A morphological mutant (col-2) of Neurospora, which is partially deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) activity and has lower levels of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), accumulated three-fold more triglycerides during log-phase growth than the wild-type strain. Increased lipid deposition was not found in other strains that included slow-growing morphological mutants, NADPH-deficient strains, G-6-PD-deficient mutants, wild-type revertants from col-2, and a cel, col-2 double mutant. The cel, col-2 strain was supplemented with an exogenous source of fatty acids because it cannot synthesize these lipid moieties. The observed normal lipid content of this strain suggests that the lipid deposition in col-2 on glucose is due to an overstimulation of fatty acid synthesis and not a deficiency in fatty acid breakdown. The neutral lipid levels in both wild type and col-2 were decreased to identical levels when grown on glutamate as a carbon source. This effect was not due to changes in glutamic dehydrogenase levels. The omission of citrate from the glutamate medium reduced wild-type neutral lipid levels even further, but had no effect on col-2. The variations with time in the neutral lipid levels of col-2 upon changes in these carbon sources are presented, as well as a discussion of the possible types of regulatory effects unique to the col-2 mutation which might affect fatty acid synthesis.

1. Aerobically grown yeast having a high activity of glyoxylate-cycle, citric acid-cycle and electron-transport enzymes was transferred to a medium containing 10% glucose. After a lag phase of 30min. the yeast grew exponentially with a mean generation time of 94min. 2. The enzymes malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase lost 45%, 17%, 27% and 46% of their activity respectively during the lag phase. 3. When growth commenced pyruvate kinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, alcohol dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)-linked) and NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase increased in activity, whereas aconitase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)- and NADP(+)-linked), alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH oxidase, NADPH oxidase, cytochrome c oxidase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)-linked), glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, isocitrate lyase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase decreased. 4. During the early stages of growth the loss of activity of aconitase, alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, fumarase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase could be accounted for by dilution by cell division. The lower rate of loss of activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)- and NADP(+)-linked), glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)-linked), glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, NADPH oxidase and cytochrome c oxidase implies their continued synthesis, whereas the higher rate of loss of activity of malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and NADH oxidase means that these enzymes were actively removed. 5. The mechanisms of selective removal of enzyme activity and the control of the residual metabolic pathways are discussed.

1. Correlation between elution volume, V(e), and molecular weight was investigated for gel filtration of proteins of molecular weights ranging from 3500 (glucagon) to 820000 (alpha-crystallin) on Sephadex G-200 columns at pH7.5. 2. Allowing for uncertainties in the molecular weights, the results for most of the carbohydrate-free globular proteins fitted a smooth V(e)-log(mol.wt.) curve. In the lower part of the molecular-weight range the results were similar to those obtained with Sephadex G-75 and G-100 gels. 3. V(e)-log(mol.wt.) curves based on results with the three gels are taken to represent the behaviour of ;typical' globular proteins, and are proposed as standard data for the uniform interpretation of gel-filtration experiments. 4. Some glycoproteins, including gamma-globulins and fibrinogen, do not conform to the standard relationship. The effect of shape and carbohydrate content on the gel-filtration behaviour of proteins is discussed. 5. As predicted by the theoretical studies of other authors, correlation exists between the gel-filtration behaviour and diffusion coefficients of proteins. 6. The lower molecular-weight limit for complete exclusion of typical globular proteins from Sephadex G-200 varies with the swelling of the gel, but is usually >10(6). 7. The concentration-dependent dissociation of glutamate dehydrogenase was observed in experiments with Sephadex G-200, and the sub-unit molecular weight estimated as 250000. The free sub-units readily lose enzymic activity. 8. Recognition of the atypical gel-filtration behaviour of gamma-globulins necessitates an alteration to several molecular weights previously estimated with Sephadex G-100 (Andrews, 1964). New values are: yeast glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 128000; bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase, 130000; Aerobacter aerogenes glycerol dehydrogenase, 140000; milk alkaline phosphatase, 180000.

Oxygen and glucose consumption and lactate production of the peritoneal membrane and intra-abdominal adhesions were measured in rats after a single intra-peritoneal colloidal silica injection. Enzyme histochemical studies were made of lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, NADH2-diaphorase, NADPH2-diaphorase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, leucylaminopeptidase and alkaline phosphatase in the peritoneal membrane. Anaerobic glycolysis comprises 47% of the total glucose consumption in the the normal peritoneum. Glucose consumption and lactate production of the peritoneal membrane increased sharply in the early phase of silica-induced peritonitis and stayed at a high level for a week indicating an enhanced anerobic metabolism. Oxygen and aerobic glucose consumption increased more slowly than anaerobic glucose consumption and reached their maxima 1 week after silica injection, indicating that the rate of aerobic metabolism is also higher in chemical peritonitis than in the controls. On the other hand, glucose consumption and lactate production increased in a parallel fashion in adhesions and in the peritoneum in the early phase of peritonitis. However, the maximum and later levels were less in adhesions than in the peritoneum. In the enzyme histochemical study high activities of enzymes indicating anaerobic energy metabolism and metabolism via the pentose phosphate shunt were seen in cells of the peritoneal membrane during the early phase of peritonitis. No activity was identified in enzymes indicating aerobic energy metabolism and increased catabolism before the end of the first week.

The effects of gossypol, a polyphenolic compound isolated from the cotton plant upon six oxidoreductases from cultured epimastigotes of Typanosoma cruzi were studied. Gossypol was a powerful inhibitor of the alpha-hydroxyacid and malate dehydrogenases, NAD-linked enzymes, and of glutamate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-dependent enzymes. The drug did not have an effect on succinate dehydrogenase, a flavoprotein. The Ki values with respect to substrate were 0.73, 0.3 and 3.5 microM for alpha-hydroxyacid, malate and glutamate dehydrogenases, respectively, and 1.1, 0.19 and 7.8 microM with respect to the coenzyme. Inhibition was noncompetitive with respect to substrate and uncompetitive in relation to the coenzyme.

Interaction of the electrolytically prepared dimers of nicotinamide adenine nucleotide, (NAD)2, and nicotinamide adenine nucleotide phosphate, (NADP)2, with lactate, alcohol, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, alpha-glycerophosphate, glutamate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase has been studied using the quenching of protein fluorescence, kinetics of inhibition and the stopped-flow method. It has been shown that these enzymes are able to bind dimers preserving their coenzyme specificity. The most efficient binding of (NAD)2 has been observed in the case of glutamate and lactate (bovine heart) dehydrogenase, the dissociation constants being 6 and 8 microM, respectively. (NADP)2 affinity to glutamate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is also fairly high. More detailed studies on the interactions of dimers with alcohol and glutamate dehydrogenase have shown that the binding to the coenzyme binding site is the prerequisite for the association. However, some additional stabilizing interactions with other enzyme groups are not excluded, though (NAD)2 does not bind to the known binding sites of these enzymes, such as the substrate pocket of alcohol dehydrogenase and the regulatory binding sites for ADP and GTP of glutamate dehydrogenase.

In porcine interareolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, 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 most of the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Only G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH activities increased within the uterine epithelium and nonspecific esterase activity within uterine as well as chorionic epithelia during the 2nd half of pregnancy. Within chorionic and uterine epithelia, hydrolases but not dehydrogenases demonstrated a higher activity at the bases of chorionic villi as compared to the apices and flanks of the latter. The action and influence of the demonstrated enzymes on metabolism, energy transfer, secretory, and resorptive activities of chorionic and uterine epithelia are discussed.

The total activity and isoenzyme spectra of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) were studied in the skin of sheep and their fetuses. There are 5 multiple molecular forms of LDG, 4--of GDG, 2--of MDG and 1--of G-6-PDG in the skin. It is established that the skin of adult sheep and fetus is similar as to the studied parameters.

Adipose tissue from fetuses decapitated at 45 d of gestation was removed and structurally and histochemically analyzed at 65, 85 and 110 d of gestation. Subcutaneous adipose tissue from decapitated and control fetuses at 65 d of gestation was histologically and histochemically similar. A reduced number of fat cell clusters in the outer layer of subcutaneous tissue and a poorly developed dermis was evident in decapitated fetuses at 85 d of gestation. Fat cell size was similar for control and decapitated fetuses at 65 d of gestation, whereas cells in 85 d-old decapitated fetuses were larger than cells in control fetuses. Adipocytes from control and 85 d-old decapitated fetuses were histochemically similar except for an elevated number of esterase positive cells in decapitated fetuses. At 110 d of gestation, adipocytes from decapitated fetuses had higher activities of the following enzymes than did control adipocytes: malate dehydrogenase (NADP dependent) glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase NADP dependent), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP dependent), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP dependent), NADPH-tetrazoleum reductase and esterase. Levels of succinate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase and NADH-tetrazoleum reductase were similar in cells from controls and decapitated fetuses. These data indicate that fetal decapitation probably exerts a positive influence on enzymes involved in lipid synthesis. However, fetal decapitation also exerts a negative influence on fat cell hyperplasia.

14C-labeled bicarbonate was incorporated into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material by cell suspensions of A. viscosus strain M100 and also into the four-carbon fermentation product, succinate, but not into the three-carbon fermentation product, lactate. The initial step in the conversion of 14C-labeled bicarbonate into both trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material and succinate was catalyzed by the enzyme phosphoenolypyruvate carboxylase, which served to convert the glycolytic intermediate, phosphoenolpyruvate, and bicarbonate to the four-carbon compound, oxalacetate. The metabolic fate of oxalacetate was its conversion to either trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material or succinate. One pathway by which oxalacetate may be metabolized into acid-insoluble material is via its conversion to the biosynthetic precursor aspartate by the action of glutamate aspartate aminotransferase. One source of the alpha-amino group of aspartate was the ammonium ion, which could be incorporated into glutamate, the substrate of the glutamate aspartate aminotransferase reaction, by the action of a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase whose reducing equivalents could be derived from the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent oxidative reactions of the hexose monophosphate pathway catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Alternatively, oxalacetate was converted to the fermentation product, succinate, through the sequential action of malate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and succinic dehydrogenase. The resolution and partial purification of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, glutamate aspartate aminotransferase, glutamate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and succinic dehydrogenase are also reported.
