The endo-type chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41) from a Deuteromycete, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (ATCC 56676), catalyses the hydrolysis of the acetamido group of GlcNAc (2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose) residues in chitin or chito-oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (n) equal to or greater than 2. The steady-state kinetic parameters for the initial deacetylation reactions of (GlcNAc)2–6 were determined using a direct, continuous spectrophotometric assay in combination with ESI-MS (electrospray ionization MS) analysis of the products. The dependence of the observed Km and kcat/Km on n suggests the presence of four enzyme subsites (−2, −1, 0 and +1) that interact with GlcNAc residues from the non-reducing end to the reducing end of the substrate. The turnover number (kcat, 7 s−1) is independent of n and represents the intrinsic rate constant (kint) for the hydrolysis of the acetamido group in subsite 0. The subsite affinities for the GlcNAc residues were calculated from the observed kcat/Km values (A−2, −11.0; A−1, −1.5; A0, −7.7; A+1, −12.5 kJ·mol−1). The increments in the subsite affinities due to the recognition of the acetamido groups were calculated [ΔΔG(N-acetyl)=3.3, 0, 4.0 and 0 kJ·mol−1 for subsites −2, −1, 0 and +1 respectively]. The steady-state kinetic parameters for the second deacetylation reaction of (GlcNAc)4 were also determined using (GlcNAcGlcNAcGlcNGlcNAc) as the substrate. The comparison of the experimental and theoretical values (calculated using the subsite affinities) suggests that the mono-deacetylated substrate binds strongly in a non-productive mode occupying all four subsites, thereby inhibiting the second deacetylation reaction.

The acylation and deacylation stages of the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-Phe-Gly methyl thionoester catalysed by papain and actinidin were investigated by stopped-flow spectral analysis. Differences in the forms of pH-dependence of the steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic parameters support the hypothesis that, whereas for papain, in accord with the traditional view, the rate-determining step is the base-catalysed reaction of the acyl-enzyme intermediate with water, for actinidin it is a post-acylation conformational change required to permit release of the alcohol product and its replacement in the catalytic site by the key water molecule. Possible assignments of the kinetically influential pKa values, guided by the results of modelling, including electrostatic-potential calculations, and of the mechanistic roles of the ionizing groups, are discussed. It is concluded that Asp161 is the source of a key electrostatic modulator (pKa 5.0±0.1) in actinidin, analogous to Asp158 in papain, whose influence is not detected kinetically; it is always in the ‘on’ state because of its low pKa value (2.8±0.06).

The steady state kinetic parameters of plasmin and trypsin catalysed hydrolysis of Bz-L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, Bz-D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA and D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA in the pH-range 6-9 are presented. Ionization of catalytically essential enzymic groups accounts satisfactorily for the pH-dependencies of the kinetic parameters for plas-rain and trypsin reactions with Bz-L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA, Bz-D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA and D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA. The protonation of the α-amino group of L-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA and D-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA (pK=7.0) show some additional effect. The values of the catalytic constants for plasmin and trypsin reactions with these p-nitroanilides are alike those normally found for specific ester substrates, indicating that the deacylation steps are rate determining.

The preparation, structural and steady-state kinetic characteristics of contractile proteins from the leg muscle of frogs Rana temporaria and Rana pipiens are described. Actin and myosin from the two frog species are indistinguishable. The proteins have structural and steady-state kinetic properties similar to those from rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle. Chymotrypsin digestion of frog myosin or myofibrils in the presence of EDTA yields subfragment 1, which is separated by chromatography into two components that are distinguished by their alkali light-chain content.

1. Steady-state kinetic parameters for the β-galactosidase-catalysed hydrolysis of 13 aryl β-d-galactopyranosides show no simple dependence on aglycone acidity. 2. α-Deuterium kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD) for seven of these substrates, measured under steady-state conditions with [S]»Km, vary from 1.00 for poor substrates to 1.25 for hydrolysis of the galactosyl-enzyme. 3. Methanolysis of the galactosyl-enzyme in 1.5m-methanol increases KH/kD for degalactosylation, but leaves that for hydrolysis of ‘slow’ substrates unchanged. 4. These data are incompatible with a simple two-step mechanism. A scheme consisting of a conformation change, liberation of a galactopyranosyl cation in an intimate ion-pair, non-productive but preferential collapse of the ion-pair to a covalent species and reaction of the galactosyl enzyme through the ion-paired form is proposed. 5. This scheme is used to rationalize previously puzzling data about the enzyme mechanism.
