The vinylogue of NAD, 3-pyridylacryloamide adenine dinucleotide, was prepared from NAD and 3-pyridylacryloamide through the snake venom NADase-catalyzed transglycosidation reaction. The analog, purified by ion-exchange chromatography, was obtained in a 55% yield. The cyanide adduct and reduced form of the analog exhibited absorbance maxima at 358 nm and 378 nm, respectively, with extinction coefficients in each case being 2.3-times higher than those reported for the corresponding NAD derivatives. 3-Pyridylacryloamide adenine dinucleotide served as a coenzyme with bovine liver glutamic dehydrogenase and to a lesser extent with malate and lactate dehydrogenases. The analog was not reduced in reactions catalyzed by yeast and horse liver alcohol dehydrogenases, sheep liver sorbitol dehydrogenase, and rabbit muscle glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. Substitution of the pyridylacryloamide analogs for NAD and NADH in the assay of substrates for glutamic dehydrogenase was demonstrated.

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.

An NAD(P)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus. The enzyme is a hexamer (subunit mass 45 kDa) which dissociates into lower states of association when submitted to gel filtration. Isoelectric focusing analysis of the purified enzyme showed a pI of 5.7 and occasionally revealed microheterogeneity. The enzyme is strictly specific for the natural substrates 2-oxoglutarate and L-glutamate, but is active with both NADH and NADPH. S. solfataricus glutamate dehydrogenase revealed a high degree of thermal stability (at 80 C the half-life was 15 h) which was strictly dependent on the protein concentration. Very high levels of glutamate dehydrogenase were found in this archaebacterium which suggests that the conversion of 2-oxoglutarate and ammonia to glutamate is of central importance to the nitrogen metabolism in this bacterium.

The unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 presents a hexameric NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase with a molecular mass of 295 kDa. The enzyme differs from the NADP-glutamate dehydrogenase found in the same strain and is coded by a different gene. NAD-glutamate dehydrogenase shows a high coenzyme specificity, catalyzes preferentially glutamate formation and presents Km values for ammonium, NADH and 2-oxoglutarate of 4.5 mM, 50 microM and 1.8 mM respectively. An animating role for the enzyme is discussed.

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.

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the biochemical changes in the myocardial cell using cardioplegia supplemented with creatine phosphate (CP). Many previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of CP on the ischemic myocardium and its mechanism of action has been assumed to be mainly extracellular. Based on the assumption that CP could also exert some influence on myocardial cellular metabolism, this investigation was carried out. Forty patients undergoing mitral valve replacement were divided into two groups: group 1 was treated with standard cardioplegic solution, and group 2 was treated with cardioplegic solution enriched with CP at a concentration of 10 mmol/L. Samples of papillary muscle, obtained from the removed valve, were studied by means of biochemical methods in order to assess the enzyme activities and the metabolites of the different biochemical pathways related to energy metabolism in the myocardial cell. One papillary muscle sample was used to determine enzyme activities spectrophotometrically; another was used to evaluate metabolite concentrations by spectrophotometric or spectrophotofluorimetric methods. The rate of spontaneous functional recovery after rewarming and weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) also was evaluated. In group 2, the Vmax of enzymatic activities was significantly greater (hexokinase, malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, total NADH cytochrome c reductase) and a better functional state of the heart was observed after CPB. On the basis of the clinical and biochemical data, it is concluded that the myocardium was better preserved when CP was added to the cardioplegic solution. Therefore, the results suggest a possible interaction of exogenous CP with cellular metabolism.

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.

Sensitive flow-injection analyses of aspartate, glutamate, 2-oxoglutarate, and oxaloacetate were developed. The analytes were enzymatically coupled with NADH which was monitored by light emission from immobilized bacterial bioluminescence enzymes. Aspartate (or oxaloacetate) was assayed on the basis of NADH consumption by introducing the sample through a coimmobilized aspartate aminotransferase-malate dehydrogenase column. The assay responded linearly from 100 pmoles to 5 nmoles per assay. Glutamate (2-oxoglutarate) was determined by formation of NADH in the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction. The measuring range for glutamate was from 10 pmoles to 100 nmoles per assay. The precision of the flow-injection method was generally excellent, and the sensitivities of the described assays were 100-1000-fold higher than with spectrophotometric methods. The immobilized enzyme preparations were stable for several months in storage, and the enzyme columns could be used for 600-800 analyses. Flow-injection analyses of amino acids and related compounds by NADH/bioluminescence-coupled reactions provide a sensitive, fast, and inexpensive assay method for a wide variety of purposes.

5-Ethylphenazine-poly(ethylene glycol)-glutamate dehydrogenase conjugate (EP(+)-PEG-GluDH) was prepared by linking poly(ethylene glycol)-bound 5-ethylphenazine to glutamate dehydrogenase. The average number of the ethylphenazine moieties bound/enzyme subunit was 0.7. This conjugate is a semisynthetic enzyme having NADH oxidase activity; the ethylphenazine moiety works as a catalytic group, and the coenzyme-binding site of glutamate dehydrogenase works as a substrate-binding site. The effects of the presence of the substrate-binding site near the catalytic group were studied by using EP(+)-PEG-GluDH. Before the preparation of the conjugate, the reactivity of NADH bound in the coenzyme-binding site toward the ethylphenazine moiety was estimated for glutamate and lactate dehydrogenases. The results show that the NADH molecule bound in the site of glutamate dehydrogenase reacts with EP(+)-PEG at a rate of 43% of that of free NADH, but the NADH molecule bound in lactate dehydrogenase does not react with 1-(3-carboxypropyloxy)-5- ethylphenazine. Therefore, glutamate dehydrogenase was used as the substrate-binding site of the semisynthetic NADH oxidase. The results of the kinetic analysis of the activity of EP(+)-PEG-GluDH show that the apparent turnover number of the active site is 0.38 s-1, which corresponds to the apparent intramolecular rate constant of the oxidation of NADH bound in the active site. The apparent effective concentration of bound NADH for the catalytic group of the ethylphenazine moiety is 0.33 mM. This means that the presence of the substrate-binding site near the catalytic group increases the local NADH concentration by at most 0.33 mM, and this is the rate-accelerating effect of the binding site.

Microfluorometry was used to investigate distribution of hypoxia-induced release of glutamate. Mongolian gerbil hippocampal slice was perfused in a medium containing glutamate dehydrogenase and NAD+. Release of glutamate into extracellular space caused an increase in fluorescence due to the formation of NADH. The hypoxia-induced release of glutamate was gradually increased throughout the slice: no significant difference was detected among CA1 region, CA3 region and the dentate gyrus.
