In contrast to other reports, it is found that the sheep has approximately as much enzyme variation as man. Most of the genetically interpretable enzyme variation in heart, liver, kidney and muscle from 52 sheep (Merinos or Merino crosses) is in the NADP-dependent dehydrogenases [two 'malic enzymes' and the supernatant isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+)] and in the esterases. Ten different loci for NAD-dependent dehydrogenases are electrophoretically monomorphic, as are five different NADH diaphorases from heart muscle and 15 different major proteins from skeletal muscle. It is highly statistically significant that NADP-dependent dehydrogenases and esterases are polymorphic but representatives of several other major classes of enzymes are not. The physiological significance of this polymorphism may be related to the role of these enzymes in growth and detoxication, sheep having been selected by man for faster growth, of wool or of carcass, and for grazing a wide variety of plants.

Activity of isocitric dehydrogenase (isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+); EC 1.1.1.42) in bacteroids is highest at the time of maximum nitrogen fixation. It is likely that isocitric dehydrogenase is the source of reductant for dinitrogen fixation.

1. 2-Oxoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate and citrate, cis-aconitate and isocitrate stimulate conversion of cholesterol to progesterone in human placental mitochondria. 2. The stimulatory effect of dicarboxylic and tricarboxylic acids depends on the activity of malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.40) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.42), respectively.

Activities of glucosephosphate isomerase, lactate dehydrogenase, and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase were significantly elevated in breast cancer specimens from patients who responded favorably to combination cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens compared with those in carcinomas from patients failing to respond to the same chemotherapy. Presence of estrogen receptors and clinical response to hormonal therapy were also evaluated in neoplasms from these patients. The data suggest that measurement of the enzyme profile, along with estrogen receptor levels, may be useful in selecting a mode of therapy for patients with advanced disease.

The occurrence and levels of activity of various enzymes of carbohydrate catabolism in culture forms (promastigotes) of 4 human species of Leishmania (L. brasiliensis, L. donovani, L. mexicana, and L. tropica) were compared. These organisms possess enzymes of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway but lack lactate dehydrogenase. No evidence could be found for the production of lactic acid by growing cultures and lactic acid could not be detected either in cell-free preparations or after incubation of cell-free extracts with pyruvate and NADH under appropriate conditions. All 4 species possess alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate phosphatase which together could regenerate NAD, thus compensating for the absence of lactate dehydrogenase. The oxidative and nonoxidative reactions of the hexose monophosphate pathway are present in all 4 species. Cell-free extracts have pyruvate dehydrogenase activity which allows the entry of pyruvate into and its subsequent oxidation through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. All enzymes of this cycle, including a thiamine pyrophosphate dependent alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, are present. Both NAD and NADP-linked malate dehydrogenase activities are present. The isocitrate dehydrogenase is NADP specific. There is an active glutamate dehydrogenase which could compete with alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase for the common substrate (alpha-ketoglutarate). Replenishment of C4 acids is accomplished by heterotrophic CO2 fixation catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase. All 4 species have high levels of NADH oxidase activity. Several enzymes thus far not found in any species of Leishmania have been demonstrated. These are: phosphoglucose isomerase, triose phosphate isomerase, fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, enolase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate phosphatase, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, citrate synthase, aconitase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and NADH oxidase.

The activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP) and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase have been investigated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown in a variety of aerobic and hypoxic conditions, the latter including oxygen deprivation, high glucose concentration, addition of inhibitors of mitochondrial protein synthesis, respiratory inhibition by azide, and impaired respiration mutants. All hypoxic conditions led to a marked decrease of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and significant decreases of the two isocitrate dehydrogenases. According to its kinetic properties, the NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase will not be operative in hypoxia "in vivo". From these and other related facts it is concluded that hypoxic conditions in yeast generally lead to a splitting of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and that glutamate synthesis in these conditions takes place through the coupling of the NADP-linked isocitrate and glutamate dehydrogenases.

1. The effects of protein concentration and ionic strength on the adsorption of the individual glycolytic enzymes to F-actin and F-actin--trypomyosin--troponin have been studied. 2. Appreciable association was demonstrated under conditions of physiological ionic strength and high protein concentration, and tropomyosin--troponin established as an important and generalized component of these interactions. 3. Phosphofructokinase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase were strongly bound under these conditions, while triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and hexokinase displayed less adsorption to the structural proteins. 4. The influence of a number of parameters on the adsorption phenomena was examined. Ca2+ and fructose 1,6-diphosphate increased the adsorption of aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase, while decreasing the adsorption of the enzymes of the constant-proportion group. 5. Of the other major enzymic components of skeletal muscle, creatine kinase, adenylate kinase and malate dehydrogenase showed no adsorption to F-actin--tropomyosin--troponin under the experimental conditions. Some adsorption was evident, however, in the case of aspartate aminotransferase, (NADP) isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase. 6. These results have been discussed in relation to their functional significance and the roles of enzyme compartmentation in the cell.

The effects of a 500 mug injection of T3 on the renal handling of citrate by the albino rat was studied by measuring citrate synthase activity, NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase activity, and plasma, kidney, and urine citrate concentrations 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hr after injection. Kidney citrate synthase activity of the T3-injected rats was significantly lower than the controls in the 24- and 36-hr treatment groups, while NADP-IDH activity was significantly lowered only in the 36-hr treatment group. The injection of T3 resulted in hypercitricemia in the 12-, 18-, and 48-hr experimental animals while there was no significant change in citrate between the control values and treated values in the 24- and 36-hr experiments. There was no significant change in renal citrate levels in any of the treatment groups and hypercitrauria was not observed. The results of the present study suggest that T3 can control citrate utilization by increasing the levels of circulating citrate and then increasing the utilization of citrate by the kidney. This is facilitated by a decrease in NADP-IDH activity resulting in a decrease in biosynthesis and a decrease in citrate synthase activity resulting in a decrease in FFA metabolism. It is proposed that this system functions in providing fuel (citrate) for the increased Krebs cycle flux occurring in hyperthyroidism.

Aqueous humour is produced by ultrafiltration (30%) and active ion transport (70%) predominantly achieved by nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells. They need chemical energy supplied by intracellular metabolisms. Suspensions of isolated ciliary epithelial cells and ciliary cell layers prepared from single rabbit eyes have been assayed for activities of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, NAD- and NADP-depending isocitrate dehydrogenase. Levels of enzyme activity were found to be higher in the nonpigmented cell type. Enzyme activity of cell layers exceeded those of isolated cells for technical reasons. By comparing ciliary epithelial enzyme patterns to those of different tissues it may be deduced that ciliary epithelium draws its energy chiefly from pentosephosphate and citric cycle. High levels of lactate dehydrogenase activity suggest special functions of this in enzyme in aqueous formation.

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus contains two forms of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases differing, among others, by their molecular weights and regulatory properties. The regulation of the high-molecular form of isocitrate dehydrogenase and of isocitrate lyase by organic acids, either belonging or related to the citrate and glyoxalate cycle, is investigated. While alpha-ketoglutarate and oxalacetate competitively inhibit the isocitrate dehydrogenase against Ds-isocitrate, glyoxylate and pyruvate were found to increase Vmax and to lower the KM value for Ds-isocitrate and NADP+. Simultaneous addition of oxalacetate and glyoxylate (not, however, addition of the nonenzymatically formed condensation product of both compound) nullified the activation of isocitrate dehydrogenase by glyoxylate, and potentiates the inhibitory effect of oxalacetate. Alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, and phosphoenolpyruvate inhibit the isocitrate lyase in a noncompetitive fashion against DS-isocitrate; L-malate, oxalacetate and glyoxylate inhibit competitively. The intermediates of the citrate and glyoxylate cycle afford additive inhibition of the isocitrate lyase. The importance of organic acids of the citrate and glyoxylate cycle and of phosphoenolpyruvate for the regulation of the citrate and glyoxylate cycle at the level of isocitrate dehydrogenase and isocitrate lyase is discussed.
