Comparative studies on muscle AMP-deaminase--II. Regulation by monovalent cations, ATP and orthophosphate of the enzyme from hen, frog and pikeperch muscle.

1. Michaelis constants, maximum velocity and pH-dependence of the reaction catalysed by homogeneous AMP-deaminase preparations from hen, frog and pikeperch skeletal muscle were compared, as well as the influence of monovalent cations, ATP and inorganic phosphate. 2. ATP was found to activate the enzymes in the absence of K+ and at optimum (150 mM) KCl concentration. 3. Absolute dependence on potassium ions and considerable dependence of Km and Vmax on the kind of monovalent cation present in the medium were found for pikeperch enzyme.

Comparative studies on muscle AMP-deaminase--I. Purification, molecular weight, subunit structure and metal content of the enzymes from rat, rabbit, hen, frog and pikeperch.

1. AMP-deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6) from skeletal muscle of frog and pikeperch was purified to homogeneity and compared with the homogeneous enzymes purified from rat, rabbit and hen skeletal muscle. 2. Their molecular weight was close to 280,000, every enzyme consisted of four identical subunits of molecular weight about 70,000. 3. All enzymes were found to contain about two atoms of zinc per molecule. 4. Minor differences of u.v.-absorption spectra between amphibian and fish muscle enzyme as compared with mammalian and bird muscle enzyme were found.
