Evolution of Enzyme Kinetic Mechanisms

Abstract

This review paper discusses the reciprocal kinetic behaviours of enzymes and the evolution of structure–function dichotomy. Kinetic mechanisms have evolved in response to alterations in ecological and metabolic conditions. The kinetic mechanisms of single-substrate mono-substrate enzyme reactions are easier to understand and much simpler than those of bi–bi substrate enzyme reactions. The increasing complexities of kinetic mechanisms, as well as the increasing number of enzyme subunits, can be used to shed light on the evolution of kinetic mechanisms. Enzymes with heterogeneous kinetic mechanisms attempt to achieve specific products to subsist. In many organisms, kinetic mechanisms have evolved to aid survival in response to changing environmental factors. Enzyme promiscuity is defined as adaptation to changing environmental conditions, such as the introduction of a toxin or a new carbon source. Enzyme promiscuity is defined as adaptation to changing environmental conditions, such as the introduction of a toxin or a new carbon source. Enzymes with broad substrate specificity and promiscuous properties are believed to be more evolved than single-substrate enzymes. This group of enzymes can adapt to changing environmental substrate conditions and adjust catalysing mechanisms according to the substrate’s properties, and their kinetic mechanisms have evolved in response to substrate variability.

Formation of β-glucogallin, the precursor of ellagic acid in strawberry and raspberry

“…GTs form a vast and diverse enzyme class that comprise proteins with not only specific but also promiscuous in planta functions ( Hall and De Luca, 2007 ). Enzyme promiscuity might derive from evolutionary adaption to changing environmental conditions, and proteins with a broad substrate spectrum are believed to be more evolved than single-substrate enzymes ( Ulusu, 2015 ). Our results provide evidence that GT2 homologous proteins catalyze the formation of the first known precursor of ellagic acid biosynthesis not only in garden strawberry ( F.×ananassa ), but also in woodland strawberry ( F. vesca ) and raspberry ( R. idaeus ).…”

In vitro interaction of glutathione S‐transferase‐pi enzyme with glutathione‐coated silver sulfide quantum dots: A novel method for biodetection of glutathione S‐transferase enzyme

“…Reaction with GSH-Ag 2 S QDs as GST substrate analogue may be due to GSTs' promiscuity properties (Pljesa-Ercegovac et al, 2018). GST enzymes have a broad number of substrates, and therefore, these enzymes may have an important ability to catalyze fortuitous side reactions in addition to their main reaction (Pljesa-Ercegovac et al, 2018;Ulusu, 2015).…”

“…1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) is accepted as a general substrate and can be used to measure activity in various sources such as cell and bacterial lysates, tissue homogenates, plasma and erythrocyte lysates, and plants. (Carneiro et al, 2017;Tu, Wright, Rix, & Ahokas, 2006;Ulusu, 2015;Valenzuela-Chavira et al, 2017). Also, GST is tightly associated with the drug resistance and detoxification in the organisms (Gate & Tew, 2001;Meijerman, Beijnen, & Schellens, 2008;Sau, Pellizzari Tregno, Valentino, Federici, & Caccuri, 2010).…”

Cornerstones of biochemistry in stamps / Pullarda biyokimyanın temel taşları

“…Same group have compared the structure of the heme-NO and oxygen binding (H-NOX) domain in two different crystal forms and they have suggested a mechanism whereby alteration in the degree of distortion of the heme group is coupled to changes on the molecular (Figure 7) [12]. The single-substrate enzymatic reactions [13] can be symbolized as in the (Figure 8). I have asked Dr. Patricia Pellicena she is also from Prof. Dr. John Kuriyans' research group and she have explained me that the stamps on the web page associated with the lab's publications are the creation of the primary author of that publication.…”
