The lactate and pyruvate levels, as well as acid and alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutaminic acid-oxalacetic acid transaminase and aldolase levels of rat liver homogenizates were measured at 24 degrees C and 38 degrees C during 120 min ischaemia from 0 to the 120th min. With the exception of transaminase and aldolase, the other enzymes were also enzyme-histochemically studied. The early lesions of the liver can be detected, both the quantitative laboratory tests and enzyme histochemical studies. The deviations from normal, observed at 24 degrees C between the 60th and 100th min, and at 38 degrees C between the 30th and 60th min, might be signs of irreversible lesions. Fractionated study of the liver homogenizate improves the assessability of enzyme determinations. In the course of "warm" ischaemia, the liver lysosomal lesions are early symptoms. Parallel to the breakdown of aerobic glycolysis lactic acid, fermentation, and an active pentose phosphate cycle can be detected. Quantitative testing of the liver homogenizate and enzyme histochemical observation of the hepatic tissue, might be a suitable method for the assessment of ischaemic liver lesions.

The influence of cysteamine on the metabolic activity of red blood cells has been estimated in vitro. Cysteamine has a marked influence on the activity of mainly aldolase F-1, 6-P and glucose-6-P dehydrogenase in red blood cells in vitro. The anaerobic metabolism of erythrocytes is more active in the presence of lower doses of cysteamine. Higher concentrations of radioprotector stimulate the pentose phosphate shunt.

Polyacrylamide-disc gel electrophoresis and quantitative enzyme assays showed that the pathways of glucose catabolism and secondary metabolism in Penicillium expansum were dependent on the degree of aeration of the cultures. The isoenzyme patterns and specific activities of aldolase and succinate dehydrogenase indicated that glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle operated under conditions of both limited and efficient aeration (i.e. in cultures grown statically or on an orbital shaker). At high levels of aeration the growth rate was faster and synthesis of extracellular pectolytic enzymes was enhanced, whilst the activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase showed that the pentose-phosphate shunt was important in glucose catabolism during the trophophase of growth. In contrast, under conditions of low aeration this latter pathway was virtually undetectable, growth was slower, pectolytic enzyme production low and large concentrations of secondary metabolites (6-methylsalicylic acid, patulin and citrinin) accumulated.

Activity of transketolase, an enzyme of the pentose cycle and fructosodiphosphataldolase, an enzyme of glycolisis was studied in the dynamics of development of the nystatin-producing organism and its inactive mutant under various conditions of their cultivation with a purpose of finding relation between the antibiotic production and general metabolism of Act. noursei. The transketolase activity of the organism was 2-4 times higher than that of the inactive mutant. Addition of 8000 Units/ml of nystatin to the medium markedly suppressed (50-100 per cent) the aldolase activity, however it had no effect on the transkelotase activity. Possibly the antibiotic accumulated in the mycelium played the role of a regulator of the activity of the enzymes, directing the metabolites along the hexosomonophosphate pathway of carbohydrate dissimilation.

In the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the guinea pig, rat, golden hamster, and mouse the activity and distribution of enzymes related to the energy-supplying metabolism and of some marker enzymes of different cell organelles have been investigated by means of mostly modified histochemical methods. The results were compared with findings in the ciliated ependyma of the ventricular wall and with those in the ependyma of the choroid plexus of the third ventricle. In the ependymal part of the SCO only a moderate activity of hexokinase is observed in its specialized columnar cells whereas a high activity is present both in the ciliated ependyma and the choroid plexus. - The staining pattern of glucose-6-phosphatase is similar to that of hexokinase but this enzyme is found is the SCO only. - Likewise hexokinase, glycogen granules and enzymes related to glycogen metabolism (phosphoglucomutase, uridine-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase) are regularly found most numerous and active in the nuclear and supra-nuclear area of the ependymal part. These enzymes are less active in both the other ependymal regions. - Uridine-diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase could not be demonstrated in the SCO. The NADP-linked enzymes of the pentose phosphate shunt, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, show a moderate activity which decreases also from the nuclear towards the apical area of the ependymal cells of the SCO. Enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, such as glucosephosphate isomerase, fructose-6-phosphate kinase, fructose-I,6-diphosphate aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase, are highly active in the SCO and are located mainly in the supranuclear area, too. Fructose-1,6-diphosphatase could not be demonstrated thus indicating that in the SCO the pathway is most probably only glycolytic but not gluconeogenetic. Compared to the ependyma of the ventricular wall and of the choroid plexus, in the SCO the M type subunits of lactate dehydrogenase predominate. Glycolytic enzymes are also very active in the choroid plexus but less in the ciliated ependyma. Compared to the ciliated ependyma and especially to the ependyma of the choroid plexus, the activities of enzymes which are only present in mitochondria (NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD-linked malate dehydrogenase after preextraction, cytochrome oxidase, 3-hydroxybutyrate and glycerolphosphate and glutamate dehydrogenase) are relatively low. Mitochondria are accumulated near the superior pole of the nuclei as well as in the most apical part of the ependymal cells. - The staining pattern of NADP-linked isocitrate and malate dehydrogenase as well as of NADH dehydrogenase suggests that these enzymes are localized both in and out of mitochondria. The extramitochondrial activity of the first two enzymes might be localized in the cytosol. The extramitochondrial activity of NADH dehydrogenase might be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum...

The activity of the glycolysis enzymes, i.e. aldolase and pyruvate decarboxylase and the enzymes of the pentose cycle, i.e. transketolase were investigated in the process of cultivation of an active strain and inactive mutant of Act. rimosus under conditions favourable for oxytetracycline biosynthesis on starch medium and under unfavourable conditions on glucose medium. It was shown that the aldolase and transketolase activity in the inactive mutant was higher on the starch medium as compared to the active strain, while the activity of pyruvate dekarboxylase was lower. The above difference between the both strains was preserved on the glucose medium and the activity of aldolase and transketolase in both strains increased, while the activity of pyruvate dekarboxylase remained at the same level.

Aldolase and triose phosphate isomerase both display strict specificity towards the enantiomers of [1-3H]glycerone 3-phosphate. The enantiomer generated from D-[1-3H]glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate produces 3HOH in the aldolase reaction, whilst the other enantiomer generated from D-[3-3H]fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is solely detritiated in the reaction catalyzed by triose phosphate isomerase. Advantage was taken of such a specificity to assess, in human erythrocytes exposed to either D-[3-3H]glucose or D-[3,4-3H]glucose, the extent of D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate sequential conversion to glycerone 3-phosphate and D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, relative to net glycolytic flux. At 37 degrees C and in the presence of 5.6 mM D-glucose, only 55% of the metabolites of D-[4-3H]glucose underwent detritiation in the reactions catalyzed by triose phosphate isomerase and aldolase. Such a percentage was further decreased at low temperature (8 degrees C) or lower concentrations of D-glucose (0.2 and 1.0 mM). However, when the erythrocytes were exposed to menadione, the increase in 3HOH production from either D-[3-3H]glucose or D-[3,4-3H]glucose indicated that the majority of the 3H atoms initially located on the C4 of D-glucose were recovered as 3HOH upon circulation through the pentose phosphate pathway. These findings suggest that, under physiological conditions, a large fraction of D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate generated from exogenous D-glucose may undergo enzyme-to-enzyme channelling in the glycolytic pathway.

Transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) is the enzyme that, together with aldolase, forms a reversible link between the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways. We have cloned and sequenced the transketolase gene from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This is the first transketolase gene of the pentose phosphate shunt to be sequenced from any source. The molecular mass of the proposed translated protein is 73,976 daltons, in good agreement with the observed molecular mass of about 75,000 daltons. The 5'-nontranslated region of the gene is similar to other yeast genes. There is no evidence of 5'-splice junctions or branch points in the sequence. The 3'-nontranslated region contains the polyadenylation signal (AATAAA), 80 base pairs downstream from the termination codon. A high degree of homology is found between yeast transketolase and dihydroxyacetone synthase (formaldehyde transketolase) from the yeast Hansenula polymorpha. The overall sequence identity between these two proteins is 37%, with four regions of much greater similarity. The regions from amino acid residues 98-131, 157-182, 410-433, and 474-489 have sequence identities of 74%, 66%, 83%, and 82%, respectively. One of these regions (157-182) includes a possible thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) binding domain, and another (410-433) may contain the catalytic domain.

Previous studies had indicated that the form II or B cluster of CO2 fixation structural genes is part of a large operon in Rhodobacter sphaeroides (Gibson, J. L., Chen, J.-H., Tower, P. A., and Tabita, F. R. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 8085-8093). In this investigation, we have sequenced the DNA between the prkB and rbpL genes and provide evidence for three distinct open reading frames which encode additional structural genes of the Calvin reductive pentose phosphate pathway; these genes encode the enzymes transketolase, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, and aldolase. Noteworthy is transketolase, which may be expressed to high levels in Escherichia coli. This study thus represents the initial description of the primary structure of bacterial transketolase, a key enzyme of the reductive and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathways. Each of the genes are separated by short stretches of intergenic sequence, consistent with earlier evidence which suggested that these genes are cotranscribed and part of a large operon controlled by sequences upstream from fbpB.

Intensity of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate cycle in staphylococci sensitive and resistant to novobiocin was studied. The resistant variants did not practically store lactate and the activity of glycolytic enzymes i.e. hexokinase and aldolase was lowered by 15-20 and 53-59 per cent, respectively. Monoiodoacetate, a glycolysis inhibitor suppressed the glucose oxidation rate by 53.3-66.9 per cent in the sensitive variants and by 16-21.8 per cent in the resistant variants. At the same time it was characteristic of the resistant variants to increase the activity of the pentose phosphate cycle enzymes; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by 25-38.1 per cent transketolase by 21.5-27.3 per cent and transaldolase by 30-57.1 per cent. No differences in the transhydrogenase reaction kinetics of both the novobiocin sensitive and the novobiocin resistant variants were observed.
