Electrophoretic mobilities in polyacrylamide gel of five dehydrogenases: NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) were investigated in a series of mouse X Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Seven hybrid lines with different ratio of chromosome sets of hamster and mouse: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 1:2 respectively were studied. NADP-MDH and 6PGD of both parental species and intermediate hybrid bands were present in all hybrids except two lines. These lines had only hamster MDH due to the elimination of mouse chromosomes. A correlation was found between the gene dose and the intensity of the expression of the MDH bands. The mouse type ADH was detected in all hybrids. The hamster ADH was found in one of the hybrid lines that lost all mouse chromosomes during cultivation. It is suggested that hamster ADH activity was suppressed in hybrids by the mouse genome. The species origin of GDH and G6PD could not be established due to similarity of electrophoretic mobilities of respective enzymes in parental cells.

In the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the guinea pig, rat, golden hamster, and mouse the activity and distribution of enzymes related to the energy-supplying metabolism and of some marker enzymes of different cell organelles have been investigated by means of mostly modified histochemical methods. The results were compared with findings in the ciliated ependyma of the ventricular wall and with those in the ependyma of the choroid plexus of the third ventricle. In the ependymal part of the SCO only a moderate activity of hexokinase is observed in its specialized columnar cells whereas a high activity is present both in the ciliated ependyma and the choroid plexus. - The staining pattern of glucose-6-phosphatase is similar to that of hexokinase but this enzyme is found is the SCO only. - Likewise hexokinase, glycogen granules and enzymes related to glycogen metabolism (phosphoglucomutase, uridine-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase) are regularly found most numerous and active in the nuclear and supra-nuclear area of the ependymal part. These enzymes are less active in both the other ependymal regions. - Uridine-diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase could not be demonstrated in the SCO. The NADP-linked enzymes of the pentose phosphate shunt, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, show a moderate activity which decreases also from the nuclear towards the apical area of the ependymal cells of the SCO. Enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, such as glucosephosphate isomerase, fructose-6-phosphate kinase, fructose-I,6-diphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase, are highly active in the SCO and are located mainly in the supranuclear area, too. Fructose-1,6-diphosphatase could not be demonstrated thus indicating that in the SCO the pathway is most probably only glycolytic but not gluconeogenetic. Compared to the ependyma of the ventricular wall and of the choroid plexus, in the SCO the M type subunits of lactate dehydrogenase predominate. Glycolytic enzymes are also very active in the choroid plexus but less in the ciliated ependyma. Compared to the ciliated ependyma and especially to the ependyma of the choroid plexus, the activities of enzymes which are only present in mitochondria (NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD-linked malate dehydrogenase after preextraction, cytochrome oxidase, 3-hydroxybutyrate and glycerolphosphate and glutamate dehydrogenase) are relatively low. Mitochondria are accumulated near the superior pole of the nuclei as well as in the most apical part of the ependymal cells. - The staining pattern of NADP-linked isocitrate and malate dehydrogenase as well as of NADH dehydrogenase suggests that these enzymes are localized both in and out of mitochondria. The extramitochondrial activity of the first two enzymes might be localized in the cytosol. The extramitochondrial activity of NADH dehydrogenase might be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum...

Electrophoretic mobilities in polyacrylamide gel of five dehydrogenases: NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) were investigated in a series of mouse X Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Seven hybrid lines with different ratio of chromosome sets of hamster and mouse: 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 3 : 1 and 1 : 2 respectively were studied. NADP-MDH and 6PGD of both parental species and intermediate hybrid hands were present in all hybrids except two lines. These lines had only hamster MDH due to the elimination of mouse chromosomes. A correlation was found between the gene dose and the intensity of the expression of the MDH bands. The mouse type ADH was detected in all hybrids. The hamster ADH was found in one of the hybrid lines that lost all mouse chromosomes during cultivation. It is suggested that hamster ADH activity was suppressed in hybrids by the mouse genome. The species origin of GDH and G6PD could not be established due to similarity of electrophoretic mobilities of respective enzymes in parenteral cells.

The histoenzymatic method was applied to the study of distribution of the activity of the redox enzymes in the myocardium of the ventricles in rats; distribution of the activity of lactic and malic dehydrogenase and of alpha-glycerophosphate proved to be the most manifest near the apex of the heart and was expressed in the presence of "spotty" areas of increased activity against the general homogeneous background of formazan deposits. The activity of mitochondrial upsilon-glycerophoric dehydrogenase was seen in all the portions of the ventricles and was characterized by an uneven distribution in the sarcoplasm with increase in the direction from the interdisc to the nucleus. Unevenness of distribution of the beta-oxybutyric dehydrogenase activity was detected in some of the animals and was pronounced in all the portions of the myocardium. The intensity of the reaction in detection of succinic dehydrogenase, NAD- and NADP-diaphorases varied but insignificantly.

Thioredoxin derivatives lacking SH groups such as S,S'-dicarboxymethyl-, dicarboxamidomethyl-thioredoxin and cysteine----serine mutant protein are capable of activating chloroplast NADP malate dehydrogenase and fructose-bisphosphatase when added to enzyme assays together with suboptimal amounts of native thioredoxin. The modified thioredoxins alone are inactive. These findings indicate that protein-protein interactions play a significant role in addition to disulfide/thiol exchange reactions in the light-driven regulation of plant enzymes by the various plant thioredoxins.

Multiple genes for thioredoxins (TRX) have been demonstrated in Dictyostelium discoideum. We expressed the cDNA for one of these genes (DdTrx1) in E. coli and purified the protein to homogeneity. The interaction with classic substrates as well as TRX reductases was analysed. It reacted with every tested substrate: insulin, NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. With a S0.5 of 20 microM, the reactivity with the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is the highest ever found for a heterologous TRX. DdTRX1 itself is accepted as a substrate by the chloroplast ferredoxin-dependent TRX reductase, as well as by the E. coli NADPH-dependent TRX reductase. Thus, the Dictyostelium TRX is functionally promiscuous. Its reactivity with insulin, chloroplast NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase and ferredoxin-dependent TRX reductase resemble those of other TRX. It is, however, clearly different in its good interaction with chloroplast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and in its poor interaction with E. coli NADP-dependent TRX reductase.

The chloroplastic enzyme NADP-malate dehydrogenase is activated by a reversible thiol/disulfide interchange with reduced thioredoxin. Its target disulfide bridge is considered to be located at the amino terminus. To further substantiate the regulatory role of this disulfide, site-directed mutagenesis has been used to replace each or both of the amino-terminal cysteines of the sorghum leaf NADP-malate dehydrogenase, expressed in Escherichia coli, by serines. A truncation mutant lacking the amino terminus has also been produced. Surprisingly, the mutant proteins still required activation by reduced thioredoxin. However, their activation was almost instantaneous, whereas the native enzyme reached full activity after a 10-20 min preincubation. The 8 1/2 for reduced thioredoxin was decreased 2-fold in the mutants, but their Km values for NADPH and oxaloacetate did not change significantly. The inhibition of activation by NADP and inhibition of activity by thiol-derivatizing agents were also retained. These results are interpreted as an indication that two thioredoxin-dependent reduction steps are involved in NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase light activation, hence that two disulfides per monomer participate in the process. The overall activation rate would depend on a conformational change following the reduction of the amino-terminal disulfide bridge. The amino terminus also plays a role in the dimerization of the protein.

1. The component fatty acids of the endogenous phospholipids of microsomal preparations of Mucor, when shaken at 30 degrees C, increased in both chain length and in degree of unsaturation. The net effect was the production of gamma-linolenic acid which, over 2 h, increased from 17% to 32% of total fatty acids present. No further significant changes occurred after this time. 2. The major site for desaturation/elongation reactions was at the sn-2 position of PtdIns. PtdCho and PtdEtn were not implicated. 3. Of numerous metabolites and cofactors added to the microsomes, only malate could prolong the elongation/desaturation reactions for up to 6 h. This effect was shown to be due to a membrane-associated malic enzyme [malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) NADP+] with the NADPH produced being used in fatty-acid desaturation. 4. Kinetic analysis of cytosolic and microsomal enzymes [both in 0.1% (mass/vol.) Chaps] could not distinguish between them. However, when the microsomal malic enzyme was dialysed to remove Chaps, it lost 90% of activity, although the cytosolic malic enzyme lost only 20% activity. 5. The structural analogue of malate, tartronic acid, which is an inhibitor of malic enzyme, also inhibited the malate-induced stimulation of fatty-acyl group desaturation and elongation in the microsomal membranes. 6. It is concluded that two distinct malic enzymes exist, one soluble and one membrane bound, with similar active sites. Both have different roles in the production of NADPH, for lipid metabolism. The former will produce NADPH for fatty-acid biosynthesis whilst the latter produces NADPH for fatty-acid desaturation.

This paper reports the purification and the properties of a thioredoxin from the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. This thioredoxin is an acidic protein which exhibits an unusual fluorescence emission spectrum, characterized by a high contribution of tyrosine residues. Thioredoxin from A. nidulans cannot serve as a substrate for Escherichia coli thioredoxin reductase. Corn NADP-malate dehydrogenase is activated by this thioredoxin in the presence of dithiothreitol, while fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is not. The amino acid sequence of Aspergillus thioredoxin was determined by automated Edman degradation after cleavage with trypsin, SV8 protease, chymotrypsin and cyanogen bromide. The masses of tryptic peptides were verified by plasma-desorption mass spectrometry. The mass of the protein was determined by electrospray mass spectrometry and shown to be in agreement with the calculated mass derived from the sequence (M(r) = 11,564). Compared to thioredoxins from other sources, the protein from A. nidulans displays a maximal sequence similarity with that from yeast (45%).

NADP-malate dehydrogenase (L-malate: NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.82) from leaves of Pisum sativum has been purified to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the crude leaf extract and in the absence of protease inhibitors in the isolation medium, the N-terminus of NADP-MDH was found to be highly susceptible to proteolysis. Evidence of proteolysis during purification includes observations of reduced subunit size on SDS-PAGE and reduced specific activity. Experiments were carried out to investigate the function of the N-terminal amino acid sequence extension of NADP-MDH. Limited proteolysis of highly active (600 units/mg protein) NADP-MDH using aminopeptidase K yielded catalytically active monomers of 34.7 kDa. The results support the conclusions that the N-terminal region is located at the surface of the protein, and that for maintenance of the native NADP-MDH dimer an N-terminal amino acid sequence is important.
