Escherichia coli uridine phosphorylase is destabilized in the presence of ATP. ATP alters protein folding and function of the enzyme. ATP specifically accelerates the unfolding rate of uridine phosphorylase with no observable effects on the refolding process, ATP binding mechanism analysis. Purified UPase remains folded following treatment with 0 to about 4 M urea, and unfolding occurred from 4 to 6 M urea in the absence of ATP. Partially unfolded intermediate states of UPase accumulate in the presence of ATP. ATP interacts with a transition state close to the folded state.
repeated cycles of freezing and thawing inactivate the enzyme if phosphate is absent
-
the enzyme is quite labile during the course of purification, dithiothreitol and glycerol are required for stability
