Data from steady-state kinetic analysis of yeast K+-activated aldehyde dehydrogenase are consistent with a ternary complex mechanism. Evidence from alternative substrate analysis and product-inhibition studies supports an ordered sequence of substrate binding in which NAD+ is the leading substrate. A preincubation requirement for NAD+ for maximum activity is also consistent with the importance of a binary enzyme-NAD+ complex. Dissociation constant for enzyme-NAD+ complex determined kinetically is in reasonable agreement with that determined by direct binding. The order of substrate addition proposed here differs from that proposed for a yeast aldehyde dehydrogenase previously reported. Different methods of purification produced an enzyme that showed similar kinetic characteristics to those reported here.

Monoamine oxidase has been isolated and purified from bovine thyroid microsomes. The general characteristics and steady-state kinetic behavior of the microsomal enzyme have been compared with those of the enzyme isolated from bovine thyroid mitochondria. The enzymes from the two sources exhibit a high degree of substrate specificity with respect to the amines oxidized. 3-Iodotyramine is a noncompetitive inhibitor of tyramine oxidation in the case of both the mitochondrial and microsomal enzymes. Product inhibition studies suggest that the enzymes from mitochondria and microsomes catalyze reactions which proceed by a similar pathway. In contrast to the mitochondrial enzyme, the enzyme isolated from microsomes is susceptible to inhibition by anions in the following order; [Formula: see text].

1. Secondary-amine mono-oxygenase (proposed EC group 1.14.99.-) was partially purified from trimethylamine-grown Pseudomonas aminovorans by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, gel filtration, hydrophobic chromatography on 5-aminopentylamino-Sepharose, and affinity chromatography on Sepharose-bound NADH. 2. Some problems in the affinity-chromatography step are discussed. 3. A steady-state kinetic analysis varying substrate, oxygen and electron-donor concentrations was performed, which, over the concentration range studied, gave a series of families of approximately parallel double-reciprocal plots. From secondary and tertiary plots, Michaelis constants of 0.160 mM, 0.086 mM and 0.121 mM were obtained for dimethylamine, NADPH and oxygen respectively. 4. Product-inhibition studies supported the postulated Hexa Uni Ping Pong (triple-transfer) reaction mechanism.

A steady-state kinetic analysis of purified soluble methane mono-oxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) was performed. The enzyme was found to follow a concerted-substitution mechanism. Methane binds to the enzyme followed by NADH, which reacts to yield reduced enzyme and NAD+. The reduced enzyme-methane complex binds O2 to give a second ternary complex, which breaks down to release water and methanol. In this way the enzyme can control the supply of electrons to the active site to coincide with the arrival of methane. Product-inhibition studies (with propylene as substrate) supported the reaction mechanism proposed. Ki values for NAD+ and propylene oxide are reported. The Km for NADH varied from 25 microM to 300 microM, depending on the nature of the hydrocarbon substrate, and thus supports the proposed reaction sequence. With methane as substrate the Km values for methane, NADH and O2 were shown to be 3 microM, 55.8 microM and 16.8 microM respectively. With propylene as substrate the Km values for propylene, NADH and O2 were 0.94 microM, 25.2 microM and 12.7-15.9 microM respectively. Methane mono-oxygenase was shown to be well adapted to the oxidation of methane compared with other straight-chain alkanes.

1. An investigation of the reaction mechanism of the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate-activated pyruvate kinase isolated from the hepatopancreas of the crab Carcinus maenas was conducted. The enzyme was assayed in the presence of 500 microns-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, 75 mM-KCl and 8 mM-Mg2+free at 25 degrees C. The results are consistent with a rapid-equilibrium random mechanism. 2. Evidence is presented that suggests the formation of two mixed-substrate-product dead-end complexes, enzyme-ADP-pyruvate and enzyme-ADP-ATP. 3. Competitive substrate inhibition was observed for both substrates, ADP and phosphoenolpyruvate, suggesting the formation of the complexes enzyme-ADP-ADP and enzyme-phosphoenolpyruvate-phosphoenolpyruvate in the suggested mechanism. 4. Data from the ATP product-inhibition studies indicate the formation of the complex enzyme-ATP-ATP. This suggests that in the reverse reaction ATP also will show substrate inhibition. 5. The presence of a saturating concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate does not cause full activation of the purified preparations of the enzyme. 6. Pyruvate kinase activity in the supernatant of a hepatopancreas homogenate was completely activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, suggesting that the binding of this ligand to the purified pyruvate kinase was impaired.

Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) catalyses the irreversible oxidation of betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine with the concomitant reduction of NAD(P)+ to NADP(H). In Pseudomonas aeruginosa this reaction is a compulsory step in the assimilation of carbon and nitrogen when bacteria are growing in choline or choline precursors. The kinetic mechanisms of the NAD+- and NADP+-dependent reactions were examined by steady-state kinetic methods and by dinucleotide binding experiments. The double-reciprocal patterns obtained for initial velocity with NAD(P)+ and for product and dead-end inhibition establish that both mechanisms are steady-state random. However, quantitative analysis of the inhibitions, and comparison with binding data, suggest a preferred route of addition of substrates and release of products in which NAD(P)+ binds first and NAD(P)H leaves last, particularly in the NADP+-dependent reaction. Abortive binding of the dinucleotides, or their analogue ADP, in the betaine aldehyde site was inferred from total substrate inhibition by the dinucleotides, and parabolic inhibition by NADH and ADP. A weak partial uncompetitive substrate inhibition by the aldehyde was observed only in the NADP+-dependent reaction. The kinetics of P. aeruginosa BADH is very similar to that of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, suggesting that both enzymes fulfil a similar amphibolic metabolic role when the bacteria grow in choline and when they grow in glucose.

Initial-velocity and product-inhibition studies on the enzyme benzylamine oxidase from pig plasma indicate that the order of substrate addition and product release is benzylamine on, ammonia off, oxygen on, hydrogen peroxide off, benzaldehyde off. Ammonia, but not benzaldehyde, is released under strictly anaerobic conditions which provides independent evidence for this order. Benzyl alcohol is a substrate for the enzyme. A chemical mechanism consistent with all the data is proposed.

Bovine lens cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase exhibits Michaelis-Menten kinetics with acetaldehyde, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, propionaldehyde, glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde, phenylacetylaldehyde and succinic semialdehyde as substrates. The enzyme was also active with malondialdehyde, and exhibited an esterase activity. Steady-state kinetic analyses show that the enzyme exhibits a compulsory-ordered ternary-complex mechanism with NAD+ binding before acetaldehyde. The enzyme was inhibited by disulfiram and by p-chloromercuribenzoate, and studies with with mercaptans indicated the involvement of thiol groups in catalysis.

The 5′-phosphomonoesterase activity of 5′-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) participates in the catabolism of purine ribonucleotides to uric acid in humans.Initial velocity studies of 5′-nucleotidase suggest a sequential mechanism of interaction between AMP and MgCl2, with a Km of 14 and 3 μM, respectively. With product inhibition studies the apparent Ki's for adenosine, inosine, cytidine, and inorganic phosphate were 0.4, 3.0, 5.0, and 42 mM, respectively. A large number of nucleoside mono-, di-, and tri-phosphate compounds were inhibitors of the enzyme. Allopurinol ribonucleotide, ADP, or ATP were competitive inhibitors when AMP was the substrate, with a Ki slope of 10, 20, or 54 μM, respectively. GTP was a noncompetitive inhibitor, with a Ki slope of 120 μM.The phosphomonoesterase activity of human placental microsomal alkaline phosphatase had a pH optimum of 10.0 and had only 18% of maximum activity at pH 7.4. Substrates and inhibitors included almost any phosphorylated compound. The Km for AMP was 0.4 mM and the apparent Ki for Pi was 0.6 mM. Activity was increased only 19% by 5 mM MgCl2.These observations suggest that 5′-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase may be inhibited by ATP and Pi, respectively, under normal intracellular conditions, and that AMP may be preferentially hydrolyzed by 5′-nucleotidase.
