/* * In situ kinetic analysis of glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II in * Saccharomyces cerevisiae * * Model Status * * This model runs in both OpenCell and COR but does not replicate * the published results - probably because the publication does * not define the substate HTA. The units have been checked and * they are consistent. * * Model Structure * * ABSTRACT: The kinetics of glyoxalase I [(R)-S-lactoylglutathione * methylglyoxal-lyase; EC 4.4.1.5] and glyoxalase II (S-2-hydroxyacylglutathione * hydrolase; EC 3.1.2.6) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied * in situ, in digitonin permeabilized cells, using two different * approaches: initial rate analysis and progress curves analysis. * Initial rate analysis was performed by hyperbolic regression * of initial rates using the program HYPERFIT. Glyoxalase I exhibited * saturation kinetics on 0.05-2.5 mM hemithioacetal concentration * range, with kinetic parameters Km 0.53 +/- 0.07 mM and V (3.18 * +/- 0.16) x 10(-2) mM.min(-1). Glyoxalase II also showed saturation * kinetics in the SD-lactoylglutathione concentration range of * 0.15-3 mM and Km 0.32 +/- 0.13 mM and V (1.03 +/- 0.10) x 10(-3) * mM.min(-1) were obtained. The kinetic parameters of both enzymes * were also estimated by nonlinear regression of progress curves * using the raw absorbance data and integrated differential rate * equations with the program GEPASI. Several optimization methods * were used to minimize the sum of squares of residuals. The best * parameter fit for the glyoxalase I reaction was obtained with * a single curve analysis, using the irreversible Michaelis-Menten * model. The kinetic parameters obtained, Km 0.62 +/- 0.18 mM * and V (2.86 +/- 0.01) x 10(-2) mM.min(-1), were in agreement * with those obtained by initial rate analysis. The results obtained * for glyoxalase II, using either the irreversible Michaelis-Menten * model or a phenomenological reversible hyperbolic model, showed * a high correlation of residuals with time and/or high values * of standard deviation associated with Km. The possible causes * for the discrepancy between data obtained from initial rate * analysis and progress curve analysis, for glyoxalase II, are * discussed. * * The original paper reference is cited below: * * In situ kinetic analysis of glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II in * Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Margarida Martins, A. et al, 2001, * European Journal of Biochemistry, 268, 3930-3936.
