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.

The affinity label 8-[(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutyl)thio]adenosine 5'-triphosphate (8-BDB-TA-5'-TP) has been shown to react with bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase in the region of the GTP-dependent NADH inhibitory site with incorporation of about 1 mol of reagent/mol of subunit [Ozturk, D. H., Safer, D., & Colman, R. F. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 7112-7118]. The modified enzyme was shown to contain only 5 free sulfhydryl groups upon 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate) titration as compared with 6 in the unmodified enzyme. In the unmodified enzyme digested with trypsin, 6 cysteinyl peptides were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography upon treatment with iodo [3H]acetic acid. In contrast, only 5 (carboxymethyl)cysteinyl peptides were detected in 8-BDB-TA-5'-TP-modified enzyme. When carboxymethylated modified and unmodified enzymes were digested with thermolysin, 6 peptide sequences containing (carboxymethyl)cysteine were obtained in the unmodified enzyme, but only 5 were observed in the modified enzyme. The (carboxymethyl)cysteine which was absent in the modified enzyme was determined to be Cys-319, leading to the conclusion that 8-BDB-TA-5'-TP reacts with Cys-319, thereby preventing it from subsequent reaction with radioactive iodoacetate. It was previously reported that 6-[(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutyl)thio]-6-deaminoadenosine 5'-diphosphate (6-BDB-TA-5'-DP) modifies Cys-319 in this enzyme [Batra, S. P., & Colman, R. F. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 3508-3515].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase reacts with 8-[(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutyl)thio]adenosine 5'-diphosphate (8-BDB-TA-5'-DP) and 5'-triphosphate (8-BDB-TA-5'-TP) to yield enzyme with about 1 mol of reagent incorporated/mol of enzyme subunit. The modified enzyme is catalytically active but has decreased sensitivity to inhibition by GTP, reduced extent of activation by ADP, and diminished inhibition by high concentrations of NADH. Since modified enzyme, like native glutamate dehydrogenase, reversibly binds more than 1 mol each of ADP and GTP, it is unlikely that 8-BDB-TA-5'-TP reacts directly within either the ADP or GTP regulatory sites. The rate constant for reaction of enzyme exhibits a nonlinear dependence on reagent concentration with KD = 89 microM for 8-BDB-TA-5'-TP and 240 microM for 8-BDB-TA-5'-DP. The ligands ADP and GTP alone and NADH alone produce only small decreases in the rate constant for the reaction of enzyme with 8-BDB-TA-5'-TP, but the combined addition of 5 mM NADH + 200 microM GTP reduces the reaction rate constant more than 10-fold and the reagent incorporation to about 0.1 mol/mol of enzyme subunit. These results suggest that 8-BDB-TA-5'-TP reacts as a nucleotide affinity label in the region of the GTP-dependent NADH regulatory site of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase.

A photoactive coenzyme analog of NAD+ has been synthesized by chemically coupling [32P]2-azido-AMP and NMN to produce [32P]nicotinamide 2-azidoadenosine dinucleotide (2-azido-NAD+). The utility of 2-azido-NAD+ as an effective active-site-directed photoprobe was demonstrated using bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase as a model enzyme. In the absence of ultraviolet light, 2-azido-NAD+ is a substrate for this enzyme. Photoincorporation of probe was saturable with two different apparent dissociation constants of 10 microM and 40 microM. Protection of photoinsertion was seen with the natural substrate NAD+ with apparent dissociation constants of less than 5 microM and 25 microM. This observation may be explained on the basis of negative cooperative interaction between the subunits. The photoinsertion of 2-azido-NAD+ was increased by GTP and decreased by ADP in accordance with their known effects on NAD+ binding. When the enzyme was covalently modified by photolysis in the presence of saturating amounts of photoprobe, an approximately 40% inhibition of the enzyme activity was observed. These results demonstrate that the photoaffinity coenzyme analog has potential application as a probe to characterize NAD(+)-binding proteins and to identify the active sites of these proteins.

Factors affecting the inhibition of ox brain glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) by the antipsychotic drug perphenazine have been studied. Inhibition was found to be of mixed type with respect to 2-oxoglutarate and competitive towards NADH. However, the data indicate that perphenazine binds to a site distinct from the catalytic site to which NADH binds. Perphenazine also enhanced the high-substrate inhibition by these two substrates. Inhibition by perphenazine was not affected by the allosteric effector GTP but it was enhanced by increasing pH, in the range of 6.3 to 7.6, and diminished by increasing ionic strength. Low concentrations of perphenazine relieved the inhibition of GDH by phosphatidylserine and cardiolipin. However, at higher concentrations phosphatidylserine did not interfere with the inhibition by perphenazine whereas cardiolipin relieved it. The possible significance of these interactions in terms of the behaviour of this antipsychotic drug in vivo are discussed.

The effect of nucleotides: AMP, cAMP, ADP, ATP, GDP and GTP, on glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) purified from the mealworm fat body was studied. Guanine nucleotides and ATP inhibited the enzyme strongly in both directions. GDH was partially protected from the inhibition by the addition of ADP to an assay medium. AMP and cAMP activated the enzyme slightly. The concerted effects of ADP and ATP indicate the importance of adenylate energy charge in the regulation of fat body GDH. It is suggested that GDH may play amphibolic role in the fat body and that the direction of GDH catalysed reaction is under strong influence of nucleotides. The enzyme may synthesize glutamate at high energy charge, but when the energy reserves are low, it oxidizes glutamate.

Changes in conformation of glutamate dehydrogenase from beef liver as a result of interactions with allosteric effectors have been demonstrated from the phosphorescence emission of tryptophan. The triplet state lifetime shows that whereas activators ADP and L-leucine enhance considerably the rigidity of the protein structure surrounding the chromophore, inhibitors GTP, Zn2+ and Ag+ act in an opposite manner increasing the flexibility of this region of the macromolecule. Such changes in dynamical structure of the protein are confirmed independently for the ADP and GTP complexes by oxygen diffusion studies. Phosphorescence lifetime measurements at various protein concentrations and with the enzyme crosslinked by glutaraldehyde demonstrate that ADP and GTP exert the same effect on the structure of the protein regardless of its degree of polymerization. The connection between changes in protein structure and regulatory function is strengthened by the finding that (1) ligands with no regulatory function (Eu3+) do not affect protein structure; (2) pairs of opposite effectors which neutralize each other's influence on catalytic activity do restore an apparent native-like structure in the enzyme. Mutual neutralization and the observation that ADP and GTP display maximum activity at partial saturation of the binding sites has been interpreted in terms of a model which assumes asymmetry in the hexameric enzyme at the trimer level. Evidence for the existence of conformational heterogeneity among the subunits of the enzyme has been provided.

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.

We have found previously (Fahien, L.A., Kmiotek, E.H., MacDonald, M. J., Fibich, B., and Mandic, M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 10687-10697) that glutamate-malate oxidation can be enhanced by cooperative binding of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase and malate dehydrogenase to the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The present results demonstrate that glutamate dehydrogenase, which forms binary complexes with these enzymes, adds to this ternary complex and thereby increases binding of the other enzymes. Kinetic evidence for direct transfer of alpha-ketoglutarate and NADH, within these complexes, has been obtained by measuring steady-state rates of E2 when most of the substrate or coenzyme is bound to the aminotransferase or glutamate dehydrogenase (E1). Rates significantly greater than those which can be accounted for by the concentration of free ligand, calculated from the measured values of the E1-ligand dissociation constants, require that the E1-ligand complex serve as a substrate for E2 (Srivastava, D. K., and Bernhard, S. A. (1986) Curr. Tops. Cell Regul. 28, 1-68). By this criterion, NADH is transferred directly from glutamate dehydrogenase to malate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate is channeled from the aminotransferase to both glutamate dehydrogenase and the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Similar evidence indicates that GTP bound to an allosteric site on glutamate dehydrogenase functions as a substrate for succinic thiokinase. The potential physiological advantages to channeling of activators and inhibitors as well as substrates within multienzyme complexes organized around the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex are discussed.

The fluorescence and phosphorescence properties of the tryptophan residues in glutamate dehydrogenase were utilized to probe the conformation of the macromolecule at various states of aggregation of its subunits (hexamer, trimer, and monomer) in guanidine hydrochloride. According to the phosphorescence lifetime no gross alteration in the conformation of the protein follows from complete dissociation of the hexamer into native monomer, implying that the native fold is stabilized exclusively by intrasubunit bonding. Although modest concentrations of denaturant induce a change in configuration in the enzyme, a comparison with the macromolecule cross-linked into the hexameric form by glutaraldehyde confirms that this alteration in structure is not the result of subunit dissociation. Inhibition of catalysis by the denaturant is found to be considerably smaller than anticipated from the extent of hexamer dissociation. Furthermore, this inhibition is in no way prevented by cross-linking the enzyme in its hexameric form. This finding together with the ability of the trimer to bind the coenzyme and to undergo the characteristic structural changes induced by the effectors ADP and GTP suggests that, contrary to what is generally believed, the smallest functional unit of glutamate dehydrogenase is not the hexameric form.
