A method is described for the isolation and purification of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from pig liver. The molecular weight is estimated at 83,000 and that of the subunits is 42,000 as determined by gel electrophoresis. The pH maximum is 8.5 in 50 mM glycine/NaOH buffer and from 7.5 to 10 in 50 mM phosphate buffer at 30 degrees. Magnesium ion is not required for activity and acts as an inhibitor at concentrations above 20 mM. A cellular fractionation study indicates that this enzyme is located almost entirely within the soluble portion of the cytoplasm. Kinetic studies have been done in 50 mM glycine buffer, pH 8.5, at 30 degrees. The data are consistent with a sequential mechanism in which NADP+ is added first, followed by 6-phosphogluconate, and the products are released in the order, CO2, ribulose 5-phosphate, and NADPH. The Michaelis constant is 13.5 muM for 6-phosphogluconate. Dissociation constants are 4.8 muM for NADP+ and 5.1 muM for NADPH.
