Abstract

Reaction of rat muscle AMP deaminase with low molar excess of tetranitromethane results in a rapid loss of free thiol groups and a concomitant decrease in enzyme activity at high, but not at low, AMP concentration. This modification appears to be limited to the same non-essential thiol groups reactive towards specific reagents in non-denaturing conditions. On incubation with higher molar excess of tetranitromethane, a loss of enzyme activity is observed, which correlates with nitration of tyrosine residues. By amino acid analysis, approximately there tyrosine residues per subunit are estimated to be nitrated in the completely inactivated enzyme. The kinetic properties of the partially inactivated AMP deaminase reveal a negative co-operatively behaviour at approximately half saturation. This suggests that modification of tyrosine residues is also responsible for alteration of the binding properties of the hypothesized activating site of AMP deaminase.
