Pyridoxal arsenate as a prosthetic group for aspartate aminotransferase.
The apoenzyme of aspartate aminotransferase formed a stable, active holoenzyme on treatment with pyridoxal in the presence of arsenate.
متن کاملTransfer of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate from albumin-pyridoxal 5'-phosphate complex to apo-aspartate aminotransferase.
Pyridoxal 5•L-phosphate (PLP) is known to combine with bovine serum albumin to form a(1:1) complex which scarcely dissociates, even when subjected to intensive dialysis. When this complex was incubated with apo-aspartate aminotransferase (apoGOT) for an appropriate time and the preincubated mixture then submitted to the usual GOT assay, the appearance of GOT activity was obviously confirmed, in...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of a pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent enzyme, mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase.
X-ray diffraction studies to 2.8-A resolution have yielded the three-dimensional structure of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1), an isologous alpha 2 dimer (Mr = 2 x 45,000). The subunits are rich in secondary structure and contain two domains, one of which anchors the coenzyme, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Each active site lies betwee...
متن کاملInfluence of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate on the determination of the alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase of commercial test sera.
The influence of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate on the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase from commercial test sera was investigated. Enhancement of the activity of alanine aminotransferase by the coenzyme is about 20% when 0.1 mmol/1 of pyridoxal-S'-phosphate is added to the reaction medium. This concentration seems sufficient for full saturation of the apoenzyme. Fo...
متن کاملEffects of buffers on aspartate aminotransferase activity and association of the enzyme with pyridoxal phosphate.
Using purified enzymes of human origin and patients' sera, we examined factors influencing the in vitro association of pyridoxal phosphate with aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1). The rate of association was markedly retarded by phosphate buffer in comparison with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane or six other buffers. Pyridoxal phosphate at an incubation concentration of 130 mumol/liter rea...
