[Interaction of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase from the rat liver with alkylating amides of ATP and ADP].

: The interaction of 4-(N-chloroethyl-N-methylamino)-benzyl-gamma-amide ATP (I) and the corresponding beta-amide of ADP (II) with rat liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase was studied. Both analogs were shown to cause affinity modification of the enzyme. ATP and GoAS Ac protected the enzyme against inactivation. HCO3- increased the rate of carboxylase inactivation by analogs I and II (2.5- and 1.5-fold, respectively). The alkylating amides did not influence the rate of the bicarbonate-dependent [14C]-ADP-ATP exchange and inhibited the enzyme-catalyzed reaction of [14C]-CoAs Ac----CoAS Mal exchange, which testifies to the localization of the modified group in the CoAS Ac-binding site of the enzyme active center. Based on the affinity modification and analog size, it was found that the distance between the ATP- and CoAS Ac-binding sites of the enzyme active center can vary from 0.8 to 1.2 nm.
