title: Studies of self-inactivation of bovine seminal fluid NAD glycohydrolase.
abstract: Bovine seminal fluid NAD glycohydrolase (NADase) was observed to be rapidly inactivated during catalytic hydrolysis of the substrate NAD. The first-order rate constant for the self-inactivation process was independent of enzyme concentration. The enzyme self-inactivation was a turnover-related process and the number of moles of NAD hydrolyzed required for inactivation was proportional to the enzyme concentration. A number of dinucleotides serving as substrates for the enzyme also promoted self-inactivation. The self-inactivation was an irreversible process having a different rate-limiting step from NAD hydrolysis and was not related to the reversible binding of products and substrate-competitive inhibitors. Modification of arginine residues of the enzyme resulted in the loss of NAD hydrolase activity with no differential effect on the self-inactivation process.
