1. The presence of glutamate dehydrogenase in the microsomal fraction of rat liver was confirmed. The identities of mitochondrial and microsomal glutamate dehydrogenases were proved by immunochemical methods and by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified enzymes. 2. Synthesis of glutamate dehydrogenase by the membrane-bound ribosomes of rough endoplasmic reticulum was determined. Newly synthesized enzyme molecules were discharged on the cytoplasmic surface of endoplasmic reticulum membranes. 3. A precursor-product relationship was found between microsomal and mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenases. About six hours were needed for the transport of glutamate dehydrogenase from the site of synthesis to mitochondria. 4. The half-life of glutamate dehydrogenase was about 5.5 days, which was somewhat longer than that of mitochondrial total protein determined in the same experiment. 5. Mitochondrial-type malate dehydrogenase was also present in the microsomal fraction. Subfractionation of smooth microsomes revealed the existence of particular light microsomal vesicles in which both glutamate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase were concentrated. These vesicles may participate in intracellular transport of matrix enzymes from microsomes to mitochondria.

NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase from Dictyostelium discoideum was purified 9300 fold with a yield of 4.6%. The enzyme is a hexamer of apparent molecular weight 294 kDa on Sephacryl S400 and a subunit molecular weight of 52 kDa as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis. The apparent Kms for alpha-ketoglutarate, NADPH and NH4+ are 1.2 mM, 9.7 microM and 2.2 mM respectively, and the purified enzyme has a broad pH optimum with a peak at pH 7.75. GTP has a slight stimulatory effect (22% at 83 microM) as does ADP (11% at 1 mM), and AMP is slightly inhibitory (9% at 1 mM) whereas adenosine, ATP and cAMP have little or no effect. Neither the Zn2+ chelating compound 1,10-phenanthroline nor EDTA have any effect on the enzyme while p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid inhibits enzyme activity (50% at 80 microM) yet N-ethylmaleimide does not. In addition, the NADP-GDH activity varies little during the various stages of morphogenesis.

A 52 kDa protein could only be co-purified with the CoA-modified forms of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase) (EC 2.3.1.9) from rat liver mitochondria. Immunoprecipitations of these modified forms with anti-(acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase) IgG or anti-(52 kDa protein) IgG yielded, in addition to the appropriate proteins, the 52 kDa protein or the CoA-modified form of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (41 kDa) respectively. This was demonstrated by SDS/PAGE and immunoblots. The modified forms containing the 52 kDa protein could be cross-linked by 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene to a high-molecular-mass complex containing both the 41 kDa and 52 kDa proteins. The 52 kDa protein was identified as mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3) by amino acid sequence analysis. The results of co-immunoprecipitation and cross-linking characterize the CoA-modified forms of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase and the glutamate dehydrogenase as nearest-neighbour proteins.

Glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase, deaminating, EC 1.4.1.3.) of the extreme thermophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus was purified to homogeneity by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, anion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on 5'-AMP-Sepharose. The purified native enzyme had a Mr of about 270,000 and was shown to be a hexamer of subunit Mr of 44,000. It was active from 30 to 95 degrees C, with a maximum activity at 85 degrees C. No significant loss of enzyme activity could be detected, either after incubation of the purified enzyme at 90 degrees C for 60 min, or in the presence of 4 M urea or 0.1% SDS. The enzyme was catalytically active with both NADH and NADPH as coenzyme and was specific for 2-oxoglutarate and L-glutamate as substrates. With respect to coenzyme utilization the Sulfolobus solfataricus glutamate dehydrogenase resembled more closely the equivalent enzymes from eukaryotic organisms than those from eubacteria.

The NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) from Dictyostelium discoideum was purified 1101-fold with a yield of 23.4%. The enzyme has an apparent Mr of 356 kDa, determined using Sephacryl S400, and a subunit molecular weight of 54 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Kms for alpha-ketoglutarate, NADH, and NH4+ are 0.36 +/- 0.03 mM, 16.0 +/- 0.1 microM, and 34.5 +/- 2.7 mM, respectively. The purified enzyme has a pH optimum of pH 7.25-7.5. At 0.1 mM, ADP and AMP stimulate GDH activity 25 and 102%, respectively. Half-maximal activity in the presence of 0.1 mM AMP for alpha-ketoglutarate, NADH, and NH4+ is reached at 2.3 +/- 0.1 mM, 71.4 +/- 5.5 microM, and 27.9 +/- 3.6 mM, respectively.

NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) was purified to homogeneity from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 8602 (PAC 1). The Mr determined by Sephadex gel filtration was 280,000; the subunit Mr determined by SDS-PAGE was 45,000. Mutant strains lacking NADP-GDH and glutamate synthase (Gdh-Glt-) required glutamate for growth. Transductants that lacked only NADP-GDH were indistinguishable from the wild-type strain in growth properties. It was concluded that NADP-GDH is not essential for growth of the wild-type organism and that glutamate formation via NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase does not occur to a significant extent. A mutant strain, 39, producing high NADP-GDH activity, synthesized normal NADP-GDH and had the same intracellular glutamate concentrations as its parent. The mutation responsible for the synthesis of high levels of NADP-GDH was shown, by transduction, to be closely linked to the NADP-GDH structural gene (gdhA).

The urease enzyme of Campylobacter pylori was studied and compared with that of a related spiral-shaped bacterium, St1, isolated from the rodent ileum. Both bacteria possessed constitutive urease enzymes with activities up to 20-70 times that of Proteus vulgaris. This activity was retained on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. A major catalytic subunit of mol. wt 300,000 was located for all (six) strains of C. pylori subjected to SDS-PAGE whereas St1 had two active forms of mol. wts 140,000 and 150,000. Western-blot analysis indicated the presence of anti-urease antibodies in the sera of patients with C. pylori-associated gastritis. The response to C. pylori urease was not strain-specific but no cross-reactivity was detected between the C. pylori enzyme and that of St1. The very high urease activity of these bacteria is likely to be important in colonisation of the host. Possession of glutamate dehydrogenase activity by both organisms suggests that one role of the urease may be to assimilate the available urea nitrogen. Modification of the local environment to facilitate long-term colonisation is another possible function. Protection from acid is unlikely to be a primary role as the natural habitat of the organism St1 is the non-acid-secreting tissue of the small intestine.

The NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase from Phycomyces spores was purified more than 300-fold. Estimation of Mr by gel filtration gave a value of 98,000 whereas after SDS-PAGE one major band of Mr 54,000 was found, suggesting that the enzyme is a dimer. The enzyme was virtually dependent on the presence of AMP for activity and showed half-maximal activation at 9.5 and 43 microM-AMP in the direction of animation and deamination respectively. ADP was nearly as effective at 20-fold higher concentrations. Other nucleotide monophosphates were ineffective and nucleoside triphosphates were slightly inhibitory. Hyperbolic kinetics were found for all substrates yielding Km values of about 10 mM for ammonium, 1 mM for 2-oxoglutarate and 0.1 mM for NADH in the direction of amination, and 10 mM for glutamate and 0.7 mM for NAD in the direction of deamination.

Glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating); EC 1.4.1.2) has been purified from Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus in a single step using dye-ligand chromatography. The enzyme (GDH) was present in high yields and was stabilized in crude extracts. A subunit molecular weight of 49000 +/- 500 was determined by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and six bands were obtained after cross-linking the subunits with dimethyl suberimidate. This bacterial GDH was predominantly NAD+-linked, but was able to utilize both NADP+ and NADPH at 4% of the rates with NAD+ and NADH, respectively. An investigation of the amino acid specificity revealed some similarities with GDH from mammalian sources and some clear differences. The values of apparent Km for the substrates ammonia, 2-oxoglutarate, NADH, NAD+ and glutamate were 18.4, 0.82, 0.066, 0.031 and 6 mM, respectively. The P. asaccharolyticus GDH was not regulated by purine nucleotides, but was subject to strong inhibition with increasing ionic strength.

Glutamic dehydrogenase extracted with tris buffer from fresh freeze-thawed rat heart mitochondria was purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation, affinity chromatography on GTP agarose, hydroxyapatite chromatography and concentration using a molecular sieve. The final specific activity is 80 units/mg protein. Thin gel SDS electrophoresis of the purified enzyme preparation after reduction with dithiothreitol shows a major band with a molecular weight of 38 000 Daltons. Two minor bands are also present. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation reveals a molecular weight of 230 000 Daltons for unreduced mitochondrial GDH activity. By gel filtration rat heart mitochondrial glutamic dehydrogenase has a major peak at 230 000 Daltons, a minor peak at 300 000 Daltons and some larger molecular weight species. Rat liver mitochondrial glutamic dehydrogenase has a minor peak at 230 000, a major peak at 300 000 and some larger molecular weight species. The rat liver mitochondrial glutamic dehydrogenase predominance at 300 000 is unchanged by incubation, extraction and purification with rat heart mitochondria. The purified GDH is stable frozen at -10 degrees C in tris-HCl buffer with EDTA. It loses activity at 4 degrees C especially when stored in 0.2 M phosphate buffer. It also loses activity when dialyzed for 24 h. This loss of activity is not completely prevented by adding nucleotides to the buffer (AMP or ADP) but is decreased by their presence.
