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.

1. Mitochondria isolated from porcine adrenal cortex under State 3 conditions oxidized succinate with a rate of 47 +/- 4.48 na oxygen/min/mg/protein and with ADP:O ratio 0.98 +/- 0.09. In the presence of 15 microM deoxycorticosterone the rate of succinate oxidation was 36.8 +/- 3.08 na oxygen/min/mg/protein. 2. Under the same conditions the rate of glutamate oxidation was 22.8 +/- 2.21 and 16.8 +/- 0.65 na oxygen/min/mg/protein, respectively. ADP:O ratio was 1.45 +/- 0.14. 3. Introduction of trace amounts of malate into the mitochondria oxidizing glutamate only slightly increased the rate of O2 uptake. 4.

The dissociation constant for the complex of rhodanese and Cibacron Blue, determined by analytical affinity chromatography using rhodanese immobilized on controlled-pore glass (CPG) beads (200 nm pore diameter) and aminohexyl-Cibacron Blue, was 44 microM which agreed well with the kinetic inhibition constant, suggesting that the dye binds at or near the active site of this enzyme. Formation of a binary complex of the dye and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was also characterized by direct chromatography of LDH on CPG/immobilized Cibacron Blue (KD = 0.29 microM). The binary complex formed between LDH and NADH was characterized by analytical affinity chromatography using both CPG/immobilized LDH and immobilized Cibacron Blue. Since the dye competes with NADH in binding to the active site of LDH, competitive elution chromatography using the immobilized dye allows determination of the dissociation constant of the soluble LDH.NADH complex. Agreement between the dissociation constants determined by direct chromatography of NADH on immobilized LDH (KD = 1.4 microM) and that determined for the soluble complex (KD = 2.4 microM) indicates that immobilization of LDH did not affect the interaction. Formation of various binary, ternary and quaternary complexes of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) with glutamate, NADPH, NADH, and ADP was also investigated using immobilized GDH. This approach allows characterization of the enzyme/ligand interactions without the complicating effect of enzyme self-association. The affinity for NADPH is considerably greater in the ternary complex (including glutamate) as compared to the binary complex (0.38 microM vs 22 microM); however, occupancy of the regulatory site by ADP greatly reduces the affinity in both complexes (6.4 microM and 43 microM, respectively).(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.

1. On transferring Clostridium symbiosum glutamate dehydrogenase from pH 7 to assay mixtures at pH 8.8, reaction time courses showed a marked deceleration that was not attributable to the approach to equilibrium of the catalysed reaction. The rate became approximately constant after declining to 4-5% of the initial value. Enzyme, stored at pH 8.8 and assayed in the same mixture, gave an accelerating time course with the same final linear rate. The enzyme appears to be reversibly converted from a high-activity form at low pH to a low-activity form at high pH. 2. Re-activation at 31 degrees C upon dilution from pH 8.8 to pH 7 was followed by periodic assay of the diluted enzyme solution. At low ionic strength (5 mM-Tris/HCl), no re-activation occurred, but various salts promoted re-activation to a limiting rate, with full re-activation in 40 min. 3. Re-activation was very temperature-dependent and extremely slow at 4 degrees C, suggesting a large activation energy. 4. 2-Oxoglutarate, glutarate or succinate (10 mM) accelerated re-activation; L-glutamate and L-aspartate were much less effective. 5. The monocarboxylic amino acids alanine and norvaline appear to stabilize the inactive enzyme: 60 mM-alanine does not promote re-activation, and, as substrates at pH 8.8 for enzyme stored at pH 7, alanine and norvaline give progress curves showing rapid complete inactivation. 6. Mono- and di-nucleotides (AMP, ADP, ATP, NAD+, NADH, NADP+, CoA, acetyl-CoA) at low concentrations (10(-4)-10(-3) M) enhance re-activation at pH 7 and also retard inactivation at pH 8.8. 7. The re-activation rate is independent of enzyme concentration: ultracentrifuge experiments show no changes in molecular mass with or without substrates. 8. The activation-inactivation appears to be due to a slow pH-dependent conformational change that is sensitively responsive to the reactants and their analogues.

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.

Bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase is known to bind reduced coenzyme at two sites/subunit, one catalytic and one regulatory; ADP competes for the latter site. The enzyme is here shown to be catalytically active with the thionicotinamide analogue of NADPH [( S]NADPH). For native enzyme, ultrafiltration studies revealed that [S]NADPH reversibly occupies about two sites/enzyme subunit in the absence of other ligands; by the addition of ADP, [S]NADPH binding can be limited to one molecule/subunit. The enzyme is irreversibly inactivated by reaction with 4-(iodoacetamido)salicylic acid (ISA) at lysine126 within the 2-oxoglutarate binding site [Holbrook, J.J., Roberts, P.A. & Wallis, R.B. (1973) Biochem. J. 133, 165-171]. ISA-modified enzyme binds 1 molecule [S]NADPH/subunit in the absence of ADP, suggesting that reaction at the substrate site blocks binding at the catalytic, but not at the regulatory site. The fluorescence spectrum of ISA-modified enzyme overlaps the absorption spectrum of [S]NADPH allowing a distance measurement between these sites by resonance energy transfer. [S]NADPH quenches the emission of ISA-modified enzyme, yielding 3.2 nm as the average distance between sites. ADP competes for the [S]NADPH site but does not affect the fluorescence of ISA-modified enzyme, indicating that [S]NADPH quenching is attributable to energy transfer rather than to a conformational change. The 3.2 nm thus represents the distance between the 2-oxoglutarate and reduced coenzyme regulatory sites of glutamate dehydrogenase.

An incubation medium was established for the microphotometric demonstration of glutamate dehydrogenase (Gldh) in cryostat sections of the rat hippocampus which served as an exemplary brain region. The final incubation medium consisted of 100 mM L-glutamic acid monosodium salt, 5 mM NAD, 10 mM sodium azide (NaN3), 5 mM ADP, 20 mM sodium chloride, 0.15 mM phenazine methosulfate (PMS), 5 mM nitroblue tetrazolium chloride and 22% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in 0.05 M Hepes buffer; the final pH was 7.5. The study showed that in the histochemical demonstration of Gldh the use of relatively high PVA concentrations were necessary to avoid diffusion artefacts because Gldh seems to be only loosely bound to the mitochondrial matrix. The use of NaN3 as a blocker of the respiratory chain was indispensible, because without NaN3 most reduction equivalents were lost through the respiratory chain. With PMS as an exogenous electron carrier, the demonstrable Gldh activities increased significantly indicating that, in the case of Gldh, the endogenous NADH tetrazolium reductase was not sufficiently effective. Furthermore, it was shown that Gldh was affected by many small molecules (e.g. activation by sodium ions, inhibition by magnesium and calcium ions) so that minor variations of the incubation conditions may cause major differences in demonstrable activities.

In the presence of Mg2+, pure glutamate dehydrogenase is more reactive with NADPH than with NADH and is markedly activated by elevations in the ADP/ATP ratio or the addition of leucine. Because these are properties of glutamate dehydrogenase in mitochondria but not properties of the pure enzyme studied in the absence of Mg2+, Mg2+ could be a ligand that confers upon glutamate dehydrogenase the regulatory properties of this enzyme found in situ. In the absence of the allosteric activators ADP, leucine, or succinyl-CoA, Mg2+ is an inhibitor and increases product inhibition by alpha-ketoglutarate in the forward reaction and substrate inhibition by alpha-ketoglutarate in the reverse reaction. However, the allosteric activators convert Mg2+ from an inhibitor into an activator of the forward reaction. In the reverse reaction, ADP also converts Mg2+ from an inhibitor into an activator and leucine eliminates inhibition by Mg2+. Because Mg2+ is an inhibitor in the absence of activator that also increases inhibition by alpha-ketoglutarate, whereas in the presence of activator Mg2+ has no effect or is itself an activator, Mg2+ magnifies the effect of the activator, and magnification increases with increases in the concentration of alpha-ketoglutarate. Leucine and its analog 2-aminobicyclo (2.2.1) heptane 2-carboxylic acid (BCH) have almost identical effects on both human and bovine glutamate dehydrogenase in both the presence and absence of Mg2+. However, advantages of BCH over leucine as a potential pharmacological activator of glutamate dehydrogenase are that BCH is not metabolized and, unlike leucine, BCH does not inhibit ornithine transcarbamylase. Isoleucine and valine alone have little effect on human glutamate dehydrogenase, but isoleucine slightly inhibits the enzyme in the presence of leucine.
