Enzyme activity was measured in 164 white rats exposed to hypokinesia of varying duration. NAD- and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (ICDH) decreased on hypokinesia day 7 and returned to normal on recovery days 4-5. Their enzyme activity was diminished on hypokinesia day 15. NAD- and NADP-dependent ICDH returned to normal on recovery days 11 and 7, respectively. Activity of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) decreased immediately after hypokinesia and remained lowered till day 18. Activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) was decreased on recovery days 1-3 and increased on days 9-17. After 30-day hypokinesia PDH activity was lower than normal on recovery days 2-14. 30-day hypokinesia led to reduction of ICDH, KGDH, and SDH. NADP-dependent ICDH returned to normal on recovery day 12 and other enzymes during the third week of readaptation. These results suggest that during recovery the enzymes that are responsible for energy metabolism restoration are first to return to normal.

We propose a spatial structure for the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex (tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolon). The structure is based on an analysis of data on the interaction between tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and the mitochondrial inner membrane, as well as on data on enzyme-enzyme interactions. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, adsorbed along one of the 3-fold symmetry axes of the mitochondrial inner membrane, plays a key role in formation of the metabolon. In the interaction with the membrane, two association sites of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex participate, placed on opposite sides of the complex. The tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex contains one molecule of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and six molecules of each of the other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as well as aspartate aminotransferase and nucleoside-diphosphate kinase. Succinate dehydrogenase, which is the integral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane, is a component of the anchor site responsible for the assembly of the metabolon on the membrane. The molecular mass of the complex (without regard to succinate dehydrogenase) is 8 x 10(6) Da. The metabolon symmetry corresponds to the D3 point symmetry group.

The primary structure of the succinyl-CoA synthetase of Escherichia coli has been deduced from the nucleotide sequence of a 2451-base-pair segment of DNA containing the corresponding sucC (beta subunit) and sucD (alpha subunit) genes. The genes are located at one end of a gene cluster that encodes several citric acid cycle enzymes: gltA-sdhCDAB-sucABCD; gltA, citrate synthase; sdh, succinate dehydrogenase; sucA and sucB, the dehydrogenase (E1) and succinyltransferase (E2) components of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The sucC and sucD genes are separated from the sucA and sucB genes by a 273-base-pair segment containing four palindromic units, but they appear to be expressed from a sucABCD read-through transcript that extends from the suc promoter to a potential rho-independent terminator at the distal end of sucD. The stop codon of the sucC gene overlaps the sucD initiation codon by a single nucleotide, indicating close translational coupling of the sucC and sucD genes. The sucC gene comprises 1161 base pairs (388 codons, excluding the stop codon), and it encodes a polypeptide of Mr 41 390 corresponding to the beta subunit of succinyl-CoA synthetase. The sucD gene comprises 864 base pairs (288 codons, excluding the start and stop codons), and it encodes a product of Mr 29 644, corresponding to the alpha subunit of succinyl-CoA synthetase. The alpha subunit contains a 12-residue amino acid sequence that is identical with the histidine peptide previously isolated from the phosphoenzyme. This sequence forms part of one of the two potential nucleotide binding sites detected in the alpha subunit.

Succinate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activities were determined in the liver of chick embryos and one and two day old chickens. The succinate dehydrogenase activity remained unchanged throughout development. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity decreased by the end of embryogenesis and increased after hatching. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity as an index of rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle is discussed.

The genes encoding both subunits of the succinyl-CoA synthetase of Escherichia coli have been identified as distal genes of the suc operon, which also encodes the dehydrogenase (Elo; sucA) and succinyltransferase (E2o; sucB) components of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The newly defined genes express polypeptides of 41 kDa (sucC) and 31 kDa (sucD), corresponding to the beta and alpha subunits of succinyl-CoA synthetase, respectively. The genes are thus located at 16.8 min in the E. coli linkage map, together with the citrate synthase (gltA) and succinate dehydrogenase (sdh) genes, in a cluster of nine citric acid cycle genes: gltA-sdhCDAB-sucABCD. Four deletion strains lacking all of these citric acid cycle enzymes were characterized. The succinyl-CoA synthetase activities of strains harbouring plasmids containing the sucC and sucD genes were amplified some fourfold. Further enzymological studies indicated that expression of succinyl-CoA synthetase is coordinately regulated with 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase.

In virtue of analysis of data on the interaction of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes with the mitochondrial inner membrane and data on the enzyme-enzyme interactions, the spatial structure for the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex (tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolon) is proposed. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, adsorbed on the mitochondrial inner membrane along one of its 3-fold symmetry axes, plays the key role in the formation of metabolon. Two association sites of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex located on opposite sides of the complex participate in the interaction with the membrane. The tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex contains one molecule of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and six molecules of each of the other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as well as aspartate aminotransferase and nucleosidediphosphate kinase. Succinate dehydrogenase, the integral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane, is a component of the anchor site responsible for the assembly of metabolon on the membrane. The molecular mass of the complex (ignoring succinate dehydrogenase) is of 8.10(6) daltons. The metabolon symmetry corresponds to the D3 point symmetry group. It is supposed, that the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex interacts with other multienzyme complexes of the matrix and the electron transfer chain.

Glutamine is utilized at a high rate (fourfold higher than that of glucose) by isolated incubated lymphocytes and produces glutamate, aspartate, lactate and ammonia. The pathway for glutamine metabolism includes the reactions catalysed by glutaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. In fact little if any of the carbon of the glutamine that is used is converted to acetyl-CoA for complete oxidation. For this reason, the oxidation of glutamine is only partial and, in an analogous manner to the terminology used to describe the partial oxidation of glucose to lactate as glycolysis, the term glutaminolysis is used to describe the process of partial glutamine oxidation. The role of glutaminolysis in lymphocytes and perhaps other rapidly dividing cells is to provide both nitrogen and carbon for precursors for synthesis of macromolecules (e.g. purines and pyrimidines for DNA and RNA) and also energy. However, the rate of glutamine utilization by lymphocytes is markedly in excess of the precursor requirements (which are at most 4%) and if glutamine was vitally important in energy production it would be expected that more would be converted to acetyl-CoA for complete oxidation via the Krebs cycle. Indeed most of the energy for lymphocytes may be obtained by the complete oxidation of fatty acids and ketone bodies. Consequently the role of the high rate of glutaminolysis in lymphocytes and other rapidly dividing cells may be identical to that of glycolysis: the high rates provide ideal conditions for the precise and sensitive control of the rate of use of the intermediates of these pathways for biosynthesis when required. High rates of glycolysis and glutaminolysis can be seen as part of a mechanism of control to permit synthesis of macromolecules when required without any need for extracellular signals to make more glucose or glutamine available for these cells. In order to maintain a high rate of glutaminolysis despite fluctuation in the plasma level of glutamine, the flux through the glutaminolytic pathway can be controlled and the key processes in the lymphocyte that may play a role in this process include glutamine transport across the cell and mitochondrial membranes, glutaminase and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. Changes in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ may play a role in control of one or more of these reactions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The experiments on (CBA X C57BL/6)F1 mice have shown that regular corazol injections in subliminal doses stimulated seizure susceptibility (pharmacological kindling). Cytophotometric assay of the activity of oxidative metabolism enzymes (glutamate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase) and GABA-transaminase in the sensorimotor cortex of kindled mice in post-convulsive period, and 24 hours or 30 days after corazol injections were discontinued, has revealed some specific alterations of the enzymes under study, that suggest the existence of two phases of energy metabolism disturbances. The first phase (24 hours after corazol injections were discontinued) is characterized by intensified succinic acid oxidation, while the second phase (30 days after the last injection) is characterized by anaerobic glycolysis in neuronal and glial cells. Inhibition of GABA-transaminase activity was particularly marked in postconvulsive period. From a molecular point of view these data may be considered as enzyme disturbances during stimulation of seizure susceptability or seizure activity and as a compensation component ensuring anticonvulsive mechanisms and reparative processes (antagonistic principle of molecular mechanism regulation) during activation of antiepileptic system.

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.
