Determination of kinetic constants for peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases by an improved spectrophotometric assay

Abstract

The kinetic properties and substrate specificity of two well-characterized peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases), cyclophilin and the FK-506 binding protein (FKBP), have been previously examined [Fischer, G., Bang, H., Berger, E., & Schellenberger, A. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 791, 87-97; Harrison, R.K., & Stein, R.L. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 1684-1689; Albers, M.W., Walsh, C.T., & Schreiber, S. L. (1990) J. Org. Chem. 55, 4984-4986]. The chymotrypsin-coupled enzymatic assay employed in these studies suffers from two serious shortcomings. Due to the low equilibrium population of the X-cis-Pro-Phe-pNA isomer (the PPIase substrate), in conjunction with the low solubility of p-nitroaniline generated by chymotrypsin hydrolysis, substrate concentrations in the saturating region are not experimentally attainable. Secondly, the uncatalyzed cis-trans isomerization obscures the interpretation of the initial velocity. As a result of these limitations, the steady-state kinetic parameters (Km,Kcat) have not been determined. Here we introduce an improved version of the spectrophotometric assay and report for the first time the Michaelis constants and turnover numbers for both PPIases with established substrates. The improvements in the experimental conditions originate in a medium-induced increase in the equilibrium population of the cis X-Pro conformer and in conducting the assay at 0 degrees C to suppress the uncatalyzed thermal isomerization. In addition, we present a rigorous mathematical model of the spectrophotometric progress curves that accounts for the contributions of the residual background rate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
