Membrane vesicles isolated from Escherichia coli ML 308--225 have been analyzed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and immunoprecipitates corresponding to the following cellular components have been identified: ATPase (EC 3.6.1,3), two or three NADH dehydrogenases (EC 1.6.99.3), D-lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4), dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.3.1), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43), polynucleotide phosphorylase (EC 2.3.7.8), beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23), lipopolysaccharide, and Braun's lipoprotein. The cellular origin of many of the vesicle immunogens is determined, and Braun's lipoprotein is used as a marker to quantitate the extent of outer membrane contamination (less than 3%). Membrane antigens are also characterized with regard to their amphiphilic or hydrophilic properties by charge-shift crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Furthermore, the following immunogens cross-react with components in membrane vesicles prepared from Salmonella typhimurium: one of the three NADH dehydrogenases, ATPase, polynucleotide phosphorylase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, Braun's lipoprotein, and three unidentified antigens. In the accompanying paper [Owen, P., & Kaback, H. R. (1979) Biochemistry 18 (following paper in this issue)] quantitative immunoadsorption is utilized to establish the topology of the vesicles with respect to the distribution of antigens on the inner and outer faces of the membrane.

The activities of twelve enzymes were measured in crude extracts from cells of Escherichia coli K-10 grown aerobically or anaerobically in a defined medium in the presence or absence of nitrate. The activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase, aconitate hydratase, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, and D-lactate dehydrogenase (NAD+-independent) were found to be higher in cells grown in nitrate respiration than in those in fermentation, but lower than in those in respiration. This finding may explain the incomplete oxidation in nitrate respiration and, on the other hand, suggests the operation of the tricarboxylic acid even under these conditions. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase in relation to the formation of fermentation product were as high in cells grown in fermentation as in those in respiration and were low in those in nitrate respiration. However, that ratio of the activities in the latter case to the activities in respiration was the same as the ratio for most enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The level of lactate dehydrogenase (NAD+-dependent) was not affected by nitrate respiration but its activity in the extract was inhibited by nitrate and nitrite. The absence of lactate in the anaerobic culture with nitrate may be due to this inhibition as well as NADH oxidation by nitrate. Levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase were not altered by the growth conditions and that of pyruvate dehydrogenase was low only in cells grown in fermentation.

The metabolic pathways of glucose were studied by histochemical reactions in some species of gastropods living in different habitats. The glycolytic pathway is histochemically indicated by positive results for glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, fructose-1,6-biphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and D-lactate dehydrogenase. The enzymes of the Krebs cycle gave different responses: isocitrate dehydrogenase and L-malate dehydrogenase were positive, whilst succinate dehydrogenase was constantly negative. Malate synthetase activity was also demonstrated. Despite L-glutamate dehydrogenase is undetectable, the presence of transaminase indicates the gluconeogenetic route. Phosphoglucomutase and glucose-6-phosphate phosphatase appear also positive. The metabolic meaning of our results were discussed.

Hydroxyacid dehydrogenases are responsible for the conversion of 2-keto acids to 2-hydroxyacids and have a wide range of biotechnological applications. In this study, a D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) from a Sporolactobacillus inulinus strain was experimentally verified to have both the D-LDH and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities (reversible deamination). The catalytic mechanism was demonstrated by identification of key residues from the crystal structure analysis and site-directed mutagenesis. The Arg234 and Gly79 residues of this enzyme play a significant role in both D-LDH and GDH activities. His295 and Phe298 in DLDH744 were identified to be key residues for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity only whereas Tyr101 is a unique residue that is critical for GDH activity. Characterization of the biochemical properties contributes to understanding of the catalytic mechanism of this novel D-lactate dehydrogenase enzyme.
