Identification of putative active site residues of ACAT enzymes.
In this report, we sought to determine the putative active site residues of ACAT enzymes. For experimental purposes, a particular region of the C-terminal end of the ACAT protein was selected as the putative active site domain due to its high degree of sequence conservation from yeast to humans. Because ACAT enzymes have an intrinsic thioesterase activity, we hypothesized that by analogy with t...
متن کاملIdentification of active-site residues of sheep liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase.
Chemical modification of amino acid residues with phenylglyoxal, N-ethylmaleimide and diethyl pyrocarbonate indicated that at least one residue each of arginine, cysteine and histidine were essential for the activity of sheep liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The second-order rate constants for inactivation were calculated to be 0.016 mM-1 X min-1 for phenylglyoxal, 0.52 mM-1 X min-1 for N...
متن کاملIdentification of active site residues of Escherichia coli fumarate reductase by site-directed mutagenesis.
Menaquinol-fumarate oxidoreductase of Escherichia coli is a four-subunit membrane-bound complex that catalyzes the final step in anaerobic respiration when fumarate is the terminal electron acceptor. The enzyme is structurally and catalytically similar to succinate dehydrogenase (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) from both procaryotes and eucaryotes. Both enzymes have been proposed to contai...
متن کاملLysine residues involved in the active site
Egg-white avidin was treated with 1 -fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Modification of an average of one lysine residue per avidin subunit caused the complete loss of biotin binding. Tryptic peptides obtained from the 2,4-dinitrophenylated avidin were fractionated by reversed-phase h.p.l.c. Three peptides contained the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group. Amino acid analysis revealed that lysine residues 45, 94 a...
متن کاملIdentification of Active-Site Histidine Residues of a Self-lncompatibility Ribonuclease from a Wild Tomato’
The style component of the self-incompatibility (S) locus of the wild tomato Lycopersicon peruvianum (L.) Mill. is an allelic series of glycoproteins with ribonuclease activity (S-RNases). Treatment of the S,-RNase from L . peruvianum with iodoacetate at p H 6.1 led to a loss of RNase activity. In the presence of a competitive inhibitor, guanosine 3”Ionophosphate (3‘-CMP), the rate of RNase ina...
