Interaction of several enzymes (pyruvate kinase, myokinase, creatine kinase, aldolase, malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and other proteins (bovine serum albumin and ovalbumin) with Blue Dextran was studied by means of affinity electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. A decrease of electrophoretic mobility of enzymes in affinity gels was dependent on Blue Dextran concentration and in some cases, dissociation constants of the protein-immobilized dye complexes could be calculated. Affinity electrophoresis in the presence of Blue Dextran reveals in some cases additional bands of isoenzymes, as compared with the control gels (without Blue Dextran).

We have previously shown that the rapid clearance of intravenously injected lactate dehydrogenase M4 from plasma is mainly due to endocytosis by macrophages in liver, spleen, and bone marrow. We have now studied endocytosis of lactate dehydrogenase M4 in detail, using freshly isolated rat liver macrophages (Kupffer cells) in vitro. 125I-lactate dehydrogenase M4 rapidly accumulated in the cells and was subsequently degraded to trichloroacetic acid-soluble material. Degradation was inhibited by leupeptin, an inhibitor of lysosomal proteases. Breakdown of the protein was also greatly diminished by treatment of the cells with chloroquine, a weak base which inhibits proteolysis by raising the pH in endosomes and lysosomes. High concentrations of chloroquine inhibited uptake. Lactate dehydrogenase M4 was not endocytosed by liver endothelial cells, although, under the same conditions, these cells were shown to accumulate horse radish peroxidase via a mannose-specific receptor. Uptake of lactate dehydrogenase M4 by Kupffer cells was strongly reduced after pretreatment of the cells with low concentrations of proteases. Endocytosis of lactate dehydrogenase M4 exhibited saturation kinetics (Km = 0.8 microM) and was competitively inhibited by mitochondrial and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, and creatine kinase MM, enzymes which are rapidly cleared in vivo. Enzymes with long half-lives in plasma, namely lactate dehydrogenase H4, alanine aminotransferase, and cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase did not compete at concentrations up to 10 microM. Our results indicate that Kupffer cells contain a receptor that is involved in the clearance of lactate dehydrogenase M4 and a number of other tissue-derived enzymes from plasma. Uptake of lactate dehydrogenase M4 does not occur via a receptor that recognizes carbohydrate residues, for the enzyme is not a glycoprotein.

A new adenine nucleotide analog, [3H]pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (PLP-AMP), has been synthesized. The effectiveness of PLP-AMP as an affinity probe has been tested using a number of nucleotide-binding enzymes. In comparison to reaction with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, PLP-AMP binds more tightly and exhibits greater specificity of labeling for most enzymes tested. PLP-AMP is a very potent inhibitor of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase, with complete inhibition obtained upon incorporation of 1 mol of reagent/mol of catalytic subunit. The reagent is also a potent inhibitor of yeast hexokinase and phosphoglycerate kinase. When modified in the absence of substrates, these enzymes require 2 mol of reagent/mol of active site for complete inhibition. However, when modified in the presence of sugar substrates, this stoichiometry decreases to 1.1 for the hexokinase-glucose complex and 1.4 for the phosphoglycerate kinase . 3-phosphoglycerate complex. The most potent inhibition by PLP-AMP was observed with rabbit muscle adenylate kinase. Half-maximal inhibition was obtained at a concentration of approximately 1 microM. In contrast to these examples, PLP-AMP, as well as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, fails to act as a potent or specific inhibitor of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATP-ase. The high specificity of labeling and the ability of nucleotide substrates to decrease the rate of inactivation of the kinases and dehydrogenase are consistent with the modification of active site residues. The complete reversibility of both modification and inactivation in the absence of reduction by NaBH4 and the absorption spectra of modified enzymes prior to and following reduction indicate reaction with lysyl residues. We conclude that PLP-AMP holds considerable promise as an affinity label for exploring the structure and mechanism of nucleotide-binding enzymes.

Plasma contains many enzymes that are probably derived from damaged cells. These enzymes are cleared at characteristic rates. We showed previously that in rats the rapid clearance of alcohol dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase M4 and the mitochondrial and cytosolic isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase is largely due to endocytosis by macrophages in liver, spleen and bone marrow. We now demonstrate that uptake of each of the enzymes by these tissues is in general decreased by simultaneous injection of a high dose of one of the other dehydrogenases or a high dose of adenylate kinase or creatine kinase. A similar dose of colloidal albumin did not significantly decrease uptake of the four dehydrogenases. Nor was uptake of colloidal albumin, apo-peroxidase from horseradish or multilamellar liposomes influenced by a high dose of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase. These results indicate that the four dehydrogenases and the two kinases are specifically endocytosed via the same receptor. We suggest that this receptor contains a group, possibly a nucleotide, with affinity for the nucleotide-binding sites of the enzymes.

In previous experiments we have shown that the rapid clearance in rats of alcohol dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase M4, and the mitochondrial and cytosolic isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase is largely due to endocytosis by macrophages in liver, spleen and bone marrow. Competition experiments indicated that the dehydrogenases as well as adenylate kinase and creatine kinase MM are endocytosed via the same receptor. We suggested that this receptor contains a group with affinity for the nucleotide-binding sites of the enzymes. We now demonstrate that competition also occurs between mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase, which does not require a nucleotide for its activity. At low doses, mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase was cleared following first-order kinetics (half-life: 19 min). Simultaneous injection of a high dose of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase strongly retarded the clearance of the aminotransferase. These results make unlikely the hypothesis that a nucleotide-binding site is involved in recognition of enzymes by macrophages.

The activities of 13 liver and 6 brain enzymes were studied in 7-12 week old CD2F1 male mice that had been fed ad libitum and standardized either to 12 hours of light (0600-1800) alternating with 12 hours of darkness (1800-0600) (LD12:12); or to a reversed light-dark cycle (darkness 0600-1800; light 1800-0600) (DL12:12). Three separate studies were performed on two different days; in each experiment, subgroups of 14 animals were sacrificed at 3-hour intervals. Livers were assayed for: isocitrate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, glyoxylate reductase, L-alanine aminotransferase, glutamate oxalacetate transaminase, pyruvate decarboxylase, fructose-1-phosphate aldolase, fructose diphosphate aldolase, fructose 1,6-diphosphatase, and fatty acid synthetase. Brains were assayed for phosphoglucose isomerase, adenosine triphosphatase, creatine phosphokinase, pyruvate kinase, adenylate kinase, and malate dehydrogenase. All 19 enzymes demonstrated a prominent circadian rhythm in at least one experiment. Moreover, each rhythmic variable showed a statistically significant fit to a 24-hour cosine (sine) curve by the method of least squares. In general, peak activities of the liver enzymes analyzed were associated with the beginning of the dark cycle and initiation of the animal's activity, while the group of brain enzymes had peak activities which occurred at the beginning of the animals' rest span and were near the beginning of the light cycle. The phasing of each of the rhythms could be reversed within a two-week span after reversing the environmental light-dark cycle 180 degrees.

In order to better understand ligand-induced closure in domain enzymes, open unliganded X-ray structures and closed liganded X-ray structures have been studied in five enzymes: adenylate kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, citrate synthase, liver alcohol dehydrogenase, and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. A sequential model of ligand binding and domain closure was used to test the hypothesis that the ligand actively drives closure from an open conformation. The analysis supports the assumption that each enzyme has a dedicated binding domain to which the ligand binds first and a closing domain. In every case, a small number of residues are identified to interact with the ligand to initiate and drive domain closure. In all cases except adenylate kinase, the backbone of residues located in an interdomain-bending region (hinge site) is identified to interact with the ligand to aid in driving closure. In adenylate kinase, the side-chain of a residue located directly adjacent to a bending region drives closure. It is thought that by binding near a hinge site the ligand is able to get within interaction range of residues when the enzyme is in the open conformation. Interdomain bending regions not involved in inducing closure are involved in control, helping to determine the location of the hinge axis. Similarities have been discovered between aspartate aminotransferase and citrate synthase that only come to light in the context of their dynamical behaviour in response to binding their substrate. Similarity also exists between liver alcohol dehydrogenase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase whereby groups on NAD and ATP, respectively, mimic the backbone of a single amino acid residue in a process where a three residue segment located at the terminus of a beta-sheet, moves to form hydrogen bonds with the mimic that resemble those found in a parallel beta-sheet. This interaction helps to drive domain closure in a process that has analogy to protein folding.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most commonly inherited neuromuscular disorder in humans. Although the primary genetic deficiency of dystrophin in X-linked muscular dystrophy is established, it is not well-known how pathophysiological events trigger the actual fibre degeneration. We have therefore performed a DIGE analysis of normal diaphragm muscle versus the severely affected x-linked muscular dystrophy (MDX) diaphragm, which represents an established animal model of dystrophinopathy. Out of 2398 detectable 2-D protein spots, 35 proteins showed a drastic differential expression pattern, with 21 proteins being decreased, including Fbxo11-protein, adenylate kinase, beta-haemoglobin and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, and 14 proteins being increased, including cvHSP, aldehyde reductase, desmin, vimentin, chaperonin, cardiac and muscle myosin heavy chain. This suggests that lack of sarcolemmal integrity triggers a generally perturbed protein expression pattern in dystrophin-deficient fibres. However, the most significant finding was the dramatic increase in the small heat shock protein cvHSP, which was confirmed by 2-D immunoblotting. Confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed elevated levels of cvHSP in MDX fibres. An immunoblotting survey of other key heat shock proteins showed a differential expression pattern in MDX diaphragm. Stress response appears to be an important cellular mechanism in dystrophic muscle and may be exploitable as a new approach to counteract muscle degeneration.
