Setaria cervi, the filarial parasite inhabiting the Indian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis Linn.) contained almost all the enzymes involved in glycogen degradation. Significant activities of glycogen phosphorylase, glucokinase, phosphoglucomutase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, FDP-aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphopyruvate hydratase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were detected in cell-free extracts of whole worms. The presence of PEP-carboxykinase, malate dehydrogenase, fumarase and fumarate reductase revealed the functioning of the PEP-succinate pathway in addition to phosphorylating glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway in the parasite. Excepting fumarate reductase all other enzymes were localized in the particulate-free cytosol fraction, although small amounts of glycogen phosphorylase, aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase were also detected in the mitochondrial fraction.

Human erythrocyte ghosts were solubilized in a low ionic strength medium containing 1% Triton X-100 and subjected to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing Triton X-100. Five major bands were stained with Coomassie Blue, all except one band being heterogenous when re-electrophoresed in gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate. It was possible to detect acetylcholinesterase, non-specific esterase, ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aldolase activities on the Triton-containing polyacrylamide gels. Two of the enzymes, ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase, showed substantial inhibition by Triton X-100 in quantitative studies. This appears to be a useful method for studying membrane enzymes in normal and pathological red cells.

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 activity of the following enzymes in clinically normal newborn calves was investigated: glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT), alkaline phosphatase (APh), creatine phosphokinase (CPhK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), leucine-aminopeptidase (LAP), aldolase (A), and cholinesterase (ChE). The studies were carried out at the first hour prior to offering colostrum as well as at the 6th, 12th, 24th hr and on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th day following it first intake. Regularly rising values of the enzyme activity up to the 24th hour were observed with APh, GOT, GPT, CPhK, and LAP. The aldolase enzyme (after colostrum had been given for the first time) in all animals showed a statistically significant drop of activity at the 6th hour. The activity of LDH displayed a consistently rising trend up to the end of the experimental period. The cholinesterase activity showed high values immediately following birth, reaching those found in the dams by the end of the observation period.

A method based upon the principle that unlike domains of bonding are reflected in different reactivities and distribution of residues that can be crosslinked, has been elaborated for the determination of symmetry of oligomeric proteins. The derivation of theoretical curves for the prediction of crosslinking patterns of tetramers produced by reaction with a bifunctional reagent and subsequent sodium-dodecylsulphage-gel electrophoretic analysis, is presented. Based upon the theory the symmetry properties of a tetramer, to the extent whether it is an isologous or heterologous association, can be deduced by a simple calculation. Crosslinking patterns obtained with rabbit muscle aldolase and pig muscle lactate dehydrogenase after treatment with a series of diimidoesters of increasing chain length are evaluated and shown to be consistent with the expectations for isologous tetramers. From the patterns obtained with the various reagents the distances between lysyl residues located nearest to each other in different subunits in the two proteins could also be determined.

The activities of aspartate transminase (EC 2.6.1.1), alanine transminase (EC 2.6.1.2), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) leucine arylamidase (EC 3.4.1.1), aldolase (EC 4.1.2), lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.38) and cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7) were measured in serum of male rabbits and albino Wistar rats in dlplicate by means of microliter techniques. Furthermore, the diurnal alterations of enzyme activity were established in 8--10 animals of both species. Aspartate transaminase activity in the serum of rats was found to be significantly higher than in the serum of humans and rabbits, and essentially lower alkaline phosphatase values were obtained from the serum of rabbits in comparison with those found for the serum of humans and rats. Relatively high acid phosphatase and aldolase values as well as a very low cholinesterase activity were found in the serum of rabbits and rats. The mean malate dehydrogenase-activity was found to be twice as high as the mean lactate dehydrogenase, which is the contrary of the situation found in human serum. No significant diural alterations of the examined enzyme activities were established. The differences found between the animal and the human enzyme activities in serum are explained by species-determined peculiarities of metabolism or specific enzyme configuration.

Soluble enzymes were immobilized and visualized by polyacrylamide gel slabs, impregnated with the incubation medium including auxiliary enzymes. The method has several advantages over existing techniques which make use of gel films or a semipermeable membrane. The diffusion of tissue compounds is effectively limited, while auxiliary enzymes may be operative. Moreover the viscosity of the medium is temperature-independent so that the incubation temperature can be varied. To demonstrate the suitability of the method glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, phosphoglucomutase and aldolase were visulaized in human or rat skeletal muscle. Cytosolic and mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were both visualized in the absence of added NAD+ and menadione. For the visualization of ATP producint enzymes, like creatine kinase and pyruvate kinase, the method is not suitable.

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.

Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI), an autosomal recessive defect of diamino acid transport, is characterized chemically by renal hyperdiaminoaciduria, especially lysinuria, and by impaired formation of urea with hyperammonemia after protein ingestion. Our 20 patients thrived during breast-feeding, but ingestion of cow's milk caused diarrhea and vomiting. When able to select their diet, they rejected all protein-rich foods. They were short staturated and had weak atrophic muscles, osteoporosis, hepatomegaly and often splenomegaly. Four patients were mentally retarded. Fifteen patients had leukocyte counts below 4,000/mm3, and 17 patients had platelet counts below 150,000/mm3. Serum lactate dehydrogenase activity was constantly increased, and transaminase and aldolase activities were often increased. In the infants' livers, changes were only revealed by electron microscopy: increased and vesicular smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and abundance of glycogen particles in the hepatocytes. In the older patients, light microscopy demonstrated clearly limited areas where hepatocytes had large pale cytoplasm and small pyknotic nuclei. The diamino acids lysine, arginine and ornithine had plasma concentrations only one-third to one-half the normal mean; the renal clearances were clearly increased. Oral diamino acid loading tests suggested impaired intestinal absorption. Urea is built in the liver through transformation of ornithine to arginine, and cleavage of arginine to ornithine and urea. The addition of ornithine to an intravenous I-alanine loading prevented the hyperammonemia and normalized the urea production. Therefore, the diet has been supplemented with arginine, and more protein has been added. This therapy has lead to a remarkable catch-up growth in some patients. The pathophysiology of LPI is explained. Because of defective intestinal absorption and incrased renal loss, the diamino acids have a low plasma concentration. Their transport from plasma to hepatocytes is also impaired, and the liver becomes deficient in ornithine. This retards the urea cycle, and leads to postprandial hyperammonemia and protein aversion. The presence of the transport defect in the hepatocytes distinguishes LPI from other hyperdibasicaminoacidurias.

Serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, creatine phosphokinase and aldolase activity were determined in healthy control subjects and in lepromatous and tuberculoid leprosy patients from Ethiopia. Sera from lepromatous patients showed a higher total LDH activity compared with control subject. The values for tuberculoid leprosy patients were similar to those of controls. Sera from normal healthy controls showed a higher proportion of LDH-H form (72%) while lepromatous leprosy patient's sera exhibited a higher proportion of LDH-M form (55%). Tuberculoid leprosy patients showed a pattern similar to that of healthy controls. A possible significance of these observations is discussed. No significant variations were observed in fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase activity within the different types of disease and controls. Although creatine phosphokinase levels in different types of leprosy decreased significantly from those of normal healthy, it falls within the reported variation of the activity in normal sera.
