Crystalline pigeon liver malic enzyme (malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), EC 1.1.1.40) catalyzes the slow, magnesium-dependent reduction of oxalacetate and conversion of L-malate to L-lactate in the presence of TPNH and TPN, respectively, with TPN acting in a catalytic manner. Pyruvate reductase activity associated with this enzyme has a pH optimum of 6.5 to 6.8 and a Michaelis constant of...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism and stereochemical properties of the oxalacetate decarboxylase activity of pyruvate kinase.
When cod fish muscle oxalacetate decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxalacetate in the presence of NaBH4, L-lactate results from the reduction of enzyme-bound pyruvate. However, D-lactate results when borohydride reduces the binary enzyme-pyruvate complex formed by adding pyruvate from solution, as reported by others. This observation suggests that there are alternate mechanisms for...
متن کاملFixation of carbon dioxide by a plant oxalacetate carboxylase.
The presence of an oxalacetate carboxylase in parsley root has been reported previously from this laboratory.’ The reaction catalyzed by this system has been found to be reversible, since it fixes Cl402 into oxalacetate during the decarboxylation of the latter in the presence of NaHC1403. The enzyme was prepared essentially as previously reported’ and completely freed from pyruvic carboxylase b...
متن کاملMalic Enzymes of Rabbit Heart Mitochondria
Two distinct malic enzymes have been separated from rabbit heart mitochondria. Both enzymes require Mn2+ or Mg2+ for activity. One of these enzymes (Enzyme 1) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate in the presence of either NAD+ or NADP+, the former being much the more effective. After purification lOOto ZOO-fold by Sephadex and DEAE-cellulose chromatography and removal of contaminat...
متن کاملStructure and properties of malic enzyme from Bacillus stearothermophilus.
The malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.38) gene of Bacillus stearothermophilus was cloned in Escherichia coli, and the enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the E. coli clone. In addition to the NAD(P)-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of L-malate, the enzyme catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxalacetate. The enzyme is a tetramer of Mr 200,000 consisting of four identical subunits of Mr 50,000. The pH o...
