Booth, JW and Guidotti, G (1995) An alleged yeast polyphosphate kinase is actually diadenosine-5', 5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate alpha,beta-phosphorylase.J. Biol. Chem. 270:19377-82
| Abstract | Polyphosphates are a major constituent of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A purification of the enzyme polyphosphate kinase (E.C. 2.7.4.1) from this organism has been reported (Felter, S., and Stahl, A.J.C. (1973) Biochimie (Paris) 55, 245-251). The assay for activity used in this purification was the production of 32P-labeled nucleotide, presumed to be ATP, in the presence of [32P]polyphosphate and ADP. We have found that this assay does not reflect the activity of a polyphosphate kinase but rather the combination of an exopolyphosphatase, releasing free [32P]phosphate from the added [32P]polyphosphate, and the ADP-[32P]phosphate exchange activity of the enzyme diadenosine 5',5"'-P1, P4-tetraphosphate alpha, beta-phosphorylase (Ap4A phosphorylase). We also present direct evidence for the formation of an enzyme-AMP intermediate in the actin of Ap4A phosphorylase. |
