Substrate binding is the rate-limiting step in thromboxane synthase catalysis.
Thromboxane synthase (TXAS) is a "non-classical" cytochrome P450. Without any need for an external electron donor, or for a reductase or molecular oxygen, it uses prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to catalyze either an isomerization reaction to form thromboxane A2 (TXA2) or a fragmentation reaction to form 12-l-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid and malondialdehyde (MDA) at a ratio of 1:1:1 (TXA2:hept...
متن کاملSubstrate Controlled Divergence in Polyketide Synthase Catalysis
Biochemical characterization of polyketide synthases (PKSs) has relied on synthetic substrates functionalized as electrophilic esters to acylate the enzyme and initiate the catalytic cycle. In these efforts, N-acetylcysteamine thioesters have typically been employed for in vitro studies of full PKS modules as well as excised domains. However, substrate engineering approaches to control the cata...
متن کاملQuestion Is phosphofructokinase the rate - limiting step of glycolysis ?
The quantitative aspects o f the regulation of glycolytic flux are still not well established. Even though convincing evidence that phosphofructokinase (PFK) participates in the regulation of the flux has been provided only for erythrocytes (albeit hexokinase seems to be more important in this respect) s, it is accepted that PFK is the main rate-controlling enzyme of glycolysis in different tis...
متن کاملCatalysis by acetylcholinesterase: evidence that the rate-limiting step for acylation with certain substrates precedes general acid-base catalysis.
Inferences about the catalytic mechanism of acetylcholinesterase (acetylcholine hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.7) are frequently made on the basis of a presumed analogy with chymotrypsin, EC 3.4.21.1. Although both enzymes are serine hydrolases, several differences in the steady-state kinetic properties of the two have been observed. In this report particular attention is focused on the second-order react...
متن کاملMurine erythroid 5-aminolevulinate synthase: Adenosyl-binding site Lys221 modulates substrate binding and catalysis
5-Aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) catalyzes the initial step of mammalian heme biosynthesis, the condensation between glycine and succinyl-CoA to produce CoA, CO2, and 5-aminolevulinate. The crystal structure of Rhodobacter capsulatus ALAS indicates that the adenosyl moiety of succinyl-CoA is positioned in a mainly hydrophobic pocket, where the ribose group forms a putative hydrogen bond with L...
