Question
Chapter 25, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The relative enzymatic activity of GS monomers should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Glutamine synthetase (GS) (EC six.3.1.2) is a protein that plays an important role within the microorganism. GS are dodecamers with twelve active sites between every compound. Every substance will scale back the activity of the enzyme; once all final aminoalkanoic acid metabolites are certain to GS, the activity of GS is sort of utterly restrained.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis. The mammalian enzyme is tetrameric, negatively regulated by both Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and AMP. Propose three (3) distinct models for how these molecules regulate FBPase activity. Also, describe how the enzyme might differentiate between Fructose 1,6 bisphosphate and Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate binding to the allosteric site on the enzyme with particular emphasis on amino acids comprising the allosteric binding site(s).
The sedimentation value of aspartate transcarbamoylase decreases when the enzyme switches to the R state. On the basis of the allosteric properties of the enzyme, explain why the sedimentation value decreases.
Amino transferases catalyze the transfer of amino groups to alpha-keto acids with pyridoxal phosphate as the prosthetic group. Pyridoxal phosphate can accept an amino group, and its aminated form, pyridoxamine phosphate, can donate its amino group to an alpha-keto acid. Illustrate the detailed mechanism of the transamination reaction in the active site of an aminotransferase. Use the glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase as an example.

This reaction was analyzed using purified membrane fragments containing the hyaluronan synthase, a radio-labeled tetrasaccharide acceptor (Part A), along with the activated forms of the sugar subunits: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-glucuronic acid. In short incubations with the complete mixture, the tetrasaccharide primer elongated by several units, although only odd-numbered chains were visible (Part B lane 2).
