The membrane-bound respiratory system of the gram-negative bacterium Spirillum itersonii was investigated. It contains cytochromes b (558), c (550), and o (558) and beta-dihydro-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and succinate oxidase activities under all growth conditions. It is also capable of producing D-lactate and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenases when grown with lactate or glycerol as sole carbon source. Membrane-bound malate dehydrogenase was not detectable under any conditions, although there is high activity of soluble nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide: malate dehydrogenase. When grown with oxygen as the sole terminal electron acceptor, approximately 60% of the total b-type cytochrome is present as cytochrome o, whereas only 40% is present as cytochrome o in cells grown with nitrate in the presence of oxygen. Both NADH and succinate oxidase are inhibited by azide, cyanide, antimycin A, and 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxidase at low concentrations. The ability of these inhibitors to completely inhibit oxidase activity at low concentrations and their effects upon the aerobic steady-state reduction levels of b- and c-type cytochromes as well as the aerobic steady-state reduction levels obtained with NADH, succinate, and ascorbate-dichlorophenolindophenol suggest that presence of an unbranched respiratory chain in S. itersonii with the order ubiquinone leads to b leads to c leads to c leads to oxygen.

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-5'-P) has been found to act as a bifunctional reagent during the inactivation of porcine heart cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (L-malate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37). The biphasic kinetics and X-azolidine-like structure formed were similar to those observed for mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (Wimmer, M.J., Mo, T., Sawyers, D.L., and Harrison, J.H. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 710-715). In the cytoplasmic enzyme, however, irreversible inactivation representing X-azolidine formation was found to be the dominant characteristic of the interaction with pyridoxal-5'-P. Spectral evidence indicated that at total inactivation 2 mol of pyridoxal-5'-P were incorporated per mol of enzyme or one pyridoxal-5'-P per enzymatic active site. The presence of NADH protected the enzyme from inactivation suggesting interaction of pyridoxal-5'-P at or near the enzymatic active centers of this enzyme. Fluorometric titrations indicated that pyridoxal-5'-P-inactivated enzyme failed to bind NADH or at least failed to bind NADH in the same fashion as native enzyme.

Our studies have shown that malatedehydrogenase of rat brain mitochondrial fraction (M-MDH) and soluble fraction (S-MDH) differ in respect to their coenzyme specificity. Affinity of both M-MDH and S-MDH to deamino-NAD (direct reaction) is about two times lower than toward NAD. In the reverse reaction deamino-NADH and NADH enhance the activity of M-MDH to the same extent while in the presence of deamino-NADH the activity of S-MDH is somewhat higher. The isoenzyme composition of M-MDH and S-MDH have been studied as well as the relative affinity of each isoenzyme towards deamino-NAD and NAD. Both M-MDH and S-MDH have been shown to consist of 3 isoenzymes, the second isoenzyme being the most active. The percentage of the 3-rd isoenzyme is the lowest. The coenzyme affinity of isoenzymes M-MDH and S-MDH have been shown to differ very markedly.

The inhibition of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (L-malate : NADH oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37) by 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) was investigated at pH 8.0 where both forward and backward reactions can be measured. The inhibition with respect to malate is non-competitive at finite NAD concentrations. Increasing the NAD concentrations lowers the slope of the double reciprocal plot so that at infinite NAD the inhibition is uncompetitive. The inhibition with respect to oxaloacetate is non-competitive. Increasing the NADH concentration lowers the slope and intercept of the double reciprocal plot so that at infinite NADH the inhibition is nil. The inhibition with respect to NADH is competitive, whatever the oxaloacetate concentrations are. The inhibition with respect to NAD, at all malate concentrations, is non-competitive. This pattern of inhibition is incompatible with any model assuming that NAD and NADH reacts with identical forms of the enzyme. On the other hand the reciprocating compulsory ordered mechanism, where the two subunits of the dimeric enzyme are working in concert, can account for all the experimental results. It is concluded that NAD and NADH bind to different forms of the enzyme separated by reversible steps. Only one form (see text), the one which binds NADH, can react to form the dead end complex (see text). The similarity between mechanism of inhibition by thenoyltrifluoroacetone and other hydrophobic inhibitors of malate dehydrogenase is discussed.

A correlation is shown to exist between malate dehydrogenase (MDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (glycerol-3-PDH activity values, lactate/pyruvate and malate/oxaloacetate coefficients, MDH and LDH isozyme spectra and kinetic properties of LDH isozymes in soluble fractions of cytoplasm from intact rabbit m. soleus (red), m. gastrocnemius (mixed) and m. quadratus lumborum (white). In denervated soleus and gastrocnemius the cytoplasmic MDH/LDH, mitochondrial MDH/LDH, MDH mitochondrial/MDH cytoplasmic activity ratios, concentrations of substrates and isozyme spectra of MDH and LDH tend to equalize. The obtained results indicate the importance of isozyme composition and total activity ratios of the dehydrogenases for regulation of pyruvate and NADH metabolic pathways.

The "in vivo" effects of L-phenylalanine on the gluconeogenic pathway in the liver of fasted rats with experimentally induced phenylketonuria-like characteristics have been investigated. Significant increases of the fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate and glucose concentrations were observed. The study of the effect of L-phenylalanine on the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial redox state and energy charge showed an increase in the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio while the energy charge was virtually unchanged. The effects of phenylalanine and its metabolic derivatives (phenylacetate, phenylethylamine, phenyl-lactate, o-hydroxyphenylacetate and phenylpyruvate) on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) and 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30) in rat liver have been also investigated. Phenylpyruvate inhibited the lactate dehydrogenase activity with a Ki of 5.3 mM. Phenylpyruvate also inhibited both the mitochondrial (Ki = 4 mM) and cytoplasmic (Ki = 5 mM) malate dehydrogenase activities. Phenylpyruvate, phenylacetate and o-hydroxyphenylacetate inhibited the 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity with Ki values of 0.7, 6.0 and 9.5 mM respectively.

1. The subcellular distribution of adenine nucleotides, acetyl-CoA, CoA, glutamate, 2-oxoglutarate, malate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate, phosphoenolpyruvate, 3-phosphoglycerate, glucose 6-phosphate, aspartate and citrate was studied in isolated hepatocytes in the absence and presence of glucagon by using a modified digitonin procedure for cell fractionation. 2. In the absence of glucagon, the cytosol contains about two-thirds of cellular ATP, some 40-50% of ADP, acetyl-CoA, citrate and phosphoenolpyruvate, more than 75% of total 2-oxoglutarate, glutamate, malate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate, 3-phosphoglycerate and aspartate, and all of glucose 6-phosphate. 3. In the presence of glucagon the cytosolic space shows an increase in the content of malate, phosphoenolpyruvate and 3-phosphoglycerate by more than 60%, and those of aspartate and glucose 6-phosphate rise by about 25%. Other metabolites remain unchanged. After glucagon treatment, cytosolic pyruvate is decreased by 37%, whereas glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate decrease by 70%. The [NAD(+)]/[NADH] ratios calculated from the cytosolic concentrations of the reactants of lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase were the same. Glucagon shifts this ratio and also that of the [NADP(+)]/[NADPH] couple towards a more reduced state. 4. In the mitochondrial space glucagon causes an increase in the acetyl-CoA and ATP contents by 25%, and an increase in [phosphoenolpyruvate] by 50%. Other metabolites are not changed by glucagon. Oxaloacetate in the matrix is only slightly decreased after glucagon, yet glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate fall to about 25% of the respective control values. The [NAD(+)]/[NADH] ratios as calculated from the [3-hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] ratio and from the matrix [malate]/[oxaloacetate] couple are lowered by glucagon, yet in the latter case the values are about tenfold higher than in the former. 5. Glucagon and oleate stimulate gluconeogenesis from lactate to nearly the same extent. Oleate, however, does not produce the changes in cellular 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate as observed with glucagon. 6. The changes of the subcellular metabolite distribution after glucagon are compatible with the proposal that the stimulation of gluconeogenesis results from as yet unknown action(s) of the hormone at the mitochondrial level in concert with its established effects on proteolysis and lipolysis.

1. The mechanisms of the reduction of oxaloacetate and of 3-fluoro-oxaloacetate by NADH catalysed by cytoplasmic pig heart malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were investigated. 2. One mol of dimeric enzyme produces 1.7+/-0.4 mol of enzyme-bound NADH when mixed with saturating NAD+ and L-malate at a rate much higher than the subsequent turnover at pH 7.5. 3. Transient measurements of protein and nucleotide fluorescence show that the steady-state complex in the forward direction is MDH-NADH and in the reverse direction MDH-NADH-oxaloacetate. 4. The rate of dissociation of MDH-NADH was measured and is the same as Vmax. in the forward direction at pH 7.5. Both NADH-binding sites are kinetically equivalent. The rate of dissociation varies with pH, as does the equilibrium binding constant for NADH. 5. 3-Fluoro-oxaloacetate is composed of three forms (F1, F2 and S) of which F1 and F2 are immediately substrates for the enzyme. The third form, S, is not a substrate, but when the F forms are used up form S slowly and non-enzymically equilibrates to yield the active substrate forms. S is 2,2-dihydroxy-3-fluorosuccinate. 6. The steady-state compound during the reduction of form F1 is an enzyme form that does not contain NADH, probably MDH-NAD+-fluoromalate. The steady-state compound for form F2 is an enzyme form containing NADH, probably MDH-NADH-fluoro-oxaloacetate. 7. The rate-limiting reaction in the reduction of form F2 shows a deuterium isotope rate ratio of 4 when NADH is replaced by its deuterium analogue, and the rate-limiting reaction is concluded to be hydride transfer. 8. A novel titration was used to show that dimeric cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase contains two sites that can rapidly reduce the F1 form of 3-fluoro-oxaloacetate. The enzyme shows 'all-of-the-sites' behaviour. 9. Partial mechanisms are proposed to explain the enzyme-catalysed transformations of the natural and the fluoro substrates. These mechanisms are similar to the mechanism of pig heart lactate dehydrogenase and this, and the structural results of others, can be explained if the two enzymes are a product of divergent evolution.

The time-resolved and steady state fluorescence properties were measured for pig heart cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase at pH 6.0 and 8.0. The fluorescence decay can be described by two rate processes, according to the functions: I(t) = 0.7e(-t/1.0) + 0.3e(-t/4.4) for the free enzyme and I(t) = 0.7e(-t/0.8) + 0.3e(-t/2.0 for the enzyme . NADH complex. Quenching by NADH of the tryptophan fluorescence is linear. The only effect of pH is to change the association constant for NADH binding; the fluorescence of the free enzyme and the fluorescence quenching by NADH, I-, and acrylamide are unaffected by pH. Thus there are no changes in conformation of the free enzyme or of the NADH complex over the range of pH 6 to 8.

The association reactions of NADH and NAD+ with dimeric pig heart supernatant malate dehydrogenase (s-MDH) have been measured at pH 6 and 8 by calorimetric and fluorescence methods, and the thermodynamic parameters describing these reactions have been evaluated. Coenzyme binding is associated with the uptake of 0.55 mol of H+/mol of NADH at pH 8 and 0.19 mol of H+ at pH 6. No significant effect of NAD+ binding on proton binding was observed. Increase in ionic strength strongly affects the free energies of binding of NAD+ and NADH. No cooperativity was observed in the enthalpy or free energy changes for binding of NAD+ or NADH. The differences in free energy of binding of NAD+ and NADH and the effect of pH on binding of NADH are entropy based. These effects are interpreted as reflecting a small number of interactions within the active site that are predominantly ionic.
