Abstract Aspartate carbamoyltransferase ATCase is a large dodecameric enzyme with six active sites that exhibits allostery: its catalytic rate is modulated by the binding of various substrates at distal points from the active sites.
Introduction Much has been written about allostery, the process through which binding of a molecule distal to the active site of a protein causes an attenuation or an enhancement in the catalytic rate of that protein 1 , 2 , 3. Figure 1. Full size image. Construction of the atomistic protein graph The initial step in the method is the conversion of the 3-dimensional coordinates of the atoms of the protein from the PDB file to a weighted graph ; that is, a collection of nodes here representing the atoms and edges bonds, interactions that link them.
Bond-to-bond propensity The element M ji describes how a perturbation at bond i is transmitted to bond j via a propagation that includes the entire graph structure Figure 2.

The top 40 residues by quantile score are listed and both Arg56 and Arg65 appear six times each. These residues sit at the C1—C2 interface within the catalytic subunits.
Figure 7. Also, why is it important that cells regulate the enzyme aspartate Carbamoyltransferase? ATP is used as a substrate by aspartate carbamoyltransferase.
Cells must tightly regulate every enzyme in a metabolic pathway. ATCase is a textbook example of a molecule under allosteric regulation in which the binding of substrate to one active site in a molecule increases the likelihood that the enzyme will bind more substrate, a phenomena called cooperativity.
Allosteric enzymes are enzymes that change their conformational ensemble upon binding of an effector allosteric modulator which results in an apparent change in binding affinity at a different ligand binding site. The site to which the effector binds is termed the allosteric site. ATP is an allosteric activator of aspartate transcarbamoylase because it stabilizes the R state, making it easier for substrate to bind. As a result, the curve is shifted to the left, as shown in blue.
How are the allosteric properties of ATCase and hemoglobin similar? Both are regulated by feedback inhibition. The allostery of both proteins involves regulation by competitive inhibitors.
The quaternary structure of both proteins is altered by binding small molecules. How are enzymes regulated quizlet? Some enzymes are controlled by allosteric regulation. An important mechanism by which cells regulate their metabolic pathways by activating or inhibiting the activity of enzymes within said pathway. The catalytic trimers have full catalytic activity and show no cooperative behavior. The role of the regulatory subunits of ATCase is to mediate heterotropic effects, analogous to the Bohr effect or that of 2,3-BPG in hemoglobin.
Cytidine triphosphate CTP , which is an end product of the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway, has a negative allosteric effect on ATCase activity, while adenosine triphosphate, ATP, has a positive allosteric effect.
The negative allosteric effect of CTP is an example of feedback inhibition, a typical mechanism by which biosynthetic pathways are regulated. This dramatically reduces the interactions between c chains in different opposing trimer.
The regulatory chains also rotate, accommodating the larger distance between the catalytic trimers. The individual c chains within the catalytic trimer also undergo a structural transition. The closure of the active site is stabilized by interdomain bridging interactions. In both cases, the catalytic trimers are shown in cyan, and the regulatory dimers are colored magenta.
Note that the expansion of the PALA-bound structure results in the nearly complete separation of catalytic trimers, as opposed to the structure on the left in which there are extensive contacts between the trimers.
