Abstract:
1. Aldolases were isolated from the ordinary muscle of red sea bream Pagrus major, Pacific mackerel Scomber japonicus, and carp Cyprinus carpio by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and CM-Sepharose CL-6B columns, and examined for enzymatic properties. 2. The aldolases showed the highest activity in a pH range from 6.8-7.8 Km values for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate ranged from 0.025-0.10 mM. 3. Irrespective of fish species, aldolase activity was inhibited by ATP, ADP, and AMP. ATP showed the strongest inhibition and was competitive with fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. 4. The aldolases did not require divalent metal ions for activation and were completely inhibited at 0.1 mM Cu2+. 5. Thermal inactivation of the enzymes was of the first-order reaction. Red sea bream, Pacific mackerel and carp enzymes lost the activity by 50% when incubated at 50 degrees C for 8, 14 and 23 min, respectively.

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,...
