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.

Closed aorta working hearts perfused with 1 mM pyruvate were subjected to a 4-fold increase in work load by raising the left atrial filling pressure. Citric acid cycle flux, pyruvate uptake, and oxygen consumption rose 3-fold when cardiac output was increased. In the first 40 sec after the transition tissue glutamate and citrate fell by 22 and 45%, respectively, and there were reciprocal decreases in malate and aspartate. The ratio of creatine phosphate/creatine declined by 50% within 30 sec, with a corresponding increase in inorganic phosphate, but the fall in the ATP/ADP ratio was only 10%. During the first 10 sec the surface fluorescence from cardiac pyridine nucleotides fell by 30% and this change was synchronous with a sharp decline in the calculated adenine nucleotide phosphate potential. This suggests that heart mitochondrial respiration is controlled by the cytosolic phosphate potential, and that a state 4 to state 3 transition occurs when cardiac output is increased. Apparent disequilbrium of creatine phosphokinase can be explained by the compartmentation of most of the cardiac ADP within the mitochondria. Citric acid cycle flux was coordinated by activational interactions at citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, but a transient imbalance between the individual cycle steps leads to a sharp peak of lactate production shortly after the work transition.

Levels of several intermediary metabolites were measured in cells grown in acetate medium in order to test the hypothesis that the glyoxylate cycle is repressed by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). Wild-type cells had less PEP than either isocitrate dehydrogenase - deficient cells (which had greater isocitrate lyase activity than the wild type) or isocitrate dehydrogenase - deficient, citrate synthase-deficient cells (which are poorly inducible). Thus induction of the glyoxylate cycle is more complicated than a simple function of PEP concentration. No correlation between enzyme activity and the level of oxaloacetate, pyruvate, or citrate was found either. Citrate was synthesized in citrate synthase-deficient mutants, possibly via citrate lyase.

Experiments were conducted with immature rats fed L-amino acid purified diets varying in total N and arginine. The experiments demonstrated that total N intake was the factor responsible for increased orotic acid excretion during arginine deficiency. Increased orotic acid excretion was accompanied by increased liver transaminase activities and increased liver concentrations of NH4-N and glutamine. Arginine requirements for growth and normal metabolite excretion increased as dietary N was increased. Accompanying elevated urinary citrate during N deprivation and arginine deficiency was a depression of liver isocitrate dehydrogenase activity. Citrate excretion was lower if arginine was fed as the HCl compared to the free base. During a partial or total arginine deficiency citrate excretion was elevated at varying dietary N concentrations. Urinary pH was not significantly changed by level of dietary N or arginine.

The present results suggest that the enzyme modifier citrate and the substrate isocitrate are bound at different sites on yeast NAD-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase and that citrate diminishes the binding of the positive effector 5'-AMP, thereby causing a decreased rate of enzyme catalysis. This interpretation differs from the earlier proposal that citrate can replace isocitrate at an activator site on the enzyme and can cause inhibition by binding at its catalytic site [Atkinson et al. (1965) J. Biol. Chem. 240, 2682]. The present proposal is supported by the following observations: At constant subsaturating levels of isocitrate, NAD+, and Mg2+ without AMP, up to 10 mM citrate was an activator and not an inhibitor. Citrate decreased velocity for AMP-activated enzyme; however, with increasing citrate the specific activity with AMP asymptotically approached but did not decrease below the level of the enzyme maximally activated by citrate in the absence of AMP. When added singly, AMP decreased S0.5 for isocitrate without changing the Hill number (n), whereas citrate lowered n without changing S0.5 for isocitrate. The difference in action of these modifiers indicated that they were bound at separate sites on the enzyme. The binding of citrate appeared to cause a conformational change in the protein that lowered the enzyme's affinity for AMP. This was consistent with the findings that citrate (or the citrate agonist fluorocitrate) (i) resulted in an increase in S0.5 for isocitrate with the AMP-activated enzyme and (ii) decreased binding of the positive effector analogue TNP-AMP as measured by fluorescence change.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In order to find the markers of the toxicity of the autoxidized lipids in the liver, rats were given a lethal amount of secondary autoxidation products of linoleic acid (400 mg/rat/day for 3 days) and then changes in the hepatic metabolic functions were analyzed. A decrease in acetyl-CoA level to half caused by the depletion of CoASH was reported in an associated paper (J. Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol., 35, 11-23, 1989). Citrate, isocitrate, and 2-oxoglutarate also decreased to half the level of those of the control group. Reduction in isocitrate dehydrogenase activity was only 25%, while NADH2 and ATP levels remained unchanged. Thus, the reduction in the citrate cycle activity was due to the decrease in acetyl-CoA. The activity of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase was decreased to 1/5. Other appreciable changes were depletion of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate, accumulation of glucose 1-phosphate, reductions in hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphoglucomutase, and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities, and decrease in the NADPH2 level. It was considered that these changes were caused by the depletion of glucose 6-phosphate whose synthetic pathways were abnormal. Therefore, the markers of the hepatotoxicity of secondary products were the changes in the CoASH level and the activities of succinate dehydrogenase and synthetic pathways for glucose 6-phosphate.

1. The conversion of [U-(14)C]glucose into carbon dioxide, cholesterol and fatty acids in liver slices and the activities of ;malic' enzyme, citrate-cleavage enzyme, NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase and hexose monophosphate-shunt dehydrogenases in the soluble fraction of homogenates of liver were measured in chicks that were starved or starved then fed. 2. In newly hatched chicks the incorporation of [U-(14)C]glucose and the activity of ;malic' enzyme did not increase unless the birds were fed. The response to feeding of [U-(14)C]glucose incorporation into fatty acids increased as the starved chicks grew older. 3. Citrate-cleavage enzyme activity increased slowly even when the newly hatched chicks were unfed. On feeding, citrate-cleavage enzyme activity increased at a much faster rate. 4. In normally fed 20-day-old chicks starvation decreased the incorporation of [U-(14)C]glucose into all three end products and depressed the activities of ;malic' enzyme and citrate-cleavage enzyme. Re-feeding increased all of these processes to normal or higher-than-normal levels. 5. In both newly hatched and 20-day-old chicks starvation increased the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase and feeding or re-feeding decreased it. 6. Very little change in hexose monophosphate-shunt dehydrogenase activity was observed during the dietary manipulations. 7. The results indicate that increased substrate delivery to the liver is the principal stimulus to the increased rate of glucose metabolism observed in newly hatched chicks. The results also suggest that changes in the activities of ;malic' enzyme and citrate-cleavage enzyme are secondary to an increased flow of metabolites through the glucose-to-fatty acid pathway and that the dehydrogenases of the hexose monophosphate shunt play a minor role in NADPH production for fatty acid synthesis.

The regulation of mitochondrial citrate metabolism has been investigated in oleaginous and non-oleaginous yeasts to ascertain its importance in controlling the rate of citrate efflux from mitochondria. The following observations were made: 1. Citrate efflux from mitochondria of the oleaginous yeast Candida curvata D, in the presence of L-malate and pyruvate, was stimulated by adding ATP and reduced by AMP. In the non-oleaginous yeast, Candida utilis 359, there was very little stimulation of citrate efflux by ATP but it was reduced by AMP. These effects appeared to be generalized as similar results were obtained in an examination of eight further yeasts (seven oleaginous and one non-oleaginous). 2. The effects of ATP and AMP were not observed in mitochondria whose metabolism had been inhibited by antimycin A and rotenone indicating the direct regulation of the citrate translocase was not involved. 3. In C. curvata D, ATP increased the total mitochondrial citrate content and reduced that of 2-oxoglutarate whereas AMP had the reverse effect. In C. utilis 359, AMP had a similar effect but that of ATP was much smaller. 4. To explain these observations the mitochondrial NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase was studied in a number of yeasts. The enzyme from oleaginous yeasts had a requirement for AMP for activity and was inhibited by ATP. In non-oleaginous yeasts the enzyme was active in the absence of AMP and increased in activity as the isocitrate concentration increased. 5. The enzyme in C. curvata D was constantly more sensitive to increasing energy charge than that of the non-oleaginous yeast. These results indicate that the supply of citrate (and hence acetyl-CoA) to the cytosol is controlled by the activity of the intramitochondrial NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase which in turn is regulated by adenine nucleotides. The sensitivity of this enzyme to the ATP/AMP ratio during lipogenesis is therefore an important control in the accumulation of lipid by yeasts.

NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from bovine heart was activated by lower concentrations of citrate in the presence of ADP (apparent S0.5 citrate = 0.033 mM) than in its absence (apparent S0.5 citrate = 2.64 mM) at low magnesium DL-isocitrate (0.18 mM) and free DL-isocitrate3- (0.45 mM) concentrations. Under these conditions, citrate (0.3 mM) lowered the apparent S0.5 for ADP from 0.24 to 0.05 mM. The binding of NAD+ was unaffected by citrate; however, saturating concentrations of citrate lowered the apparent S0.5 for magnesium isocitrate from 0.63 to 0.19 mM in the presence of ADP. Citrate does not appear to bind to the regulatory or catalytic magnesium isocitrate-binding sites, since the Hill coefficient for magnesium isocitrate was not lowered by citrate nor did inhibition occur at high citrate concentrations. The data suggest that magnesium citrate was the activating species. Citrate activation occurred from pH 6.5 to 8.0. As with magnesium citrate, calcium citrate lowered the S0.5 for magnesium isocitrate (apparent S0.5 for calcium citrate = 0.26 mM), and it did not appear to bind to the regulatory or catalytic magnesium isocitrate-binding sites. However, in contrast to the substantial facilitation of magnesium citrate activation by ADP, no activation by calcium citrate occurred in the presence of ADP. Differences in the mechanism of activation of the enzyme by magnesium citrate and calcium citrate were also indicated by the finding that, whereas a number of tricarboxylates could replace citrate as an activator with Mg2+ as the sole divalent cation activator, only citrate was effective for the further enhancement of velocity by added calcium.

Citrate has been identified as a major component of honey bee (Apis mellifera) venom by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A citrate concentration of 9% was found for dried bee venom by a coupled enzyme assay, aconitase-isocitric dehydrogenase. A liquid honey bee venom would contain 140 mM citrate concentration (if the solids content were 30%). Bee venom phospholipase was inhibited at a 43% level with a citrate concentration of 20 mM and calcium ion at 3 mM with the enzyme assay. Citrate was also found in the venoms of bumble bee, Bombus fervidus, 7%; yellow jacket, Vespula maculifrons, 4%; scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus, 8%; tarantula, Grammastola cala, 8% and brown recluse spider venom gland extract, Loxoceles reclusa, 1.5% based on dried venom solids. Citrate may serve as an endogenous inhibitor of divalent metal ion-dependent enzymes in arthropod venoms as described by Francis et al. (1992, Toxicon 30, 1239-1246). Many arthropod venoms contain calcium-dependent phospholipases. A direct effect of citrate as a venom component may be possible. The presence of citrate in venoms must be considered in research on receptors, ion channels and divalent ion-dependent toxins.
