Phosphonacetyl-L-aspartate (PALA) is a potent inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamoylase because itmimics the two physiological substrates of the enzyme. However, in the presence of substrates, lowconcentrations of PALA increase the reaction rate of aspartate transcarbamoylase. Explain this result.
The reaction catalyzed by phosphorylase is readily reversible in vitro. At pH 6.8, the equilibrium ratio of orthophosphate to glucose 1-phosphate is 3.6. The value of ΔG°’ for this reaction is small because a glycosidic bond is replaced by a phosphoryl ester bond that has a nearly equal transfer potential. However, phosphorolysis proceeds far in the direction of glycogen breakdown in vivo. Suggest one means by which the reaction can be made irreversible in vivo.
The regulation of Glutamine Synthetase (GS) in E.coli, a model for this highly conserved homodecamer in mammals, and is a striking example of cumulative feedback inhibition through allosteric regulation. Explain the cumulative feedback inhibition of GS..
