial velocities (v) of enzyme-catalysed reactions. It is based on an approximation of experimental data obtained by the cubic spline function. The initial velocity of a reaction is calculated as a derivative of the approximating function at a time value equal to zero. The proposed method is usable on a computer with a FORTRAN IV program. The method can be successfully used in such cases as substantial extents of substrate conversion, the inactivation of an enzyme in the course of a reaction, the existence of large experimental error or when the reaction mechanism is unknown.

Kinetic parameters from progress curves of competing substrates. Application to beta-lactamases.

Project description:The use of two substrates, one of them a reporter substrate, is often convenient. The time course of an enzymic reaction with competing substrates is given explicitly in the present paper. Kinetic parameters can be readily obtained. The method is applied to the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin, with cephalosporin C as the reporter substrate, catalysed by a Pseudomonas beta-lactamase.

Cyclic metal(oid) clusters control platinum-catalysed hydrosilylation reactions: from soluble to zeolite and MOF catalysts.

Project description:The Pt-catalysed addition of silanes to functional groups such as alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls and alcohols, i.e. the hydrosilylation reaction, is a fundamental transformation in industrial and academic chemistry, often claimed as the most important application of Pt catalysts in solution. However, the exact nature of the Pt active species and its mechanism of action is not well understood yet, particularly regarding regioselectivity. Here, experimental and computational studies together with an ad hoc graphical method show that the hydroaddition of alkynes proceeds through Pt-Si-H clusters of 3-5 atoms (metal(oid) association) in parts per million amounts (ppm), which decrease the energy of the transition state and direct the regioselectivity of the reaction. Based on these findings, new extremely-active (ppm) microporous solid catalysts for the hydrosilylation of alkynes, alkenes and alcohols have been developed, paving the way for more environmentally-benign industrial applications.

Preparation and general properties of a soluble adenosine triphosphatase from mitochondria.

Project description:1. The purification of an adenosine triphosphatase present in aqueous extracts of acetone-dried ox-heart mitochondria is described. 2. No evidence was found for the presence of more than one protein having adenosine-triphosphatase activity in these extracts. 3. The enzyme is less stable at 0 degrees than at 25 degrees but is stabilized by glycerol. 4. The activity is dependent on the presence of Mg(2+) or certain other bivalent metal cations. 5. The adenosine-triphosphatase activity of the Mg(2+)-activated enzyme is enhanced by 2,4-dinitrophenol. 6. The kinetics of Mg(2+) activation indicate that the ATP-Mg(2+) complex is the important substrate: free ATP and Mg(2+) are inhibitory. 7. This preparation of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase has many properties in common with the adenosine triphosphatase coupling factor from mitochondria (Racker, 1961).

Inhibition of the soluble adenosine triphosphatase from mitochondria by adenylyl imidodiphosphate.

Project description:1. Adenylyl imidodiphosphate is an inhibitor with high affinity for the soluble ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) from mitochondria. 2. The reaction of the inhibitor with the ATPase is slow and estimates for the association and dissociation reaction rate constants are given. 3. The number of binding sites for the inhibitor appears to be doubled in the presence of 2,4-dinitrophenol. 4. Adenylyl imidodiphosphate is less effective as an inhibitor of the ATPase activity of this enzyme than of the inosine triphosphatase activity. It is also less effective on the ATPase of frozen-thawed or intact mitochondria and did not inhibit ADP-stimulated respiration by intact mitochondria.

Progress-curve equations for reversible enzyme-catalysed reactions inhibited by tight-binding inhibitors.

Project description:The rate equation for a tight-binding inhibitor of an enzyme-catalysed first-order reversible reaction was used to derive two integrated equations. One of them covers the situations in which competitive, uncompetitive or non-competitive inhibition occurs and the other refers to the special non-competitive case where the two inhibition constants are equal. For these equations, graphical and non-linear regression methods are proposed for distinguishing between types of inhibition and for calculating inhibition constants from progress-curve data. The application of the non-linear regression to the analysis of stimulated progress curves in the presence of a tight-binding inhibitor is also presented. The results obtained are valid for any type of 'dead-end'-complex-forming inhibitor and can be used to characterize an unknown inhibitor on the basis of progress curves.
