Histochemical studies were carried out on some of the glycolytic enzymes viz. phosphorylase, aldose, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and a key enzyme of the pentose phosphatase cycle, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), in the hepatopancreas of Scylla serrata (Forskal). 1. Weak activities of phosphorylase and aldolase and strong-activities of alpha-GPDH and LDH were noticed mainly in the brush border of the tubules and R-cell cytoplasm. A trace activity of G-6-PDH was noticed in the brush border. 2. Bilateral eyestalk removal results in inhibition of both phosphorylase and aldolase. However, enhanced activities of alpha-GPDH and LDH were noticeable 4 h after the operation. The G-6-PDH activity remained unaltered till 24 h. 3. Injection of eyestalk extract into both intact and destalked crabs activated all the enzymes.

The analogue of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate in which the phosphate group, -O-PO3H2, on C-6 is replaced by the phosphonomethyl group, -CH2-PO3H2, was made enzymically from the corresponding analogue of 3-phosphoglycerate. It was a substrate for aldolase, which was used to form it, but not for fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. It was hydrolysed chemically to yield the corresponding analogue of fructose 6-phosphate [i.e. 6-deoxy-6-(phosphonomethyl)-D-fructose, or, more strictly, 6,7-dideoxy-7-phosphono-D-arabino-2-heptulose]. This proved to be a substrate for the sequential actions of glucose 6-phosphate isomerase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Thus seven out of the nine enzymes of the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways so far tested catalyse the reactions of the phosphonomethyl isosteres of their substrates.

The neutral lipid accumulation in myo-inositol deficient Saccharomyces carlsbergensis results at least partly from an enhancement of acetyl CoA carboxylase activity due to the high level of fructose 1,6-biphosphate which activates acetyl CoA carboxylase, and due to the low level of citrate which counteracts the activation [4]. In an attempt to explore the effect of myo-inositol deficiency on the metabolic fluxes, various enzyme activities were compared between the myo-inositol supplemented and deficient cells. The activities of phosphofructokinase and ATP-citrate lyase increased by 74 and 83%, respectively. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was unchanged. Unlike acetyl CoA carboxylase, elimination of low molecular effectors had no influence on their activities. The thermostability of phosphofructokinase (at 53 degrees C) increased, while that of aldolase (at 48 degrees C) greatly decreased due to the deficiency. The thermostability of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (at 52 degrees C) was also unchanged.

1) A lysosomal protease, a new cathepsin that inactivates glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.49] and some other enzymes and differs from cathepsin B [EC 3.4.22.1] was purified about 2,200-fold from crude extracts of rat liver by cell-fractionation, freezing and thawing, acetone treatment, gel filtration, and DEAE Sephadex and CM-Sephadex column chromatographies. 2) The new cathepsin was markedly activated by the thiol-reagent, 2-mercaptoethanol and inhibited by monoiodoacetate. 3) The molecular weight of the new cathepsin was found by Sephadex G-75 column chromatography to be 22,000, which is smaller than that of cathepsin B. 4) The optimum pH of the enzyme for inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was pH 5.0--5.5. The enzyme was unstable in alkali and on heat treatment. 5) The rates of inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, apo-ornithine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.13], apo-tyrosine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.5], apo-cystathionase [EC 4.4.1.1], glucokinase [EC 2.7.1.2], glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [EC 1.2.1.12], and malate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.37] by the new cathepsin were higher than those by cathepsin B. However aldolase [EC 4.1.2.13] was inactivated more rapidly by cathepsin B than by the new cathepsin. Lactate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.27], glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.2] and alcohol dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.1] were not inactivated by either cathepsin. Unlike cathepsin B, the new cathepsin scarcely hydrolyzes N-substituted derivatives of arginine.

The effects of K2PtCl4, cis-Pt(NH3)2Cl2, and trans-Pt(NH3)2Cl2 on the activities of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, dihydrofolate reductase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, catalase, tyrosinase, and peroxidase have been investigated. All of the enzymes which are thought to have essential sulfhydryl groups (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) were significantly inhibited by K2PtCl4. The other four enzymes studied are not known to have essential sulfhydryl groups, and were not significantly affected by the Pt compounds under the conditions employed. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was the only enzyme inhibited by all three Pt compounds tested, with K2PtCl4 being the most effective and cis-Pt(NH3)2Cl2 the least effective inhibitor. Semilogarithmic plots of residual activity versus inhibition time indicated that the inhibition reactions were not simple first-order processes, except for the inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by K2PtCl4 which appeared to be first-order with respect to enzyme concentration.

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.

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.

Adipose tissue and liver from vitamin B6-deficient rats have an increased lipogenic capacity. Whether this phenomenon is accompanied by changes in the activities of certain enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrate and lipid, or by altered transport of glucose into adipocytes, has been studied. Five glycolytic enzymes (hexokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, and pyruvate kinase), two pentose phosphate pathway enzymes (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase), malic enzyme, and ATP citrate lyase were measured in the epididymal adipose tissue, livers and kidneys of vitamin B6-deficient and control rats. Vitamin B6 deficiency did not significantly affect the glycolytic enzyme levels in the tissues studied, or the dehydrogenases measured in adipose tissue and kidneys. Liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and adipose tissue and liver malic enzyme were significantly lowered in deficient rats compared to ad libitum and pair-fed controls. Adipose tissue and liver ATP citrate lyase activities were also significantly decreased by vitamin B6 deficiency. In the presence of insulin, the uptake of glucose and 3-O-methyl glucose, a non-metabolizable sugar, by fat pads from deficient rats was greater than uptake by fat pads from control rats. These observations suggest that the increased glucose utilization by adipose tissue and liver of vitamin B6-deficient rats is not directly related to changes in the enzymes studied, but in the case of adipose tissue, may be explained, at least in part, by enhanced glucose uptake.

The activity of the enzymes of glycolysis (phosphofructokinase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase) and hexose monophosphate shunt (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) was determined in the eye tissues of the rabbit at different stages of ontogenesis. The activity of these enzymes in the retina was shown to be higher than in other eye tissues. In the uveal tract (iris, ciliary bodies, uvea) the activity of glycolytic enzymes changes with the age. The greatest changes in the activity of enzymes were found during the period of the opening of eyelids. The activity of the enzymes of hexose monophosphate shunt in the eye tissues increases with the age. The relative activity of dehydrogenases of the hexose monophosphate shunt after the establishment of visual function is, however, not high and does not exceed that of phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase in the eye tissues of the rabbit.

Aspergillus nidulans was completely devoid of fruit bodies when grown on manganese deficient cultures. This result was shown earlier to be due to a lack of alpha-1,3 glucan in the cell wall. Several enzymes of carbon and nitrogen metabolism were investigated in an attempt to explain the absence of this reserve material. Synthesis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucoisomerase and aldolase, were not strongly affected by manganese deficiency. However, phosphoglucomutase showed only 60% of the activity of the control cultures and it was argued that this was connected with the low amounts of alpha-1,3 glucan synthesized. Malate dehydrogenase was the enzyme the least affected by manganese deficiency and the two to threefold higher activity measured after glucose depletion might indicate the induction of the glyoxylate cycle. An impaired glutamine synthetase could explain the increase in activity observed for NAD-glutamine dehydrogenase.
