FIGURE 3.
Kinetic parameters of TGRGCUG with mtTrx and cTrx. Apparent Km and kcat of TGRGCUG with mtTrx and cTrx were obtained using the Trx-coupled assay. The initial reaction velocities (v0) at different Trx concentrations were measured at a constant and saturating NADPH concentration (200 μm) and a constant enzyme concentration (0.5 nm). Plots of v0 versus substrate concentration for mtTrx and cTrx are shown. The data were fitted to the Michaelis-Menten equation using Origin 7.5 software. Apparent Km and vmax were obtained from these fittings and apparent kcat was calculated from apparent vmax. Apparent Km, kcat, and kcat/Km values are indicated. The enzyme (TGRGCUG) concentration used for kcat calculation was corrected according to its selenium content.
