The extracellular proteinase of Staphylococcus aureus strain V8 was used to digest the NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora crassa. Of 35 non-overlapping peptides expected from the glutamate content of the polypeptide chain, 29 were isolated and substantially sequenced. The sequences obtained were valuable in providing overlaps for the alignment of about two-thirds of the sequences found in tryptic peptides [Wootton, J. C., Taylor, J, G., Jackson, A. A., Chambers, G. K. & Fincham, J. R. S. (1975) Biochem. J. 149, 739-748]. The blocked N-terminal peptide of the protein was isolated. This peptide was sequenced by mass spectrometry, and found to have N-terminal N-acetylserine by Howard R. Morris and Anne Dell, whose results are presented as an Appendix to the main paper. The staphylococcal proteinase showed very high specificity for glutamyl bonds in the NH4HCO3 buffer used. Partial splits of two aspartyl bonds, both Asp-Ile, were probably attributable to the proteinase. No cleavage of glutaminyl or S-carboxymethylcysteinyl bonds was found.

Peptic and chymotryptic peptides were isolated form the NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora crassa and substantially sequenced. Out of 452 residues in the polypeptide chain, 265 were recovered in the peptic and 427 in the chymotryptic peptides. Together with the tryptic peptides [Wootton, J. C., Taylor, J. G., Jackson, A. A., Chambers, G. K. & Fincham, J. R. S. (1975) Biochem. J. 149, 749-755], these establish the complete sequence of the chain, including the acid and amide assignments, except for seven places where overlaps are inadequate. These remaining alignments are deduced from information on the CNBr fragments obtained in another laboratory [Blumenthal, K. M., Moon, K. & Smith, E. L. (1975), J. Biol. Chem. 250, 3644-3654].

In phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, 5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), N-ethylmaleimide or iodoacetamide do not alter the activity of beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase. Iodoacetate, however, inactivities the enzyme irreversibility by alkylation. Combined addition of the coenzyme NADH and the substrate 2-oxoglutarate or the effector GTP protects against this inactivation. The alkylation reaction is independent of pH between pH 6-9 indicating that amino, imidazole or phenolic groups are probably not involved in this reaction. Titration of the thiol groups, after denaturation of the enzyme, revealed the loss of approximately one group per polypeptide chain. However, this is not due to the exclusive alkylation of a cysteine residue, since alkylation with iodo-[2-14C]acetic acid also labels a methionine residue. 50% of the label is incorporated into methionine-169 and only 7% into cysteine-115, the remaining radioactivity is distributed in minor quantities (4%) in several unidentified residues. A probable cause of the erroneous thiol groups titration is discussed.

The neuroleptics chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, triflupromazine and thioridazine seem to effect the aggregation of glutamate dehydrogenase by binding to one single site of the polypeptide chain, possibly the GTP site. This interaction could biologically be of importance for the degree of activity at high enzyme concentrations found in vivo. Amitriptyline and fluorazepam also bind to a specific single site of the polypeptide chain without effecting the aggregation of the oligomers. Because of the rather low affinity of these sites the binding of these drugs in vivo does not seem to cause a concentrating effect in the mitochondria.

The mutant strain am126 was isolated, using the direct selection procedure, after nitrous acid mutagenesis. It produced neither measurable NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) nor immunologically cross-reacting material. That the am126 strain produced some form of GDH product was shown by the fact that it complemented several other am mutant strains. The GDH formed by complementation between am126 and each of two other am mutants was relatively thermolabile, but could not be distinguished from wild-type GDH formed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. This, together with the relatively high yield of the complementation enzymes, suggest that the am126 product is a polypeptide chain not grossly abnormal in structure. The spontaneous revertant frequency was between 0.3 and 3 prototrophic revertants per 10(5) live cells. This frequency was at least 40 times greater than that for am19, which had the second highest spontaneous revertant frequency among the mutants tested. Neither meiosis nor mutagenesis increased the revertant frequency, nor did incubation at elevated temperatures lower it. Sixty-eight revertant strains were examined for thermostability of their GHD. All appeared to be identical to wild type. Seven of the revertant strains were also tested for instability with regard to forward mutation to am auxtrophy. None was found to be unstable. Models for the genetic instability of the am126 mutation are discussed.

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.

The isolation and sequences of several large peptides from cyanogen bromide cleavage of the 1030-residue polypeptide chain of the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora crassa are described. One of these is in the 669-residue sequence of the COOH-terminal end of the protein. The remaining peptides have been aligned in two partial sequences in the NH2-terminal portion of the polypeptide chain.

Neurospora glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-specific) is rapidly inactivated upon reaction with tetranitromethane. This inactivation is completely prevented by the presence of coenzyme (NADP) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) but not by substrate. NADH, or 2'-monophosphoadenosine-5'-diphosphoribose. Amino acid analysis indicates that the primary effect of modification is nitration of a single residue of tyrosine per polypeptide chain. We have identified the reactive tyrosine by isolation of a single, uniquely labeled peptide after hydrolysis with trypsin followed by cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The modified residue proved to be tyrosine-168 in the linear sequence. This residue is not present in the part of the sequence that had been previously implicated as involved in the binding of the adenylate portion of the coenzyme. Both NMN and 2-monophosphoadenosine-5'-diphosphoribose act as competitive inhibitors of NADP in the oxidation of glutamate with Ki values of 4.65 x 10(-4) M and 4.30 x 10(-4) M, respectively. Thus, the specific protection afforded by NADP and NMN, but not by 2'-monophosphoadenosine-5'-diphosphoribose, indicates that tyrosine-168 is involved in binding the nicotinamide portion of the coenzyme.

1. It is shown by limited tryptic digestion of beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase under native conditions that the amino terminus of the polypeptide chain is located at the surface of the molecule. End-group analysis after trypsin treatment yields aspartic acid as the new N-terminal amino acid while the C-terminal threonine remains unchanged. 2. NADH, especially in the presence of 2-oxoglutarate, protects the enzyme against tryptic degradation. In the absence of the coenzyme, glutamate dehydrogenase is rapidly inactivated. 3. The regulatory effects of ADP and GTP are only slightly altered by trypsin. A small shift of the pH dependence of the activation by ADP is observed. 4. The quaternary structure of the unimer of the enzyme is not affected by limited tryptic digestion indicating that the N-terminal part of the polypeptide chain is not located in the contact domains between the polypeptide chains. The association of the hexamer to large associated particles is reduced but not abolished. 5. It is shown by treatment of the enzyme with iodo[2(-14)C]acetic acid as well as with Ellman's reagent that the six - SH groups of the polypeptide chain are buried and not accessible to these reagents in phosphate buffer. In Tris buffer they become exposed and react in the order 89, 55, 197, 115, 270, 319. This together with the result that in Tris buffer the rat of inactivation caused by trypsin is higher than in phosphate buffer indicates that Tris buffer changes drastically the properties of the enzyme. 6. Cross-linking of the enzyme molecule with bifunctional reagents and subsequent dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis shows that the six identical polypeptide chains are arranged in two groups of three. 7. The implications of these results for the tertiary and quaternary structure of beef liver glutamate dehydrogenase are discussed.
