Amino acid sequence around lipoic acid residues in the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amino-acid sequences around two lipoic acid residues in the lipoate acetyltransferase component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex of Escherichia coli were investigated. A single amino acid sequence of 13 residues was found. A repeated amino acid sequence in the lipoate acetyltransferase chain might explain this result.

Spin-label study of the mobility of enzyme-bound lipoic acid in the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli.
The lipoic acid residues covalently bound to the transacetylase component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli were selectively modified by reaction with 4-maleimido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino-oxyl. The electron-spin-resonance spectrum of the spin-labelled enzyme indicates that the bound nitroxide groups have high mobilities relative to the protein molecule. ...
متن کاملEvidence for two lipoic acid residues per lipoate acetyltransferase chain in the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli.
The reaction of two maleimides, N-ethylmaleimide and bis-(N-maleimidomethyl) ether, with the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli in the presence of the substrate, pyruvate, was examined. In both cases, the reaction was demonstrated to be almost exclusively with the lipoate acetyltransferase component, and evidence is presented to show that the most likely sites of rea...
متن کاملKinetic analysis of the role of lipoic acid residues in the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli.
The catalytic roles of the two reductively acetylatable lipoic acid residues on each lipoate acetyltransferase chain of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex of Escherichia coli were investigated. Both lipoyl groups are reductively acetylated from pyruvate at the same apparent rate and both can transfer their acetyl groups to CoASH, part-reactions of the overall complex reaction. The complex was t...

The extent of cooperativity among the polypeptide chain components in the overall reaction catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex from Escherichia coli has been studied. Selective inactivation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase component with thiamin thiazolone pyrophosphate demonstrates that no cooperativity between this component and the overall catalytic reaction occurs: the ...

The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli was treated with trypsin at pH 7.0 at 0 degrees C. Loss of the overall catalytic activity was accompanied by rapid cleavage of the lipoate succinyltransferase polypeptide chains, this apparent Mr falling from 50 000 to 36 000 as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. A slower shortening of th...
