ATP dephosphorylation can be either enhanced or inhibited by pH-controlled interaction with a dendrimer molecule.

چکیده
Synthetic polyammonium/polyamine receptors are known to enhance ATP dephosphorylation in solution. ATP interaction with a G-3 poly(ethylene imine) dendrimer shows an unprecedented behaviour, the dendrimer catalyst being able to enhance or inhibit dephosphorylation of the nucleotide depending on the solution pH.

متن کاملDephosphorylation of Adenosinetriphosphate by Normal and Pathological Human Sera.
Adenosinediphosphate (ADP) may be dephosphorylated to adenylic acid by adenosinediphosphatase (Reaction B). However, evidence for a specific ADP-ase is lacking and it is probable that the two-step dephosphorylation of ATP is catalyzed by the same enzyme (1). In muscle, ADP is converted to adenylic acid by the action of myokinase (1), in which labile phosphate is transferred from one molecule of...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Dendrimer-Hydrocarbon Interaction
We report our single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and molecular dynamics simulation studies on the interaction of poly(amidoamine) dendrimer and squalane hydrocarbon in aqueous solution. Our spectrophotometry measurements indicate that this interaction increases with the pH of the solvent. Our simulations show that squalane resides primarily on the perimeter of the dendrimer at low to neutr...
متن کاملHeparan sulfate regulates the antiangiogenic activity of endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide-II at acidic pH.
Endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide-II (EMAP II) is an antiangiogenic factor for rapidly growing endothelial cells that is released from tumor cells under physiological stress such as hypoxia. We have previously shown that the interaction between EMAP II and the alpha-subunit of ATP synthase, alpha-ATP synthase, can play a regulatory function in the growth of endothelial cells. In the c...
متن کاملIsoflurane decreases ATP sensitivity of guinea pig cardiac sarcolemmal KATP channel at reduced intracellular pH.
BACKGROUND Volatile anesthetics can protect the myocardium against ischemic injury by opening the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (K(atp)) channels. However, direct evidence for anesthetic-channel interaction is still limited, and little is known about the role K(atp) channel modulators play in this effect. Because pH is one of the regulators of K(atp) channels, the authors tes...
