Abstract

This work reports studies of the catalytic and structural properties of pyridoxal kinase (ATP: pyridoxal 5' -phosphotransferase, EC. 2.7.1.35), Pyridoxal kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of vitamin $B_6$ (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine) using ATP-Zn as a phosphoryl donor. The enzyme purified from brain tissues is made up of two identical subunits of 40 kDa each. Native enzyme was inhibited by a substrate analogue, pyridoxal-oxime. Limited chymotrypsin digestion of pyridoxal kinase yields two fragments of 24 and 16 kDa with concomitant loss of catalytic activity. These fragments were isolated by DEAE ion exchange chromatography and used for binding studies with fluorescent ATP and pyridoxal analogues. The spectroscopic properties of both fluorescent pyridoxal analogue and Anthraniloyl ATP (Ant-ATP) bound to the 24 kDa fragment are indistinguishable from those of both pyridoxal analogue and Ant-ATP bound to the native pyridoxal kinase, respectively. The small 16 kDa fragment, generated by proteolytic cleavage of the kinase, does not bind any of the substrate analogues. Binding characteristics of Ant-ATP were extensively studied by measuring the changes in fluorescence spectra at various conditions. From the results presented herein, it is postulated that the structural domain associated with catalytic activity comprises approximately one-half of the molecular mass of pyridoxal kinase (24 kDa). whereas the remaining portion (16 kDa) of the enzyme contains a regulatory binding domain.
