Crude cytosolic fraction from rat liver was examined for proteins that may be involved in regulation of microsomal stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity. Gel filtration revealed the presence of several components that either stimulate or inhibit this enzyme. In addition, other components bind the acyl-CoA substrate, thus affecting observed activities in vitro. A protein that stimulates stearoyl-CoA desaturase but does not bind substrate was purified approx. 1100-fold. The purified protein had no visible absorption spectrum and an approximate mol.wt. of 26500. Maximal stimulation of desaturase activity occurred with less than 2 micrometer purified protein. The protein was heat-labile and exhibited neither catalase nor glutathione peroxidase activity. Addition of the cytosolic protein produced no effect on the desaturase reaction stoicheiometry; the proportions O2 consumed/NADH oxidized/stearoyl-CoA desaturated remained 1:1:1. Because the Km' for stearoyl-CoA was also unchanged by addition of the cytosolic protein, no change in substrate affinity was suggested. Furthermore addition of the cytosolic protein also produced no effect on desaturase inhibition by oleoyl-CoA, which suggested that the protein does not simply relieve apparent product inhibition. These results indicate that, in analogy to other cytosolic proteins that stimulate microsomal oxidase activities, the protein may have a regulatory function, perhaps related to activity modulation via organization of the multienzymic desaturase in the membrane.

Phosphorylating submitochondrial particles from beef heart (ETPH) prepared here contained about 2.4 nmol of ATP and 1.9 nmol of ADP/mg of protein after repeated washing of the particles. Essentially all of the "tightly bound " ATP and ADP was removed by trypsin treatment. The trypsin-treated ETPH had increased ATPase activity, undiminished NADH oxidase and succinate oxidase activity, but energy-coupling activity (ATP-driven reversed electron transfer) was abolished. Removal of half the ATP and ADP occurred at low levels of trypsin and was associated with loss of half of the coupling activity. Gel filtration of ETPH in high ionic strength buffer also removed ADP and ATP from the particles, resulting in loss of energy-coupling activity, while ATPase activity was increased. The results support the contention that the tightly bound ADP is essential in energy coupling in mitochondria. Tightly bound ATP may also play an essential role.

A fraction greatly enriched in microsomes was prepared from chick embryo limb bone tissue homogenates by differential centrifugation in a high density solution of Metrizamide. This fraction was used to determine the submicrosomal localization of prolyl hydroxylase. At a low concentration (0.05%) of the non-ionic detergents Triton X-100 and Brij-35, 90 to 93% of prolyl hydroxylase activity was released from microsomes. Concentrations of Triton X-100 greater than 0.1% were required to solubilize the intrinsic membrane enzyme NADH-ferricyanide reductase and to release membrane-bound ribosomes, while Brij-35 did not extensively solubilize membrane components even at concentrations up to 0.4%. In addition, prolyl hydroxylase activity which could subsequently be released from microsomes by Brij-35 was relatively resistant to trypsin proteolysis at concentrations which removed more than 50% of the ribosomes and approximately 40% of the protein from microsomes. These results suggest that 90 to 93% of prolyl hydroxylase activity in connective tissue is located within the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. Gel filtration of prolyl hydroxylase released from microsomes or found in the soluble fraction of limb bone homogenates revealed two peaks of activity corresponding to molecular weights of 230,000 and 450,000 to 500,000. The latter is twice the value reported for purified chick embryo prolyl hydroxylase. A fraction of the total prolyl hydroxylase activity (generally 20 to 35%) in microsome preparations could be measured in the absence of detergent, although the microsomal membrane should be impermeable to the large unhydroxylated collagen chains used as substrate. On the basis of experimental data, it was concluded that detergent-independent activity was most likely due to damaged microsomal membranes and that this damage was sufficient to allow substrate and trypsin to enter the cisternae but not to allow prolyl hydroxylase to be released.

1. Incubation of NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) with chymotrypsin caused loss of rotenone-sensitive ubiquinone-1 reduction and an increase in rotenone-insensitive ubiquinone reduction. 2. Within the same time-course, NADH-K(3)Fe(CN)(6) oxidoreductase activity was unaffected. 3. Mixing of chymotrypsin-treated Complex I with Complex III did not give rise to NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase activity. 4. Gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate revealed selective degradation of several constituent polypeptides by chymotrypsin. 5. With higher chymotrypsin concentrations and longer incubation times, a decrease in NADH-K(3)Fe(CN)(6) oxidoreductase was observed. The kinetics of this decrease correlated with solubilization of the low-molecular-weight type-II NADH dehydrogenase (subunit mol.wts. 53000 and 27000) and with degradation of a polypeptide of mol.wt. 30000. 6. Phospholipid-depleted Complex I was more rapidly degraded by chymotrypsin. Specifically, a subunit of mol.wt. 75000, resistant to chymotrypsin in untreated Complex I, was degraded in phospholipid-depleted Complex I. In addition, the 30000-mol.wt. polypeptide was also more rapidly digested, correlating with an increased rate of transformation to type II NADH dehydrogenase.

1. Lysine residues of porcine H4 lactate dehydrogenase (L-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase EC 1.1.1.27) were modified with methyl-epsilon-(N-2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminocaproimidate - HCl. With increasing incorporation of the reagent a linear decrease of enzymatic activity was noticed. No essential lysyl group with an extraordinary reactivity was modified. 2. The active forms of the modified enzyme with different incorporation values were separated from denatured material by fractional precipitation and gel chromatography. An epsilon-(N-2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminocaproamidinate lactate dehydrogenase was obtained with an average incorporation of 38 groups per tetramer and a residual activity of 42%. This material proved to be homogenous in cellulose electrophoresis. 3. The epsilon-(N-2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminocaproamidinate lactate dehydrogenase is soluble only in glycine buffer at pH 8 and can be stabilized as ternary complex with NAD+ and sodium sulfite. Gel chromatography and ORD measurements show no strong conformational change. 4. epsilon-(N-2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminocaproamidinate lactate dehydrogenase has similar Km values for pyruvate, NADH, lactate and NAD+ as the native enzyme, and shows a lower thermostability due to a diminished stabilization by the hydrate layer on the surface.

A new soluble hemoprotein, designated as H-450, has been purified from pig liver. The absolute absorption spectrum of H-450 shows maxima at 550 and 428 nm. The dithionite-reduced H-450 has absorption peaks at 572, 540, and 450 nm; the unique Soret band at 450 nm is the basis for our tentative designation of this new hemoprotein as H-450 (hemoprotein 450). The spectrum of dithionite-reduced H-450 at 77 K gives two alpha peaks (571 and 566 nm), three beta peaks (546, 537, and 529 nm), and a Soret band at 449 nm. The prosthetic group of H-450 has been identified as protoheme IX. Gel electrophoresis experiments show that H-450 is composed of two nonidentical subunits, alpha and beta (mol wts = 61 000 and 45 000). H-450 contains 1 mol of heme/alphabeta dimer of 106 000 molecular weight. Preliminary sedimentation equilibrium experiments suggest a minimum molecular weight of 218 000 for the native protein. This corresponds to a tetramer, alpha2beta2 containing two heme groups. H-450 is not reduced by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), NADH phosphate, ascorbate, or ferrocyanide. Neither reduced nor oxidized H-450 binds CO, 1 mM cyahide, or 1 mM azide. Dithionite-reduced H-450 is autoxidizable. The molar extinction coefficient of native H-450 is 261 X 103 at 280 nm and 263 X 103 at 428 nm. The purification procedure involves homogenization, high-speed centrifugation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, diethylaminoethylcellulose chromatography, density gradient centrifugation, a calcium phosphate gel step, and a second density gradient centrifugation. The procedure yeilds approximately 2 mg of purified protein from 750 g of pig liver.

The ethanol-extracted respiratory chain-linked NADH dehydrogenase of Acholeplasma laidlawii has been purified 25-35-fold. This purification involved delipidation of the ethanol-extracted minute non-sedimentable membrane fragments by detergent treatment and gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-200. Sodium deoxycholate-sucrose density gradient centrifugation was followed by dialysis of the active NADH dehydrogenase fractions which caused flocculation of 60% of the membrane proteins while the NADH dehydrogenase remained suspended. Poylacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified NADH dehydrogenase gave one major and two minor bands after staining with Coomassie Blue. The purified enzyme gave straight line kinetics in Lineweaver-Burk plots and a Km = 0.510 mM and V = 0.236 mumol/min. Fatty acid supplementation of A. laidlawii membranes had negligible effect on the membrane-bound or ethanol-extracted dehydrogenase, but substantiated the values of the Km and V. Purification, however, altered the constants by 2-4-fold, suggesting that alteration of the microenvironment or fragmentation of the dehydrogenase was significant. The purified dehydrogenase was very susceptible to a rapid inhibition was much slower (90 min) and less complete. Consideration of published purification procedures of NADH dehydrogenase strongly suggested that the purified A. laidlawii respiratory chian-linked NADH dehydrogenase was over 90% pure and certainly one of the most purified respiratory chain-linked bacterial NADH dehydrogenases.

1. A rat liver cytosol enzyme, tentatively named CBA reductase, catalyses the conversion of 2-carboxybenzaldehyde (CBA) to 2-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid in the presence of NADH (or NADPH). CBA reductase is useful for exploring the mechanism of in vitro enzyme induction, as the enzyme can be induced by phenobarbital (PB) both in vivo and in vitro. 2. Possible involvement of glutathione (GSH) in gene expression was suggested by a recent study with cultured rat hepatocytes. 3. CBA reductase was purified about 200-fold by a combination of column chromatography and isoelectric focusing in the presence of mercaptoethanol. 4. The ability to form 2-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid was lost when the enzyme was chromatographed on a hydroxylapatite column in the absence of mercaptoethanol; however, it was restored if sulphydryl compounds or bovine serum albumin was added to the eluate from the column. 5. Gel filtration showed the molecular sizes of CBA reductase from the 105,000g supernatant fraction of rat liver extracts and the purified preparation were 64 kDa and 49 kDa, respectively. 6. The results suggest that sulphydryl substances and some proteins play important roles in preserving the molecular and catalytic properties of CBA reductase.

Gel incubation film, which contained gelatin to prevent the diffusion of enzyme during chemical reaction and phenazine methosulfate to operate as a hydrogen acceptor between NADH and tetrazolium, was used and light microscopy revealed that lactate dehydrogenase was located in the head and tail of the spermatozoa as well as in the midpiece, whereas malate dehydrogenase was confined to the midpiece in spermatozoa of the animals examined. In goat spermatozoa, lactate dehydrogenase was associated mainly with the inner acrosomal membrane in the head, the mitochondrial matrix in the midpiece and with flagellar fibrils in the tail, whereas malate dehydrogenase was present only in the mitochondrial matrix.

Aspartic acid 244 that occurs at the putative NAD(+)-binding site of rat liver S-adenosylhomocysteinase was replaced by glutamic acid by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzyme was purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gel permeation chromatography showed that the purified mutant enzyme was a tetramer as is the wild-type enzyme. In contrast to the wild-type enzyme, which possesses 1 mol of tightly bound NAD+ per mol of enzyme subunit, the mutant enzyme had only 0.05 mol of NAD+ but contained about 0.6 mol each of NADH and adenine per mol of subunit. The mutant enzyme, after removal of the bound compounds by acid-ammonium sulfate treatment, exhibited S-adenosylhomocysteinase activity when assayed in the presence of NAD+. From the appearance of activity as a function of NAD+ concentration, the enzyme was shown to bind NAD+ with a Kd of 23.0 microM at 25 degrees C, a value greater than 280-fold greater than that of the wild-type enzyme. In the presence of a saturating concentration of NAD+, the mutant enzyme showed apparent Km values for substrates similar to those of the wild-type enzyme. Moderate decreases of 8- and 15-fold were observed in Vmax values for the synthetic and hydrolytic directions, respectively. These results indicate the importance of Asp-244 in binding NAD+, and are consistent with the idea that the region of S-adenosylhomocysteinase from residues 213 to 244 is part of the NAD+ binding site. This region has structural features characteristic of the dinucleotide-binding domains of NAD(+)- and FAD-binding proteins (Ogawa, H., Gomi, T., Mueckler, M. M., Fujioka, M., Backlund, P.S., Jr., Aksamit, R.R., Unson, C.G., and Cantoni, G.L. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 719-723).
