It has been shown that inactivation of several enzymes precedes overall conformational changes of the enzyme molecules as a whole during denaturation [Tsou (1993) Science, 262, 380-381]. However, the relation between inactivation, loss of allosteric properties of oligomeric enzymes and unfolding of the enzyme molecule during denaturation remain little explored. These have now been compared for D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FruP2ase) during denaturation by guanidinium chloride (GdmCl). GAPDH is completely inactivated at 0.3 M GdmCl but at this GdmCl concentration it still binds NAD+ with negative co-operativity. At 0.4 M GdmCl, inactivation of FruP2ase reaches completion whereas its allosteric properties, including the heterotropic effect of AMP inhibition and K+ activation with positive co-operativity, are only partially affected. Much higher GdmCl concentrations are required to bring about unfolding of the overall structures of both enzymes.
研究表明,在变性过程中,几种酶的失活先于整个酶分子的整体构象变化[邹承鲁(1993年),《科学》,262卷,380 - 381页]。然而,在变性过程中,寡聚酶的失活、别构性质的丧失与酶分子展开之间的关系仍鲜有人研究。现在,通过氯化胍(GdmCl)变性处理,已对D - 甘油醛 - 3 - 磷酸脱氢酶(GAPDH)和果糖 - 1,6 - 二磷酸酶(FruP2ase)进行了比较。GAPDH在0.3 M GdmCl时完全失活,但在此GdmCl浓度下,它仍以负协同性结合NAD⁺。在0.4 M GdmCl时,FruP2ase的失活达到完全,但它的别构性质,包括AMP抑制的异促效应和K⁺激活的正协同性,仅受到部分影响。使两种酶的整体结构展开需要更高浓度的GdmCl。
