The Kms for esculetin and S-adenosyl-L-methionine for catechol O-methyltransferase from the yeast Candida tropicalis were 6.2 and 40 microM, respectively. S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine was a very potent competitive inhibitor with respect to S-adenosyl-L-methionine, with a Ki of 6.9 microM. Of the catechol-related inhibitors, purpurogallin, with a Ki of 0.07 microM, showed the greatest inhibitory effect. Sulfhydryl group-blocking reagents, such as thiol-oxidizing 2-iodosobenzoic acid and mercaptide-forming p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, provided evidence for sulfhydryl groups in the active site of the enzyme. Yeast catechol O-methyltransferase is a metal-dependent enzyme and requires Mg2+ for full activity. Zn2+ and Mn2+ but not Ca2+ were able to substitute for Mg2+. Mn2+ showed optimal enzyme activation at concentrations 50- to 100-fold lower than those of Mg2+.
热带假丝酵母儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶对七叶亭和S-腺苷-L-甲硫氨酸的米氏常数分别为6.2和40微摩尔。S-腺苷-L-高半胱氨酸是一种对S-腺苷-L-甲硫氨酸非常有效的竞争性抑制剂,其抑制常数为6.9微摩尔。在儿茶酚相关抑制剂中,抑制常数为0.07微摩尔的紫铆因显示出最大的抑制作用。巯基阻断剂,如氧化巯基的2-碘代苯甲酸和形成硫醇盐的对氯汞苯甲酸,为该酶活性位点中的巯基提供了证据。酵母儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶是一种金属依赖性酶,需要Mg2+才能发挥全部活性。Zn2+和Mn2+能够替代Mg2+,但Ca2+不能。Mn2+在浓度比Mg2+低50至100倍时显示出最佳的酶激活作用。
