Abstract
The substrate characteristics and interactions of different adenosine nucleotide analogs with Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinase were investigated by steady-state kinetic analysis and calculations of interaction energies. Comparison of Vmax/Km values showed that analogs substituted at C8 in the adenine ring (8-Br-ATP, 8-N3-ATP, 8-N3-ADP) gave almost the same kinetic values as ATP and ADP, whereas those substituted in the ribose hydroxyls (3'(2')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-ATP (MANT-ATP), 3'(2')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-ADP (MANT-ADP), 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ADP (TNP-ADP), 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP (TNP-ATP)) showed 1-8% the value for the corresponding physiological substrate. A comparison between the experimental results and molecular mechanics calculations was performed, employing a model for the S. cerevisiae PEP carboxykinase-ATP-Mn2+ complex. The calculated interaction energies of S. cerevisiae PEP carboxykinase with ATP, MANT-ATP, TNP-ATP, 8-Br-ATP, and 8-N3-ATP were linearly related (correlation coefficient 0.92) with -ln(Vmax/Km). This good correlation supports the proposal that the interaction of the substituent with the enzyme affects the interaction of the common region of ATP with the active site, thus leading to effects in Vmax.
