Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique was standardised to demonstrate some key enzymes of glycolysis, hexose mono phosphate (HMP) pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle in slow growing mycobacteria (M. avium. M. gastri) as well as in fast growing mycobacteria (M. vaccae, M. phlei). The enzymes studied were lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), aconitase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), fumerase and malate dehydrogenase (MDH). All the three pathways were found to be operative in slow as well as fast growing mycobacteria. Using this technique M. leprae specific MDH activity was demonstrated in the cell free extract of M. leprae. It's (MDH) electrophoretic mobility on gels lies in the range shown by other mycobacterial species studied and was distinct from that of host MDH. It appears that PAGE offers a useful tool for metabolic characterization of M. leprae using infected tissues.

In porcine areolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, nonspecific esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Of the dehydrogenases, the diaphorases as well as succinate and lactate dehydrogenase demonstrated generally an intensive activity within the epithelia. The activity of the other dehydrogenases was only low. The activity of unspecific esterase was very intensive within the uterine epithelia but remarkably low within chorionic epithelia. Contrarily, the reaction of adenosine triphosphatase was more intensive within chorionic than uterine epithelia. All investigated glucosidases reacted distinctly positive within chorionic epithelia, but only beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase and beta-galactosidase in uterine epithelia. The high activity of acid phosphatase, especially within the chorionic epithelium, seems to be connected with uteroferrin, an iron-binding protein. The histochemical results are discussed in context with the function of the areolae in histiotrophic nutrition and iron transport.

Histochemical investigation of altered dehydrogenase enzyme activity in putative pre-neoplastic lesions induced by N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine in the rat liver revealed a clear increase in NADPH-generating potential, most markedly within nodules. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and isocitrate dehydrogenase all showed elevated activity while the activities of succinate dehydrogenase and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase were reduced. Alteration in enzyme activity suggested an adaptive shift in metabolism, the increase in levels of enzymes responsible for generation of reduced NADP possibly conferring enhanced drug detoxifying or cholesterogenic potential.

Fetuses were decapitated in one uterine horn in each of 14 sows at 45 d of gestation. Control (C) and decapitated (D) fetuses were removed by Caesarean section from three sows at 65 d of gestation (total of 10 D and 10 C fetuses), two sows at 85 d (six D and six C fetuses) and nine sows at 110 d (nine C and nine D fetuses) of gestation (Exp. 1). In Exp. 2, four to six fetuses were removed from each of two Ossabaw (O) gilts and three crossbred (C, Landrace X Yorkshire) gilts at 70 d of gestation, from three C and O gilts at 90 d of gestation and from three C and two O gilts at 110 d of gestation. In Exp. 1, one semitendinosis muscle was removed for histochemistry, whereas the contralateral muscle was removed and weighed. A medial portion of biceps femoris muscle was removed and used for histochemistry in Exp. 2. In both experiments, transverse sections (cryostat) of muscle were stained for lipid, glycogen (PAS) and the following enzymes: acid ATPase, NADH-TR, NADPH-TR, malate dehydrogenase (NAD- and NADP-dependent reactions; MDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (with and without NAD; alpha-GPDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent; ICDH), esterase, lipoprotein lipase and lipase. In Exp. 1, body and muscle weights of the two groups were not significantly different (P greater than .05) at 65 d of gestation, whereas D fetuses were smaller and had lighter weight muscles (P less than .05) at 85 d of gestation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. Increased specific activities of cytochrome c oxidase, catalase, succinate dehydrogenase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and malate dehydrogenase were observed during glucose de-repression of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. 2. The cell-cycle of this organism was analysed by three different methods: (a) harvesting of cells at intervals from a synchronous culture, (b) separation of cells by rate-zonal centrifugation into different size classes and (c) separation of cells by isopycnic-zonal centrifugation into different density classes. 3. Measurement of enzyme activities during the cell-cycle showed that all the enzymes assayed [cytochrome c oxidase, catalase, acid p-nitrophenylphosphatase, NADH-dehydrogenase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP) and fumarate hydratase] show periodic expression as ;peaks'. 4. Cytochrome c oxidase shows a single maximum at 0.67 of a cycle, whereas succinate dehydrogenase exhibits two maxima separated by 0.5 of a cell-cycle. 5. All other enzymes assayed showed two distinct maxima per cell-cycle; for catalase, malate dehydrogenase and NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase there is the possibility of multiple fluctuations. 6. The single maximum of cytochrome c oxidase appears at a similar time in the cycle to one maximum of each of the other enzymes studied, except for NADH dehydrogenase. 7. These results are discussed with reference to previous observations on the expression of enzyme activities during the cell-cycle of yeasts.

1. Changes in the amounts and distribution of protein and respiratory enzymes have been estimated during the life cycle of the fly Lucilia cuprina. 2. The fully fed larva contains about 7mg. of protein, the pupa and newly emerged fly about 4mg., and the mature adult about 3mg. 3. There are two periods of incorporation of protein into particles at the expense of the soluble protein; the first, immediately after pupation, may store protein (0.5mg./insect) for use in adult development; the second, over the period of emergence, was due mainly to the development of the thoracic mitochondria of the adult (0.7mg./insect). 4. In the thorax, cytochrome c oxidase and the dehydrogenases for glycerophosphate, isocitrate (NAD-dependent), succinate and malate appeared initially in small particles (less than 1mu in diameter). 5. In adult development these enzymes were redistributed so that in the mature fly most of the activity was present in larger particles (1-10mu in diameter). 6. During this redistribution the specific activity (mul. of oxygen/hr./mg. of protein) of glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in the small particles was 690 at 1(1/2) days before emergence, 955 at emergence and 980 at 7 days after emergence; the corresponding values for the large particles were 164, 760 and 1220. 7. In the mature fly the highest specific activities (mul. of oxygen/hr./mg. of protein) estimated were: glycerophosphate dehydrogenase 1380, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-dependent and requiring ADP and Mg(2+)) 408, succinate dehydrogenase 122, malate dehydrogenase 190, and cytochrome c oxidase 1360. 8. The results are considered in relation to the development of the flight-muscle sarcosomes.

Crude extracts of both vegetative cells and glycerol-induced microcysts of Myxococcus xanthus contained the following enzyme activities: phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, fructosediphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphopyruvate carboxylase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, and uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase. With the exception of isocitrate dehydrogenase, which was present at a fivefold higher concentration in microcysts, all activities in extracts from both types of cells were essentially equal. Hexokinase and pyruvate kinase could not be detected in extracts from either type of cell. Microcysts metabolized acetate at a lower rate than did vegetative cells. Most of this decrease was reflected in a substantial decrease in ability of microcysts to oxidize acetate to CO(2). In addition, microcysts and vegetative cells showed a different distribution of (14)C-label from incorporated acetate.

By using the continuous culture technique, the transition from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis and its effect on a number of enzymes has been investigated in Escherichia coli K-12. A decrease in the oxygen partial pressure below 28.0 mm of Hg resulted firstly in an increase of the respiratory enzymes (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide [NADH] oxidase, 2.53-fold; succinic dehydrogenase, 1.4-fold; cytochrome b(1), 3.91-fold; and cytochrome a(2), 2.45-fold) before the electron transport system gradually collapsed as cytochrome a(2), followed by cytochrome b(1), succinic dehydrogenase, and finally NADH oxidase decreased in activity. The change from respiration to fermentation was initiated well before the oxygen tension reached zero by the increase in levels of fructose diphosphate-aldolase, glucose 6-phosphate, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases and a decrease in 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. Whem the dissolved oxygen tension reached zero, dry weight and CO(2) formation together with isocitrate dehydrogenase decreased, whereas acid production and phosphofructokinase synthesis started to increase. Enzymatic investigations revealed that the kinetics of the enzyme phosphofructokinase from strict aerobic cultures (6.9 ppm oxygen in solution) was adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-insensitive, whereas the same enzyme from anaerobic cultures was ATP-sensitive. A mechanism is proposed for the change from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis together with the occurring change in glucose regulation.

1. Hepatic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was increased in rats exposed to 5lb/in(2) (equivalent to 27000ft), 100% O(2) when compared with control animals in a 14.7lb/in(2) (sea level), air environment. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and succinate dehydrogenase were not affected by the 5lb/in(2), 100% O(2) environment. 2. Animals exposed to the hyperoxic environment consumed food, expired CO(2) and gained weight at the same rate as normoxic control animals. Additionally, blood glucose and liver glycogen concentrations were unchanged in the hyperoxic animals. The only readily apparent physiological difference in the hyperoxic animals was a decreased haematocrit. 3. The increase in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was eliminated by the injection of actinomycin D or cycloheximide. 4. Expiration of (14)CO(2) from [1-(14)C]glucose was approximately the same in hyperoxic and normoxic rats. However, (14)CO(2) expiration from [6-(14)C]glucose was markedly decreased in the animals exposed to the hyperoxic environment. 5. Calculations of the relative importance of the pentose phosphate pathway versus the tricarboxylic acid cycle plus glycolysis indicated that the livers from animals in the 5lb/in(2), 100% O(2) environment metabolized twice as much carbohydrate by way of the pentose phosphate pathway as did those from the sea-level air control animals. 6. In livers of rats exposed to 5lb/in(2), 100% O(2) the concentrations of pyruvate, citrate and 2-oxoglutarate were increased, that of isocitrate was slightly elevated, whereas the concentrations of succinate, fumarate and malate were decreased. 7. An inactivation of both tricarboxylic acid cycle lipoate-containing dehydrogenases, pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate, under hyperoxic conditions is proposed. 8. The adaptive significance of the induction of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and the resultant production of NADPH under hyperoxic conditions is discussed.
