Does metabolite channeling accelerate enzyme-catalyzed cascade reactions?

Abstract: Metabolite or substrate channeling is a direct transfer of metabolites from one enzyme to the next enzyme in a cascade. Among many potential advantages of substrate channeling, acceleration of the total reaction rate is considered as one of the most important and self-evident. However, using a simple model, supported by stochastic simulations, we show that it is not always the case; particularly at long times (i.e. in steady state) and high substrate concentrations, a channeled reaction cannot be faster, and c… Show more

“…The advantage of such scaffolding systems is that they can be used to direct and align biosynthetic pathway enzymes to orchestrate greater production of commodity and speciality chemicals, especially in pathways that proceed through unstable or toxic intermediates 6,7 . This is because the close proximity of enzymes on a scaffold allow for greater channeling of intermediates, through improved flux, stabilization of intermediates and protection from other reactions 8,9 .…”

“…Inspired by the cascade processes in nature, scientists have recently developed effective strategies in order to artificially co-localize diverse enzymes on nanocarriers for the development of nanobiocatalytic systems [20,21]. Multi-enzyme immobilization places several free enzymes in proximity, thus enabling the substrate channeling effect that can remarkably reduce diffusion losses and accelerate the overall cascade reaction rate [22][23][24]. So far, the successful simultaneous covalent co-immobilization of various classes of enzymes, mainly hydrolases and oxidoreductases, on magnetic nanoparticles for the catalysis of cascade reactions of biotechnological interest has been reported.…”

“…Substrate channeling is most frequently described as a physiological mechanism that leads to efficient utilization of reactive metabolites 23,29,39 . The concentration of glycolytic enzymes in cells is much higher than the concentration of their substrates 23 , what indicates that in glycolysis the regulation of enzyme activity can be more important than efficient substrate utilization 11,47 . Our results indicate that substrate channeling can regulate metabolism by at least two different mechanisms: i ) allosteric regulation of differences in enzyme-substrate off -rates between different substrates or isozymes (supp.…”
