Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to identify metabolic enzymes in Babesia bovis and B. bigemina. Glutamate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose phosphate isomerase, and hexokinase were identified in B. bovis- and B. bigemina-infected erythrocytes and B. bovis merozoite preparations. A specific electrophoretic mobility was observed for each enzyme. Malate dehydrogenase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and adenylate kinase were only detected in normal erythrocyte preparations. Inter-species, but not intra-species, variation was noted when comparing electrophoretograms of both species. Kinin-activating activity was not detected in B. bovis-infected erythrocyte or merozoite preparations at pH 4.2 or 7.6.

The enzyme activities of cultured early erythroid progenitor cells (burst-forming unit erythroid, BFU-E) were measured and were compared with the activities of mature erythrocytes. The enzyme activity of acetylcholinesterase was not detectable in the erythroblasts. The ratios of phosphofructokinase and glutathione peroxidase were low due to low enzyme activities in both the erythroblasts and erythrocytes. The ratios of triose phosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, and adenylate kinase were low due to high enzyme activities in both the erythroblasts and erythrocytes. The ratios of hexokinase, glucose phosphate isomerase, monophosphoglyceromutase, pyruvate kinase, and adenosine deaminase were high due to high enzyme activities in the erythroblasts. The isozyme of erythroblast hexokinase was of the prototype isozyme I, while pyruvate kinase was predominantly of the prototype M2, with two hybrid isozymes to the anodal side by electrophoresis. These facts suggest that there is a greatly different metabolic pattern during the maturation of the erythroid cells.

Modifications of enzyme activities (creatine kinase and its B subunit; adenylate kinase; hexokinase; phosphofructokinase; lactate dehydrogenase; malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase; citrate synthase; acetylcarnitine transferase; beta-hydroxyacetyl-CoA dehydrogenase; cytochrome c oxidase) in gastrocnemius muscle and myocardium were reported after two forms of training with or without administration of anabolic steroid. Endurance training was on a horizontal motor-driven treadmill, 2 km X hr-1, 5 days a week for 0.5 hr per day for 5 weeks. In the case of power endurance training there was a slope of 45 degrees. Enzyme activities in controls and treated guinea pigs, as well as treatment-induced enzyme activity changes are time dependent. Some of these activities correlate linearly with one another; such correlations characterize the effect of adaptation. Endurance training and power endurance training in this study induce similar modifications and seem to differ essentially in the daily work load. The anabolic steroid methandrostenolone (dianabol) induces modifications which training does not bring about but which training at least partially eliminates.

Soluble chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) and the ATP synthase complex, under uncoupled conditions, can form bound ATP from tightly bound ADP and medium Pi. This partial reaction is a powerful probe of the mechanism of ATP synthesis. During our study of the synthesis of bound ATP by CF1 other enzyme activities, which generate [32P]nucleotides from 32Pi, were characterized and controlled. Two enzymes present at significant levels in the preparations are polynucleotide phosphorylase and adenylate kinase. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) was found both in thylakoid and CF1 preparations and catalyzed the formation of [beta-32P]ADP via its Pi----ADP exchange activity. The formation of [beta-32P]ADP during net photophosphorylation is attributable to adenylate kinase action on the [32P]ATP formed since hexokinase and glucose effectively block its production. In addition, PNPase also degraded RNA present in thylakoid preparations yielding all four [32P]nucleoside diphosphates. PNPase was also shown to catalyze a Pi----ATP exchange that is dependent on RNA primers and other cofactors.

The enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), hexokinase (HK), adenylate kinase (AK), fructokinase (FK), mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (MPI), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were chosen to study the variation between isolates, cercariae and adults, individuals, and sexes of Schistosoma mansoni and S. rodhaini, using horizontal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The method described allows combinations of six of the eight enzymes to be scored in the homogenate from one adult worm. In adult S. mansoni one phenotype of the eight enzymes was observed in all isolates. In addition, the enzyme PGI showed polymorphism in the isolates from Tala, Kenya and Uganda. PGM in the isolates from Tala, Kenya and South Africa showed polymorphism. The cercarial phenotype differs from the adult phenotype in G-6-PDH, where the cercarial enzyme mobility is slower than that in the adult worm. The low amount of intrastrain variation observed in this species is explained by the limited amount of material used to establish the laboratory stocks, whereas the genetic similarity between geographically widely separated stocks does suggest that only limited geographical variation is likely to occur in S. mansoni. It is suggested that the gene controlling the PGI polymorphism is located on the sex chromosomes of S. mansoni. Mobility differences were observed between S. mansoni and S. rodhaini in the enzyme PGI and PGM, and these characteristics might be useful for a quick identification of schistosome cercariae emerging from Biomphalaria sp. in Africa.U

The distributions of glycogen phosphorylase, hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, malate dehydrogenase, beta-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase, and adenylokinase were determined in the mudpuppy retina. Distinct differences were found in regard to the glycolytic and oxidative capacities of the various layers. In the outer retina, citric acid cycle enzymes were high while glycolytic enzymes were low. Synaptic zones were distinctly enriched in all energy-producing enzymes. Mudpuppy photoreceptors were found to be rich in phosphorylase but poor in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, suggestive of some evolutionary divergence from mammals in the metabolic machinery which is used to support the visual process.

(1) Biopsies from the gastrocnemius muscle of patients with Duchenne dystrophy were partitioned into a myofibrillar plus nuclear fraction, a mitochondrial fraction and a supernatant fraction. The fractions were assayed for mitochondrial enzymes and protein, in order to obtain information about the integrity of mitochondrial structure and function. Muscles from boys and adults without neuromuscular disease were treated likewise. (2) In adults, muscle possesses a significantly higher specific activity (on protein basis) of monoamine oxidase and rotenone-insenitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase (RINCR) than in boys. In childhood, monoamine oxidase activity increases with age. At the age of 5 yr, the specific activity is 50% of the adult value. RINCR activity is constant in childhood. With adolescence it increases from 20 +/- 2 (SEM) to 35 +/- 6 mumoles cytochrome c reduced per min per g protein, and it remains at this level. Palmitoyl-CoA synthetase activity remains constant with age. (3) In Duchenne dystrophy the extractable protein content from muscle is decreased to 75%. The specific activities of the matrix enzymes propionyl-CoA carboxylase and glutamate dehydrogenase are 1.8 and 2.8 times increased, the inner membrane enzyme cytochrome c oxidase is 2.8 times increased, the inner membrane enzyme cytochrome c oxidase is 2.8 times increased. Of the outer membrane enzymes RINCR is 2.0 times increased, while palmitoyl-CoA synthetase is not changed in acitivity. In Duchenne dystrophy monoamine oxidase activity also increases with age. In part this may be due to mitochondria from adipose tissue and macrophages, which are increasingly present in older patients. The specific activities of enzymes with a predominant cytosolic localisation, creatine kinase and adenylate kinase, are increased by a factor of 1.5 and 1.7. (4) The subcellular distribution of the studied enzymes in human skeletal muscle was found to be similar as in animal studies. In mitochondrial fractions from Duchenne patients the recoveries of the following enzymes are decreased: glutamate dehydrogenase (from 25 to 9%), creatine kinase (1.1-0.66%), adenylate kinase (0.44-0.22%), hexokinase (7.1-2.7%), monoamine oxidase (36-21%), RINCR (30-17%), and palmitoyl-CoA synthetase (40-21%). The recoveries of last 3 mitochondrial outer membrane enzymes in the supernatant fractions are correspondingly increased. These results indicate an increased fragility of the mitochondrial membranes in dystrophic muscles. (5) The reported changes are clearly evident in a one-year-old patient, which indicates that the mitochondria are involved early in the disease process.

The activities of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase and glutathione reductase were determined in the aorta of rats made diabetics with streptozotocin for over two weeks and in noninjected controls. Adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) and total adenine nucleotide content were also measured. Glutathione reductase activity was not significantly changed in the diabetic aorta whereas the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase and adenylate kinase were all increased. Hexokinase activity was significantly decreased in diabetic rat aorta. When measured after incubation in vitro for 2 h with 5.6 mmol/l glucose, the ATP-concentration was reduced in the diabetic aorta while the total concentration of adenine nucleotides was unchanged. Insulin treatment started three days after induction of diabetes with streptozotocin and continued for twelve days restored the growth rate of the rats but their glucose metabolism was not completely normalized. After insulin treatment no significant differences between diabetic and normal rats were found in the aortic activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase or in the ATP content.

The purpose of the present enzymic and histologic analysis of pulmonary samples from 39 subjects was to discern a common, meaningful pattern which may underlie the biochemical heterogeneity of lung neoplasms. The distribution among the different tumors of thymidine kinase, uridine kinase, phosphoserine phosphatase, hexokinase and adenylate kinase was found to correlate with each other. By averaging their standardized units (normal lung = 0) an enzymic index of neoplasticity was calculated for each tumor and used (in increasing order) to rank all 39. The index, showing a significant positive correlation with mitotic frequency, encompassed a continuous 100-fold range. Poorly differentiated carcinomas ranked high while neoplasms with better differentiation and prognosis placed in the lower half of the range. The results indicate that enzymes showing coordinated variations over a broad spectrum of tumors could contribute objective criteria to the rating of any individual tumor against a continuous, quantitative scale of neoplasticity.

The interaction of the cardiac glycoside [3H]ouabain with the Na+, K+ pump of resealed human erythrocyte ghosts was investigated. Binding of [3H]ouabain to high intracellular Na+ ghosts was studied in high extracellular Na+ media, a condition determined to produce maximal ouabain binding rates. Simultaneous examination of both the number of ouabain molecules bound per ghost and the corresponding inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase revealed that one molecule of [3H]ouabain inhibited one Na+, K+-ATPase complex. Intracellular magnesium or magnesium plus inorganic phosphate produced the lowest ouabain binding rate. Support of ouabain binding by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was negligible, provided synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the residual adenylate kinase activity was prevented by the adenylate kinase inhibitor Ap5A. Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) alone did not support ouabain binding after inhibition of the endogenous nucleoside diphosphokinase by trypan blue and depletion of residual ATP by the incorporation of hexokinase and glucose. ATP acting solely at the high-affinity binding site of the Na+, K+ pump (Km approximately 1 microM) promoted maximal [3H]ouabain binding rates. Failure of 5'-adenylyl-beta-gamma-imidophosphate (AMP-PNP) to stimulate significantly the rate of ouabain binding suggests that phosphorylation of the pump was required to expose the ouabain receptor.
