Pre-steady-state reaction of 5-aminolevulinate synthase. Evidence for a rate-determining product release.
5-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) is the first enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway in non-plant eukaryotes and the alpha-subclass of purple bacteria. The pyridoxal 5'-phosphate cofactor at the active site undergoes changes in absorptive properties during substrate binding and catalysis that have allowed us to study the kinetics of these reactions spectroscopically. Rapid scanning stopped-fl...
متن کاملPre-steady-state kinetic analysis of riboflavin synthase using a pentacyclic reaction intermediate as substrate.
Riboflavin synthase catalyses a mechanistically complex dismutation affording riboflavin and 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H )-pyrimidinedione from 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine. A pentacyclic adduct (compound 2 ) of two substrate molecules was used as substrate for pre-steady-state kinetic analysis. Whereas the wild-type enzyme catalyses the decomposition of compound 2 into a mixture of ribo...
متن کاملChorismate synthase. Pre-steady-state kinetics of phosphate release from 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate.
The pre-steady-state kinetics of phosphate formation from 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate catalysed by Escherichia coli chorismate synthase (EC 4.6.1.4) were studied by a rapid-acid-quench technique at 25 degrees C at pH 7.5. No pre-steady-state 'burst' or 'lag' phase was observed, showing that phosphate is released concomitant with the rate-limiting step of the enzyme. The implications of t...
متن کاملRegulation of 5-aminolevulinate synthase mRNA in different rat tissues.
cDNA clones for rat liver 5-aminolevulinate synthase have been isolated and used to examine mRNA levels in different rat tissues. Northern hybridization analysis of total RNA from various rat tissues showed the presence of a single 5-aminolevulinate synthase mRNA species of estimated length 2.3 kilobases. Primer extension and RNase mapping studies indicated that the mRNA is identical in all tis...
متن کاملMode of binding of pyridoxal phosphate to 5-aminolevulinate synthase.
5-Aminolevulinate synthase of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides interacts with its cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate, and shows an absorption maximum at 430 nm with a probable shoulder at 320--330 nm. The enzyme-PLP complex absorbing at 430 nm is the predominant species at pH 7.2 and can be reduced by NaBH4 at neutral pH with a spectral shift of the absorption maximum to 325 nm. These data suggests the f...
