A host response to infection by Coxiella burneti was investigated. Infectedyolk sacs were harvested from embryonated eggs and assayed for glycolytic activity. Assays of glycolytic enzymes included glucose isomerase, aldolase, phosphofructokinase,fructose-1,6-diphoshatase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, enolase, and pyruvate kinase. No significant differences in enzymatic activity between normal and infected tissues through the 12th day was observed. From the 13th day through the 16thday, the glycolytic activity of normal tissues decreased. Glycolytic activity of infected tissues did not decrease, but showed a gradual increase during this same time period. Embryos from infected eggs demonstrated a gradual decrease in total weight fromthe 12th day until death occurred on the 16th day.

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.

Yeast poly(adenylic acid)-containing messenger RNA was isolated from total cellular RNA by affinity chromatography on poly(uridylic acid)-cellulose. The relative complexity of the isolated yeast mRNA was assessed by hybridization analysis with complementary DNA synthesized from the isolated messenger RNA (mRNA) with viral reverse transcriptase. Approximately 25% of the mRNA hybridized at an apparent Crt1/2 of 5 X 10(-3) mol sl.(-1), while the remainder hybridized at an average Crt1/2 of 10(-1) mol sl.-1. Poly(adenylic acid)-containing yeast mRNA was translated in vitro in a wheat germ cell-free extract, and the major polypeptides synthesized have the same molecular weight as the major proteins present in the cell. Four of these proteins were identified by coelectrophoresis and immune precipitation to be pyruvate kinase, enolase, aldolase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. These data demonstrate in agreement with the hybridization results that yeast contains major mRNA species and that some of the glycolytic enzyme mRNAs make up part of the major fraction. A procedure is outlined for the preparation of yeast mRNA which is essentially free of ribosomal RNA contamination and is further enriched in the major mRNAs present in the cell.

Yeast poly(adenylic acid)-containing messenger ribonucleic acid isolated from two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was fractionated by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of formamide. Three messenger ribonucleic acids, present at high intracellular concentration, were electrophoretically eluted from the polyacrylamide gels and translated in a wheat germ cell-free extract. The in vitro synthesized polypeptides were identified by tryptic peptide analysis. Messenger ribonucleic acids coding for enolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were isolated from commercially grown baker's yeast (strain F1), and messenger ribonucleic acid coding for phosphoglycerate kinase was isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 24657). Significant differences in the spectrum of abundant messenger ribonucleic acids isolated from commercially grown baker's yeast (strain F1) and strain 24657 were observed. When both strains were grown under identical conditions, however, the spectrum of messenger ribonucleic acid isolated from the cells is indistinguishable.

The changes in the sarcoplasmic proteins of the m. gastrocnemius and m. soleus were examined by biochemical methods on the 5th, 7th, 14th and 28th days after plaster cast immobilization of the right hind limbs of adult rabbits. During 4 weeks the soluble/myofibrillar protein ratio increased from 0.47 to 0.75 in the m. gastrocnemius, and to 0.85 in the m. soleus. Evaluation of the relative quantities of the components identified after gel-electrophoresis separation led to the following results: (1) There was no, or no appreciable change in the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase and enolase activities. (2) The enzymes lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase and the glycogenolytic enzymes showed a relative decrease in both muscles. (3) Phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglucose isomerase and pyruvate kinase increased in both muscles. (4) Changes of opposite directions were exhibited by myoglobin, myokinase and F-protein. These results provide new data on the biochemical characterization of these functionally different muscles, and on the mechanism of disuse atrophy.

Haemoglobin fractions and 16 enzymatic activities of red cells of a patient with juvenile chronic myeloid leukaemia are compared to normal, to comparably reticulocyte-rich, non-neonatal and to fetal red cells. The activities of hexokinase, triosephosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, monophosphoglyceromutase, enolase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase are significantly increased in fetal red cells beyond the activities of cell populations with comparable reticulocytosis. The activities of these enzymes are also increased in the patient's erythrocytes. Together with a haemoglobin F concentration of 54% and a concentration of haemoglobin Bart's of 1% these variations reflect the fetal nature of the red cells. Simultaneously, signs of dyserythropoiesis are found in the red cells of the patient: a very high activity of hexokinase and a low pyruvate kinase activity.

Fifteen red cell enzyme activities of growth-retarded patients with and without growth hormone (GH) deficiency were investigated before and after GH administration. The 15 enzymes were Hexokinase, phosphoglucomutase, glucose phosphate, isomerase, phosphofructokinase, fructose diphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphae dehydrogenase, triosephosphate isomerase, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, pyruvate kinase, glycose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, glutathione reducase. Sixty-six subjects were studied: 30 normal control subjects (group N) and 36 patients (aged 5-23 years) with short stature. Complete endocrine evaluation showed 21 (group I) to have GH deficiency (10 patients with isolated GH deficiency) and 15 (group II) to have normal hypothalamic and pituitary function except for two patients with a moderate hypothyroidism. Both had been receiving thyroid hormone treatment for a long time before our studies. All 36 patients were treated with 2 mg human growth hormone intramuscularly for 7 days. Before GH treatment no significant difference was observed between hematologic data in group I (GH deficiency) and group II (no GH deficiency). After GH therapy there was a significant increase in reticulocyte count in both groups of patients with short stature. The mean pretreatment value in group I was 1.294% +/- 0.084 (SEM); the mean post-treatment value was 2.081% +/- 0.287 (SEM)< P less than 0.005. The mean pretreatment value in group II was 1.0% 0.184 (SEM); the mean post-treatment value was 1.407% +/- 0.193 (SEM), P less than 0.01. In group II (no GH deficiency) mean pretreatment erythrocyte enzyme activities were not significantly different from those activities observed in normal control subjects (group N). However, in patients who lacked GH, the pretreatment activities of five red cell enzymes (glucose phosphate isomerase, triosephosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase) were significantly decreased before GH administration compared with the values in normal control subjects...

1. The effects of protein concentration and ionic strength on the adsorption of the individual glycolytic enzymes to F-actin and F-actin--trypomyosin--troponin have been studied. 2. Appreciable association was demonstrated under conditions of physiological ionic strength and high protein concentration, and tropomyosin--troponin established as an important and generalized component of these interactions. 3. Phosphofructokinase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase were strongly bound under these conditions, while triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and hexokinase displayed less adsorption to the structural proteins. 4. The influence of a number of parameters on the adsorption phenomena was examined. Ca2+ and fructose 1,6-diphosphate increased the adsorption of aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase, while decreasing the adsorption of the enzymes of the constant-proportion group. 5. Of the other major enzymic components of skeletal muscle, creatine kinase, adenylate kinase and malate dehydrogenase showed no adsorption to F-actin--tropomyosin--troponin under the experimental conditions. Some adsorption was evident, however, in the case of aspartate aminotransferase, (NADP) isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase. 6. These results have been discussed in relation to their functional significance and the roles of enzyme compartmentation in the cell.

Two immunoglobulin production stimulating factors (IPSF) have been found in human Burkitt's lymphoma Namalwa cells. One IPSF named IPSF-II alpha was purified and identified as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as previously reported. We report here purification, identification and characterization of IPSF-II beta. IPSF-II beta was purified by the serial use of ammonium sulfate fractionation, hydrophobic interaction column chromatography, anion-exchange column chromatography and gel filtration. The IPSF-II beta was estimated as a 46 KD monomeric polypeptide by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. Partial amino acid sequence of the 46 KD protein was analyzed for 26 amino acid residues. The sequence very closely coincided with enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) derived from various origins and, it was completely homologous with that of human enolase alpha-chain. Rabbit muscle enolase stimulated IgM production of hybridoma lines, and IPSF-II beta had the enzymic activity. These results suggested that IPSF-II beta was alpha-enolase or its isozyme. IPSF activities of IPSF-II beta was stable in alkaline conditions whereas the enzymic activity was rapidly lost in alkaline conditions. Though IPSF-II beta stimulated IgM production of both human-human and mouse-mouse hybridoma lines in serum-free condition, it partially suppressed IgE production of mouse-mouse hybridoma lines.

The effect of estradiol-17 beta on the activities of glycolytic enzymes from female rat brain was studied. The following enzymes were examined: hexokinase (HK, EC 2.7.1.1), phosphofructokinase (PFK, EC 2.7.1.11), aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.2.3), phosphoglycerate mutase (EC 2.7.5.3), enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) and pyruvate kinase (PK, EC 2.7.1.40). The activities of HK (soluble and membrane-bound), PFK and PK were increased after 4 h of hormone treatment, while the others remained constant. The changes in activity were not seen in the presence of actinomycin D. The significant rise of the activities of the key glycolytic enzymes was also observed in the cell culture of mouse neuroblastoma C1300 treated with hormone. Only three of the studied isozymes, namely, HKII, B4 and K4 were found to be estradiol-sensitive for HK, PFK and PK, respectively. The results obtained suggest that rat brain glycolysis regulation by estradiol is carried out in neurons due to definite isozymes induction.
