The kinetic mechanism of rat liver hexokinase D ('glucokinase') was studied under non-co-operative conditions with 2-deoxyglucose as substrate, chosen to avoid uncertainties derived from the co-operativity observed with the physiological substrate, glucose. The enzyme shows hyperbolic kinetics with respect to both 2-deoxyglucose and MgATP2-, and the reaction follows a ternary-complex mechanism with Km = 19.2±2.3mM for 2-deoxyglucose and 0.56±0.05mM for MgATP2-. Product inhibition by MgADP- was mixed with respect to MgATP2- and was largely competitive with respect to 2-deoxyglucose, suggesting an ordered mechanism with 2-deoxyglucose as first substrate and MgADP- as last product. Dead-end inhibition by N-acetylglucosamine, AMP and the inert complex CrATP [the complex of ATP with chromium in the 3+ oxidation state, i.e. Cr(III)—ATP], studied with respect to both substrates, also supports an ordered mechanism with 2-deoxyglucose as first substrate. AMP appears to bind both to the free enzyme and to the E·dGlc complex. Experiments involving protection against inactivation by 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) support the existence of the E·MgADP- and E·AMP complexes suggested by the kinetic studies. MgADP-, AMP, 2-deoxyglucose, glucose and mannose were strong protectors, supporting the existence of binary complexes with the enzyme. Glucose 6-phosphate failed to protect, even at concentrations as high as 100mM, and MgATP2- protected only slightly (12%). The inactivation results support the postulated ordered mechanism with 2-deoxyglucose as first substrate and MgADP- as last product. In addition, the straight-line dependence observed when the reciprocal value of the inactivation constant was plotted against the sugar-ligand concentration supports the view that there is just one sugar-binding site in hexokinase D.

Isocitrate lyase was purified from Phycomyces blakesleeanus N.R.R.L. 1555(-). The native enzyme has an Mr of 240,000. The enzyme appeared to be a tetramer with apparently identical subunits of Mr 62,000. The enzyme requires Mg2+ for activity, and the data suggest that the Mg2(+)-isocitrate complex is the true substrate and that Mg2+ ions act as a non-essential activator. The kinetic mechanism of the enzyme was investigated by using product and dead-end inhibitors of the cleavage and condensation reactions. The data indicated an ordered Uni Bi mechanism and the kinetic constants of the model were calculated. The spectrophotometric titration of thiol groups in Phycomyces isocitrate lyase with 5.5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) gave two free thiol groups per subunit of enzyme in the native state and three in the denatured state. The isocitrate lyase was completely inactivated by iodoacetate, with non-linear kinetics. The inactivation data suggest that the enzyme has two classes of modifiable thiol groups. The results are also in accord with the formation of a non-covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex before irreversible modification of the enzyme. Both the equilibrium constants for formation of the complex and the first-order rate constants for the irreversible modification step were determined. The partial protective effect of isocitrate and Mg2+ against iodoacetate inactivation was investigated in a preliminary form.

1. The supernatant obtained by centrifugation of a rat liver homogenate at 100000g for 1h contained a heat-labile macromolecular inhibitor of the thrombin–fibrinogen reaction. 2. The inhibitor was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by repeated preparative polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis. Inhibition was observed with purified inhibitor equivalent to about 1μg of protein/ml. 3. The inhibitor had a pI of 3.50–3.75, a molecular weight (from sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis) of 72000±3000 and was inactivated by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate or 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). 4. Kinetic studies revealed a non-competitive inhibition, with the inhibitor probably acting on the thrombin–fibrinogen complex.

Glyoxylate Reductase

Kinetic analysis of substrate specificity revealed that a recombinant Arabidopsis protein catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycolate (Km,glyoxylate = 4.5 μmol·L–1) and succinic semialdehyde (SSA) to γ-hydroxybutyrate (Km, SSA = 0.87 mmol·L–1) via an essentially irreversible, NADPH-based mechanism. In this report, the enzyme was further characterized via initial-velocity, dead-end inhibition and product inhibition studies. The kinetic mechanism was ordered Bi Bi, involving the complexation of NADPH to the enzyme before glyoxylate or SSA, and the release of NADP+ before glycolate or γ-hydroxybutyrate, respectively. It can be concluded that the enzyme functions as a NADPH-dependent glyoxylate reductase (EC 1.1.1.79) or possibly an aldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.2), and the kinetic mechanism involved is consistent with that found in members of both the aldo-keto reductase and 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase-related superfamilies of enzymes. Since NADP+ was an effective competitive inhibitor with respect to NADPH (Ki = 1–3 µmol·L–1), it is proposed that the ratio of NADPH/NADP+ regulates enzymatic activity in planta.

The kinetic mechanism of homogeneous human glutamic-gamma-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.12) with glutamic gamma-semialdehyde as substrate was determined by initial-velocity, product-inhibition and dead-end-inhibition studies to be compulsory ordered with rapid interconversion of the ternary complexes (Theorell-Chance). Product-inhibition studies with NADH gave a competitive pattern versus varied NAD+ concentrations and a non-competitive pattern versus varied glutamic gamma-semialdehyde concentrations, whereas those with glutamate gave a competitive pattern versus varied glutamic gamma-semialdehyde concentrations and a non-competitive pattern versus varied NAD+ concentrations. The order of substrate binding and release was determined by dead-end-inhibition studies with ADP-ribose and L-proline as the inhibitors and shown to be: NAD+ binds to the enzyme first, followed by glutamic gamma-semialdehyde, with glutamic acid being released before NADH. The Kia and Kib values were 15 +/- 7 microM and 12.5 microM respectively, and the Ka and Kb values were 374 +/- 40 microM and 316 +/- 36 microM respectively; the maximal velocity V was 70 +/- 5 mumol of NADH/min per mg of enzyme. Both NADH and glutamate were product inhibitors, with Ki values of 63 microM and 15,200 microM respectively. NADH release from the enzyme may be the rate-limiting step for the overall reaction.

The NADH-dependent morphinone reductase from Pseudomonas putida M10 catalyses the reduction of morphinone and codeinone to hydromorphone and hydrocodone respectively. Morphinone reductase was purified from crude cell extracts to apparent homogeneity in a single affinity-chromatography step using Mimetic Yellow 2. The purified enzyme was a dimeric flavoprotein with two identical subunits of M(r) 41,100, binding non-covalently one molecule of FMN per subunit. The N-terminal sequence was PDTSFSNPGLFTPLQ. Morphinone reductase was active against morphinone, codeinone, neopinone and 2-cyclohexen-1-one, but not against morphine, codeine or isocodeine. The apparent Km values for codeinone and 2-cyclohexen-1-one were 0.26 mM and 5.5 mM respectively. The steroids progesterone and cortisone were potent competitive inhibitors; the apparent K1 for cortisone was 35 microM. The pH optimum for codeinone reduction was 8.0 in phosphate buffer. No reverse reaction could be detected, and NADPH could not be used as a reducing substrate in place of NADH. Morphinone reductase activity was strongly inhibited by 0.01 mM CuSO4 and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, suggesting the presence of a vital thiol group. Steady-state kinetic studies suggested a Ping Pong (substituted enzyme) kinetic mechanism; however, product-inhibition patterns were inconsistent with a classical Ping Pong mechanism. Morphinone reductase may, like several other flavoprotein dehydrogenases, operate by a hybrid two-site Ping Pong mechanism.

Rate Limiting

1. The kinetic mechanism of formate dehydrogenase is a sequential pathway. 2. The binding of the substrates proceeds in an obligatory order, NAD+ binding first, followed by formate. 3. It seems most likely that the interconversion of the central ternary complex is extremely rapid, and that the rate-limiting step is the formation or possible isomerization of the enzyme–coenzyme complexes. 4. The secondary plots of the inhibitions with HCO3− and NO3− are non-linear, which suggests that more than one molecule of each species is able to bind to the same enzyme form. 5. The rate of the reverse reaction with carbon dioxide at pH6.0 is 20 times that with bicarbonate at pH8.0, although no product inhibition could be detected with carbon dioxide. The low rate of the reverse reaction precluded any steady-state analysis as the enzyme concentrations needed to obtain a measurable rate are of the same order as the Km values for NAD+ and NADH.

Catalytic Role

Morphine dehydrogenase (MDH) of Pseudomonas putida M10 catalyses the NADP+-dependent oxidation of morphine and codeine to morphinone and codeinone. This enzyme forms the basis of a sensitive detection and assay method for heroin metabolites and a biotransformation process for production of hydromorphone and hydrocodone. To improve these processes we have undertaken a thorough examination of the kinetic mechanism of MDH. Sequence comparisons indicated that MDH belongs within the aldose reductase enzyme family. MDH was shown to be specific for the pro-R hydrogen of NADPH. In steady-state kinetic studies, product inhibition patterns suggested that MDH follows a Theorell-Chance mechanism for codeinone reduction at pH 7, and a non-Theorell-Chance sequential ordered mechanism for codeine oxidation at pH 9.5. Residues corresponding to the catalytically important Tyr-48, Lys-77 and Asp-43 of aldose reductase were modified by site-directed mutagenesis, resulting in substantial loss of activity consistent with a catalytic role for these residues. Loss of activity of MDH in the presence of the reaction product morphinone was found to be due to the formation of a covalent adduct with Cys-80; alteration of Cys-80 to serine resulted in an enzyme with greatly enhanced stability.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

1. The glutathione S-transferase that catalyses the reaction of 1-menaphthyl (naphth-1-ylmethyl) sulphate with GSH was purified 76-fold from rat liver. 2. The properties of the purified enzyme were studied by gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. 3. The initial-velocity pattern in the absence of products and the product-inhibition pattern have been determined. These are consistent with an Ordered Bi Bi mechanism in which the GSH adds to the enzyme before 1-menaphthyl sulphate and the products are released in the order SO42−followed by S-(1-menaphthyl)glutathione. 4. Dead-end-inhibition studies with p-aminobenzoic acid, which has been shown to be competitive with GSH and non-competitive with 1-menaphthyl sulphate, support the suggestion that an Ordered Bi Bi mechanism is operative. 5. Values were determined for some of the dissociation and Michaelis constants for the reaction of the substrates and products with the enzyme. 6. It appears that S-(1-menaphthyl)glutathione activates the enzyme when the concentration of GSH is saturating and that of 1-menaphthyl sulphate is low (of the order of its Michaelis constant).

1. The reversible NAD+-linked oxidation of d-3-hydroxybutyrate to acetoacetate in 0.1m-sodium pyrophosphate buffer, pH8.5, at 25.0°C, catalysed by d-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (d-3-hydroxybutyrate–NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.30), was studied by initial-velocity, dead-end inhibition and product-inhibition analysis. 2. The reactions were carried out on (a) the soluble enzyme from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and (b) an insoluble derivative of this enzyme prepared by its covalent attachment to DEAE-cellulose by using 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine as coupling agent. 3. The insolubilized enzyme preparation contained 5mg of protein/g wet wt. of total material, and when freshly prepared its specific activity was 1.2μmol/min per mg of protein, which is 67% of that of the soluble dialysed enzyme. 4. The reactions catalysed by both the enzyme in solution and the insolubilized enzyme were shown to follow sequential pathways in which the nicotinamide nucleotides bind obligatorily first to the enzyme. Evidence is presented for kinetically significant ternary complexes and that the rate-limiting step(s) of both catalyses probably involves isomerization of the enzyme–nicotinamide nucleotide complexes and/or dissociation of the nicotinamide nucleotides from the enzyme. Both catalyses therefore are probably best described as ordered Bi Bi mechanisms, possibly with multiple enzyme–nicotinamide nucleotide complexes. 5. The kinetic parameters and the calculable rate constants for the catalysis by the soluble enzyme are similar to the corresponding parameters and rate constants for the catalysis by the insolubilized enzyme.

Parameter Values

The kinetic mechanism of SCS [succinyl-CoA (coenzyme A) synthetase], which participates in the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle, ketone body metabolism and haem biosynthesis, has not been fully characterized. Namely, a representative catalytic mechanism and associated kinetic parameters that can explain data on the enzyme-catalysed reaction kinetics have not been established. To determine an accurate model, a set of putative mechanisms of SCS, proposed by previous researchers, were tested against experimental data (from previous publication) on SCS derived from porcine myocardium. Based on comparisons between model simulation and the experimental data, an ordered ter–ter mechanism with dead-end product inhibition of succinate against succinyl-CoA is determined to be the best candidate mechanism. A thermodynamically constrained set of parameter values is identified for this candidate mechanism.
