| Abstract |
The enzyme GTP cyclohydrolase I, which catalyzes the first step in the pteridine biosynthetic pathway, has been purified by at least 4400-fold from Drosophila melanogaster. The active complex has an apparent molecular mass of 575,000 daltons, as estimated from gel filtration. This high molecular mass complex appears to be composed of a number of 39,000-dalton subunits. A polyspecific antiserum generated against the active complex has been used to identify this polypeptide as being severely affected by mutations in Punch, the structural gene for GTP cyclohydrolase. Enzyme activity is inhibited by divalent cations and high ionic strength buffers. No cofactors have been demonstrated to be required for enzyme activity. The enzyme displays positive cooperativity in phosphate buffer, a Hill number of 2.1, but only slight cooperativity in Tris buffer, a Hill number of 1.2. |
