Competition of two substrates for a single enzyme. A simple kinetic theorem exemplified by a hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase reaction.

ABSTRACT: 1. If two compounds are substrates for a single enzyme, and do not form any ternary complex with the enzyme or combine directly with each other, then the total initial rate of reaction for a mixture of the two compounds may be greater than the rate for either compound alone, or may lie between the rates for the compounds alone. It is the concentration of the compound with the higher maximum velocity that determines which applies, and there is one concentration of the compound of higher maximum velocity at which the total rate of reaction is independent of the presence or absence of the substrate of lower maximum velocity. The values concerned are derived. 2. An example is given of 5alpha-androstan-3-one and 5alpha-androstane-3,16-dione as substrates competing for a hydroxy steroid-NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.53).

Hormonal control of Luteal 20alpha-Hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase and delta5-3beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase during luteolysis in the pregnant rat.

Project description:Treatment of pregnant rats with human chorionic gonadotrophin, luteotrophin (luteinizing hormone), luteotrophin-releasing hormone, prostaglandin F2alpha, aminoglutethimide, or by foetoplacental removal or hysterectomy achieved a common multiple-response pattern, namely increased activity of luteal 20alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase with decreased activity of delta5-3beta-hydroxy steriod dehydrogenase and release of delta4-3-oxo steroids in vitro. 2. Similar effects of foetoplacental removal are noted in pregnant mice. 3. Gonadotrophin induced lower activities of 20alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase, except at the very end of pregnancy, and partly inhibited the induction caused by foetoplacental removal. 4. The results suggest that existence of a placental factor that restrains these changes until the end of normal pregnancy, which is produced in amounts proportional to the number of placentae and is conveyed to the ovary via the blood. 5. This factor was not replaced by prolactin. 6. It is argued that neither placental lactogen nor pituitary luteotrophin participate in the induction of 20alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase at late pregnancy in the rat. 7. Aminoglutethimide induced 20alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase only in late pregnancy. This was partly reversed by progesterone, wholly reversed by progesterone plus oestrogen, and did not involve the pituitary.

Simple kinetic relationships and nonspecific competition govern nuclear import rates in vivo.

Project description:Many cargoes destined for nuclear import carry nuclear localization signals that are recognized by karyopherins (Kaps). We present methods to quantitate import rates and measure Kap and cargo concentrations in single yeast cells in vivo, providing new insights into import kinetics. By systematically manipulating the amounts, types, and affinities of Kaps and cargos, we show that import rates in vivo are simply governed by the concentrations of Kaps and their cargo and the affinity between them. These rates fit to a straightforward pump-leak model for the import process. Unexpectedly, we deduced that the main limiting factor for import is the poor ability of Kaps and cargos to find each other in the cytoplasm in a background of overwhelming nonspecific competition, rather than other more obvious candidates such as the nuclear pore complex and Ran. It is likely that most of every import round is taken up by Kaps and nuclear localization signals sampling other cytoplasmic proteins as they locate each other in the cytoplasm.

3-Hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activities of cortisone reductase.

Project description:The behaviour of various C(19) and C(18) steroids as substrates for crystalline preparations of cortisone reductase (EC 1.1.1.53) is described. 3alpha(Axial,3R)-, 3alpha(equatorial,3R)- and 3beta(axial,3S)-hydroxy steroid-NAD oxidoreductase activities are demonstrated. Four pairs of the substrates differed only in the shape of the a/b ring junction, three pairs differed only in substitution at C-10, and four pairs differed only in substitution in ring d. The shape of the substrate molecule and certain substituents (e.g. 10beta-methyl, 17beta-hydroxy, 16-oxo or 17-oxo) altered substrate behaviour, but steroids differing considerably in shape nevertheless acted as substrates, suggesting the possibility of a large or flexible binding site. K(m) values varied about 10-fold, many being approx. 140mum. V(max.) values covered a greater range (about 200-fold) and the good substrates had high V(max.) values rather than low K(m) values.

Reaction of pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus meleagris with its carbohydrate substrates.

Project description:Monomeric Agaricus meleagris pyranose dehydrogenase (AmPDH) belongs to the glucose-methanol-choline family of oxidoreductases. An FAD cofactor is covalently tethered to His103 of the enzyme. AmPDH can double oxidize various mono- and oligosaccharides at different positions (C1 to C4). To study the structure/function relationship of selected active-site residues of AmPDH pertaining to substrate (carbohydrate) turnover in more detail, several active-site variants were generated, heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris, and characterized by biochemical, biophysical and computational means. The crystal structure of AmPDH shows two active-site histidines, both of which could take on the role as the catalytic base in the reductive half-reaction. Steady-state kinetics revealed that His512 is the only catalytic base because H512A showed a reduction in (kcat /KM )glucose by a factor of 10(5) , whereas this catalytic efficiency was reduced by two or three orders of magnitude for His556 variants (H556A, H556N). This was further corroborated by transient-state kinetics, where a comparable decrease in the reductive rate constant was observed for H556A, whereas the rate constant for the oxidative half-reaction (using benzoquinone as substrate) was increased for H556A compared to recombinant wild-type AmPDH. Steady-state kinetics furthermore indicated that Gln392, Tyr510, Val511 and His556 are important for the catalytic efficiency of PDH. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and free energy calculations were used to predict d-glucose oxidation sites, which were validated by GC-MS measurements. These simulations also suggest that van der Waals interactions are the main driving force for substrate recognition and binding.

Kinetic analysis of the three-step steroid aromatase reaction of human cytochrome P450 19A1.

Project description:Cytochrome P450 19A1 (P450 19A1), the aromatase, catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogens through a sequential three-step reaction, generating 19-hydroxy and 19-aldehyde intermediates en route to the product estrogen. A procedure for the heterologous expression and purification of P450 19A1 in Escherichia coli was developed (k(cat) of 0.06 s(-1) for the conversion of androstenedione to estrone). Binding of the substrate and intermediates show low micromolar dissociation constants and are at least two-step processes. Rates of reduction of the iron were fast in the presence of substrate, either intermediate, or product. P450 19A1 is a distributive rather than a processive enzyme, with the sequential reaction allowing free dissociation of the intermediates as revealed by pulse-chase experiments. Conversion of androstenedione to estrone (under single turnover conditions) generated a progress curve showing changes in the concentrations of the substrate, intermediates, and product. A minimal kinetic model containing the individual rate constants for the steps in P450 19A1 catalysis was developed to globally fit the time course of the overall reaction, the dissociation constants, the two-step ligand binding, the distributive character, the iron-reduction rates, and the steady-state conversion of the 19-hydroxy androstenedione and 19-aldehyde androstenedione intermediates to estrone.

Isolation and characterization of 17 -hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase from human erythrocytes.

Project description:1. The 17beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase was solubilized during haemolysis of erythrocytes and was isolated from the membrane-free haemolysate. Membrane preparations isolated in different ways did not contain 17beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity. The 17beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity in the haemolysate was concentrated by repeated ammonium sulphate precipitation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. The 17beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity of the purified preparation per unit weight of protein was 350-3000 times higher than the activity of the crude erythrocyte haemolysate. The 20alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity was lost during this purification procedure. 2. The 17beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase was NADP-dependent and had a pH optimum for conversion of testosterone between 8.5 and 10. For the molecular weight of the enzyme a value of 64000 was calculated from Sephadex chromatography results. 3. p-Chloromercuribenzoate inhibited the enzymic activity. The oxidative activity of the enzyme for the 17beta-hydroxyl group was only partly inhibited when a large excess of 17-oxo steroids was added. The catalysing activity of the enzyme was influenced by the NADP(+)/NADPH ratio. The oxidation of the 17beta-hydroxyl group in the presence of NADP(+) proceeded faster than the reduction of the 17-oxo group with NADPH. When both reduced and oxidized cofactors were present the oxidation of the 17beta-hydroxyl group was inhibited to a considerable extent. 4. The enzyme had a broad substrate specificity and not only catalysed the conversion of androstanes with a 17beta-hydroxyl group, or 17-oxo group, but also the conversion oestradiolleft arrow over right arrowoestrone. In addition the steroid conjugates dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and oestrone sulphate were also converted. There were no indications that more than one 17beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase was present in the partially purified preparation.

The specificity of a 7 alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli.

Project description:1. Thirty-eight steroids were tested as substrates for a 7 alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase preparation from a strain of Escherichia coli; an improved method of making the crude enzyme is described. 2. Steroids having a 7 alpha-hydroxyl group in the molecule were substrates except (a) when the 5 beta-cholan-24-oic acid side chain was shortened to less than four carbon atoms and (b) in certain cases when sulphate ester groups were present in the molecule. 3. For testing with the enzyme, a new specimen of 7 alpha-hydroxy-3,12-dioxo-5 beta-cholan-24-oic acid was made, which had properties different from those previously described.

3 -Hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity in the mitochondria of rat adrenal homogenates.

Project description:The activity of 3beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.51) in the mitochondrial fraction of rat adrenal homogenates was approx. 31% of the total activity recovered after differential centrifugation and washing of the particulate fractions. Some 45% of the total activity was found in the microsomal fraction. The activity was assayed by a radioisotopic method devised in this laboratory for the purpose of studying small quantities of tissue and cell fractions. Satisfactory separation of the two fractions was demonstrated by electron microscopy of the pellets and by comparative recoveries of RNA, steroid 21-hydroxylase and cytochrome c oxidase in the various compartments. Analyses of the kinetics of the enzyme activity in the two fractions revealed no significant differences in apparent K(m) for pregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone or NAD(+), but demonstrated a distinct difference in the K(m) for NADP(+). pH optima and susceptibility to cyanoketone inhibition were similar in both fractions.

Kinetic and chemical analyses of the cytokinin dehydrogenase-catalysed reaction: correlations with the crystal structure.

Project description:CKX (cytokinin dehydrogenase) is a flavoprotein that cleaves cytokinins to adenine and the corresponding side-chain aldehyde using a quinone-type electron acceptor. In the present study, reactions of maize (Zea mays) CKX with five different substrates (N6-isopentenyladenine, trans-zeatin, kinetin, p-topolin and N-methyl-isopentenyladenine) were studied. By using stopped-flow analysis of the reductive half-reaction, spectral intermediates were observed indicative of the transient formation of a binary enzyme-product complex between the cytokinin imine and the reduced enzyme. The reduction rate was high for isoprenoid cytokinins that showed formation of a charge-transfer complex of reduced enzyme with bound cytokinin imine. For the other cytokinins, flavin reduction was slow and no charge-transfer intermediates were observed. The binary complex of reduced enzyme and imine product intermediate decays relatively slowly to form an unbound product, cytokinin imine, which accumulates in the reaction mixture. The imine product only very slowly hydrolyses to adenine and an aldehyde derived from the cytokinin N6 side-chain. Mixing of the substrate-reduced enzyme with Cu2+/imidazole as an electron acceptor to monitor the oxidative half-reaction revealed a high rate of electron transfer for this type of electron acceptor when using N6-isopentenyladenine. The stability of the cytokinin imine products allowed their fragmentation analysis and structure assessment by Q-TOF (quadrupole-time-of-flight) MS/MS. Correlations of the kinetic data with the known crystal structure are discussed for reactions with different cytokinins.
