Table 2. Summary of kinetic parameters for hydrolysis of N-terminal L-Asn angiotensin II (N1-AII) by hNTAN1.
Kinetic parameters were derived from nonlinear fit of the Michaelis-Menten equation to initial rate measurements. Reactions were carried out at 37°C in 50mM Tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.5. The parenthetical in the enzyme column depicts whether purified hNTAN1 was expressed from pNTANFLAGSII (+ Gly2) or from pNTAN2FLAGSII (− Gly2).
| Enzyme | KM (μM) | kcat (s−1) | kcat/KM (M−1s−1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| hNTAN1 (+Gly2) | 31 ± 4 | 2.3 ± 0.07 | 7.4 ± 1 × 104 |
| hNTAN1 (−Gly2) | 35 ± 3 | 6.6 ± 0.1 | 1.9 ± 0.2 × 105 |
