Comparison of kinetic parameters for transport of 2-OG and GSH by bacterially expressed, purified, and reconstituted OGC-WT and OGC-C221,224S

Uptake rates of 2-OG and GSH for the WT and double-cysteine mutant carriers were derived from Eadie-Hofstee plots of 1-min uptake rates derived from data shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

OGC-WT OGC-C221,224S
2-OG Km (mM) 0.18 ± 0.03 2.45 ± 0.42
Vmax (nmol/min/mg/protein) 475 ± 37 143 ± 22
Vmax/Km 2639 58.4
GSH Km (mM) 1.25 ± 0.15 1.43 ± 0.22
Vmax (nmol/min/mg/protein) 375 ± 42 70.2 ± 10.5
Vmax/Km 300 49.1
