In order to evaluate properly red cell metabolic data obtained in newborns with congenital hemolytic disorders, the unique metabolic characteristics and normal developmental changes that occur prenatally and postnatally are presented. The age-dependent red cell glycolytic enzymes (hexokinase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and most glycolytic intermediates are elevated at birth and at 11 to 12 months of age, consistent with the presence of a young red cell population the entire first year of life. However, certain red cell enzymes are elevated out of proportion to the age of the red cell population [phosphoglucose isomerase. glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), and enolase (ENO)] whereas others are decreased [phosphofructokinase (PFK), glutathione peroxidase, carbonic anhydrase, and others]. These metabolic characteristics are felt to be unique and representative of "fetal erythropoiesis." Activities of PGK and ENO decrease the PFK increases toward normal adult values beginning at eight to nine weeks of age. The concentration of glucose-6-phosphate steadily increases after birth and peaks at three to four weeks of age, at a time when PFK activity remains relatively unchanged, suggesting a relative block in glycolysis at the PFK step secondary to an enzyme with both decreased activity and altered kinetic properties (a "fetal" isozyme). Thus, evaluation of red cell enzyme and glycolytic intermediate data obtained in the first year of life should be related to the knowledge that a young red cell population is present and the characteristic unique metabolic red cell alterations described in cord blood persist beyond the immediate neonatal period.

Yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) covalently attached to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B was shown to be capable of binding soluble yeast phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) in the course of incubation in the presence of an excess of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate. The association of the matrix-bound and soluble enzymes also occurred if the kinase was added to a reaction mixture in which the immobilized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and Pi had been preincubated. Three kinase molecules were bound per a tetramer of the immobilized dehydrogenase and one molecule per a dimer. An immobilized monomer of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was incapable of binding phosphoglycerate kinase. The matrix-bound bienzyme complexes were stable enough to survive extensive washings with a buffer and could be used repeatedly for activity determinations. Experimental evidence is presented to support the conclusion that 1,3-diphosphoglycerate produced by the kinase bound in a complex can dissociate into solution and be utilized by the dehydrogenase free of phosphoglycerate kinase.

Assay of maximal activities of 11 glycolytic enzymes in cell-free buffalo sperm extracts showed that hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase had the lowest activities, suggesting regulation of fructolysis at steps catalysed by these enzymes. The ratios of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphofructokinase (0.67) and phosphoglycerate kinase/phosphofructokinase (4.60) are typical of cells exhibiting high Pasteur effect (50% for ejaculated buffalo spermatozoa). The regulatory nature of phosphofructokinase was shown through its modulation by ATP, AMP and inorganic phosphate. The determination of fructolytic intermediates and cofactors and calculation of mass action ratios for each enzymic step revealed that hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, fructose-biphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase catalysed reactions far removed from the equilibrium. A regulatory role by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase appeared to be most likely because triosephosphates and inorganic phosphate accumulated more under anaerobic than under aerobic conditions.

Spinach-leaf ribulose-5-phosphate kinase catalyzes the reaction of (Rp)-[beta, gamma-18O, gamma-18O]adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) with ribulose 5-phosphate to form ribulose 1-[18O]phosphorothioate 5-phosphate. This product is incubated with CO2, Mg2+, and ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase to form the [18O]phosphorothioate of D-glycerate. Reduction of this material using phosphoglycerate kinase/ATP, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/NADH, triose-phosphate isomerase, and glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase/NADH produces glycerol 3-[18O]phosphorothioate, which is subjected to ring closure using diethylphosphorochloridate. This in-line reaction produces a diastereoisomeric mixture of glycerol 2,3-cyclic phosphorothioates. 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to analyze the 18O content of the products. The anti-diastereoisomer, which is the major isomer formed and corresponds to the downfield 31P NMR signal (Pliura, D.H., Schomburg, D., Richard, J.P., Frey, P.A., and Knowles, J.R. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 325-329), retains the 18O label. This observation indicates that the ribulose-5-phosphate kinase reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration at phosphorus. The reaction is, therefore, unlikely to involve the participation of a covalent phosphoryl-enzyme intermediate.

On the basis of the alternatives of direct inter-enzyme transfer vs. dissociation followed by random diffusion, two kinetic models for metabolite transfer between consecutive enzymes are developed. These two models are readily distinguishable experimentally for the transfer of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate (1,3-P2G) between glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK). Since 1,3-P2G is exceedingly tightly bound to PGK, the kinetics of its transfer to GPDH are predictably different for each of these two models. Our experiments unambiguously demonstrate that 1,3-P2G is directly transferred between these two enzymes via an enzyme-substrate-enzyme complex. This direct transfer is described by a Michaelis-Menten scheme in which PGK . 1,3-P2G is the "substrate" for GPDH. At high concentrations of PGK . 1,3-P2G, the transfer reaction becomes nearly PGK . 1,3-P2G concentration independent. The rate of the transfer reaction is activated 3.5-fold by saturating quantities of ATP and 20-fold by saturating quantities of 3-PG. Evidence is presented that the PGK . 1,3-P2G complex is structurally distinct from either PGK itself or other PGK . ligand complexes.

The archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus grows optimally at 100 degrees C by the fermentation of carbohydrates to yield acetate, CO2, and H2. Cell-free extracts contain very low activity of the glycolytic enzyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, but extremely high activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (GAPOR). GAPOR was purified under strictly anaerobic conditions. It is a monomeric, O2-sensitive protein of M(r) approximately 63,000 which contains pterin and approximately 1 tungsten and 6 iron atoms per molecule. The enzyme oxidized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (Km 28 microM) to 3-phosphoglycerate and reduced P. furiosus ferredoxin (Km 6 microM), but it did not oxidize formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glyceraldehyde, benzaldehyde, glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, or glyoxylate, nor did it use NAD(P) as an electron acceptor. It is proposed that GAPOR has a glycolytic role and functions in place of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and possibly phosphoglycerate kinase.

The GCR1 gene product is required for maximal transcription of yeast glycolytic genes and for growth of yeast strains in media containing glucose as a carbon source. Dominant mutations in two genes, SGC1 and SGC2, as well as recessive mutations in the SGC5 gene were identified as suppressors of the growth and transcriptional defects caused by a gcr1 null mutation. The wild-type and mutant alleles of SGC1 were cloned and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence of the SGC1 gene product includes a region with substantial similarity to the basic-helix-loop-helix domain of the Myc family of DNA-binding proteins. The SGC1-1 dominant mutant allele contained a substitution of glutamine for a highly conserved glutamic acid residue within the putative basic DNA binding domain. A second dominant mutant, SGC1-2, contained a valine-for-isoleucine substitution within the putative loop region. The SGC1-1 dominant mutant suppressed the GCR1 requirement for enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, and pyruvate kinase gene expression. Expression of the yeast enolase genes was reduced three- to fivefold in strains carrying an sgc1 null mutation, demonstrating that SGC1 is required for maximal enolase gene expression. Expression of the enolase genes in strains carrying gcr1 and sgc1 double null mutations was substantially less than observed for strains carrying either null mutation alone, suggesting that GCR1 and SGC1 function on parallel pathways to activate yeast glycolytic gene expression.

alpha-Acetolactate decarboxylase (ALDC) gene from Acetobacter aceti ssp. xylinum has several possible initiation codons in the N-terminus. To determine the initiation codon of the ALDC giving the highest expression levels, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) promoter was linked just upstream of each possible initiation codon. The ALDC whose translation starts 130 bp downstream from the first ATG codon had the highest activity in yeast cells. When expression levels of the ALDC gene were compared using three strong yeast promoters of glycolytic genes, alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADC1), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) and GPD, the GPD promoter was the strongest. The ALDC gene was integrated in a ribosomal RNA gene of a brewer's yeast by co-transformation with an expression plasmid of G418-resistance gene. The laboratory-scale growth test confirmed that the total diacetyl concentration was reduced in wort.

To investigate whether the energy derived from glycolysis is functionally coupled to Ca2+ active transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), we determined whether glycolytic enzymes were associated with SR membranes and whether metabolism through these enzymes was capable of supporting 45Ca transport. Sealed right-side-out SR vesicles were isolated by step sucrose gradient from rabbit skeletal and cardiac muscle. Intravesicular 45Ca transport was measured after the addition of glycolytic substrates and cofactors specific for each of the glycolytic reactions being studied or after the addition of exogenous ATP and was expressed as transport sensitive to the specific Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin. We found that the entire chain of glycolytic enzymes from aldolase onward, including aldolase, GAPDH, phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), phosphoglyceromutase, enolase, and pyruvate kinase (PK), was associated with SR vesicles from both cardiac and skeletal muscle. Iodoacetic acid, an inhibitor of GAPDH, eliminated 45Ca transport supported by fructose-1,6-diphosphate, the substrate for aldolase, but transport was completely restored by phosphoenolpyruvate (the substrate for PK), indicating that both of the ATP-producing glycolytic enzymes, GAPDH/PGK and PK, were associated with the SR and functionally capable of providing ATP for the Ca2+ pump. Addition of a soluble hexokinase ATP trap eliminated 45Ca transport fueled by exogenous ATP but had markedly less effect on 45Ca transport supported by endogenously produced ATP (via glycolysis). Similarly, at very low concentrations of ATP and ADP (10 to 50 nmol/L), ATP that was produced endogenously from ADP and phosphoenolpyruvate supported 15-fold more 45Ca transport than ATP that was supplied exogenously at the same concentration. These results are consistent with functional coupling of glycolytic ATP to Ca2+ transport and support the hypothesis that ATP generated by SR-associated glycolytic enzymes may play an important role in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis by driving the SR Ca2+ pump.

The structure of the key glycolytic enzyme 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is known in detail, but there is little information on its reaction pathway. We have studied its equilibrium and transient kinetics in the direction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-bis-P-glycerate) production: ATP + 3-P-glycerate<==>ADP + 1,3-bis-P-glycerate. We devised a sensitive method for following this production. PGK is mixed with 3-P-glycerate and [gamma-32P]ATP in a rapid flow quench apparatus. The reaction mixtures are aged for 4 ms or more and then quenched in acid in which any [1-32P]-1,3-P-glycerate decomposes to 3-P-glycerate and 32Pi, which is determined specifically. The Pi reflects accurately the 1,3-bis-P-glycerate in the original reaction mixture, and the kcat obtained is identical to that obtained by the conventional linked assay method with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This does not support the postulate of a rapid direct transfer of the 1,3-bis-P-glycerate between the kinase and the dehydrogenase [Srivastava, D. K., & Bernhard, S. A. (1986) Science 234, 1081-1086]. We fitted our data to a simple scheme with the formation of binary complexes, the interconversion of substrates to products via ternary complexes, and the release of products. Because of the high turnover of PGK, the work was carried out under cryoenzymic conditions with 40% ethylene glycol in the buffer. The glycol decreased kcat from 80 to 8.5 s-1 (pH 7.5, 4 degrees C), but the Km for 3-P-glycerate and ATP and the equilibrium constants in the scheme were little affected. We carried out two types of experiment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
