Some properties of rat-liver glucose--adenosine triphosphate phosphotransferases.

ABSTRACT: In normal rat liver hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) activity usually accounts for not more than 30% of the total glucose-ATP phosphotransferase activity, the remainder being due to glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2). In the present work it was found that in normal rat liver the relative activities of these two enzymes were occasionally very different from those usually found even though the total glucose-ATP phosphotransferase activity was within the normal range. In some cases almost the entire glucose-ATP phosphotransferase was accounted for by the low-K(m) enzyme hexokinase. Some properties of this enzyme system are reported. It is suggested that this shift in favour of the low-K(m) enzyme without change in the total glucose-ATP phosphotransferase activity may represent a regulatory mechanism.

Further properties and possibel mechanism of action of adenosine 5'-triphosphate-D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase from rat liver.

Project description:1. Magnesium ions are the most effective bivalent ions in the glucokinase reaction. 2. The molecular weight of rat hepatic glucokinase is 48000-49000 as assessed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. 3. Anomalous kinetic behaviour at low glucose concentrations appears to be due to the formation during the purification procedure of fragments possessing modified catalytic properties, but is unlikely to be of physiological significance. 4. Extension of previous studies (Parry & Walker, 1966) suggests that glucokinase catalyses a reaction of the random Bi Bi type similar to that of yeast hexokinase. 5. The inhibitory effects of various thiol reagents suggest that a thiol group may be involved at or near the binding site of the acceptor molecule.

Regulatory properties of adenosine triphosphate-L-methionine S-adenosyltransferase of rat liver.

Project description:1. Double-reciprocal plots of the reaction velocity of yeast, rat liver and Escherichia coli ATP-l-methionine S-adenosyltransferases (EC 2.5.1.6) as a function of the l-methionine concentrations (under saturating ATP conditions) demonstrate downward deflexions from linearity for the yeast and E. coli adenosyltransferases and an upward deflexion for the rat liver enzyme. 2. The activities of partially purified preparations of rat liver ATP-l-methionine S-adenosyltransferase are enhanced by low concentrations of non-substrate analogues of l-methionine [e.g. 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (cycloleucine) and l-2-amino-4-hexynoic acid], or by inorganic tripolyphosphate, an ATP analogue. When the concentrations of these analogues were raised further, the activity decreased. Double-reciprocal plots became linear in the presence of these modifier analogues. The inhibitions are common to all the l-methionine adenosyltransferases examined, but the activation(s) were only found with rat and mouse liver enzymes and not with enzymes obtained from several other tissues of these or other species. 3. The rate of formation of S-adenosyl-l-methionine bears a sigmoidal relation to the l-methionine concentrations when ATP is saturating. The activating effects of the l-methionine analogues and of tripolyphosphate are observed at low l-methionine concentrations, and become obliterated as the l-methionine concentration is raised. These findings are analysed in terms of various regulatory enzyme models.

Multiple forms of glucose-adenosine triphosphate phosphotransferase in rat mammary gland.

Project description:Measurements have been made of the total hexokinase activity and of the relative amounts of types I and II hexokinase in rat mammary gland and at different stages of the lactation cycle. The total hexokinase activity increased during lactation, that of type II increasing to a greater extent than that of type I; the type II/type I activity ratio rose from a pregnancy value of about 1 to a mid-lactation value of 3, returning to 1 on involution. The changes in type II hexokinase activity during the lactation cycle parallel the changes in the insulin sensitivity of mammary-gland tissue. A study of the effect of alloxan-diabetes on mammary-gland hexokinase during the mid-lactation period revealed that, although the total glucose-phosphorylating capacity of the mammary gland was almost unchanged, the relative contributions of type I and type II hexokinases altered, decreasing the type II/type I activity ratio to about 1.

Theory of Polymer Entrapped Enzyme Ultramicroelectrodes: Application to Glucose and Adenosine Triphosphate Detection.

Project description:We validate, by comparison with experimental data, a theoretical description of the amperometric response of microbiosensors formed via enzyme entrapment. The utility of the theory is further illustrated with two relevant examples supported by experiments: (1) quantitative detection of glucose and (2) quantitative detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Simultaneous Detection of Adenosine Triphosphate and Glucose Based on the Cu-Fenton Reaction.

Project description:Both adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and glucose are important to human health, and their abnormal levels are closely related to angiocardiopathy and hypoglycaemia. Therefore, the simultaneous determination of ATP and glucose with a single test mode is highly desirable for disease diagnostics and early recognition. Herein, a new fluorescence on/off switch sensing platform is developed by carbon nanodots (CNDs) to detect ATP and glucose simultaneously. The fluorescence of CNDs can be quenched by Cu2+ and hydrogen peroxide (H?O?), due to the formation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) produced in the Cu-Fenton reaction. Based on the high affinity of Cu2+ with ATP, the fluorescence of CNDs will recover effectively after adding ATP. Additionally, glucose can be efficiently catalyzed by glucose oxidase (GOx) to generate H?O?, so the platform can also be utilized to analyze glucose. Under optimum conditions, this sensing platform displays excellent sensitivity and the linear ranges are from 0.1 to 7 μM for ATP with a limit of detection (LOD) of 30.2 nM, and from 0.1 to 7 mM for glucose with a LOD 39.8 μM, respectively. Benefiting from the high sensitivity and selectivity, this sensing platform is successfully applied for simultaneous detection of ATP and glucose in human serum samples with satisfactory recoveries.

Purification and properties of adenosine 5'-triphospae-D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase from rat liver.

Project description:1. An 870-fold purification of glucokinase from rat liver is described which involves ammonium sulphate fractionation and the use of DEAE-Sephadex, DEAE-cellulose and polyacrylamide columns. 2. The preparation is free of any interfering enzymes and has a specific activity of 8mumoles/min./mg. of protein. 3. Glucokinase catalyses the phosphorylation of glucose, mannose and 2-deoxyglucose. 4. The enzyme is inhibited by high concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate only; ADP is an inhibitor whose effect depends on the Mg(2+) concentration. 5. The properties of glucokinase are compared briefly with those of other phosphotransferases.

Liver adenosine triphosphate content and bile flow rate in the rat.

Project description:The effects of a number of hepatotoxic and other agents on the ATP content of rat liver are described. Changes in the distribution of ATP between the cell sap and the large-particle fraction were determined at intervals after rats had been dosed with various substances. Ethionine produced a rapid decrease in total liver ATP but no alteration in its intracellular distribution. Carbon tetrachloride, sodium salicylate, dimethylnitrosamine, 2,4-dinitrophenol, icterogenin, sodium succinate, sodium malonate and sodium taurocholate did not significantly alter the total ATP content of liver in the periods studied but changes in intracellular distribution were found. Carbon tetrachloride, malonate and taurocholate decreased, and salicylate treatment increased, the proportion of ATP in the cell sap. Treatment with sodium phenobarbitone increased the total liver ATP and the total amount of ATP in the cell sap. The changes in ATP concentration and in the intracellular distribution of ATP are correlated with changes previously reported in bile flow (Delaney & Slater, 1969). No general correlation was found between changes in total ATP and changes in bile flow rate, but there was a relationship between changes in bile flow and in ATP content in the case of ethionine. With the exception of taurocholate and icterogenin, which possibly act on a membrane site, an approximate correlation was found between changes in bile flow and changes in the amount of ATP in the cell sap. The findings are discussed in terms of possible mechanisms for biliary secretion.

A calcium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase in plasma membrane from rat liver. Demonstration that the adenosine triphosphate analogues adenosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[betagamma-methylene]-triphosphate are substrates for the enzyme.

Project description:An ATP pyrophosphohydrolase in a rat liver plasma-membrane subfraction was studied with respect to specific Ca2+ activation of the beta-phosphate bond hydrolysis. ATP and, in addition, adenosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[betagamma-methlylene]triphosphate were substrates for Ca2+-stimulated enzymic hydrolysis of the beta-phosphate bond. A 15-fold activation was observed by raising the free Ca2+ concentration from 10(-7) to 10(-5) M. Mg2+ had little effect. Solubilization in 1% deoxycholate and partial purification on a sucrose density gradient resulted in a 5-fold increase in specific activity with unaltered Ca2+-stimulation pattern. The possible importance of the enzyme in Ca2+ transport is discussed.

Subcellular localization and properties of rat liver adenosine diphosphatase.

Project description:ADPase (adenosine diphosphatase) was assayed in rat liver homogenates with [beta-32P]ADP as substrate. The activity had a pH optimum of 8.0 and was strongly activated by Mg2+. The intracellular localization was determined by analytical subcellular fractionation with single-step sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. Selective membrane perturbants were used to enhance the resolution of the various organelles. ADPase was localized to the mitochondria. Mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation and subfractionated by selective disruption of the inner and outer membranes. The intramitochondrial localization of ADPase was compared with various marker enzymes and was shown to be concentrated in the outer-membrane fractions. The effects of various inhibitors on the ADPase activity were determined and the possibility that the activity could be due to known enzyme systems was considered. It is concluded that ADP degradation is due to a hitherto unrecognized mitochondrial enzyme.

Transition State Analysis of Adenosine Triphosphate Phosphoribosyltransferase.

Project description:Adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT) catalyzes the first step in histidine biosynthesis, a pathway essential to microorganisms and a validated target for antimicrobial drug design. The ATP-PRT enzyme catalyzes the reversible substitution reaction between phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and ATP. The enzyme exists in two structurally distinct forms, a short- and a long-form enzyme. These forms share a catalytic core dimer but bear completely different allosteric domains and thus distinct quaternary assemblies. Understanding enzymatic transition states can provide essential information on the reaction mechanisms and insight into how differences in domain structure influence the reaction chemistry, as well as providing a template for inhibitor design. In this study, the transition state structures for ATP-PRT enzymes from Campylobacter jejuni and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (long-form enzymes) and from Lactococcus lactis (short-form) were determined and compared. Intrinsic kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were obtained at reaction sensitive positions for the reverse reaction using phosphonoacetic acid, an alternative substrate to the natural substrate pyrophosphate. The experimental KIEs demonstrated mechanistic similarities between the three enzymes and provided experimental boundaries for quantum chemical calculations to characterize the transition states. Predicted transition state structures support a dissociative reaction mechanism with a DN*AN‡ transition state. Weak interactions from the incoming nucleophile and a fully dissociated ATP adenine are predicted regardless of the difference in overall structure and quaternary assembly. These studies establish that despite significant differences in the quaternary assembly and regulatory machinery between ATP-PRT enzymes from different sources, the reaction chemistry and catalytic mechanism are conserved.
