Mitochondrial preparations isolated from rat ventral prostate were capable of oxidizing isocitrate by way of NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH) and NAD-IDH. NAD-IDH activity required ADP for activation. The pH responses for NAD-IDH and NADP-IDH were quite different. The results indicated that two different enzymes were involved in the NAD- and NADP-IDH activities. Indirect evidence indicated that NADPH-NAD transhydrogenase activity might also be involved in the mitochondrial pathway for isocitrate oxidation. NADP-IDH activity was significantly greater than NAD-IDH activity. The oxidation of isocitrate through IDH activity was coupled to the cytochrome system by NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductase activities. Citrate, via isocitrate, oxidation proceeded at a much slower rate suggesting that aconitase activity could be limiting in the oxidation of citrate. In comparison to other tissues, the prostate oxidative enzyme activities are considerably lower. The results suggest that the accumulation of high prostate citrate levels is not due to a limitation imposed by a lack of IDH activity in prostate mitochondria.

This study attempted to detect evidence of mitochondrial terminal respiratory components in matrix vesicles isolated from rachitic rat tibial epiphyseal plates. Biochemical assays for cytochrome c oxidase, NAD isocitrate dehydrogenase, NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase were negative. Polarimetric determinations revealed that the addition of succinate to matrix vesicles in suspension did not cause any increase in oxygen utilization. Spectrophotometric tracings of deoxycholate-solubilized matrix vesicles showed no characteristic absorption peaks or maxima belonging to any of the cytochrome complex components. Attempts to prepare pyridine hemochromes of cytochrome prosthetic groups from the matrix vesicles were also unsuccessful. The above results indicate that key components of mitochondrial respiratory systems are not detectable in rachitic matrix vesicles. The results are compatible with the interpretation that such vesicles are not derived from mitochondria.

Changes in oxidative metabolism of hepatopancreas and muscle tissues of penaeid prawn, Metapenaeus monoceros was studied, following its exposure to selected organophosphorous insecticides phosphamidon, dichlorovos and methylparathion. The OPI are found to inhibit the activity levels of acetylcholinesterase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and cytochrome-c-oxidase and cause accumulation of acetylcholine in the hepatopancreas and muscle tissues. These changes in the activity levels of selected oxidative enzymes during insecticide exposure in these tissues of prawn indicates the shift in the metabolic emphasis from aerobic to anaerobic conditions and is interpreted as a functional adaptation to insecticide induced metabolic stress. These observed changes at cellular level pave way for successful survival of prawns in insecticide polluted environ.

During operation, biopsies from the gastrocnemius muscle and, in some cases, from the sartorius muscle were taken from 32 patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease and from 5 subjects with normal peripheral circulation. In patients with inadequate circulation only during exercise, when compared with the control group, increased activities of enzymes involved in oxidative metabolism (malate dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrome C oxidase, creatine kinase), in amino acid metabolism (asparate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase), and in anaerobic glycoysis (lactate dehydrogenase) were found. In patients with circulatory disturbances that manifested themselves already at rest, enzyme activities were, with the exception of LDH, lower than those of patients with exclusively exercise-related insufficiency. By means of intraindividual comparisons with the corresponding enzyme activities in the sartorius muscle, the author was able to show that the changes found were not simply the result of differences in training conditions. The diminished concentrations of energy-rich phosphate are an expression of the anaerobic metabolic state in patients with inadequate circulation at rest. It is concluded that chronic ischemia of muscle leads to changes in the energy metabolism of the cell. In the presence of more nearly adequate circulation at rest, the portion of oxidative potential of the total energy metabolism increases. In contrast, if there is an inadequate circulation at rest, the mainly anaerobic glycolysis becomes quantitatively predominant.

The activities of the following enzymes in soybean roots were determined at early times after infection of the roots with zoospores of an incompatible or a compatible race of Phytophthora megasperma f.sp. glycinea: dimethylallyl-diphosphate : 3,6a,9-trihydroxypterocarpan dimethylallyltransferase (prenyltransferase), an enzyme specific for glyceollin biosynthesis; NADPH-cytochrome reductase and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase, enzymes related to the glyceollin pathway; and isocitrate dehydrogenase. Already at 4 h after infection there was a higher activity of the prenyltransferase in the incompatible interaction than in the compatible interaction, and enzyme activity in the incompatible interaction increased considerably between 4 and 8 h after infection. In the compatible interaction prenyltransferase activity was only slightly higher than in uninfected roots. The activity of the other enzymes in infected roots was not significantly different from that in the uninfected roots. No qualitative differences could be detected between the two-dimensional patterns of unlabelled proteins or proteins labelled with L-[35S]methionine of infected and uninfected roots at early times after infection. We conclude from these and earlier results (A. Bonhoff et al. (1986) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 246, 149-154) that infection of the soybean roots with an incompatible race of the fungus leads to selective induction of the phytoalexin pathway and presumably to induction of other as yet unknown defense mechanisms.

Three classes of cytochrome a-deficient mutants of Bacillus subtilis have been found to be asporogenic or oligosporogenic. All three classes showed declines in adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) concentrations during early sporulation, at a time when ATP levels in wild-type strains are constant. Class III mutants were found to be deficient in aconitase and isocitric dehydrogenase, and showed reduced maximum growth in nutrient sporulation medium. These mutants also suffered the most rapid decline in ATP concentration in early sporulation, and exhibited neither the biphasic oxygen consumption curve nor the increase in pH normally observed at the end of logarithmic growth in nutrient sporulation medium. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase activities of purified membrane preparations were approximately normal for mutants in all classes, except for two of the class II mutants and one class III mutant. Neither cytochrome a nor cytochrome c appears to be an obligatory intermediate in cyanide-sensitive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidation in B. subtilis.

By using the continuous culture technique, the transition from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis and its effect on a number of enzymes has been investigated in Escherichia coli K-12. A decrease in the oxygen partial pressure below 28.0 mm of Hg resulted firstly in an increase of the respiratory enzymes (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide [NADH] oxidase, 2.53-fold; succinic dehydrogenase, 1.4-fold; cytochrome b(1), 3.91-fold; and cytochrome a(2), 2.45-fold) before the electron transport system gradually collapsed as cytochrome a(2), followed by cytochrome b(1), succinic dehydrogenase, and finally NADH oxidase decreased in activity. The change from respiration to fermentation was initiated well before the oxygen tension reached zero by the increase in levels of fructose diphosphate-aldolase, glucose 6-phosphate, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases and a decrease in 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. Whem the dissolved oxygen tension reached zero, dry weight and CO(2) formation together with isocitrate dehydrogenase decreased, whereas acid production and phosphofructokinase synthesis started to increase. Enzymatic investigations revealed that the kinetics of the enzyme phosphofructokinase from strict aerobic cultures (6.9 ppm oxygen in solution) was adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-insensitive, whereas the same enzyme from anaerobic cultures was ATP-sensitive. A mechanism is proposed for the change from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis together with the occurring change in glucose regulation.

The antifungal antibiotic flavensomycin inhibited the oxidation of amino acids and of glucose by Penicillium oxalicum. The compound inhibited l-amino acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.2) activity for l-leucine and l-phenylalanine, and also d-amino acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.3) in the oxidation for dl-alanine. The addition of flavin adenine dinucleotide, which is a cofactor for this enzyme, antagonized the action of the antibiotic. Glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4) was also inhibited. The antibiotic inhibited the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH(2)) cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.1) as well as the much slower nonenzymatic reduction of this cytochrome by the nucleotide. Reduced cytochrome c was also oxidized nonenzymatically by flavensomycin. The antibiotic completely inhibited the action of rabbit muscle lactic dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) in promoting the reduction of pyruvate by NADH(2) but only slightly affected the reverse reaction. Alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) was also similarly inhibited. Flavensomycin prevented the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate by isocitrate in the presence of isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42). The hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1)-catalyzed phosphorylation of glucose, in which the adenosine triphosphate acts as a phosphate donor, was only slightly affected. Flavensomycin also inhibited the action of yeast lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.2.3) on the reduction of cytochrome c. High concentrations of cytochrome c were antagonistic to this reaction. The results point to an interference with enzymatically controlled hydrogen or electron transfer as the mechanism of the antifungal activity of flavensomycin.

Mitochondria were prepared from the subendocardial and subepicardial layers of the canine left ventricle. The oxidation rates of palmitate, palmitoyl carnitine and pyruvate of the mitochondria obtained from the two cardiac layers were measured. The cytochrome content and the specific activities of different beta oxidation and Krebs cycle enzymes were also measured in the two mitochondrial populations. Mitochondria isolated from the ENDO layer showed significantly higher oxidation rates than mitochondria from the EPI layer for all the three substrates. No statistically significant differences in cytochrome c+c1 and a+a3 content were found in mitochondria isolated from the two regions. No significant transmural differences were found in fatty acyl CoA, L-3-hydroxy fatty acyl CoA, succinic and malic dehydrogenase specific activities, whilst isocitric dehydrogenase (NADP) specific activity was significantly higher in mitochondria isolated from the inner layer. In conclusion, the mitochondria isolated from the inner left ventricular layer of the canine heart show a higher oxidative capacity than subepicardial mitochondria. This difference could partly be explained by the higher specific activity of isocitric dehydrogenase in this layer. These properties of subendocardial mitochondria could represent a metabolic support for the greater contractile performance of this layer.

The pregnant rats were treated with formaldehyde (0.5 mg/kg daily per os) during whole period of pregnancy. The activity of cytochrome-c-oxidase, malate dehydrogenase, nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, H(+)-ATPase, glutamate dehydrogenase, NAD- and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and content of protein in liver celts of offsprings (newborns, 2 weeks age and 2 months age) were studied. It was shown differences in development enzyme systems of control and experimental animals during ontogenesis.
