    Abstract:
    Disulfide reductase (DSR) of mice liver supernatant is kinetically demonstrated as associating-dissociating oligomeric protein with positive homotropic cooperativity for the substrate. Cyclic 3',5'-AMP (10(-11)--10(-5) M) activates DSR and increases V, but does not change either [S]0,5, nor nH and does not shift the plot of specific activity versus the enzyme concentration. ATP, GTP, UTP, CTP, protamine, histone, Mg2+, Ca2+, EDTA (but not adenosine, 5'-AMP, 2'3'-AMP, ADP beef serum albumin) activated DSR. The effects of different modifiers are not summed up. Preincubation is essential for the action of the majority of the activators. Heating for 8 minutes at 55 degrees C desensitized completely DSR to all the modifiers without changing its catalytic activity, [S]0,5 and nH values. Possible mechanisms of activation of DSR, especially the involvement of protein kinase, are discussed.
