Table 1. Comparison of the main kinetic and thermodynamic parameters describing the inhibition of PDF by actinonin.

Parameter AtPDFa EcPDFa BsPDF2a , b
K I (nM)d 140±10 112±10 185±15
K I* (nM)c 0.9±0.5 1.3±0.2 2.9±0.8

a

The enzyme concentrations used in the assay were 100, 50, and 25 nM for AtPDF, EcPDF, and BsPDF2, respectively.

b

Data from [49].

c

Prior to kinetic analysis for determination of the K I* value, actinonin was incubated at the final concentration in the presence of the studied enzyme set for 10 min at 37°C. The kinetic assay was initiated by the addition of a small volume of the substrate.

d

For determination of K I, k 5, and k 6 values, actinonin was not preincubated with the enzyme. The kinetic assay was initiated by the addition of the enzyme.

e

k4 corresponds to the kinetic constant of the dissociation of the primary enzyme-actinonin complex. It is assumed that the rate of complex association is diffusion-limited (see Table 7.3 in [19]), that is, k3—the kinetic constant of the association of the primary enzyme-actinonin complex—is 109 M−1.s−1.

f

t1/2 is 0.693(k4+k5+k6)/k4k6 (see case of induced fit and calculation in Table 1 of [12]). In this case, t1/2∼0.693/k6 because k6<<k5<<k4.
