Octopine dehydrogenase from Pecten maximus: steady-state mechanism.
The steady-state kinetic mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by octopine dehydrogenase [N2-(1-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine:NAD+ oxidoreductase] was investigated at pH 6.9 and 9.2 by studies of substrate inhibition, analogue inhibition, and product inhibition. In the direction of octopine synthesis, the inhibition patterns in the presence of delta- guanidinovalerate and propionate show that NADH binds to the enzyme first followed by L-arginine and pyruvate which bind randomly. In the direction of octopine oxidation, the substrate patterns show that NAD binds to the enzyme before octopine in a rapid equilibrium fashion, and the product inhibition patterns show that the products L-arginine and pyruvate are released in a random fashion. Double, synergistic, substrate inhibition by L-arginine and pyruvate was shown to be due to binding (hypothetically of the imine) to the free enzyme and the enzyme-NAD complex. Furthermore, an alternate minor pathway was demonstrated which includes an enzyme-NADH-octopine complex and an enzyme-octopine complex.
