Partial purification, properties, and kinetic studies of UDP-glucose:p-hydroxybenzoate glucosyltransferase from cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon.

Abstract:

:A glucosyltransferase, which catalyzed the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose (UDPG) to p-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) in cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon Sieb. et Zucc., Boraginaceae, was purified 219-fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephadex G-150, and phenyl-Sepharose Cl-4B. p-Hydroxybenzoic acid O-beta-D-glucoside (PHB-glc) was identified as a product of the enzymatic reaction. This glucosyltransferase has a molecular weight of 47,500 Da, an isoelectric point at pH 5.0, and a pH optimum of 7.8. The enzyme does not sediment at 100,000g. Enzyme activity did not require metal cofactors. The enzyme was highly specific for p-hydroxybenzoate (Km 0.264 mM) and UDP-glucose (Km 0.268 mM). Initial velocity studies suggest that the enzyme reaction mechanism is a sequential rather than a ping-pong mechanism. Product inhibition patterns are consistent with an ordered sequential bi-bi mechanism, where UDPG is the first substrate to bind to the enzyme and UDP the final product released. The data indicate the formation of a dead-end complex between PHB-glc and the enzyme. Uncompetitive inhibition by the substrate PHB can be put down to the formation of an abortive complex between E-UDP and PHB.
