COMMENTARY
LITERATURE
ENZYME 3D STRUCTURE
in vitro stimulation of prostaglandin F2alpha and D2 production
-
luminescence activity of BFP-aq 1s stimulated 1.5- to 2fold by imidazole at concentrations of 30-300 mM. Imidazole has no effect on the binding affinity of coelenterazine and may act as a catalytic base
-
alphaH44A mutant, works as catalytic base
-
activates recombinant wild-type enzyme and mutant V311M
-
in complex with Cu2+ enhances activity
-
unprotonated imidazole causes a 5fold increase in maximal velocity
-
stimulates activity of the mutant up to 5.5fold
-
5 mM, activity of both isoenzymes is modestly enhanced
-
strongly increases activity
-
20 mM, activates enzyme activity by 8%
activation
-
activating ability in decreasing order: histamine, imidazole, L-histidine, D-histidine
-
0.2 M, accelerates 5fold
-
imidazole buffers promote the enzyme activity
-
enhances activity of wild-type enzyme markedly, enhances Y171A somewhat and fails to enhance Y171F. When stoichiometric levels of tyrosine are included in the reaction with imidazole, wild-type enzyme as well as mutant enzymes are stimulated. Degree of stimulation of wild-type enzyme continues to exceed that of the mutants
addition at concentrations below that of Mg2+ increases the activity

LITERATURE
ENZYME 3D STRUCTURE
increasing the amount of imidazole in the reaction mixture with purified RDH-E2 from 25 to 225mM significantly decreases RDH-E2 activity
-
activity is reduced down to 32% in the presence of 1 mM imidazole and addition of 250 mM results in complete inactivity
-
1 mM, 32% inhibition
-
175 mM,pH 7.0, 74% inhibition
-
1 mM, 20% inhibition
-
48% residual activity at 100 mM
-
enzyme shows a decrease in its activity with increasing imidazole concentration, approximately 50% activity is lost in the presence of 0.8 M imidazole
-
0.18 mM, 24% inhibition of the activity with quercetin, 81% inhibition of the activity with o-dianisidine, isoenzyme POX II; 0.18 mM, 72% inhibition of the activity with quercetin, 97% inhibition of the activity with o-dianisidine, isoenzyme POX I
-
negatively cooperative or competitive
-
presence results in a reversible inactivation of the enzyme
-
imidazoles coordinate the heme iron atom, impair ferric heme reduction, produce uncompetitive inhibition with respect to O2 and NO and inhibit NO metabolism
-
20% inhibition at 1 mM
-
0.1 mM, complete inhibition
-
1 mM, 14% loss of activity
-
the demethylation of cob(I)inamide reaction is inhibited by imidazole. Imidazole does not inhibit methyltransfer from methylcob(III)alamin to coenzyme M at 10 mM
-
weak inhibition of wild-type enzyme
-
wild-type
-
weak, 25% inhibition at 0.4 M
-
12.1 mM, 76% inhibition of the reaction with adenine and deoxycytidine
-
tolerable at low concentrations, but inhibits at concentrations higher than 25 mM
-
uncompetitive inhibition
-
competitive
-
Zn2+ enhances kinetic inhibition by imidazole 560fold due to formation of ternary complexes with enzyme
-
90-30% loss of activity, thiobenzyl benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysinate as substrate
-
hemoglobin hydrolysis inhibited, cleavage of small synthetic peptide and ester substrates enhanced
-
10 mM: 99% of maximal activity
-
leads to a complete elimination of enzyme activity towards D-gluconate
-
imidazole may coordinate to ferric heme iron, triggering a heme-iron transition from high spin state to low spin state
-
noncompetitive
-
non-competitive
-
imidazole stacks on the bound heme and inhibits heme oxidation by H2O2, heme dissociation by DTT, and catalytic activity
-
0.001 mM, 75% inhibition
