Abstract	The inhibition of Escherichia coli d-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase by l-serine is positively cooperative with a Hill coefficient of approximately 2, whereas the binding of the inhibitor, l-serine, to the apoenzyme displays positive cooperativity in the binding of the first two serine molecules and negative cooperativity in the binding of the last two serine molecules. An earlier report demonstrated that the presence of phosphate appeared to lessen the degree of both the positive and negative cooperativity, but the cause of this effect was unknown. This study demonstrates that the presence of intrinsically bound NADH was responsible to a substantial degree for this effect. In addition, this study also provides evidence for negative cooperativity in NADH binding and for at least two NADH-induced conformational forms of the enzyme that bind the inhibitor in the physiological range. Successive binding of NADH to the enzyme resulted in an increase in the affinity for the first inhibitor ligand bound and a lessening of both the positive and negative cooperativity of inhibitor binding as compared with that seen in the absence of NADH. This effect was specific for NADH and was not observed in the presence of NAD+ or the substrate alpha-ketoglutarate. Conversely, the binding of l-serine did not have a significant effect on the stoichiometry of NADH binding, consistent with it being a V-type allosteric system. Thus, cofactor-related conditions were found in equilibrium binding experiments that significantly altered the cooperativity of inhibitor binding. Since the result of inhibitor binding is a reduction in the catalytic activity, the binding of inhibitor to these NADH-induced conformers must also induce additional conformations that lead to differential inhibition of catalytic activity.
