Many aspects of the mechanism of the pyruvate kinase reaction have been elucidated (l), but previous investigations have not been focused on the roles of the divalent (2) and monovalent (3) cations required for the reaction. With respect to the divalent cation, it has not been ascertained whether the enzyme functions as a “free” enzyme catalyzing the reaction of a metal-substrate complex or vice versa. Reynard, Hass, Jacobsen, and Boyer (4) have suggested that adenine nucleotides can participate in the reaction as their magnesium salts on the basis of two kinetic observations: (a) magnesium in excess of nucleotides does not inhibit the pyruvate kinase reaction and (5) magnesium has a small effect on the K;, of ADP (4, 5). The latter finding suggests that the converse probably holds; namely, that ADP does not significantly affect the K, of magnesium. Such behavior would result from independent binding by the enzyme of the divalent cation and the nucleotide (6). It is clear, therefore, that kinetic studies alone generally provide insufficient evidence to decide between the two possible active species, metal enzyme or metal substrate (7). The present work was undertaken to elucidate the role of the divalent cation in the pyruvate kinase reaction. In addition to magnesium, other divalent cations activate pyruvate kinase, producing lower observed velocit.ies. Thus, Solvonuk and Collier (8), comparing 5 mM levels of the divalent cations, found the following order of velocities. Magnesium was greater than manganese which was greater than cobalt; zinc showed no activity. Calcium has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of pyruvate kinase (9). The paramagnetic manganous ion was chosen as activator in this study because the complexes of this ion may be studied by magnetic resonance methods (lo-12), permitting a comparison of the dissociation constants obtained by these equilibrium methods with kinetic constants. The first paper of this series is a study of the binary complex between the enzyme and Mn2*. A subsequent paper will describe the properties of the ternary complexes between the enzyme, manganese, and substrates.
