Rat harderian gland porphobilinogen deaminase: Characterization studies and regulatory action of protoporphyrin IX

Properties of purified porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D; EC 4.3.1.8) from rat harderian gland are here presented. The enzyme behaves as a monomer of M(r) 38 ± 2 kDa and is optimally active at pH 8.0-8.2. Its activation energy, determined by an Arrhenius plot, is 76.1 kJ/mol. Initial velocity studies...

The enzyme behaves as a monomer of M(r) 38 ± 2 kDa and is optimally active at pH 8.0-8.2. Its activation energy, determined by an Arrhenius plot, is 76.1 kJ/mol. Initial velocity studies showed a linear progress curve for uroporphyringen I formation and a hyperbolic dependence of the initial rate on substrate concentration, indicating the existence of a sequential displacement mechanism. Apparent kinetic constants, K(m) and V(m), calculated at 37°C and pH 8.0 were 1.1 μM and 170 pmol/min mg, respectively. The pH dependence of the apparent kinetic parameters revealed the ionization of residues with pK(A)/(ES) and pK(B)/(ES) of 7.4 ± 0.1 and 8.6 ± 0.1, respectively, and a pK(E) value of 8.0 ± 0.1. Incubation of PBG-D with 5.0 mM N-ethylmaleimide and 5.0 mM 5,5'- dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) at pH 8.0 led to inhibitions of 70 and 50%, respectively. The effect of pH, as well as the effect of thiol reagents, on enzyme activity strongly suggests the involvement of cysteine residue(s) in the mechanism of uroporphyrinogen I biosynthesis, in both the catalytic reaction and the substrate binding. Rat harderian gland PBG-D activity decreased with increasing concentrations of protoporphyrin IX, reaching a 40% inhibition at the in vivo concentration of the porphyrin and 7 μM PBG. Even at saturating concentrations of substrate, inhibition by protoporphyrin was not completely reversed. So, accumulated porphyrin may act as an regulator of PBG-D activity in rat harderian gland. 1997 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_00039861_v347_n1_p69_Cardalda http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_00039861_v347_n1_p69_Cardalda
