Substrate Channeling via a Transient Protein-Protein Complex: The case of D-Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase and L-Lactate Dehydrogenase

Molecular dynamics studies showed that LDH and GAPDH tetramers can form a complex which can breakdown when the enzymes are saturated with NADH molecules. The interaction sites are conserved between LDH isozymes from heart and muscle cells, and between GAPDH molecules from rabbit and yeast cells. Positive electric fields between the NAD(H) binding sites showed that NAD(H) channeling within LDH-GAPDH complex can be an extension of NAD(H) channeling between the adjacent subunits within LDH and GAPDH tetramers. Analytical ultracentrifugation and enzyme kinetics studies indicated that LDH and GAPDH molecules can form a transient channeling complex. The transient complex can support the channeled and the diffusive paths in parallel, the relative contribution from each path depends on the off-rates for (GAPDH-NADH)-LDH complex and GAPDH-NADH complex. Negative cooperativity in NADH binding to different subunits in GAPDH tetramers can provide allosteric regulation of NADH channeling from GAPDH to LDH.
