Purification and kinetic properties of ox brain histamine N-methyltransferase.
Gitomer W.L., Tipton K.F.
Histamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.8) was purified 1100-fold from ox brain. The native enzyme has an Mr of 34800 +/-2400 as measured by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme is highly specific for histamine. It does not methylate noradrenaline, adrenaline, DL-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid ... >> More
Histamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.8) was purified 1100-fold from ox brain. The native enzyme has an Mr of 34800 +/-2400 as measured by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme is highly specific for histamine. It does not methylate noradrenaline, adrenaline, DL-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-hydroxytyramine or imidazole-4-acetic acid. Unlike the enzyme from rat and mouse brain, ox brain histamine N-methyltransferase did not exhibit substrate inhibition by histamine. Initial rate and product inhibition studies were consistent with an ordered steady-state mechanism with S-adenosylmethionine being the first substrate to bind to the enzyme and N-methylhistamine being the first product to dissociate. << Less

The substrate kinetic properties of histamine methyltransferase from human skin were studied at limiting concentrations of both histamine and S-adenosylmethionine. Substrate inhibition by histamine was observed at concentrations above 10 microM. Primary plots showed evidence of a sequential reaction mechanism. The Michaelis constants were derived from secondary plots of slopes from the primary plots ([S]/v versus [S]) versus reciprocal of the second substrate concentration. The mean Km values for histamine and S-adenosylmethionine were 4.2 and 1.8 microM respectively. Histamine in concentrations of 25-100 microM inhibited enzyme activity uncompetitively with respect to S-adenosylmethionine. No substrate inhibition was observed with S-adenosylmethionine. To elucidate the reaction mechanism further, inhibition by the two products, S-adenosylhomocysteine and 1-methylhistamine, was studied. S-Adenosylhomocysteine inhibited non-competitively with respect to histamine and competitively with respect to S-adenosylmethionine. 1-Methylhistamine inhibited non-competitively with respect to histamine and to S-adenosylmethionine. These results are interpreted as providing evidence for an ordered sequential Bi Bi reaction mechanism, with the methyl-group donor S-adenosylmethionine as the first substrate that adds to the enzyme and histamine as the second substrate. 1-Methylhistamine is the first product to leave the enzyme and S-adenosylhomocysteine is the second. The results are discussed in terms of the possible role that this enzyme could play in the modulation of histamine-mediated reactions in skin. << Less
