The near attack conformation approach to the study of the chorismate to prephenate reaction.

چکیده
Standard free energies (DeltaGN degree) for formation of near attack conformers, those ground state conformers that can convert directly to the transition state, were calculated for the Claisen rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate in six different environments: water, wild-type enzymes from Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, their Arg90Cit and Glu52Ala mutants, and the 1F7 catalytic antibody. Values of the calculated DeltaGN degrees and the experimentally determined activation energies (DeltaG++) are linearly related with the slope of approximately equal to 1. This demonstrates that the relative rate of the chorismate --> prephenate reaction is overwhelmingly dependent on the efficiency of formation of near attack conformers in the ground state.

Purification, properties and immunological cross-reactivity
The bifunctional P protein (chorismate mutase : prephenate dehydratase) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus has been purified. It was homogeneous in polyacrylamide gels and was more than 95% pure on the basis of the immunostaining of purified P protein with the antibodies raised against the P protein. The native enzyme is a homodimer ( M , = 91 000) composed of 45-kDa subunits. A twofold increase ...
متن کاملEnzymes do what is expected (chalcone isomerase versus chorismate mutase).
Madicago sativa chalcone isomerase (CI) catalyzes the isomerization of chalcone to flavanone, whereas E. coli chorismate mutase (CM) catalyzes the pericyclic rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate. Covalent intermediates are not formed in either of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions, K(M) and k(cat) are virtually the same for both enzymes, and the rate constants (k(o)) for the noncatalyzed react...
متن کاملBinding of a high-energy substrate conformer in antibody catalysis.
Enzymes can substantially increase the probability of a reaction by exploiting binding energy to preorganize their substrates into reactive conformations. Similar effects are likely to be important in a wide variety of designed catalysts, including catalytic antibodies. Transferred nuclear Overhauser effects have been used here to investigate how an antibody possessing chorismate mutase activit...
متن کاملThe mechanism of catalysis of the chorismate to prephenate reaction by the Escherichia coli mutase enzyme.
Molecular dynamics studies of the Escherichia coli chorismate mutase (EcCM), containing at the active site chorismate and in turn the transition state (TS), have been performed. The simulations show that TS is not bound any tighter than chorismate. Comparison of average polar interactions show they are virtually identical for interactions of EcCM with chorismate and the TS, whereas hydrophobic ...

IOCHEMICAL investigations of the phenylalanine-tyrosine specific portion of the aromatic pathmway reveal a reaction sequence depicted in Figure 1. Although the organisms studied use similar intermediates to accomplish phenylalanine and tyrosine synthesis, some important functional differences exist. Aerobacter aerogenes and Escherichia coli W possess two molecular forms of chorismate mutase sep...
