The spontaneous inactivation of yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was found to fit a simple two-state model at pH 8.5 and 25 degrees. The first step is a relatively rapid dissociation of the tetramer to dimers with the equilibrium largely in favor of the tetramer. In the absence of NAD+ the dimer inactivates irreversibly. The apoenzyme is quite stable with a half-life for complete activity loss proportional to the square root of the enzyme concentration. Perturbances of the protein structure (by pH, ionic strength, and specific salts), which have no effect on the tetrameric state of the molecule, result in an alteration of the cooperativity of NAD+ binding, the reactivity of the active-site sulfhydryl group, and the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Covalent modification of two of the four active-site sulfhydryl groups has profound effects on the enzymic activity which are mediated by changes in the subunit interactions. Sedimentation analysis and hybridization studies indicate that the interaction between subunits remains strong after covalent modification. Under normal physiological and equilibrium dialysis conditions the protein is a tetramer. Equilibrium dialysis studies of NAD+ binding to the enzyme at pH 8.5 and 25 degrees reveal a mixed cooperativity pattern. A model consistent with these observations and the observed half-of-the-sites reactivity is that of ligand induced sequential conformational changes which are transferred across strongly interacting subunit domains. Methods for distinguishing negatively cooperative binding patterns from mixtures of denatured enzyme and multiple species are discussed.

NADH and NADPH-ferredoxin oxidoreductases have been studied in Clostridium acetobutylicum, Cl. tyrobutyricum and Cl. pasteurianum. The study of the distribution and regulation of these enzymatic activities in well-defined culture conditions, reveals that the essential function of NADPH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase is to produce NADPH, while NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase can, depending on cellular conditions, produce or oxidize NADH. When these Clostridia use glycolysis, regulation of the NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase by acetyl-CoA (obligatory activator of NADH-ferroxin reductase activity) and by NADH (competitive inhibitor of ferredoxin-NAD+ reductase activity) allow the enzymes to function correlatively with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and thus control the levels of NAD+ and NADH in the cell. In Cl. tyrobutyricum and Cl. pasteurianum, the ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase activities are regulated by NAD+ and NADH in accordance with the intracellular concentrations of these coenzymes. In Cl. tyrobutyricum growing on pyruvate/acetate, NADH and NADPH-ferredoxin reductase activities cannot be detected; only the ferredoxin-NAD+ and ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase activities are found. In this Clostridium, regulation of the ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase activity is the same whether it is grown on glucose or pyruvate. Contrary to this, the ferredoxin-NAD+ reductase activity undergoes a drastic change, since NADH no longer controls the enzymatic activity. In this case regulation is no longer necessary, since glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase does not function.

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.

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.

Effects of glucose concentration and anoxia upon the metabolite concentrations and rates of glycolysis and respiration have been investigated in the perfused liver of the fetal guinea pig. In most cases the metabolite concentrations in the perfused liver were similar to those observed in vivo. Between 50 days and term there was a fall in the respiratory rate and in the concentration of ATP and fructose 1,6-diphosphate and an increase in the concentration of glutamate, glycogen and glucose. Reducing the medium glucose concentration from 10 mM to 1 mM or 0.1 mM depressed lactate production and the concentration of most of the phosphorylated intermediates (except 6-phosphogluconate) in the liver of the 50-day fetus. This indicates a fall in glycolytic rate which is not in accord with the known kinetic properties of hexokinase in the fetal liver. Anoxia increased lactate production by, and the concentrations of, the hexose phosphates ADP and AMP in the 50-day to term fetal liver, while the concentration of ribulose 5-phosphate, ATP and some triose phosphates fell. These results are consistent with an activation of glycolysis, particularly at phosphofructokinase and of a reduction in pentose phosphate pathway activity, particularly at 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The calculated cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratio for the perfused liver was similar to that measured in vivo and evidence is presented to suggest that the dihydroxyacetone phosphate/glycerol 3-phosphate ratio gives a better indication of cytosolic redox than the lactate/pyruvate ratio. The present observations indicate that phosphofructokinase hexokinase and possibly pyruvate kinase control the glycolytic rate and that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is at equilibrium in the perfused liver of the fetal guinea pig.

There is no evidence, at pH 9.4, of negative cooperativity in the binding of NAD+ or NADH to rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (phorphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12) nor in the binding of acetyl pyridine adenine dinucleotide at pH 7.6 and ph 9.4. The binding of NAD+ to carboxymethylated enzyme at pH 7.6 and pH 9.4 also occurs without cooperativity. The possible implications of these findings for the involvement of ionising groups in the enzyme in the subunit interactions responsible for negative cooperativity, previously reported for coenzyme binding at pH 7.4--8.6, are discussed.

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 binding of NAD+, NADH and adenosine diphosphoribose (Ado-PP-Rib) to a stable, highly active and nucleotide-free preparation of rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate: NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12) has been studied. All three nucleotides quench the protein fluorescence to the same extent when they bind to the enzyme, and this property has been used to measure the dissociation constants for the two high-affinity binding sites for the nucleotides. The results indicate negative interactions between, or non-identify of, these two binding sites, to which NAD+ and NADH bind with similar affinity. The binding of NAD+ to the enzyme has been studied by spectrophotometric titrations at 360 nm. It appears that the binding of NAD+ to each of the four subunits of the enzyme contributes equally to the intensity of this 'Racker' band. The dissociation constants associated with the binding of the third and fourth molecules of NAD+ estimated from such titrations confirm some previous estimates. The binding of NADH to the enzyme causes a decrease of intensity of the absorbance of the coenzyme at 340 nm, and the dissociation constants for binding of the third and fourth molecules of NADH have been estimated from spectrophotometric titrations. They are the same as those for NAD+. Judging by the apparent dissociation constants, negative interactions on binding the third molecule of NAD+ or NADH are more marked than those associated with the binding of the second and fourth molecules, suggesting that a major conformational change occurs at half-saturation of the tetramer with coenzyme.

The specificity of induced conformational changes and of the probes used to detect them has been investigated in yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Cyanylation of the active-site SH groups in two of the four identical subunits of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has no effect on reactivity of the unmodified SH groups toward the cyanylating reagent (2-nitro-5-thiocyanogenzoic acid, NTCB) but results in total loss of catalytic activity. Cyanylation of the dicarboxamidomethylated enzyme was four orders of magnitude slower than with the unmodified enzyme in contrast to cyanylation of the dicyanylated enzyme. Cyanylation by NTCB as well as alkylation by iodoacetate and acylation with beta-(2-furyl)acryloyl phosphate are enhanced in the presence of NAD+ while alkylation by iodoacetamide is inhibited by NAD+. In the absence of NAD+, hydrolysis of the acylated enzyme is faster than phosphorolysis while the reverse is true in the presence of NAD+. NAD+ accelerates hydrolysis of the 3-phosphoglyceroylated enzyme about 60-fold but decreases the rate of hydrolysis of the furylacryloylated enzyme by a factor of 17. Other examples of the specificity of the induced conformational changes and the probes are described. The conformational changes induced by NAD+ make the protein specifically reactive toward its physiological substrates and less reactive toward extraneous competing compounds.

31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the pyrophosphate group in NAD+ and NADH were recorded in the presence of beef heart lactate dehydrogenase and rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. At high lactate dehydrogenase concentrations (60 mg/ml), two NADH resonances are observed: a slowly exchanging peak which is shifted to 1.9 ppm downfield (relative to free NADH) and a rapidly exchanging peak with a downfield shift of 0.5-0.6 ppm. At lover concentrations (15 mg/ml) only the rapidly exchanging peak is observed thus indicating that the peak observed at-1.9 ppm is due to coenzyme bound to an aggregated enzyme species. With NAD+, rapid exchange and downfield shifts are observed at both enzyme and concentrations, with shifts of about 1.5 ppm and 0.6 ppm at 60 and 15 mg/ml, respectively. In the presence of glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, the results are independent of enzyme concentration, and slow exchange and upfield shifts of 0.4-0.6 ppm occur with each coenzyme. These data indicate that the environment of the pyrophosphate group of oxidized and reduced coenzyme is the same for a given dehydrogenase, but is different in one enzyme from the other. The resonances observed with glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase are broader than those observed with lactate dehydrogenase. This is indicative of either shorter relaxation times with the former enzyme, or the presence of multiple, unresolved resonances.
