Bestatin inhibits covalent coupling of [3H]LTA4 to human leukocyte LTA4 hydrolase
1Department of Pharmacology, Merck Frosst Centre for Therapeutic Research, Pointe Claire-Dorval, Quebec, Canada.
Abstract:
The covalent coupling of [3H]LTA4 to human leukocyte LTA4 hydrolase is inhibited in a concentration-dependent fashion by pre-incubation with bestatin. This inhibition correlated with the concentration-dependent inhibition by bestatin of LTB4 and LTB5 synthesis by LTA4 hydrolase. Epibestatin, a diastereomer of bestatin, neither inhibited LTB4 or LTB5 production by LTA4 hydrolase nor prevented the covalent coupling of [3H]LTA4 to the enzyme. In contrast, captopril inhibited both LTB4 synthesis by LTA4 hydrolase and covalent coupling of [3H]LTA4 to the enzyme.

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
