  1. Abstract The catalytic performance of enzymes is largely perceived to be a property of the enzyme itself, altered by environmental conditions, such as temperature and pH. However, the maximal catalytic rates of enzymes differ up to 100-fold between in vivo and in vitro measurements, suggesting that a complex chemical system has additional effects on catalytic performance. In this work, we show that the initial rate of an enzyme can increase 3-fold due to the presence of a second enzyme, which uses the product of the first enzyme as its substrate. This enhancement may originate in an allosteric effect or result from binding competition for the product molecule by the second enzyme.

  2. Abstract Elucidating kinase–substrate relationships is pivotal for deciphering cellular signaling mechanisms, yet it remains challenging due to the complexity of kinase networks. Herein, we report the development of a versatile DNA-based kinase assay platform for high-throughput profiling of plant protein kinase activities and substrate preferences. Our approach employs DNA-linked peptide substrates, facilitating quantitative and specific kinase activity detection through next-generation DNA sequencing. Leveraging DNA barcodes as quantitative readouts, our approach establishes a high-throughput, sensitive, and specific platform for dissecting kinase–substrate networks in plants, representing a powerful tool for elucidating signaling mechanisms in plants.
