Glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate : NADP+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.13) from spinach chloroplasts is a polymeric protein of approx. 600,000 daltons and sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis shows that it consists of two subunits of molecular weight 43,000 and 37,000. Comparison of amino acid analyses and tryptic peptide maps indicates that the two subunits have a different primary structure. The native enzyme contains 0.5 mol of NADP+ and 0.5 mol of NAD+ per protomer of 80,000 daltons, no reduced pyridine nucleotides have been detected. Almost complete inactivation is obtained by reaction of two cysteinyl residues per 80,000 daltons with tetrathionate or iodo[14C2]acetic acid; since the same amount of radioactivity is incorporated in the two subunits it is likely that they are both essential for the catalytic activity. Charcoal stripping of native glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase produces an apoprotein which still retains most of the enzymatic activity but, unlike the holoenzyme, is gradually inactivated by storage at 4 degrees C and does not react with iodoacetate under the same conditions in which the holoenzyme is completely inactivated.

Activities of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12) (GAP-DH) and aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) in cells of Clostridium perfringens that had been inhibited with sodium nitrite were investigated. A complete loss in GAP-DH activity and a 67% decrease in aldolase activity were observed when growth of C. perfringens was inhibited. There was also a 91% decrease in the concentration of free sulfhydryl groups of soluble cellular components. Dithiothreitol restored some activity to inactive GAP-DH from sodium nitrite-inhibited cells, indicating that a loss of reduced sulfhydryl groups was involved in the inactivation of the enzyme. The evidence presented suggests that sodium nitrite inhibition of C. perfringens may involve an interaction of sodium nitrite as nitrous acid with sulfhydryl-containing constituents of the bacterial cell.

An NAD+-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC. 1.2.1.12) has been purified from spinach leaves as a homogeneous protein of 150,000 daltons. Kinetic constants of 2.5 . 10(-4) M and 4 . 10(-4) M have been calculated for NAD+ and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, respectively. The amino acid composition is characterized by a cysteine content higher than that found in analogous enzymes. On sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis, the native enzyme dissociates into two subunits of 37,000 and 14,000 daltons. The two subunits have been isolated in equimolar amounts by gel filtration; end-group analysis shows that alanine is the N-terminal residue of the large subunit, while serine is found at the N-terminus of the small subunit. Comparison of amino acid analysies and peptide maps shows that the two subunits have a different amino acid sequence. These results indicate that the NAD+-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, dehydrogenase, isolated from spinach leaves has an atypical oligomeric structure, the protomer being formed by two different subunits.

When chicken breast muscle was homogenized in water, approximately 86% of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was associated with the particulate fraction. The enzyme was solubilized by increasing pH with a very marked increase in the pH range of 6.9 to 7.1. At low ionic strength (about 0.015), approximately 50% of the enzyme is solubilized at pH 7.5 and above. Increasing ionic strength also led to increased solubilization. In addition, there was a specific cation effect with Ca2+ greater than Mg2+ greater than K+ greater than Na+ at a constant ionic strength. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate were effective in partially solubilizing the enzyme. Solubilized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase can rebind to the particulate fraction of the homogenized muscle. The soluble form of the enzyme has a higher V and a higher Km (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) than the enzyme bound to the particulate fraction.

Binding of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the membrane protein known as Band 6, causes shifts in the 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the substrate (Fossel, E.T. and Solomon, A.K (1977) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 464, 82--92). We have studied the resonance shifts produced by varying the sodium/potassium ratio, at constant ionic strength, in order to examine the relationship between the cation transport system and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Alteration of the potassium concentration at the extracellular face of the vesicle affects the conformation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase at the cytoplasmic face, thus showing that a conformation changed induced by a change in extracellular potassium can be transmitted across the membrane. Alterations of the sodium concentration at the cytoplasmic face also affect the enzyme conformation, whereas sodium changes at the extracellular face are without effect. In contrast, there is no sidedness difference in the effect of potassium concentrations. The half-values for these effects are like those for activation of the red cell (Na4 + K+)-ATPase. We have also produced ionic concentration gradients across the vesicle similar to those Glynn and Lew (1970) J. Physiol. London 207, 393--402) found to be effective in running the cation pump backwards to produce adenosine triphosphate in the human red cell. The sodium/potassium concentration dependence of this process in red cells is mimicked by 31P resonance shifts in the (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate/glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/inside out vesicle) system. These experiments provide strong support for the existence of a functional linkage between the membrane (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase at the cytoplasmic face.

Human erythrocyte ghosts were solubilized in a low ionic strength medium containing 1% Triton X-100 and subjected to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing Triton X-100. Five major bands were stained with Coomassie Blue, all except one band being heterogenous when re-electrophoresed in gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate. It was possible to detect acetylcholinesterase, non-specific esterase, ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aldolase activities on the Triton-containing polyacrylamide gels. Two of the enzymes, ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase, showed substantial inhibition by Triton X-100 in quantitative studies. This appears to be a useful method for studying membrane enzymes in normal and pathological red cells.

Human erythrocyte membranes were prepared in three ways: washing in hypotonic Tris buffer, pH 7.6, by lysis in isotonic Tris buffer pH 7.6 after incubation at 37 degrees C for 2 hours and by ultrasonication in an isotonic medium, pH 7.6. Analysis of the major polypeptides of the erythrocyte membranes by sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a selective depletion of a major polypeptide representing glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the membranes prepared by high osmolarity lysis. The pattern of seperation of the remaining polypeptides was identical in the 3 different membrane preparations.

A patient with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) was found to have glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD) deficiency by electrophoresis of the isolated red cell membranes on polyacrylamide gels with sodium dodecyl sulfate (PAGE SDS) as demonstrated by a diminished band 6 (G3PD) and confirmed by specific enzyme assay. Thirteen members of his family were studied: four were normal, two had HS alone, three had G3PD deficiency alone, and four had both HS and G3PD deficiency. G3PD deficient kindred members were probably heterozygous, since their red cell enzyme, while qualitatively normal, was present in half normal amounts. The G3PD deficiency alone was asymptomatic, and there was no evidence that the combination of HS with G3PD deficiency increased the clinical severity of the disease. However, G3PD deficiency, when combined with HS, was associated with an increase in protein band 4.5 on PAGE SDS. This band was also increased by incubation of normal red cells without glucose, and appeared to be a protein absorbed to the membrane as a consequence of metabolic stress. Hence, red cells with the combined abnormalities of both HS and G3PD deficiency showed signs of the exceptional metabolic stress to which they were exposed.

Using conditions that produced chronic inflammation in rat liver, we were able to find a correlation between induction of nitric oxide production and inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; EC 1.2.1.12). This enzyme is a tetramer composed of identical M(r) 37,000 subunits. The tetramer contains 16 thiol groups, four of which are essential for enzymatic activity. Our information indicates that four thiol groups are S-nitrosylated by exposure to authentic nitric oxide (NO) gas. Furthermore, NO decreased GAPDH activity while increasing its auto-ADP-ribosylation. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and dithiothreitol are required for the S-nitrosylation of GAPDH caused by the NO-generating compound sodium nitroprusside. Our results suggests that a new and important action of nitric oxide on cells is the S-nitrosylation and inactivation of GAPDH. S-Nitrosylation of GAPDH may be a key covalent modification of multiple regulatory consequences in chronic liver inflammation.

In Drosophila melanogaster there are two genes which encode the enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), Gapdh-43E and Gapdh-13F. We have shown that Gapdh-43E codes for the GAPDH subunit with an apparently larger molecular weight while Gapdh-13F encodes the GAPDH subunit having an apparently smaller molecular weight. Immunoblots of sodium dodecyl sulfate gels were used to survey species from throughout the genus and results indicated that two classes of GAPDH subunits are present only in Drosophila species of the melanogaster and takahashi subgroups of the melanogaster group. Only the smaller subunit is found in species of the obscura group while all other species have only a large subunit. Drosophila hydei was analyzed at the DNA level as a representative species of the subgenus Drosophila. The genome of this species has a single Gapdh gene which is localized at a cytogenetic position likely to be homologous to Gapdh-43 E of D. melanogaster. Comparison of its sequence with the sequence of the D. melanogaster Gapdh genes indicates that the two genes of D. melanogaster are more similar to one another than either is to the gene from D. hydei. The Gapdh gene from D. hydei contains an intron following codon 29. Neither Gapdh gene of D. melanogaster has an intron within the coding region. Southern blots of genomic DNA were used to determine which species have duplicate Gapdh genomic sequences. Gene amplification was used to determine which species have a Gapdh gene that is interrupted by an intron. Species of the subgenus Drosophila have a single Gapdh gene with an intron. Species of the willistoni and saltans groups have a single Gapdh gene that does not contain an intron.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
