| Abstract | THE COOPERATIVITY AND FEEDBACK INHIBITION EXHIBITED BY THE REGULATORY ENZYME, ASPARTATE TRANSCARBAMOYLASE (CARBAMOYLPHOSPHATE: L-aspartate carbamoyltransferase; EC 2.1.3.2), from Escherichia coli are generally attributed to ligand-promoted conformational changes involving alterations in the subunit interactions. However, no quantitative estimates have been made of the effect of ligands on the strength of the intersubunit bonding domains. The native enzyme, composed of two catalytic trimers 'crosslinked' by three regulatory dimers, shows little tendency to dissociate in neutral buffers at room temperature. In addition, very little exchange was observed in 2 hr between subunits within the intact enzyme and free subunits. Although exchange was enhanced in solutions of low ionic strength containing the bisubstrate analog, N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate, the rates of exchange were too small to permit reliable estimates of the weakening of the bonding domains caused by the ligand. Studies were conducted, therefore, on a less stable oligomeric complex which resembles the native enzyme in structure and allosteric behavior but lacks one regulatory subunit. These molecules, containing only four bonding domains between the catalytic and regulatory polypeptide chains (compared to six in the native enzyme), disproportionate to form the more stable native enzyme and free catalytic subunits. An electrophoretic technique is described for measuring the rate of disproportionation which is controlled by the rupture of the intersubunit bonding domains. This rate is enhanced about 300-fold upon the addition of the active-site ligand. Hence the ligand-promoted allosteric conversion of the enzyme-like complex from the constrained to the relaxed conformation involves a substantial weakening of the intersubunit interactions corresponding to about 1.7 kcal/mole (7.1 kJ/mole) per bonding domain between a catalytic and a regulatory chain. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
