Estimation of rate and dissociation constants involving ternary complexes in reactions catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase.

ABSTRACT: Stopped-flow studies of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by NAD(+) in the presence of Phenol Red and large concentrations of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase give no evidence for the participation of a group of pK(a) approx. 7.6 in alcohol binding. Such a group has been implicated in ethanol binding to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase [Shore, Gutfreund, Brooks, Santiago & Santiago (1974) Biochemistry13, 4185-4190]. The present result supports previous findings based on steady-state kinetic studies with the yeast enzyme. Stopped-flow studies of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalysed reduction of acetaldehyde by NADH in the presence of ethanol as product inhibitor indicate that the rate-limiting step is NAD(+) release from the enzyme-NAD(+)-ethanol product complex. This finding permits calculation of K(3), the dissociation constant for ethanol from the enzyme-NAD(+)-ethanol complex, by using the product-inhibition data of Dickenson & Dickinson (1978) (Biochem. J.171, 613-627). The calculations show that K(3) varies very little with pH in the range 5.95-8.9, and this agrees with the findings of the stopped-flow experiments described above. Absorption and fluorescence measurements on mixtures of substrates and coenzymes in the presence of high concentrations of alcohol dehydrogenase have been used to estimate values for the ratio [enzyme-NADH-acetaldehyde]/ [enzyme-NAD(+)-ethanol] at equilibrium. The values obtained were in the range 0.11+/-0.04, and this value together with estimates of K(3) was used to provide estimates of values for rate constants and dissociation constants for steps within the catalytic mechanism.

Rapid Estimation of Binding Constants for Cucurbit[8]uril Ternary Complexes Using Electrochemistry.

Project description:Supramolecular complexes are of fundamental interests in biomedicines and adaptive materials, and thus facile methods to determine their binding affinity show usefulness in the design of novel drugs and materials. Herein, we report a novel approach to estimate the binding constants KG2 of cucurbit[8]uril-methyl viologen-based ternary complexes (CB8-MV2+-G2) using electrochemistry, achieving high precision (±0.03) and practical accuracy (±0.32) in logKG2 and short measurement time (<10 min). In particular, we have uncovered a linear correlation (R2 > 0.8) between the reduction potential of CB8-MV2+-G2 ternary complexes and their reported binding constants from isothermal titration calorimetry, which allow a calibration curve to be plotted based on 25 sample complexes. Mechanistic investigation using experimental and computational approaches reveals that this correlation stems from the dynamic host-guest exchange events occurring after the electron transfer step. Binding constants of unknown ternary complexes, where G2 = hydrocarbons, were estimated, illustrating potential applications for sparsely soluble second guests.

Evaluation of rate constants for enzyme-catalysed reactions by the jackknife technique. Application to liver alcohol dehydrogenase.

Project description:Steady-state measurements of enzyme-catalysed reactions are capable of providing more information about the rate constants of the individual steps than is commonly obtained. We have applied a combination of the jackknife and non-linear regression techniques to measurements of the rate of oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, catalysed by alcohol dehydrogenase from horse liver. This has permitted values and confidence intervals to be assigned to the eight rate constants that characterize the binding of ethanol and NAD+ in random order to the enzyme, and to the net rate constant kcat. for the breakdown of the ternary complex.

SPR-Measured Dissociation Kinetics of PROTAC Ternary Complexes Influence Target Degradation Rate.

Project description:Bifunctional degrader molecules, known as proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), function by recruiting a target to an E3 ligase, forming a target/PROTAC/ligase ternary complex. Despite the importance of this key intermediate species, no detailed validation of a method to directly determine binding parameters for ternary complex kinetics has been reported, and it remains to be addressed whether tuning the kinetics of PROTAC ternary complexes may be an effective strategy to improve the efficiency of targeted protein degradation. Here, we develop an SPR-based assay to quantify the stability of PROTAC-induced ternary complexes by measuring for the first time the kinetics of their formation and dissociation in vitro using purified proteins. We benchmark our assay using four PROTACs that target the bromodomains (BDs) of bromodomain and extraterminal domain proteins Brd2, Brd3, and Brd4 to the von Hippel-Lindau E3 ligase (VHL). We reveal marked differences in ternary complex off-rates for different PROTACs that exhibit either positive or negative cooperativity for ternary complex formation relative to binary binding. The positively cooperative degrader MZ1 forms comparatively stable and long-lived ternary complexes with either Brd4BD2 or Brd2BD2 and VHL. Equivalent complexes with Brd3BD2 are destabilized due to a single amino acid difference (Glu/Gly swap) present in the bromodomain. We observe that this difference in ternary complex dissociative half-life correlates to a greater initial rate of intracellular degradation of Brd2 and Brd4 relative to Brd3. These findings establish a novel assay to measure the kinetics of PROTAC ternary complexes and elucidate the important kinetic parameters that drive effective target degradation.

Measuring dissociation rate constants of protein complexes through subunit exchange: experimental design and theoretical modeling.

Project description:Protein complexes are dynamic macromolecules that constantly dissociate into, and simultaneously are assembled from, free subunits. Dissociation rate constants, k(off), provide structural and functional information on protein complexes. However, because all existing methods for measuring k(off) require high-quality purification and specific modifications of protein complexes, dissociation kinetics has only been studied for a small set of model complexes. Here, we propose a new method, called Metabolically-labeled Affinity-tagged Subunit Exchange (MASE), to measure k(off) using metabolic stable isotope labeling, affinity purification and mass spectrometry. MASE is based on a subunit exchange process between an unlabeled affinity-tagged variant and a metabolically-labeled untagged variant of a complex. The subunit exchange process was modeled theoretically for a heterodimeric complex. The results showed that k(off) determines, and hence can be estimated from, the observed rate of subunit exchange. This study provided the theoretical foundation for future experiments that can validate and apply the MASE method.

Allostery within a transcription coactivator is predominantly mediated through dissociation rate constants.

Project description:The kinase-inducible domain interacting (KIX) domain of CREB binding protein binds to multiple intrinsically disordered transcription factors in vivo at two distinct sites on its surface. Several reports have been made of allosteric communication between these two sites in this well-characterized model system. In this work, we have performed fluorescence stopped-flow measurements to investigate the kinetics of binding of five KIX binding proteins. We find that they all have similar association and dissociation rate constants for complex formation, despite their wide range of intrinsic helical propensities. Furthermore, by careful arrangement of pseudofirst-order conditions, we have been able to show that both association and dissociation rate constants are decreased when a partner is bound at the alternative site. These decreases suggest that positive allosteric effects are not mediated by structural changes in binding sites but rather, through a more general mechanism, largely mediated through dissociation, which we propose is largely related to changes in the flexibility of the KIX domain itself.

The determination of specificity constants in enzyme-catalysed reactions.

Project description:A convenient and accurate procedure for determining the kinetic parameter Vmax./Km is described. This avoids the error in the usual method of taking the observed first-order rate constant of an enzymic reaction at low substrate concentration as Vmax./Km. A series of reactions is used in which the initial concentration of substrate is below Km (e.g. from 5% to 50% of Km). Measurements are taken over the same extent of reaction (e.g. 70%) for each member of the series, and treated as if the kinetics were truly first-order. The reciprocal of the observed first-order rate constant is then plotted against the initial concentration of substrate: the reciprocal of the ordinate intercept is Vmax./Km. The procedure, as well as being applicable to simple reactions, is shown to be valid when there is competitive inhibition by the product, or when the reaction is reversible, or when there is competitive or mixed inhibition. The hydrolysis of cephalosporin C by a beta-lactamase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is used to illustrate the method.

Efficient maximum likelihood estimation of kinetic rate constants from macroscopic currents.

Project description:A new method is described that accurately estimates kinetic constants, conductance and number of ion channels from macroscopic currents. The method uses both the time course and the strength of correlations between different time points of macroscopic currents and utilizes the property of semiseparability of covariance matrix for computationally efficient estimation of current likelihood and its gradient. The number of calculation steps scales linearly with the number of channel states as opposed to the cubic dependence in a previously described method. Together with the likelihood gradient evaluation, which is almost independent of the number of model parameters, the new approach allows evaluation of kinetic models with very complex topologies. We demonstrate applicability of the method to analysis of synaptic currents by estimating accurately rate constants of a 7-state model used to simulate GABAergic macroscopic currents.

Estimation of the dissociation constants of enzyme-substrate complexes from steady-state measurements. Interpretation of pH-independence of Km.

Project description:If the Michaelis constant of an enzyme-catalysed reaction is independent of pH under conditions where the catalytic constant varies with pH, it is equal to the thermodynamic dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex. This is true for realistic mechanisms in which binding and catalytic steps, are clearly distinguished, as well as for the simpler mechanisms that have been considered previously. It is also true for a mechanism in which a bell-shaped pH profile for the catalytic constant results from a change of rate-limiting step with pH. The relaxation time for ionization of a typical group in unbuffered solutions at 25 degrees C is of the order of 0.1 ms at the longest, and is much shorter in buffered solutions. Thus ionizations in almost all enzyme mechanisms can properly be treated as equilibria, provided that ionization is not accompanied by a slow, compulsory change in conformation.

Preorganized PSP Ligands Yield Monomeric Cu(I) Complexes with Subzeptomolar Cu(I) Dissociation Constants.

Project description:Unraveling the function of biological copper (Cu) requires tools that can selectively recognize and manipulate this trace nutrient within the complex chemical environment of biological systems. Increasing evidence suggests that cells maintain an exchangeable pool of Cu(I) that is buffered in the high zeptomolar to low attomolar range. While mixed amine-thioether donors have been commonly employed for the design of Cu(I)-selective ligands and probes, their dissociation constants are limited to the pico- to femtomolar range. To address this challenge, we combined our previously devised phosphine sulfide-stabilized phosphine donor motifs with a rigid 1,2-phenylene or 1,8-naphthylene ligand backbone. The resulting ligands, phenPS and naphPS, bind Cu(I) with a 1:1 complex stoichiometry and offer dissociation constants of 0.6 and 0.8 zM, respectively. Concluding from the crystal structures of the free and Cu(I)-bound ligands, the 1,2-phenylene-bridged ligand phenPS provides a high degree of structural preorganization to accommodate the Cu(I) center without large conformational changes, while the 1,8-naphthylene-bridged ligand revealed significant out-of-plane distortions in both the free and Cu(I)-bound states. Both ligands were accessed by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions from the corresponding arylhalides under mild conditions, an approach that could be readily expanded toward the design of other ligands and probes.

Fail-safe control of translation initiation by dissociation of eIF2α phosphorylated ternary complexes.

Project description:Phosphorylation of eIF2α controls translation initiation by restricting the levels of active eIF2-GTP/Met-tRNAi ternary complexes (TC). This modulates the expression of all eukaryotic mRNAs and contributes to the cellular integrated stress response. Key to controlling the activity of eIF2 are translation factors eIF2B and eIF5, thought to primarily function with eIF2-GDP and TC respectively. Using a steady-state kinetics approach with purified proteins we demonstrate that eIF2B binds to eIF2 with equal affinity irrespective of the presence or absence of competing guanine nucleotides. We show that eIF2B can compete with Met-tRNAi for eIF2-GTP and can destabilize TC. When TC is formed with unphosphorylated eIF2, eIF5 can out-compete eIF2B to stabilize TC/eIF5 complexes. However when TC/eIF5 is formed with phosphorylated eIF2, eIF2B outcompetes eIF5 and destabilizes TC. These data uncover competition between eIF2B and eIF5 for TC and identify that phosphorylated eIF2-GTP translation initiation intermediate complexes can be inhibited by eIF2B.
