Ten mutants of Aspergillus nidulans lacking nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD-GDH) have been isolated, and their mutations (gdhB1 through gdhB10) have been shown to lie in the gdhB gene. In addition, a temperature-sensitive gdhB mutant (gdhB11) has been isolated. A revertant (designated R-5) of the mutant gdhB1 bears an additional lesion in the gdhB gene and has altered NAD-GDH activity with altered Km values for ammonia or ammonium ions and for alpha-ketoglutarate. These results suggest that gdhB specifies a structural component for NAD-GDH. The growth characteristics of gdhB mutants indicate the routes by which amino acids are utilized as nitrogen and carbon energy sources. The properties are described of the double mutants bearing the mutations gdhB1 and gdhA1 or tamA119, which have low NADP-GDH activity.

Parts of the primary structure of the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase [L-glutamate:NAD oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.2] from Neurospora crassa are presented. Segments of the sequence representing 886 unique amino-acid residues have been determined; the largest contains 267 residues. There are only short regions of possible homology between this enzyme and the glutamate dehydrogenases of bovine liver or the NADP-specific enzyme of Neurospora. The large size of the subunit (116,000 molecular weight) of the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase is unusual when compared to other known dehydrogenases.

Folates and tetrahydrofolates inhibit beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2). Double reciprocal plats indicate a competitive inhibition for alpha-ketoglutarate-glutamate by folic acid and methotrexate and a complex or mixed type for NAD-NADH site. Pteroic acid is not inhibitory at the concentrations studied. The addition of up to four gamma-linked glutamyl residues to folic and tetrahydrofolic acids increases the inhibition. Further chain elongation of the gamma-peptide had no effect on the inhibitory activity. The p-aminobenzoate poly-gamma-glutamates were less inhibitory than the corresponding folyl polyglutamates.

The effects of phthalate esters on the oxidation of succinate, glutamate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and NADH by rat liver mitochondria were examined and it was found that di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) strongly inhibited the succinate oxidation by intact and sonicated rat mitochondria, but did not inhibit the State 4 respiration with NAD-linked substrates such as glutamate and beta-hydroxybutyrate. However, oxygen uptake accelerated by the presence of ADP and substrate (State 3) was inhibited and the rate of oxygen uptake decreased to that without ADP (State 4). It was concluded that phthalate esters were electron and energy transport inhibitors but not uncouplers. Phthalate esters also inhibited NADH oxidation by sonicated mitochondria. The degree of inhibition depended on the carbon number of alkyl groups of phthalate esters, and DBP was the most potent inhibitor of respiration. The activity of purified beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.3] was slightly inhibited by phthalate esters.

Glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2-4) has been purified and crystallized from the acetone powder of tuna liver. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 333 000 +/- 15 000 as evaluated by sedimentation equilibrium and constists of six identical subunits. Unlike the bovine enzyme the molecular weight does not increase with increasing protein concentration indicating that the tuna enzyme has no tendency to polymerize. The amino acid composition and peptide maps of the tuna and bovine liver enzyme are similar, suggesting considerable homology between the two enzymes. Furthermore, from the tryptic digest a hexadecapeptide containing a lysine residue reactive to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate exhibits the same composition and sequence as the peptide containing the reactive lysine-126 in the sequence of the bovine enzyme. The molecular activity is 25 and 510 mol of substrate per mol enzyme per s, respectively, for the glutamate oxidation and the alpha-ketoglutarate reduction with NAD or NADP as coenzymes. The enzyme is regulated by pyridine nucleotides like other vertebrate enzymes, but it also exhibits some coenzyme specificity, the activity being about fifteen times higher with NAD than with NADP.

1)The time course of changes in concentration of renal metabolites in response to a non-toxic load of NH4 as NH4 Cl or NH4HCO3 were measured in fasted rats. 2) Following a NH4Cl load, decrease of renal concentration of 2-oxoglutarate occurs but this change is delayed in relation to the peak of the blood ammonia concentration and persists after disappearance of the hyperammoniemia. 3) Following a NH4HCO3 load, the oxoglutarate concentration changes are less marked and more transient. 4) No close relationship between the mitochondrial free NAD/NADH ratio calculated from the glutamate dehydrogenase and the 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase systems were seen during alteration of the ammonia concentration. 5) Contrary to the observations in the liver under similar circumstances (BROSNAN, J.T. et al.: Biochem.J. 138, 453, 1974), no increase in kidney tissue or renal venous blood alanine or aspartate concentration are seen. 6) A constant infusion of NH4HCO3 resulted only in an increase in tissue and renal venous blood glutamine concentration. 7) The infusion of NH4 together with a carbon source (malate) resulted in a similar increase in tissue glutamine concentration and more striking increase in renal venous glutamine concentration. No accumulation of aspartate nor alanine were seen. 8) In vitro studies indicate that the net flux through both the aspartate aminotransferase and the glutamate dehydrogenase reactions is dependent on the concentration of the reactants as expected for a near-equilibrium system. 9) It is concluded that the kidney response to an ammonia load differs from that of the liver despite the existence of a similar network of near-equilibrium reactions of (1) a lack of local availability of oxaloacetate, (2) a lower activity of alanine aminotransferase, (3) a greater in vivo activity of glutamine synthetase.

The levels of several enzymes have been studied during sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisia. The specific activities of ribonuclease and aminopeptidase I raised several-fold after transfer of the cells to sporulation medium, whereas the specific activities of phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, tryptophan synthase and pyruvate decarboxylase were not significantly altered. The specific activities of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase, malate dehydrogenase and fructose bisphosphatase all decreased from the onset of sporulation. The inactivation of these latter enzymes was inhibited by cycloheximide and by inhibitors of energy metabolism. Hexokinase, alcohol dehydrogenase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase were partially lost from the cells during the period of ascus maturation. None of the enzyme changes observed proved to be 'sporulation-specific' in that it occurred exclusively in sporulating diploid yeast cells. Therefore it is postulated that the meiotic events and the metabolic changes required for ascospore formation are under separate genetic control in this organism. During sporulation, the cellular content of cytochromes b, c, and aa3 was reduced to 20% or less of that present in vegetative derepressed cells. Since the relative percentage of total to cycloheximide-insensitive mitochondrial protein synthesis was not significantly altered throughout sporulation, and the pattern of mitochondrially synthesized polypeptides was rather similar both in vegetative and in sporulating cells, it appeared that not only degradation but also synthesis and therefore turnover of the mitochondrially coded polypeptides of cytochromes b and aa3 took place during sporulation. The activity ratio of cytochrome c oxidase to F1-ATPase in submitochondrial particles isolated from vegetative cells and from purified asci was almost identical. This indicates that the loss of membrane-bound mitochondrial cytochromes during sporulation is probably due to a nonselective degradation of inner mitochondrial membrane proteins.

The multiplicity of NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was studied in the liver and femoral muscle of 30, 60 and 108 days old pig embryos by the method of discelectrophoresis in polyacrilamide gel. The GDH was shown to be presented in the tissues under study by 3--4 multiple molecular forms. Specific ratios of the multiple GDH forms were established in the tissues under study at different stages of embryogenesis.

The 1030-residue polypeptide chain of the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora crassa was fragmented by treatment with cyanogen bromide. The isolation and sequences of 18 fragments ranging in size from 4 to 51 residues are described. Some of these peptides proved to be cleavage products resulting from hydrolysis at acid-sensitive aspartyl-prolyl bonds. Some overlaps could be deduced on the basis of known sequences of peptides obtained by tryptic hydrolysis.
