The effects of arachidonic acid on the enzyme complexes in the electron transport system were investigated using submitochondrial particles from rat brain. Arachidonic acid irreversibly inhibited NADH-CoQ oxidoreductase (complex I) activity, but had no effect on the activities of succinate-CoQ oxidoreductase (complex II), CoQH2-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (complex III), cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV), ATPase (complex V), glutamate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase up to 50 microM. The inhibition was dose-dependent with an IC50 value of 110 nmol/mg protein. The Lineweaver-Burk plot revealed that the inhibition by arachidonic acid was noncompetitive against CoQ with a Ki value of 33 microM and uncompetitive against NADH with a Ki value of 22 microM.

Effects of coenzyme (NADH) and substrate (2-oxoglutarate) on the urea-induced dissociation and inactivation of immobilized phosphopyridoxyl derivative of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate-NAD(P)-oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.1.3) have been studied. Urea at concentration 3.0 to 4.0 M in the presence of NADH induced dissociation of the enzyme's hexamer to catalytically inactive immobilized dimer. In the presence of both NADH and 2-oxoglutarate at the urea concentration 1.0 to 2.0 M the hexamer dissociated to the conformationally stable immobilized trimer possessing 60% catalytic activity of the hexamer. Studies of regulatory properties of the immobilized trimer showed that the allosteric inhibition of glutamate dehydrogenase by GTP was realized on the level of trimers, where the subunits interact through identical heterological contacts.

The activation of glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate: NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.3) by L-leucine has been studied. Apparently homogeneous preparations from ox liver and brain were found to respond similarly. Commercially obtained preparations of the enzyme, which had suffered limited proteolysis during the purification procedure, were shown to behave similarly to preparations which had not suffered such proteolysis when the effects of L-leucine on the oxidative deamination reaction were studied using either NAD+ or NADP+ as the coenzyme. There was also no significant difference in the responses when the reductive reaction was determined with NADPH or with 40 microM NADH. At higher concentrations of NADH (160 microM) the unproteolysed preparations were activated by L-leucine to a considerably greater extent than those which had suffered limited proteolysis. These results accord with the greater sensitivity of the former preparations to inhibition by high concentrations of NADH and the relief of such inhibition by L-leucine. This amino acid was also found to relieve the inhibition of the enzyme by GTP, resulting in an apparent increase in the activation observed in the presence of this nucleotide. In contrast, under the conditions used in this work, the apparent degree of activation by L-leucine was found to be decreased in the presence of the activators ATP or ADP. The presence of high concentrations of NADH (200 microM) potentiated the high substrate inhibition by 2-oxoglutarate, and L-leucine significantly reduced this effect. The effects of L-leucine on the activity of glutamate dehydrogenase thus appear to be composed of a direct effect on the activity of the enzyme together with a relief of high substrate inhibition. The effects of GTP and 2-oxoglutarate in potentiating inhibition by NADH can account for their effects in enhancing the apparent activation by L-leucine. The marked differences in the responses of proteolysed and unproteolysed preparations of the enzyme result from the effects of proteolysis in decreasing the sensitivity to high concentrations of NADH.

Reduced pyridine nucleotide dependent glutamate synthase [L-glutamate: NADP+ oxidoreductase (transaminating); EC 1.4.1.13] was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus subtilis PCI 219. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 210,000, and the enzyme was composed of two nonidentical subunits with molecular weights of 160,000 and 56,000. The absorption and CD spectra of the enzyme indicated that the enzyme is an iron-sulfur flavoprotein. The enzyme was found to contain 1:1:7.4:8.7 mol of FMN, FAD, iron atoms, and acid-labile sulfur atoms per mol (MW 210,000). EPR measurements of the NADPH-reduced enzyme at 77K revealed the formation of a stable flavin semiquinone intermediate; however, none of the signals originating from the iron-sulfur cluster was observed. Still at 4.2K the EPR signals in the region of g = 2, which may originate from the paramagnetic iron-sulfur cluster, were clearly observed for both the isolated and dithionite-reduced states of the enzyme. The enzyme exhibited a wide coenzyme specificity, and either NADPH or NADH could be used as electron donor, although the latter was less effective. The enzyme activity was also expressed when ammonium chloride was substituted for L-glutamine. The optimum pHs for NADPH-Gln-, NADH-Gln-, and NADPH-NH3-dependent reactions were 7.8, 6.9, and 9.4, respectively. The apoenzyme exhibited substantial inactivation of the Gln-dependent activities but still retained the NH3-dependent activities. Enzyme reduction-oxidation experiments, initial velocity experiments, and product inhibition patterns revealed that both the NADPH-Gln- and NADH-Gln-dependent reactions coincided with the two-site ping-pong uni-uni bi-bi kinetic mechanism, while the NADPH-NH3-dependent reaction deviated from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The Gln-dependent activities were inhibited by several TCA cycle members, especially L-malate and fumarate, as well as L-methionine-SR-sulfoximine, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, and pCMB. The regulation of the glutamate synthase, glutamine synthetase [EC 6.3.1.2], and glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.3] activities was examined with cultures of cells grown with various nitrogen and carbon sources.

Bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate-NAD(P)-oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.1.3) and its radioactive phosphopyridoxyl derivative were covalently immobilized on Sepharose CL-4B with different degrees of cyanogen bromide activation. The catalytical and regulatory properties of the immobilized samples of the enzymes were studied. It was shown that the enzymes were immobilized through a single subunit of hexamer when sepharose was activated by small amounts of cyanogen bromide (less than 5 mg per 1 ml of gel). In this case, the immobilization did not alter the catalytical and regulatory properties of glutamate dehydrogenase. The immobilized radioactive phosphopyridoxyl derivative of glutamate dehydrogenase completely imitated the immobilized native enzyme and can be used as a convenient model for structural and functional investigation of catalytically active hexamer of glutamate dehydrogenase.

The urea-induced inactivation and dissociation of catalytically active hexamer of glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate-NAD(P)-oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.1.3) from bovine liver were studied using radioactive phosphopyridoxyl derivative of the enzyme immobilized on cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose CL-4B. It is shown that at neutral pH (7.0-7.8) urea causes dissociation of glutamate dehydrogenase to directly yield catalytically inactive immobilized monomers rather than hexamer's stable fragments at the same time. At pH 8.9 or 5.6 the urea-induced is accompanied by the formation of conformationally stable immobilized dimers or trimers, respectively. The trimers are catalytically active, whereas the dimers did not exhibit any enzymatic activity. The data obtained led to suggestion that the hexamer consists of three either equivalent dimers (3 alpha 2) or of two equivalent trimers (2 alpha 3).

It was shown that the blockage of epsilon-amino group of Lis-126 residue by 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidine-1-oxyl (TMPO) leads to the cooperative inactivation of glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate-NAD(P)-oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.1.3). The data concerning cooperative inactivation of the enzyme are interpreted by the model of hexamer with identical orientation of subunits. It was shown that the modification of any of enzyme subunits is accompanied by an inactivation of the hexamer's fragment which is a dimer, with subunits interacting reciprocally by means of isological contacts.

A tentative primary structure of the NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase [L-glutamate: NADP oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.4] from Neurospora crassa has been determined. The proposed sequence contains 452 amino-acid residues in each of the identical subunits of the hexameric enzyme. Comparison of the sequence with that of the bovine liver enzyme reveals considerable homology in the amino-terminal portion of the chain, including the vicinity of the reactive lysine, with only shorter stretches of homology within the carboxyl-terminal regions. The significance of this distribution of homologous regions is discussed.

The enzyme pattern of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was followed during batch growth and in continuous culture in a synthetic medium limited for glucose under aerobic conditions. Seven enzymes were measured: succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, malate dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked glutamate dehydrogenase, malate synthase, isocitrate lyase, aldolase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP(+))-linked glutamate dehydrogenase. During fermentation of glucose and high growth rate (mu) during the first log phase in batch experiments, the first five enzymes (group I) were repressed, and aldolase and NADP(+)-linked glutamate dehydrogenase (group II) were derepressed. During growth on the accumulated ethyl alcohol and lower mu, the group I enzymes were preferentially formed and the other two were repressed. A sequence of derepression of the group I enzymes was found during the shift from glucose to ethyl alcohol metabolism, which can be correlated with a strong increase in the percentage of single (nonbudding) cells in the population. A correlation between the state of cells in the budding cycle and enzyme repression and derepression is suggested. In continuous culture, the enzyme pattern was shown to be related to the growth rate. The group I enzymes were repressed at high growth rates, while the group II enzymes were derepressed. Each enzyme exhibits a different dependence. The enzyme pattern is shown to depend on the rate of substrate consumption as well as on the type of metabolism and to be correlated with the budding cycle. The enzyme pattern is considered to be controlled by changes of intracellular catabolic or metabolic conditions inherent in the division cycle.

Cell-free extracts of Bacillus licheniformis and B. cereus were found to contain high specific activities of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)-dependent-l-glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.4; l-glutamate: NADP oxidoreductase (deaminating)]. Maximum specific activities were found in extracts of cells during the late exponential phase of growth when ammonium ion served as the sole source of nitrogen. Extremely low specific activities were detected throughout the growth cycle when l-glutamate or Casamino Acids served as the source of carbon and nitrogen. The enzyme was purified 55-fold from crude extracts of B. licheniformis, and apparent kinetic constants were determined. Sigmoidal saturation kinetics were not observed, and various adenylates had no effect on the enzyme. Repression of enzyme synthesis during growth on l-glutamate or Casamino Acids was partially overcome by additions of glucose or pyruvate, and this apparent derepression was totally abolished by inhibitors of ribonucleic acid and protein synthesis. Similarly, additions of l-glutamate or Casamino Acids to cells growing on glucose-ammonium ion resulted in strong repression of enzyme synthesis. It is suggested that the enzyme serves an anabolic role in metabolism. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase activity was not detected in five species of Bacillus, irrespective of nutritional conditions or of the physiological age of cells.
