The binding of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) has been studied at pH 6.5 and 8.5, at 5,25, and 40 degrees C, by calorimetry, fluorometry, spectrophotometry, equilibrium dialysis, and flow dialysis. As reported earlier for pH 7.3 (Velick S.F., Baggott, J.P., and Sturtevant, J.M. (1971), Biochemistry 10, 779), the binding is accompanied by enthalpy changes which become rapidly more negative as the temperature increases, with delta Cp = -500 to -750 cal deg-1 (mole of NAD+ bound)-1, and by entropy changes which also, as required by the large negative delta Cp, become rapidly more negative with increasing temperature. The binding data at pH 6.5 can be fitted on the basis of either four identical noninteracting sites, or of four sites showing a small degree of negative cooperativity. The data at pH 8.5, particularly at 40 degrees C, require the introduction of positive cooperativity, as was previously shown by Kirschner et al. (Kirschner, K., Eigen, M., Bittman, R., and Voigt, B. (1966), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 56, 1661), and can be equally well fitted on the basis of a sequential model (Adair, G.S. (1925), J. Biol. Chem. 63, 529) or a concerted model (Monod, J., Wyman, J., and Changeux, J.P. (1965), J. Mol. Biol. 12, 88). It is proposed that the observed thermodynamic changes are largely the result of a hydrophobic effect due to a decrease in the exposure of nonpolar groups to the solvent, and of a tightening of the protein structure when the coenzyme is bound with concomitant decrease in the number of easily excitable internal degrees of freedom.

Reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography was used to isolate acid breakdown products of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and products produced when NADH breakdown is catalyzed by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-3-PD). Chromatographic and UV spectral data on these and related products support a mechanism for NADH acid degradation involving hydroxy addition at the nicotinamide C-6 followed by cyclization of the ring and the adjacent ribose moiety. G-3-PD is shown to catalyze a reaction in which two products are formed which are also intermediates in the acid degradation of NADH (alpha- and beta-6-hydroxynicotinamide products). Formation of the major acid products fits a three-step, first-order mechanism curve, making it possible to calculate the rate constants k2 and k3 as well as the previously determined k1.

An improved electron density map of lobster holo-D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been computed to 2.9 A resolution based on two heavy atom isomorphous derivatives. This has been averaged only over the Q molecular 2-fold axis, which is known to be exact in the human holoenzyme. The map showed possible asymmetry between the subunits in which the active centers are closely related across the R axis (that is, between the red and green or between the yellow and blue subunits). A difference map between the electron density of citrate and sulfate-soaked crystals gave further evidence for possible asymmetry. The major differences of electron density between R axis-related subunits appear around the active center and suggest the following interpretations. 1. The conformation of the adenine about the glycosidic bond is the more frequently observed anti with a C-2' endo conformation for the ribose ring in the red and yellow subunits, but is probably syn with a C-3' endo conformation in the green and blue subunits.2. The adenine ribose has its 3'-hydroxyl group hydrogen-bonded to a main chain carbonyl group in the red and yellow subunits but not in the green and blue subunits, as a consequence of the differing ribose conformations. 3. Cysteine-149 is more closely associated with histidine-176 in the green and blue subunits, and appears nearer the nicotinamide in the red and yellow subunits.

Comparisons have been made between the active center geometries of lactate dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, chymotrypsin and papain, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and papain. In the dehydrogenases, orientation of the nicotinamide ring about the glycosidic bond is determined by the substrate stereochemistry. The proper positioning of the carboxyamide moiety allows for the close approach of the C4 atom on the nicotinamide and the reactive carbon of the substrate. It follows that, once the conformation of the substrate or substrate intermediate has been established with respect to the functional groups in the enzyme, the A- or B-side specificity of the nicotinamide ring is predetermined. Hence, dehydrogenases which are divergently evolving from a common precursor must maintain the nicotinamide specificity if the protein fold of the catalytic domain is conserved. The tetrahedral intermediates produced during acylation of chymotrypsin and papain are found to be of opposite hand, while those of papain and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase can be regarded to be of the same hand. Thus the serine proteases, subtilisin and those of the chymotrypsin family, are of one hand while the cysteine enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and papain, are of the other.

This work reports on the interaction of the fluorescent nicotinamide 1,N6-ethenoadenine dinucleotide (epsilonNAD+) with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, octopine dehydrogenase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from different sources (yeast, lobster muscle, and rabbit muscle). The coenzyme fluorescence is enhanced by a factor of 10-13 in all systems investigated. It is shown that this enhancement cannot be due to changes in the polarity of the environment upon binding, and that it must be rather ascribed to structural properties of the bound coenzyme. Although dynamic factors could also be important for inducing changes in the quantum yield of epsilonNAD+ fluorescence, the close similarity of the fluorescence enhancement factor in all cases investigated indicates that the conformation of bound coenzyme is rather invariant in the different enzyme systems and overwhelmingly shifted toward an open form. Dissociation constants for epsilonNAD+-dehydrogenases complexes can be determined by monitoring the coenzyme fluorescence enhancement or the protein fluorescence quenching. In the case of yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase at pH 7.0 and t = 20 degrees the binding plots obtained by the two methods are coincident, and show no cooperativity. The affinity of epsilonNAD+ is generally lower than that of NAD+, although epsilonNAD+ maintains most of the binding characteristics of NAD+. For example, it forms a tight complex with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase and pyrazole, and with octopine dehydrogenase saturated by L-arginine and pyruvate. One major difference in the binding behavior of NAD+ and epsilonNAD+ seems to be present in the muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. In fact, no difference was found for epsilon NAD+ between the affinities of the third and fourth binding sites. The results and implications of this work are compared with those obtained recently by other authors.

The fluorescence of the natural coenzyme, NADH, is used to monitor the environment of the nicotinamide moiety at the active centre of rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12). Changes of the fluorescence quantum yield and polarization of a small amount of NADH, totally bound by an excess of enzyme, show that at half-saturation of the oligomer with NAD a conformational change is induced which affects the active centre regions of the remaining subunits. This conformational transition is not effected by adenosine diphosphoribose, suggesting that the binding of the nicotinamide moiety of NAD to two subunits is essential for the change of tertiary structure of the remaining subunits that causes the observed changes of the fluorescence properties of the ADH "tracer probe". It is suggested that this conformational transition of the oligomer is responsible for the major decrease of affinity for NAD which occurs at half-saturation, and possibly for the activation by NAD+ of the reductive dephosphorylation reaction catalysed by the enzyme. It is also suggested, by analogy with haemoglobin, that the molecular basis of the negative cooperativity may be the creation of additional intersubunit bonds during the binding of the first two NAD molecules to the tetramer, and a change from a "relaxed" quaternary structure to a "tense" structure at half-saturation.

Nicotinamide-(S-methylmercury-thioinosine) dinucleotide was formed by reaction of nicotinamide-(6-thiopurine) dinucleotide with methylmercury chloride. The compound exhibits coenzyme properties in the test with LDH (Km=1.5 X 10(-4) M, Vmax=12500) and LADH (Km=1.7 X 10(-4) M, Vmax=27) and inactivates YADH and GAPDH. From incubations with LDH and LADH the mercury containing coenzyme could be regarded by column be qualified for the X-ray structure analysis of the coenzyme-enzyme complex for some dehyrogenases based on the proportion of the heavy metal.

Using NAD analogues as ligands, the structural requirements for negative cooperativity in binding to rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were examined. Although the affinity of nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide is considerably lower than that of NAD+, it also binds to the enzyme with negative cooperatively. Two pairs of nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide binding sitess were distinguished, one pair having an affinity for the analogue which is 15 times that of the second pair. Negative cooperativity is also found in the Km values for the analogue. Thus modification of the adenine ring of NAD+ to hypoxanthine does not abolish negative cooperativity in coenzyme binding. Adenosine diphosphoribose binding to the same enzyme shows neither positive nor negative cooperativity, indicating that cooperativity apparently requires an intact nicotinamide ring in the coenzyme structure, under the conditions of these experiments. Occupancy of the nicotinamide subsite of the coenzyme binding site is not necessary for half-of-sites reactivity of alkylating or acylating compounds (Levitzki, A. (1974), J. Mol, Biol. 90, 451-458). However, it can be important in the negative cooperativity in ligand binding, as illustrated by adenosine diphosphoribose which fails to exhibit negative cooperativity. Occupancy of the adenine subsite by adenine is important for stabilization of the enzyme against thermal denaturation. Whether the stabilization is due to an altered conformation of the subunits or stabilization of the preexisting structure of the apoenzyme cannot be determined from these studies. However, nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide does not contribute to enzyme stability although it serves as a substrate and shows negative cooperativity.

The effect of NAD on the binding of 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS) to yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has been studied using difference spectrophotometric and fluorescence techniques. Coenzyme addition causes the displacement of ANS from its complex with the dehydrogenase, as suggested by the effect of NAD on the fluorescence of the enzyme--ANS complex, as well as on the magnitude of the difference spectrum of the complex. Adenine containing NAD fragments, adenosine, 5'-AMP, and ADP were shown to compete with ANS for the common site on the enzyme using fluorimetric technique; in the case of adenosine and 5'-AMP a direct method of analytical ultracentrifugation was also employed. The results obtained by both methods suggest the dye binding at the adenine subsite of the dehydrogenase. The interaction with ANS causes no detectable conformational changes of the protein. The fluorescence of the dye-enzyme complex increases and the emission maximum shifts to shorter wavelengths on addition of nicotinamide mononucleotide. This suggest some conformational changes to occur in the microenvironment of the bound dye in response to the interaction with the ligand in the nicotinamide subsite. The participation of the nicotinamide subsite of the active center in determining the character of conformational transitions associated with coenzyme binding to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is discussed.

We have determined the amounts of a number of small molecules and enzymes in the mother cell compartment and the developing forespore during sporulation of Bacillus megaterium. Significant amounts of adenosine 5'-triphosphate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide were present in the forespore compartment before accumulation of dipicolinic acid (DPA), but these compounds disappeared as DPA was accumulated. 3-Phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) accumulated only within the developing forespore, beginning 1 to 2 h before DPA accumulation. Throughout its development the forespore contained constant levels of enzymes of both 3-PGA synthesis (phosphoglycerate kinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) and 3-PGA utilization (phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, and pyruvate kinase) at levels similar to those in the mother cell and the dormant spore. Despite the presence of enzymes for 3-PGA utilization, this compound was stable within isolated forespores. Two acid-soluble proteins (A and B proteins) also accumulated only in the forespore, beginning 1 to 2 h before DPA accumulation. At this time the specific protease involved in degradation of the A and B proteins during germination also appeared, but only in the forespore compartment. Nevertheless, the A and B proteins were stable within isolated forespores. Arginine and glutamic acid accumulated within the forespore in parallel with DPA accumulation. The forespore also contained the enzyme arginase at a level similar to that in the mother cell and a level of glutamic acid decarboxylase 2- to 25-fold higher than that in the mother cell, depending on when in sporulation the forespores were isolated. The specific activities of several other enzymes (protease active on hemoglobin, ornithine transcarbamylase, malate dehydrogenase, aconitase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase) in forespores were about 10% or less of the values in the mother cell. Aminopeptidase was present at similar levels in both compartments; threonine deaminase was not found in either compartment.
