Mechanism of the Propionyl Carboxylase Reaction
نویسنده
چکیده
A study of the exchange reactions between adenosine triphosphate and either radioactive inorganic phosphate, or adenosine diphosphate (l), catalyzed by propionyl carboxylase, showed that inorganic phosphate was required for adenosine triphosphate-adenosine diphosphate exchange and, conversely, adenosine diphosphate was required for adenosine triphosphateinorganic phosphate exchange. A requirement for bicarbonate was also evident. These results suggested Reaction 1 as a single, partial step in the over-all Reaction 3.

action 2a, might react according to Reaction 3, in the presence of propionyl-CoA carboxylase, to form methylmalonyl-CoA. In order to clarify the mechanism of propionyl-CoA carboxylation further purification of the ‘Yluorokinase” and carboxylase systems was undertaken. L’F1uorokinase” was crystallized from rabbit muscle and, as already reported (4), appears to be identical with pyruvic kinase, t...
متن کاملThe Enzymatic Carboxylation of Propionyl Coenzyme A
(R)and (S)-Z-deuteriopropionyl coenzyme A of approximately 75% optical purity were prepared by a series of reactions starting from optically pure alanine. With these compounds as substrates for propionyl-CoA carboxylase, the deuterium isotope effect was found to be small and probably secondary. No tritium isotope effect was observed when enzymatically prepared 2-3H-propionyl-CoA was used as sub...

Experiments with bicarbonate-C4 or methylmalonyl coenzyme A-3-C14 and substrate amounts of crystalline propionyl carboxylase (1) demonstrated unequivocally that the over-all reaction involves carboxylation and decarboxylation of the enzyme according to Reactions 1 and 2. Reaction 1 itself had previously been believed (4-6) to consist of two separate steps. However, careful reinvestigation of th...

Previous studies with propionyl coenzyme A carboxylase and with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase using ‘*O-labeled bicarbonate have indicated that bicarbonate is the reactive species in these fixations of “C02.” We have investigated the species of CO:! in reactions catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase, P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase, and P-enolpyruvate carboxytransphosphorylase. Since propionyl-CoA c...

Studies presented here, with the criterion of the degree of binding of the biotin derivatives obtained from acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase to avidin, show that these compounds have an intact ureido ring, eliminating the diamine derivative as an intermediate in the carboxylation. With the use of carboxyl-14C-biotin acetyland propionyl-CoA carboxylases, it has been possible to show both in vivo an...
