in aqueous media, muscle pyruvate kinase is highly selective for K+ over Na+. Dimethylsulfoxide favors the partition of K+ and Na+ into the monovalent and divalent cation binding sites of the enzyme. The kinetics of the enzyme at subsaturating concentrations of activators show that K+ and Mg2+ exhibit high selectivity for their respective cation binding sites, whereas when Na+ substitutes K+, Na+ and Mg2+ bind with high affinity to their incorrect sites. The ratio of the affnities of Mg2+ and K+ for the monovalent cation binding site is close to 200. For Na+ and Mg2+ this ratio is approximately 20. The data suggest that K+ induces conformational hanges that prevent the binding of Mg2+ to the monovalent cation binding site

interaction of three Trp residues, Tr157, Trp481, and Trp514, with activating cations, overview. The majority of changes in tryptophan fluorescence signal from PK induced by the binding of activating cations come from Trp157. Interactions with Mg2+ and K+ lead to more exposed tryptophan residues of PK while interactions with phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP decrease solvent accessibility of the tryptophan residues
treatment of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase with 10 mM ascorbate causes an inactivation with the cleavage of peptide bond. The inactivation or fragmentation of the enzyme is prevented by addition of Mg2+, catalase, and mannitol, but ADP and PEP the substrates do not show any effect
treatment of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase with 0.02 mM FeSO4 causes an inactivation with the cleavage of peptide bond. The inactivation or fragmentation of the enzyme is prevented by addition of Mg2+, catalase, and mannitol, but ADP and PEP the substrates do not show any effect
acts as an allosteric inhibitor of muscle isozyme and induces the enzyme to exist in multiple conformations by locking it in an expanded or asymmetric conformation, which is contrary effect to that of phosphoenolpyruvate binding
alanine is a nonallosteric analogue of phenylalanine, it binds competitively with phenylalanine but elicits a negligible allosteric inhibition, i.e., a negligible reduction in the affinity of the muscle enzyme for the substrate, phosphoenolpyruvate
interactions with Mg2+ and K+ lead to more exposed tryptophan residues of PK while interactions with phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP decrease solvent accessibility of the tryptophan residues
replacing the carboxyl group of the substrate with a methyl alcohol or removing the phosphate altogether greatly reduces substrate affinity. Removal of the carboxyl group is the only modification tested that removes the ability to allosterically reduce the level of Phe binding. Requirement for monovalent and divalent cations for allosteric inhibition
catalysis by muscle pyruvate kinase involves domain movements and conformational changes induced by activating cations and its substrates. Fluorescence acrylamide quenching analyses reveal that interactions with Mg2+ and K+ lead to a more exposed active site of the enzyme while interactions with phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP decrease solvent accessibility of the active site, overview
movement of the B domain is essential for the catalytic reaction. Rotation of the B domain in the opening of the cleft between domains B and A induced by the binding of activating cations allows substrates to bind, whereas substrate binding shifts the rotation of the B domain in the closure of the cleft. The enzyme exhibits a more dynamic structure after binding of activating metal ions and substrates, whereas binding of Phe decreases the dynamics
