Guanosine thiophosphate derivatives as substrate analogues for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase.
The interactions of nucleotides with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were studied by using the stereospecific thiophosphate analogues of GDP and GTP. The metal ion dependent stereoselectivity of these analogues was determined by using steady-state kinetics. The RP and SP isomers of guanosine 5'-O-(1-thiodiphosphate) (GDP alpha S) were substrates with low turnover, and a small preference for the RP isomer was observed. Neither the enzyme-metal nor the nucleotide-metal complex elicited any substantial change in the selectivity. Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S) exhibited no substrate activity for the enzyme, regardless of the cations. This nucleotide was a competitive inhibitor against GDP, however. Both RP and SP diastereomers of guanosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (GTP alpha S) were good substrates for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase; in several cases, depending upon the cation, kcat and/or Vm/Km for the RP isomer is greater than for the substrate GTP. The enzyme-metal complex but not the nucleotide-metal complex affects the relative Km and the Vmax values. In contrast, guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiotriphosphate) (GTP beta S) (SP) is a much better substrate (greater than 50 times) than is GTP beta S (RP). The metal ions have little effect on the selectivity. These results suggest a specific interaction of the beta-phosphate of the nucleotide with the protein. The analogue guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GPT gamma S) serves as a substrate to yield GDP and thiophosphoenolpyruvate. The latter was detected by 31P NMR and was shown to slowly hydrolyze to form phosphoenolpyruvate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
