Effect of salts on D-glycerate dehydrogenase kinetic behavior.
Bovine liver D-glycerate dehydrogenase (D-glycerate:NAD (NADP) oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.29) adapts its kinetic behaviour to a sequential mechanism. The presence of NaCl causes an appreciable variation in the Km and V values. relative to the both substrates in the hydroxypyruvate/D-glycerate dehydrogenase/NADH system, which does not happen in the D-glycerate/D-glycerate dehydrogenase/NAD system. The former system is inhibited by high concentrations of NaCl and activated by low salt concentrations. The hydroxypyruvate concentration causing substrate inhibition increases as the concentration of NaCl increases; excess NADH inhibition is independent of the salt concentration. The variation of the initial rates of both systems, in the presence of chlorides having monovalent and divalent cations, or sodium halides, Na2SO4 and NaNO3 (at constant ionic strength) suggests that the anions have a specific action on the enzyme. An increase in the NaCl concentration causes a displacement of the optimum D-glycerate dehydrogenase pH (with hydroxypyruvate and NADH as substrates) towards the acid area. The enzyme stability, at varying pH, varies with the salt concentration.
