The reaction of glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamate (gl) with NAD+ and NADP+ has been studied with stopped-flow techniques. The enzyme was in all experiments present in excess of the coenzyme. The results indicate that the ternary complex (E-NAD(P)H-kg) is present as an intermediate in the formation of the stable complex (E-NAD(P)H-gl). The identification of the complexes is based on their absorption spectra. The binding of the coenzyme to (E-gl) is the rate-limiting step in the formation of (E-NAD(P)H-kg) while the dissociation of alpha-ketoglutarate (kg) from this complex is the rate-limiting step in the formation of (E-NAD(P)H-gl). The Km for glutamate was 20-25 mM in the first reaction and 3 mM in the formation of the stable complex. The Km values were independent of the coenzyme. The reaction rates with NAD+ were approximately 50% greater than those with NADP+. Furthermore, high glutamate concentration inhibited the formation of (E-NADH-kg) while no substrate inhibition was found with NADP+ as coenzyme. ADP enhanced while GTP reduced the rate of (E-NAD(P)H-gl) formation. The rate of formation of (E-NAD(P)H-kg) was inhibited by ADP, while it increased at high glutamate concentration when small amounts of GTP were added. The results show that the higher activity found with NAD+ compared to NADP+ under steady-state assay conditions do not necessarily involve binding of NAD+ to the ADP activating site of the enzyme. Moreover, the substrate inhibition found at high glutamate concentration under steady-state assay condition is not due to the formation of (E-NAD(P)H-gl) as this complex is formed with Km of 3 mM glutamate, and the substrate inhibition is only significant at 20-30 times this concentration.

1. The activities of citrate synthase and NAD+-linked and NADP+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases were measured in nervous tissue from different animals in an attempt to provide more information about the citric acid cycle in this tissue. In higher animals the activities of citrate synthase are greater than the sum of activities of the isocitrate dehydrogenases, whereas they are similar in nervous tissues from the lower animals. This suggests that in higher animals the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction is far-removed from equilibrium. If it is assumed that isocitrate dehydrogenase activities provide an indication of the maximum flux through the citric acid cycle, the maximum glycolytic capacity in nervous tissue is considerably greater than that of the cycle. This suggest that glycolysis can provide energy in excess of the aerobic capacity of the tissue. 2. The activities of glutamate dehydrogenase are high in most nervous tissues and the activities of aspartate aminotransferase are high in all nervous tissue investigated. However, the activities of alanine aminotransferase are low in all tissues except the ganglia of the waterbug and cockroach. In these insect tissues, anaerobic glycolysis may result in the formation of alanine rather than lactate.

The kinetic properties of the constitutive double specific glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)--GDH) and the inducible NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP--GDH) of Chlorella pyrenoidosa Pringsheim 82T (thermophilic strain) in a deaminating reaction have been studied. NAD(P)-GDH behaves in a deamination as a Michaelis-Menten enzyme. NADP-GDH displays some lag-period before a steady-state phase. The duration of this lag depends on a substrate concentration. Besides that, an effect of all the substrates on a heat inactivation of both GDH and a product inhibition have been studied. All the substrates except the reduced co-factors protect effectively GDH from the heat inactivation, especially the thermolabille NADP-GDH. On the contrary, NAD(P)-H promote the heat inactivation of both GDH. The product inhibition analysis shows that the inducible NADP-GDH acts in vivo as a synthetic enzyme. In the previous paper (V. R. Shatilov et all., 1974, Dokl. Acad. Nauk USSR, 216,223) it was shown for the constitutive GDH that p-CMB strongly inhibited a desamination and slightly (if any) affect an amination. It this paper it is shown that action of p-CMB on the amination depends on the presence of NAD+ (not NADP+ or L-glutamate). p-CMB and NAD+ affect tha amination in a strongly sunergetic manner. Some suggestions about the intracellular localization of chlorella GDH are made.

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.

The NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4) of Neurospora crassa is inhibited by reaction with 1,2-cyclohexanedione which binds to arginine residues. With the 14C-labeled reagent, a peptide was isolated with the sequence: Gly-Gly-Leu-Arg-Leu-His-Pro-Ser-Val-Asn-Leu, corresponding to residues 78 through 88 in the protein. The arginine, residue 81, was present as N7,N8-(1,2-dihydroxycyclohex-1,2-ylene)-arginyl (or DHCH-arginine). Present evidence indicates that this arginine residue resides at or near the nicotinamide binding domain of the enzyme. Similar sequences are present in the bovine liver enzyme (EC 1.4.1.3) and the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora (EC 1.4.1.2).

Kinetic analyses done with cell-free extracts of this basidiomycete fungus showed that the NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase exhibited positively co-operative interactions with the substrates 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH, negatively co-operative kinetics with NADP+ and was extremely sensitive to inhibition of deamination activity by ammonium and/or ammonia. The NAD-linked enzyme showed positive co-operativity with NADH, Michaelis-Menten kinetics with all other substrates and was subject only to mild inhibitions by the reaction products. Considered together with the values of the Michaelis constants, these results indicate that the former enzyme is primarily concerned with the amination of 2-oxoglutarate when the concentration of this substrate exceeds about 4 mM, while the NAD-linked enzyme is able to aminate or deaminate as metabolic conditions require. Synthesis of both enzymes was repressed by addition of carbamyl phosphate or N-acetyl-glutamate to mycelial cultures growing in media containing glucose and ammonium as carbon and nitrogen sources. Growth in media containing urea results in repression of the NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase and derepression of the NAD-linked enzyme. Such results indicate a connexion between the glutamate dehydrogenases and the urea cycle. It is suggested that under normal conditions of growth on complex media nitrogen is assimilated in the form of amino acids and that the glutamate dehydrogenases act in support of transaminases to allow this process to continue, and in support of the urea cycle to allow the disposal of excess nitrogen.

Bacillus subtilis PCI 219 has a single glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) [EC 1.4.1.3] with dual coenzyme specificity [for NAD(H) and NADP(H)]. The enzyme was purified 800-fold from crude extracts of B. subtilis from the post-exponential phase of growth and showed one significant protein band on gel electrophoresis. This band was determined, by activity staining, to have all the GDH nucleotide specificities. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 250,000+/-20,000 by gel filtration, and 270,000+/-30,000 by zone centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate showed that GDH has a subunit size of about 57,000. The pI of GDH was found to bepH 3.7 by isoelectric focusing. GDH exhibited nonlinear kinetics in the reduction of NAD+, and in the reverse direction, the substrate, NH4+, was strongly inhibitory at high concentrations. Purine nucleotides did not affect the activity. The oxidative demination of glutamate was significantly inhibited by the metabolites oxaloacetate and citrate, which acted as allosteric effectors of this enzyme,inhibiting the reaction in one direction. The pH optimum of each of the activities of GDH and the stability of GDH are also reported.

A sequence is presented for the COOH-terminal 669 residues of the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora crassa. Comparison of this sequence with those of the vertebrate glutamate dehydrogenases of chicken and bovine liver and with the NADP-specific enzyme of Neurospora shows some similarities in sequences around residues previously identified as important for the function of these enzymes. These are: (a) the reactive lysine residue of low pK in the NADP and the vertebrate enzymes; (b) the tyrosine residue of the NADP enzyme that is readily nitrated by tetranitromethane with inactivation, a residue protected by NADP or by NMN; and (c) the arginine residue of the NADP-enzyme that is reactive with 1,2-cyclohexanedione with inactivation. Despite these similarities, comparison of the sequence of the NAD-enzyme with those of the other glutamate dehydrogenases of known sequences revealed relatively little overall homology as determined by computer analysis.

The constitution and control by the inorganic nitrogen source of glutamate dehydrogenases of some unicellular green algae have been studied. The Ankistrodesmus braunii and Scenedesmus obliquus cells contain two different glutamate dehydrogenases, one of which is NADP-specific, the other is active with both NAD and NADP. Their synthesis does not depend on the nitrogen source. The activity of NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase increases sharply during nitrogen starvation. In Chlorella pyrenoidosa 82 and Ch. ellipsoidea only one constitutive double specific glutamate dehydrogenase is observed. Its activity does not change depending on the nitrogen nutrition conditions. In the cells of the thermophylic Chlorella strain Chlorella sp. K. ammomium induces a de novo synthesis of NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase in addition to the constitutive double specific glutamate dehydrogenase. Thus, the algae tested contain constitutive double specific glutamate dehydrogenase. The NADP-specific enzyme is absent in two Chlorella strains, is constitutive in A. braunii and S. obliquus, and is ammonium-inducible in three thermophylic Chlorella strains.
