Chemical crosslinking with dimethyl pimelimidate has been used to examine the quaternary structure and conformational mobility of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase. Crosslinking patterns are shown to be consistent with either a stacked or staggered dimer of trimers structure of the hexamer. Crosslinking in the absence of coligands results in a small loss of activity but an almost complete loss of GTP inhibitory effects. Protection experiments show that the active site can be protected by a variety of ligand combinations, and that the loss of GTP inhibition is protected by several complexes containing either NADH or NADPH, indicating that the second coenzyme site per subunit (which preferentially binds NADH) is not involved in the protection process. A significant loss of ADP activation occurs during crosslinking which is not protected against by any combination of protecting ligands tried, including those which involve second coenzyme site binding, showing that the ADP site is functionally distinct from the GTP site and from the second coenzyme binding site. Crosslinking in the presence of protecting ligands gives similar gel patterns to those obtained in the absence of protection. Affinity chromatography experiments show that the crosslinked enzyme still binds GTP despite the loss of GTP inhibition, and hysteresis experiments show that the second coenzyme site is left functional if protected with either coenzyme. A model is presented where crosslinking affects the conformational linkage between various ligand binding sites involved in GTP inhibition rather than the sites themselves.

Kinetic constants were determined for commercially available samples of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase, which had previously been shown to have suffered limited proteolysis during preparation, with a range of substrates and effectors. These were compared with the values obtained with enzyme preparations purified in such a way as to prevent this proteolysis from occurring [McCarthy, Walker & Tipton (1980) Biochem. J. 191, 605-611]. The Km values and maximum velocities determined with different substrates revealed little difference between the two preparations although the proteolysed enzyme had lower Km values for NH4+ and glutamate when the activities were determined with NADPH and NADP+ respectively. This preparation was more sensitive to inhibition by Cl- ions but less sensitive to inhibition by high concentrations of the substrate NADH. The two preparations also differed in their sensitivities to allosteric effectors, with the proteolysed enzyme being the less sensitive to inhibition by GTP. At high concentrations of NADH, this preparation was also more sensitive to activation by ADP and ATP.

Ox-liver glutamate dehydrogenase is known to utilise a wide range of amino acid substrates. Kinetic studies are presented here for L-threo-gamma-methylglutamate and L-alpha-amino-gamma-nitraminobutyrate in the presence of the allosteric effector ADP. The results presented are considered in the light of similar studies presented elsewhere in which the cofactor was systematically replaced by a variety of analogues. These amino acid analogues share the same pH optimum as glutamate, unlike the monocarboxylic amino acids including alanine and norvaline, and give linear double-reciprocal plots under the conditions used here. Studies with the alternative coenzymes have suggested an ordered addition of glutamate before coenzyme in the presence of ADP. The present results obtained under identical conditions support this conclusion.

Highly purified preparations of glutamate dehydrogenase were obtained from mitochondrial and cytoplasmic fractions of rabbit liver by affinity chromatography on CL-Sepharose 4B modified by adenosine diphosphate. Some physico-chemical properties of the purified enzymes (e. g., specific activity, molecular weight, quaternary structure, stability against denaturating effect of urea, pH optimum of catalyzed reactions, Km values for substrates and coenzymes) were found to be identical. The sole difference was detected in the ability of enzyme preparations to be activated by adenosine diphosphate. The activation of the cytoplasmic enzyme is 160%, that of mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase is 230-240% under the same conditions.

Treatment of the inner membrane matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria with the nonionic detergent Lubrol WX solubilized about 70% of the total protein and 90% or more of the following matrix activities: malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP). The Lubrol-insoluble fraction was enriched in cytochromes, phospholipids, and a Mg(++)-stimulated ATPase activity. Less than 2% of the total mitochondrial activity of monoamine oxidase, an outer membrane marker, or adenylate kinase, an intracristal space marker could be detected in this inner membrane fraction. Electron micrographs of negatively stained preparations showed vesicles (</=0.4 micro diameter) literally saturated on the periphery with the 90 A ATPase particles. These inner membrane vesicles, which appeared for the most part to be inverted with respect to the normal inner membrane configuration in intact mitochondria, retained the succinicoxidase portion of the electron-transport chain, an intact phosphorylation site II with a high affinity for ADP, and the capacity to accumulate Ca(++). A number of biochemical properties characteristic of intact mitochondria and the inner membrane matrix fraction, however, were either absent or markedly deficient in the inner membrane vesicles. These included stimulation of respiration by either ADP or 2,4-dinitrophenol, oligomycin-sensitive ADP-ATP exchange activity, atractyloside sensitivity of adenine nucleotide requiring reactions, and a stimulation of the Mg(++)-ATPase by 2,4-dinitrophenol.

1. Modification with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid was studied for its effect on the structure, activity and response to regulatory effectors of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase. 2. The modification affected amino groups only, and the relative reactivities of the amino groups of the enzyme are described. 3. A biphasic inactivation of the enzyme was observed and analysis of the course of inactivation and of modification showed that the rapid reaction of one amino group/subunit leads to loss of 80% of the enzymic activity. 4. NADH retarded the inactivation by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid, the protection increasing with NADH concentration. This, together with the previous observation, suggests that the rapidly reacting group is essential for the activity of the enzyme. 5. The effects of modification on the optical-rotatory-dispersion and sedimentation behaviour of the enzyme were studied. 6. The enzyme's response to the allosteric effector GTP was rapidly lost on modification, whereas its response to ADP was unaffected. Comparison of the inactivation and desensitization suggests that the reactive amino group is essential for both activity and GTP response, and that only a completely unmodified enzyme oligomer responds fully to GTP. 7. The merits of chemical-modification studies of large enzymes are discussed critically in connexion with the interpretation of these results.

1. Changes in the concentrations of ammonia, glutamine, glutamate, 2-oxoglutarate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, alanine, aspartate, malate, lactate, pyruvate, NAD(+), NADH and adenine nucleotides were measured in freeze-clamped rat liver during ischaemia. 2. Although the concentrations of most of the metabolites changed rapidly during ischaemia the ratios [glutamate]/[2-oxoglutarate][NH(4) (+)] and [3-hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] changed equally and the value of the expression [3-hydroxybutyrate][2-oxoglutarate][NH(4) (+)]/[acetoacetate][glutamate] remained approximately constant, indicating that the 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase systems were at near-equilibrium with the mitochondrial NAD(+) couple. 3. The value of the expression [alanine][oxoglutarate]/[pyruvate][glutamate] was about 0.7 in vivo and remained fairly constant during the ischaemic period of 5min, although the concentrations of alanine and oxoglutarate changed substantially. No explanation can be offered why the value of the ratio differed from that of the equilibrium constant of the alanine aminotransferase reaction, which is 1.48. 4. Injection of l-cycloserine 60min before the rats were killed increased the concentration of alanine in the liver fourfold and decreased the concentration of the other metabolites measured, except that of pyruvate. During ischaemia the concentration of alanine did not change but that of aspartate almost doubled. 5. After treatment with l-cycloserine the value in vivo of the expression [alanine][oxoglutarate]/[pyruvate][glutamate] rose from 0.7 to 2.4. During ischaemia the value returned to 0.8. 6. The effects of l-cycloserine are consistent with the assumption that it specifically inhibits alanine aminotransferase. 7. Most of the alanine formed during ischaemia is probably derived from pyruvate and from ammonia released by the deamination of adenine nucleotides and glutamine. The alanine is presumably formed by the combined action of glutamate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase. 8. The rate of anaerobic glycolysis, calculated from the increase in the lactate concentration, was 1.3mumol/min per g fresh wt. 9. Although the concentrations of the adenine nucleotides changed rapidly during ischaemia, the ratio [ATP][AMP]/[ADP](2) remained constant at 0.54, indicating that adenylate kinase established near-equilibrium under these conditions.

1. Glutamate dehydrogenase was inhibited by l-serine O-sulphate, beta-chloro-l-alanine, O-phospho-l-serine and beta-chloro-l-alanine methyl ester. With the exception of beta-chloro-l-alanine methyl ester which was an irreversible inhibitor, it was possible to reverse the inhibitory effects by dialysis. 2. Both NAD(+) and glutamate afford some protection against the inhibition due to the methyl ester. No change in the normal stimulatory effect exhibited by ADP was observed in the presence of beta-chloro-l-alanine methyl ester but the effect due to GTP was modified. 3. Irradiation of glutamate dehydrogenase in the presence of Rose Bengal produced rapid inactivation. Amino acid analysis of the inactivated enzyme showed that eight histidine residues had been destroyed in the process.

1. Glutamate dehydrogenase was subject to rapid inactivation when irradiated in the presence of Rose Bengal or incubated in the presence of ethoxyformic anhydride. 2. Inactivation in the presence of Rose Bengal led to the photo-oxidation of four histidine residues. Oxidation of three histidine residues had little effect on enzyme activity, but oxidation of the fourth residue led to the almost total loss of activity. 3. Acylation of glutamate dehydrogenase with ethoxyformic anhydride at pH6.1 led to the modification of three histidine residues with a corresponding loss of half the original activity. Acylation at pH7.5 led to the modification of two histidine residues and a total loss of enzyme activity. 4. One of the histidine residues undergoing reaction at pH6.1 also undergoes reaction at pH7.5. 5. The presence of either glutamate or NAD(+) in the reaction mixtures at pH6.1 had no appreciable effect. At pH7.5 glutamate caused a marked decrease in both the degree of alkylation and degree of inactivation. NAD(+) had no effect on the degree of inactivation at pH7.5 but did modify the extent of acylation. 6. The normal response of the enzyme towards ADP was unaffected by acylation at pH6.1 or 7.5. 7. The normal response of the enzyme towards GTP was altered by treatment at both pH6.1 and 7.5.

1. The reaction of 4-iodoacetamidosalicylate with bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase is dependent on pH. The pH-activity curve is bell-shaped and can be described by apparent pK values of 7.8+/-0.2 and 9.1+/-0.2. 2. Enzyme in which lysine-126 has been modified by 4-iodoacetamidosalicylate has unaltered sedimentation characteristics except when measured in the presence of GTP and NADH. 3. GTP binding to the inhibited enzyme is unaltered. However, GTP can no longer promote the binding of a second molecule of NADH, since this is already bound to the inhibited enzyme without GTP. 4. The equilibrium binding of ADP, GTP, NAD-sulphite and NADH (when measured at low concentrations) was largely unchanged by modification. 5. The number of binding sites for 2-oxoglutarate to the enzyme-NADH complex were decreased by 60% in an enzyme that has been inhibited by 70%.
