Biotinidase shows two binding sites for biotin, with Kd = 59 and 3 nM respectively, and requires tryptophan and cysteine residues of the biotinidase protein for biotin-binding activity. Analysis of human serum by various column-chromatographic techniques indicates that biotinidase is the only protein which exchanges with labelled (+)-biotin. It was shown previously that epileptic patients receiving a high average dose of anticonvulsants (containing a carbamide group) have lower biotin concentrations than those receiving a low dose. We have shown in human serum and with purified biotinidase that these anticonvulsant drugs compete with biotin for binding to the protein moiety.
生物素酶显示出两个生物素结合位点,其解离常数(Kd)分别为59 nM和3 nM,并且生物素结合活性需要生物素酶蛋白中的色氨酸和半胱氨酸残基。采用各种柱色谱技术分析人血清表明,生物素酶是唯一能与标记的(+)-生物素进行交换的蛋白质。先前有研究表明,接受高平均剂量抗惊厥药(含尿素基团)的癫痫患者,其生物素浓度低于接受低剂量抗惊厥药的患者。我们在人血清和纯化的生物素酶中均已表明,这些抗惊厥药物与生物素竞争结合蛋白部分。
