HMx(Sp < Ca)A

Hyperbolic mixed, predominantly catalytic activation

Fingerprints of HMx(Sp<Ca)A: Dependence of the parameters on [X]
Fingerprints of HMx(Sp<Ca)A: Specific velocity plot and replots

Featured examples

  • Km↓ The apparent Michaelis constant decreases with increasing [X]
  • V (∴kcat) The apparent limiting rate, and therefore the catalytic constant, increase with increasing [X]

These symbols are shown only when the featured dependencies of the parameters on modifier concentration have been demonstrated by the authors.

(1) Always the varied substrate. In two- or more-substrate reactions the concentration(s) of the non varied substrate(s) is/are kept constant.

(2) Name of the mechanism given by the authors in the quoted reference. α, β and the inhibition/activation constants for the modifier (X), uniformly denoted KX, are the values specified by the authors. In some cases,  missing parameters have been calculated from graphical or tabular data provided in the papers. In two- or more-substrate reactions, KX represents an apparent constant at given concentrations of the fixed substrates and no calculations of the intrinsic values have been attempted.

(3) Full references at the end of the page provide also the digital object identifier (doi), if available. Clicking the authors (highlighted) opens the reference in PubMed.

(4) C-terminal fragment of the natural inhibitor hirudin with the sequence Acetyl-DFEEIPEEYLQ-COOH.

(5) At saturating NH4+ concentration, both substrates (phosphoenol pyruvate and shikimate-3-phosphate) behave as nonessential activators according to the mechanism HMx(Sp>Ca)I (see under HMx(Sp>Ca)I).

(6) The truncated form Δ(2-50) of the enzyme was used to catalyze the reaction:
Cholesterol + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 ⇄ (24S)-cholest-5-ene-3-beta,24-diol + [oxidized NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + H2O

(7) Calculated from Fig. 5 in Mast (2017).

(8) Indicative values calculated from Fig. 2A in Warren (1974).

(9) Calculated from Table 1 in Peracchi (1995)

(10) Symbols as in the original paper [Birrell (2003), free full text, see References]. Enzyme with substrate alone, binding is cooperative. The enzyme is a small monomeric molecule with a catalytic site and an allosteric site that can bind either a second molecule of substrate, which triggers nonessential activation, or the activator dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine. When this is present, activation occurs in parallel through the substrate and the activator whose mechanisms is hyperbolic specific activation (see entry 5 in HSpA).
