title: Mildly oxidized GAPDH: the coupling of the dehydrogenase and acyl phosphatase activities.
abstract: The hydrogen peroxide-induced 'non-phosphorylating' activity of D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is shown to be a result of the successive action of two forms of the enzyme subunits: one catalyzing production of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, and the other performing its hydrolytic decomposition. The latter form is produced by mild oxidation of GAPDH in the presence of a low hydrogen peroxide concentration when essential Cys-149 is oxidized to the sulfenate derivative. The results obtained with a C153S mutant of Bacillus stearothermophilus GAPDH rule out the possibility that intrasubunit acyl transfer between Cys-149 and a sulfenic form of Cys-153 is required for the 'non-phosphorylating' activity of the enzyme.
