title: Similarity of kinetics of three types of myeloperoxidase from human leukocytes and four types from HL-60 cells.
abstract: Km values for H2O2 and Vmax values for three types of myeloperoxidase (MPO) from human leukocytes (MPO-I, -II, and -III) and four types from human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells (MPO-IA, -IB, -II, and -III) were determined. Km values of human leukocyte MPOs decreased with increasing pH from 4.4 to 6.2 and increased with increasing NaCl concentration from 0.025 to 0.14 M. There was no significant difference among Km values of leukocyte MPO-I, -II, and -III. NaBr also showed a tendency similar to that of NaCl with regard to the effects of pH and halide concentration on Km values. However, Km values in the presence of NaBr were lower than those in the presence of NaCl. Effects of pH and NaCl concentration on Vmax values of MPO-I, -II, and -III were also examined. Vmax values of MPO-I, -II, and -III were higher at pH 4.9 and 5.4 and increased with increasing NaCl concentration. In addition, no difference was observed between Km values of leukocyte and those of HL-60 cells. MPO-IB, the half-molecular-weight enzyme of HL-60 cells, also had the same Km values as the others. Furthermore, inhibition of the activities of seven MPOs of leukocytes and HL-60 cells by H2O2 was similarly observed at concentrations above 1 mM at pH 5.4 but not at pH 4.4. These results indicate that there is no difference in the affinity to H2O2 among leukocyte MPO-I, -II, and -III and HL-60 cell MPO-IA, -IB, -II, and -III.
