Cytochalasin A at 10-20 mug/ml inhibits growth and sugar uptake by Saccharomyces strain 1016. The effects of cytochalasin A in intact cells were completely prevented when 1 mM cysteine or dithiothreitol was added along with cytochalasin A, but were not eliminated by thiols added after inhibition had occurred. Purified yeast hexokinase, glucose-6-P dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase and aldolase were not sensitive to cytochalasin A (20 mug/ml). Glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase was strongly inhibited by cytochalasin A (5 mug/ml); activity was promptly restored by thiols. Anaerobic glycolysis was inhibited by cytochalasin A or by iodoacetate; unlike iodoacetate, cytochalasin A did not cause accumulation of sugar phosphates. In contrast, cytochalasin A, but not iodoacetate, inhibited isolated membrane-bound ATPases. Cytochalasin A is a sulfhydryl-reactive agent and has membrane-related effects (adenosine triphosphatase) which may well be the basis of its interference with energy-dependent uptake of solutes.

Specific antisera against glycogen phosphorylase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle were obtained from sheep. The gamma-globulins were used for indirect immunofluorescent localization of the respective enzymes in rabbit skeletal muscle and heart. In stretched skeletal muscle a cross-striation like distribution was observed for all enzymes studied. In the case of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase this pattern is due to the staining of I-band mitochondria. In cross-sections, an intense staining of the sarcolemma and of subsarcolemmal mitochondria was observed. Comparative analyses with polarized light revealed that the cytosolic enzymes under study are distributed in the relaxed muscle fibre predominantly within the isotropic zones. The same distribution holds also for heart. In contracting muscle a decrease in cross-striated fluorescence and a faint staining of the interfibrillar spaces suggests a location also within the interfibrillar space.

Purple sulphur bacteria (Chromatium minutissimum, Ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii, Thiocapsa roseopersicina), non-sulphur bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas palustris Rh. viridis), and green sulphur bacteria (Chlorobium limicola f. thiosulfatophillum) contain all enzymes of the fructose diphosphate pathway of carbohydrate transformation, and also glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The activity of fructose diphosphate aldolase, triose phosphate dehydrogenase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase increased in the cultures of Th. roseopersicina and C. limicola f. thiosulfatophillum when they were grown in the presence of glucose. The activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in these bacteria was very low.

Erythrocyte properties of patients with congenital hypoplastic anemia were compared to those of patients with transient erythroblastopenia of childhood. The MCV was less than 85 in all nine TEC patients studied and greater than 90 in all 11 CHA patients. Hemoglobin F concentration was elevated beyond the normal level for age in eight CHA patients and almost always normal in TEC. The i antigen score was more likely to be elevated in CHA than in TEC. The activities of transaminase, aldolase, phosphofructokinase, and glutathione peroxidase were higher in CHA than in TEC (p less than 0.001). Some abnormal properties (namely, MCV and hemoglobi n F concentration) of CHA erythrocytes, present during remission but accentuated during relapse, seemed to vary with changes in serum erythropoietin. Early differentiation of TEC and CHA appears feasible, allowing prompt provision of a favorable prognosis and the avoidance of unnecessary corticosteroid therapy in TEC.

Fructose 6-sulfate was synthesized by direct sulfurylation of fructose and was isolated by two selective steps: (a) conversion of the 6-sulfuryl ester to fructose 1-phosphate-6-sulfate with phosphofructokinase; (b) conversion of fructose 1-phosphate-6-sulfate to fructose 6-sulfate by fructose-1,6-diphosphatase. Utilizing crystalline sheep heart phosphofructokinase, kinetic studies with the alternative substrate were carried out at pH 8.2 which is optimal for nonallosteric kinetics. The data are consistent with an ordered addition of the two substrates with the first, MgATP, being at thermodynamic equilibrium. The Vmax and Km obtained with fructose 6-sulfate were 0.03- and 100-fold, respectively, that obtained with the natural substrate. The study suggests that the divalent phosphoryl moiety is intimately involved in the active site conformation. Identification of the product of the reaction, fructose 1-phosphate-6-sulfate, was confirmed through studies with aldolase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, and by 31P NMR. The utilization of fructose 6-sulfate as a substrate by yeast glucose-6-phosphate isomerase could not be demonstrated.

1. The aims of this work were to discover the pathways of carbohydrate oxidation prior to and during thermogenesis by the club of the spadix of Arum maculatum, and whether there was coarse control of these pathways. 2. 14C02 production from [1-14C]-, [3,4-14C]-, and [6-14C]glucose, the detailed distribution of 14C from [1-14C]- and [6-14C]glucose, and the maximum catalytic activities of phosphofructokinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were determined at different stages in the development of the spadix. The results indicate that in the early stages carbohydrate is oxidized via both the pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis, and that a shift to glycolysis occurs during development so that just before and during thermogenesis glycolysis predominates almost exclusively. 3. During development the activities of phosphofructokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase per club increased 100- ans during spadix development, and indicated that the onset of rapid glycolysis at thermogenesis is regulated by fine control or availability of substrate.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae aldolase concentrates from the culture medium containing ZnSO4 a large amount of Zn which becomes a component part of the enzyme molecular structure. This was made evident by adding to the culture medium 65ZnSO4 and measuring the radioactivity of the aldolase extracted by a Phillips single channel analyzer.

The interaction of an electromagnetic field with the enzymatic substrate-- the sodium salt of fructose-1,6-disphosphate--induces in the latter a new type of physical transition S leads to S. The enzyme, in this case Saccharomyces cerevisiae aldolase, is able to reveal this new state of the substrate by an increase in its specific activity within well established irradiation times. Each enzyme is characterized by the tm (minimal irradiation time of the substrate) a tau (fixed time period) parameters that delimit the two signals. Purified S. cerevisiae aldolase has tm=5 sec. and tau=20 sec., in contrast to muscle aldolase (represented by class I aldolase) which has tm=15 sec. and tau=30 sec. This may be attributed to the fact that most of the enzymatic systems in S. cerevisiae are made up of several distinct molecular forms, involved in more metabolic pathways than in the animal tissue, therefore with various responses to the phenomenon of perturbation of the substrates.

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.

Cell-free extracts of D-fructose grown cells of Pseudomonas putida, P. fluorescens, P. aeruginosa, P. stutzeri, P. mendocina, P. acidovorans and P. maltophila catalyzed a P-enolpyruvate-dependent phosphorylation of D-fructose and contained 1-P-fructokinase activity suggesting that in these species fructose-1-P and fructose-1,6-P2 were intermediates of D-fructose catabolism. Neither the 1-P-fructokinase nor the activity catalyzing a P-enolpyruvate-dependent phosphorylation of D-fructose was present in significant amounts in succinate-grown cells indicating that both activities were inducible. Cell-free extracts also contained activities of fructose-1,6-P2 aldolase, fructose-1,6-P2 phosphatase, and P-hexose isomerase which could convert fructose-1,6-P2 to intermediates of either the Embden-Meyerhof pathway or Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Radiolabeling experiments with 1-14C-D-fructose suggested that in P. putida, P. aeruginosa, P. stutzeri, and P. acidovorans most of the alanine was made via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway with a minor portion being made via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. An edd- mutant of O. putida which lacked a functional Entner-Doudoroff pathway but was able to grow on D-fructose appeared to make alanine solely via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway.
