The influence of prolactin (Prl) and bromocriptine on the specific activities of neural and glial cellular enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism in cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, cerebellum and pons-medulla was studied. Both Prl and bromocriptine stimulated the activity of hexokinase (HK) in the neural as well as in the glial cells. While Prl increased the activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-3-PDH) and pyruvate kinase (PK) in the neural cells, it decreased the same in the glial cells. On the other hand, bromocriptine elevated the activity of all these enzymes in the neural cells without any effect on the glial cells. The activities of neural cellular glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH) were inhibited by Prl, whereas bromocriptine increased the same. The activities of these enzymes in the glial cells were enhanced by both Prl and bromocriptine. Thus, the present study suggests that Prl has a differential effect on the activities of enzymes involved in Embden-Meyerhoff pathway (EMP) and hexosemonophosphate shunt (HMP) in the neural and glial cells of immature male bonnet monkeys.

The cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3) of the human erythrocyte membrane is a good substrate of endogenous and exogenous protein-tyrosine kinases. Because one site of tyrosine phosphorylation is within the glycolytic enzyme/hemoglobin-binding region at the N terminus of the polypeptide, we have investigated whether tyrosine phosphorylation of cdb3 might influence its interaction with the above peripheral proteins. Using p40, a protein-tyrosine kinase isolated from bovine thymus, we demonstrate that aldolase binding to cdb3 linked to Affi-Gel 15 is significantly inhibited by phosphorylation of the immobilized band 3. Importantly, upon dephosphorylation of the gel with acid phosphatase, aldolase binding returns to prephosphorylated values. Similarly, cdb3 phosphorylation was found to inhibit glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, and hemoglobin binding to immobilized cdb3. In the converse experiment, untreated soluble cdb3 was shown to bind to immobilized aldolase, whereas phosphorylated cdb3 (approximately equal to 1.8 mol of Pi/mol of cdb3) did not. Furthermore, phosphorylated cdb3 was unable to inhibit aldolase catalysis, whereas untreated cdb3, as shown previously by others, was a potent inhibitor. Taken together, these results demonstrate that phosphorylation of cdb3 on tyrosine residues inhibits peripheral protein binding at the polypeptide's N terminus. In view of the known effect of glycolytic enzyme binding to band 3 on catalytic activity, tyrosine phosphorylation of band 3 may modulate glycolysis in vivo.

In the process of defining the recruitment of fuel and pathway selection in rainbow trout fast-twitch white skeletal muscle, it was clear that the near-maximal myosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity during a 10-s sprint was supported solely by phosphocreatine hydrolysis. A conservative estimate of the ATP turnover was 188 mumol X g wet wt-1 X min-1. It was not until the rate and force of contraction decreased that the relative contribution of anaerobic glycogenolysis became increasingly important. Over a 10-min period of burst swimming at approximately 120% of maximum aerobic steady-state swimming velocity of trout determined in a Brett-type swim tunnel, fatigue was associated with the near-depletion of glycogen in white muscle. The ATP turnover supported by anaerobic glycogenolysis was 78 mumol X g wet wt-1 X min-1. The glycolytic pathway appeared functional at this time with control sites being identified at hexokinase and phosphofructokinase (PFK-1). PFK-1 did not appear to be inhibited by low muscle pH (pH 6.66). In another exercise protocol lasting 30 min, complete exhaustion was related to glycogen depletion. The sum of all glycolytic intermediates from glucose 6-phosphate to pyruvate at exhaustion decreased by a dramatic 80% compared with the 25% decrease for the 10-min fatigue swimming protocol. This large depletion of glycolytic intermediates was accompanied by an 80% fall in ATP, a 70-80% reduction in the ATP/ADP and phosphorylation potential, and a 2.5-fold increase in the NAD/NADH. Associated with these changes was a marked displacement of the phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), and the combined glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-PGK reactions from thermodynamic equilibrium. As a general conclusion, fatigue and exhaustion should be viewed as a multicomponent biochemical process in response to low glycogen and not leveled at one particular step of the glycolytic pathway.

In an endeavour to extend the available information on the biological significance of the interactions between glycolytic enzymes and cellular ultrastructure, the role of release of enzymes from digitonized fibroblasts has been studied. Lactate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase were rapidly and quantitatively eluted under the experimental conditions, while glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and aldolase were retained to an appreciably greater extent by the cells. This differential release of glycolytic enzymes has been related to the known binding propensities between those enzymes and subcellular structures, and are interpreted as providing additional confirmatory evidence of the importance of aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, in particular, to these associations. The data also shed light on the order of binding of these glycolytic components - phosphofructokinase being indicated as binding subsequently (and probably separately) to aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. These results have been discussed in relation to the available data on the associations between glycolytic enzymes and cellular structure, the possible physiological significance of this phenomenon, and the access to these problems provided by the present technique.

The glucose consumption rate versus ATP content in human red cells (regulatory patterns of glycolysis) and ATP concentration versus glucose uptake rate in red cell suspension (regulatory patterns of total ATPases), when the rate of glucose uptake is constant and lower than the rate of glucose consumption at physiological conditions, were measured at different pH values. The shape of both types of kinetic curves was found to be dependent on the pH of the incubation medium but the same for the red cells taken from different donors. It is supposed that at alkaline pH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase reactions become the rate-limiting steps of glycolysis instead of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase under physiological conditions.

In order to provide information on the relative binding characteristics of glycolytic enzymes, the effect of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) on the release of glycolytic enzymes from cultured pig kidney cells treated with digitonin has been studied. In the absence of FBP, a differential release of these enzymes was observed, with the order of retention being aldolase greater than glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase greater than glucosephosphate isomerase, triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerokinase, phosphoglucomutase, lactate dehydrogenase, enolase, pyruvate kinase and phosphofructokinase. In the presence of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the release of aldolase was considerably enhanced, whereas the release of phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase was decreased by this metabolite. No significant alterations in the rate of release of the other enzymes was caused by FBP. These data have been discussed in relation to their contribution to the knowledge of the degree of association and order of binding between glycolytic enzymes and the cytoplasmic matrix.

Gluteal muscle specimens were taken from 4 horses. From 1 of the 4 gluteal muscles, serial sections were prepared. Individual muscle fibers were identified and studied, using photomicrographs of sections stained by different enzyme histochemical methods. In specimens in which cytoplasmic soluble enzymes were studied, use was made of the semi-permeable membrane technique to hamper enzyme diffusion into reaction fluids. Enzymes involved in glycogenolysis, glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, synthesis of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, the pentose phosphate cycle, the alpha-glycerolphosphate shuttle, the respiratory chain, catabolism, and muscular contraction were studied. Some key enzymes of different metabolic pathways were also included. Each of 3 fiber types identified had distinct features. Type I fibers were characterized by a relatively strong aerobic capacity, compared with type IIA fibers, which were more glycolytic and had strong aerobic and moderate-to-strong anaerobic capacity. Type IIB fibers were characterized by a relatively low aerobic and a relatively high anaerobic capacity, and were glycolytic. Activities of phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and alpha-naphtylesterase (nonspecific esterase) were so markedly different in the 3 fiber types that fiber typing was possible, aided by the demonstration of the activities of these enzymes. In type IIB fibers, the pentose phosphate cycle was more important than in the other fiber types. Except for the unexplained high alpha-naphtylesterase activity in type IIB fibers, catabolic enzymes were not active in healthy equine muscle fibers.

Crude extracts of both vegetative cells and glycerol-induced microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus contained the following enzyme activities: phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, fructosediphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphopyruvate carboxylase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, and uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase. With the exception of isocitrate dehydrogenase, which was present at a fivefold higher concentration in microcysts, all activities in extracts from both types of cells were essentially equal. Hexokinase and pyruvate kinase could not be detected in extracts from either type of cell. Microcysts metabolized acetate at a lower rate than did vegetative cells. Most of this decrease was reflected in a substantial decrease in ability of microcysts to oxidize acetate to CO(2). In addition, microcysts and vegetative cells showed a different distribution of (14)C-label from incorporated acetate.

The contribution of defective energy metabolism to the induction of neuronal pathology by p-bromophenylacetylurea (BPAU) was examined in several ways. It was found that a saturated aqueous solution of BPAU had no effect on the activity of crystalline glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) or phosphofructokinase (PFK). In rats with total hindlimb paralysis from treatment with BPAU (400 mg/kg), the endogenous GAPDH and PFK of sciatic nerve showed normal activity. Endogenous enolase and nerve-specific enolase activities were likewise unaffected. Consequently, it appeared improbable that BPAU neuropathy involves impaired glycolysis. This conclusion was supported by the failure to prevent hindlimb weakness by feeding pyruvate, a substrate for the Krebs cycle. To test for interference with glycolysis at other steps, or for an impairment in oxidative phosphorylation, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate were measured. The amounts of high energy phosphates in nerves of paralyzed animals were found to be the same as in nerves of untreated and vehicle-treated controls. A similar observation was made in nerves regenerating from a crush injury. To test turnover, ATP and creatine phosphate were measured in nerves exposed to an N2 atmosphere in vitro. Since the high energy phosphates disappeared at the same rates in all groups, it was concluded that BPAU neuropathy does not alter energy utilization. In our view, BPAU neuropathy arises by a mechanism that does not depend on altered energy metabolism.

The effect of n-hexane, 2-hexanol, 5-hydroxy-2-hexanone, 2,5-hexanediol, methyl n-butyl ketone ( MnBK ) and 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) has been studied in vitro on crystalline glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), DL-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate: NAD oxidoreductase (phosphorylating) EC. 1.2.1.12 and phosphofructokinase (PFK) ATP: D-fructose-6-phosphate-1-phosphotransferase; EC. 2.7.1.11 and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) L-lactate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC. 1.1.1.27. MnBK and 2,5-HD both inhibited GAPDH and PFK activities selectively. n-Hexane and 2-hexanol had no effect on GAPDH and PFK activities; 5-hydroxy-2-hexanone and 2,5-hexanediol exhibited a slight inhibitory effect on these enzymes. Neither metabolites of n-hexane have any effect on LDH activity. 2,5-Hexanedione did not inhibit transketolase (D-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate: D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate glycolaldehyde transferase, EC. 2.2.1.1) and succinate dehydrogenase (succinate: 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol oxidoreductase, EC. 1.3.99.1) activities. The levels of ATP were reduced in 2,5-HD-treated cat sciatic nerves and returned to normal levels by exposing the nerve to sodium pyruvate.
