The human X-linked phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) gene, which is expressed in all somatic cells, was cloned and its structure was determined. The gene is interrupted by 10 introns and spans 23 kilobases. When projected on the three-dimensional structure of the PGK protein molecule, splice junctions are located between established peptide domains. In particular, an intron separates the two mononucleotide subdomains of the ATP-binding region, and additional introns divide each of these subdomains between their characteristic beta-strands. Similar correlations are found in the bipartite NAD-binding domains of alcohol dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Furthermore, in each case the nucleotide-binding domain is separated from the catalytic domain by at least one intron. The homology of the exon organization in structurally similar regions of these three enzymes suggests that a nucleotide-binding domain evolved by gene duplication and was subsequently dispersed to different proteins through a process of intron-mediated recombination.

Low concentrations of sulfite or nitrite (about 0.5 mmol) when applied at pH 3.6, caused a rapid and drastic decrease of the concentration of ATP in yeast cells. Under these conditions, alcoholic fermentation was inhibited by sulfite and to a lesser extent by nitrite. Ethanol consumption under aerobic conditions was shown to be more sensitive to nitrite than to sulfite. This indicates a higher sensitivity of respiratory processes to nitrite than to sulfite. Among 15 enzyme activities assayed in extracts from yeast cells after incubation with sulfite or nitrite, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was shown to be the most sensitive. Analysis of the steady-state concentrations of intermediates of alcoholic fermentation in intact yeast cells also implies inhibition by sulfite or nitrite of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase step of fermentation. In contrast to nitrite, sulfite had an additional effect by accumulating the intracellular steady state concentration of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate 10 to 100-fold over the concentration in the absence of sulfite. In vitro studies on the equilibrium catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase or aldolase confirmed the postulated shift of equilibrium concentrations by a formation of complex of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate with sulfite.

Several enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo by retroviral transforming protein kinases. These substrates include the enzymes phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM), enolase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Here we show that purified EGF (epidermal growth factor)-receptor kinase phosphorylates the enzymes PGM and enolase and also the key regulatory enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), in an EGF-dependent manner. Stoichiometry of phosphate incorporation into GAPDH (calculated from native Mr) is the highest, reaching approximately 1. LDH and other enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are not phosphorylated by the purified EGF-receptor kinase. These enzymes are phosphorylated under native conditions, and the Km values of EGF-receptor kinase for their phosphorylation are close to the physiological concentrations of these enzymes in the cell. EGF stimulates the reaction by 2-5-fold by increasing the Vmax. without affecting the Km of this process. Phosphorylation is rapid at 22 degrees C and at higher temperatures. However, unlike the self-phosphorylation of EGF-receptor, which occurs at 4 degrees C, the glycolytic enzymes are poorly phosphorylated at this temperature. Some enzymes, in particular enolase, increase the receptor Km for ATP in the autophosphorylation process and thus may act as competitive inhibitors of EGF-receptor self-phosphorylation. On the basis of the Km values of EGF receptor for the substrate enzymes and for ATP in the phosphorylation reaction, these enzymes may also be substrates in vivo for the EGF-receptor kinase.

31P NMR magnetization-transfer measurements were used to measure flux between inorganic phosphate and ATP in the reactions catalyzed by phosphoglycerate kinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in anaerobic cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Flux between ATP and Pi and glucose consumption and ethanol production were measured in cells expressing different levels of phosphoglycerate kinase activity. Overexpression of the enzyme was obtained by transforming the cells with a multicopy plasmid containing the phosphoglycerate kinase coding sequence and portions of the promoter element. Fluxes were also measured in cells in which the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity had been lowered by limited incubation with iodoacetate. These measurements showed that both enzymes have low flux control coefficients for glycolysis but that phosphoglycerate kinase has a relatively high flux control coefficient for the ATP----Pi exchange catalyzed by the two enzymes. The Pi----ATP exchange velocities observed in the cell were shown to be similar to those displayed by the isolated enzymes in vitro under conditions designed to mimic those in the cell with respect to the enzyme substrate concentrations.

The experimental results summarized here suggest a mechanism of oxidant induced cell injury which begins with the generation of DNA strand breaks. The mechanism of the generation of these breaks is currently under investigation. The presence of DNA strand breaks activates pADPr polymerase which causes the conversion of cellular NAD to pADPr and free nicotinamide. It is likely that low levels of NAD are associated with inhibition of glycolysis and thereby contribute to the oxidant-induced fall in cell ATP. Additional factors are likely to contribute to altered cell metabolism following oxidant injury. Hyslop has shown that the Vmax of a critical enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, is decreased following exposure to oxidant. Finally, it is likely that the oxidative phosphorylation functions of the mitochondrial membrane may also be perturbed by oxidant injury. The extent to which these alterations in cell metabolism occur in vivo following exposure to oxidants may be of great importance to our understanding of acute inflammatory tissue injury.

Both NAD- and NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) (EC 1.2.1.12) activities were detected in glucose-grown cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO. After growth on gluconeogenic substrates such as citrate, the activity of the NAD-G3PDH was reduced severalfold in contrast to little change for the NADP-G3PDH. The two G3PDH activities could be separated by ammonium sulphate fractionation. PAGE revealed the presence of two G3PDH isoenzymes of 140 (NADP-specific) and 315 (NAD-specific) kDa. Slight differences were observed in the thermostabilities and pH optima of the two enzymes whereas the regulation of their activities by various compounds varied strongly. The NADP-G3PDH enzyme was activated by ATP, reduced NAD, and fructose 6-phosphate. It was inhibited by fructose 1,6-diphosphate and 6-phosphogluconate. The NAD-G3PDH enzyme was inhibited by ATP, reduced NAD, and 6-phosphogluconate; it was slightly activated by reduced NADP. The possible roles of these isoenzymes in the control of hexose catabolism and gluconeogenesis in P. aeruginosa are discussed.

During heat shock, Xenopus laevis embryos exhibit an increase in the rate of accumulation of lactate and a loss of ATP relative to non-heat-shocked control embryos. These results suggest that heat shock stimulates a shift in energy metabolism to anaerobic glycolysis while at the same time causing an increase in the demand for ATP. We have evidence indicating that the embryo may meet such demands placed on it by increasing the levels of some glycolytic enzymes. In this report, we show that heat shock stimulates increases in the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [( EC 1.2.1.12] GAPDH). The specific activity of GAPDH shows a significant increase after heat shock, which correlates with the accumulation of GAPDH in heat-shocked embryos as detected by immunoblotting. Increases in GAPDH-specific activity are variable, however, and are inversely proportional to the levels of specific activity in control embryos; i.e., constitutive enzyme activity. We further analyzed the heat-enhanced accumulation of GAPDH by electrophoretically separating GAPDH isozymes on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. Control embryos exhibit a single isozyme of GAPDH, whereas heat-shocked embryos exhibit two isozymes of GAPDH. When these isozymes are labeled with [35S]methionine, separated by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis, and analyzed by fluorography, a heat-shock protein is found to comigrate with the isozyme unique to the heat-shocked sample. Enzyme activity assays at different temperatures suggest that this isozyme has optimum enzymatic activity only at heat-shock temperatures. We have correlated a 35-kD heat-shock protein (hsp35) with GAPDH using the following evidence: this hsp comigrates with GAPDH on one-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide gels; heat-enhanced increases in GAPDH specific activity correlate with hsp35 synthesis; and hsp35 and GAPDH have similar peptide maps. This relationship also provides a compelling explanation for the restriction of hsp35 synthesis to the vegetal hemisphere cells of heat-shocked early gastrulae reported previously (Nickells, R. W., and L. W. Browder. 1985. Dev. Biol. 112:391-395).

A previously developed animal model of exercise-induced muscle contractures, which utilized intra-aortic injection of iodoacetate (IOA) to inhibit the second stage glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, showed histological evidence of selective type II muscle fiber involvement with sparing of the type I muscle fibers. A new model has been developed using dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) as a selective inhibitor of creatine phosphokinase in a similar, but slightly modified distal aortic injection protocol. Two hours after the injection of a dinitrofluorobenzene solution of 2.22 mg/kg body weight, spontaneous electrically-silent contracture developed in the injected lower extremity, involving principally the soleus muscle. Histologically, selective damage was apparent in the type I muscle fibers, with sparing of the type II muscle fibers. The contrast in findings associated with iodoacetate inhibition of glycolysis or with DNFB inhibition of the phosphocreatine shuttle suggests that type I and type II fibers have markedly different usable pools of readily available ATP: type II fibers must rely on the minute-by-minute replenishment of the usable pool of ATP from glycolysis, while type I fibers must regenerate the usable pool of ATP from phosphocreatine through a creatine phosphokinase-mediated process.

It has been shown recently that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPD) is one of the three major RNA-binding proteins of rabbit reticulocytes [Ryazanov, A. G. (1985) FEBS Lett. 192, 131-134]. It was suggested that, due to its RNA-binding capacity, GAPD can form loose dynamic complexes with polyribosomes. This communication reports that a considerable amount of GAPD activity can be found in the mono- and polyribosome fraction after sucrose gradient centrifugation of rabbit reticulocyte lysate. An increase of ionic strength, as well as the addition of exogenous RNA to the extract, result in the removal of GAPD from the complex with mono- and polyribosomes. It appears that GAPD forms the complex with polyribosomes due to the interaction with some exposed RNA regions of these structures. Although the interaction of GAPD with ribosomes is weak, it can be detected under physiological ionic conditions by the difference boundary sedimentation velocity technique. Association of GAPD with mono- and polyribosomes can be prevented by a low concentration (10 microM) of NADH, but not NAD+. A nitrocellulose filter binding assay also shows that NADH has a stronger inhibitory effect on the enzyme-RNA complex formation, as compared with NAD+. We propose that the RNA-mediated association of GAPD with mono- and polyribosomes can provide compartmentation of the energy-supplying system on these structures within the cell. This can maintain a high local concentration of ATP and GTP near the sites of protein synthesis.

Treatment of a yeast suspension with ozone inactivates a number of cytosolic enzymes. Among 15 studied, the most drastic inactivation was found for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and to lesser extents: NAD-glutamate dehydrogenase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase-1 and NAD-alcohol dehydrogenase. Ozone treatment also effects the quantity of ATP and of other nucleoside triphosphates, reducing to about 50% of the initial value. The ATP missing in the cells appears in the medium. NAD and protein also accumulate in the medium suggesting that the yeast cells have been permeabilized. Permeabilization of the yeast cells by treatment with ozone precedes the inactivation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and other cytosolic enzymes.
