Two rabbit erythrocyte casein kinases, GTP:casein kinase I and GTP:casein kinase II, have been purified 29 000- and 47 000-fold, respectively. Studies employing sucrose density gradient centrifugation indicate that kinase I has a molecular weight of about 9.5 - 10(5) (25 S) and kinase II about 1.4 - 10(6) (32 S). These enzymes can utilize either ATP or GTP as the phosphoryl donor. Among various protein substrates examined, these kinases catalyze the phosphorylation of casein greater than 50% dephosphorylated phosvitin congruent to 50% dephosphorylated casein greater than phosvitin. Histones, protamine and bovine serum albumin are poor phosphoryl acceptors. Kinetic data indicate that both enzymes are inhibited by high casein substrate concentrations which may be partially relieved by NaCl. Both phosphotransferases require Mg(2+) for activity and are optimally active at pH 9.0. The enzymes have apparent Km values of 2.5 - 10(-5) M for GTP, 2 - 10(-5) M for ATP, and 0.4--0.6 mg/ml for casein. The incorporation of the terminal phosphate of GTP into casein as catalyzed by these enzymes is inhibited to varying degrees by ATP, ITP, ADP, and GDP but not by UTP, CTP, GMP, adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate, and guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate. In addition, NaF and 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid are also found to inhibit the activity of both kinases. The effect of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate is interesting and suggests that this metabolite may regulate the activity of the casein kinases in the red blood cells.

Citrate synthase activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was determined by a radioactive assay procedure and the reaction product, 14C-citric acid, was identified by chromatographic techniques. ATP, d-ATP, GTP and NADH were most inhibitory to the citrate synthase invitro. The activity was inhibited to a lesser extent by ADP, UTP, and NADP whereas, AMP and CTP were much less inhibitory. NADH, like NAD, glutamic acid, glutamine, arginine, ornithine, proline, aspartic acid and alpha-ketoglutarate exhibited no inhibition. These results have been discussed in the light of the role of citrate synthase for the energy metabolism and glutamic acid biosynthesis.

From wheat embryos, tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.25) was isolated. By chromatography on Sepharose 6B, DEAE-cellulose and affinity chromatography on tRNA-hydrazyl-Sepharose 4B, 7000-fold purification of the enzyme was achieved. The enzyme required for its activity Mg2+ or Mn2+ ion. ATP inhibited incorporation of CMP from CTP into lupin tRNA, and CTP acted as a competitive inhibitor of AMP incorporation from ATP. The regulatory role of ATP in incorporation of terminal CMP into tRNA is discussed. The incorporation of terminal CMP into tRNA deprived of terminal CCA or CA, was also studied.

Structural requirements for substrate binding to histidyl-tRNA synthetase from Salmonella typhimurium have been investigated using ATP analogues. Ki values and the relative binding affinity of the enzyme for these analogues have been determined in the tRNA aminoacylation reaction. The enzyme is highly specific for ATP: no binding was found for GTP, CTP, TTP and UTP. dATP is a very poor substrate for acylation of tRNA, with a Km 40-fold higher than that of ATP. Binding of adenosine 5'-triphosphate requires interactions of the amino group of adenosine and the sugar moiety; the 2' and the 5' positions of the ribose appear to be essential for recognition; the phosphate groups enhance the binding. AMP is a noncompetitive inhibitor with ATP. The interaction of histidyl-tRNA synthetase, a dimeric enzyme, with histidine and ATP was examined by fluorescence measurements at equilibrium and by equilibrium dialysis. Binding with L-histidine is significantly tighter at pH 6 than at pH 7, while the ATP binding is independent of pH. The stoichiometry was measured at pH 6 than at pH 7, while the ATP binding is independent of pH. The stoichiometry was measured at pH 7.5 by equilibrium dialysis and is 1 mol ATP/mol enzyme and, variably, close to 2 or 1 mol histidine/mol enzyme.

The dependence of the rate of dephosphorylation of ATP, ITP, GTP and CTP (= NTP), expressed as first-order rate constants (50 degrees C; I = 0.1 M, NaClO4), on pH (2 to 10), in the absence and presence of Mn2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+, was investigated. The reaction is accelerated by Zn2+ and passes through a pH optimum at about 8 for the system Zn2+-ATP or 9 for Zn2+-ITP and Zn2+-GTP; this is analogous to observations made earlier with the corresponding Cu2+ systems. By computing the pH dependence of the distribution of the several species present in these systems it is shown that the highest rates are observed in the pH regions where the concentration of Zn(ATP)2-, Zn(ITP-H)3-, or Zn(GTP-H)3- dominates. By evaluating the pH dependence evidence is given that the attacking nucleophile is OH- or H2O for Zn (ATP)2- and H2O for Zn (ITP-H)3- or Zn(GTP-H)3-. For all these complexes metal-ion/nucleic-base interactions are known, leading to the formation of macrochelates. These metal-ion/nucleic-base interactions are crucial for the observation of a metal-ion-promoted dephosphorylation; in agreement with this, and the small tendency of the cytosine moiety to coordinate, the CTP systems are rather stable towards dephosphorylation. It should be noted that these experimental results do not necessarily mean that the macrochelates usually described are the reactive complexes, but only that the active complex must be closely related to them (e.g. isomers, etc). Although for the Ni2+ systems with ATP, ITP, and GTP, and for the Mn2+-ATP system a metal-ion/nucleic-base interaction is also known, these systems are not very sensitive to hydrolytic cleavage of the terminal P-O-P bond. The only known significant structural difference between the Ni2+-NTP or the Mn2+-ATP complexes and those of Cu2+ or Zn2+ is that Ni2+ Mn2+ coordinate to all three phsophate groups, whereas Cu2+ and Zn2+ involve only the beta and gamma ones. This structure-reactivity relationship is rationalized by the suggestion that in the active species the metal ion should be coordinated to the alpha,beta-phosphate groups leaving the gamma-group open to nucleophilic attack. Obviously, an initial beta,gamma-coordination is suitable for a shift of the metal ion along the phosphate back-bone into the reactive alpha-beta-position, while for an alpha,beta,gamma-coordination only the less favorable removal of the coordinated gamma-group remains. The metal-ion/nucleic-base interaction is considered as being important for achieving this reactive structure. The connection between trans-phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo is discussed. It is also shown that the formation of mixed-ligand or ternary complexes inhibits the dephosphorylation process. This is on the one hand of interest with regard to the transport of hydrolysis-sensitive phosphates in nature, while on the other it casts doubts on conclusions based on experiments carried out in the presence of buffers, because these contain weak bases and hence potential ligands.

Reaction of phenylglyoxal with aspartate transcarbamylase and its isolated catalytic subunit results in complete loss of enzymatic activity. This modification reaction is markedly influenced by pH and is partially reversible upon dialysis. Carbamyl phosphate or carbamyl phosphate with succinate partially protect the catalytic subunit and the native enzyme from inactivation by phenylglyoxal. In the native enzyme complete protection from inactivation is afforded by N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate. The decrease in enzymatic activity correlates with the modification of 6 arginine residues on each aspartate transcarbamylase molecule, i.e. 1 arginine per catalytic site. The data suggest that the essential arginine is involved in the binding of carbamyl phosphate to the enzyme. Reaction of the single thiol on the catalytic chain with 2-chloromercuri-4-nitrophenol does not prevent subsequent reaction with phenylglyoxal. If N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate is used to protect the active site we find that phenylglyoxal also causes the loss of activation of ATP and inhibition by CTP. The rate of loss of heterotropic effects is exactly the same for both nucleotides indicating that the two opposite regulatory effects originate at the same location on the enzyme, or are transmitted by the same mechanism between the subunits, or both.

The action of various feedback modifiers on Bacillus stearothermophilus glutamine synthetase has been investigated by initial velocity kinetics, using the Mn2+-stimulated biosynthetic assay at 55 degrees C. The most potent inhibitors, used singly, are AMP, L-glutamine, and L-alanine. Other modifiers of significance include glycine, CTP, L-histidine, glucosamine 6-phosphate, and GDP. Marked synergism of action is observed for AMP in the presence of L-glutamine, L-histidine, ADP, or glucosamine 6-phosphate (glucosamine-6-P), and for CTP with ADP or GDP. Inhibition by saturating levels of many modifiers is either less than 100%, or is not overcome by elevated substrate levels, or both. This argues for modifier binding sites separate from substrate sites, notably in the cases of AMP, L-glutamine, glycine, L-alanine, glucosamine-6-P, and CTP. Glycine and L-alanine are Vmax inhibitors, whereas L-glutamine, glucosamine-6-P, GDP, and CTP alter the binding of L-glutamate. ADP and L-histidine apparently can compete directly with MnATP, but AMP alters Mn-ATP binding from a separate site. The action of several modifiers requires or is enhanced by bound substrates. Considerable antagonistic interaction is observed in experiments with modifier pairs, but the most potent inhibitors show synergistic or cumulative (independent) interactions. One may interpret antagonistic effects as due to (a) overlapping modifier domains, or (b) separate but antagonistically interacting sites. Either interpretation leads to a scheme for modifier-substrate and modifier-modifier site interactions in which the thermophilic enzyme must maintain and stabilize a great deal of complex functional information under extreme environmental conditions.

Myocardial ornithine decarboxylase appears to have characteristics similar to those of enzymes isolated from other tissues. Ornithine decarboxylase activity decreased very rapidly after the death of the animal. Storage of the cell sap fraction at 0 degrees C or -15 degrees C, however, led to only a small decrease in the enzyme activity up to 3 days after preparation. Pyridoxal phosphate at an optimum of 50 muM was essential for full enzyme activity. Thiol compounds did not increase the myocardial ornithine decarboxylase enzyme activity. The subcellular distribution of the enzyme in the myocardium was found to be different from that reported in other tissues. A partial purification of the enzyme was possible using the proteins precipitated at pH 5 from a cell-soluble fraction or by passing a soluble fraction through a Sephadex G 100 gel column. ATP, ADP, and AMP inhibited ornithine decarboxylase at high concentrations (5 mM), but GTP, CTP, and ITP inhibited at a 1 mM concentration and above.

Riboflavin kinase (E.C.2.7.1.26) was isolated from the cells of the yeast Pichia guilliermondii. The enzyme was 680-fold purified uzing ammonium sulphate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and CM-Sephadex C-50 and gel-filtration through Sephadex G-75. Purified enzyme preparation was free from phosphatases and FAD-synthetase. The pH optimum was 8,7, the temperature optimum-45 degrees C. The enzyme was activated by Zn2+, Mg2+ and Co2+ ions. Km for riboflavin was 1,0x10(-5) M, for ATP -- 6,7X10(-6) M. Riboflavin kinase catalyzed the phosphorylation of riboflavin analogues with the substitution of methyl groups at positions 7 and 8. UTP, GTP, ADP and CTP, besides ATP, were phosphate donors. AMP inhibited the enzyme activity. Molecular weight of the enzyme was 28000, as estimated by gel-filtration through Sephadex G-150. Purified riboflavin kinase was stable under storage.

Human placental microsomal 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was prepared free of alkaline phosphatase by isoelectric focusing. A total of seven electrophoretic variants were isolated during the preparation of six placentas. Only three to six variants were found in a single placenta. The isoelectric pH's were 6.70, 6.44, 6.23, 6.02, 5.76, 5.63 and 5.44. These were found to be composed of variable quantities of a large, medium and low molecular weight form. The apparent molecular weights of the medium and light form of the enzyme were 86 500 and 43 500, respectively, as estimated from Stokes radius and sedimentation velocity determinations. The electrophoretic variants were not distinguishable with respect to specific activity and Michaelis constants for AMP, GMP or CMP or inhibition by ATP, CTP or adenosine. These electrophoretic variants appeared to be pseudoisozymes based upon different states of aggregation of a common primary sequence. There was a wide range of substrate specificity among nucleoside 5'-monophosphates which included 2-deoxyribose compounds. With AMP as 100, substrate activity was: CMP, 122; NMN, 74; GMP, 68: IMP, 63; XMP, 28 and UDP-glucose, 68. The Michaelis constants for AMP, GMP and CMP ranged from 12-18 muM, from 33-67 muM and from 170-250 muM, respectively. Although 5'-nucleotidase was active in the absence of divalent cation, 5 mM MgCl2 stimulated the enzyme activity to 234% of control and shifted the pH optimum of 9.8 to a plateau from pH 7.4-9.8.
