Mechanism of the Aldolase Reaction.

چکیده
Upon treatment with carboxypeptidase, muscle aldolase (ketose-l-phosphate aldehyde-lyase, EC 4.1.2.7) loses 3 COOHterminal tyrosine residues (3, 4) and exhibits a 20-fold fall in the rate of fructose diphosphate cleavage (3) and a 500-fold fall in the rate of exchange detritiation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (5). The cleavage of fructose-l-P is relatively unchanged (3). The present investigation shows that it is not necessary to invoke an unusual explanation (6) for these differential effects but that they follow from the fact that different steps are rate-determining in the three processes examined and hence these would not be expected to change concomitantly when only a single reaction step has been modified by the carboxypeptidase treatment, as will be shown is the case. By use of isotope exchange at equilibrium, comparing native with carboxypeptidase modified enzyme, information is obtained about the order of substrate reaction with the enzyme in the condensation reaction. Further exchange experiments are done in an attempt to observe isomerization steps in the mechanism.

The Mechanism of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconic Aldolase.
In the original study of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconic aldolase (I), and in subsequent experiments, the net synthesis of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate from the cleavage products could not be demonstrated. The present experiments were undertaken to clarify this point and to test the conformity of the reaction catalyzed by 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconic aldolase to the general characteri...
متن کاملEnhanced aldolase activity and glycolysis as short term effects of hydrogen cyanide for the release of dormancy in walnut kernels
Seed dormancy removal by cold stratification is accompanied by the development of gluconeogenic competence. Although hydrogen cyanide can stimulate the germination of many herbaceous dormant seeds and increase gluconeogenesis in long term, its short-term effects on sugar metabolism require further investigation. Accordingly, an experiment in the form of complete randomized design was carried ou...
متن کاملEvolution of aldolase antibodies in vitro: correlation of catalytic activity and reaction-based selection.
Aldolase antibodies that operate via an enamine mechanism were developed by in vitro selection. Antibody Fab phage display libraries were created where the catalytic active site residues of aldolase antibodies 38C2 and 33F12 were combined with a naive human antibody V gene repertoire. Selection from these libraries with 1,3-diketones covalently trapped the amino groups of reactive lysine residu...
متن کاملIdentification of a hydratase and a class II aldolase involved in biodegradation of the organic solvent tetralin.
Two new genes whose products are involved in biodegradation of the organic solvent tetralin were identified. These genes, designated thnE and thnF, are located downstream of the previously identified thnD gene and code for a hydratase and an aldolase, respectively. A sequence comparison of enzymes similar to ThnE showed the significant similarity of hydratases involved in biodegradation pathway...
متن کاملAldolase activity of serum albumins.
Bovine and human serum albumins catalyze the aldol reaction of aromatic aldehyedes and acetone, with saturation kinetics and moderate and opposite enantioselectivity. The reaction occurs at the binding site in domain IIa, and is inhibited by warfarin. Kinetic data are consistent with an enamine mechanism. The activity is conserved in a 103 aminoacid peptide derived from the albumin sequence.
