Lecture #14 Regulatory Enzymes
Outline • Phosphofructokinase-1 • Describing the bound states of activators and inhibitors • Integration with glycolysis
Background • Tetramer • 3 Isoforms: M,L,P (muscle, liver, platelet) • 2 Natural Forms: R,T (relaxed, tight) • Known inhibitors: ATP, citrate, PEP • Known activators: AMP, cAMP, Pi, SO4, FBP • Catalytic Activity:
The Catalytic Mechanism:binding of the two substrates followed by the chemical reaction 1) 2) 3)
AMP and ATP as regulatory ligands activation conformation inhibition
Pools and Ratios • PFK – R state • All forms of R0 + R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 • PFK – T state • All forms of T0 + T1 + T2 + T3 + T4 • PFK – R catalytic state • All forms of Ri,AF • Ratios • At steady state ~ rR = 90%, rcat = 12%
Let’s revisit the subnetwork Equilibrium v = 0 Steady State
Constraints on the Network • Total mass balance: • Total flux: • Known equilibrium constants
Solving for the concentrations Note: When equilibrium constants are plugged in, all forward rate constants in equilibrium reactions fall out, leaving only the catalytic rate constants
Estimating the catalytic rate constants Chosen Steady State kPFK kATP kF6P
Dynamic Simulation • Two perturbations • Standard 50% increase in ATP utilization • Additional 15% decrease in ATP utilization
Glycolysis Dynamics 50% increase in ATP utilization 15% decrease in ATP utilization
Summary • Enzymes can be explicitly represented in simulation modules as molecules • Enzymes have many binding states • Binding of regulators (inhibitors and activators) alters protein activity; leading to a ‘tug of war’ amongst the functional states (i.e. T and R) • Ratios that represent what fraction of the enzyme is in an active or inhibited functional states can be formed • Enzyme sub-networks can be seamlessly integrated with the scaffold metabolic network • Regulator binding to PFK, a key glycolytic regulatory enzyme, was demonstrated
