Yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12) immobilized on CNBr-activated Sepharose 4-B has been subjected to dissociation to obtain matrix-bound dimeric species of the enzyme. Hybridization was then performed using soluble glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase isolated from rat skeletal muscle. Immobilized hybrid tetramers thus obtained were demonstrated to exhibit two distinct pH-optima of activity characteristic of the yeast and muscle enzymes, respectively. The results indicate that under appropriate conditions the activity of each of the dimers composing the immobilized hybrid tetramer can be studied separately.

Rabbit antibodies to rat skeletal muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, as well as monovalent Fab fragments of these antibodies were coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. Rat skeletal muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was then immobilized on a matrix by non-covalent binding to specific antibodies. Immobilized enzyme retains approximately 90% catalytic activity of the soluble dehydrogenase; pH optimum of activity and the Km value observed are changed as compared to the enzyme in solution. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase immobilized on specific antibodies is shown to undergo adenine nucleotide-induced dissociation into dimers. The immobilized dimeric form of the enzyme thus obtained is catalytically active and capable of reassociating with the dimers of apoglyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase added in solution to the suspension of Sepharose.

The structure of the active center of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the arrangement of subunits in the tetrameric molecule is delineated. The mechanism of cooperative effects in the oligomer is considered, and the involvement of various regions of the active center and of different-subunit contact area in the realization of the cooperative phenomena is discussed. A special attention is paid to the effect of NAD+ bound to one of the subunits of the tetramer on the structure of an adjacent subunit and to the problem of the participation of the coenzyme in the creation of anion-binding sites of the enzyme. The conditions of reversible dissociation of the tetrameric apoenzyme molecule into dimers are depicted, and the role of NAD+ in the organization of the quaternary structure of the dehydrogenase is discussed. The problem of catalytic activity of the dimeric form of the enzyme is argued.

Two high-Mr forms of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from spinach leaf can be separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. One form, the high-Mr glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, resembles an enzyme previously described [Yonuschot, G.R., Ortwerth, B.J. & Koeppe, O.J. (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 4193-4198]. The other, a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoribulokinase complex, is characterised by possession of latent phosphoribulokinase activity, only expressed following incubation with dithiothreitol. This complex is composed not only of subunits A (39.5 kDa) and B (41.5 kDa) characteristic of the high-Mr glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, but also of a third subunit, R (40.5 kDa) comigrating with that from the active phosphoribulokinase of spinach. Incubation of the complex with dithiothreitol markedly stimulated both its phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent dehydrogenase activities. This dithiothreitol-induced activation was accompanied by depolymerisation to give two predominantly NADPH-linked tetrameric glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (the homotetramer, A4, and the heterotetramer, A2B2) as well as the active dimeric phosphoribulokinase. Incubation of the high-Mr glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase with dithiothreitol promoted complete depolymerisation yielding only the heterotetramer (A2B2). Possible structures suggested for the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoribulokinase complex are (A2B2)2A4R2 or (A2B2)(A4)2R2.

The five glycolytic enzymes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and pyruvate kinase were each purified from extracts of Zymomonas mobilis cells, by using dye-ligand chromatography as the principal step. Two procedures, producing three and two of the enzymes respectively, are described in detail. Z. mobilis glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase was found to be similar in most respects to the enzyme from other sources, except for having a slightly larger subunit size. Phosphoglycerate kinase has properties typical for this enzyme; however, it did not show the sulphate activation effects characteristic of this enzyme from most other sources. Phosphoglycerate mutase is a dimer, partially independent of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, and has a high specific activity. Enolase was found to be octameric; otherwise its properties were very similar to those of the yeast enzyme. Pyruvate kinase is unusual in being dimeric, and not requiring K+ for activity. It is not allosterically activated by sugar phosphates, having a high activity in the absence of any effectors. Some quantitative differences in the relative amounts of these enzymes, compared with eukaryotic species, are ascribed to the fact that Z. mobilis utilizes the Entner-Doudoroff pathway rather than the more common Embden-Meyerhoff glycolytic route.

A homogeneous multimeric protein isolated from the green alga, Scenedesmus obliquus, has both latent phosphoribulokinase activity and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was active with both NADPH and NADH, but predominantly with NADH. Incubation with 20 mM dithiothreitol and 1 mM NADPH promoted the coactivation of phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, accompanied by a decrease in the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity linked to NADH. The multimeric enzyme had a Mr of 560,000 and was of apparent subunit composition 8G6R. R represents a subunit of Mr 42,000 conferring phosphoribulokinase activity and G a subunit of 39,000 responsible for the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. On SDS-PAGE the Mr-42,000 subunit comigrates with the subunit of the active form of phosphoribulokinase whereas that of Mr-39,000 corresponds to that of NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The multimeric enzyme had a S20,W of 14.2 S. Following activation with dithiothreitol and NADPH, sedimenting boundaries of 7.4 S and 4.4 S were formed due to the depolymerization of the multimeric protein to NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (4G) and active phosphoribulokinase (2R). It has been possible to isolate these two enzymes from the activated preparation by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Prolonged activation of the multimeric protein by dithiothreitol in the absence of nucleotide produced a single sedimenting boundary of 4.6 S, representing a mixture of the active form of phosphoribulokinase and an inactive dimeric form of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Algal thioredoxin, in the presence of 1 mM dithiothreitol and 1 mM NADPH, stimulated the depolymerization of the multimeric protein with resulting coactivation of phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Light-induced depolymerization of the multimeric protein, mediated by reduced thioredoxin, is postulated as the mechanism of light activation in vivo. Consistent with such a postulate is the presence of high concentrations of the active forms of phosphoribulokinase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in extracts from photoheterotrophically grown algae. By contrast, in extracts from the dark-grown algae the multimeric enzyme predominates.

Tetrameric D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12) isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was covalently bound to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B via a single subunit. Catalytically active immobilized dimer and monomeric forms of the enzyme were prepared after urea-induced dissociation of the tetramer. A study of the coenzyme-binding properties of matrix-bound tetrameric, dimeric and monomeric species has shown that: (1) an immobilized tetramer binds NAD+ with negative cooperativity, the dissociation constants being 0.085 microM for the first two coenzyme molecules and 1.3 microM for the third and the fourth one; (2) coenzyme binding to the dimeric enzyme form also displays negative cooperativity with Kd values of 0.032 microM and 1.1 microM for the first and second sites, respectively; (3) the binding of NAD+ to a monomer can occur with a dissociation constant of 1.6 microM which is close to the Kd value for low-affinity coenzyme binding sites of the tetrameric or dimeric enzyme forms. In the presence of NAD+ an immobilized monomer acquires a stability which is not inferior to that of a holotetramer. The catalytic properties of monomeric and tetrameric enzyme forms were compared and found to be different under certain conditions. Thus, the monomers of rabbit muscle D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase displayed a hyperbolic kinetic saturation curve for NAD+, whereas the tetramers exhibited an intermediary plateau region corresponding to half-saturating concentrations of NAD+. At coenzyme concentrations below half-saturating a monomer is more active than a tetramer. This difference disappears at saturating concentrations of NAD+. Immobilized monomeric and tetrameric forms of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from baker's yeast were also used to investigate subunit interactions in catalysis. The rate constant of inactivation due to modification of essential arginine residues in the holoenzyme decreased in the presence of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, probably as a result of conformational changes accompanying catalysis. This effect was similar for monomeric and tetrameric enzyme forms at saturating substrate concentrations, but different for the two enzyme species under conditions in which about one-half of the active centers remained unsaturated. Taken together, the results indicate that association of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase monomers into a tetramer imposes some constraints on the functioning of the active centers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Affinity chromatography on double-stranded (ds) and single-stranded (ss) DNA-cellulose columns was employed to find analogs of the Escherichia coli and T4 single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSB proteins) in calf thymus. The interaction of several purified SSB proteins with the pure DNA-polymerase-alpha--primase complex on DNA synthesis on activated DNA and on primase-initiated M13 DNA served as a criterion for a possible involvement of one of these proteins in the process of DNA replication. Two SSB proteins were purified to essential homogeneity. These most abundant proteins exhibited apparent relative molecular masses of 35,000 (SSB-35) and 37,000 (SSB-37) for the protomers and 140,000 and 80,000 for the native enzymes. Both proteins resisted elution with 0.5 mg/ml dextran sulfate and were eluted from the ssDNA-cellulose with 0.2 M and 1 M NaCl, respectively. SSB-35 stimulated the DNA-polymerase-alpha--primase complex from the same organism up to fivefold over a broad range of DNA covering. By contrast, SSB-37 inhibited the primase-initiated replication of M13 DNA. Like most eukaryotic SSB proteins, these proteins showed a 300-fold preference for binding to ssDNA over dsDNA in a nitrocellulose filter binding assay, as well as strong binding to several DNA and RNA homopolymers. Furthermore, we provide evidence for a cooperative mode of binding for SSB-37. Although SSB-35 and SSB-37 behave as typically eukaryotic SSB proteins in all assays employed, we tested these SSB proteins for dehydrogenase activities as well. SSB-35 was found to be identical with lactate dehydrogenase and SSB-37 was identical with a dimeric form of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. These results imply that further studies are mandatory in order to prove the authenticity of eukaryotic SSB proteins.

The review summarizes the results of a study on the functional role of subunit interactions in a tetrameric glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase molecule. A conformational asymmetry preexistent in the apoenzyme was shown to be detectable with the use of fluorescent cationic probes. Experimental evidence is presented which points to an interaction of the enzyme active centers in the course of productive E-acyl-NADH complex formation in the forward reaction. The matrix immobilized oligomeric and subunit forms of the enzyme were used to demonstrate that the quaternary structure is not a prerequisite for the catalytic activity. Due to subunit interactions within the oligomeric enzyme molecule the functioning of a monomer is under the control exerted by the neighbouring subunits. An association of monomers into a dimer is sufficient to create a cooperative system; the mutual influence of subunits becomes more complex in a trimeric and a tetrameric enzyme species. An isolated dimer exhibits the effect of half-of-the-sites reactivity and catalytic cooperativity of the active centers. Both the tetrameric and dimeric enzyme forms probably catalyze the reaction of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate reductive dephosphorylation via a mechanism of the flip-flop type. The catalytic cooperativity of the enzyme active centers can be controlled by some factors of the intracellular environment (e.g., by protein-protein interactions with a functionally related enzyme). Thus, the role of subunit cooperativity in the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase molecule is suggested to constitute one of the mechanisms of regulation of the enzyme functioning.

Sepharose-bound tetrameric, dimeric and monomeric forms of yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were prepared, as well as immobilized hybrid species containing (by selective oxidation of an active center cysteine residue with H2O2) one inactivated subunit per tetramer or dimer. The catalytic properties of these enzyme forms were compared in the forward reaction (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate oxidation) and reverse reaction (1,3-bisphosphoglycerate reductive dephosphorylation) under steady-state conditions. In the reaction of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate oxidation, immobilized monomeric and tetrameric forms exhibited similar specific activities. The hybrid-modified dimer contributed on half of the total activity of a native dimer. The tetramer containing one modified subunit possessed 75% of the activity of an unmodified tetramer. In the reaction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate reductive dephosphorylation, the specific activity of the monomeric enzyme species was nearly twice as high as that of the tetramer, suggesting that only one-half of the active centers of the oligomer were acting simultaneously. Subunit cooperativity in catalysis persisted in an isolated dimeric species. The specific activity of a monomer associated with a peroxide-inactivated monomer in a dimer was equal to that of an isolated monomeric species and twice as high as that of a native immobilized dimer. The specific activity of subunits associated with a peroxide-inactivated subunit in a tetramer did not differ from that of a native immobilized tetramer; this indicates that interdimeric interactions are involved in catalytic subunit cooperativity. A complex was formed between the immobilized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and soluble phosphoglycerate kinase. Three monomers of phosphoglycerate kinase were bound per tetramer of the dehydrogenase and one per dimer. Evidence is presented that if the reductive dephosphorylation of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate proceeds in the phosphoglycerate kinase - glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complex, all active sites of the latter enzyme act independently, i.e. subunit cooperativity is abolished.
