The ribose-modified chromophoric and fluorescent analog of ATP, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadienylidene)-ATP (TNP-ATP) (Hiratsuka, T., and Uchida, K. (1973) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 320, 635-647 and Hiratsuka, T. (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 453, 293-297) has been widely used as an ATP analog for various ATPases. Although the corresponding analog of GTP,2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadienylidene)-GTP (TNP-GTP) should be useful for the study of various GTP-requiring enzymes, it is difficult to prepare TNP-GTP by the conventional method. In the present study, we succeeded in the synthesis of TNP-GTP with the use of an alternative method. The analogs of GDP, GMP, and guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) were also synthesized. Visible absorption and fluorescent properties of TNP-GTP, TNP-GDP, TNP-GMP, and TNP-Gpp(NH)p were quite similar to those of TNP-ATP. TNP-GTP was found to be able to replace GTP as an inhibitor for bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase. The enzyme was inhibited by TNP-GTP to a maximum extent of 54% at saturating concentrations of the analog with a KI of 2.7 microM. TNP-Gpp(NH)p and other ribose-modified fluorescent analogs of GTP,3'-O-anthraniloyl-GTP and 3'-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-GTP (Hiratsuka, T. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 742, 496-508), also inhibited the enzymatic activity. Binding of TNP-GTP to the enzyme was characterized by a 5.6-fold enhancement in analog fluorescence. In the presence of NADH, the limiting fluorescence enhancement of the bound analog decreased to 2.7-fold. As determined by fluorometric titration, the maximum number of TNP-GTP binding sites on the enzyme was 1.9 mol/mol of subunit with a KD of 0.66 microM in the absence of NADH and 2.2 mol/mol of subunit with two KD values of 0.11 and 0.71 microM in the presence of NADH. These observations suggest that NADH binding increases the affinity of only 1 mol of the 2 mol of TNP-GTP bound to the enzyme. These spectroscopic and biological properties of TNP-GTP should make this analog useful as a chromophoric and fluorescent probe for studies not only of glutamate dehydrogenase but also of various GTP-requiring enzymes, which have a high specificity for the base moiety of GTP.

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.

Explicit expressions are derived which describe the binding of a univalent ligand to equivalent and independent sites on each state of an acceptor undergoing indefinite self-association that is governed by an isodesmic equilibrium constant KI. From considerations of systems in which the same site-binding constant kA applies to all acceptor-ligand interactions, the general forms of binding curves and Scatchard plots are deduced for situations in which binding sites are either created or lost at each monomer-monomer interface. Greater generality is then introduced into the model by allowing ligand interactions with polymeric acceptor states to be governed by a site-binding constant kp that differs in magnitude from that for monomeric acceptor kA. Finally, experimental results with the glutamate dehydrogenase-GTP and lysozyme-saccharide systems are used to illustrate ways in which the present quantitative expressions may be applied to the characterization of inteactions between a ligand and an indefinitely self-associating acceptor.

1. The effect of NADH and the non-competitive inhibitor GTP on the optical-rotatory-dispersion properties of glutamate dehydrogenase has been studied. 2. Analysis of the data in terms of the a(0) and b(0) parameters of the Moffitt-Yang equation indicates that a conformational change is induced either by NADH or by GTP in the presence of small amounts of NADH. 3. Sedimentation measurements under comparable conditions showed that the enzyme reversibly dissociates into sub-units but that this dissociation is only secondary to the conformational changes. 4. Fluorescence measurements showed that the binding constant of NADH and the number of binding sites on the enzyme increased in the presence of GTP. 5. This is confirmed by studies of fluorescence polarization, which in addition showed that the movement of NADH on the enzyme surface is more restricted in the presence of GTP. 6. The relation of these results to possible regulatory mechanisms is discussed.

1. The interaction of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulphonate with ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase was examined. 2. The fluorescence of the dye is enhanced 100-fold on binding. 3. A further enhancement is observed when NADH and GTP are added to the enzyme. 4. By using this property of the dye to measure conformational equilibria in the enzyme the effects of coenzyme, inhibitors, enzyme concentration, ionic strength and pH on the allosteric transitions were studied. 5. GTP and NADH interact with the enzyme in a heterotropic manner. 6. The rate of the structural transition brought about by GTP and NADH is biphasic with half-lives of 34 and 200msec. 7. The relation of these observations to regulatory mechanisms is discussed.

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. 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%.
