title: Non-linear slow-binding inhibition of Aerococcus viridans lactate oxidase by Cibacron Blue 3GA.
abstract: Lactate oxidase (LOD) was purified from cells of Aerococcus viridans by phase partitioning in Triton X-114 (TX-114), ammonium sulphate fractionation and FPLC ion exchange chromatography. The purification achieved from a crude extract of A. viridans was 32-fold with a 60% recovery of activity. The isolated enzyme was a true FMN-containing LOD in tetrameric form with a subunit molecular weight of 48,000. The KM for L-lactate was 175 microM, a 6-fold less value than described in the literature. Among the inhibitors tested, Cibacron Blue 3GA showed the lowest Ki. At low concentrations, Cibacron Blue 3GA behaved as a dye-, pH- and time-dependent inhibitor. A Dixon plot of the steady-state rate showed the time-dependent inhibition to be non-linear, contrary to that described for other slow-binding inhibitors. A model to explain this phenomenon was proposed. The model implies the binding of Cibacron Blue 3GA to the isomerised form of the initial enzyme-inhibition complex (E'I).
