31P nuclear magnetic resonance of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase. The effects of solution pH and ligand binding.
~-Aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) of higher organisms exists as cytoplasmic and mitochondrial isozymes with a high degree of sequence homology. This report describes an NMR study of the environment of the phosphate of the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate cofactor in the mitochondrial isozyme as revealed by the effect of pH on its 31P NMR chemical shift. Our previous study of the cy...
متن کاملThe unfolding and refolding of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart.
The unfolding of cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart in solutions of guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl) was studied. Data from protein fluorescence, c.d. and thiol-group reactivity indicated that the enzyme was unfolded in 6 M-GdnHCl. Spectroscopic studies showed that this unfolding was accompanied by dissociation of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate cofactor. On dilution of the GdnHCl, r...
متن کاملAspartate aminotransferase activity in human serum. Factors to be considered in supplementation with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate in vitro.
The pyridoxal phosphate reactivation of the apo form of aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) in human serum has been studied with "normal" and above-normal activity of this enzyme. The extent of the reactionation did not depend on the presence of the substrates, L-aspartate or 2-oxoglutarate. Reactivation was greatest with 110 mumol of added pyridoxal phsophate present per liter during a pre...
متن کاملNew automated measurement of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase with use of protease 401.
Total mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), the sum of apo- and holo-mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase activity in human serum, was measured by using a proteolytic method: inactivation of cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase with cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase-inactivating protease 401 from Streptomyces violaceochromogenes. Cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase is c...
متن کاملPlasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate concentrations in relation to apo-aminotransferase levels in normal, uraemic, and post-myocardial infarct sera.
The concentrations of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, and the holoenzyme activities and apoenzyme contents of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in plasma were determined simultaneously in healthy individuals, patients with renal insufficiency with and without chronic haemodialysis and in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is significantly dimi...
