Effects of adenosine phosphates and nicotinamide nucleotides on pyruvate carboxylase from baker's yeast.

ABSTRACT: 1. Pyruvate carboxylase from baker's yeast is inhibited by ADP, AMP and adenosine at pH8.0 in the presence of magnesium chloride concentrations equal to or higher than the ATP concentration. The adenine moiety is essential for the inhibitory effect. 2. In the absence of acetyl-CoA (an allosteric activator) ADP, AMP and adenosine are competitive inhibitors with respect to ATP. In the presence of acetyl-CoA, besides the effect with respect to ATP, AMP competes with acetyl-CoA, whereas ADP and adenosine are non-competitive inhibitors with respect to the activator. 3. Pyruvate carboxylase is inhibited by NADH. The inhibition is competitive with respect to acetyl-CoA and specific with respect to NADH, since NAD(+), NADP(+) and NADPH do not affect the enzyme activity. In the absence of acetyl-CoA, NAD(+), NADH, NADP(+) and NADPH do not inhibit pyruvate carboxylase. 4. Pyruvate carboxylase is inhibited by ADP, AMP and NADH at pH6.5, in the presence of 12mm-Mg(2+), 0.75mm-Mn(2+) and 0.5mm-ATP, medium conditions similar to those existing inside the yeast cell. The ADP and NADH effects are consistent with a regulation of enzyme activity by the intracellular [ATP]/[ADP] ratio and secondarily by NADH concentration. These mechanisms would supplement the already known control of yeast pyruvate carboxylase by acetyl-CoA and l-aspartate. Inhibition by AMP is less marked and its physiological role is perhaps limited.

Effects of magnesium, manganese and adenosine triphosphate ions on pyruvate carboxylase from baker's yeast.

Project description:1. Pyruvate carboxylase from baker's yeast acts with either MgATP(2-) or MnATP(2-) as substrate. The optimum pH for the enzyme reaction is 8.0 with MgATP(2-) and 7.0 with MnATP(2-). 2. When the reaction velocity is plotted against MgATP(2-) (or MnATP(2-)) concentration slightly sigmoid curves are obtained, either in the presence or in the absence of acetyl-CoA (an allosteric activator). In the presence of excess of free Mg(2+) (or Mn(2+)) the curves turn into hyperbolae, whereas in the presence of excess of free ATP(4-) the apparent sigmoidicity of the curves increases. 3. The sigmoidicity of the plots of v against MgATP(2-) (or MnATP(2-)) concentration can be explained by the inhibitory effect of free ATP(4-), the concentration of which, in the experimental conditions employed, is significant and varies according to the total concentration of the ATP-magnesium chloride (or ATP-manganese chloride) mixture. Free ATP(4-) behaves as a negative modifier of yeast pyruvate carboxylase. 4. The effect of high concentrations of Mg(2+) (or Mn(2+)) on the kinetics of yeast pyruvate carboxylase can be explained as a deinhibition with respect to ATP(4-), instead of a direct enzyme activation. 5. At pH6.5 manganese chloride is more effective than magnesium chloride as enzyme activator even in the presence of a great excess (16-fold) of the latter. This is consistent with a significant contribution of the MnATP(2-) complex to the activity of yeast pyruvate carboxylase, in medium conditions resembling those existing inside the yeast cell (pH6.25-6.75; 12mm-magnesium chloride and 0.75mm-manganese chloride). 6. The physiological significance of the enzyme inhibition by free ATP(4-) is doubtful since the Mg(2+) and Mn(2+) concentrations reported to exist inside the yeast cell are sufficient to decrease ATP(4-) concentrations to ineffective values.

Changes in the intracellular concentrations of adenosine phosphates and nicotinamide nucleotides during the aerobic growth cycle of yeast on different carbon sources.

Project description:1. Methods for the quantitative extraction of adenosine phosphates and nicotinamide nucleotides from yeast cells are described. 2. The intracellular concentrations of adenosine phosphates and nicotinamide nucleotides were measured during the aerobic growth cycle of yeast on glucose and galactose. 3. When sugars were still present in the media the intracellular concentrations of NADH and AMP were in general higher in glucose- than in galactose-grown cells, whereas ADP concentration was always lower in glucose-grown cells. 4. The adenylate-kinase reaction was found to be far from equilibrium in the glucose-grown cells and when glucose was still present in the growth medium. 5. The significance of the changes in the intracellular concentrations of adenosine phosphates and nicotinamide nucleotides observed during growth on either sugar is discussed in relation to the metabolism and growth of the cells. 6. The differences observed in the concentrations of these cofactors in glucose- and galactose-grown cells are also discussed in relation to the type of metabolism of these cells. Control of glycolysis at the level of phosphofructokinase in galactose-grown cells and at the level of phosphoglycerate kinase in glucose-grown cells is suggested. 7. ADP is suggested to be the inducer of formation of respiratory enzymes.

Adenosine 5'-pyrophosphate sulphurylase in baker's yeast.

Project description:ADP sulphurylase from baker's yeast was purified and its properties were studied. The enzyme is very heat-labile and its activity shows linear kinetics over narrow ranges of time and protein concentration. It is not activated by metals and is inhibited by thiol-reactive compounds. The enzyme, which replaces inorganic sulphate in adenosine 5'-sulphatophosphate with P(i) to yield ADP, also catalyses an exchange of P(i) into ADP. Kinetic studies show that the enzyme has a high affinity for adenosine 5'-sulphatophosphate, although concentrations in excess of 1.0mm are inhibitory. However, the kinetics for P(i) are more complex and the enzyme is not inhibited by P(i) up to 20.0mm.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase displays alternate binding modes for nicotinamide nucleotides.

Project description:Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) catalyzes the biosynthesis of NAD(+) and NaAD(+). The crystal structure of NMNAT from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum complexed with NAD(+) and SO4(2-) revealed the active-site residues involved in binding and catalysis. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to further characterize the roles played by several of these residues. Arg11 and Arg136 were implicated in binding the phosphate groups of the ATP substrate. Both of these residues were mutated to lysine individually. Arg47 does not interact with either NMN or ATP substrates directly, but was deemed to play a role in binding as it is proximal to Arg11 and Arg136. Arg47 was mutated to lysine and glutamic acid. Surprisingly, when expressed in Escherichia coli all of these NMNAT mutants trapped a molecule of NADP(+) in their active sites. This NADP(+) was bound in a conformation that was quite different from that displayed by NAD(+) in the native enzyme complex. When NADP(+) was co-crystallized with wild-type NMNAT, the same structural arrangement was observed. These studies revealed a different conformation of NADP(+) in the active site of NMNAT, indicating plasticity of the active site.

Polymorphism of the yeast pyruvate carboxylase 2 gene and protein: effects on protein biotinylation.

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae there are two isoenzymes of pyruvate carboxylase (Pyc) encoded by separate genes designated PYC1 and PYC2. We report the isolation and sequencing of a PYC2 gene, and the localization of both genes on the physical map of S. cerevisiae. Comparison with the previously reported sequence [Stucka, Dequin, Salmon and Gancedo (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet. 229, 307-315] revealed significant differences within the open reading frame. The most notable difference was near the 3' end, where we found a single base deletion reducing the open reading frame by 15 bases. We have confirmed the C-terminus of Pyc2 encoded by the gene isolated here by expressing and purifying an 86-amino-acid biotin-domain peptide. In addition, we investigated the effects of the two changes in the Pyc2 biotin domain (K1155R substitution and Q1178P/five-amino-acid extension) on the extent of biotinylation in vivo by Escherichia coli biotin ligase, and compared the biotinylation of peptides containing these changes with that of two different-length Pyc1 biotin-domain peptides. The K1155R substitution had very little effect on biotinylation, but the five-amino-acid C-terminal extension to Pyc2 and the N-terminal extension to Pycl both improved biotinylation in vivo.

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

Mineralization induced by phosphorylated dry baker's yeast.

Project description:We found the mineralization of Cu during long-term Cu2+ adsorption onto dry baker's yeast cells phosphorylated using sodium cyclo-triphosphate. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed that the elemental composition of minerals were copper, phosphorus, and oxygen. Synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure showed that the local structure around Cu atoms deposited on the mineral was almost identical to that of commercial copper (II) phosphate Cu3(PO4)2∙3H2O. However, the crystallinity was low, and the structure was slightly distorted. Time profile analysis using FESEM revealed that copper phosphate mineralization was first apparent on Day 3 of adsorption, whereas mineral formation plateaued at around Day 7. It seems that mineralization occurs by the local saturation of phosphate and Cu2+ on the yeast cells. Mineralization of the rare earth ion Dy3+ was also demonstrated during long-term adsorption. Mineralization on phosphorylated yeast cells appears to follow a common path for various types of metal ions and provides a promising technique for metal recovery via irreversible adsorption.
