Cell-free extracts of two strictly anaerobic mollicutes, Anaeroplasma intermedium 5LA and Asteroleplasma anaerobium 161T, were tested for enzymic activities of intracellular carbohydrate metabolism. Asteroleplasma anaerobium was also tested for enzymes of purine and pyrimidine metabolism. Both organisms had enzymic activities associated with the nonoxidative portion of the pentose phosphate pathway, and with the Embden-Meyerhoff-Parnas pathway. The 6-phosphofructokinase (PFK) of Asteroleplasma anaerobium was ATP-dependent, whereas the PFK of Anaeroplasma intermedium was PPi-dependent. The two anaerobic mollicutes also differed with respect to the enzymes that converted phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate; Anaeroplasma intermedium had pyruvate kinase activity, but Asteroleplasma anaerobium had pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase activity (PPi-dependent). Both organisms had lactate dehydrogenase activity which was activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-1,6-P2). Anaeroplasma intermedium had activity for PEP carboxykinase (activated by Fru-1,6-P2), but Asteroleplasma anaerobium did not. PEP carboxytransphosphorylase activity was not detected in either organism. Anaeroplasma intermedium had malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities, but it had no activities for the three other tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes examined; Asteroleplasma anaerobium had malate dehydrogenase activity only. Asteroleplasma anaerobium had enzymic activities for the interconversion of purine nucleobases, (deoxy)ribonucleosides, and (deoxy)ribomononucleotides, including PPi-dependent nucleoside kinase, reported heretofore only in some other mollicutes. Asteroleplasma anaerobium could synthesize dTDP by the thymine salvage pathway if deoxyribose 1-phosphate was provided, and it had dUTPase, ATPase, and dCMP kinase activities. It lacked (deoxy)cytidine deaminase, dCMP deaminase, and deoxycytidine kinase activities.

In Escherichia coli, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is regulated by reversible phosphorylation. The bifunctional enzyme which catalyzes this phosphorylation cycle, IDH kinase/phosphatase, also exhibits a specific ATPase activity. Mutant derivatives of this protein which are nearly devoid of IDH phosphatase activity retain both IDH kinase and ATPase activity, indicating that ATP hydrolysis does not result from the cyclic phosphorylation of IDH. However, the IDH kinase and ATPase activities of these mutant proteins differ significantly from those of the wild-type IDH kinase/phosphatase expressed from the parental allele. This observation suggest that IDH kinase and IDH phosphatase do not reside on structurally independent domains. In contrast to many enzymes which catalyze kinetically unfavorable side reactions, the maximum velocity of the ATPase substantially exceeded those of IDH kinase and IDH phosphatase. ATP hydrolysis was only partially inhibited by phospho- and dephospho-IDH, with saturating levels of phospho-IDH decreasing the rate of ATP hydrolysis by a factor of approximately 5. Even in the presence of near-saturating concentrations of phospho-IDH, the rate of ATP hydrolysis was 4-fold greater than the rate of the cyclic phosphorylation of IDH.

The stoichiometry of nucleotide binding to the isolated alpha- and beta-subunits of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase was investigated using two experimental techniques: (a) titration with fluorescent trinitrophenyl (TNP) derivatives of AMP, ADP, and ATP and (b) the centrifuge column procedure using the particular conditions of Khananshvili and Gromet-Elhanan (Khananshvili, D., and Gromet-Elhanan, Z. (1985) FEBS Lett. 178, 10-14). Both procedures showed that alpha-subunit contains one nucleotide-binding site, confirming previous work. TNP-ADP and TNP-ATP bound to a maximal level of 1 mol/mol beta-subunit, consistent with previous equilibrium dialysis studies which showed isolated beta-subunit bound 1 mol of ADP or ATP per mol (Issartel, J. P., and Vignais, P. V. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 6591-6595). However, binding of only approximately 0.1 mol of ATP or ADP per mol of beta-subunit was detected using centrifuge columns. Our results are consistent with the conclusion that each of the alpha- and beta-subunits contains one nucleotide-binding domain. Because the subunit stoichiometry is alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon, this can account for the location of the six known nucleotide-binding sites in E. coli F1-ATPase. Studies of in vitro assembly of isolated alpha-, beta-, and gamma- subunits into an active ATPase showed that ATP, GTP, and ITP all supported assembly, with half-maximal reconstitution of ATPase occurring at concentrations of 100-200 microM, whereas ADP, GDP, and IDP did not. Also TNP-ATP supported assembly and TNP-ADP did not. The results demonstrate that (a) the nucleotide-binding site on beta-subunit has to be filled for enzyme assembly to proceed, whereas occupancy of the alpha-subunit nucleotide-binding site is not required, and (b) that enzyme assembly requires nucleoside triphosphate.

In order to elucidate the problem of which cells are involved in calcium transport and to estimate the role of mitochondria in calcium transport in the avian shell gland, the fine structure and the Ca-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD+-ICDH) activity of the shell gland of egg-laying Japanese quails were examined. The surface epithelial cells, consisting of ciliated cells with cilia and microvilli and non-ciliated cells with microvilli, had many large and electron-dense granules. The tubular-gland cells occupied the proprial layer and lacked secretory granules. When an egg was in the shell gland, the well-developed mitochondria of tubular-gland cells characteristically tended to accumulate in the apical cytoplasm, while they were scattered throughout the cytoplasm when an egg was not in the shell gland. Intense Ca-ATPase activity was found on the microvilli of tubular-gland cells, and moderate activity was found on the lateral-cell surface. In the surface epithelial cells, the basolateral cell surface showed moderate enzymatic activity. Both SDH and NAD+-ICDH activity were found in tubular-gland cells when an egg was in the shell gland. These results strongly suggest that calcium for eggshell calcification is actively transported by the tubular-gland (depending on Ca-ATPase activity) and that the mitochondria of gland cells may play an important role in this process as an energy source.

ATPase activities were measured in 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM ATP, 1 mM ADP, and 1 microM FCCP with submitochondrial particles from bovine heart that had been stimulated by delta mu H+-forming substrates and with particles whose natural inhibitor protein was partially removed by heating. The activities were not linear with time. With both particles, the rate of ATP hydrolysis in the 7-fold greater than that in the steady state. Pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetic studies showed that the decrease of ATPase activity was due to the binding of ADP in a high-affinity site of the enzyme (K0.5 of 10 microM). Inhibition of ATP hydrolysis was accompanied by the binding of approximately 1 mol of ADP/mol of particulate F1; 10 microM ADP gave half-maximal binding. ADP could be replaced by IDP, but with an affinity 50-fold lower (K0.5 of 0.5 mM). Maximal inhibition by ADP and IDP was achieved in less than 5 s. Inhibition was enhanced by uncouplers. Even in the presence of pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate, the rates of hydrolysis were about 2.5-fold higher in the first seconds of reaction than in the steady state. This decrease of ATPase activity also correlated with the binding of nearly 1 mol of ADP/mol of F1. This inhibitory ADP remained bound to the enzyme after several thousand turnovers. Apparently, it is possible to observe maximal rates of hydrolysis only in the first few catalytic cycles of the enzyme.

With an aim to investigate the relative sensitivity of various renal structures to allograft rejection, we analyzed the histochemical reaction intensity of seven enzymes prominently displayed in various rat kidney components, and correlated the expression of these enzymes both to the degree of intra-graft inflammation and to the expression of class II MHC antigens in graft capillary endothelial cells. Syngeneic transplants and normal renal tissue were used as controls. At the peak of inflammation, on the fifth day after transplantation, adenosine triphosphatase activity of vascular endothelial cells was strongly reduced in the peritubular capillary endothelium of the allograft, moderately in the glomerular endothelium but very little in the endothelium of arteries and veins. Lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities were moderately reduced in the proximal tubular cells of the allograft and even less in the distal tubular cells. The results suggest that the prime target of the host immune attack is the intertubular capillary endothelium, whereas the distal tubular cells are relatively insensitive to immune injury.

Within the uterine glands, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that the activities of G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, and cytochrome oxidase increase within secreting cells during the 2nd half of pregnancy. The activities of the other enzymes remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. The description of our results distinguishes between gland neck, middle, and distal part of the secretory unit, respectively. In general, the enzyme activities are similar within the middle and distal gland segments, but lower in the epithelia of the neck region. The activity of dehydrogenases was medium to intensive within the middle and distal gland segments, but only low to medium within the neck portion. Of the hydrolases, the acid phosphatase, ATPase, leucine aminopeptidase, and beta-galactosidase demonstrated an intensive activity within activity secreting cells. The enzyme activities of the gland epithelia are compared with these of the uterine surface epithelia and the histochemical results are discussed in context with their significance in histiotrophic nutrition.

Changes in carbohydrate metabolism were studied in midgut gland, muscle, and gill tissues of marine prawn Penaeus indicus exposed to a sublethal concentration (0.3 ppm) of phosphamidon. A significant decrease in glycogen and pyruvate and an increase in lactate content were observed in all phosphamidon-exposed prawn tissues after 96 hr. An increase in phosphorylase a and aldolase activity levels suggested the increased formation of triose sugars during phosphamidon toxicity. LDH activity was considerably decreased and an increment in lactate content was observed which indicates reduced mobilization of pyruvate into the citric acid cycle. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was considerably increased, suggesting the enhanced oxidation of glucose in the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway. Krebs cycle enzymes such as NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase were found to be decreased, suggesting the impairment in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism due to the acute toxic impact of phosphamidon. Cytochrome-c oxidase and Mg2+ ATPase activity levels were also decreased considerably, suggesting impaired energy synthesis and breakdown during phosphamidon toxicity, as a result of reduced oxidation of glucose aerobically. The increase in acid and alkaline phosphatase activities indicates the enhanced breakdown of phosphate to release energy in view of inhibiton or impairment in the ATPase system during phosphamidon-induced stress. These results suggest that phosphamidon has a profound effect on the oxidative metabolism of prawn which results in the triggering of compensatory metabolic pathways for survivability.

In porcine areolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, nonspecific esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Of the dehydrogenases, the diaphorases as well as succinate and lactate dehydrogenase demonstrated generally an intensive activity within the epithelia. The activity of the other dehydrogenases was only low. The activity of unspecific esterase was very intensive within the uterine epithelia but remarkably low within chorionic epithelia. Contrarily, the reaction of adenosine triphosphatase was more intensive within chorionic than uterine epithelia. All investigated glucosidases reacted distinctly positive within chorionic epithelia, but only beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase and beta-galactosidase in uterine epithelia. The high activity of acid phosphatase, especially within the chorionic epithelium, seems to be connected with uteroferrin, an iron-binding protein. The histochemical results are discussed in context with the function of the areolae in histiotrophic nutrition and iron transport.

Fetuses were decapitated in one uterine horn in each of 14 sows at 45 d of gestation. Control (C) and decapitated (D) fetuses were removed by Caesarean section from three sows at 65 d of gestation (total of 10 D and 10 C fetuses), two sows at 85 d (six D and six C fetuses) and nine sows at 110 d (nine C and nine D fetuses) of gestation (Exp. 1). In Exp. 2, four to six fetuses were removed from each of two Ossabaw (O) gilts and three crossbred (C, Landrace X Yorkshire) gilts at 70 d of gestation, from three C and O gilts at 90 d of gestation and from three C and two O gilts at 110 d of gestation. In Exp. 1, one semitendinosis muscle was removed for histochemistry, whereas the contralateral muscle was removed and weighed. A medial portion of biceps femoris muscle was removed and used for histochemistry in Exp. 2. In both experiments, transverse sections (cryostat) of muscle were stained for lipid, glycogen (PAS) and the following enzymes: acid ATPase, NADH-TR, NADPH-TR, malate dehydrogenase (NAD- and NADP-dependent reactions; MDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (with and without NAD; alpha-GPDH), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent; ICDH), esterase, lipoprotein lipase and lipase. In Exp. 1, body and muscle weights of the two groups were not significantly different (P greater than .05) at 65 d of gestation, whereas D fetuses were smaller and had lighter weight muscles (P less than .05) at 85 d of gestation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
