1) The activities of 16 enzymes of glycolysis and of glutathione metabolism were determined in intact human red cell membranes (ghosts) which were prepared by hypotonic hemolysis. 2) Enzymes and hemoglobin of the ghosts were resolved by two toluene extractions. Only the four enzymes hexokinase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase could not be released completely from the ghosts. 3) The residual membrane fraction, which was obtained after the toluene extraction of ghosts prepared at 30 imOsM, contained 0.02% of the original hemoglobin content of the red cell. Between 6.5 and 23% of the hemolysate activities of glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate kinase and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase were detected in this fraction after mechanical disruption. 4) Sonication of intact ghosts increased the activities of fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, pyruvate kinase and phosphoglycerate kinase. 5) In "white" ghosts prepared at 5 imOsM phosphate buffer which contained 0.5% of the original hemoglobin the activities of fructose-bisphosphate aldolase and glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase were detected at high levels. The activities of pyruvate kinase and phosphoglycerate kinase were low in these preparations. 6) The results indicate that one part of all enzymes is loosely attached to the inner surface of the membrane as is hemoglobin. A second part, the "cryptic enzyme activity", is available after resolving by toluene. A residual part of four enzymes is firmly bound to the membrane. Two of them (fructose-bisphosphate aldolase and glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase) are oriented toward the inner surface of the membrane, whereas pyruvate kinase and phosphoglycerate kinase are hidden in the lipid core of the membrane.

1. Procedures were developed for the extraction and assay of glycolytic enzymes from the epididymis and epididymal spermatozoa of the rat. 2. The epididymis was separated into four segments for analysis. When rendered free of spermatozoa by efferent duct ligation, regional differences in enzyme activity were apparent. Phosphofructokinase, glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were more active in the proximal regions of the epididymis, whereas hexokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and phosphorylase were more active in the distal segment. These enzymes were less active in the epididymis of castrated animals and less difference was apparent between the proximal and distal segments. However, the corpus epididymidis from castrated rats had lower activities of almost all enzymes compared with other epididymal segments. 3. Spermatozoa required sonication to obtain satisfactory enzyme release. Glycolytic enzymes were more active in spermatozoa than in epididymal tissue, being more than 10 times as active in the case of hexokinase, phosphoglycerate kinase and phosphoglycerate mutase. 4. The specific activities of a number of enzymes in the epididymis were dependent on the androgen status of the animal. These included hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, pyruvate kinase, glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and phosphorylase. 5. The caput and cauda epididymidis differed in the extent to which enzyme activities changed in response to an altered androgen status. The most notable examples were hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, phosphoglycerate kinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and phosphorylase.

Submission of a rat liver homogenate made in 250 mM sucrose-1 mM EDTA to centrifugation between 9,500 times g for 10 min and 105,000 times g for 60 min results in the sedimentation of 60 to 70% of the total cellular fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13). Under these conditions only about one-quarter of the total triose phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase appears in the microsomal fraction. Ultrastructural immunologic localization techniques have demonstrated that the aldolase is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, in situ. The binding of this enzyme to the membrane is sensitive to changes in pH with an optimum at 6.0, and to increasing concentrations of NaCl and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, being about 100-fold more sensitive to the ester than to the inorganic salt.

Extracts of Pseudomonas citronellolis cells grown on glucose or gluconate possessed all the enzymes of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Gluconokinase and either or both 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase and KDPG aldolase were induced by growth on these substrates. Glucose and gluconate dehydrogenases and 6-phosphofructokinase were not detected. Thus catabolism of glucose proceeds via an inducible Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Metabolism of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate apparently proceeded via glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and pyruvate kinase. These same enzymes plus triose phosphate isomerase were present in lactate-grown cells indicating that synthesis of triose phosphates from gluconeogenic substrates also occurs via this pathway. Extracts of lactate grown-cells possessed fructose diphosphatase and phosphohexoisomerase but apparently lacked fructose diphosphate aldolase thus indicating either the presence of an aldolase with unusual properties or requirements or an alternative pathway for the conversion of triose phosphate to fructose disphosphate. Cells contained two species of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, one an NAD-dependent enzyme which predominated when the organism was grown on glycolytic substrates and the other, an NADP-dependent enzyme which predominated when the organism was grown on gluconeogenic substrates.

The Clarke-Carbon clone bank carrying ColE1-Escherichia coli DNA has been screened by conjugation for complementation of glycolysis and hexose monophosphate shunt mutations. Plasmids were identified for phosphofructokinase (pfkA), triose phosphate isomerase (tpi), phosphoglucose isomerase (pgi), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (zwf), gluconate-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (gnd), enolase (eno), phosphoglycerate kinase (pgk), and fructose-1,6-P2 aldolase (fda). Enzyme levels for the plasmid-carried gene ranged, for the various plasmids, from 4- to 25-fold the normal level.

Binding of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate to monophosphoglycerate mutase, of which it is an obligatory cofactor, causes changes in the resonance positions of the 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of both phosphate groups. It has previously been shown that these resonances shift when other glycolytic enzymes, such as phosphoglycerate kinase, are added to form the 2,3-diphosphoglycerate . monophosphoglycerate mutase . phosphoglycerate kinase complex. In view of this association, we have examined the set of glycolytic enzymes from aldolase to pyruvate kinase and found evidence of direct communication between all of these enzymes. A multi-enzyme complex of 1--2 . 10(6) daltons has been separated from broken cell ghosts by Biogel column filtration and evidence has been presented to show that this complex exhibits aldolase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase activity. The glycolytic multi-enzyme complex interacts with the outer face of inside-out vesicles prepared from human red cells and the interaction is suppressed by application of 10(-6) M ouabain to the inner face of these vesicles. These studies show that the conformation of the enzymes comprising the megadalton complex are responsive to the application of ouabain to the outer red cell membrane surface.

1. The effects of protein concentration and ionic strength on the adsorption of the individual glycolytic enzymes to F-actin and F-actin--trypomyosin--troponin have been studied. 2. Appreciable association was demonstrated under conditions of physiological ionic strength and high protein concentration, and tropomyosin--troponin established as an important and generalized component of these interactions. 3. Phosphofructokinase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase were strongly bound under these conditions, while triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and hexokinase displayed less adsorption to the structural proteins. 4. The influence of a number of parameters on the adsorption phenomena was examined. Ca2+ and fructose 1,6-diphosphate increased the adsorption of aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase, while decreasing the adsorption of the enzymes of the constant-proportion group. 5. Of the other major enzymic components of skeletal muscle, creatine kinase, adenylate kinase and malate dehydrogenase showed no adsorption to F-actin--tropomyosin--troponin under the experimental conditions. Some adsorption was evident, however, in the case of aspartate aminotransferase, (NADP) isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase. 6. These results have been discussed in relation to their functional significance and the roles of enzyme compartmentation in the cell.

The erythrocytes of 350 pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) were examined for electrophoretic variation of hemoglobin and 26 enzymes. Seven enzymes showed variation in more than 1% of individuals: phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphoglucomutase-1, soluble NADP-dependent isocitric dehydrogenase, peptidase A, peptidase C, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase, and acid phosphatase. Variation with lesser frequency was found in soluble glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, phosphoglycerate kinase, lactic dehydrogenase, and hemoglobin. Only eight samples were tested for esterase D, and one of these had a variant phenotype. Enzymes with no clear variation were adenylate kinase, adenosine deaminase, phosphofructokinase, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, phosphoglycerate mutase, phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase), phosphoglucomutase-3, and superoxide dismutase. There was father-to-son transmission of PGI, PGM-1, peptidase C, 6PGD, 2,3-DPGAM, NADP-ICD, and acid phosphatase variants, suggesting that these loci are autosomal as in man.

The multiplication of malaria parasites within red blood cells is energy dependent. Since these parasites lack a functional tricarboxylic acid cycle, the energy needs of the parasite are met by anaerobic glycolysis of exogenous glucose. High levels of glycolytic enzymes such as fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase have been detected in infected erythrocytes. Here we report a 4-9 times increase in glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) activity of infected erythrocytes over that of normal erythrocytes. This increase is of parasitic origin, as additional enzyme bands were observed in lysates of infected erythrocytes. The expression of GPI parallels parasite maturation and reaches a maximum at the trophozoite/schizont stage. Two distinct but closely related activity patterns consisting of 3-4 GPI isoenzymes (not shown in normal erythrocytes) with neutral to weakly acidic isoelectric points were observed in 6 P. falciparum isolates tested by isoelectric focusing. The purified P. falciparum GPI has an apparent size of 66 kDa. No size variation was observed in the 6 P. falciparum isolates studied. Furthermore, antiserum raised against this protein in BALB/c mice specifically inhibits parasite encoded GPI activity while no effect was observed on host enzyme activity.

The effect of estradiol-17 beta on the activities of glycolytic enzymes from female rat brain was studied. The following enzymes were examined: hexokinase (HK, EC 2.7.1.1), phosphofructokinase (PFK, EC 2.7.1.11), aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.2.3), phosphoglycerate mutase (EC 2.7.5.3), enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) and pyruvate kinase (PK, EC 2.7.1.40). The activities of HK (soluble and membrane-bound), PFK and PK were increased after 4 h of hormone treatment, while the others remained constant. The changes in activity were not seen in the presence of actinomycin D. The significant rise of the activities of the key glycolytic enzymes was also observed in the cell culture of mouse neuroblastoma C1300 treated with hormone. Only three of the studied isozymes, namely, HKII, B4 and K4 were found to be estradiol-sensitive for HK, PFK and PK, respectively. The results obtained suggest that rat brain glycolysis regulation by estradiol is carried out in neurons due to definite isozymes induction.
