Abstract:
:The linear noncompetitive inhibition of the pepsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of Ac-Phe-Phe-Gly at pH 2.1 by L-Ac-Phe, L-Ac-Phe-NH2, and L-Ac-Phe-OEt has been claimed to substantiate the ordered release of products specified by the amino-enzyme mechanism for pepsin action. According to this interpretation, the binding of inhibitor to free enzyme and the amino-enzyme intermediate (Scheme I) generates the observed inhibition pattern. The proposition is valid only if a simple alternative explanation for the kinetic data, Scheme II, can be disproved. Scheme II attributes the inhibition pattern to the binding of inhibitor to free enzyme and the enzyme-substrate (Michaelis) complex. The experiments reported here have enabled us to distinguish between the two mechanisms. The pepsin-catalyzed hydrolyses of Ac-Phe-Trp, Z-H'IS-Phe-Trp, Z-Gly-His-Phe-Trp, and Z-Ala-His-Phe-Trp at pH 1.8 occur exclusively at the Phe-Trp bond and must yield the same amino-enzyme, E-Trp, if it is implicated. Under these circumstances, Scheme I requires that a plot of 1/kc vs. (I)o for the four substrates and a given noncompetitive inhibitor provide a set of four parallel lines. Scheme II predicts that the four lines generally will not be parallel. L-Ac-Phe, L-Ac-Phe-NH2, L-Ac-Phe-OMe, and D-Ac-Phe act as linear noncompetitive inhibitors for the pepsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of the four Trp-containing substrates. The plot of 1/kc vs. (I)o for each inhibitor results in a set of four nonparallel lines. Therefore Scheme II must be correct and the detection of noncompetitive inhibition accompanying the pepsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of peptides offers no insight into the merits of the amino-enzyme hypothesis.
