Mechanism of "L"-type pyruvate kinase from rabbit liver. Evidence against phosphoenzyme formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The "L"-type pyruvate kinase from rabbit liver does not catalyse exchange between phosphoenol[1-14C]pyruvate and pyruvate at either pH 8.5 or 6.2. Spectrophotometric experiments at pH 8.5 and 6;2 and gel-filtration experiments with [32P]phosphoenolpyruvate at pH 8,5 also fail to demonstrate phosphoenzyme formation. It is concluded that it is very unlikely that the enzyme has a phosphoenzyme mechanism.

Studies on possible phosphoryl enzyme formation in catalysis by hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, and glucose 6-phosphatase.
One possible mode of enzymic phosphoryli transfer involves formation of phosphoenzymes as intermediates. Thus far, however, convincing evidence for the formation of such intermediates has been obtained only for the phosphoglucomutase reaction (I, 2) and, to a lesser extent, for the phosphoglyceromutase reaction (3). Suggestive evidence has been reported for the participation of phosphoenzyme in...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism and stereochemical properties of the oxalacetate decarboxylase activity of pyruvate kinase.
When cod fish muscle oxalacetate decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxalacetate in the presence of NaBH4, L-lactate results from the reduction of enzyme-bound pyruvate. However, D-lactate results when borohydride reduces the binary enzyme-pyruvate complex formed by adding pyruvate from solution, as reported by others. This observation suggests that there are alternate mechanisms for...

Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates of liver cytosol with anti-(L-type pyruvate kinase) serum revealed proteins of mol.wt. 56000 and 42000 in addition to the heavy and light chains. The ratio of the 56000mol.wt. to the 42000mol.wt. protein increased under dietary conditions that resulted in an increase in the apparent specific activity of hepatic pyr...
متن کاملEvidence for a postsynthetic proteolytic transformation of human erythrocyte pyruvate kinase into L-type enzyme.
The relationship between liver (L-type) and erythrocyte pyruvate kinase remains a subject of discussion. It has been previously demonstrated that these enzymes are kinetically [ 1,2] and immunologltally [3-51 related. In some cases liver (Ltype) pyruvate kinase from patients with hereditary erythrocyte pyruvate kinase deficiency was shown to be defective [2,6-81. Erythrocyte and L-type enzymes,...
متن کاملPhosphoenolpyruvate mutase catalysis of phosphoryl transfer in phosphoenolpyruvate: kinetics and mechanism of phosphorus-carbon bond formation.
Phosphoenolpyruvate phosphomutase (PEP mutase) from Tetrahymena pyriformis catalyzes the rearrangement of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to phosphonopyruvate (P-pyr). A spectrophotometric P-pyr assay consisting of the coupled actions of P-pyr decarboxylase, phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase, and alcohol dehydrogenase was devised to monitor mutase catalysis. The reaction constants determined for PEP mu...
