چکیده
Lysine or Mg2+ alone at high concentrations brings about partial dimerization of the lysine-sensitive aspartokinase of Escherichia coli B. The native enzyme, which has a molecular weight of 75,300 and consists of 2 subunits, responds to a combination of lysine and Mg 2+ at much lower concentrations by dimerizing to a tetrameric molecule with a molecular weight approaching 150,000. This dimerization is also observed in the presence of substrates at lysine concentrations known to be inhibitory. The substrates MgATP and aspartate also produce dimerization at high concentrations, and substrate inhibition is observed with MgATP. Aging of aspartokinase results in a loss of cooperativity for lysine inhibition with lysine saturation curves becoming hyperbolic. Aging also results in a loss of lysine-binding capacity and catalytic activity and decreases the extent of dimerization induced by lysine and Mg2+.

متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of the reaction of lysine with permanganate ion at different ionic strengths and temperatures
The kinetics of Mn(VII) oxidation of lysine in moderately sulfuric acid solutions was studiedspectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of Mn(II) as catalyst. The reaction was arrangedto be under pseudo first-order condition with respect to Mn(VII). The results showed that the pseudofirst-order rate constant increases with increasing [H2SO4], [(Mn)II], and [lysine]. The dependence ofthe...
متن کاملParticipation of lysine-sensitive aspartokinase in threonine production by S-2-aminoethyl cysteine-resistant mutants of Serratia marcescens.
S-2-Aminoethyl cysteine (AEC) reduced both growth rate and final growth level of Serratia marcescens Sr41. The growth inhibition was completely reversed by lysine. AEC inhibited the activity of lysine-sensitive aspartokinase to a lesser extent than lysine. The AEC addition to the medium lowered not only the level of lysine-sensite aspartokinase but also those of homoserine dehydrogenase and thr...

The interaction of p-sulphonatocalix [6] arene towards L-arginine and L-lysine has been studied inacidic aqueous solution (p1-1 2) using UV-Vis spectrophotometric titration technique. The psulphonatocalix[6] arene was found to be able to form 1:1 complexe with amino acids in water.The values of the association constant were determined at different temperatures to evaluate thethermodynamic funct...
متن کاملTheoretical Thermodynamic Study of Arginine and Lysine Amino Acids at different Solvents
The thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy, H°, Gibbs free energy, G°, and entropy, S°, of Arginine and Lysine amino acids were theoretically studied at different polar solvents by using ²Gaussian o3², software. First, the structural optimization of isolated Arginine and Lysine were done in the gas phase by applying the Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) level ...
