ABSTRACT
The trifunctional enzyme bisphosphoglyceromutase (or diphosphoglycerate mutase) (EC 2.7.5.4) was purified from human red cells and injected into two chickens. Specific anti-bisphosphoglyceromutase antibodies were produced that displayed a single precipitation line on Ouchterlony plates and on immunoelectrophoresis. No cross-reaction of these antibodies was detected with phosphoglyceromutase, the common glycolytic enzyme. Immunoneutralization of bisphosphoglyceromutase and of its two other activities, i.e., bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase and phosphoglyceromutase, was observed for a purified preparation. The anti-bisphosphoglyceromutase antibody reacts with the inactive enzyme present in the hemolysate of a mutant human subject. It also binds bisphosphoglyceromutase inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide, a strong alkylating agent of SH groups. Active bisphosphoglyceromutase is stable at 55 degrees C, whereas the inactive forms of the mutant and of the alkylated hemolysates are thermolabile. These forms can be protected against thermal precipitation by 4 mM 2,3-diphosphoglycerate and 4 mM 3-phosphoglycerate. These findings afford evidence that the binding of the substrates on the bisphosphoglyceromutase molecule is not prevented by alkylation nor by the mutation of the hereditary inactive enzyme.
