The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase of Halobacterium cutirubrum is rapidly inactivated at low NaCl levels. As much as 75% of the initial activity can be restored by dialyzing the inactive enzyme against 4 m NaCl. A mixture of 4 mm isocitrate and 10 mm MnCl(2) gives the same protection as 4 m NaCl but does not replace the NaCl requirement for reactivation. The reactivated and native enzymes have identical sedimentation rates on sucrose gradients, electrophoretic mobilities on polyacrylamide gels, and elution rates from Sephadex G-200. However, there are distinct differences between the active and inactive forms of the enzyme. Compared with the active enzyme, the inactive protein has a lower sedimentation rate, a lower electrophoretic mobility, and a faster elution rate from Sephadex. These differences indicate that inactivation causes a major conformational change in the protein. Presumably, the removal of NaCl permits the enzyme to expand into a less dense, inactive form. The isocitrate dehydrogenase was purified 69-fold by a procedure involving the following steps. When the enzyme is selectively protected with isocitrate and MnCl(2) at low ionic strength, most of the contaminating proteins are precipitated with (NH(4))(2)SO(4) at 0.9 saturation. The enzyme in the supernatant fluid is then inactivated at low NaCl levels, precipitated with 0.5 saturated (NH(4))(2)SO(4), and reactivated with 4 m NaCl. Minor impurities are removed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The resulting preparation is more than 95% pure as judged by disc electrophoresis.

During exponential growth, ordinary colorless (OC) plants of Blastocladiella emersonii consumed little glucose and produced no lactic acid. Similarly, resistant sporangial (RS) plants did not utilize glucose or produce lactic acid during the first 24 hr of exponential growth. During the next 24 hr of RS development, glucose was consumed with the concomitant production of lactic acid which was then reutilized. Lactic acid gradually accumulated again at maturity. Enzyme studies on cell-free extracts indicated the presence of all tricarboxylic cycle enzymes except alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase at all stages of development of both RS and OC plants. Included among the enzymes detected were an adenosine monophosphate-stimulated, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-isocitric dehydrogenase, and citrate-condensing enzyme. When measured on a per plant basis, tricarboxylic cycle enzyme levels increased during the exponential growth of both kinds of plants. Only after the bicarbonate ceased to have effect on RS plant morphogenesis was there a decrease in the levels of the tricarboxylic cycle enzymes when measured on a per plant basis. Specific activity measurements indicated some differences in the differential rates of synthesis among the enzymes studied previous to 36 hr. Preliminary studies utilizing short periods of (14)C-bicarbonate fixation in young RS plants indicated that during the first 4 min most of the label was located in aspartic acid. These results are discussed in terms of previous results and particularly Cantino's hypothesis concerning the relationship between bicarbonate induction and tricarboxylic-cycle enzymes in the morphogenesis of B. emersonii.

The assimilation and metabolism of CO(2) and acetate by Beggiatoa alba strain B18LD was investigated. Although B. alba was shown to require CO(2) for growth, the addition of excess CO(2) (as NaHCO(3)) to the medium in a closed system did not stimulate growth. Approximately 24 to 31% of the methyl-labeled acetate and 38 to 46% of the carboxyl-labeled acetate were oxidized to (14)CO(2) by B. alba. The apparent V(max) values for combined assimilation and oxidation of [2-(14)C]acetate by B. alba were 126 to 202 nmol min(-1) mg of protein(-1) under differing growth conditions. The V(max) values for CO(2) assimilation by heterotrophic and mixotrophic cells were 106 and 131 pmol min(-1) mg of protein(-1), respectively. The low V(max) values for CO(2) assimilation, coupled with the high V(max) values for acetate oxidation, suggested that the required CO(2) was endogenously produced from acetate. Moreover, exogenously supplied acetate was required by B. alba for the fixation of CO(2). From 61 to 73% of the [(14)C]acetate assimilated by washed trichomes was incorporated into lipid. Fifty-five percent of the assimilated [2-(14)C]acetate was incorporated into poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid. This was consistent with chemical data showing that 56% of the heterotrophic cell dry weight was poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid. Succinate and CO(2) were incorporated into cell wall material, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and amino and organic acids, but not into poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid. Glutamate and succinate were the major stable products after short-term [1-(14)C]acetate assimilation. Glutamate and aspartate were the first stable (14)CO(2) fixation products, whereas glutamate, a phosphorylated compound, succinate, and aspartate were the major stable (14)CO(2) fixation products over a 30-min period. The CO(2) fixation enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate; reversed) and malate dehydrogenase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate; decarboxylating) were found in cell-free extracts of both mixotrophically grown and heterotrophically grown cells. The data indicate that the typical autotrophic CO(2) fixation mechanisms are absent from B. alba B18LD and that the CO(2) and acetate metabolism pathways are probably linked.

Parietal cells in the luminal segments of mouse gastric glands show high activity of acid-secreting potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (H+, K+-ATPase) and of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-ICDHase) and malate dehydrogenase (MDHase) but low activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHase). This pattern of activity is reversed in the basal segments of the same glands. These results and previous morphological findings support the conclusion that luminal segment parietal cells are much more active in hydrochloric acid secretion than those of the basal segment. The origin of this zonation may be either cellular deterioration with age or some more specific form of regulation of parietal cell metabolism.

This study has investigated the feasibility of calculating the cytoplasmic free [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio in rat brain. The time course of the change in the substrate ratios of the malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) [E.C. 1.1.1.40], NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) [E.C. 1.1.1.42] and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) [E.C. 1.1.1.44] reactions was followed for up to 10 min after a single, unmodified electroconvulsive seizure. From the results it has been concluded that during periods of low flux, the direction and magnitude of the change in the cytoplasmic free [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio can, in fact, be reasonably determined even though there is some uncertainty in the absolute value of the ratio itself. It is recommended that reliance not be placed on a single enzyme system but that one or both of the other systems also be observed under a given experimental condition to increase confidence in the determination. The results also demonstrate that seizure and anoxia have a far lesser effect on the cytoplasmic free [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio than on the free [NAD+]/[NADH] ratio in the same compartment. These results suggest that the pathways using the nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate system are relatively protected from the rapid fluctuations that seizure and anoxia can produce.

A number of differences in the kinetic and physical properties of the Escherichia coli nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) dependent malic enzyme have been found, depending upon whether Mg2+ or Mn2+ served to fulfill the divalent cation requirement. The velocity-NADP+ and velocity-cation saturation curves exhibit a simple hyperbolic response in the presence of either metal cofactor, but the affinity for NADP+ (and malate) as well as the Vmax is increased in the presence of Mn2+. The high affinity of the enzyme for Mn2+ coupled with the increased affinity for substrates indicates that Mn2+ is the preferred cofactor in vitro. With either Mg2+ or Mn2+ as cation, the velocity-malate saturation curves in the absence of effectors are complex at pH 7.45, indicating varying combinations of apparent positive and negative cooperative behavior. Greater initial positive cooperative behavior between malate binding sites is observed with Mg2+ as cation. The enzyme appears to be equally sensitive to inhibition by the allosteric inhibitors reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and oxaloacetic acid (OAA) in the presence of either cation, but the interaction between malate binding sites, in the presence of effectors, varies significantly with the choice of metal cofactor. The inhibitor NADH increases the interaction between malate binding sites in the presence of Mn2+ but has little effect on subunit interaction in the presence of Mg2+. The inhibitor OAA increases the interaction between malate binding sites in the presence of both cations, with increased positive cooperativity observed with Mn2+ but increased negative cooperativity with Mg2+. The kinetic data can be explained by a model involving sequential ligand-induced conformational changes of the enzyme, resulting in a mixture of apparent positive and negative cooperative behavior. Alternative explanations involving different classes of noninteracting binding sites or different enzyme forms are also considered. The metal cofactors, Mg2+ and Mn2+, appear to stabilize two distinct conformational states of the enzyme which differ in response to varying substrate and effector concentrations. Altered conformational states of the enzyme in the presence of the two cations are further substantiated by proteolytic digestion studies with the homogeneous enzyme. The results are strikingly similar to previous results reported on the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent malic enzyme and the NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, supporting the suggestion that metal cofactors function as regulatory entities.

Several inhibitors of cytochrome P-450 mediated oxidative transformations, ethyl 2-diethylaminoethyl-2-phenyl-2-ethylmalonate, ethyl-2-diethyl-aminoethyl-2-ethyl-2-buthylmalonate, 2,4 dichloro-6-phenoxyethyl diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethyl-2-phenyl- (2-propene)-4-penten-1-oate or 3-amino,1,2,4 triazole were not able to significantly prevent thiocetamide induced necrosis at 24 h as evidenced by isocitric acid dehydrogenase activity or histologically. In contrast, several other sulfur containing compounds, tetraethyl thiuramidisulfide, diethyldithiocarbamic acid, thiourea or 1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole, which are inhibitors of non-cytochrome P-450 dependent amine oxidase systems, significantly prevented thioacetamide induced liver necrosis at 24 h. Notwithstanding, diphenhydramine, nicotinamide, trimethylamine and imipramine, which are substrates of this amino oxidase system, do not protect. All the chemicals tested prolonged the pentobarbital sleeping time, but there is no correlation between the intensity of this effect and their ability for preventing thioacetamide liver necrosis. These observations suggest that cytochrome P-450 does not play a major role in the activation of thioacetamide to a proximal or an ultimate necrogenic metabolite. Other microsomal enzymes metabolizing sulfur compounds could be involved in the major activation process.

Reactive coenzyme analogues omega-(3-diazoniumpyridinium)alkyl adenosine diphosphate were prepared by reaction of omega-(3-aminopyridinium)alkyl adenosine diphosphate with nitrous acid. In these compounds the nicotinamide ribose is substituted by hydrocarbon chains of varied lengths (n-ethyl to n-pentyl). The diazonium compounds are very unstable and decompose rapidly at room temperature. They show a better stability to 0 degree C. Lactate and alcohol dehydrogenase do not react with any of the analogues. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase reacts rapidly with the diazoniumpentyl compound. Decreasing the length of the alkyl chain significantly decreases the inactivation velocity. 3 alpha, 20 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase reacts at 0 degree C with the ethyl homologue and slowly with the propyl compound. The butyl- and pentyl analogues do not inactivate at 0 degree C. Tests with 14C-labeled 2-(3-diazoniumpyridinium)ethyl adenosine diphosphate show that complete loss of enzyme activity results after incorporation of 2 moles of inactivator into 1 mole of tetrameric enzyme. 4-(3-Acetylpyridinium)butyl 2'-phospho-adenosine diphosphate, a structural analogue of NADP+, was prepared by condensation of adenosine-2,3-cyclophospho-5'-phosphomorpholidate with (3-acetylpyridinium)butyl phosphate, followed by hydrolysis of the cyclic phosphoric acid with 2':3'-cyclonucleotide-3'-phosphodiesterase. Because of the redox potential (-315 mV) and the distance between the pyridinium and phosphate groups, this analogue is a hydrogen acceptor and its reduced form a hydrogen donor in tests with alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobium brockii. The reduced form of the coenzyme analogue also is a hydrogen donor with glutathione reductase. With other NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases the compound has been shown to be a competitive inhibitor against the natural coenzyme. The acetyl group reacts with bromine to form the bromoacetyl group. This reactive bromoacetyl analogue is a specific active-site directed irreversible inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase.

Nicotinamide (NIC) is known to increase the synthesis of pyridine nucleotides and also to inhibit the hydrolysis of them to ADP-ribose, which in turn is involved in Ca2+ release from mitochondria via the ADP ribosylation of crucial mitochondrial proteins. In this work, we test the potential ability of NIC to be a late protective agent against CCl4-induced liver necrosis. We observed that 1 g/kg po NIC, 30 min before or 6 or 10 hr after CCl4 (1 ml/kg), given ip as a 20% (v/v) solution in olive oil, was able to significantly prevent the necrogenic effect of the hepatotoxin at 24 hr as evidenced by determination of isocitric dehydrogenase activity in plasma or by histological observation. NIC administration 6 hr after CCl4 prevented fatty liver induced by hepatotoxin at 24 hr. NIC did not modify CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation process at 1 hr after CCl4 and decreased the covalent binding of 14CCl4 to lipids. NIC decreased the levels of 14CCl4 reaching the liver when given 30 min before hepatotoxin but not when given 6 hr after it. NIC lowered body temperature of rats at 1, 3, and 6 hr and augmented it at 24 hr after CCl4. NIC concentrations in liver as determined by GC/MS/SIM analysis were 21 micrograms/g liver 1 hr after administration and 53 micrograms/g at 3 hr. Late preventive effects of NIC against CCl4 induced liver necrosis when given at 6 or 10 hr after CCl4 are compatible with the hypothesis that NIC restores mitochondrial ability for Ca2+ uptake. This hypothesis remains to be proved and is being further challenged in our laboratory.

Clofibrate or cetaben was administered to male rats for 10 days. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial enzymes were assayed in liver subcellular fractions. Clofibrate affected the specific activities of both mitochondrial enzymes (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and nicotinamide-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase) and peroxisomal enzymes (fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, glycerone phosphate acyltransferase, urate oxidase, and D-amino-acid oxidase). In contrast, cetaben raised only the peroxisomal enzymes, acyl-CoA oxidase, glycerone-phosphate acyltransferase, D-amino-acid oxidase, catalase, and urate oxidase. Thus, the hypolipidaemic activity of these drugs may be exclusively related to stimulated peroxisomal functioning, while mitochondria play only a minor role.
