Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was found to bind in vitro to purified, human erythrocyte glucose transporter reconstituted into vesicles. Mild tryptic digestion of the glucose transporter totally inactivated the binding, suggesting that the cytoplasmic domain of the transporter is involved in the binding to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The binding was abolished in the presence of antisera raised against the purified glucose transporter, further supporting specificity of this interaction. The binding was reversible with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 3.3 x 10(-6) M and a total capacity (Bt) of approximately 30 nmol/mg of protein indicating a stoichiometry of one enzyme-tetramer per accessible transporter. The binding was sensitive to changes in pH showing an optimum at around pH 7.0. KCl and NaCl inhibited the binding in a simple dose-dependent manner with Ki of 40 and 20 mM, respectively. The binding was also inhibited by NAD+ with an estimated Ki of 3 mM. ATP, on the other hand, enhanced the binding by up to 3-fold in a dose-dependent manner with an apparent Ka of approximately 6 mM. The binding was not affected by D-glucose or cytochalasin B. The binding did not affect either the glucose or cytochalasin B in binding affinities or the transport activity of the transporter. However, the enzyme was inactivated totally upon binding to the transporter. Based on these findings, we suggest that a significant portion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in human erythrocytes exists as an inactive form via an ATP-dependent, reversible association with glucose transporter, and that this association may exert regulatory intervention on nucleotide metabolism in vitro.

In this communication an enzyme histochemical multistep technique for the demonstration of class 1 fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase in heart and skeletal muscle sections is described. With this technique a semipermeable membrane is interposed between the incubating solution and the tissue sections preventing diffusion of the enzyme into the medium during incubation. In the histochemical system the enzyme cleaves the substrate D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. The dihydroxyacetone phosphate is reversibly converted into D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by exogenous and endogenous triose phosphate isomerase. Next the D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is oxidized by exogenous and endogenous glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the electrons are transported concomitantly via NAD+, phenazine methosulphate and menadione to nitro-BT. Sodium azide and amytal are incorporated to block electron transfer to the cytochromes.

An interaction of rabbit muscle D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and 3-phosphoglycerate kinase labeled with FITC was studied by following the changes in fluorescence intensity of the bound dye. The association between the two enzymes was found to be a rather slow process characterized by a second order rate constant of 1.1 +/- 0.2.10(3) M-1 s-1, the KD of the complex between apoenzymes being 3.2.10(-7) M. The stability of the complex increased upon increase of temperature and ionic strength of the medium, suggesting a hydrophobic character of association. The ligands which bind at the active centers of the two enzymes (NAD+, ATP, 3-phosphoglycerate) weakened the bienzyme association. Unlabeled 3-phosphoglycerate kinase was unable to displace the FITC-labeled enzyme from the complex. Taken together, the results indicate that interaction between D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and 3-phosphoglycerate kinase labeled by FITC is assisted by the dye, which may bind at nucleotide-binding sites of GPDH. No interaction was observed between the FITC-labeled 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, which suggests that protein-protein interaction at specific "recognition" sites may be a prerequisite for the complex formation.

H2O2 concentrations only slightly higher than normal physiological levels found in the lens and aqueous fluid produce a significant number of DNA single-strand breaks in lens epithelial cell cultures. In this investigation, the repair of DNA damaged by short-term, H2O2-induced oxidation was examined in bovine lens epithelial cell cultures. Repair was rapidly initiated and was almost completed in 30 min. A drop in NAD concentration was associated with the DNA damage. 3-Aminobenzamide inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, an enzyme believed to be stimulated by DNA oxidation and involved in DNA repair, prevented the loss of NAD. In contrast, a similar drop in ATP concentration was only slightly lessened by the presence of this inhibitor. Inhibition of the polymerase by 3-aminobenzamide primarily affected only the early recovery period. Overall, recovery occurred almost as effectively in the presence of the inhibitor as in its absence. Preincubation of lens cultures with o-phenanthroline, an iron chelator, prevented the drop in NAD levels associated with DNA damage. Since a hydroxyl radical is produced from H2O2 by a Fenton type reaction, this result supports the concept that the H2O2-induced oxidation of DNA is caused by hydroxyl radical. In contrast, peroxide-induced loss of activity of a cytosolic enzyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, was unaffected by the presence of o-phenanthroline, suggesting direct H2O2 oxidation of this enzyme. The results of these experiments suggest that lens epithelium contains enzymes that rapidly repair single-strand DNA breaks induced by H2O2 insult.

Perdeuterated spin label (DSL) analogs of NAD+, with the spin label attached at either the C8 or N6 position of the adenine ring, have been employed in an EPR investigation of models for negative cooperativity binding to tetrameric glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and conformational changes of the DSL-NAD+-enzyme complex during the catalytic reaction. C8-DSL-NAD+ and N6-DSL-NAD+ showed 80 and 45% of the activity of the native NAD+, respectively. Therefore, these spin-labeled compounds are very efficacious for investigations of the motional dynamics and catalytic mechanism of this dehydrogenase. Perdeuterated spin labels enhanced spectral sensitivity and resolution thereby enabling the simultaneous detection of spin-labeled NAD+ in three conditions: (1) DSL-NAD+ freely tumbling in the presence of, but not bound to, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, (2) DSL-NAD+ tightly bound to enzyme subunits remote (58 A) from other NAD+ binding sites, and (3) DSL-NAD+ bound to adjacent monomers and exhibiting electron dipolar interactions (8-9 A or 12-13 A, depending on the analog). Determinations of relative amounts of DSL-NAD+ in these three environments and measurements of the binding constants, K1-K4, permitted characterization of the mathematical model describing the negative cooperativity in the binding of four NAD+ to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. For enzyme crystallized from rabbit muscle, EPR results were found to be consistent with the ligand-induced sequential model and inconsistent with the pre-existing asymmetry models. The electron dipolar interaction observed between spin labels bound to two adjacent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase monomers (8-9 or 12-13 A) related by the R-axis provided a sensitive probe of conformational changes of the enzyme-DSL-NAD+ complex. When glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate was covalently bound to the active site cysteine-149, an increase in electron dipolar interaction was observed. This increase was consistent with a closer approximation of spin labels produced by steric interactions between the phosphoglyceryl residue and DSL-NAD+. Coenzyme reduction (DSL-NADH) or inactivation of the dehydrogenase by carboxymethylation of the active site cysteine-149 did not produce changes in the dipolar interactions or spatial separation of the spin labels attached to the adenine moiety of the NAD+. However, coenzyme reduction or carboxymethylation did alter the stoichiometry of binding and caused the release of approximately one loosely bound DSL-NAD+ from the enzyme. These findings suggest that ionic charge interactions are important in coenzyme binding at the active site.

The binding of a spin-labeled AMP analog to tetrameric glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle is described. The spin label, perdeuterated and 15N-substituted 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, was attached to C-8 of AMP (C8-SL-AMP). Up to 8 equivalents of C8-SL-AMP bind per enzyme tetramer, i.e., 2 per monomer. Combining sites are the adenine subsite of the coenzyme-binding domain and the phosphate site. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate causes a conformational change in the enzyme that brings C8-SL-AMP molecules bound to adjacent R-axis-related subunits closer to one another by 0.2-0.3 nm and allows for spin-spin interaction between the nitroxide radicals. Similar, but less pronounced structural changes take place upon lowering the pH from 8 to 7. Addition of a single equivalent of NAD+ to a complex of the enzyme with 7.6 equivalents of C8-SL-AMP leads to the release of almost 4 C8-SL-AMP molecules. This supports our previous findings that binding of just one NAD+ molecule induces conformational changes in all four subunits.

Ornithine uptake by rat kidney mitochondria is here first shown by monitoring the reduction of the intramitochondrial pyridine nucleotides which occurs as a result of metabolism of imported ornithine via ornithine aminotransferase and 1-pyrroline-carboxylate dehydrogenase. Ornithine uptake shows saturation features (Km and Vmax values, measured at 20 degrees C and at pH 7.20, were found to be about 0.85 mM and 23 nmoles/min x mg protein, respectively) and proves to be inhibited by D-ornithine, inorganic phosphate, praseodimium chloride and mersalyl. Neither malate nor glutamate, but phosphate was found to exchange with ornithine. Phosphate efflux caused by externally added ornithine was shown both as revealed by a c colorimetric assay and as continuously monitored by measuring extramitochondrial reduction of NAD+ in the presence of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, ADP and 3-phosphoglycerate kinase. The role of ornithine carrier in kidney metabolism will also be discussed.

1. The kinetics of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate binding to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase have been examined by stopped-flow techniques in the absence and presence of phosphoglycerate kinase, using enzyme concentrations in the range 0.5-40 microM. Rate and equilibrium constant estimates for the interaction of the ligand with the two enzymes are reported. 2. The kinetics of ligand transfer from the binary complex of bisphosphoglycerate and phosphoglycerate kinase to the binary complex of NAD+ and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase conform excellently to the predictions of a standard free-diffusion mechanism and exhibit no detectable contributions from a mechanism of direct (channelized) transfer of bisphosphoglycerate between the two enzymes. 3. Previously reported evidence that the binary complex of bisphosphoglycerate and phosphoglycerate kinase may act (in the presence of NADH) as a substrate for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics is based on a misinterpretation of the experimental observations that can be attributed to neglect of the autocatalytic effect of NAD+ produced during the reaction. Experiments performed under conditions where the autocatalytic effect of NAD+ is eliminated provide clear evidence that the kinetics of utilization of the kinase-bisphosphoglycerate complex for enzymic NADH reduction are consistent with prior dissociation of the complex according to a free-diffusion mechanism of metabolite transfer and incompatible with a mechanism of direct metabolite transfer. 4. A kinetic argument is presented which renders implausible the very idea that direct metabolite transfer between 'soluble' consecutive enzymes in metabolic pathways may offer any catalytic advantages in comparison to metabolite transfer by free diffusion. A mechanism of direct metabolite transfer seems intuitively attractive only because one tends to disregard the diffusional processes required to bring the consecutive enzymes together and to separate them when the transfer has been completed. Direct metabolite transfer would be expected to be catalytically advantageous only in tightly bound multienzyme complexes showing no kinetically significant tendency to dissociate. 5. It is concluded that mechanisms of direct metabolite transfer have not been convincingly demonstrated to apply, nor are they likely to apply, between 'soluble' consecutive enzymes in metabolic pathways, at least not in the glycolytic sequence of reactions.

Glycolytic enzymes have been observed to associate in vitro with membranes and cytoplasmic filaments in a variety of systems, but their distribution in vivo is contested. We have therefore examined the distribution of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD) in the intact human erythrocyte using indirect immunofluorescence and affinity-purified rabbit antibodies to G3PD. Antibody specificity was demonstrated by immunoblotting as well as immunofluorescence experiments with ghosts specifically depleted of and reconstituted with G3PD. Anti-G3PD immunolabeling experiments utilized both fixed whole cells and fixed cell suspensions infused with 2.3 M sucrose, frozen and thick-sectioned. In all experiments a two-step fixation protocol was employed which ensured that cytoplasmic hemoglobin was retained when cells were subjected to Triton X-100 permeabilization, the anti-genicity of G3PD was preserved, and antibody penetration was complete. We used mixtures of biotinylated affinity-purified antibodies to G3PD and dichlorotriazinylaminofluorescein-labeled, affinity-purified antibodies to hemoglobin, followed by rhodamine-streptavidin, in double-label experiments. In both whole and sectioned human erythrocytes, G3PD staining was predominantly membrane associated while hemoglobin staining was diffusely distributed throughout the cytoplasm. In isolated ghosts, some G3PD was tightly bound to the membrane and was resistant to elution with phosphate-buffered saline and NAD+/arsenate. However, in immunolabeled rat reticulocytes and erythrocytes G3PD was cytoplasmic. Nucleated human blood cells and platelets also exhibited cytoplasmic G3PD. In approximately 10% of the human erythrocyte population G3PD was also cytoplasmic. These cells were flatter in shape and exhibited strong cytoplasmic immunolabeling for hemoglobin which was sometimes concentrated along the cell membrane; possibly, these cells were late reticulocytes or early erythrocytes. We conclude that G3PD is preferentially associated with the plasma membrane of human erythrocytes in a specific fashion.

Ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) spectra, with 260-nm excitation, are reported for oxidized and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NAD+ and NADH, respectively). Corresponding spectra are reported for these coenzymes when bound to the enzymes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and liver and yeast alcohol dehydrogenases (LADH and YADH). The observed differences between the coenzyme spectra are interpreted in terms of conformation, hydrogen bonding, and general environment polarity differences between bound and free coenzymes and between coenzymes bound to different enzymes. The possibility of adenine protonation is discussed. UVRR spectra with 220-nm excitation also are reported for holo- and apo-GAPDH (GAPDH-NAD+ and GAPDH alone, respectively). In contrast with the 260-nm spectra, these show only bands due to vibrations of aromatic amino acid residues of the protein. The binding of coenzyme to GAPDH has no significant effect on the aromatic amino acid bands observed. This result is discussed in the light of the known structural change of GAPDH on binding coenzyme. Finally, UVRR spectra with 240-nm excitation are reported for GAPDH and an enzyme-substrate intermediate of GAPDH. Perturbations are reported for tyrosine and tryptophan bands on forming the acyl enzyme.
