Creatine kinase from rabbit muscle is inactivated by limited proteolysis with proteinase K from Tritirachium album. Gel-filtration and cross-linking studies showed that the limited proteolysis did not affect the molecular weight of the enzyme under non-denaturing conditions, but did cause changes in the reactivity of the reactive thiol group on each subunit and in the ability of the enzyme to form a ‘transition-state analogue’ complex in the presence of magnesium acetate plus ADP plus creatinine plus NaNO3.

By using sodium dodecyl sulphage/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis it was shown that rabbit muscle creatine kinase, both in a homogenate and purified, appears to be composed of a mixture of two peptides (mol.wts. 42100 and 40300) differing in length by about 15 amino acids. It is found that low concentrations of proteinase K from the fungus Tritirachium album can cleave about 38 amino acids from each chain of creatine kinase, leaving two large fragments (mol.wts 37700 and 35500). Scission of the whole enzyme was found to be concomitant with complete loss of enzyme activity. MgADP in the presence of absence of creatine slowed the rate of proteolysis by about 50%, but the transition-state analogue complex creatine-NO3—MgADP appeared to protect completely. The time course for the proteolytic inactivation in the presence of this complex, but not in its absence, was biphasic.

Substrate- and ligand-induced conformational changes were studied in a series of thiol-modified derivatives of rabbit muscle creatine kinase that retained different amounts of enzymic activity. The results indicate that the ‘reactive’ thiol group of the enzyme is required for the conformational changes associated with formation of a ‘transition-state analogue’ complex.

A number of aspects of the refolding of denatured rabbit muscle creatine kinase have been studied. Addition of substrates has no effect on the rate or extent of regain of activity. The changes in protein fluorescence during refolding broadly parallel the regain of activity. A study of the susceptibility of the enzyme to proteolysis during refolding indicates that there is no significant accumulation of folded, but inactive, intermediates in the folding process. Modification of the reactive thiol group on each subunit of the enzyme by small reagents such as iodoacetate or iodoacetamide prior to denaturation has only a small effect on the rate of subsequent refolding. However, modification by the bulky reagent 6-(4-iodoacetamidophenyl)aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonate has a very large effect on the ability of the enzyme to refold after denaturation.

Lines Of Evidence

The dimeric enzyme creatine kinase from rabbit muscle was treated with three derivatives of iodoacetamide that are capable of introducing fluorescent groups into the enzyme. All the three reagents (4-iodoacetamidosalicylate (IAS), 5-[N-(iodoacetamidoethyl)amino]-naphthalene-1-sulphonate (IAEDANS) and 6-(4-iodoacetamidophenyl)aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonate (IAANS)) were shown to react at the same single thiol group on each enzyme subunit, leading to complete inactivation of the enzyme. The reaction with IAS was extremely rapid by comparison with the reaction with iodoacetamide or iodoacetate, but various lines of evidence suggest that IAS is not a true affinity label. However, kinetic and binding studies indicate that salicylate itself probably binds at the nucleotide-binding site on the enzyme. As the size of the modifying reagent increased, the first thiol group reacted more rapidly than the second; this trend was more pronounced at 0 degree C than at 25 degree C. With the largest modifying reagent used (IAANS), the pronounced biphasic nature of the modification reaction permitted the preparation of a hybrid enzyme in which only one subunit was modified, but a study of the thiol-group reactivity showed that this hybrid enzyme preparation underwent subunit rearrangement.

Detailed Kinetics

As a depressant of the central nervous system, the clinical effect of sodium barbital has been extensively studied. Here we report on sodium barbital as an inhibitor of rabbit-muscle creatine kinase (CK), which plays a significant role in energy homeostasis in the muscles. Although sodium barbital gradually inhibits the activity of CK with increased concentration, the inhibition effect can be completely reversed by dilution, indicating that the inactivation process is reversible. Detailed kinetics analysis, according to a previously presented theory, indicates that sodium barbital functions as a non complexing inhibitor, and its inhibition effect on CK is a slow reversible inactivation. In this study, a kinetic model of the substrate reaction is presented, and the microscopic rate constants for the reaction of sodium barbital with the free enzyme and the enzyme–substrate complexes are determined. Kinetic analysis reveals that sodium barbital might compete with both creatine and ATP, but mainly with creatine, to inhibit the activity of CK. The results suggest that CK might be a target for sodium barbital in vivo.Key words: creatine kinase; inactivation; kinetics; sodium barbital.
