The effect of a single interaperitoneal injection (6 mg/kg body weight) of aflatoxin B1 in propylene glycol on pyridine nucleotides and NDP linked dehydrogenases was studied 24 h after administration of the toxin. The liver showed a decrease in total proteins and pyridine nucleotides though levels of NADP and NADPH remained unchanged. Levels of NAD and NADH were decreased. The activities of hepatic of hwpRIX of hepatic malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) were not altered though ICDH showed an increase when expressed on protein basis. However, there was a significance decrease in the activity of combined HMP dehydrogenases. Adipose tissue showed increased activities of the HMP dehydrogenasess.

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.

Azotobacter beijerinckii was grown in ammonia-free glucose/mineral salts media in chemostat culture under oxygen or nitrogen limitation. Selected enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate metabolism were monitored in relation to oxygen supply for both steady and transition states. Two dissolved oxygen concentrations were used for the nitrogen-limited steady state to investigate the possible effects of respiratory protection of nitrogenase on these enzymes. The levels of NADH oxidase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase increased markedly on relaxation of oxygen limitation while pyruvate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase were relatively unaffected. beta-Ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase levels decreased as oxygen limitation was relaxed. Respiratory activity, as measured by the QO2 value, increased with oxygen supply rate. Imposition of oxygen limitation on a nitrogen-limited culture caused an immediate increase in the NADH/NAD ratio but this rapidly readjusted to its previous steady-state value. These changes are discussed in relation to respiratory protection of nitrogenase and poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate metabolism in A. beijerinckii.

The effect of ionic strength and pH on the release of some enzymes of the matrix of peroxisomes in rat's liver was studied. Catalase, L ALpha-hydroxy acid oxidase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase were easily released from the particles during their lysis and treatment with 0.16 M KCl, whereas urate oxidase, NADH cytochrome c reductase and D-amino acid oxidase were not solubilized. After the solubilization of peroxisomal membrane by 0.2% Triton X-100, the remaining core contained about 50% amino acid oxidase activity, and had 1.28--1.30 g/cm3 density. These results suggest that D-amino acid oxidase associates with urate oxidase in the peroxisomal core.

The contributions of NAD-specific and NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenases to isocitrate oxidation in isolated intact rat liver mitochondria were examined using DL-threo-alpha-methylisocitrate (3-hydroxy-1,2,3-butanetricarboxylate) to specifically inhibit flux through NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase. Under a range of conditions tested with respiring mitochondria, the rate of isocitrate oxidation was decreased by about 20--40% by inhibition of NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase, and matrix NADP became more oxidized. (a) For mitochondria incubated with externally added DL-isocitrate and citrate, the rate of isocitrate oxidation obtained by extrapolation to infinite alpha-methylisocitrate concentration was approximately 70% of the uninhibited rate in both state 3 and state 4. (b) With pyruvate plus malate added as substrates of citric acid cycle oxidation and isocitrate generated intramitochondrially, a concentration of alpha-methylisocitrate (400 microM) sufficient for 99.99% inhibition of NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibited isocitrate oxidation in states 4 and 3 by 21 +/- 6% and 19 +/- 11% (mean +/- SEM), respectively. (c) With externally added isocitrate and citrate, the addition of NH4Cl increased isocitrate oxidation by 3--4-fold, decreased NADPH levels by 30--40% and 2-oxoglutarate accumulation by about 40%. The further addition of 600 microM alpha-methylisocitrate decreased the NH4Cl-stimulated isocitrate oxidation by about 40% and decreased NADPH to about 30% of the level prevailing in the absence of NH4Cl; nevertheless, the rate of isocitrate oxidation was still twice as large in the presence of NH4Cl and alpha-methylisocitrate as in their absence. Experiments were also performed with intact mitochondria incubated with respiratory inhibitors to determine additional factors which might affect the flux through the two isocitrate dehydrogenases. (a) In the coupled reduction of acetoacetate by isocitrate, where the rate of reoxidation of reduced pyridine nucleotides is limited by NAD-specific 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, 85--100% of the rate of 3-hydroxybutyrate formation was retained in the presence of 400--900 microM alpha-methylisocitrate. (b) In a system where the rate of isocitrate oxidation is limited by the rate of NADPH reoxidation by glutathione reductase, the rate of glutathione reduction extrapolated to infinite alpha-methylisocitrate concentration was from 20--40% of the uninhibited rate. (c) In the coupled synthesis of glutamate from isocitrate and NH4Cl, where the reoxidation of NADPH and NADH can occur via glutamate dehydrogenase, the rate of glutamate production extrapolated to infinite alpha-methylisocitrate concentration was about 60% of the uninhibited rate.

1. The effects of Ca2+ (mainly by using EGTA buffers), pH, ATP and ADP on the activity of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex from pig heart were explored. 2. Ca2+ (about 30 micrometer) resulted in a decrease in the apparent Km for 2-oxoglutarate from 2.1 to 0.16 mM (at pH 7) without altering the maximal velocity. At 0.1 mM-oxoglutarate there was a 4--5-fold activation by Ca2+, with an apparent Km for Ca2+ of 1.2 micrometer. A similar activation was also observed with Sr2+ (Km 15.1 micrometer), but not wised markedly from pH 7.4 TO 6.6. The effects of Ca2+ remained evident over this pH range. 4. In the presence of Mg2+, ATP resulted in a marked increase in the apparent Km for oxoglutarate, whereas ADP greatly decreased thisp arameter. The concentrations of adenine nucleotide required for half-maximal effects were about 10 micrometer in each case. 5. The effects of the adenine nucleotides and Ca2+ on the apparent Km for oxoglutarate appeared to be essentially independent of each other, reversible, and demonstrable in the presence of end product inhibition by NADH and obtained. 6. Effects similar to those described above were also observed on the activity of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase from rat heart and brown adipose tissue. 7. We discuss the mechanisms controlling this enzyme's activity and compare these regulatory features with those of NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase and the pyruvate dehydrogenase system, which are also sensitive to Ca2+ and adenine nucleotides.

Near-ultraviolet irradiation of actively growing yeast cells leads to cell death by two distinct mechanisms. The first type of cell death is evident after low doses of near-ultraviolet light (3 times 10-4 ergs times mm- minus 2) and is due to a reversible inactivation of the respiratory capacity of the cell. In studies with yeast mitochondrial membranes the quinones were identified as the site of inactivation by determining the relative levels of the following oxidase activities after irradiation: exogenous NADH, endogenous NADH (via isocitrate dehydrogenase), succinate, and D-lactate oxidases. A second type of cell death is caused after high doses (1.8 times 10-5 ergs times mm- minus 2) and is irreversible. The mechanism of this inactivation is unknown.

The objective of this investigation was to find out whether vitamin E deficiency, apart from influencing the lipid component of cellular membranes, also influences the protein component. For that purpose a number of membrane-bound enzymes in the liver of the Pekin duckling were histochemically, cytochemically, and biochemically examined. Furthermore, cells, cellular membranes, and protein particles in membranes were morphometrically investigated. Histochemically five membrane-bound enzymes appeared to be stimulated in vitamin E deficiency: 5'-nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP), tetrazolium reductase (NADH), and tetrazolium reductase (NADPH). 5'-Nucleotidase and glucose-6-phosphatase were also investigated cytochemically and biochemically. The cytochemical localization of these enzymes was identical in control and vitamin E-deficient ducklings. Biochemically, a stimulation of these two enzymes also could be demonstrated. The increase per milligram of DNA appeared to be largest whereas the increase per milligram of protein, per milligram of phospholipid, and per milligram of RNA was only half of the increase per milligram of DNA. This can be explained by the 30 per cent increase of the cell volume in vitamin E deficiency leading to an increase of protein, phospholipid, and RNA per cell. The thickness of membranes and the diameter of protein particles in membranes were measured in liver parenchymal cells. In vitamin E deficiency the thickness of the outer mitochondrial membrane and the diameter of protein particles in this membrane were smaller whereas the thickness of the endoplasmic reticular membrane was larger. The increase of the activities of mitochondrial and microsomal enzymes and the decrease of the thickness of the outer mitochondrial membrane and of its protein particles are interpreted to be the result of the influence of free radicals on membranes with electron transport functions. The increase of 5'-nucleotidase activity in the plasma membrane is likely to have a different cause; it may be related to the transport of nucleotides across this membrane.

Palmitoyl-L carnitine decreases the oxidation of isocitrate in rat liver mitochondria in state 3 by 25-30%. Palmitoyl-L-carnitine acts as an additional substrate raising the rate of oxidative phosphorylation, NAD reduction and ATP/ADP ratio in mitochondria. Palmitoyl-CoA added to mitochondria oxidizing isocitrate in state 3 causes a strong inhibition of isocitrate oxidation and of oxidative phosphorylation and a considerable elevation of intramitochondrial NADH/NAD and ATP/ADP ratios. The effect of palmitoyl-CoA is dependent on its concentration and is competitive with ADP. Carnitine restores only oxidative phosphorylation, but the oxidation of isocitrate remains inhibited. Evidence is presented that the transport of isocitrate is not affected by palmitoyl-CoA is due to the inhibition of adenine nucleotide translocation. The kinetic studies of NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase in the soluble fraction of sonicated mitochondria revealed that the enzyme is very sensitive towards the inhibition by NADH and only very slightly affected by ATP (Ki for NADH and ATP are 0.017 and 3.6 mM respectively). On the basis of the kinetic data the relative contribution of NADH and ATP in the inhibition of isocitrate oxidation by fatty acids was calculated. It is concluded that the inhibition of isocitrate oxidation caused by palmitoyl-L-carnitine and palmitoyl-CoA is primarily due to the increased reduction of NAD, whereas the increase of ATP/ADP ratio is much less important.

The rate of inactivation of pig heart DPN-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase by 2,4-pentanedione is pseudo-first-order and linearly dependent on reagent concentration. Isocitrate incombination with manganous ion can prevent inactivation, and a dissociation constant (KIC) for the enzyme-isocitrate complex can be calculated which is similar in magnitude to the Km for isocitrate under the same conditions. Although neither the cofactor,DPN, nor the allosteric activator, ADP, prevents inactivation by reagent, ADP lowers both KIC and Km to the same extent. These data suggest that the reagent may be reacting with residues within a binding site for manganeous-isocitrate. DPNH accelerates the inactivation and also enhances protection by isocitrate, lowering KIC by a factor of 20. Because ADP does not prevent the DPNH rate enhancement, it is unlikely that the two nucleotides compete for identical binding sites. Reaction with 2,4-pentanedione thus provides a probe of the mode of ligand interaction with the enzyme. Inactivation appears to result from the reaction of 2,4-pentanedione with lysyl residues to form enamines. The occurrence of a new absorbance band during inactivation and the isolation by gel filtration of enzyme with an absorbance peak at 312 nm are consistent with enamine formation. Hydroxylamine, which abolishes the 312-nm peak, also causes appreciable reactivation of the enzyme. By use of [2,4-14C]-2,4-pentanedione, it was established that reaction of an average of no more than 3 lysines of the 26 per peptide chain resulted in complete inactivation; and an average of only 2 lysines react when enzymatic activity is retained in the presence of 50 mM isocitrate. Reaction with arginine was excluded by the unchanged amino acid composition of modified enzyme. These data suggest that formation of an enamine of possibly 1, and certainly no more than 3, lysine residue(s) in the catalytic center of the enzyme is responsible for inactivation by 2,4-pentanedione.
