Glutamate induced the synthesis of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase 50-fold during anaerobic growth of Citrobacter freundii and, in the absence of glutamate, this enzyme was even more active in cultures sparged with N2/CO2(95:5, v/v). Enzyme synthesis was partially repressed when the inlet gas was passed through heated copper but totally repressed when the inlet gas was passed through alkaline pyrogallol and reduced benzyl viologen (a treatment which would remove CO2 as well as O2). Fumarate hydratase activity also decreased but alcohol dehydrogenase and the sum of the succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities increased when residual O2 was removed from the sparging gas. Soluble cytochromes a1 and c552.5 were detected in rigorously anaerobic cultures. Thus traces of O2 which contaminate commercial compressed N2 are sufficient to induce 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase synthesis and to affect significantly the synthesis and incorporation of respiratory chain components into the cytoplasmic membrane.

Male albino rats were kept on copper-enriched diet for 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. Experiments were made to study the electron transported, oxidative phosphorylation and the activity of some respiratory enzymes (rotenone-insensitive NAD. H-cytochrome c-reductase, NAD. H-DCPIP-reductase, succinate-cytochrome c(DCPIP)-reductase and succinate dehydrogenase) depending on the duration of copper sulphate treatment and hepatic copper level. Copper content is found to rise as early as the 2nd week, after which it remains relatively constant. Oxygen consumption in State 3 decreases strongly during the 2nd week and remains low throughout the period studied. Oxygen consumption in State 4 also decreases in the 2nd week, after which it rises and reaches the values of the control animals. The enzyme activities studied are also strongly inhibited (32-57%) after a 14-day treatment, later they are recovered gradually, reaching 50-79% of the control values. The probable compensatory mechanism of copper metabolism in the liver and the participation of thiol groups in it are discussed.

The rabbits being repeatedly poisoned with small doses of sodium cyanide, the activity of succinic dehydrogenase in the tissues does not essentially change. The activity of NAD.H2-cytochrome-c-reductase and NAD.H2-diaphorase in the brain, myocardium and kidneys increases. Under histotoxic hypoxia the level of iron in the tissues increases by 52-93%, that of copper--by 28-36%, of zinc--by 21-74% and of cobalt by 28-40%. There existed a positive correlation between the content of iron and the activity of NAD-dependent enzymes. In nonlethal form of histotoxic hypoxia the content of nonhemin iron and the activity of NAD.H2-cytochrome-c-reductase in the mitochondria of the brain increases by 25% and 17%, respectively, and a direct correlation is revealed between them.

The mitochondrial derivative of the sperm of the gastropod pulmonate Biomphalaria glabrata was studies to ascertain succinic dehydrogenase localization cytochemically. Two techniques were compared. One technique depends on a tetrazolium salt that yields an osmiophilic formazan upon reduction. The other technique is dependent on the reduction of copper ferricyanide. The effects of several electron transport inhibitors were studied. The reaction product observed in the matrix of the mitochondrial derivative using the former technique is sensitive to rotenone and is believed to be nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent. The reaction product observed in the intracristal spaces using the copper ferricyanide method is insensitive to rotenone and is believed to cytochemically demonstrate succinic dehydrogenase in this material.

In sheep from biogeochemical provinces enriched by molybdenum and copper and in a model form of molybdenum toxicosis in animals, the important role of enzymic and neurohumoral systems in the development of adaptation to excessive uptake of molybdenum and copper has been demonstrated. Adaptive reorganization of the activity of enzymic systems (xanthine oxidase, ceruloplasmin, succinate dehydrogenase, aspartate and alanine aminotransferases) and gradual involvement of neurohumoral mechanisms of the sympathoadrenal and cholinoreactive systems provide for adaptation of some animals in molybdenum and copper-molybdenum biogeochemical provinces. In other sheep, under the same conditions, dystonic disturbances in the vegetative nervous systems are observed together with the development of molybdenum toxicosis.

A (H+ + K+)-ATPase-enriched membrane fraction derived from the fundic portion of hog gastric mucosa was obtained by a combination of differential and repeated 7% Ficoll gradient centrifugation. The microsomal membrane fraction isolated by repeated 7% Ficoll gradient centrifugation was free of ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase and succinate dehydrogenase; and it was highly enriched in (H+ + K+)-ATPase and K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase (p-NPPase). The (H+ + K+)-ATPase had a pH optimum of 7.4 and was stimulated by Tl+, K+, Rb+ and NH4+ with Ka values of 0.0667, 0.526, 0.667 and 3.03 mM, respectively, at this pH. On the other hand, monovalent cations such as Na+, Li+ and (CH3)4N+ as well as divalent cations such as Cu2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+ and Cd2+ inhibited this enzyme activity concentration-dependently. Ouabain and oligomycin had no effect, whereas omeprazole, a specific (H+ + K+)-ATPase inhibitor, inhibited this enzyme activity in a pH-dependent manner. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a major band (greater than or equal to 90% of protein) at 97,400 daltons, which was phosphorylated in the presence of Mg2+ and [gamma-32P]-ATP and dephosphorylated in the presence of K+. The present method was very simple, and the (H+ + K+)-ATPase activity of the microsomal fraction obtained by this method was much higher compared with those obtained by other methods such as free-flow electrophoresis.

Brain mitochondrial enzyme activities were examined in 15-day-old suckling mice which were daily injected with D-penicillamine (DP), a chelating agent of copper. Newborn mice treated with DP (1 g/kg/day) showed retarded weight gain, hyperelasticity of skin, and a bizarre forelimb posture with subcutaneous edema on experimental day (ED) 7. Paraparesis or dragging of the hindlimbs was observed by ED 15. Brain copper contents of DP-treated mice decreased to 34% of the controls of ED 15. Cytochrome c oxidase activity (complex IV) in the brain showed 51% decrease of the controls, on the contrary, rotenone-sensitive NADH cytochrome c reductase (complex I + III) and succinate cytochrome c reductase (complex II + III) were normal. Histochemistry of cytochrome c oxidase in the cerebellum of DP-treated mice disclosed diffuse reduction of staining, especially in Purkinje cells. These data show that DP-induced copper deficiency in the brain subsequently disturbs mitochondrial electron transport system, selectively cytochrome c oxidase activity. This seems to be a useful animal model not only for Menkes' kinky hair disease but also for mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.

The influence of dietary iron deficiency, lead exposure or their combination on certain enzymes, and the accumulation of Pb and essential metal levels in vital organs of rats was investigated. Iron deficiency caused alterations in the activity of muscle, hepatic and renal succinate dehydrogenase, and hepatic mitochondrial succinate cytochrome c reductase, whereas Pb exposure had no influence on these enzymes. There was no synergistic effect of the two factors on the activity of the enzymes. However, feeding of a Fe-deficient diet during Pb exposure enhanced the accumulation of Pb in soft tissues and flat bones. The hepatic copper and zinc levels were lowered upon either feeding a Fe-deficient diet or Pb exposure. However, the synergistic effect of the two factors was evident in hepatic Cu, but not in hepatic Zn. The feeding of a Fe-deficient diet decreased liver, kidney, and spleen levels of Fe, whereas Pb exposure decreased kidney and spleen Fe. The synergistic influence of the two factors could be observed only in liver and kidney.

It has been established that the concentration of nucleic acids, protein, glycogen, ATP, copper, manganese, zinc as well as the activity of cytochromoxidase and succinate dehydrogenase in tissues of the thymus gland and spleen of albino rats a day after stimulation by phytohemagglutinin increase considerably reaching the maximal values three days later. Taking a prolonged term (up to 7 days) after phytohemagglutinin administration it is found that the content and activity of the studied indices in the thymus and spleen tissues lower regularly, but fail reaching normal values even 14 days after stimulation. In this case changes in the test indices in the spleen are less pronounced than in the thymus in all the studied periods. In the tissues of adrenals a tendency of changes in the manganese and copper content is like that in lymphoid organs in all periods after stimulation by phytohemagglutinin; other test indices have an opposite tendency.

Copper (Cu) deficiency, induced in rats by suckling from Cu-deficient dams and by offering a semisynthetic low-Cu diet from weaning, resulted in cardiac enlargement. This enlargement was not due to accumulation of excess fluid in the heart but was characterized by mitochondrial hypertrophy as demonstrated by electron microscopy and biochemical studies. Administration of reserpine limited the extent of cardiac enlargement; however, heart total noradrenaline (NA), unchanged by Cu deficiency, was significantly reduced by reserpine. It was concluded that cardiac enlargement in Cu deficiency was not directly related to NA concentration. An alteration in cardiac energy status, however, was suggested by reduction in activity of the nonheme iron-dependent enzyme, succinic dehydrogenase.
