The kinetic mechanism of specific inhibition by Zn2+ of ribonuclease T1 catalysis was studied by steady-state kinetic analysis of transphosphorylation of dinucleotides, GpCp(3′), GpUp(2′) and GpUp(3′), and dinucleoside monophosphates, GpC and GpU. The inhibition was not simply competitive, non-competitive or uncompetitive, but the kinetic data were compatible with a mechanism of ‘fully mixed inhibition’ in which a fully non-competitive action was associated with a partially competitive action. Apparent equilibrium quotients involved in this model of inhibition were determined for the dinucleotide substrates, and we found that binding of either of Zn2+ and substrate was facilitated when the other was bound. The location of Zn2+ was suggested to be near His-40 and/or His-92 of the ribonuclease T1 molecule.

In the present study, the enzymatic mechanism of ERK2 is re-examined by a combination of steady-state kinetic studies in the absence and presence of viscosogenic agents. Kinetic studies carried out in various concentrations of sucrose revealed that both kcat and kcat/Km for either ATP or EtsΔ138 were highlysensitive to solvent viscosity, suggesting that the rapid equilibrium assumption is not valid for the phosphorylation of protein substrate by ERK2. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis with the minimal random Bi Bi reaction mechanism is shown to be inconsistent with the principle of the detailed balance. This inconsistent calculation strongly suggests that there is isomerization of the enzyme-substrate ternary complex. The viscosity-dependent steady-state kinetic data are combined to establish a kinetic mechanism for the ERK2-catalyzed reaction that predicts initial reaction velocities under varying concentrations of ATP and substrate. These results complement previous structure-function studies of mitogen-activated protein kinases and provide important insight for mechanistic interpretation of the kinase functions.

Trehalose Phosphorylase

Fungal trehalose phosphorylase is classified as a family 4 glucosyltransferase that catalyses the reversible phosphorolysis of α,α-trehalose with net retention of anomeric configuration. Glucosyl transfer to and from phosphate takes place by the partly rate-limiting interconversion of ternary enzyme–substrate complexes formed from binary enzyme–phosphate and enzyme–α-d-glucopyranosyl phosphate adducts respectively. To advance a model of the chemical mechanism of trehalose phosphorylase, we performed a steady-state kinetic study with the purified enzyme from the basidiomycete fungus Schizophyllum commune by using alternative substrates, inhibitors and combinations thereof in pairs as specific probes of substrate-binding recognition and transition-state structure. Orthovanadate is a competitive inhibitor against phosphate and α-d-glucopyranosyl phosphate, and binds 3×104-fold tighter (Ki≈ 1μM) than phosphate. Structural alterations of d-glucose at C-2 and O-5 are tolerated by the enzyme at subsite +1. They lead to parallel effects of approximately the same magnitude (slope = 1.14; r2 = 0.98) on the reciprocal catalytic efficiency for reverse glucosyl transfer [log (Km/kcat)] and the apparent affinity of orthovanadate determined in the presence of the respective glucosyl acceptor (log Ki). An adduct of orthovanadate and the nucleophile/leaving group bound at subsite +1 is therefore the true inhibitor and displays partial transition state analogy. Isofagomine binds to subsite −1 in the enzyme–phosphate complex with a dissociation constant of 56μM and inhibits trehalose phosphorylase at least 20-fold better than 1-deoxynojirimycin. The specificity of the reversible azasugars inhibitors would be explained if a positive charge developed on C-1 rather than O-5 in the proposed glucosyl cation-like transition state of the reaction. The results are discussed in the context of α-retaining glucosyltransferase mechanisms that occur with and without a β-glucosyl enzyme intermediate.

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.
