| Abstract | Cartilage from chick embryos was incubated with 14C-proline and puromycin in order to prepare puromycin peptides which were substrates for the synthesis of 14C-hydroxyproline with protocollagen proline hydroxylase. Stable enzyme-substrate complexes were recovered when the substrate was mixed with the enzyme and the mixtures were examined by gel filtration.Although ascorbate, α-ketoglutarate, and ferrous iron are required for catalytic activity, formation of the enzyme-substrate complexes did not require addition of the cofactors or cosubstrates to dialyzed enzyme. Formation of the complexes was reduced but not prevented by EDTA in concentrations which inhibited catalytic activity.Under the conditions used, the enzyme in the isolated complexes was readily saturated with substrate, but it was difficult to saturate the substrate with enzyme. With high concentrations of enzyme relative to substrate, the initial velocity for the reaction was greater than the initial velocity observed with the isolated enzyme-substrate complexes, suggesting that 1 molecule of polypeptide substrate could bind more than 1 molecule of enzyme.The enzyme-substrate complexes were in equilibrium with free enzyme and substrate, since addition of a competing polypeptide produced a dissociation of the initial complexes and a rapid inhibition of the hydroxylation of the substrate. Most of the substrate was still recovered in the enzyme-substrate complexes under conditions in which the over-all concentration of substrate was about 100 pm polypeptide. Since the enzyme appeared to be saturated with substrate under these conditions, the results suggested that the dissociation constant for the complexes expressed in terms of the molar concentration of substrate polypeptides was probably less than 100 pm. The affinity of the enzyme for substrate decreased after partial hydroxylation of the substrate. After one-sixth of the available 14C-proline in the substrate was converted to 14C-hydroxyproline, it was no longer possible to demonstrate enzyme-substrate complexes in the gel filtration column.Previous kinetic measurements demonstrated that the enzyme has a higher affinity for large polypeptides than for small ones of the same structure, and that a single encounter between enzyme and a large polypeptide probably involves a large segment of the polypeptide. The present results indicate that multiple encounters between enzyme and substrate are necessary to complete the hydroxylation of polypeptide substrates with molecular weights of up to 100,000. Since the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate decreases after partial hydroxylation of the substrate, the introduction of the final few hydroxyl groups into large polypeptide substrates apparently does not proceed as readily as the introduction of the first few hydroxyl groups. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
