Baker's yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase has been found to catalyze Mg2+-dependent hydrolysis of imidodiphosphate yielding phosphate and amidophosphate. The reaction proceeds linearly in the presteady state. The catalytic constant is maximal at pH 9.0 and equals 0.5 min-1. Kinetic titrations of

The dynein motor domain consists of a ring of six AAA domains with a protruding microtubule-binding stalk and a C-terminal domain of unknown function. To understand how conformational information is communicated within this complex structure, we produced a series of

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-enriched vesicles from etiolated hypocotyls of mung bean seedlings (Vigna radiata) were successfully isolated using Ficoll gradient and two-phase (polyethylene glycol-dextran) partition. The ER-enriched vesicles contained inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) hydrolysis and its associated proton translocating activities. Antiserum prepared

Kinetic and binding studies of yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.1) revealed a regulatory PPi-binding site. Rate vs substrate concentration dependencies were markedly nonhyperbolic in the range of 0.1-150 microM MgPPi at fixed Mg2+ levels of 0.05-10 mM provided that the
S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase (ATP: L-methionine S-adenosyltransferase) catalyzes a two-step reaction in which tripolyphosphate (PPPi) is a tightly bound intermediate. Diimidotriphosphate (O(3)P-NH-PO(2)-NH-PO(3); PNPNP), a non-hydrolyzable analogue of PPPi, is the most potent known inhibitor of AdoMet synthetase with a K(i) of 2
