The DPN-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase of pig heart is totally and irreversibly inactivated by 0.05 M potassium cyanate at pH 7.4 A plot of the rate constant versus cyanate concentration is not linear, but rather exhibits saturation kinetics, implying that cyanate may bind to the enzyme to give an enzyme-cyanate complex (K equal 0.125 M) prior to the covalent reaction. In the presence of manganous ion the addition of isocitrate protects the enzyme against cyanate inactivation, indicating that chemical modification occurs in the active site region of the enzyme. The dependence of the decrease of the rate constant for inactivation on the isocitrate concentration yields a dissociation constant for the enzyme-manganese-isocitrate complex which agrees with the Michaelis constant. The allosteric activator ADP, which lowers the Michaelis constant for isocitrate, does not itself significantly affect the cyanate reaction; however, it strikingly enhances the protection by isocitrate. The addition of the chelator EDTA essentially prevents protection by isocitrate and manganous ion, demonstrating the importance of the metal ion in this process. The substrate alpha-ketoglutarate and the coenzymes DPN and DPNH do not significantly affect the rate of modification of the enzymes by cyanate. Incubation of isocitrate dehydrogenase with 14C-labeled potassium cyanate leads to the incorporation of approximately 1 mol of radioactive cyanate per peptide chain concomitant with inactivation. Analysis of acid hydrolysates of the radioactive enzyme reveals that lysyl residues are the sole amino acids modified. These results suggest that cyanate, or isocyanic acid, may bind to the active site of this enzyme as an analogue of carbon dioxide and carbamylate a lysyl residue at the active site.

The 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase which was purified from porcine testicular microsomal fraction [Inano, H. and Tamaoki, B (1974) Eur. J. Biochem. 44, 13-23] catalyzed the reduction of androstenedione to testosterone with the accompanying oxidation of equimolar NADPH. For the oxido-reduction of the steroids, the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase preferred NADP(H) to NAD(h). Transhydrogenation from NADPH to NAD+ or NADH to NADP+ through the cyclic oxido-reduction of the steroids by the purified 17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase preparation was not spectrophotometrically detectable, because of selective preference of the testicular 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase against NADP(H). To examine stereospecific transfer of the hydrogen from NADPH to androstenedione by the purified 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the following tritiated cofactors were synthesized: [4-3-H]NADP+ was prepared by catalytic replacement from non-radioactive NADP+ and 3H2O in the presence of potassium cyanide. Then, [4-pro-R3H]NADPH was enzymatically synthesized from the [4-3H]NADP+ by glucose 6-phosphate and its dehydrogenase. On the other hand, [4-pro-S-3H]NADPH was prepared from the [4-3H]NADP+ by isocitrate and isocitrate dehydrogenase. When androstenedione was incubated with the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the presence of these stereospecifically 3H-labeled cofactors, only the tritium located at 4-pro-S position of the nicotinamide moiety of NADPH was transferred to testosterone. The location of the tritium in the testosterone molecule produced, 17alpha-position of the steroid, was assigned by the fact that the tritium of the testosterone remained in its molecule after acetylation, but was completely lost by oxidation.

The segmentation of the proximal tubules in the kidney of the female rat was studied by means of enzyme histochemical reactions and the results compared with those observed in male and recently described by Jacobsen and J0rgensen (1973 a). Reactions were performed for the following soluble, coezyme-dependent oxido-reductases: glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, NAD-as well as NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase, NADP-dependent, decarboxylating malate dehydrogenase, uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase. Measures were taken to reduce enzyme diffusion and eliminate interference from tissue tetrazolium reductases. Furthermore, reactions were performed for a number of less soluble or insoluble enzymes: glucose 6-phosphatase, mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and tetrazolium reductases. In the proximal tubules of the female rat all enzymes studied--except beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase--showed segmental differences, most of them clearly revealing three segments. Sex differences were found concerning all enzymes except uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. The most pronounced sex-related differences were seen in the third segment in which part the male rat showed highest activity in respect to tetrazolium reductases, NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and the female in respect to glucose 6-phosphatase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenases, and NADP-dependent, decarboxylating malate dehydrogenase. A few of the enzymes exhibited minor sex differences in the first two segments.

D-Garcinia acid (D-threo-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate), like D-isocitrate, has an alpha-DS-hydroxyl group and a beta-LS configuration of the second carboxyl group. The maximal velocity of pyridine nucleotide reduction with D-garcinia acid is 8 and 21% of D-threo-isocitrate with the DPN-linked and TPN-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase from bovine heart, respectively. The other stereoisomers of hydroxycitrate [L-garcinia acid, D- and L-hibiscus acid (D- and L-erythro-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate)] are inactive. DL-threo-Homoisocitrate (DL-threo-1-hydroxy-1,2,4-butanetricarboxylate) supports DPN+ reduction at 10-15% of the rate observed for isocitrate with the DPN-specific enzyme, but is not a substrate for TPN-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. The values of apparent S0.5 for total isocitrate and total garcinia acid are similar with both enzymes; the apparent S0.5 of total homoisocitrate is two- to threefold higher than that of total isocitrate with the DPN-linked enzyme. Enzymatic oxidative decarboxylation of garcinia acid and homoisocitrate leads to formation of alpha-keto-beta-hydroxyglutarate and alpha-ketoadipate, respectively. DL-Methylmalate (DL-1-hydroxy-2-methylsuccinate) is inactive as a substrate for either dehydrogenase as are the newly synthesized compounds: DL-threo-gamma-isocitrate amide (DL-threo-1-hydroxy-3-carbamy01,2-propanedicarboxylate), beta-methyl-DL-isocitrate (DL-1-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate), beta-methyl-DL-garcinia acid (DL-threo-1-hydroxyl-2-methoxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate), DL-1-hydroxyl-1,2,2-ethanetricarboxylate, and DL-1,4-dihydroxy-1,2-butanedicarboxylate.

Alpha-Methylisocitrate (3-hydroxy-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylate) is a potent inhibitor, competitive with isocitrate (1-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate), of the TPN-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase from bovine heart and rat liver; it does not inhibit the DPN-specific enzyme from these tissues. In the presence of magnesium ion, values of Kis for DL-alpha-methylisocitrate for purified bovine heart enzyme, rat liver cytosol, and rat liver mitochondrial extract were in the range of 0.1 muM to 0.3 muM. This compared to values of apparent Km for DL-isocitrate for the same tissue preparations of 14 muM to 20 muM. One of the DL isomer pairs of alpha-methylisocitrate was inactive; the observations suggest that it is threo-alpha-methylisocitrate which inhibits TPN-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. A method of synthesis of DL-threo-alpha-methylisocitric lactone (2-methyl-5-oxo-2,3-furandicarboxylic acid) from dimethyl trans-epoxymethylsuccinate and dimethylmalonate is described.

In order to obtain a quantitative estimate of the capacity of the pancreatic islets for provision of cytoplasmic acetyl-coenzyme A and for the turnover of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate and its reduced form (NADP+/NADPH), the following enzymes were assayed in islets taken from New Zealand Obese mice: adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8), malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.40), glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.42). In addition, the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD+) (EC 1.1.1.41) was determined. For comparative purposes the activities in exocrine pancreas, liver, heart muscle, kidney cortex and skeletal muscle were also determined. Specimens of pancreatic islets and the other tissues were microdissected from freeze-dried sections. In comparison with the other tissues, adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase was particularly active in the islets. The NADP+/NAPH-converting enzymes had activities, which suggested a rapid turnover of the islet NADP+/NADPH pool.

1. Rate sedimentation and isopycnic centrifugation were used to analyse the subcellular sites of enzymes in homogenates of goldfish intestinal mucosa. 2. The results allowed the following allocations to be made: carnitine acetyl transferase-mitochondrial and peroxisomal, xanthine dehydrogenase and NAD: alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase soluble phase, NADP: isocitrate dehydrogenase soluble phase and mitochondrial, and 2-naphthyl laurate hydrolase microsomal and/or brush border. 3. Histochemistry confirmed the use of alkaline phosphatase and 1-naphthyl acetate esterase as brush border and microsome markers respectively. 4. Urate oxidase, allantoinase, allantoicase, xanthine oxidase and glycollate/lactate oxidase, activities were undetectable, and 1-naphthyl palmitate hydrolase was present only as a contaminant from pancreas.

1. The contents of some intermediates of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and adenine nucleotides have been measured in the freeze-clamped locust flight muscle at rest and after 10s and 3min flight. The contents of glucose 6-phosphate, pyruvate, alanine and especially fructose bisphosphate and triose phosphates increased markedly upon flight. The content of acetyl-CoA is decreased after 3min flight whereas that of acetylcarnitine is decreased markedly after 10s flight, but returns towards the resting value after 3min flight. The content of citrate is markedly decreased after both 10s and 3min flight, whereas that of isocitrate is changed very little after 10s and is increased by 50% after 3min. The content of oxaloacetate is very low in insect flight muscle and hence it was measured by a sensitive radiochemical assay. The content of oxaloacetate increased about 2-fold after 3min flight. A similar change was observed in the content of malate. The content of ATP decreased about 15%, whereas those of ADP and AMP increased about 2-fold after 3min flight. 2. Calculations based on O(2) uptake of the intact insect indicate that the rate of the citric acid cycle must be increased >100-fold during flight. Consequently, if citrate synthase catalyses a non-equilibrium reaction, the activity of the enzyme must increase >100-fold during flight. However, changes in the concentrations of possible regulators of citrate synthase, oxaloacetate, acetyl-CoA and citrate (which is an allosteric inhibitor), are not sufficient to account for this change in activity. It is concluded that there may be much larger changes in the free concentration of oxaloacetate than are indicated by the changes in the total content of this metabolite or that other unknown factors must play an additional role in the regulation of citrate synthase activity. 3. The increased content of oxaloacetate could be produced via pyruvate carboxylase, which may be stimulated during the early stages of flight by the increased concentration of pyruvate. 4. The decreases in the concentrations of citrate and alpha-oxoglutarate indicate that isocitrate dehydrogenase and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase may be stimulated by factors other than their pathway substrates during the early stages of flight. 5. Calculated mitochondrial and cytosolic NAD(+)/NADH ratios are both increased upon flight. The change in the mitochondrial ratio indicates the importance of the intramitochondrial ATP/ADP concentration ratio in the regulation of the rate of electron transfer in this muscle.

Cooling of rats down to the rectal temperature of 33--35 degrees without the use of narcotic and neuroplegic drugs did not cause distinct alterations in activity of the oxidative enzymes of tricarboxylic acid cycle--isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate-, succinate- and pyruvate dehydrogenases in brain tissue. At the same time, inhibition of the activity of these dehydrogenases occurred in profound hypothermia (cooling to 19--20 degrees). In this case the activity of succinate dehydrogenase was decreased less distinctly as compared with the activity of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases. Succinic acid appears to be an especially important substrate for oxidation in brain of the chilled rats.

Spinal ganlia of a 9-day chick embryo were cultivated by the method of "floating rafts" in common medium (control) and in the medium containing amizyl (100 microgram/ml) or a neuregrowth factor (50 microgram/ml). With the action of amizyl there proved to be an increase in the number of surviving neurons; the majority of these neurons contained monoaminoxidase; there was a rise of NAD-diaphorase activity, and, to a lesser extent, of lactic dehydrogenase and isocitric dehydrogenase activities. The neurogrowth factor caused an increase in the number of nerve cells with acetylcholinesterase; there was an elevation of NAD-diaphorase and some rise of malic dehydrogenase activities; the activity of lactic dehydrogenase became maximal; as to succinic dehydrogenase--its activity was somewhat suppressed.
