The steady-state reactant levels of triose-phosphate isomerase and the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoglycerate kinase system were examined in guinea-pig cardiac muscle. Key glycolytic intermediates, including glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate were directly measured and compared with those of creatine kinase. Non-working Langendorff hearts as well as isolated working hearts were perfused with 5 mM glucose (plus insulin) under normoxia conditions to maintain lactate dehydrogenase near-equilibrium. The cytosolic phosphorylation potential ([ATP]/([ADP].[Pi])) was derived from creatine kinase and the free [NAD+]/([NADH].[H+]) ratio from lactate dehydrogenase. In Langendorff hearts glycolysis was varied from near-zero flux (hyperkalemic cardiac arrest) to higher than normal flux (normal and maximum catecholamine stimulation). The triose-phosphate isomerase was near-equilibrium only in control or potassium-arrested Langendorff hearts as well as in postischemic 'stunned' hearts. However, when glycolytic flux increased due to norepinephrine or due to physiological pressure-volume work the enzyme was displaced from equilibrium. The alternative phosphorylation ratio [ATP]'/([ADP]).[Pi]) was derived from the magnesium-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoglycerate kinase system assigning free magnesium different values in the physiological range (0.1-2.0 mM). As predicted, [ATP]/([ADP].[Pi]) and [ATP]'/([ADP]'.[Pi]') were in excellent agreement when glycolysis was virtually halted by hyperkalemic arrest (flux approximately 0.2 mumol C3.min-1.g dry mass-1). However, the equality between the two phosphorylation ratios was not abolished upon resumption of spontaneous beating and also not during adrenergic stimulation (flux approximately 5-14 mumol C3.min-1.g dry mass-1). In contrast, when flux increased due to transition from no-work to physiological pressure-volume work (rate increase from approximately 3 to 11 mumol C3.min-1.g dry mass-1), the two ratios were markedly different indicating disequilibrium of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoglycerate kinase. Only during adrenergic stimulation or postischemic myocardial 'stunning', not due to hydraulic work load per se, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate levels increased from about 4 microM to greater than or equal to 16 microM. Thus the guinea-pig cardiac glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase/phosphoglycerate kinase system can realize the potential for near-equilibrium catalysis at significant flux provided glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate levels rise, e.g., due to 'stunning' or adrenergic hormones.

Recent studies have demonstrated that most glycolytic enzymes can reversibly associate to form heterogeneous enzyme-enzyme (binary) complexes in vitro. However, kinetic analysis of these complexes has shown that the individual enzymes have a varied response to complex formation: some enzymes are inhibited, some are activated and some are unaffected. In order to determine the potential role of binary complexes in regulating glycolytic flux, we have mathematically calculated enzyme distributions and activities using data from in vitro binding and kinetic studies. These calculations suggest that, overall, formation of binary complexes would lower flux through phosphofructokinase and aldolase, would increase flux through glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase, and would not affect flux through triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase. The implications of these results are discussed with respect to the effect of complex formation on overall glycolytic flux and on the flux through individual enzyme loci.

A quantitative histochemical method was developed for the demonstration in rat liver of the activity of phosphofructokinase, one of the enzymes assumed to be rate-limiting for glycolysis. The procedure was based on the reduction of a tetrazolium salt as final electron acceptor and a multistep reaction using the exogenous or endogenous auxiliary enzymes aldolase, triosephosphate isomerase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The highest activity was found in unfixed cryostat sections of rat liver when the incubation medium contained 17% (wt/vol) polyvinyl alcohol, 100 mmol/L Tris-maleate buffer (pH 8.4), 20 mmol/L fructose-6-phosphate, 2 mmol/L ATP, 2 mmol/L MgCl2, 5.9 mmol/L NAD+, 0.47 mmol/L 1-methoxyphenazine methosulfate, 5 mmol/L sodium azide and 5 mmol/L Nitro BT. The addition of auxiliary enzymes was not necessary to demonstrate maximum activity in rat liver. The specificity of the reaction was proven by the absence of any specific (test minus control) reaction when the incubation was performed in the presence of 25 mmol/L phosphoenolpyruvate, a competitive inhibitor of phosphofructokinase. Cytophotometric analysis revealed that linear relationships exist between the amount of specific reaction product formed and incubation time and the section thickness. The Km values for fructose-6-phosphate and the Vmax values were not significantly different in periportal and pericentral areas of livers from either normally fed or 24-hr-fasted rats. The homogeneous distribution of phosphofructokinase activity in the liver acinus is in line with biochemical findings using hepatocytes isolated from the two different areas showing that these cells contained similar amounts of enzyme activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The 11.5-kDa Zn(2+)-binding protein (ZnBP) was covalently linked to Sepharose. Affinity chromatography with a cytosolic subfraction from liver resulted in purification of a predominant 38-kDa protein. In comparable experiments with brain cytosol a 39-kDa protein was enriched. The ZnBP-protein interactions were zinc-specific. Both proteins were identified as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase. Experiments with crude cytosol showed zinc-specific interaction of additional enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. From liver cytosol greater than 90% of the following enzymes were specifically retained: aldolase, phosphofructokinase-1, hexokinase/glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, and most of triosephosphate isomerase remained unbound. From L-type pyruvate kinase only the phosphorylated form seems to interact with ZnBP. Using brain cytosol hexokinase, phosphofructokinase-1, and aldolase were completely bound to the affinity column, whereas glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, and most of triose-phosphate isomerase remained unbound. The behavior of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from this tissue could not be followed. A possible function of ZnBP in supramolecular organization of carbohydrate metabolism is proposed.

Mutations in the structural genes for triosephosphate isomerase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the mouse, selected after mutagen treatment, were used to estimate the map distance between the two loci. It is shown that Tpi-1 and Gapd are closely linked on chromosome 6, with a recombination frequency of 0.1 +/- 0.1%.

Changes in the mRNA levels during mammalian myogenesis were compared for seven polypeptides of mitochondrial respiration (the mitochondrial DNA-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunit III, ATP synthase subunit 6, NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1 and 2, and 16S ribosomal RNA; the nuclear encoded ATP synthase beta subunit and the adenine nucleotide translocase) and three polypeptides of glycolysis (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, and triose-phosphate isomerase). Progressive changes during the conversion from myoblasts to myotubes were monitored under both atmospheric oxygen (normoxic) and hypoxic environments. Northern analyses revealed coordinate, biphasic, and reciprocal expression of the respiratory and glycolytic mRNAs during myogenesis. In normoxic cells the mitochondrial respiratory enzymes were highest in myoblasts, declined 3- to 5-fold during commitment and exist from the cell cycle, and increased progressively as the myotubes matured. By contrast, the glycolytic enzyme mRNAs rose 3- to 6-fold on commitment and then progressively declined. When partially differentiated myotubes were switched to hypoxic conditions, the glycolytic enzyme mRNAs increased and the respiratory mRNAs declined. Hence, the developmental regulation of muscle bioenergetic metabolism appears to be regulated at the pretranslational level and is modulated by oxygen tension.

Pairwise coupled reactions of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase and sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, triosephosphate isomerase and sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase have been detected by microspectrophotometry in single crystals obtained from myogen A in the presence of polyethylene glycol. Microspectrophotometric measurements with polarized light demonstrate that the protein molecules are oriented and that NADH is bound with a definite orientation to the dehydrogenases within the crystal.

Interactions of the glycolytic enzymes glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, triose-phosphate isomerase, enolase, phosphoglycerate mutase, phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase type-M, and lactate dehydrogenase type-H with tubulin and microtubules were studied. Lactate dehydrogenase type-M, pyruvate kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and aldolase demonstrated the greatest amount of co-pelleting with microtubules. The presence of 7% poly(ethylene glycol) increased co-pelleting of the latter four enzymes and two other enzymes, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, and phosphoglycerate kinase with microtubules. Interactions also were characterized by fluorescence anisotropy. Since the KD values of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase for tubulin and microtubules were all found to be between 1 and 4 microM, which is in the range of enzyme concentration in cells, these enzymes are probably bound to microtubules in vivo. These observations indicate that interactions of cytosolic proteins, such as the glycolytic enzymes, with cytoskeletal components, such as microtubules, may play a structural role in the formation of the microtrabecular lattice.

Low concentrations of sulfite or nitrite (about 0.5 mmol) when applied at pH 3.6, caused a rapid and drastic decrease of the concentration of ATP in yeast cells. Under these conditions, alcoholic fermentation was inhibited by sulfite and to a lesser extent by nitrite. Ethanol consumption under aerobic conditions was shown to be more sensitive to nitrite than to sulfite. This indicates a higher sensitivity of respiratory processes to nitrite than to sulfite. Among 15 enzyme activities assayed in extracts from yeast cells after incubation with sulfite or nitrite, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was shown to be the most sensitive. Analysis of the steady-state concentrations of intermediates of alcoholic fermentation in intact yeast cells also implies inhibition by sulfite or nitrite of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase step of fermentation. In contrast to nitrite, sulfite had an additional effect by accumulating the intracellular steady state concentration of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate 10 to 100-fold over the concentration in the absence of sulfite. In vitro studies on the equilibrium catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase or aldolase confirmed the postulated shift of equilibrium concentrations by a formation of complex of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate with sulfite.

Interactions of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (D-glucose-6-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.9), aldolase (D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate lyase, EC 4.1.2.13), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12), triose-phosphate isomerase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.1), phosphoglycerate mutase (D-phosphoglycerate 2,3-phosphomutase, EC 5.4.2.1), phosphoglycerate kinase (ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3), enolase (2-phospho-D-glycerate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.11), pyruvate kinase (ATP:Pyruvate O2-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) and lactate dehydrogenase [S)-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) with F-actin, among the glycolytic enzymes listed above, and with phosphofructokinase (ATP:D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.11) were studied in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol). Both purified rabbit muscle enzymes and rabbit muscle myogen, a high-speed supernatant fraction containing the glycolytic enzymes, were used to study enzyme-F-actin interactions. Following ultracentrifugation, F-actin and poly(ethylene glycol) tended to increase and KCl to decrease the pelleting of enzymes. In general, the greater part of the pelleting occurred in the presence of both F-actin and poly(ethylene glycol) and the absence of KCl. Enzymes that pelleted more in myogen preparations than as individual purified enzymes in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) and the absence of F-actin were tested for specific enzyme-enzyme associations, several of which were observed. Such interactions support the view that the internal cell structure is composed of proteins that interact with one another to form the microtrabecular lattice.
