Magnesium chelatase is an AAA(+) ATPase that catalyzes the first committed step in chlorophyll biosynthesis. Using nonequilibrium isotope exchange, we show that the ATP hydrolysis reaction proceeds via an enzyme-phosphate complex. Exchange from radiolabeled phosphate to ATP was not observed, offering no support for an enzyme-ADP complex.
镁螯合酶是一种 AAA(+)ATP 酶,催化叶绿素生物合成的第一步。我们利用非平衡同位素交换,表明 ATP 水解反应通过酶-磷酸复合物进行。未观察到放射性标记的磷酸向 ATP 的交换,这并不支持酶-ADP 复合物的存在。
