An improved method for the purification of the apoenzyme (AB complex) of glycerol dehydratase fromAerobacter aerogenesis presented. One hundredfold purification Was achieved. This purification was possible due to stabilization of the AB complex by glycerol. Using chromatography on Sephadex G-200, the highest degree of association of AB complex was found in glycine buffer in the presence of glycerol.Potassium ions, in contrast to glycerol, seem to weaken the forces which bind subunits A and B together. This may be the action of potassium necessary for the performance of glycerol dehydratase activity, since potassium is required for holoenzyme activity.From kinetic studies it appears that the enzyme exhibits homotrophic effects with regard to glycerol binding sites, which can he extended from positive (in the presence of glycine buffer) to negative (in the presence of ethanolamine buffer) cooperativity. The high cooperativity between glycerol binding sites on the enzyme, in glycine buffer, can be abolished by the addition of phosphate. By decreasing the value of the Hill coefficient and increasing theVof the enzymatic reaction, phosphate seems to act as an allosteric activator.
