Phosphofructokinase-1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: analysis of molecular structure and function by electron microscopy and self-catalysed affinity labelling.

Conventional and cryoelectron microscopy portray native octameric yeast phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK) as consisting of two identical heterotetrameric tetrahedron-like moieties being rotated relative to each other. Immunoelectron microscopy employing subunit-specific IgG identifies alpha-type subunits in the contact zone of the two tetrahedrons, while beta-chains are recognized exclusively at the tips of the octamer. The chemical reaction of phosphofructokinase with analogues of fructose 6-phosphate followed by autocatalytic phosphoryl transfer from [gamma-32P]-ATP results in a specific labelling of the alpha-subunit. AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate affect labelling by stimulating the binding of substrate analogue; AMP additionally promotes phosphoryl transfer. No stimulation of labelling is observed with proteolytically modified tetrameric 12-S phosphofructokinase.

Evaluation of inhibitor constants and alkylation rates for a series of thrombin affinity labels.

The kinetics for the inactivation of thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5) by a series of peptides containing C-terminal arginyl chloromethane in the presence of substrate were determined. The inhibitor effectiveness was analysed so as to allow for both the evaluation of the affinity with which the enzyme binds the inhibitor before irreversible modification and also the rate of covalent-bond formation between enzyme and inhibitor. The results obtained show that the observed large range in inhibitor effectiveness can be accounted for almost entirely by marked differences in affinity, with only small variations in rates of formation of covalent complex.
