The presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) largely modulates the enzyme kinetics parameters of the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A9, increasing both the apparent aglycone substrate affinity of the enzyme and its limiting reaction velocity ( Drug Metab Dispos 39: 2117–2129, 2011). For a better understanding of the BSA effects and an examination of whether its presence changes the catalytic mechanism, we have studied the enzyme kinetics of 4-methylumbelliferone glucuronidation by UGT1A9 in the presence and absence of 0.1% BSA, using bisubstrate enzyme kinetic experiments, in both the forward and reverse directions, as well as product and dead-end inhibition. The combined results strongly suggest that the reaction mechanism of UGT1A9, and presumably other human UGTs as well, involves the formation of a compulsory-order ternary-complex, with UDP-α-d-glucuronic acid (UDPGA) as the first binding substrate. Based on the enzyme kinetic parameters measured for the forward and reverse reactions, the equilibrium constant of the overall reaction was calculated ( K eq = 574) and the relative magnitudes of the reaction rate constants were elucidated. The inclusion of BSA in the bisubstrate kinetic experiments quantitatively changed the apparent enzyme kinetic parameters, presumably by removing internal inhibitors that bind to the binary enzyme-UDPGA (E-UDPGA) complex, as well as to the ternary E-UDPGA-aglycone complex. Nevertheless, the underlying compulsory-order ternary-complex mechanism with UDPGA binding first is the same in both the absence and presence of BSA. The results offer a novel understanding of UGT enzyme kinetic mechanism and BSA effects.
牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的存在显著调节了人尿苷二磷酸-葡萄糖醛酸基转移酶(UGT) 1A9的酶动力学参数,增加了酶对糖苷配基底物的表观亲和力及其极限反应速度(Drug Metab Dispos 39: 2117–2129, 2011)。为了更好地理解BSA效应并检验其存在是否改变催化机制,我们通过双底物酶动力学实验,分别在正反两个方向以及产物和死端抑制的条件下,研究了在0.1% BSA存在与否的情况下,UGT1A9对4-甲基伞形酮葡萄糖苷酸化的酶动力学。综合结果强烈表明,UGT1A9反应机制,以及可能其他人类UGT也是如此,涉及形成一个强制顺序的三元复合物,其中UDP-α-d-葡萄糖醛酸(UDPGA)是第一个结合的底物。根据测得的正反反应的酶动力学参数,计算出整个反应的平衡常数(Keq = 574)并阐明了反应速率常数的相对大小。在双底物动力学实验中加入BSA,通过去除与二元酶-UDPGA(E-UDPGA)复合物以及三元E-UDPGA-糖苷配基复合物结合的内部抑制剂,定量地改变了表观酶动力学参数。然而,无论BSA是否存在,其基础的强制顺序三元复合物机制以及UDPGA首先结合的情况是相同的。这些结果为我们提供了一种新的理解UGT酶动力学机制及BSA效应的视角。
