Covalent interaction of L-2-amino-4-oxo-5-chloropentanoic acid with rat renal phosphate-dependent glutaminase. Evidence for a specific glutamate binding site and of subunit heterogeneity. 1978

R A Shapiro, and V M Clark, and N P Curthoys

Rat renal phosphate-dependent glutaminase is rapidly inactivated by incubating with L-2-amino-4-oxo-5-chloropentanoic scid. Concentrations of phosphate, which increase the glutaminase activity, decrease the rate of inactivation by chloroketone. In addition, inactivation is not blocked by glutamine. Instead, glutamate was shown to specifically reduce the rate of chloroketone inactivation. Upon sodium lauryl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified glutaminase preparation exhibits at least five protein staining bands which range in molecular weight from 57,000 to 75,000. Studies with 14C-labeled chloroketone indicate that this reagent reacts with each of these peptides. The mean stoichiometry of binding was calculated to be 1.3 mol/mol of enzyme. Therefore, these results indicate that the glutaminase may contain a specific site for binding glutamate and that the purified enzyme consists of a series of related peptides which may have resulted from partial proteolysis.
