Various flavins, FMN, FAD, and acriflavin, were immobilized to Sepharose using several different coupling methods. The only product stable enough to permit extended studies was acriflavin coupled to epoxy-substituted Sepharose. The nonenzymic oxidizing capacity towards NAD(P) H was investigated and a 25% specific activity, compared to that of free acriflavin, was observed. The reduced acriflavin was immediately auto-reoxidized in air and could thus be reused. It was shown that acriflavin-Sepharose preparations function as NAD(P)H oxidizing agents in a number of different dehydrogenase systems including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), alanine dehydrogenase (alaDH), and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). The amount of expensive coenzyme necessary for high product formation of such systems was thereby markedly reduced.

1) A lysosomal protease, a new cathepsin that inactivates glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.49] and some other enzymes and differs from cathepsin B [EC 3.4.22.1] was purified about 2,200-fold from crude extracts of rat liver by cell-fractionation, freezing and thawing, acetone treatment, gel filtration, and DEAE Sephadex and CM-Sephadex column chromatographies. 2) The new cathepsin was markedly activated by the thiol-reagent, 2-mercaptoethanol and inhibited by monoiodoacetate. 3) The molecular weight of the new cathepsin was found by Sephadex G-75 column chromatography to be 22,000, which is smaller than that of cathepsin B. 4) The optimum pH of the enzyme for inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was pH 5.0--5.5. The enzyme was unstable in alkali and on heat treatment. 5) The rates of inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, apo-ornithine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.13], apo-tyrosine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.5], apo-cystathionase [EC 4.4.1.1], glucokinase [EC 2.7.1.2], glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [EC 1.2.1.12], and malate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.37] by the new cathepsin were higher than those by cathepsin B. However aldolase [EC 4.1.2.13] was inactivated more rapidly by cathepsin B than by the new cathepsin. Lactate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.27], glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.2] and alcohol dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.1] were not inactivated by either cathepsin. Unlike cathepsin B, the new cathepsin scarcely hydrolyzes N-substituted derivatives of arginine.

The levels of several enzymes have been studied during sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisia. The specific activities of ribonuclease and aminopeptidase I raised several-fold after transfer of the cells to sporulation medium, whereas the specific activities of phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, tryptophan synthase and pyruvate decarboxylase were not significantly altered. The specific activities of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, malate dehydrogenase and fructose bisphosphatase all decreased from the onset of sporulation. The inactivation of these latter enzymes was inhibited by cycloheximide and by inhibitors of energy metabolism. Hexokinase, alcohol dehydrogenase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase were partially lost from the cells during the period of ascus maturation. None of the enzyme changes observed proved to be 'sporulation-specific' in that it occurred exclusively in sporulating diploid yeast cells. Therefore it is postulated that the meiotic events and the metabolic changes required for ascospore formation are under separate genetic control in this organism. During sporulation, the cellular content of cytochromes b, c, and aa3 was reduced to 20% or less of that present in vegetative derepressed cells. Since the relative percentage of total to cycloheximide-insensitive mitochondrial protein synthesis was not significantly altered throughout sporulation, and the pattern of mitochondrially synthesized polypeptides was rather similar both in vegetative and in sporulating cells, it appeared that not only degradation but also synthesis and therefore turnover of the mitochondrially coded polypeptides of cytochromes b and aa3 took place during sporulation. The activity ratio of cytochrome c oxidase to F1-ATPase in submitochondrial particles isolated from vegetative cells and from purified asci was almost identical. This indicates that the loss of membrane-bound mitochondrial cytochromes during sporulation is probably due to a nonselective degradation of inner mitochondrial membrane proteins.

The activities of twelve enzymes were measured in crude extracts from cells of Escherichia coli K-10 grown aerobically or anaerobically in a defined medium in the presence or absence of nitrate. The activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase, aconitate hydratase, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, and D-lactate dehydrogenase (NAD+-independent) were found to be higher in cells grown in nitrate respiration than in those in fermentation, but lower than in those in respiration. This finding may explain the incomplete oxidation in nitrate respiration and, on the other hand, suggests the operation of the tricarboxylic acid even under these conditions. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase in relation to the formation of fermentation product were as high in cells grown in fermentation as in those in respiration and were low in those in nitrate respiration. However, that ratio of the activities in the latter case to the activities in respiration was the same as the ratio for most enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The level of lactate dehydrogenase (NAD+-dependent) was not affected by nitrate respiration but its activity in the extract was inhibited by nitrate and nitrite. The absence of lactate in the anaerobic culture with nitrate may be due to this inhibition as well as NADH oxidation by nitrate. Levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase were not altered by the growth conditions and that of pyruvate dehydrogenase was low only in cells grown in fermentation.

Thermophilic bacilli, contrary to mesophilic, grow equally well under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This may be due to the presence of more active anaerobic dehydrogenases in thermophilic organisms. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, and the content of ATP, increased in the cells of thermophilic Bac. stearothermophilus 159 and mesophilic Bac. megaterium M strains growing at temperatures close to maximal. The activity of glutamate dehydrogenase under these conditions was inhibited.

The adsorption of 8 enzymes to polyaminomethylstyrene was studied. While lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase exhibit a relatively low affinity to the carrier, alcohol dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase and urease were found to form stabile complexes with the polymer that are enzymatically active. Adsorbed urease and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, are still active after several weeks; the other preparations lose their activity soon. It can be shown by the example of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase that the activity loss following adsorption is caused possibly by a process of reorientation of already bound enzyme molecules or by the increasing enzyme coverage of the carrier, with the active centres becoming more and more inaccessible for the substrate. During the substrate conversion catalysed by the alcohol dehydrogenase-polyaminomethylstyrene complex, a small amount of the enzyme is again detached from the carrier. The activity rises to a certain extent in the supernatant but drops to zero again. The stability of the adsorbed urease is distinctly increased compared with the dissolved enzyme. For the pH optimum and the KM value there are no differences between the two preparations. Continuous application of polyaminomethylstyrene-bound beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and urease, respectively, in a column shows that both preparations have unchanged enzymatic activities even after running times of 5 and 24 days, respectively.

Electrophoretic mobilities in polyacrylamide gel of five dehydrogenases: NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) were investigated in a series of mouse X Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Seven hybrid lines with different ratio of chromosome sets of hamster and mouse: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 1:2 respectively were studied. NADP-MDH and 6PGD of both parental species and intermediate hybrid bands were present in all hybrids except two lines. These lines had only hamster MDH due to the elimination of mouse chromosomes. A correlation was found between the gene dose and the intensity of the expression of the MDH bands. The mouse type ADH was detected in all hybrids. The hamster ADH was found in one of the hybrid lines that lost all mouse chromosomes during cultivation. It is suggested that hamster ADH activity was suppressed in hybrids by the mouse genome. The species origin of GDH and G6PD could not be established due to similarity of electrophoretic mobilities of respective enzymes in parental cells.

A correlation was found between the gene dose and the intensity of the expression of the MDH bands. The mouse type ADH was detected in all hybrids. The hamster ADH was found in one of the hybrid lines that lost all mouse chromosomes during cultivation. It is suggested that hamster ADH activity was suppressed in hybrids by the mouse genome. The species origin of GDH and G6PD could not be established due to similarity of electrophoretic mobilities of respective enzymes in parenteral cells.

The catalytic activity, expressed as Km and Vmax values, of 16 enzymes of practical interest with the macromolecular coenzymes poly(ethylene glycol)-N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NAD+ and poly(ethylene glycol)-N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NADP+ and their low molecular weight precursors N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NAD+ and N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NADP+, was investigated. The enzymes examined are of direct interest for organic synthesis (i.e. alcohol dehydrogenase from yeast, horse liver, or Thermoanaerobium brockii, lactic dehydrogenase, and several hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases) or are used for the regeneration of NAD+, NADP+, NADH, or NADPH (i.e. glutamate dehydrogenase from liver or Proteus, formate dehydrogenase, glucose dehydrogenase, and malic enzyme). The cycling efficiency of poly(ethylene glycol)-N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NADP+ was examined with coupled-enzymes or coupled-substrates systems. Poly(ethylene glycol)-N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NAD+ and, even more so, poly(ethylene glycol)-N6-(2-aminoethyl)-NADP+ were excellent coenzymes with several dehydrogenases. In addition, the coenzymatic properties of N6-(3-sulfonatopropyl)-NAD+, an NAD+ derivative carrying a strong anionic group, were compared with those of the newly synthesized N6-(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium propyl)-NAD+, an NAD+ derivative carrying a strong cationic group. It was expected that the presence of the sulfonic or quaternary ammonium group would enhance the residence time of the coenzyme inside continuous-flow reactors if membranes with anionic or cationic groups, respectively, were used.

When a 10% aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde (GA) was alkalized to pH 8.5 in borate buffer solution and heated at 60 degrees C, the ultraviolet spectrum of GA solution showed two distinct absorption maxima. The one at 280 nm with a weak absorbance ascribable to the C = O bond in the aldehyde group shifted to near 300 nm after 50 min with a slight increase in its intensity. Another maximum at 235 nm with a strong absorbance was ascribable to the C = C bond of the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde group which was formed by aldol condensation reaction of GA monomer, and its absorbance increased markedly with increasing reaction time. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis with detection at 235 nm indicated that several GA oligomers were formed by the alkali treatment and their concentrations increased. The cross-linking ability of these oligomers was examined by immobilizing enzymes (alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH] to an aminated polymer gel matrix by reaction with the treated GA solution. The enzyme activities increased with increasing concentration of GA oligomers. Then, the GA oligomers were isolated and used as the cross-linking agent. The activities of ADH and GLDH were 4-fold and 13-fold higher, respectively, than those obtained by using untreated GA solution, while the total amounts of immobilized enzymes were almost unchanged. These results suggest that GA oligomers may act as cross-linkers in a manner different from the generally accepted Schiff base formation reaction; a possible mechanism may involve addition reaction of an amino group to the double bond in the aldol condensate of GA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
