1. A procedure for isolating nuclei of the wheat germ in non-aqueous media has been described. 2. Such nuclei were shown to constitute about 50 per cent of the protoplasmic mass and to have a ribonucleic acid content of an order equivalent to that of the cytoplasm. 3. Studies of the distribution of the enzymes-aldolase, phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase, enolase, and pyruvate kinase-have revealed that the nuclei are the most vigorous sites of glycolytic activity. 4. Analysis of the DPN content of the nuclei in calf tissues-liver, pancreas, and heart-pointed to the probability that glycolytic activity is a characteristic common to many nuclei. 5. The significance of glycolytic activity to nuclear function has been discussed and some suggestive comparisons made between the two energy-yielding systems of glycolytic and oxidative phosphorylation.

Methods for measurement of glyceraldehyde-P dehydrogenase, triose-P isomerase, fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase, and the DPN-linked and flavin-linked alpha-glycero-P dehydrogenases in small amounts of tissue have been worked out. These enzymes have been measured in ten tracts in rabbit central nervous system. The activities of all the enzymes measured, except the flavin-linked alpha-glycero-P dehydrogenase, are present in larger amounts in lightly myelinated than in heavily myelinated tracts, but are relatively low in fibrillar layer of olfactory bulb, which is unmyelinated. Aldolase, like P-fructokinase (measured previously), is especially low in fibrillar layer. Taken together with relatively high 6-P-gluconate dehydrogenase activity found earlier this supports the hypothesis that the pentose-P shunt is particularly active in this tract. The activity of DPN-linked alpha-glycero-P dehydrogenase is inversely proportional to the lipid content of the myelinated tracts, which suggests that its primary role is not related to lipid synthesis in adult brain. The activities of flavin-linked alpha-glycero-P dehydrogenase are unrelated to those of the DPN-linked enzyme, which is contrary to expectation if the two enzymes function as partners in the "alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle."

1. Phenanthrene is oxidatively metabolized by soil pseudomonads through trans-3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene to 3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene, which then undergoes cleavage. 2. Some properties of the ring-fission product, cis-4-(1-hydroxynaphth-2-yl)-2-oxobut-3-enoic acid, are described. The Fe(2+)-dependent oxygenase therefore disrupts the bond between C-4 and the angular C of the phenanthrene nucleus. 3. An enzyme of the aldolase type converts the fission product into 1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (2-formyl-1-hydroxynaphthalene). An NAD-specific dehydrogenase is also present in the cell-free extract, which oxidizes the aldehyde to 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid. This is then oxidatively decarboxylated to 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, thus allowing continuation of metabolism via the naphthalene pathway. 4. Anthracene is similarly metabolized, through 1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxyanthracene to 1,2-dihydroxyanthracene, in which ring-fission occurs to give cis-4-(2-hydroxynaphth-3-yl)-2-oxobut-3-enoic acid. The position of cleavage is again at the bond between the angular C and C-1 of the anthracene nucleus. 5. Enzymes that convert the fission product through 2-hydroxy-3-naphthaldehyde into 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid were demonstrated. The further metabolism of this acid is discussed. 6. The Fe(2+)-dependent oxygenase responsible for cleavage of all the o-dihydroxyphenol derivatives appears to be catechol 2,3-oxygenase, and is a constitutive enzyme in the Pseudomonas strains used.

Whether fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) triggers the transcriptional regulation of the gene expression of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) in Streptococcus bovis was examined by constructing a recombinant strain that overexpresses FBP aldolase (FBA). When the recombinant strain was grown on glucose, intracellular FBP was much lower as compared to the parent strain, whereas dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and d-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) were slightly higher. Intracellular ATP and ADP were slightly lower, but the NADH/NAD(+) ratio was not different. When glucose was replaced by lactose, a less readily utilized substrate, there was no great difference in FBP, DHAP, GAP, or adenine nucleotides. Overexpression of FBA decreased the level of LDH-mRNA, and increased the level of PFL-mRNA. Consequently, FBP concentration was positively related to the LDH-mRNA level and inversely related to the PFL-mRNA level. On the contrary, DHAP and GAP concentrations were positively related to the PFL-mRNA level and inversely related to the LDH-mRNA level. The levels of these mRNA were proportional to the amounts of corresponding enzymes in cells. As a result, the ratio of formate to lactate produced was increased by the overexpression of FBA. From these results, it could be presumed that FBP is involved in the transcriptional control of LDH and PFL synthesis in S. bovis.

We determined the activities of selected enzymes involved in carbon metabolism in free-living cells of Rhizobium tropici CFN299 grown in minimal medium with different carbon sources and in bacteroids of the same strain. The set of enzymatic activities in sucrose-grown cells suggests that the pentose phosphate pathway, with the participation of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, is probably the primary route for sugar catabolism. In glutamate- and malate-grown cells, high activities of the gluconeogenic enzymes (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-6-phosphate aldolase, and fructose bisphosphatase) were detected. In bacteroids, isolated in Percoll gradients, the levels of activity for many of the enzymes measured were similar to those of malate-grown cells, except that higher activities of glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and NAD-dependent phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were detected. Phosphoglucomutase and UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase showed high and constant levels under all growth conditions and in bacteroids.

Cells of Picrophilus torridus, grown on glucose, contained all enzyme activities of a non-phosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway, including glucose dehydrogenase, gluconate dehydratase, 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate aldolase, glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase (GADH), glycerate kinase (2-phosphoglycerate forming), enolase and pyruvate kinase. GADH was purified to homogeneity. The 115-kDa homodimeric protein catalyzed the oxidation of glyceraldehyde with NADP+ at highest catalytic efficiency. NAD+ was not used. By MALDI-TOF analysis, open reading frame (ORF) Pto0332 was identified in the genome of P. torridus as the encoding gene, designated gadh, and the recombinant GADH was characterized. In Thermoplasma acidophilum ORF Ta0809 represents a gadh homolog with highest sequence identity; the gene was expressed and the recombinant protein was characterized as functional GADH with properties very similar to the P. torridus enzyme. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis define both GADHs as members of novel enzyme family within the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily.

One of the early steps in the biosynthesis of coenzyme F(420) in Methanocaldococcus jannaschii requires generation of 2-phospho-L-lactate, which is formed by the phosphorylation of L-lactate. Preliminary studies had shown that L-lactate in M. jannaschii is not derived from pyruvate, and thus an alternate pathway(s) for its formation was examined. Here we report that L-lactate is formed by the NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of l-lactaldehyde by the MJ1411 gene product. The lactaldehyde, in turn, was found to be generated either by the NAD(P)H reduction of methylglyoxal or by the aldol cleavage of fuculose-1-phosphate by fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase, the MJ1418 gene product.

The inhibition of photosynthetic CO(2) fixation by O(2), commonly referred to as the Warburg effect, was examined in isolated intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. The major characteristics of this effect in isolated chloroplasts are rapid reversibility when O(2) is replaced by N(2), an increased inhibition by O(2) at low concentrations of CO(2) and a decreased effect of O(2) with increased concentrations of CO(2).Both the DPN- and TPN-linked glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases but not aldolase were inhibited by O(2). The photoreduction of TPN measured in fragmented chloroplast preparations was similar in N(2) and O(2) down to a concentration of 5 micromolar TPN. The effect of 100% O(2) on (14)CO(2) assimilation was overcome completely by fructose 1,6-diphosphate and by ribose 5-phosphate but not by ascorbate, cysteine, dithiothreitol and reduced lipoate. Glycolate became the major photosynthetic product at high partial pressures of O(2) or at low CO(2) concentrations. It is concluded that O(2) depresses photosynthesis primarily by causing a shift of a major portion of the total carbon into glycolate and impairing the functioning of the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle. The mechanism whereby O(2) alters the flow of carbon into glycolate remains unknown.

d-Glucose 6-phosphate cycloaldolase is inhibited 83% by 0.66 mm EDTA and stimulated 1.7-fold by 0.6 mm KCl. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate, an analog of the last three carbons in the proposed intermediate, d-xylo-5-hexulose 6-phosphate, acts as a partially competitive inhibitor. Treatment with NaBH(4) in the presence of dihydroxyacetone phosphate does not cause permanent inactivation as would be expected if a Schiff base were being formed. In these properties it resembles a type II, metal-containing aldolase. Photooxidation in the presence of Rose Bengal inactivates this enzyme. NAD(+) partially protects against this photooxidation. Cells grown on medium lacking myoinositol had four times as much enzyme activity as cells grown on medium containing 100 mg of myoinositol per liter.

Tissue distribution and activity of enzymes involved in sucrose and hexose metabolism were examined in kernels of two inbreds of maize (Zea mays L.) at progressive stages of development. Levels of sugars and starch were also quantitated throughout development. Enzyme activities studied were: ATP-linked fructokinase, UTP-linked fructokinase, ATP-linked glucokinase, sucrose synthase, UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase, UDP-Glc dehydrogenase, PPi-linked phosphofructokinase, ATP-linked phosphofructokinase, NAD-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase, NADP-dependent 6-P-gluconate dehydrogenase, NADP-dependent Glc-6-P dehydrogenase, aldolase, phosphoglucoisomerase, and phosphoglucomutase. Distribution of invertase activity was examined histochemically. Hexokinase and ATP-linked phosphofructokinase activities were the lowest among these enzymes and it is likely that these enzymes may regulate the utilization of sucrose in developing maize kernels. Most of the hexokinase activity was found in the endosperm, but the embryo had high activity on a dry weight basis. The endosperm, which stores primarily starch, contained high PPi-linked phosphofructokinase and low ATP-linked phosphofructokinase activities, whereas the embryo, which stores primarily lipids, had much higher ATP-linked phosphofructokinase activity than did the endosperm. It is suggested that PPi required by UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase and PPi-linked phosphofructokinase in the endosperm may be supplied by starch synthesis. Sorbitol dehydrogenase activity was largely restricted to the endosperm, whereas 6-P-gluconate and Glc-6-P dehydrogenase activities were highest in the base and pericarp. A possible metabolic pathway by which sucrose is converted into starch is proposed.
