Studies on the enolization of pyruvate by pyruvate kinase.
Unlike the usual “kinase” reaction between ATP and an alcohol, pyruvate kinase catalyzes phosphate transfer to an oxygen which in the substrate, pyruvate, is in carbonyl linkage. It is of particular interest to ask whether enolization of pyruvate occurs sufficiently rapidly under physiological conditions so that the true substrate for the enzyme may be the enol form of pyruvate. In the work rep...
متن کاملPrevalence of Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency among the Newborns (Shiraz-Iran)
Background: The frequency of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, an autosomal recessive defect, is approximately 3 per 10,000 individuals in Shiraz and surrounding areas, and is increased due to high consanguinity marriage frequency. The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the frequency and spectrum of gene mutation of PK in newborns, from Shiraz and surrounding areas. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملRequirement of monovalent cations for enolization of pyruvate by pyruvate, phosphate dikinase.
Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase from Bacteroides symbiosas catalyzes the formation of AMP, PP,, and P-enolpyruvate from ATP, Pi, and pyruvate. The reaction occurs by a nonclassical Tri Uni Uni Ping Pong mechanism involving phosphoryl and pyrophosphoryl forms of the enzyme. There are three functionally distinct substrate sites, the first catalyzing an ATP/AMP exchange, the second, a Pi/PPi exchange...
متن کاملComputer simulation studies of mammalian pyruvate kinase.
Construction of a digital computer model based on measured kinetic constants of the pyruvate kinase reaction is described. A model omitting divalent cation activator is shown to behave in agreement with observation, and is then used to clarify the quantitative role of this enzyme in the control of glycolysis. The reaction velocity may increase by a factor of 2 to 4 on going from aerobic to anae...
متن کاملKinetic studies on the regulation of rabbit liver pyruvate kinase.
Two kinetically distinct forms of pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) were isolated from rabbit liver by using differential ammonium sulphate fractionation. The L or liver form, which is allosterically activated by fructose 1,6-diphosphate, was partially purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography to give a maximum specific activity of 20 units/mg. The L form was allosterically activated by K(+) and op...
