Phenyl valerate (PV) is a neutral substrate used to measure the activity of neuropathy target esterase (NTE) and has been shown to be hydrolyzed by both butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Kinetic studies revealed that the interaction between PV and AChE does not follow the classic competition model, and it was found that acetylthiocholine (AtCh) can enhance PVase activity at low concentrations but inhibit it at high concentrations. This suggests that products released at the active site play a role in the hydrolysis reactions of different substrates.
Phenyl valerate (PV) is a neutral substrate for measuring the PVase activity of neuropathy target esterase (NTE), a key molecular event of organophosphorus-induced delayed neuropathy. This substrate has been used to discriminate and identify other proteins with esterase activity and potential targets of organophosphorus (OP) binding. A protein with PVase activity in chicken (model for delayed neurotoxicity) was identified as butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Further studies in human BChE suggest that other sites might be involved in PVase activity. From the theoretical docking analysis, other more favorable sites for binding PV related to the Asn289 residue located far from the catalytic site (PVsite) were deduced.In this paper, we demonstrate that acetylcholinesterase is also able to hydrolyze PV. Robust kinetic studies of interactions between substrates PV and acetylthiocholine (AtCh) were performed. The kinetics did not fit the classic competition models among substrates. While PV interacts as a competitive inhibitor in AChE activity, AtCh at low concentrations enhances PVase activity and inhibits this activity at high concentrations. Kinetic behavior suggests that the potentiation effect is caused by thiocholine released at the active site, where AtCh could act as a Trojan Horse. We conclude that the products released at the active site could play an important role in the hydrolysis reactions of different substrates in biological systems.
