Interaction between Citrate Synthase and Malate Dehydrogenase
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interactions between pig heart citrate synthase and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase or cytosolic malate dehydrogenase were studied using the frontal analysis method of gel filtration and by precipitation in polyethylene glycol. This method showed that an interaction between citrate synthase and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase occurred but no interaction between citrate synthase and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase. Channeling of oxaloacetate in the malate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase-coupled systems was tested using polyethylene glycol precipitates of citrate synthase and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase. The effectiveness of large amounts of aspartate aminotransferase and oxaloacetate decarboxylase, as competing enzymes for the intermediate oxaloacetate, was examined. Aspartate aminotransferase and oxaloacetate decarboxylase were less effective competitors for oxaloacetate when precipitated citrate synthase and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase in polyethylene glycol was used at low ionic strength compared with free enzymes in the absence of polyethylene glycol or with a co-precipitate of citrate synthase and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase. Substrate channeling of oxaloacetate with citrate synthase-mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase precipitate was inefficient at high ionic strength. These effects could be explained through electrostatic interactions of mitochondrial but not cytosolic malate dehydrogenase with citrate synthase.

متن کاملQuantitation of the interaction between citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase.
Formation of a bienzyme complex of pig heart mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase in a buffered system is demonstrated by means of a covalently attached fluorescent probe to citrate synthase. Assuming 1:1 stoichiometry of the enzymes in the complex, an apparent dissociation constant of 10(-6) M was calculated from fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The effect of various me...
متن کاملThe interaction of yeast citrate synthase with yeast mitochondrial inner membranes.
The specific interaction of yeast citrate synthase with yeast mitochondrial inner membranes was characterized with respect to saturability of binding, pH optimum, effect of ionic strength, temperature response, and inhibition by oxalacetate. The binding ability of the inner membranes is inhibited by proteolysis and heat treatment, which implies that the membrane component(s) responsible for bin...

NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I) of the mitochondrial inner membrane respiratory chain binds a number of mitochondrial matrix NAD-linked dehydrogenases. These include pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, and &hydroxyacylCoA dehydrogenase. No binding was detected between complex I and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, gluta...
متن کاملEquilibrium constants of the malate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, citrate lyase, and acetyl coenzyme A hydrolysis reactions under physiological conditions.
The observed equilibrium constants (Kobs) of the malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7) and citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.6) reactions have been determined under near physiological conditions (38”, pH 7.0, Z = 0.25, free [Mg”+] = 10u3 M). From these values the observed standard free energy change (AGibs) for the hydrolysis of acetyl-CoA has been determined. Under the above ...
