Atypical transient state kinetics of recombinant human dihydrofolate reductase produced by hysteretic behavior. Comparison with dihydrofolate reductases from other sources.
The transient state kinetics of catalysis for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from several enzyme sources including highly purified recombinant human enzyme (rHDHFR) have been examined. Like DHFR from Escherichia coli, the enzyme from Lactobacillus casei, and isoenzyme 2 from Streptococcus faecium exhibit a slow increase in activity upon addition of substrates to enzyme. No slow hysteresis of th...
متن کاملSingle-molecule and transient kinetics investigation of the interaction of dihydrofolate reductase with NADPH and dihydrofolate.
The interaction of dihydrofolate (H(2)F) and NADPH with a fluorescent derivative of H(2)F reductase (DHFR) was studied by using transient and single-molecule techniques. The fluorescent moiety Alexa 488 was attached to the structural loop that closes over the substrates after they are bound. Fluorescence quenching was found to accompany the binding of both substrates and the hydride transfer re...
متن کاملKinetics of the formation and isomerization of methotrexate complexes of recombinant human dihydrofolate reductase.
The kinetics of inhibitor binding to highly purified recombinant human dihydrofolate reductase (rHDHFR) have been examined. Methotrexate (MTX) binds rapidly (kon = 1.0 x 10(8) M-1 s-1) and tightly (koff/kon = 210 pM) to the preformed complex of rHDHFR with NADPH. The initial association reaction between rHDHFR.NADPH and MTX is followed by an isomerization of the resulting complex (kiso = 0.4 s-...
متن کاملPurification of Recombinant Gfp Produced by Agrobacterum Mediated Transient
16 Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is commonly used as a reporter protein in a wide range of biological experiments. The efficient protocol of Agrobacterium mediated transient expres sion in Nicotiana excelsior was applied for quick preparative production of recombinant GFP. The protein purification scheme has been developed and included ammonium sulfate precipitation and Q sepharose anion exch...
متن کاملExpression and characterization of recombinant human-derived Pneumocystis carinii dihydrofolate reductase.
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is the target of trimethoprim (TMP), which has been widely used in combination with sulfa drugs for treatment and prophylaxis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. While the rat-derived P. carinii DHFR has been well characterized, kinetic studies of human-derived P. carinii DHFR, which differs from rat-derived P. carinii DHFR by 38% in amino acid sequence, have not b...
