Inactivation of yeast enzymes by proteinase A and B and carboxypeptidase Y from yeast. 1976

M Jusić, and H Hinze, and H Holzer

Changes in the activities of 15 different enzymes during incubation of a crude yeast extract with the purified yeast proteinases A and B, and carboxypeptidase Y, respectively, have been measured. The spectrum of action of the three proteinases on the enzymes measured differs significantly, increasing or decreasing their activities or having no effect. Incubation of purified cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase or purified mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase with proteinases A and B results in selective inactivation of the cytoplasmic enzyme, whereas the mitochondrial activity is not affected. Carboxypeptidase Y has no effect on the activity of either dehydrogenase. The results support the idea of selective proteolysis as the mechanism of the earlier observed inactivation of cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase, initiated by the addition of glucose to intact yeast cells grown on acetate as carbon source ("glucose effect").

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008190	Lyases	A class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of C-C, C-O, and C-N, and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4.	Desmolase,Desmolases,Lyase
D008291	Malate Dehydrogenase	An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of (S)-malate and NAD+ to oxaloacetate and NADH. EC 1.1.1.37.	Malic Dehydrogenase,NAD-Malate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, Malate,Dehydrogenase, Malic,Dehydrogenase, NAD-Malate,NAD Malate Dehydrogenase
D010088	Oxidoreductases	The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9)	Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
