title: Dog liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase: purification and kinetic properties.
abstract: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) catalyses the first step of the pentose phosphate pathway which generates NADPH for anabolic pathways and protection systems in liver. G6PD was purified from dog liver with a specific activity of 130 U x mg(-1) and a yield of 18%. PAGE showed two bands on protein staining; only the slower moving band had G6PD activity. The observation of one band on SDS/PAGE with M(r) of 52.5 kDa suggested the faster moving band on native protein staining was the monomeric form of the enzyme. Dog liver G6PD had a pH optimum of 7.8. The activation energy, activation enthalpy, and Q10, for the enzymatic reaction were calculated to be 8.96, 8.34 kcal x mol(-1), and 1.62, respectively.The enzyme obeyed "Rapid Equilibrium Random Bi Bi" kinetic model with Km values of 122 +/- 18 microM for glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and 10 +/- 1 microM for NADP. G6P and 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate were used with catalytic efficiencies (kcat/Km) of 1.86 x 10(6) and 5.55 x 10(6) M(-1) x s(-1), respectively. The intrinsic Km value for 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate was 24 +/- 4mM. Deamino-NADP (d-NADP) could replace NADP as coenzyme. With G6P as cosubstrate, Km d-ANADP was 23 +/- 3mM; Km for G6P remained the same as with NADP as coenzyme (122 +/- 18 microM). The catalytic efficiencies of NADP and d-ANADP (G6P as substrate) were 2.28 x 10(7) and 6.76 x 10(6) M(-1) x s(-1), respectively. Dog liver G6PD was inhibited competitively by NADPH (K(i)=12.0 +/- 7.0 microM). Low K(i) indicates tight enzyme:NADPH binding and the importance of NADPH in the regulation of the pentose phosphate pathway.
