The natural developmental gradient of light-grown primary leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) was used to analyze the biogenesis of mitochondrial proteins in relation to the age and physiological changes within the leaf. The data indicate that the protein composition of mitochondria changes markedly during leaf development. Three distinct patterns of protein development were noted: group A proteins, consisting of the E1 beta-subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, ORF156, ORF577, alternative oxidase, RPS12, cytochrome oxidase subunits II and III, malic enzyme, and the alpha- and beta-subunits of F1-ATPase; group B proteins, consisting of the E1 alpha-subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, isocitrate dehydrogenase, HSP70A, cpn60C, and cpn60B; and group C proteins, consisting of the four subunits of the glycine decarboxylase complex (P, H, T, and L proteins), fumarase, and formate dehydrogenase. All of the proteins increased in concentration from the basal meristem to the end of the elongation zone (20.0 mm from the leaf base), whereupon group A proteins decreased, group B proteins increased to a maximum at 50 mm from the leaf base, and group C proteins increased to a maximum at the leaf tip. This study provides evidence of a marked heterogeneity of mitochondrial protein composition, reflecting a changing function as leaf cells develop photosynthetic and photorespiratory capacity.

A developmental block is induced by phosphate in rat embryos at the late two-cell stage. The present study was designed to examine the energy metabolism of rat two-cell blocked and non-blocked embryos. Enzyme activity was measured in individual embryos by histochemical techniques. The activities of malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and phosphorylase did not differ among non-blocked and blocked embryos. However, the activity of succinate dehydrogenase was significantly decreased in blocked embryos compared with non-blocked embryos. In blocked embryos, cytochrome oxidase activity was distributed homogeneously, but was located at the perinuclear region in non-blocked embryos. Active mitochondrial organization was visualized using the fluorescent probe rhodamine 123 and laser scanning confocal microscopy. In both non-blocked and blocked embryos, mitochondria were distributed homogeneously. The concentration of H2O2 measured fluorometrically in embryos cultured without phosphate did not change significantly during the culture period, but decreased in embryos cultured with phosphate. The timing corresponded to the occurrence of the two-cell block. In summary, these results suggest that the developmental block in rat two-cell embryos is induced by disturbance of mitochondrial energy metabolism.

The age dynamics of activities of enzymes which catalysis several stages of metabolism (hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase) and antioxidant system (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase) was studied in the bone marrow erythroid cells of pig during the 10-day period after birth as well as in the cells of 30 days old animals. It was established that in the neonatal period of development the reorganization of energy metabolism in pig bone marrow erythrokaryocytes took place. It consisted in the intensification of oxidative processes and in a great measure was directed on the activation of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase formation in the nature red cells. During the early period after birth the activation of antioxidant system in erythroid cells of pig bone marrow was observed.

The influence of thyroxine on activity of enzymes of energy metabolism (hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, laktate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrome-c oxidase) and antioxidative system (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase) of neonatal piglet neutrophils was investigated. It has been found, that after durable injections of hormone (4 mg/kg body weight) the increase of glycolytic enzymes activities as well as aerobic energy pathway catalyzers took place. Simultaneously the augmentation of superoxide dismutase reaction occurred after the thyroxine treatment. Such effect might represent an important link in compensatory mechanism, which prevents the destructive action of reactive oxygen species.

Enteropathogenic Campylobacterjejuni, C. coli and C. lari are currently the most common causes of acute infectious diarrhoeal illness in the UK. Many domestic animals, including pigs, act as natural reservoirs of these organisms and infection may occur through the ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs. C jejuni and C. coli, isolated from the livers of bacon pigs, were examined at subspecies level by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) typing with seven enzymic loci. Polymorphological variation was highest with indophenol oxidase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and L-phenylalanyl-L-leucine peptidase giving 5. 5 and 4 alleles at these loci, respectively. The 35 Campylobacter isolates examined in this study (12 C. jejuni and 23 C coli) represented 30 unique electrophoretic types (ETs). Of these ETs, 8 unique types were detected for the 12 C jejuni isolates and 19 unique ETs were detected for the 23 C coli isolates. In addition, 3 types (ETs 2, 5, 10) were shared in common among C. jejuni and C coli. The average number of alleles per enzyme locus was 3.28. The mean genetic diversity, i.e. arithmetic average over all loci assayed, including monomorphic values, was 0.5573 and 0.5350 for C jejuni and C coli. respectively. Alleles were shared by C jejuni and C coli, suggesting an exchange of genetic material between the species. MEE analyses of isolates showed that there was a wide range of subspecies types within both C. jejuni and C coli in porcine livers. In certain cases, up to four phenotypically different strains of C coli were isolated from one liver, indicating multiple infections.

To identify the mechanisms underlying muscle aging, we have undertaken a high-resolution differential proteomic analysis of gastrocnemius muscle in young adults, mature adults, and old LOU/c/jall rats. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and subsequent MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry analyses led to the identification of 40 differentially expressed proteins. Strikingly, most differences characterized old (30-month) animals, whereas young (7-month) and mature (18-month) adults exhibited similar patterns of expression. Important modifications in contractile (actin, myosin light-chains, troponins-T) and cytoskeletal (desmin, tubulin) proteins, and in essential regulatory proteins (gelsolin, myosin binding proteins, CapZ-beta, P23), likely account for dysfunctions in old muscle force generation and speed of contraction. Other features support decreases in cytosolic (triose-phosphate isomerase, enolase, glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase, creatine kinase) and mitochondrial (isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrome-c oxidase) energy metabolisms. Muscle aging is often associated with increased oxidative stress. Accordingly, we observed differential regulation of molecular chaperones (hsp20, hsp27, reticuloplasmin ER60) and of proteins implicated in reactive aldehyde detoxification (aldehyde dehydrogenase, glutathione transferase, glyoxalase). We further noticed up-regulation of proteins involved in transcriptional elongation (RNA capping protein) and RNA-editing (Apobec2). Most of these proteins were previously unrecognized as differentially expressed in old muscles, and they represent novel starting points for elucidating the mechanisms of muscle aging.

Mitochondria isolated from cotyledons of germinating wax beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) showed fairly good respiratory control on days 1 and 2 after planting. The respiratory control was completely lost from days 3 to 5. During this period mitochondria were shown to be very leaky, losing about 88% of their total nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to the suspending medium in a short time. The respiratory control was partially recovered by day 7, after which it completely disappeared again. By the use of differential centrifugation, the mitochondria were divided into subfractions by sequential centrifugation: 10,000g for 5 minutes, 25,000g for 5 minutes, and 40,000g for 5 minutes. The 10,000g subfraction was responsible for the recovery of mitochondrial activity (respiratory control value, adenosine diphosphate to oxygen ratio, and rate of oxygen utilization), on day 7. Activities of succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase from different mitochondrial subfractions of aging cotyledons were determined. In general, the enzyme activities, adenosine diphosphate to oxygen ratios, and the ability of mitochondria to swell and contract followed the same pattern as for respiratory control.

Organelles in homogenates from autotrophic cells of Chlorogonium elongatum were separated on linear sucrose gradients. The distribution of enzymes typical of leaf peroxisomes was determined.Whereas more than 60% of the catalase activity was particulate and recovered in microbodies at a mean density of 1.225 g/cm(3) within the gradient, in most experiments only 5 to 10% (as a maximum 30%) of the NAD-dependent hydroxypyruvate reductase was particulate, and this was recovered principally at density 1.19 g/cm(3). This distribution coincides with that of cytochrome oxidase, malate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase, the mitochondrial markers. Glyoxylate-glutamate aminotransferase and glycolate dehydrogenase showed a similar distribution pattern to that of NAD-dependent hydroxypyruvate reductase. Thus in Chlorogonium the enzymes of the glycolate pathway are not associated with the microbodies that are recovered at density 1.225 g/cm(3).The single large chloroplasts of the Chlorogonium cells are broken during grinding, and this probably accounts for the finding that NADP-glyoxylate reductase was recovered only in the soluble fractions of the gradient.

Marbling is an important criterion for beef quality grading in many countries. The purpose of the current study was to utilize the natural genetic variation to identify major metabolic indicators of marbling in cattle differing in genotypes. Rectus abdominis (RA, oxidative), semitendinosus (glycolytic), and longissimus thoracis (LT, oxido-glycolytic) muscles were taken from steers of different genotypes that expressed high [Angus, n = 16; and crossbred (Angus x Japanese Black), n = 10] or low (Limousin, n = 12) levels of marbling in their meat. Muscles from Angus and crossbred steers were characterized, as expected, by a greater triacylglycerol (TAG) content (P < 0.001) and also by greater protein contents of fatty acid-binding protein specific for heart and muscles (H-FABP; P < 0.001 for RA and P < 0.05 for LT muscle) or for adipocytes (A-FABP; P < 0.001 for RA and LT muscles). Moreover, oxidative enzyme activities (beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrome-c oxidase) were greater (P < 0.01 to 0.001) in the 3 muscles studied, whereas glycolytic enzyme activities (phosphofructokinase and lactate dehydrogenase) were lower (P < 0.001) in RA muscle in Angus and crossbred steers compared with Limousin steers. Significant correlations were observed between TAG content and H- and A-FABP protein contents, and oxidative (r > or = +0.55, P < 0.001) or glycolytic enzyme activities (r > or = -0.47, P < 0.001), when the 3 genotypes and muscles studied were considered as a whole. In addition, A-FABP protein content and some oxidative enzyme activities were significantly correlated with TAG content independently of the genotype and muscle effects. In conclusion, A-FABP protein content, as well as oxidative enzyme activities, may be used as indicators of the ability of steers from extreme genotypes to deposit intramuscular fat.

Isozyme analysis and cytochrome oxidase sequences were used to examine whether differentiation of P. fragariae var. fragariae and P. fragariae var. rubi at the variety level is justified. In isozyme studies six strains of both P. fragariae varieties were analyzed with malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), aconitase (ACO), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD), comprising altogether seven putative loci. Five unique alleles (Mdh-1(A), Mdh-2(B), Gpi(A), Aco(B) and Idh-1(B)) were found in strains of P. fragariae var. fragariae, whereas five unique alleles (Mdh-1(B), Mdh-2(A), Gpi(B), Aco(A) and Idh-1(A)) were present in strains of P. fragariae var. rubi. It was inferred from these data that there is no gene flow between the two P. fragariae varieties. Cytochrome oxidase I (Cox I) sequences showed consistent differences at 15 positions between strains of Fragaria and Rubus respectively. Based on isozyme data, cytochrome oxidase I sequences, and previously published differences in restyriction enzyme patterns of mitochondrial DNA, sequences of nuclear and mitochondrial genes, AFLP patterns and pathogenicity, it was concluded that both specific pathogenic varieties of P. fragariae are reproductively isolated and constitute a distinct species. Consequently strains isolated from Rubus idaeus are assigned to Phytophthora rubi comb. nov.
