Nitric oxide and nitric oxide-generating agents like 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) stimulate the mono-ADP-ribosylation of a cytosolic, 39-kDa protein in various tissues. This protein was purified from human platelet cytosol by conventional and fast protein liquid chromatography techniques. N-terminal sequence analysis identified the isolated protein as the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Nitric oxide stimulates the auto-ADP-ribosylation of GAPDH in a time and concentration-dependent manner with maximal effects after about 60 min. Associated with ADP-ribosylation is a loss of enzymatic activity. NAD(+)-free enzyme is not inhibited by SIN-1, indicating the absolute requirement of NAD+ as the substrate of the ADP-ribosylation reaction. Inhibition of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH may be relevant as a cytotoxic effect of NO complementary to its inhibitory actions on iron-sulfur enzymes like aconitase and electron transport proteins of the respiratory chain.

In human erythrocyte membranes incubated with [adenylate-32P]NAD the 36 kDa protein is predominantly labeled. The labeling is greatly stimulated by nitroprusside in the presence of dithiothreitol. We have purified the 36 kDa protein and identified this modification as cysteine-specific mono(ADP-ribosylation) because: (i) labeling occurred only when [32P]NAD was replaced by adenine[U-14C]NAD, but not by [carbonyl-14C]NAD; (ii) treatment of the prelabeled protein with snake venom phosphodiesterase led to releasing 5'-[32P]AMP; (iii) the bond between the protein and the nucleotide was hydrolyzed by HgCl2, but was resistant to hydroxylamine. The 36 kDa protein reacted on Western blots with two different monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and was immunoprecipitated by both MAbs.

Rate constants of dissociation (k(off)) and association (k(on)) of the bienzyme complex yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase--yeast alcohol dehydrogenase have been determined in the absence and presence of NAD or NADH by fluorescence anisotropy measurements. We found that dissociation of the complex is considerably slower than catalytic turnover of either of the enzymes (that is k(off) much less than kcat) irrespective of the presence of coenzymes. A perusal of the literature reveals that this relation invariably applies to all systems studied so far. These observations all taken together constitute compelling evidence that direct metabolite transfer in enzyme complexes cannot be satisfactorily described by invoking the dynamic model but requires a model assuming more lasting complexes. This seems to support the case of the temporary-stationary model suggested by one of us. Implications of this conclusion are treated in depth and further evidence is cited under Discussion.

Enzyme protein fluorescence of di-furylacryloyl-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (di-FA-GPDH:lambda max.excitation 290 nm, lambda max.emission 338 nm) is quenched about 28% on saturation with NAD+. Results of fluorometric titration of di-FA-GPDH with NAD+ suggest the presence of two tight and two loose coenzyme binding sites (Kdiss. 0.1 and 6.0 microM, respectively). Initial rates of the NAD(+)-dependent reaction of di-FA-GPDH with arsenate and phosphate and of mono-FA-GPDH with phosphate have been determined at varying coenzyme concentrations. The data suggest that binding of NAD+ at the tight sites does not activate the acyl group for its reaction with the acceptor (phosphate or arsenate). The group transfer reaction is dependent only on NAD+ binding to the loose sites, which carry the acyl group. The large difference in the NAD+ binding affinity to the two types of sites and their different effects on the group transfer reaction impart a sigmoidal shape to the rate versus [NAD+] plots. The sigmoidicity is abolished if the reactive SH groups at the unacylated sites are blocked by carboxymethylation.

Mature erythrocytes, when removed from the circulation, exhibit severe disturbances of glycolytic flow, with accumulation not only of lactate, the ultimate product of glycolysis, but also of several upstream metabolic intermediates, primarily fructose-1,6-diphosphate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. This accumulation may be prevented (and also reverted) by allowing the diffusible end products lactate and pyruvate to leave the cell by equilibrating with a much larger extracellular compartment. The disturbance of erythrocyte glycolysis does not result from direct inhibition by lactate itself but from the interplay between the lactate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (3-PGAD) reactions. The accumulation of intermediates reflects the increased lactate-to-pyruvate ratio; this leads to a secondary imbalance of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-to-reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD-to-NADH) ratio, which in turn slows down glycolysis at the 3-PGAD step, whose upstream metabolites then pile up. No accumulation, however, takes place if the lactate-to-pyruvate ratio is maintained constant in the extracellular compartment, regardless of concentrations. These studies demonstrate that orderly glycolysis in the erythrocyte is regulated by the NAD-to-NADH ratio and also provide a method that makes possible the in vitro study of erythrocyte glycolysis.

Nucleotide sequences of the gapA gene, encoding the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, were determined for 16 strains of Salmonella and 13 strains of Escherichia coli recovered from natural populations. Pairs of sequences from strains representing the eight serovar groups of Salmonella differed, on average, at 3.8% of nucleotide sites and 1.1% of inferred amino acids, and comparable values for E. coli were an order of magnitude smaller (0.2% and 0.1%, respectively). The rate of substitution at synonymous sites was significantly higher for codons specifying the catalytic domain of the enzyme than for those encoding the NAD(+)-binding domain, but the nonsynonymous substitution rate showed the opposite relationship. For Salmonella, statistical tests for nonrandom clustering of polymorphic sites failed to provide evidence that intragenic recombination or gene conversion has contributed to the generation of allelic diversity. The topology of a tree constructed from the gapA sequences was generally similar to that of phylogenetic trees of the strains based on multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, but the level of divergence of gapA in Salmonella group V from other Salmonella and E. coli strains is much greater than that indicated by DNA hybridization for the genome as a whole.

Carbon-13 and deuterium isotope effects have been measured on the reaction catalyzed by rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in an effort to locate the rate-limiting steps. With D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate as substrate, hydride transfer is a major, but not the only, slow step prior to release of the first product, and the intrinsic primary deuterium and 13C isotope effects on this step are 5-5.5 and 1.034-1.040, and the sum of the commitments to catalysis is approximately 3. The 13C isotope effects on thiohemiacetal formation and thioester phosphorolysis are 1.005 or less. The intrinsic alpha-secondary deuterium isotope effect at C-4 of the nicotinamide ring of NAD is approximately 1.4; this large normal value (the equilibrium isotope effect is 0.89) shows tight coupling of hydrogen motions in the transition state accompanied by tunneling. With D-glyceraldehyde as substrate, the isotope effects are similar, but the sum of commitments is approximately 1.5, so that hydride transfer is more, but still not solely, rate limiting for this slow substrate. The observed 13C and deuterium equilibrium isotope effects on the overall reaction from the hydrated aldehyde are 0.995 and 1.145, while the 13C equilibrium isotope effect for conversion of a thiohemiacetal to a thioester is 0.994, and that for conversion of a thioester to an acyl phosphate is 0.997. Somewhat uncertain values for the 13C equilibrium isotope effects on aldehyde dehydration and formation of a thiohemiacetal are 1.003 and 1.004.

The inhibitory effects of vanadium(V) were determined on the oxidation of glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) catalyzed by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH), an enzyme with a thiol group in the active site. G3PDH from rabbit muscle was inhibited by vanadate, and the active inhibiting species were found to be the vanadate dimer and/or tetramer. The dimer was a sufficiently weak inhibitor at pH 7.4 with respect to G3P; the tetramer could account for all the observed inhibition. The tetramer was a competitive inhibitor with respect to G3P with a Ki of 0.12 mM. Both the dimer and tetramer were noncompetitive inhibitors at pH 7.4 with respect to NAD with Ki's of 0.36 mM and 0.67 mM. G3PDH inhibited by vanadate was reactivated when EDTA complexed the vanadate. The reactivation occurred even after extended periods of incubation of G3PDH and vanadate, suggesting that the inhibition is reversible despite the thiol group in the active site. Analogous reactivation is also observed with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gly3PDH). Gly3PDH is an enzyme that previously had been reported to undergo redox chemistry with vanadate. The work described in this paper suggests vanadate will not necessarily undergo redox chemistry with enzymes containing thiol groups exposed on the surface of the protein.

Directed mutagenesis has been used to study the nicotinamide subsite of the glycolytic NAD-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Residue Asn313 is involved together with the carboxyamide moiety of the nicotinamide ring in a complex network of hydrogen bonding interactions which fix the position of the pyridinium ring of NAD to which hydride transfer occurs at the C-4 position in the catalytic reaction. The asparagine side-chain has been replaced by that of the Thr and Ala residues and results in mutants with very similar properties. Both mutants show much weaker binding of NAD and lower catalytic efficiency. The mutant Asn313----Thr still exhibits strict B-stereospecificity in hydride transfer and retains the property of negative co-operativity in NAD binding. These experiments strongly suggest that the mutant enzyme undergoes the apo----holo sub-unit structural transition associated with coenzyme binding but that the nicotinamide ring is no longer as rigidly held in its pocket as in the wild type enzyme. The results shed light on the details of the molecular interactions which are responsible for negative co-operativity in this enzyme.

HOCl, which is produced by the action of myeloperoxidase during the respiratory burst of stimulated neutrophils, was used as a cytotoxic reagent in P388D1 cells. Low concentrations of HOCl (10-20 microM) caused oxidation of plasma membrane sulfhydryls determined as decreased binding of iodoacetylated phycoerythrin. These same low concentrations of HOCl caused disturbance of various plasma membrane functions: they inactivated glucose and aminoisobutyric acid uptake, caused loss of cellular K+, and an increase in cell volume. It is likely that these changes were the consequence of plasma membrane SH-oxidation, since similar effects were observed with para-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate (pCMBS), a sulfhydryl reagent acting at the cell surface. Given in combination pCMBS and HOCl showed an additive effect. Higher doses of HOCl (greater than 50 microM) led to general oxidation of -SH, methionine and tryptophan residues, and formation of protein carbonyls. HOCl-induced loss of ATP and undegraded NAD was closely followed by cell lysis. In contrast, NAD degradation and ATP depletion caused by H2O2 preceded cell death by several hours. Formation of DNA strand breaks, a major factor of H2O2-induced injury, was not observed with HOCl. Thus targets of HOCl were distinct from those of H2O2 with the exception of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, which was inactivated by both oxidants.
