The nature of functional groups regulating the catalytic activity of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase
The influence of some reagents modifying NH2-, SH-groups or imidazole moiety, on the prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase activity was studied. Acetaldehyde, pyridoxal phosphate, dithiobis (nitrobenzoic) acid and iodoacetamide were found not to affect the enzyme activity. The activity was abolished...

Summary: | The influence of some reagents modifying NH2-, SH-groups or imidazole moiety, on the prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase activity was studied. Acetaldehyde, pyridoxal phosphate, dithiobis (nitrobenzoic) acid and iodoacetamide were found not to affect the enzyme activity. The activity was abolished as a result of the interaction with p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and diethyl pyrocarbonate. The hemin completely protected the apo-enzyme against the inactivation with diethyl pyrocarbonate. The assumption about the presence of imidazole moiety in the active site of the enzyme was made. |
