  • pre steady state kinetic characterization of Thiolate Anion formation in human leukotriene c synthase
    Biochemistry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Agnes Rinaldomatthis, Ralf Morgenstern, Shabbir Ahmad, Anders Wetterholm, P J Lachmann, Jesper Z Haeggstrom
    Abstract:

    Human leukotriene C4 synthase (hLTC4S) is an integral membrane protein that catalyzes the committed step in the biosynthesis of cysteinyl-leukotrienes, i.e., formation of leukotriene C4 (LTC4). Thi...

  • Kinetic characterization of Thiolate Anion formation and chemical catalysis of activated microsomal glutathione transferase 1.
    Biochemistry, 2004
    Co-Authors: Richard Svensson, Johan Ålander, Richard N. Armstrong, Ralf Morgenstern
    Abstract:

    Microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) displays the unique ability to be activated, up to 30-fold, by the reaction with sulfhydryl reagents, e.g., N-ethylmaleimide. Analysis of glutathione (GSH) Thiolate formation, which occurs upon mixing activated MGST1 with GSH, reveals biphasic kinetics, where the rapid phase dominated at higher GSH concentrations. The kinetic behavior suggests a two-step mechanism consisting of a rapid GSH-binding step (KDGSH ≈ 10 mM), followed by slower formation of Thiolate (k2 ≈ 10 s-1). The release rate (or protonation of the enzyme GSH Thiolate complex) of GS- was slow (k-2 = 0.016 s-1), consistent with overall tight binding of GSH. Electrophilic second substrates react rapidly with the E•GS- complex, and again, a two-step mechanism is suggested. In comparison to the unactivated enzyme [Morgenstern et al. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 3378−3384], the mechanisms of GSH Thiolate formation and electrophile interaction are similar; however, Thiolate Anion formation is enhanced 30-fo...

  • Kinetic analysis of the slow ionization of glutathione by microsomal glutathione transferase MGST1.
    Biochemistry, 2001
    Co-Authors: Ralf Morgenstern, Richard Svensson, Bryan A. Bernat, Richard N. Armstrong
    Abstract:

    An important aspect of the catalytic mechanism of microsomal glutathione transferase (MGST1) is the activation of the thiol of bound glutathione (GSH). GSH binding to MGST1 as measured by Thiolate Anion formation, proton release, and Meisenheimer complex formation is a slow process that can be described by a rapid binding step ( = 47 ± 7 mM) of the peptide followed by slow deprotonation (k2 = 0.42 ± 0.03 s-1). Release of the GSH Thiolate Anion is very slow (apparent first-order rate k-2 = 0.0006 ± 0.00002 s-1) and thus explains the overall tight binding of GSH. It has been known for some time that the turnover (kcat) of MGST1 does not correlate well with the chemical reactivity of the electrophilic substrate. The steady-state kinetic parameters determined for GSH and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) are consistent with Thiolate Anion formation (k2) being largely rate-determining in enzyme turnover (kcat = 0.26 ± 0.07 s-1). Thus, the chemical step of Thiolate addition is not rate-limiting and can be stud...
