Using human glycosylasparaginase from human amniotic fluid, L-aspartic acid and four of its analogues, where the a-amino group was substituted with a chloro, bromo, methyl or hydrogen, were competitive inhibitors having K, values between 0.6–7.7 mM. These results provide supporting evidence for a proposed intramolecular autoproteolytic activation reaction. A proposed phosphono transition state mimic and a sulfo transition state mimic were competitive inhibitors with Ki values 0.9 mM and 1.4 mM, respectively. These results support a mechanism for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction involving formation of a tetra-hedral high-energy intermediate. Three analogues of the natural substrate were noncompetitive inhibitors with Ki values between 0.56–0.75 mM, indicating the presence of a second binding site that may recognize (substituted)acetamido groups.","PeriodicalId":15776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of enzyme inhibition","volume":"40 1","pages":"269 - 274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77548947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell wall invertase was reported to participate in phloem loading and unloading. Soluble invertases would be involved in hexose level regulation in mature tissues and in stored sucrose utilization within vacuoles. Invertase inhibitory proteins were described as one of the possible mechanisms for invertase activity regulation in some plant species; nevertheless, these proteins were found only in sink tissues, suggesting that this mechanism would not be relevant in the sucrose turnover of leaves. This report describes the purification of invertase from Pteris deflexa fronds and the occurrence of an invertase inhibitory protein in this fern organ, as well as its purification and invertase-inhibitor interactions. The Mr of the invertase and of its inhibitory protein were 90,000 and 18,000, respectively. SDS-PAGE in the presence of 2-mercaptoetanol gave two subunits for the enzyme (Mr=66,000 and 30,000) and only one for the inhibitor. The inhibitor protein is a glycoprotein (12% w/w of neutral sugars) that did not show agglutinating activity like some others, and also showed a high heat stability at pH 5.0. The optimum pH of invertase activity is 5.0, while invertase inhibitory protein caused maximal inhibition at the same pH value. Invertase-inhibitor complex formation occurs in an immediate manner and a protease activity was discarded. The inhibition is non-competitive (Ki=1.5 × 10 −6 M) without interactions among the binding sites. The complex is slightly dissociable and sucrose was able to partially reduce the inhibitory effect. Up to the present, invertase inhibitory proteins have been found solely in heterotrophic tissues. In this work we demonstrate that this protein is also present in an autotrophic tissue of a lower vascular plant.","PeriodicalId":15776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of enzyme inhibition","volume":"43 1","pages":"517 - 525"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85804011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accumulated evidence indicates different structural descriptors being involved, depending on the P450 enzyme concerned, although compound lipophilicity in the form of either logP or logD7.4 appears to represent a common factor in some cases. This is thought to represent desolvation of the P450 active site, although quadratic expressions in lipophilicity tend to suggest that membrane transport is important, especially for CYP2B and CYP2E isoforms.

The inactivation shows first order kinetics with all reagents. Valerate, a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, fully protects the enzyme from inactivation, indicating that modification is active site directed. The most rapid inactivation is seen with phenylglyoxal, with a kinact of 14.3 ± 1.1 M−1 min−1 in phosphate buffer at pH 7.3 and 30 °C. The lack of increase in the enzymatic activity of the phenylglyoxal-inactivated enzyme after removing the unreacted reagent by gel filtration is consistent with inactivation being due to co-valent modification of the enzyme.
