Exam 2 M7 Flashcards
define allostery
how a molecule binding to one site on a protein can affect that protein’s activity at distal sites unrelated to where that molecule is binding to
how do cells control enzymatic activity
availability
physical env
substrate availability
allostery
physical/chemical changes
effectors
is there significant secondary structure change upon allosteric binding
no
T/F: allostery dec sensitivity of enzyme to substrate
F
inhibitors bind to and stabilize
T state
activators bind to and stabilize
R state
does M-M apply to allosteric enzymes
no
ATCase is involved in
first step of biosynthesis of pyrimidines
structure of ATCase
multisubunit; 6 catalytic and 6 regulatory
does ATCase have cooperative substrate binding
yes
allosteric inhibitor of ATCase
CTP
allosteric activator of ATCase
ATP
substrates of ATCase
carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate
substrates for ATCase are _____ charged
negatively
ATCase has a ____ velocity curve
sigmoidal
does ATCase obey M-M?
no
ATCase: catalytic trimers can be isolated and are active; ___ greater than holoenzyme
Vmax
ATCase: dimer of trimers plus trimer of dimers
(c3)2(r2)3
ATCase: allosteric regulators bind to ___ and substrate binds to ____
regulatory dimers; catalytic trimers
ATCase: catalytic trimers are high catalytically active and even ___ active than intact full enzyme w 12 subunits
more
ATCase: ____ slows down enzyme
regulatory subunits
ATCase: what happens when substrate binds
pushes catalytic trimers apart and separates them out and gives substrate more room to bind active site
ATCase: driving to R state
substrate binding to 1 monomer of catalytic subunit drives formation of R state in all single monomers; only need 1 monomer to be bound and then all other monomers are locked into R state w higher binding affinity
ATCase: In T state, steric hindrances prevent ___ binding domain from rotating into favorable position for substrate binding
Asp
ATCase: ___ binding drives structural changes that remove barrier to rotation
