In order to devise a more physiologic system for measuring depletion of red cell ATP levels, the effect of incubating human erythrocytes with 2-deoxyglucose has been investigated. ATP depletion proceeds very slowly at a 20 mM concentration of 2-deoxyglucose, a level which exceeds the Km of hexokinase for this substrate by more than 10-fold. However, at 160 mM concentration of 2-deoxyglucose, ATP depletion proceeds sufficiently rapidly that nearly 90% of ATP has disappeared from the red cell after 2 1/2 hr of incubation. To explain this observation, a number of additional studies were carried out. It was found that 2-deoxyglucose penetrated rapidly into red cells. Phosphorylation of 2-deoxyglucose in red cells was inhibited by both products of the 2-deoxyglucose-phosphorylating reaction, namely, 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate and ADP. Inhibition of 2-deoxyglucose phosphorylation was diminished at higher-than-physiologic pH levels. Red cells may be relatively rapidly depleted of ATP by incubation with 100 mM 2-deoxyglucose in a saline-phosphate-buffered medium, pH 7.8. In such rapidly depleted cells, the morphologic changes which formerly were attributed to ATP depletion do not occur.

ATP and citrate, the well known inhibitors of phosphofructokinase (ATP: D-fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.11), were found to inhibit the activities of the multiple forms of phosphoglucomutase (alpha-D-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate: alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.5.1) from rat muscle and adipose tissue. This inhibition could be reversed by an increase in the glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P2) concentration. Other known activators (deinhibitors) of phosphofructokinase, viz. cyclic AMP, AMP, ADP or Pi, had no direct deinhibitory action on the ATP or citrate inhibited multiple phosphoglucomutases. Cyclic AMP and AMP, could however lead indirectly to deinhibition of the phosphoglucomutases, by activating phosphofructokinase which catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of glucose 1-phosphate to form Glc-1,6-P2, the la-ter then released the multiple phosphoglucomutases from ATP or citrate inhibition. The Glc-1,6-P2 was also found to exert a selective inhibitory effect on hexokinase (ATP: D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1) type II, the predominant form in skeletal muscle. This selective inhibition by Glc-1,6-P2 was demonstrated on the multiple hexokinases which were resolved by cellogel electrophoresis or isolated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Based on the in vitro studies it is suggested that during periods of highly active epinephrine-induced glycogenolysis in muscle, the Glc-1,6-P2, produced by the cyclic AMP-stimulated reaction of phosphofructokinase with glucose 1-phosphate, will release the phosphoglucomutases from ATP or citrate inhibition, and will depress the activity of muscle type II hexokinase.

Spinach chloroplasts were able to photophosphorylate the ADP analog alpha,beta-methylene adenosine 5'-diphosphate (AOPCP). Phosphorylation of AOPCP was catalyzed by chloroplasts that were washed or dialyzed to remove free endogenous nucleotides. In the presence of glucose, hexokinase, AOPCP and 32Pi, the 32P label was incorporated into alpha,beta-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate (AOPCPOP). In contrast to photophosphorylation of AOPCP, the ATP analog AOPCPOP was a poor substrate for the ATP-Pi exchange reaction and its hydrolysis was neither stimulated by light and dithiothreitol nor inhibited by Dio-9. Photophosphorylation of AOPCP was inhibited by the alpha,beta- and beta,gamma-substituted methylene analogs of ATP, while phosphorylation of ADP was unaffected by them. The ATP-Pi exchange was also unaffected by both ATP analogs, while the weak AOPCPOP-Pi exchange was inhibited by the beta,gamma-methylene analog of ATP. Direct interaction of methylene analogs with the chloroplast coupling factor ATPase was indicated by the enzymatic hydrolysis of AOPCPOP on polyacrylamide gels.

The purpose of the present investigation was to shed some light on the suppression of the glycolytic pathway by anesthetics. The antimetabolite 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) was used to discriminate between the key enzymes hexokinase and phosphofructokinase which are suggested to be involved in the effect of anesthetics on glycolysis. The cerebral energy metabolism was studied in the isolated perfused rat brain after the addition of thiopental (0.15 mM) to the perfusion medium, after the administration of 6-AN (35mg/kg i.p.) to the intact animals 15 h before perfusion was started, as well as in brain preparations treated in the same manner with both 6-AN and thiopental. After a perfusion period of 30 min brain levels of the following substrates and metabolites were determined: phosphocreatine, ATP, ADP, AMP, glycogen, glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, pyruvate, lactate, alpha-ketoglutarate, blutamate, ammonia, and 6-phosphogluconate. The metabolic alterations in the isolated rat brain caused by 6-AN or thiopental were such as reported in the literature. When the isolated brains of the 6-AN pretreated rats were perfused with thiopental we found as the most interesting result that the concentration of glucose 6-phosphate was reduced in comparison to that in brains only treated with 6-AN but still significantly higher than that in controls. The glucose concentration was significantly elevated and the lactate concentration decreased considerably. The effect of thiopental on cerebral glycolysis was interpreted as an inhibition of hexokinase activity.

Administration of 60,000 i.e. of vitamin A into rats within three weeks caused an increase in amount of reticulocytes, in the rate of glucose utilization and in formation of lactic acid by erythrocytes. The activity of glycolytic enzymes was intensified. The activity of hexokinase was increased by 84.6%, activities of aldolase and phosphohexoisomerase were increased by 34%. But in the erythrocytes content of AMP, ADP and ATP was unaltered, probably due to activation of total and Na+, K+-dependent ATPase. The harmful effect of an excess of the vitamin A was manifested in an increased content of Na+ in erythrocytes and also in decreased stability of the cells to acid hemolytics.

The influence of clofibrate on the glycolytic pathway in liver was studied. The changes in the activity of glucokinase and hexokinase were not significant. A reduction of phosphofructokinase (p less than 0.05) and pyruvate kinase activity was found (p less than 0.0005) during clofibrate feeding. An in vitro inhibition of these enzymes could not be demonstrated by clofibrate up to a concentration of 2.5 mM. Crossover plots of glycolytic intermediates indicate that the reduced pyruvate kinase activity may influence the glycolytic pathway in vivo. Clofibrate feeding induces a lower ATP:ADP ratio, a lower adenylate energy charge and elevates AMP levels in rat liver. This may possibly stimulate the hepatic glycogenolysis and the glucose utilisation by this organ.

Techniques are described for studying the labeling of ADP and ATP bound to the ATP synthase complex of beef heart submitochondrial particles catalyzing oxidative phosphorylation. These suffice for measurements of bound nucleotides during the time required for a single turnover, during steady state net ATP synthesis, or under quasiequilibrium conditions of ATP formation and hydrolysis. Results show that the "tightly bound" ATP associated with isolated submitochondrial particles does not become labeled by medium [32P]Pi rapidly enough to qualify as an intermediate in ATP synthesis. In contrast to chloroplast preparations, little or no bound [32P]Pi committed to ATP formation is present on particles during steady state synthesis. Also, highly active particles synthesizing ATP from [32P]Pi and filtered after EDTA addition have no detectable bound [32P]ATP even though several ATPs have been made per synthase complex. However, under quasiequilibrium conditions membrane-bound ADP and ATP are present whose labeling characteristics qualify them as intermediates in ATP synthesis. In addition, a hexokinase-accessibility approach shows the presence of a steady level of bound ATP. Lack of detection of bound intermediates under other conditions is regarded as reflecting the ready reversibility of oxidative phosphorylation, with consequent facile cleavage of bound ATP and release of bound Pi.

The relationship between intra- and extramitochondrial ATP utilization was investigated in liver mitochondria isolated from normally fed, starved and high-protein fed rats. ATP export was provoked by adding a hexokinase-glucose-trap and intramitochondrial ATP consumption by adding ammonia, bicarbonate and ornithine in order to stimulate citrulline synthesis. Both processes compete for ATP produced via oxidative phosphorylation; the rate of citrulline formation declines as the extramitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] ratio decreases. It is concluded that ATP for adenine nucleotide translocation and that for carbamoyl phosphate synthesis are delivered from a common intramitochondrial pool of adenine nucleotides. In mitochondria from rats with a high-protein diet, citrulline synthesis greatly stimulates the rate of oxidative phosphorylation (about two thirds of state 3 respiration). Under these conditions the intramitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] ratio is significantly reduced. The intramitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] ratio is not in thermodynamic equilibrium with the extramitochondrial one.

5-Acetyl-4-methyl-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-imidazole-5'-phosphate reacts with diphenylphospho chloridate forming the asymmetrical pyrophosphate ester. This in turn reacts with tri-n-butyl-ammonium phosphate yielding 5-acetyl-4-methyl-imidazole-riboside-5'-diphosphate and with tri-n-butylammonium pyrophosphate to give the nucleotide triphosphate. 5-Acetyl-4-methyl-imidazole-riboside-5'-pyrophosphate shows in the test with pyruvate kinase a reaction rate three times slower than that of ADP; but the same Km as that of ADP. The ATP analogue is only about 10% as effective as ATP itself in the test with hexokinase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and gloconate kinase. Adenylate kinase and NAD" kinase show no activity when ATP is replaced by the nucleotide-triphosphate-analogue. In presence of ATP the analogue strongly inhibits the reaction of adenylate kinase.

1. The mechanism by which insulin activates pyruvate dehydrogenase in rat epididymal adipose tissue was further investigated. 2. When crude extracts, prepared from tissue segments previously exposed to insulin (2m-i.u/ml) for 2min, were supplemented with Mg-2+, Ca-2+, glucose and hexokinase and incubated at 30 degrees C, they displayed an enhanced rate of increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity compared with control extracts. 3. When similar extracts were instead supplemented with fluoride, ADP, creatine phosphate and creatine kinase, the rate of decrease in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity observed during incubation at 30 degrees C was unaffected by insulin treatment. 4. It is suggested that insulin increases the fraction of pyruvate dehydrogenase present in the tissue in the active dephospho form by increasing the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphate phosphatase.
