The ability of five nucleotides in the presence of excess divalent cations to inhibit UDPglucuronosyltransferase in sealed or leaky liver microsomal vesicles was studied. Two nucleotides inhibited potently while three others were weak inhibitors. At low concentration, both of the potent inhibitors, uridine tri- and diphosphates tended to inhibit more in sealed microsomal vesicles than in leaky microsomes, while the weak inhibitors, uridine diphosphate glucose and adenosine triphosphate behaved in the opposite manner and inhibited less in sealed than in leaky microsomes. At physiological concentrations of UDPglucuronic acid (0.4 mM) quite extensive inhibition of oestradiol glucuronidation could be achieved with physiological concentrations of uridine tri- or diphosphates (0.2 or 0.4 mM). In sealed or leaky microsomes, beta, gamma-methylene-interrupted uridine triphosphate, which is resistant to hydrolysis by nucleoside triphosphatase, inhibited much less than did uridine triphosphate.

Preneoplastic liver lesions were produced in female Wistar rats by oral administration of 2-acetylaminofluorene for 165 days succeeded by a carcinogen-free standard diet up to 420 days. During the treatment numerous altered hepatic foci (AHF) and hyperplastic nodules (HN) were detected histochemically by a focal decrease or lack of adenosine-5-triphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) activities. In addition, the immunohistochemically demonstrable amount of L-type pyruvate kinase was clearly reduced. The histochemically demonstrated decrease of G-6-Pase was substantiated by microbiochemical determination of the enzyme activity in microdissected material. Moreover, during the experimental period a continuous decrease in glucokinase and an increase in hexokinase was detected microbiochemically within AHF and HN. These alterations indicate a shift in the carbohydrate metabolism from gluconeogenesis to glucose utilization and pentose-phosphate-pathway for biosynthesis of nucleic acids. Beside other oncofetal markers, HK may be used as indicator of the early stages of liver carcinogenesis.

The effects of six weeks treatment with multiple i.p. doses of citrinin (15, 25 and 35 mg/kg) on some hormonal activities and on enzymes and substrates of the Embden--Meyerhof pathway in mice were studied. Adenosine triphosphatase, hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, lactic acid and pyruvic acid decreased in blood, liver, kidney and brain of citrinin-treated mice. Glucose levels in blood, kidney and brain increased and glycogen content of liver decreased. Cortisol, triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels of serum increased, but insulin levels decreased.

Studies of the relationship between yield coefficient and growth rate, as affected by temperature of growth, in Escherichia coli have shown that, over a wide range of temperature, yield is relatively constant until the specific growth rate falls below about 0.2 hr(-1), at which point the yield begins to fall off precipitously. No intermediates of glucose metabolism in a form utilizable at higher temperatures could be found in the medium, and no toxic product was produced which limited growth. At 10 C, 37% of the carbon from glucose-UL-(14)C was assimilated into cellular material, whereas, at 30 C, 53% was assimilated. Cells grown at 10 C contained more carbohydrate than did cells grown at 37 C, and the glycogen-to-protein ratio of cells grown at 10 C was approximately three times higher than that of cells grown at 37 C. Adenosine triphosphatase activities of cells grown at 10 and 35 C were similar. Growth rates on glucose, glycerol, and succinate were quite similar at 10 C, but at 35 C growth was most rapid on glucose and slowest on succinate. The data suggest that the decrease in yield with decrease in temperature is a result of uncoupling of energy production from energy utilization.

Diethylnitrosamine was injected to Sprague-Dawley rats after a partial hepatectomy, and enzyme histochemistry analysis was made after 35 weeks in the preneoplastic liver. The areas and volumes of the induced enzyme-deficient islands were calculated for glucose-6-triphosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, and 5'-nucleotidase. The preneoplastic enzyme-deficient zones showed also an increased incorporation of tritiated thymidine.

The relationship between progression of neurological status and the activities of both Na+,K(+)- and Mg(2+)-dependent-ATPase (adenosine 5'-triphosphate phosphohydrolase) was investigated in brain regions of pyrithiamine-induced thiamine deficient rats. Thalamic Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity was selectively increased by 200% (P < 0.01) prior to the appearance of symptoms of thiamine deficiency and normalized in symptomatic rats. This selective transitory activation precludes a mediation by brain soluble fraction Na+,K(+)-ATPase modifiers as does the unaltered distribution in regional high-affinity [3H]ouabain binding densities observed throughout the time-course used in these experiments. Na+,K(+)-ATPase maintains cellular ionic gradients and has been implicated in neurotransmitter uptake and release mechanisms. The fact that the increased thalamic Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity coincides with the early alterations in serotonin metabolism observed in similarly treated animals and the concomitantly early increase in glucose utilization previously observed in the thalamus of thiamine-deficient rats is discussed.

We investigated whether Rab5, a small guanosine triphosphatase that regulates early endocytic transport in different cell types is involved in the insulin-regulated endocytic pathways in adipocytes. Rab5 was detected in freshly isolated adipocytes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes, but its expression level was not markedly increased with adipocyte differentiation. After subcellular fractionation of adipocytes incubated in the absence of insulin, Rab5 was found to be abundant in plasma membrane and cytosol, but was also present in high and low density microsomes. This subcellular distribution was compatible with a role in early endocytosis. When cells were incubated with insulin, the concentration of Rab5 decreased by about 50% in the internal compartments. In contrast to Rab4, which also leaves the low density microsomes in response to insulin, Rab5 was not found in Glut4-containing vesicles purified by immunoadsorption on antibodies to Glut4. When adipocytes were treated with wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, the effect of insulin on Rab5 movement was not affected, whereas the insulin-induced movements of Rab4 and Glut4 were abolished. In parallel, wortmannin inhibited the increase in horseradish peroxidase uptake induced by insulin, an index of fluid phase endocytosis, but did not prevent the endocytosis of the glucose transporters. As a whole, our results suggest that Rab5 is not involved in insulin-stimulated Glut4 exocytosis. These results are compatible with the postulated role of Rab5 in the endocytotic pathway, at a step that does not require phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase activation.

Insulin's stimulation of glucose transport involves the translocation of vesicles containing the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. Small GTP-binding proteins have been implicated in the regulation of vesicular traffic. We studied the effects of microinjection of wild-type Rab4 glutathione S-transferase fusion protein (WT Rab4), a GTP-binding defective mutant (Rab4 N121I), a guanosine triphosphatase-defective mutant (Rab4 Q67L), and a Rab4 antibody on insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Microinjection of Rab4 N121I and Rab4 antibodies had no effect on basal GLUT4 staining, but inhibited insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation by 50% compared with that in control IgG-injected cells. WT Rab4 and Rab4 Q67L microinjection had no effect on either basal or insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation. Premixing and coinjection of the Rab4 antibody with WT Rab4 almost completely abolished its inhibitory effect on insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation. In contrast, microinjection of an antibody directed against the highly conserved region of Rab3 proteins had no effect on insulin-induced GLUT4. These results point to a direct role of Rab4 in insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation, and that this effect is dependent on nucleotide binding to the protein. We also studied the effect of microinjection of the same proteins on insulin-induced actin filament rearrangement (membrane ruffling) in the same cell line. Microinjection of Rab4 N121I and Rab4 antibodies inhibited insulin-induced membrane ruffling by 40%, whereas WT Rab4 or a Rab3 antibody injection had no effect on cytoskeletal rearrangement. In summary, 1) Rab4 is a necessary component of the insulin/GLUT4 translocation signaling pathway; 2) the function of Rab4 in this pathway requires GTP binding; 3) Rab4 also participates in the process of insulin-induced membrane ruffling; and 4) Rab3 proteins do not seem to be involved in these processes.

Campbell, J. J. R. (The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada), Loretta A. Hogg, and G. A. Strasdine. Enzyme distribution in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J. Bacteriol. 83:1155-1160. 1962.-Previous studies on the distribution of enzymes in bacteria have indicated that, although individual enzymes were predominantly associated with a particular cellular structure, nevertheless some of the enzyme appeared to be present in all cellular fractions. In the present work with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it was shown that, in general, an enzyme is present in only one cellular component. Hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, gluconic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, fumarase, isocitric dehydrogenase, isocitritase, and catalase were detected only in the soluble cytoplasm of the cell. Glucose oxidase and succinic dehydrogenase were detected only in the "ghost" fraction. Diphosphopyridine nucleotide oxidase was present in both "ghost" and ribosomal fractions but was most concentrated in the "ghost". Although adenylic kinase was found to be present in all fractions, it was possible to fractionate cells so that almost all of the activity was associated with the soluble cytoplasm a minor amount being associated with the "ghost." Adenosine triphosphatase was most concentrated in the "ghost" but appreciable activity appeared in the cytoplasm. Polynucleotide phosphorylase appeared to be the only enzyme that was convincingly associated with the ribosomes. However, a small amount of activity was associated with the soluble cytoplasm and with the "ghosts."

1. Glycolysis by the supernatant fraction of homogenates of liver from guinea pigs and rats at various stages of development (foetal, newborn and adult) has been examined in a suitably fortified medium by measurement of inorganic phosphate uptake and production of lactate and glycerol 1-phosphate. 2. Starting with glucose as substrate, two rate-determining steps in glycolysis occur at the stages of glucose phosphorylation and the phosphofructokinase reaction in liver tissue from animals of all ages. Effects of the post-natal development of glucokinase are recorded. 3. The appearance of microsomal glucose 6-phosphatase activity around birth has an effect on glycolysis owing to competition for glucose 6-phosphate. 4. A stimulating effect of the nuclear fraction, especially from foetal liver, on glycolysis by the supernatant fraction is interpreted as being due to stimulation by adenosine-triphosphatase activity at the 3-phosphoglycerate-kinase stage.
