Abstract
Optical characteristics of enzyme-reduced coenzyme complexes of yeast NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase have been investigated in the presence and absence of product (L-glutamate) and in the presence or absence of phosphate. The phosphate effect, pointed out in a previous work, is found again: inorganic phosphate (Pi) destabilizes the binary complex (E - NADPH), the dissociation constant of which is equal to 14 muM, a value much higher than that determined in Tris-HCl buffer: Kd = 0.9 muM. Concerning the role of phosphate some assumptions are drawn up with respect to a similar behaviour of Pi toward yeast glutamate dehydrogenase and ADP toward the beef liver enzyme. In the same way, L-glutamate induces a stabilization of the binary complex; this latter effect is unchanged in the presence of phosphate, yet it is less marked than in the case of beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase. Protein fluorescence, nucleotide fluorescence and circular dichroism measurements allowed the determination of three identical and independent NADPH binding sites per hexameric active unit. In analogy with beef liver enzyme, it seems that yeast glutamate dehydrogenase is a good model to study anticooperativity in ligand binding.Keywords
