NADH and NADPH diaphorase isozymes have been studied in human tissues. Evidence from rare heterozygotes suggests that the red cell and main tissue forms of NADH diaphorase are products of the same locus DIA1. NADPH-dependent diaphorase appears to be the product of a second locus DIA2. A third locus, DIA3, codes for the polymorphic sperm diaphorase. The products of this locus are also found in foetal tissues including placenta and adult brain and gonads. The products of these three loci may be distinguished by their substrate specificity, thermostability and molecular size.

Electrophoretic variation and inheritance of four novel enzyme systems were studied in maize (Zea mays L.). A minimum of 10 genetic loci collectively encodes isozymes of aconitate hydratase (ACO; EC 4.2.1.3.), adenylate kinase (ADK; EC 2.7.4.3), NADH dehydrogenase (DIA; EC 1.6.99.-), and shikimate dehydrogenase (SAD; EC 1.1.1.25). At least four loci are responsible for the genetic control of ACO. Genetic data for two of the encoding loci, Aco1 and Aco4, demonstrated that at least two maize ACOs are active as monomers. Analysis of organellar preparations suggests that ACO1 and ACO4 are localized in the cytosolic and mitochondrial subcellular fractions, respectively. Maize ADK is encoded by a single nuclear locus, Adk1, governing monomeric enzymes that are located in the chloroplasts. Two cytosolic and two mitochondrial forms of DIA were electrophoretically resolved. Segregation analyses demonstrated that the two cytosolic isozymes are controlled by separate loci, Dia1 and Dia2, coding for products that are functional as monomers (DIA1) and dimers (DIA2). The major isozyme of SAD is apparently cytosolic, although an additional faintly staining plastid form may be present. Alleles at Sad1 are each associated with two bands that cosegregate in controlled crosses. Linkage analyses and crosses with B-A translocation stocks were effective in determining the map locations of six loci, including the previously described but unmapped locus Acp4. Several of these loci were localized to sparsely mapped regions of the genome. Dia2 and Acp4 were placed on the distal portion of the long arm of chromosome 1, 12.6 map units apart. Dia1 was localized to chromosome 2, 22.2 centimorgans (cM) from B1. Aco1 was mapped to chromosome 4, 6.2 cM from su1. Adk1 was placed on the poorly marked short arm of chromosome 6, 8.1 map units from rgd1. Less than 1% recombination was observed between Glu1 (on chromosome 10) and Sad1. In contrast to many other maize isozyme systems, there was little evidence of gene duplication or of parallel linkage relationships for these allozyme loci.

The ability to determine the phenotypes of erythrocyte NADH diaphorase (DIA1) was demonstrated in bloodstains, the utility of the system extending about two weeks. Electrophoretic variants representing three uncommon phenotypes (DIA1 2-1, DIA1 4-1 and DIA1 7-1) were found in five of 785 individuals tested. The NADPH diaphorase DIA2 isozymes could not be resolved sufficiently for practical use.
