The sulfenic acid form of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), which is an acyl phosphatase, will catalyze an acetyl phosphate-Pi exchange reaction. This exchange reaction is reversibly inhibited by the uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, 2,4-dinitrophenol, m-Cl carbonylcyanide-phenylhydrazone, pentachlorophenol, and 5-chloro-3-tert-butyl-2'-chloro-4'-nitrosalicylanalide, and is irreversibly inhibited by cyanide and dicumarol. An ATP-Pi exchange reaction similar to that catalyzed by mitochondria can be simulated by a system composed of oxidized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.1.28), 3-phosphoglycerate, ATP, (32)Pi, and appropriate cofactors. The ATP-Pi exchange is inhibited by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. Higher concentrations of uncouplers will also inhibit the ATPase reaction catalyzed by the coupled enzyme system. The exchange reactions catalyzed by the sulfenic acid form of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate are consistent with a sulfenyl carboxylate intermediate. On the basis of these observations, a reaction scheme has been postulated for covalent coupling in oxidative phosphorylation that includes a sulfenyl carboxylate as a nonphosphorylated, high energy intermediate and an acyl phosphate as a phosphorylated, high energy intermediate.

Phosphorus-31 saturation transfer NMR techniques have been employed to measure the unidirectional Pi consumption rate by respiration competent suspensions of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae while the levels of ATP, ADP, and Pi are constant. These experiments are performed by saturating the ATP gamma phosphate resonance and observing the changes in the Pi resonance intensity while the yeast are respiring on endogenous substrates. The unidirectional Pi consumption rate is 3.5 +/- mumol s-1 (g of wet cells)-1. The rate is reduced 10-fold upon addition of oligomycin (80 micrograms/ML), suggesting that at least 90% of the Pi consumption activity is due to the mitochondrial F1-F0 ATPase. We have not been able to conclusively assign the remaining 10%. When the yeast are glycolyzing anaerobically, the unidirectional Pi consumption rate was 1.0 +/- 0.2 mumol s-1 (g of wet cells)-1. At most, 80% of this is due to Pi consumption by the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase leaving a residual activity of at least 0.2 mumol s-1 (g of wet cells)-1. Thus the activity in the oligomycin-inhibited cells under respiratory conditions and the nonglycolytic activity in anaerobic cells are equal to within the experimental errors. Furthermore the unidirectional rate of Pi consumption during anaerobic glycolysis is insensitive to oligomycin. These data suggest that the mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase is not turning over during anaerobic glycolysis. Possible explanations for this inhibition are discussed.

Damage to the plasma membrane of rabbit epididymal spermatozoa during spontaneous lipid peroxidation was examined by means of trypan blue uptake and expression of activity of the intracellular enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase. Both the dye uptake and the expression of enzyme activity probe cell damage from lipid peroxidation as loss of integrity of the plasma membrane. A linear correlation was obtained between trypan blue staining of the cells and malondialdehyde production, a quantifiable measure of the extent of lipid peroxidation. At the point of trypan blue staining of all cells, 0.5 nmol malondialdehyde/10(8) cells was produced. This is the same amount produced at the point of complete loss of motility and superoxide dismutase activity. We have defined this as the "lipoperoxidative lethal end point." Expression of lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase activities increased with time of aerobic incubation. In the high Na+ medium, NTP, in which lipid peroxidation is slow, there is a linear correlation between increase in expressed enzyme activities and malondialdehyde production. But in the high K+ medium, KTP, in which lipid peroxidation is rapid, there is an initial rapid rise in expressed enzyme activity over 3 h, followed by a slower increase. Activities of rabbit sperm lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, and flagellar ATPase were unaffected by aerobic incubations for up to 48 h, double the incubation period used for the assay of enzymatic activities for the first two. The activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase decreased during aerobic incubation, the time course matching the loss of motility. The subcellular distribution of lactate dehydrogenase in rabbit spermatozoa was determined: 4% in the mitochondrial matrix, 10% in the plasma membrane and 85% in the cytosolic compartment.

This study is designed to examine the participation of the major red cell membrane protein, band 3 protein, in the chain which transmits information from the cardiac glycoside site on the external face of the cell (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to the megadalton glycolytic enzyme complex within the cell. The experiments show that the anion transport inhibitor, 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid, affects the resonance of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, as does the cardiac glycoside cation transport inhibitor, ouabain. Resonance shifts induced by the cardiac glycoside alone are modulated by addition of the anion transport inhibitor which indicates that there is coupling in the red cell between the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and band 3 protein. Band 3 protein was separated from the membrane and partially purified following the technique of Yu and Steck ((1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 9170-9175). When glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was added to the separated band 3 protein preparation, addition of cardiac glycosides caused shifts in the 31P resonance of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. These experiments indicate that there is coupling between the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and band 3 protein in the separated preparation and suggest that the anion and cation transport systems may be closely related spatially and functionally in the intact red cell.

By double isotope pulse-labeling of yeast cells, we determined the kinetics of labeling at 9 degrees C of total mitochondrial membrane, mitochondrial matrix, and cytosolic proteins, the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits of F1 ATPase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. We find that none of the mitochondrial proteins show a lag in the incorporation of label compared to cytosolic proteins. These results argue against the existence in the cytosol of large pools of mitochondrial proteins awaiting transport into the organelle. Cycloheximide addition during the pulse stops [35S]methionine incorporation into mitochondrial membrane and cytosolic proteins rapidly (approximately 1 min) and with identical kinetics. Compared to cytosolic protein, however, there is a persistent incorporation of label into mitochondria after a chase with cold methionine (t1/2 approximately 1.5 min at 9 degrees C) which cannot be accounted for solely by chain completion. We conclude that this continued incorporation reflects some transport process in addition to a completion of a round of translation. When cells are labeled during a synchronous "restart" of protein synthesis, where ribosome run-off from mRNA was first induced either by incubating cells for 4 h at 0 degrees C or by treatment with 5 mM aurintricarboxylic acid, the initial rate of incorporation of label into mitochondrial protein now lags behind that of cytosolic proteins. From these results and those in the accompanying report (Ades, I.Z., and Butow, R.A. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 9918-9924) we propose that the translation of mRNA specific for mitochondrial proteins takes place in the cytoplasm and that at least a portion of the polysomes are then transported and bind to the outer mitochondrial membrane, followed by completion of translation and transfer of the newly synthesized polypeptides into the mitochondria. From a consideration of all of the available data on protein transport into mitochondria in yeast, we conclude that cytoplasmic polysomes bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane function in the transport of proteins into mitochondria by a process not necessarily mutually exclusive of post-translational transport.

Fibre characteristics and enzyme activities were determined for the gluteus, semitendinosus, vastus lateralis and triceps brachii muscles of 55 Standardbred trotters of different ages. Four fibre types (I, IIA, IIB, IIC) were demonstrated by histochemical staining of myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase after preincubation at different pH values. Type II fibres predominated in all the muscles and the type IIA/IIB ratio was higher in horses over 5 years than in younger horses, except in the vastus in which the IIA/IIB ratio did not change with age. The vastus had the highest proportion of type IIA fibres and the semitendinosus the highest proportion of type IIB fibres. Histochemical demonstration of NADH dehydrogenase disclosed that almost 100 per cent of the type IIA and many of the type I and IIB fibres were medium-stained; the remaining type I fibres were darkly stained and the type IIB fibres lightly stained. In older horses more fibres were stained for NADH dehydrogenase. The activity of triosephosphate dehydrogenase decreased that that of 3-hydroxy-acyl-coA dehydrogenase and citrate synthase increased in all the muscles except the vastus with increasing age. The greatest increase in oxidative capacity occurred in the gluteus and triceps. Training, rather than age, was regarded as the factor inducing these changes. The results emphasise that histochemical data are only semiquantitative, and there are apparent discrepancies in the intensities of histochemical staining and the biochemical evaluation of various enzymes.

The isoform composition and types of functioning of Na+,K(+)-ATPase complexes, as well as their ouabain-inhibition constants, were studied for calf brain membranes. The catalytic subunit alpha 3 within the native enzyme complex was found to exhibit an increased sensitivity to endogenous proteolysis. The site of specific proteolysis was localized in the region of the polypeptide chain that is unique for all alpha 3 type isoforms: PNDNR492 decreases (Y493) (according to the numeration of human alpha 3-subunit). It was shown for the first time that in all enzyme preparations containing the alpha 2 and alpha 3 isoforms isolated by both Jorgensen's and Esmann's method two other proteins were present: the beta 5 chain of tubulin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; the biological meaning of their association is still unclear.

Simplex optimization has generated several media that have improved the development of mouse preimplantation embryos in vitro. One objective of this study was to compare the development of preimplantation mouse embryos in one of these computer-optimized media, KSOM, with embryos that developed in vivo, in terms of the relative abundances of specific mRNAs involved in metabolism, transcription, and cell proliferation. First, however, since studies have indicated an improvement of other simple embryo culture media by addition of amino acids, the effects of the addition of amino acids to KSOM (KSOM/AA) on preimplantation development were assessed. We find that addition of both essential and nonessential amino acids to KSOM augments development in vitro, as compared to development supported by KSOM without amino acids. This augmentation is observed starting at the blastocyst stage, and is associated with increased rate of development to the blastocyst stage, increased frequency of hatching, and increased number of cells in the blastocysts. Reverse-transcription PCR was then used to assess the relative abundance of mRNAs for actin, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Na+, K(+)-ATPase, Sp1, TATA box-binding protein TBP, IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-I receptor, and IGF-II receptor in embryos that developed in vivo and in vitro using KSOM/AA. Eight out of 9 of these mRNAs were present in the 8-cell embryos and blastocysts raised in KSOM/AA in amounts that were indistinguishable from those in embryos that developed in vivo. It is concluded that KSOM/AA provides an environment in which preimplantation mouse embryos can undergo development that is quantitatively similar to that occurring in vivo.

Differential hybridization was used to detect repair defects in xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) that are not amenable to current analyses. cDNA libraries were constructed from cytoplasmic RNA of normal and XP fibroblast strains (complementation groups A and D) and analyzed for differential gene expression. More than 40,000 lambda gt10 cDNA clones were differentially screened with in vitro transcripts made from cDNA in the pBluescript vector. Six differential clones were detected in the libraries of the XP group A and D strains which caused stronger or weaker signals when probed with transcripts from XP strains than with those from the normal strains. Two clones coded for mitochondrial genes: mitochondrial 16 S rRNA and ATPase 6L. Overexpression of mitochondrial genes in XP may indicate that functions of the ATP-generating system are impaired since such functions are intensified whenever they become insufficient, for example as a consequence of DNA damage. It is tempting to assume that abnormal mitochondria are one of the causes for the neurological malfunctions in XP. Furthermore, densitometric analysis of Northern blots revealed that mRNA of lactate dehydrogenase, chain M, was less abundant in four XP group A strains (extent of reduction: 70%) and in two XP group D strains (extent of reduction: 58%). Enzyme activity was also diminished. In addition, mRNA of the gene for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was less expressed in the same XP group A and D fibroblast strains investigated (reduction in both complementation groups: 50%). Both glycolytic enzymes have nuclear functions apart from their role in sugar metabolism. Lactate dehydrogenase, chain M, is identical to a helix-destabilizing protein; it is closely associated with chromatin and unfolded DNA, suggesting a role in DNA synthesis and transcription. The 37-kDa subunit of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is involved in transcription and was shown to be identical to uracil-DNA glycosylase, a base-excision repair enzyme. We presume that the nuclear functions of these glycolytic enzymes may be thwarted in the XP strains investigated and may account for malfunctions in XP, particularly for neurological disturbances.

We have investigated the molecular basis of the Crooked Neck Dwarf (cn) mutation in embryonic chickens. Using biochemical and pharmacological techniques we are unable to detect normal alpha ryanodine receptor (RyR) protein in intact cn/cn skeletal muscle. Extremely low levels of alpha RyR immunoreactivity can be observed in mutant muscles, but the distribution of this staining differs from that in normal muscle and colocalizes with the rough endoplasmic reticulum immunoglobulin binding protein, BiP. This suggests the existence of an abnormal alpha RyR protein in mutant muscle. In day E12 cn/cn muscle the levels of RyR mRNA are reduced by approximately 80%, while the levels of other muscle proteins, including the alpha 1 subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor, the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase, calsequestrin, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and their associated mRNAs are essentially normal in cn/cn muscle. There is also a failure to express alpha RyR in cn/cn cerebellar Purkinje neurons. Expression of the beta RyR, a second RyR isoform, is not initiated in normal skeletal muscle until day E18. In cn/cn skeletal muscle significant muscle degeneration has occurred by this time and the beta RyR is found at low levels in only a subset of fibers suggesting the reduced levels of this isoform are a secondary consequence of the mutation. The cardiac RyR isoform is found in cn/cn cardiac muscle, which contracts in a vigorous manner. In summary, a failure to make normal alpha RyR receptor appears to be an event closely associated with the cn mutation and one which may be largely responsible for development of the cn/cn phenotype in embryonic skeletal muscle.
