Adenylate kinase

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Adenylate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group between adenine nucleotides, specifically converting ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and AMP (adenosine monophosphate). This enzyme plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism and homeostasis.

Enzyme Kinetics of PKAL-1 via Coupled Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The enzyme kinetics of PKAL-1 were determined through an enzyme-coupled spectrophotometric assay35 (link). Each 100 μL assay mixture contained 100 mM Tris buffer pH 7.4, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM MgCl2, 4 mM ATP, 0.9 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 0.3 mM NADH, 2.5 U pyruvate kinase, 3.5 U lactate dehydrogenase, 10 U adenylate kinase (Sigma M3003, prepared according to manufacturer’s protocol), 100 mM buffered hydroxylamine, and the tested substrates in DMSO (final volume 2.5%). The kinetic assay was initiated by the addition of an enzyme and run at 22 °C. No activity was detected in the assay when initiating with PKAL-1(K488A). GraphPad Prism was used to calculate the apparent kinetic constants.

In summary,
bacteria were resuspended in 600 μL of 80 °C absolute ethanol
and incubated in an 80 °C water bath for 10 min. Subsequently,
1.4 mL of buffer solution (composed of 2.5 mL of 1 M Tris, 5 mL of
100 mM MgSO4, 1 mL of 100 mM EDTA, 41.5 mL of ddH2O, and 300 μL of 5 M NaOH) was added, followed by centrifugation
at 12,000 rpm for 2 min. The resulting supernatant was utilized for
the determination of adenine nucleotide through a luciferin–luciferase
bioluminescence assay. To measure ATP, a 10 μL reaction buffer
was added, consisting of 3.75 mL of 1 M Tris, 1.25 mL of 200 mM MgCl2, 6.25 mL of 100 mM KCl, and 37.5 mL of ddH2O,
and adjusted to a pH of 7.75. No ATP-generating enzyme was included
in this buffer. To measure ADP, a reaction buffer containing pyruvate
kinase (Sigma-Aldrich) and phosphoenolpyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich) was
added. To measure AMP, a reaction buffer containing pyruvate kinase,
phosphoenolpyruvate, and adenylate kinase (Sigma-Aldrich) was added.
The quantity of ADP was determined by subtracting the ATP value from
the combined ATP + ADP value, while the quantity of AMP was computed
based on the disparity between the ATP + ADP + AMP content and the
ATP + ADP content.

Control (transfected with scrambled sgRNA) and TcLetm1-KD epimastigotes were harvested and washed once with buffer A (116 mM NaCl, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgSO4 and 50 mM HEPES at pH 7.0). After washing, 1 × 108 cells per treatment were centrifuged and resuspended in 100 μl of buffer A, and then lysed on ice for 30 min by addition of 150 μl of 0.5 M HClO4. The lysates were neutralized (pH 6.5) by addition of 60 μl of 0.72 M KOH/0.6 M KHCO3. Samples were centrifuged at 1000 × g for 5 min and the supernatant was separated for adenine nucleotide determination. ATP, and ADP in extracted samples were quantified by a luciferin–luciferase bioluminescence assay in a plate reader using an ATP Determination Kit according to manufacturer’s instructions, with adenylate kinase and/or nucleoside-diphosphate kinase (NDK; Sigma). To determine the amount of adenine nucleotides, three measurements were taken of two different reactions for each sample by end point determination of the ATP concentration: one reaction without addition of any ATP-generating enzyme (for ATP), and a second reaction adding NDK (for ATP + ADP). The amount of ADP was obtained by subtracting the ATP from the (ATP + ADP) value.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
