Catalysis of phosphoryl transfer by prostatic acid phosphatase.
As part of a study on enzymic catalysis of group transfer, this laboratory has previously reported on the enzymic transfer of the glucuronyl radical from a variety of donor substrates to a number of acceptor alcohols (1). The phenomenon was studied in detail and conditions for efficient group transfer were investigated. The present paper reports the use of a similar approach in studying the aci...
متن کاملCatalysis of Phosphoryl Transfer from ATP by Amine Nucleophiles
Phosphoryl transfer from the high-energy phosphate donor ATP is ubiquitous in biological chemistry, and nitrogen nucleophiles, especially histidine, often serve as in vivo acceptors of the γ-phosphate of ATP. Nevertheless, nonenzymatic reactions of ATP with amines have not previously been characterized. We have therefore examined phosphoryl transfer from ATP to amines to provide a basis for und...
متن کاملLewis acid catalysis of phosphoryl transfer from a copper(II)-NTP complex in a kinase ribozyme
The chemical strategies used by ribozymes to enhance reaction rates are revealed in part from their metal ion and pH requirements. We find that kinase ribozyme K28(1-77)C, in contrast with previously characterized kinase ribozymes, requires Cu(2+) for optimal catalysis of thiophosphoryl transfer from GTPγS. Phosphoryl transfer from GTP is greatly reduced in the absence of Cu(2+), indicating a s...
متن کاملBiological phosphoryl-transfer reactions: understanding mechanism and catalysis.
Phosphoryl-transfer reactions are central to biology. These reactions also have some of the slowest nonenzymatic rates and thus require enormous rate accelerations from biological catalysts. Despite the central importance of phosphoryl transfer and the fascinating catalytic challenges it presents, substantial confusion persists about the properties of these reactions. This confusion exists desp...
متن کاملProstatic Acid Phosphatase: A Potpourri*
In 1938, Gutman et al. (6) described increased levels of acid phosphatase in metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. Since then, when most of us hear the term "acid phosphatase" we immediately think of prostatic cancer, and justifiably so. The link, however, between the test and the diagnosis is not as clear and simple as many of us would like to believe. I would first like to discuss this enzyme...
