[Cytosolic thiamine triphosphatase from bovine brain. 1. Regulation of enzyme activity].
The steady-state kinetics of the ThTP hydrolysis by thiamine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.28) from bovine brain testified to the presence of two kinetically significant conformational states of the protein, their equilibrium being determined by the substrate concentration. The ThTPase isomeric forms had different activities, affinities for ThTP and activation energies. The form with high affinity for the substrate was characterized by the Km and Vmax values of 43 microM and 9.9 mumol.s-1.mg-1 whereas for the form with lower affinity these values were equal to 298 microM and 19.3 mumol.s-1.mg-1, respectively. The activation energies of the ThTP hydrolysis reactions were 85.3 and 47.1 kJ.mol-1. Several mechanisms of the enzyme activity regulation in the cell are suggested. One of the mechanisms is related to the allosteric ThTP effect inducing reversible transition of the protein to a more active conformational state, while the others include the inhibition activity by ATP and the activation of ThTP-ase by Mg2+ free ions.
