Binary and ternary complexes of malate dehydrogenase with substrates and substrate analogs.
Hydroxypyrenetrisulfonate binds to pig mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (L-malate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37) in the presence and absence of coenzymes with a stoichiometry of one dye molecule/enzyme subunit. Binding is competitive with substrates and known substrate analogs as well as with squaric acid, a newly detected analog forming a ternary complex with enzyme/NAD+ similar to enzyme/NAD+/sulfite. Displacement of hydroxypyrenetrisulfonate by substrates and analogs was used to determine dissociation constants of binary and ternary complexes. Binary complexes form with dissociation constants of about 10 mM. They may be important for kinetic studies at high substrate concentrations where oxaloacetate inhibition and malate activation have been described.
