1. Aerobically grown yeast having a high activity of glyoxylate-cycle, citric acid-cycle and electron-transport enzymes was transferred to a medium containing 10% glucose. After a lag phase of 30min. the yeast grew exponentially with a mean generation time of 94min. 2. The enzymes malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase lost 45%, 17%, 27% and 46% of their activity respectively during the lag phase. 3. When growth commenced pyruvate kinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, alcohol dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)-linked) and NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase increased in activity, whereas aconitase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)- and NADP(+)-linked), alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH oxidase, NADPH oxidase, cytochrome c oxidase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)-linked), glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, isocitrate lyase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase decreased. 4. During the early stages of growth the loss of activity of aconitase, alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, fumarase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase could be accounted for by dilution by cell division. The lower rate of loss of activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)- and NADP(+)-linked), glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)-linked), glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, NADPH oxidase and cytochrome c oxidase implies their continued synthesis, whereas the higher rate of loss of activity of malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and NADH oxidase means that these enzymes were actively removed. 5. The mechanisms of selective removal of enzyme activity and the control of the residual metabolic pathways are discussed.

The activities of the eight citric acid-cycle enzymes of rat bone-marrow cells were determined along with several other mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial enzymes. Four of the citric acid-cycle enzymes (aconitase, succinyl-CoA thiokinase, alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase) have closely similar low activities; two [isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD) and citrate synthase] have intermediate activities; the remaining two (malate dehydrogenase and fumarase) have high activities. The other enzymes surveyed also exhibited a spread of three orders of magnitude, the mitochondrial enzymes showing no less variation than the others.

The effects of chloramphenicol on S. cerevisiae and on a cytoplasmic respiratory-deficient mutant derived from the same strain are compared. In the normal yeast, high concentrations of chloramphenicol in the growth medium completely inhibit the formation of cytochromes a, a(3), b, and c(1) and partially inhibit succinate dehydrogenase formation, whereas they do not affect cytochrome c synthesis. This has been correlated with the marked reduction of mitochondrial cristae formation in the presence of the drug. In glucose-repressed normal yeast, chloramphenicol has little effect on the formation of outer mitochondrial membrane, or on the synthesis of malate dehydrogenase and fumarase. However, both these enzymes, as well as the number of mitochondrial profiles, are markedly decreased when glucose de-repressed yeast is grown in the presence of chloramphenicol. The antibiotic did not appear to affect the cytoplasmic respiratory-deficient mutant. The results have been interpreted to indicate that chloramphenicol inhibits the protein-synthesizing system characteristic of the mitochondria. Since the drug does not prevent the formation of cytochrome c, of several readily solubilized mitochondrial enzymes, or of outer mitochondrial membrane, it is suggested that these are synthesized by nonmitochondrial systems.

Acetate oxidation by sulphate was studied with desulfobacter postgatei. Cell extracts of the organism were found to contain high activities of the following enzymes: citrate synthase, aconitase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase and pyruvate synthase. It is concluded that acetate oxidation with sulphate in D. postgatei proceeds via the citric acid cycle with the synthesis of pyruvate from acetyl CoA and CO2 as an anaplerotic reaction. The apparent Ks for acetate oxidation by D. postgatei as determined in vivo was near 0.2 mM. The apparent Ks for acetate fermentation to methane and CO2 by methanosarcina barkeri was 3 mM. The significantly lower ks for acetate of the sulphate reducer explains why methane formation from acetate in natural habitats is apparently inhibited by sulphate.

We have investigated the potential role of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in controlling levels of enzymes of energy metabolism in primary cultures of rat skeletal muscle cells. Incubating myotubes with cholera toxin or forskolin (2 persistent activators of adenylate cyclase) significantly increased the levels of two enzymes of oxidative metabolism, fumarase and malate dehydrogenase. These enzymes were also increased (1.5- to 2.0-fold) by phosphodiesterase inhibitors (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, papaverine, MJ 1988, Ro 20-1724, or SQ 20009) and the cAMP derivatives: 8-bromo-cAMP or dibutyryl cAMP. In contrast two enzymes of glycolytic metabolism, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase, were not consistently affected by these agents. The results presented provide strong evidence that an increase in cAMP can lead to an increase in certain enzymes of oxidative energy metabolism.

The acids produced in broth culture by various species of oral haemophili and by stock strains of capsulated and other haemophili were identified and measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Succinic acid was the major acid end-product of all strains, with acetic acid also being regularly produced but in smaller amounts. A stock strain, Haemophilus parainfluenzae NCTC 4101, produced less succinic acid than other strains of haemophili. Strain NCTC 4101 possessed all the enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as previously reported, but in the other haemophili examined only succinic dehydrogenase, fumarase and malate dehydrogenase could be detected. No other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle were detected and isocitrate lyase, malate synthase and pyruvate carboxylase were also absent. Phosphoenolpyruvate-carboxylase was present in all strains. A partial tricarboxylic acid cycle and marked malate dehydrogenase activity appear to be characteristic of haemophili. The pathway to succinate in haemophili appears to be via carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxalacetate and thence via malate and fumarate. The results of tracer studies on a single oral strain of H. parainfluenzae using various labelled substrates were in keeping with this proposed metabolic pathway.

The sub-cellular localisation of enzymes has been defined by latency analysis, and fractionation by differential centrifugation, in cell-free extracts prepared from the mycelium of Aspergillus nidulans by growth in the presence of 2-deoxyglucose followed by treatment with a mixture of beta-glucuronidase, sulphatase and beta-glucanase and exposure to N2 cavitation at 5.2 PMa. In such extracts pyruvate carboxylase and NAD-dependent and NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenases are exclusively localised in the cytosol whereas all the other enzymes studied have sub-cellular localisation patterns similar to those described for mammalian liver. Electrophoretic analysis has established the presence of unique mitochondrial and cytosolic isoenzymes for many of the enzymes, e.g. NAD--malate dehydrogenase, NADP--isocitrate dehydrogenase, glutamate/oxaloacetate transaminase, fumarase, which show a marked extent of incomplete latency and the presence of significant activity in the mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions prepared by differential centrifugation. A novel method is described for detection of citrate synthase activity following electrophoresis of the cell-free extract. Application of this method confirms the absence of a unique cytosolic isoenzyme of citrate synthase and hence shows that citrate synthase activity detected in the soluble fraction results from damage to the mitochondria during isolation. A scheme is proposed on the basis of these data to describe the organisation of lipid and amino acid synthesis from glucose in an organism which possesses a cytosolic pyruvate carboxylase.

Different cross-linkers (10 mM) of varying specificity and arm length were found to cross-link mitochondria matrix proteins in situ in 2 min at pH 7.4. As seen by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis, the disappearance of individual protein bands was accompanied by concomitant appearance of polymeric aggregates that failed to enter the 4% spacer gel. The disorganization of the mitochondrial matrix infrastructure either by swelling or sonication of the mitochondria resulted in a decrease in the rate of cross-linking. Leakage of citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase and fumarase was found to be reduced when cross-linked mitochondria were made permeable with toluene. On lysing the cross-linked mitochondria, a major part of the matrix protein (75%) was found to sediment with the membrane fraction. The activities of citrate synthase malate dehydrogenase and fumarase in rat liver mitochondria were also found to increase in the percipitates with concomitant decrease in their activities in the soluble matrix fraction. These results indicate that the cross-linkers enters the mitochondria and cross-links matrix proteins including Krebs cycle enzymes either to the mitochondrial membranes, or to themselves resulting in very large molecular weight complexes. These results are interpreted to mean that in liver mitochondria, the Krebs cycle enzyme are preferentially located near the membrane.

Enzyme activities forming extracellular products from succinate, fumarate, and malate were examined using washed cell suspensions of Pseudomonas fluorescens from chemostat cultures. Membrane-associated enzyme activities (glucose, gluconate, and malate dehydrogenases), producing large accumulations of extracellular oxidation products in carbon-excess environments, have previously been found in P. fluorescens. Investigations carried out here have demonstrated the presence in this microorganism of a malic enzyme activity which produces extracellular pyruvate from malate in carbon-excess environments. Although the three membrane dehydrogenase enzymes decrease significantly in carbon-limited chemostat cultures, malic enzyme activity was found to increase fourfold under these conditions. The regulation of malate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme by malate or succinate was similar. Malate dehydrogenase increased and malic enzyme decreased in carbon-excess cultures. The opposite effect was observed in carbon-limited cultures. When pyruvate or glucose was used as the carbon source, malate dehydrogenase was regulated similarly by the available carbon concentration, but malic enzyme activity producing extracellular pyruvate was not detected. While large accumulations of extracellular oxalacetate and pyruvate were produced in malate-excess cultures, no extracellular oxidation products were detected in succinate-excess cultures. This may be explained by the lack of detectable activity for the conversion of added external succinate to extracellular fumarate and malate in cells from carbon-excess cultures. In cells from carbon-limited (malate or succinate) cultures, very active enzymes for the conversion of succinate to extracellular fumarate and malate were detected. Washed cell suspensions from these carbon-limited cultures rapidly oxidized added succinate to extracellular pyruvate through the sequential action of succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and malic enzyme. Succinate dehydrogenase and fumarase activities producing extracellular products were not detected in cells from chemostat cultures using pyruvate or glucose as the carbon source. Uptake activities for succinate, malate, and pyruvate also were found to increase in carbon-limited (malate or succinate) and decrease in carbon-excess cultures. The role of the membrane-associated enzymes forming different pathways for carbon dissimilation in both carbon-limited and carbon-excess environments is discussed.

Considerable variations were found in the in vitro effect of alloxan on mouse liver enzymes associated with the citric acid cycle. The following approximative alloxan concentrations induced 50% inhibition of enzyme activity: 10(-6)M for aconitase, 10(-4)M for NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinyl-CoA synthetase and fumarase, and 10(-3)M for citrate synthase and NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase were not inhibited by 10(-3)M alloxan. The inhibition of aconitase was competitive both when using mouse liver and purified porcine heart enzyme. The Ki values for the purified enzyme in the presence of 5 microM alloxan were 0.22 microM with citrate, 4.0 microM with cis-aconitate and 0.62 microM with isocitrate as substrate. The high sensitivity of aconitase for inhibition by alloxan probably plays a prominent role for the toxic effects of alloxan.
