The evaluation of the specific activity of some enzymes related to energy transduction was performed in 7 fresh samples of malignant gliomas and in 4 samples of normal brain tissue. Compared with normal brain tissue, the hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and citrate synthase activities are lower; the lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase are unchanged, while glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase activities are higher in gliomas.

The activities of the mitochondrial enzymes citrate synthase (citrate oxaloacetatelyase, EC 4.1.3.7), NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (threo-Ds-isocitrate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating), EC 1.1.1.42), and succinate dehydrogenase (succinate: FAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.99.1) as well as their kinetic behavior in the two developmental forms of Trypanosoma cruzi at insect vector stage, epimastigotes and infective metacyclic trypomastigotes, were studied. The results presented in this work clearly demonstrate a higher mitochondrial metabolism in the metacyclic forms as is shown by the extraordinary enhanced activities of metacyclic citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase. In epimastigotes, the specific activities of citrate synthase at variable concentrations of oxalacetate and acetyl-CoA were 24.6 and 26.6 mU/mg of protein, respectively, and the Michaelis constants were 7.88 and 6.84 microM for both substrates. The metacyclic enzyme exhibited the following kinetic parameters: a specific activity of 228.4 mU/mg and Km of 3.18 microM for oxalacetate and 248.5 mU/mg and 2.75 microM, respectively, for acetyl-CoA. NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase specific activities for epimastigotes and metacyclics were 110.2 and 210.3 mU/mg, whereas the apparent Km's were 47.9 and 12.5 microM, respectively. No activity for the NAD-dependent isozyme was found in any form of T. cruzi differentiation. The particulated succinate dehydrogenase showed specific activities of 8.2 and 39.1 mU/mg for epimastigotes and metacyclic trypomastigotes, respectively, although no significant changes in the Km (0.46 and 0.48 mM) were found. The cellular role and the molecular mechanism that probably take place during this significant shift in the mitochondrial metabolism during the T. cruzi differentiation have been discussed.

Equilibrium constants for reactions catalyzed by ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase, [sigma xylulose-5-P]/[sigma ribulose-5-P] = 1.82, ribose-5-phosphate isomerase, [sigma Rib-5-P]/[sigma ribulose-5-P] = 1.20, transaldolase, [sigma erythrose-4-P] [sigma Fru-6-P]/[sigma sedoheptulose-7-P] [sigma glyceraldehyde 3-P] = 0.37, and transketolase, [sigma Fru-6-P] [sigma glyceraldehyde 3-P]/[sigma erythrose-4-P] [sigma xylulose-5-P] = 29.7 and [sigma Rib-5-P] [sigma xylulose-5-P]/[sigma sedoheptulose-7-P] [sigma glyceraldehyde 3-P] = 0.48, were redetermined under physiological conditions. The equilibrium constant for the combined glucose-6-P dehydrogenase and 6-phosphoglucono-gamma-lactonase reaction, [6-phosphogluconate3-] [NADPH] [H+]2/[Glc-6-P2-] [NADP+], was found to be at least 1 X 10(-9). Using these redetermined equilibrium constants, calculated values of pentose cycle intermediates, based on near equilibrium assumptions and the tissue content of Fru-6-P and glyceraldehyde 3-P, were found to be in good agreement with measured values for male Wistar rats injected with saline, 20 mumol/g pyruvate, 20 mumol/g gluconate, and 20 mumol/g ribose. Measured and calculated values for pentose cycle intermediates in saline injected animals were ribulose-5-P; 3.8 +/- 0.4 and 2.4 +/- 0.1 nmol/g; xylulose-5-P, 5.9 +/- 0.6 nmol/g and 4.3 +/- 0.2 nmol/g; sedoheptulose-7-P, 41.5 +/- 2.4 and 37.6 +/- 2.9 nmol/g; and combined sedopheptulose-7-P and Rib-5-P, 43.0 +/- 2.8 nmol/g and 40.5 +/- 3.0 nmol/g; liver content of erythrose-4-P was less than the detection limits of the assay, 2 nmol/g. Calculated erythrose-4-P was 0.23 +/- 0.01 nmol/g. Liver content of 6-phosphogluconate was 8.5 +/- 0.7 nmol/g. The free cytosolic [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio calculated from the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase redox couple, 0.0030 +/- 0.0002, was also in good agreement with that calculated from the malic enzyme redox couple, 0.0051 +/- 0.0007, and the isocitrate dehydrogenase redox couple, 0.0066 +/- 0.0008. These data indicate the interdependence of the liver content of glycolytic intermediates and pentose cycle intermediates in ad libitum fed rats.

Each of the two isozymes, which are different in thermostability and quaternary structure, of isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) [IDH: EC 1.1.1.42] was purified to an electrophoretically homogeneous state from an obligately psychrophilic marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain ABE-1. Hydrophobic chromatography was an efficient procedure to separate the two isozymes from each other. The isoelectric points of isozyme I (IDH-I; a dimer, Mr 88,100) and isozyme II (IDH-II; a monomer, Mr 80,500) were found to be pH 4.9 and 5.2, respectively. The two isozymes were similar in amino acid compositions, though there were slight differences in the contents of nonpolar and hydroxyl amino acids. However, their NH2-terminal amino acid sequences and immunochemical properties were clearly different from each other. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence analysis also indicated that the subunits of IDH-I are chemically identical or highly homologous. Non-immuno-crossreactivity between the isozymes enabled us to measure the intracellular contents of the isozymes. IDH-I and -II were found to be differentially regulated in vivo by various growth conditions. IDH-I was induced by acetate, while IDH-II remained almost unchanged.

This communication presents the results obtained in tubular aggregates of 24 enzyme histochemical techniques for demonstrating activity of oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases and isomerases. The activity characteristics of the tubular aggregates in m. gluteus medius of 18 patients with diseases of the neuromuscular system were almost identical. A high activity of the mitochondrial enzymes, NADPH: tetrazolium oxidoreductase, NADH:tetrazolium oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase, could be shown in the pathological structures, whereas the activity of the mitochondrial enzymes, glycerol-3-phosphate:menadione oxidoreductase, succinate:PMS oxidoreductase, malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase and isocitrate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, and the partial mitochondrial enzymes, malate:NADP+ oxidoreductase and isocitrate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, was very slight or even absent. There was a moderate to strong activity of the glycolytic enzymes lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucomutase and glucose phosphate isomerase. In contrast, the activity of alpha-glucan phosphorylase was slight. The activity of phosphogluconate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, glucose-6-phosphate:NADP+ oxidoreductase and 5'-nucleotidase was slight, whereas there was no activity of myosin ATPase and mitochondrial ATPase, acid phosphatase or alkaline phosphatase. The high activity of AMP-deaminase was very striking. The activity of peroxidase was moderate. Results obtained with adsorption studies point to adsorption of some of the enzymes studied to the tubular aggregates in vivo and this phenomenon very probably determined the histochemical characteristics of these structures.

B-cells stimulated with glucose showed enhanced activities of NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase, aconitase, ATP-citrate lyase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy-kinase, elevated cytosolic [NADPH]/[NADP+] ratio, and increased concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, citrate, phosphoenolpyruvate and cytosolic free Ca2+. Phosphoenolpyruvate induced release of Ca2+ accumulated in isolated mitochondria. Glucose is suggested to stimulate a cytosolic NADP-linked dismutation and synthesis of citrate, associated with increased cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration. Subsequent breakdown of cytosolic citrate may yield Pi (possibly related to the "phosphate flush") and phosphoenolpyruvate which potentiates the release of Ca2+ accumulated in the B-cell mitochondria.

The glyoxylate bypass and citric acid cycle operate concurrently in Escherichia coli when acetate is the sole source of carbon and energy to sustain aerobic growth. The overall carbon balance allows fluxes through the central metabolic pathways (CMPs) to be computed on the assumption that these metabolic pathways are known. Acetate is fluxed via the CMPs to the precursors required for synthesis of new biomass and also to generate the reducing power and ATP required to convert these precursors to biomass. Under these circumstances, a junction is created at isocitrate where isocitrate lyase (ICL) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) compete for their common substrate. In general, flux through ICL generates the precursors used for biosynthesis while the larger part of the flux (95%) through ICDH is dedicated to the supply of reducing power and ATP. The system sustains a large intracellular pool of isocitrate to accommodate the rather low affinity of ICL for this substrate. Excessive flux of isocitrate through ICDH is prevented by regulation of ICDH activity: reversible inactivation of ICDH is achieved by a bifunctional kinase/phosphatase, as the phosphorylated form of ICDH has no activity. The kinase/phosphatase responds to two classes of effectors--intermediates of the CMPs generated by flux through ICL and the lower energy forms of ATP and NADPH (ADP, AMP and NADP+) generated when these intermediates are used for biosynthesis. The effect is to adjust flux through ICDH so that the rate of supply of NADPH and ATP is equal to the demands of biosynthesis. Biosynthetic fluxes are limited by the rate of supply of precursors which depends on flux through ICL. Growth rate is most likely limited by the primary flux of acetate to acetyl-CoA or flux through ICL. In the steady state, the flux through ICDH is regulated to be twice the throughput of ICL. The evolution of this complex pattern of control may have depended on alternatives to the citric acid for energy generation.

Genetic variants of NADP+-dependent soluble isocitrate dehydrogenase (sIDH) expressed in pink salmon liver have been studied. The progeny of 16 individual crossings has been analysed. It is shown that sIDH in the liver of pink salmon is a dimer and is coded for by two duplicated loci, one of which is represented by 3 alleles (82, 100 and 124) and the other, probably by two (100 and 124). The products of the most frequently occurring alleles of these loci are almost similar in their electrophoretic mobility. Polypeptides coded for by the alleles of both loci combine freely, generating heterodimers.

The interaction of androgens and prolactin, the major factors regulating the male accessory sex organs, on the specific activity of seminal vesicular enzymes of the pyruvate/malate cycle were studied in castrated mature monkeys. Castration decreased the activity of these enzymes, including NADP+ isocitrate dehydrogenase, ATP citrate lyase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and fatty acid synthase. Testosterone propionate (TP)/dihydrotestosterone given as replacement to castrates increased the activity of all these enzymes, except for malate dehydrogenase. Prolactin restored normal activity of ATP citrate lyase, malic enzyme and fatty acid synthase but not of isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase (MDH). Prolactin had a specific control over MDH. Moreover, when prolactin was combined with androgens a further stimulatory influence was observed on fatty acid synthase activity. In order to prove the direct influence of prolactin on enzymes of the pyruvate/malate cycle, bromocriptine was administered and this inhibited all of the enzymes. Thus prolactin was found to have a direct, as well as a synergistic, action with androgens on enzymes of the pyruvate/malate cycle in the seminal vesicles of monkeys.

Two new reactive adenine nucleotide analogues have been synthesized and characterized: 2-[(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutyl)thio]adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate (2-BDB-TA-2',5'-DP) and 2-[(3-bromo-2-oxopropyl)thio]adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate (2-BOP-TA-2',5'-DP). Starting with NADP+, 2'-phospho-adenosine 5'-(diphosphoribose) (PADPR) was generated enzymatically and was converted to PADPR 1-oxide by reaction with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. Treatment with NaOH followed by reaction with carbon disulfide yielded 2-thioadenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate (TA-2',5'-DP). Condensation of TA-2',5'-DP with 1,4-dibromobutanedione or 1,3-dibromo-2-propanone gave the final products 2-BDB-TA-2',5'-DP and 2-BOP-TA-2',5'-DP, respectively. The structure of these new reagents was determined by UV, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as by bromide and phosphorus analysis. Both of these reagents exhibit properties expected for an affinity label of the coenzyme site of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. With both reagents, biphasic kinetics of inactivation are observed that can be described in terms of a fast initial phase of inactivation resulting in partially active enzyme of 6-7% residual activity, followed by a slower phase leading to total inactivation. The inactivation rate constants for both reagents exhibit a nonlinear dependence on reagent concentration, consistent with the formation of a reversible complex with the enzyme prior to irreversible modification. The enzyme incorporates both reagents to a limited extent and is protected against inactivation by NADP+ and NADPH. The reaction of these new nucleotide analogues with isocitrate dehydrogenase is compared to the much slower inactivation caused by bromoacetone, indicating the importance of the nucleotide moiety in the functioning of the affinity labels. It is likely that 2-BDB-TA-2',5'-DP and 2-BOP-TA-2',5'-DP will have general applicability as affinity labels for other NADP+ binding enzymes.
