1. Glutamate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase solubilized from liver microsomes were able to rebind to microsomal vesicles while the corresponding dehydrogenases extracted from mitochondria showed no affinity for microsomes. 2. Competition was noticed between microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase and microsomal malate dehydrogenase in the binding to microsomal membranes. Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase or bovine serum albumin did not inhibit the binding of microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase to microsomes. 3. Binding of microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase to microsomal membranes decreased when microsomes was preincubated with trypsin. 4. Rough microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase was more efficiently bound to rough microsomes than smooth microsomes. Conversely, smooth microsomal glutamate dehydrogenase had higher affinity for smooth microsomes than for rough microsomes. 5. A difference was noticed among the glutamate dehydrogenase isolated from rough and smooth microsomes, and from mitochondria, which suggested the possibility of minor post-translational modification of enzyme molecules in the transport from the site of synthesis to mitochondria.

Twelve 10-substituted hydrazonoacetyl phenothiazines were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their antihemolytic, antiproteolytic and anticonvulsant properties. The degree of protection of the in vitro hypoosmotic hemolysis of human red blood cells by these compounds ranged from 30-65%, at a final concentration of 1 mM. All phenothiazine derivatives (1 mM) possessed antiproteolytic activity which was reflected by 25-71% protection observed with these compounds against in vitro trypsin-induced hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin. These compounds at a dose of 100 mg/kg provided 20-80% protection against pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions in mice. All phenothiazine derivatives possessed low toxicity which was reflected by their approximate LD50 values ranging from 500- greater than 1000 mg/kg.

Bilirubin can be coupled covalently to albumin by using water-soluble carbodi-imide as coupling reagent. The optimal specificity in the attachment of bilirubin to the high-affinity site on the albumin molecule was obtained by treating an albumin-bilirubin complex with carbodi-imide in low concentrations and for a short period. The product was reduced, carboxymethylated and digested with trypsin. By fractionation on Sephadex G-50 (superfine grade) a peptide fraction containing most of the bilirubin label was isolated. Further purification by paper chromatography gave one peptide, consisting of residues 240-258. The peptide containined a single lysine residue, 240, and had an intact disulphide bridge. The results indicate that bilirubin is bound to lysine residue 240 at its high-affinity site on human serum albumin.

The rate of proteolytic degradation of rabbit skeletal muscle actin by trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and, mainly, subtilisin was followed by dual wavelength spectroscopy at 285 nm by reference at 320 nm. Phalloidin and phallacidin, two toxic bicyclic heptapeptides from the mushroom Amanita phalloides, protect F-actin against degradation by the proteolytic enzymes. G-actin, which does not combine with phalloidin when maintained in the monomeric state by working at low ionic strength, and bovine serum albumin, which also has no affinity to the toxin, are hydrolyzed at the same rates in the presence or absence of phalloidin. The proteolysis of F-actin is distinctly retarded by KCl alone, i.e., without phalloidin, whereas Mg2+ or Ca2+ as sole cations permit a rather high rate of hydrolysis. An even faster degradation of F-actin by subtilisin is observed in the presence of Mg2+ plus cytochalasin B. Adenosine diphosphate and triphosphate have no influence on the rate of the enzymatic degradation. The S sulfoxide of phalloidin, the nontoxic diastereomer of the toxic R form, exerts only a limited inhibitory effect on the enzymatic hydrolysis; secophalloidin, another nontoxic derivative, which does not bind to F-actin has practically no effect.

Eight 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-5-arylamino1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized, characterized by their sharp melting points, elemental analyses, and IR spectra, and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. The protection afforded by oxadiazoles (100 mg/kg ip) against pentylenetetrazol (90 mg/kg sc)-induced convulsions ranged from 50 to 80%. All oxadiazoles inhibited the respiratory activity of rat brain homogenates during oxidation of pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and succinate. The presence of added nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to the reaction mixture during oxidation of pyruvate decreased the degree of inhibition. All oxadiazoles possessed antiproteolytic activity that was reflected by their ability to decrease trypsin-induced hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin. Such an inhibition was concentration dependent and ranged from 10.2 to 47.5 and from 15.7 to 71.8% by 0.5 and 1 mM oxadiazoles, respectively. All oxadiazoles competitively inhibited in vitro succinate dehydrogenase activity of rat brain homogenates.

A method for the enrichment of live thyrotrophic pituitary cells is described. Pituitary glands of young male rats were removed into Earle's solution and dispersed in a 0.1% trypsin solution containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin, pH 7.2. Nylon fibres (25 microgram) were used for the separation of the thyrotrophic cells, by stringing them across a plastic frame which fitted a plastic Petri dish containing the cell suspension. The fibres were washed with light petroleum (b.p. 60--80 degree C) and carbon tetrachloride, hydrolysed with 3 M-HCL for 30 min at room temperature and washed with distilled water and phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.2). The fibres were treated with thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) alone or in the presence of soluble carbodiimide solution. After incubation for 1 h at room temperature, the fibres were transferred to a new Earle's medium and cells were released from the fibres by plucking them with a needle. The separated thyrotrophic cells were identified by radioimmunoassay and by electron microscopy. Using the above-mentioned methods, enrichment of thyrotrophic cells was obtained. Thus, the amounts of TSH, prolactin, LH and GH released, during 2 h of incubation, by 1.5 x 10(6) unseparated cells were 6.8 +/- 0.65, 4.1 +/- 0.47, 4.8 +/- 0.52 and 5.2 +/- 0.68 microgram respectively, while the same number of purified thyrotrophic cells released 76.1 +/- 0.42, 1.2 +/- 0.3, 0.6 +/- 0.35 and 1.6 +/- 0.22 microgram of the same hormones (means +/- S.E.M.).

Ten 2-[acyl-N-(substituted benzylidene)hydrazino]5-phenyltetrazoles were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory and antiproteolytic activity. The protection afforded by these tetrazoles at a dose of 100 mg/kg i.p., against carrageenin-induced edema in rats, ranged from 11 to 46%. Oxyphenbutazone (40 mg/kg i.p.), and hydrocortisone (10 mg/kg i.p.), used as reference drugs, exhibited protection of 54 and 47%, respectively. The antiproteolytic activity of these tetrazoles, as reflected by their ability to inhibit trypsin-induced hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin, ranged from 17 to 57%. The antiproteolytic activity was found to be unrelated to the anti-inflammatory activity possessed by these tetrazoles.

Purified rat serum albumin was resolved into five forms by polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing, while albumin isolated from the subcellular fractions of rat liver consisted of those of serum albumin and four additional forms. This latter four forms were identified as proalbumin, since they were converted to those of serum albumin by limited proteolysis with trypsin. This method was applied to the determination of the conversion site of proalbumin in the liver, revealing that substantial conversion of proalbumin occurs in the Golgi cisternae as well as in the secretory vesicles.

Eight 5-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3-arylaminomethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones were synthesized, characterized by their sharp melting points, elemental analyses, and IR spectra, and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. All substituted oxadiazole-2-thiones possessed anticonvulsant activity, which was reflected by their ability to provide 10--70% protection against pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions in mice at 100 mg/kg ip. These compounds inhibited in vitro nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent oxidation of pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and NADH by rat brain homogenates as well as NAD-independent oxidation of succinate by rat brain homogenates. Antiproteolytic activity of these substituted oxadiazole-2-thiones was reflected by their ability to inhibit trypsin hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin. These results indicated that the inhibition of cellular respiration and antiproteolytic activity of these substituted oxadiazole-2-thiones is not the biochemical basis for their anticonvulsant activity.

Exocrine pancreatic secretion was studied in 9 patas monkeys before and during protein depletion, and in 4 of them also during recovery from protein depletion. Pancreatic function was estimated by measuring enzymatic activities in the duodenal contents after a test meal and by determination of urinary excretion of p-aminobenzoic acid (pancreatic function test) after oral ingestion of the chymotrypsin-labile peptide N-benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid. The average serum albumin dropped by 34.8% to 2.6 g per 100 ml. Significant decrease of trypsin, lipase, amylase, and chymotrypsin was observed in the duodenal samples during protein deficiency. Urinary excretion of p-aminobenzoic acid was also reduced significantly. The two tests correlated well. In 3 of 4 animals, recovery of pancreatic function was noted after refeeding a full protein diet. Pancreatic atrophy was noted in 2 animals which died. The study shows that exocrine pancreatic secretion can be seriously impaired even at a moderate protein deficiency and may not be reversibly in all instances. Therefore, function tests have to be evaluated with caution when hypoproteinemia, i.e., hypoalbuminemia, is present.
