  Regulation of aconitate hydratase activity from rat kidney cortex by bicarbonate.

  Stepiński J, Angielski S.

  Acta Biochim Pol. 1976;23(2-3):203-15.

  1. The increase in pH value and bicarbonate concentration stimulated citrate synthesis from pyruvate and malate, inhibiting simultaneously conversion of isocitrate to citrate. 2. Bicarbonate inhibited competitively the activity of aconitate hydratase, probably binding with the two active sites of the enzyme. The Ki values for the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial enzyme were, respectively, 27 and 38 mM. The pH optimum for both forms of the enzyme in Tris-HCl buffer was in the range 7.8-8.6, and in bicarbonate buffer varied from 7.2 to 8.0, depending on the form of the enzyme and the substrate used. 3. Only free, completely dissociated citrate anion acts as a substrate for aconitate hydratase. 4. The role of aconitate hydratase as a factor controlling the rate of citrate metabolism in kidney in metabolic alkalosis is discussed.
