This paper describes experiments conducted with membranous and soluble fractions obtained from Escherichia coli that had been grown on succinate, malate, or enriched glucose media. Oxidase and dehydrogenase activities were studied with the following substrates: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (NADH), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH), succinate, malate, isocitrate, glutamate, pyruvate, and alpha-ketoglutarate. Respiration was virtually insensitive to poisons that are commonly used to inhibit mitochondrial systems, namely, rotenone, antimycin, and azide. Succinate dehydrogenase and NADH, NADPH, and succinate oxidases were primarily membrane-bound whereas malate, isocitrate, and NADH dehydrogenases were predominantly soluble. It was observed that E. coli malate dehydrogenase could be assayed with the dye 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol, but that porcine malate dehydrogenase activity could not be assayed, even in the presence of E. coli extracts. The characteristics of E. coli NADH dehydrogenase were shown to be markedly different from those of a mammalian enzyme. The enzyme activities for oxidation of Krebs cycle intermediates (malate, succinate, isocitrate) did not appear to be under coordinate genetic control.

By competition with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), commonly occurring intracellular proteins, such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and albumin, can protect LDH-1 and LDH-5 from inhibition and ternary complex formation with NAD and pyruvate. The existence of intracellular proteins that compete with LDH for NAD renders unphysiological a model for estimating the extent of intracellular LDH inhibition based on incubations of only LDH, NAD, and pyruvate.

Two isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were demonstrated in plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The more "cathodal" form was uniquely associated with mitochondria (M-MDH) and the other form was found in the soluble cytoplasm (S-MDH). The isoenzymes were separated by acetone fractionation of soluble plasmodial homogenates acidified to pH 5.0. The M-MDH was purified 201-fold by cetylpyridinium chloride treatment, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, gradient elution from sulfoethyl cellulose at pH 6.0, and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The S-MDH was purified 155-fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation, diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography, gradient elution from sulfoethyl cellulose at pH 5.5, and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. The optimal cis-oxalacetate concentrations were 0.35 mM for M-MDH and 0.25 mM for S-MDH, and the optimal pH for both isoenzymes was 7.6 for oxalacetate reduction. The optimal l-malate concentrations were 5 mM for S-MDH and 6 mM for M-MDH, and both isoenzymes exhibited an optimal pH of 10.0 for L-malate oxidation. The Michaelis constants of S-MDH and M-MDH served to discriminate between the isoenzymes. The S-MDH was more heat-stable than the M-MDH. High concentrations of oxalacetate and malate inhibited S-MDH more than M-MDH. The isoenzymes were further distinguished by their utilization of analogues of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Many properties of the Physarum isoenzymes were similar to those of more complex organisms, especially vertebrates.

A series of chemically-defined adenosine phosphate ligands attached to Sepharose 4B were used as active-site probes in studying the interaction of enzymes with their coenzymes and substrates and to test the suitability of these matrices for ;general ligand' affinity chromatography. Nicotinamide nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenases were used as models to test this methodology. Elution from these columns by NAD(+) and/or AMP gradients (in the presence or the absence of substrates and/or nicotinamide mononucleotide) was consistent with: (1) the compulsory ordered addition of substrates to lactate and malate dehydrogenase; (2) the necessity for the NMN moiety of NAD(+) to bind to these enzymes before the substrate; and illustrated: (3) that the binding of these two hydrogenases to these columns compared very well with the published three-dimensional models for these enzymes and (4) that separation of mixtures of dehydrogenases depended on the choice of matrix and displacing ion and whether any additions (e.g. substrates) were made to the gradients used. These techniques were used to purify UDP-glucose dehydrogenase from a crude starting material on a phosphate-linked UDP (or ADP) matrix. The binding of this enzyme to these two columns was not consistent with either an ordered or random addition of substrates and suggested a more complex mechanism.

The enzyme pattern of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was followed during batch growth and in continuous culture in a synthetic medium limited for glucose under aerobic conditions. Seven enzymes were measured: succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, malate dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked glutamate dehydrogenase, malate synthase, isocitrate lyase, aldolase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP(+))-linked glutamate dehydrogenase. During fermentation of glucose and high growth rate (mu) during the first log phase in batch experiments, the first five enzymes (group I) were repressed, and aldolase and NADP(+)-linked glutamate dehydrogenase (group II) were derepressed. During growth on the accumulated ethyl alcohol and lower mu, the group I enzymes were preferentially formed and the other two were repressed. A sequence of derepression of the group I enzymes was found during the shift from glucose to ethyl alcohol metabolism, which can be correlated with a strong increase in the percentage of single (nonbudding) cells in the population. A correlation between the state of cells in the budding cycle and enzyme repression and derepression is suggested. In continuous culture, the enzyme pattern was shown to be related to the growth rate. The group I enzymes were repressed at high growth rates, while the group II enzymes were derepressed. Each enzyme exhibits a different dependence. The enzyme pattern is shown to depend on the rate of substrate consumption as well as on the type of metabolism and to be correlated with the budding cycle. The enzyme pattern is considered to be controlled by changes of intracellular catabolic or metabolic conditions inherent in the division cycle.

1. NADP-malate dehydrogenase and ;malic' enzyme in maize leaf extracts were separated from NAD-malate dehydrogenase and their properties were examined. 2. The NADP-malate dehydrogenase was nicotinamide nucleotide-specific but otherwise catalysed a reaction comparable with that with the NAD-specific enzyme. By contrast with the latter enzyme, a thiol was absolutely essential for maintaining the activity of the NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and the initial velocity in the direction of malate formation, relative to the reverse direction, was faster. 3. For the ;malic' enzyme reaction the K(m) for malate was dependent on pH and the pH optimum varied with the malate concentration. At their respective optimum concentrations the maximum velocity for this enzyme was higher with Mg(2+) than with Mn(2+). 4. The NADP-malate dehydrogenase in green leaves was rapidly inactivated in the dark and was reactivated when plants were illuminated. Reactivation of the enzyme extracted from darkened leaves was achieved simply by adding a thiol compound. 5. The activity of both enzymes was low in etiolated leaves of maize plants grown in the dark but increased 10-20-fold, together with chlorophyll, when leaves were illuminated. 6. The activity of these enzymes in different species with the C(4)-dicarboxylic acid pathway was compared and their possible role in photosynthesis was considered.

1. The stereospecificity of 20 enzymes from plants is reported. 2. The stereospecificity of all known forms of malate dehydrogenase in plants and animals has been shown to be A-specific. 3. The generalization that ;the stereospecificity of a particular reaction is independent of the source of the enzyme' is confirmed for a total of 12 plant enzymes. 4. A new generalization is proposed: ;When a metabolic sequence involves consecutive nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide-dependent reactions, the dehydrogenases have the same stereospecificity.'

Mutants devoid of malate dehydrogenase activity have been isolated in Escherichia coli K-12. They do not possess detectable malate dehydrogenase when grown aerobically or anaerobically on glucose as sole carbon source. All mutants revert spontaneously; a few partial revertants have been found with a malate dehydrogenase exhibiting altered electrophoretic mobility. Therefore, only one such enzyme appears to exist in the strains examined. No evidence could be obtained for the presence of a malate dehydrogenase not linked to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Mutants deficient in both malate dehydrogenase and phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase activities will grow anaerobically on minimal glucose plus succinate medium; also, malate dehydrogenase mutants do not require succinate for anaerobic growth on glucose. The anaerobic pathway oxaloacetate to succinate or succinate to aspartate appears to be accomplished by aspartase. Malate dehydrogenase is coded for by a locus somewhere relatively near the histidine operon, i.e., a different chromosomal location than that known for other citric acid cycle enzymes.

The growth response of Listeria monocytogenes strains A4413 and 9037-7 to carbohydrates was determined in a defined medium. Neither pyruvate, acetate, citrate, isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, nor malate supported growth. Furthermore, inclusion of any of these carbohydrates in the growth medium with glucose did not increase the growth of Listeria over that observed on glucose alone. Resting cell suspensions of strain A4413 oxidized pyruvate but not acetate, citrate, isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, or malate. Cell-free extracts of strain A4413 contained active citrate synthase, aconitate hydratase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase, fumarate reductase, pyruvate dehydrogenase system, and oxidases for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. The alpha-ketoglutarate oxidation system, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, and malate synthase were not detected. Cytochromes were not detected. The data suggest that strain A4413, under these conditions, utilizes a split noncyclic citrate pathway which has an oxidative portion (citrate synthase, aconitate hydratase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase) and a reductive portion (malate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase, and fumarate reductase). This pathway is probably important in biosynthesis but not for a net gain in energy.

Mitochondria, released from yeast spheroplasts and subjected to rate separation through sorbitol gradients in the zonal centrifuge, migrated in a wide symmetrical zone. Electron micrographs showed that the mitochondria had been resolved within the zone according to size. The mean mitochondrial diameter at the leading edge was approximately twice that at the trailing edge of the particle zone. Activities of the enzymes cytochrome oxidase, malate dehydrogenase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- and d-lactate cytochrome c reductases were essentially uniform throughout the mitochondrial zone. Mitochondria from a vegetative-petite mutant had almost the same size distribution as the isogenic wild type, but with somewhat larger mean diameter and either absent or markedly reduced enzyme activities. Mixtures of wild-type and petite mitochondria produced sedimentation profiles showing overlap of particle populations with respect to mean sedimentation rates and mitochondrial diameters, as well as intermediate levels of enzyme activities. Both cristate and noncristate organelles were present throughout the mitochondrial zone from these mixtures. Mitochondria centrifuged in sorbitol density gradients were well-preserved and yielded consistent sedimentation profiles, whereas particles in sucrose density gradients migrated more slowly, produced varied sedimentation profiles, and often showed spurious peaks, presumably due to particle aggregations.
