RESUMO
Low concentrations of ADP are shown to increase the rate of phosphoenzyme formation of E. coli succinyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase (SCS) without altering the fraction of phosphorylated enzyme. This is true when either ATP or succinyl-CoA and Pi are used to phosphorylate the enzyme. The stimulatory effect of ADP is not altered by sample dilution, is retained upon partial purification of the enzyme, and reflects the binding of ADP to a site other than the catalytic site. GDP also alters the phosphorylation of the E. coli SCS but does so primarily by enhancing the level of the phosphoenzyme and only when ATP is used as the phosphate donor. GDP appears to function by neutralizing the action of a specific inhibitory protein. This inhibitor of SCS allows for interconversion of succinate and succinyl-CoA in a manner dissociated from changes in ATP-ADP metabolism. These previously unidentified and varied mechanisms by which SCS is regulated focus attention on this enzyme as an important control point in determining the cell's potential to meet its metabolic demands.
