Effect of Cytosine Analogues on Cytosine Deaminase from Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840

Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840의 Cytosine Deaminase에 미치는 Cytosine Analogue의 영향

In this study investigated the effect of cytosine deaminase activity from Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840 by cytosine analogues. The results were as follows. The enzyme was strongly inibited by 2-thiouracil, 2-thiocytosine, 6-azacytosine and 2-mercaptopyrimidine. The half inhibitory concentration(HIC) of 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine on cytosine deaminase was 0.80mM and 1.15mM, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited at a certain level by addition of 2-thiocytosine immediately, but was maintained to some extend under the inhibited state by 6-azacytosine in proportion to reaction time. Regardless of kinds of substrate such as cytosine and 5-fluorocytosine, 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine showed action as inhibitors, 2-thiocytosine inhibited cytosine deaminase activity about twice as strong as 6-azacytosine. The enzyme, when cytosine was used as a substrate, was revealed the pattern of competitive inhibition by 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine, The ki value for these compounds was 4.5$\times$10-4M and 1.756$\times$10-3M, respectively. At this point, the Hill coefficient for cytosine, 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine was 1.80, 1.81 and 2.45, respectively.

Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840이 생산하는 cytosine deaminase에 미치는 cytosine analogue의 영향을 조사하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. Cytosine deaminase의 강한 저해를 나타내는 cytosine analogue는 2-thiouracil, 2-thiocytosine, 2-mercaptopyrimidine, 및 6-azacytosine이었다. 2. 본 효소에 대한 2-thiocytosine 및 6-azacytosine의 50% 효소활성 저해농도(HIC)는 각각 0.80mM과 1.15mM이었다. 3. 2-thiocytosine은 일정한 수준에서 본 효소의 반응을 정지시키는 반면, 6-azacytosine은 반응시간에 비례하여 일정한 비율로 저해하였다. 4. 2-thiocytosine과 6-azacytosine은 cytosine이나 5-fluorocytosine의 기질 종류에 관계없이 본 효소의 저해제로 작용하였으며 2-thiocytosine이 6-azacytosine보다 약 2배 정도의 높은 저해를 나타내었다. 5. cytosine을 기질로 하였을 경우, 2-thiocytosine과 6-azacytosine에 의해 경쟁적 저해를 나타내며 이들에 대한 Ki값은 각각 4.5$\times$10-4M과 1.756$\times$10-3M이었으며 cytosine, 2-thiocytosine 및 6-azacytosine에 대한 Hill 계수(Hn)는 각각 1.80, 1.81, 2.45로 나타났다.
