1. A purification procedure for the dimeric arginine kinase of the sea cucumber Holothuria forskali is described. 2. The enzyme has a mean molecular weight of 77250 and is composed of two equal, dissociable subunits. 3. It also shows co-operativity between substrate binding at one catalytic site to a much greater extent than the nomomeric lobster arginine kinase for which such co-operativity could not be detected unambiguously. The constants for substrate binding are reported assuming that the enzyme follows rapid-equilibrium random kinetics. From a comparison with other species, the development of co-operativity between the nucleotide- and guanidine-binding sites on one subunit is suggested to have occurred more than once in the evolution of the phosphagen kinases and is not dependent on subunit aggregation. 4. Both enzymes show similar pH profiles for thermal inactivation at 22 degrees C and have very similar stabilities. Above 40 degrees C the dimeric enzyme is much more stable than the monomer. Rate constants for heat inactivation and Arrhenius activation energies are reported. 5. The dimeric enzyme is also more stable to urea inactivation. Substrates and argininic acid all improve the stability of both enzymes. The effects of individual substrates are more distincitive with the dimeric enzymes and increase its stability to an extent that makes it about as stable as dogfish creatine kinase. In the physiological range dimerization does not seem to confer any particular advantage with respect to stability over the monomer form.
