Pig liver pyruvate carboxylase. Purification, properties and cation specificity.

ABSTRACT: 1. Pyruvate carboxylase was purified to apparent homogeneity from pig liver mitochondria and shown to be free of all kinetically contaminating enzymes. 2. The enzyme has a mol. wt. of 520000 and is composed of four subunits, each with a mol. wt. of 130000. 3. The enzyme can exist as the active tetramer, dimer and monomer, although the tetramer appears to be the form in which the enzyme is normally assayed. 4. For every 520000g of the enzyme there are 4mol of biotin, 3mol of zinc and 1mol of magnesium. No significant concentrations of manganese were detected. 5. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates three polypeptide chains per monomer unit, each with a mol. wt. of 47000. 6. The amino acid analysis, stoicheiometry of the reaction and the activity of the enzyme as a function of pH are also presented. 7. The enzyme is activated by a variety of univalent cations but not by Tris(+) or triethanolamine(+). 8. The activity of the enzyme is dependent on the presence of acetyl-CoA; the low rate in the absence of added acetyl-CoA is not due to an enzyme-bound acyl-CoA. The dissociation constant for enzyme-bound acetyl-CoA is a marked function of pH.

Purification and properties of rat brain pyruvate carboxylase.

Project description:Rat brain pyruvate carboxylase was purified 2000-fold and some of its properties and kinetic parameters were investigated. The use of (NH4)2SO4 gradient solubilization on a Celite column and precipitation with polyethylene glycol permitted purification to an estimated 20% purity. Except for a few subtle kinetic differences this enzyme is indistinguishable from rat liver pyruvate carboxylase.

Pig liver pyruvate carboxylase. The reaction pathway for the carboxylation of pyruvate.

Project description:1. The reaction pathway for the carboxylation of pyruvate, catalysed by pig liver pyruvate carboxylase, was studied in the presence of saturating concentrations of K(+) and acetyl-CoA. 2. Free Mg(2+) binds to the enzyme in an equilibrium fashion and remains bound during all further catalytic cycles. MgATP(2-) binds next, followed by HCO(3) (-) and then pyruvate. Oxaloacetate is released before the random release, at equilibrium, of P(i) and MgADP(-). 3. This reaction pathway is compared with the double displacement (Ping Pong) mechanisms that have previously been described for pyruvate carboxylases from other sources. The reaction pathway proposed for the pig liver enzyme is superior in that it shows no kinetic inconsistencies and satisfactorily explains the low rate of the ATP[unk][(32)P]P(i) equilibrium exchange reaction. 4. Values are presented for the stability constants of the magnesium complexes of ATP, ADP, acetyl-CoA, P(i), pyruvate and oxaloacetate.

Pig liver pyruvate carboxylase. The reaction pathway for the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate.

Project description:1. The reaction pathway for the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate, catalysed by pig liver pyruvate carboxylase, was studied in the presence of saturating concentrations of K(+) and acetyl-CoA. 2. Free Mg(2+) binds to the enzyme in an equilibrium fashion and remains bound during all further catalytic cycles. MgADP(-) and P(i) bind randomly, at equilibrium, followed by the binding of oxaloacetate. Pyruvate is released before the ordered steay-state release of HCO(3) (-) and MgATP(2-). 3. These results are entirely consistent with studies on the carboxylation of pyruvate presented in the preceding paper (Warren & Tipton, 1974b) and together they allow a quantitative description of the reaction mechanism of pig liver pyruvate carboxylase. 4. In the absence of other substrates of the back reaction pig liver pyruvate carboxylase will decarboxylate oxaloacetate in a manner that is not inhibited by avidin. 5. Reciprocal plots involving oxaloacetate are non-linear curves, which suggest a negatively co-operative interaction between this substrate and the enzyme.

Purification and properties of galactokinase from pig liver.

Project description:1. Galactokinase has been purified from the liver of young pigs by high-speed centrifugation, chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-cellulose, and ammonium sulphate fractionation. 2. The enzyme preparation has a specific activity of 10-18mumoles of galactose phosphorylated/mg. of protein/min. at 37 degrees and has been purified 400-fold from the liver supernatant. 3. Purified liver galactokinase has Michaelis constants of 1x10(-4)-3x10(-4)m for galactose and 2x10(-4)m for ATP-Mg(2+), and the enzyme reaction produces equimolar amounts of galactose 1-phosphate and ADP. 4. Galactokinase phosphorylates 2-deoxygalactose and galactosamine in addition to galactose, has a pH optimum of 7.8, a Q(10) of 2, and is stimulated by cysteine and other thiols. 5. With the exception of substrate specificity, the properties of liver galactokinase are similar to galactokinase purified from yeast and Escherichia coli.

Partial purification and properties of guinea-pig liver polynucleotide phosphorylase.

Project description:1. Polynucleotide phosphorylase has been isolated and partially purified from crude preparations of guinea-pig liver nuclei. 2. The enzyme is particulate and associated with RNA and lipids characteristic of membranes. 3. It has phosphorolysis and exchange activities, but the latter may be due to a contaminating enzyme. 4. The phosphorolysis activity is dependent on bivalent cations, preferably Mg(2+), has a pH optimum between 8.6 and 9.2 and is inhibited by potassium chloride and sodium chloride. 5. The enzyme catalyses phosphorolysis of poly A, poly C, poly U, rRNA and tRNA. Poly G is only phosphorolysed to a very small extent and DNA is not a substrate. 6. The enzyme appears to lack nucleoside diphosphate polymerization activity.

Purification and properties of peroxisomal pyruvate (glyoxylate) aminotransferase from rat liver.

Project description:Pyruvate (glyoxylate) aminotransferase from rat liver peroxisomes was highly purified and characterized. The enzyme preparation has a mol.wt. of approx. 80,000 with two identical subunits, and isoelectric point of 8.0 and a pH optimum between 8.0 and 8.5. The enzyme catalysed transamination between a number of L-amino acids and pyruvate or glyoxylate. The effective amino acceptors were pyruvate, phenylpyruvate and glyoxylate with serine, and glyoxylate and phenylpyruvate with alanine as amino donor. These properties and kinetic parameters of the enzyme are remarkably similar to those previously described for mitochondrial alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase isoenzyme 1 from glucagon-injected rat liver [Noguchi, Okuno, Takada, Minatogawa, Okai & Kido (1978, Biochem. J. 169, 113-122].

Pyruvate carboxylase and carbon metabolism in Listeria monocytogenes

Project description:Transcriptional profile of wild type L. monocytogenes (EGDe) and a pycA mutant strain was compared on growth in BHI. The human pathogen L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular bacterium that survives and replicates in the cytosol of many mammalian cells. The listerial metabolism, especially under intracellular conditions , is still poorly understood. Recent studies analyzed the carbon metabolism of L. monocytogenes by the 13C-isotopologue perturbation method in a defined minimal medium containing [U-13C6]glucose. It was shown that these bacteria produce oxaloacetate mainly by carboxylation of pyruvate due to an incomplete tricarboxylic acid cycle. Here we report that a pycA insertion mutant defective in pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) still grows, albeit at a reduced rate, in BHI medium, but is unable to multiply in a defined minimal medium with glucose or glycerol 36 as carbon source. Transcriptional profiling was performed on the pycA mutant and the wild type strain grown in BHI to get a closer insight into the effect of the pycA mutation in Listeria monocytogenes. RNA from the two strains were isolated after growth in BHI and and compared using whole genome oligonucleotide microarrays

NADP(+)-dependent D-xylose dehydrogenase from pig liver. Purification and properties.

Project description:An NADP(+)-dependent D-xylose dehydrogenase from pig liver cytosol was purified about 2000-fold to apparent homogeneity with a yield of 15% and specific activity of 6 units/mg of protein. An Mr value of 62,000 was obtained by gel filtration. PAGE in the presence of SDS gave an Mr value of 32,000, suggesting that the native enzyme is a dimer of similar or identical subunits. D-Xylose, D-ribose, L-arabinose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, D-glucose and D-mannose were substrates in the presence of NADP+ but the specificity constant (ratio kcat./Km(app.)) is, by far, much higher for D-xylose than for the other sugars. The enzyme is specific for NADP+; NAD+ is not reduced in the presence of D-xylose or other sugars. Initial-velocity studies for the forward direction with xylose or NADP+ concentrations varied at fixed concentrations of the nucleotide or the sugar respectively revealed a pattern of parallel lines in double-reciprocal plots. Km values for D-xylose and NADP+ were 8.8 mM and 0.99 mM respectively. Dead-end inhibition studies to confirm a ping-pong mechanism showed that NAD+ acted as an uncompetitive inhibitor versus NADP+ (Ki 5.8 mM) and as a competitive inhibitor versus xylose. D-Lyxose was a competitive inhibitor versus xylose and uncompetitive versus NADP+. These results fit better to a sequential compulsory ordered mechanism with NADP+ as the first substrate, but a ping-pong mechanism with xylose as the first substrate has not been ruled out. The presence of D-xylose dehydrogenase suggests that in mammalian liver D-xylose is utilized by a pathway other than the pentose phosphate pathway.

Pyruvate-Carboxylase-Mediated Anaplerosis Promotes Antioxidant Capacity by Sustaining TCA Cycle and Redox Metabolism in Liver.

Project description:The hepatic TCA cycle supports oxidative and biosynthetic metabolism. This dual responsibility requires anaplerotic pathways, such as pyruvate carboxylase (PC), to generate TCA cycle intermediates necessary for biosynthesis without disrupting oxidative metabolism. Liver-specific PC knockout (LPCKO) mice were created to test the role of anaplerotic flux in liver metabolism. LPCKO mice have impaired hepatic anaplerosis, diminution of TCA cycle intermediates, suppressed gluconeogenesis, reduced TCA cycle flux, and a compensatory increase in ketogenesis and renal gluconeogenesis. Loss of PC depleted aspartate and compromised urea cycle function, causing elevated urea cycle intermediates and hyperammonemia. Loss of PC prevented diet-induced hyperglycemia and insulin resistance but depleted NADPH and glutathione, which exacerbated oxidative stress and correlated with elevated liver inflammation. Thus, despite catalyzing the synthesis of intermediates also produced by other anaplerotic pathways, PC is specifically necessary for maintaining oxidation, biosynthesis, and pathways distal to the TCA cycle, such as antioxidant defenses.
