| Abstract | Competing substrate kinetic analysis of human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from the time-course of enzyme-catalyzed substrate hydrolysis, using spectrophotometric assays is described. This study is based on the use of a chromogenic reporter "visible" substrate (substrate A), whose complete hydrolysis time course is retarded by a competing "invisible" substrate (substrate B). For BChE, four visible substrates were used, two thiocholine esters, benzoylthiocholine and butyrylthiocholine, and two aryl-acylamides, o-nitro trifluoro acetaminide and 3-(acetamido)-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium. Three different competing invisible substrates were used, phenyl acetate, acetylcholine and butyrylcholine. For AChE, two visible substrates were used, acetythiocholine and 3-(acetamido)-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium. For AChE, acetylcholine was competing with visible substrates. The ratio (R) of bimolecular rate constants, kcat/Km, for all couples of substrates, invisible/visible (B/A) covered all possible limit situations, R << 1, R ~1 and R >> 1. The kinetic approach, based on the method developed by Golicnik and Masson allowed determination of binding and catalytic parameters of cholinesterases for both visible and invisible substrates. This analysis was applied to michaelian and non-michaelian catalytic behaviors (activation and inhibition by excess substrate). Reevaluation of catalytic parameters obtained for acetylcholine and butyrylcholine more than 50 years ago was made. The method is fast, reliable, and particularly suitable for poorly soluble substrates and for substrates B when no direct spectrophotometric assays exist. Moreover, replacing substrate B by a reversible inhibitor, mechanism of cholinesterase inhibition was possible to study. It is therefore, useful for screening libraries of new substrates and inhibitors, and/or screening of new cholinesterase mutants. This method can be applied to any other enzymes. | |
