3.5.1.98 Mg2+ Zn2+, Mg2+, or Mn2+ is required. Zn2+ is the most efficient 677978 3.5.1.98 Mn2+ Zn2+, Mg2+, or Mn2+ is required. Zn2+ is the most efficient 677978 3.5.1.98 Zn2+ Zn2+, Mg2+, or Mn2+ is required. Zn2+ is the most efficient 677978 3.5.1.98 Co2+ ratio of kcat to KM value in presence of metal ion in decreasing order: Co(II), Fe(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) 678192 3.5.1.98 Fe2+ ratio of kcat to KM value in presence of metal ion in decreasing order: Co(II), Fe(II), Zn(II), Ni(II). Fe(II) bound to enzyme is readily oxidized to Fe(III) upon exposure to oxygen 678192 3.5.1.98 additional information the identity of the catalytic metal ion influences both the Michaelis-Menten constant and the affinity of inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, with Fe(II) and Co(II) giving KM values 5fold lower than that of Zn(II). Apo-enzyme has a low residual level of activity 678192 3.5.1.98 Ni2+ ratio of kcat to KM value in presence of metal ion in decreasing order: Co(II), Fe(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) 678192 3.5.1.98 Zn2+ ratio of kcat to KM value in presence of metal ion in decreasing order: Co(II), Fe(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) 678192 3.5.1.98 Zinc enzyme active site consists of a tubular pocket, a zinc-binding site and two D-H charge-relay systems 682087 3.5.1.98 K+ presence of two potassium ions in the structure of isoform HDAC8, one of which interacts with the key catalytic residues. Direct role of potassium in fold stabilization 682501
