P1, P5-Bis-(5'-adenosyl)pentaphosphate: is this adenylate kinase inhibitor substrate for mitochondrial processes? 1977

J Köhrle, and J Lüstorff, and E Schlimme

1. P1, P5-Bis-(5'-adenosyl) pentaphosphate (AP5-A) inhibits "soluble" adenylate kinase even when this enzyme is an integral part of the complete mitochondrion. The Ki is 10(-5) M, i.e. about two orders of magnitude higher than the inhibitor contants determined for the purified adenylate kinase of rabbit muscle and an enzyme preparation separated from the mitochondrial intermembrane space. The weaker inhibitory effect is due to a lower accessibility of the enzyme. 2. as to be expected Ap5A which is of the "multisubstrate analogue"-type does not affect mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase. 3. Though Ap5A owns the structural elements of both ATP and ADP it is not a substrate of the adenine nucleotide carrier, i.e. neither it is exchanged across the inner mitochondrial membrane nor speicifically bound. 4. Ap5A is not metabolized by rat liver mitochondria.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D009701 Nucleoside-Diphosphate Kinase An enzyme that is found in mitochondria and in the soluble cytoplasm of cells. It catalyzes reversible reactions of a nucleoside triphosphate, e.g., ATP, with a nucleoside diphosphate, e.g., UDP, to form ADP and UTP. Many nucleoside diphosphates can act as acceptor, while many ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates can act as donor. EC 2.7.4.6.

D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D010770 Phosphotransferases A rather large group of enzymes comprising not only those transferring phosphate but also diphosphate, nucleotidyl residues, and others. These have also been subdivided according to the acceptor group. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.
