A method is presented by which rat facial processes from different stages were obtained in pure fraction. The morphology, and protein and DNA contents in free dissected facial processes were determined. Facial processes of embryonic rats aged 9-15 days were analyzed by isoelectric focusing for their isoenzymic distribution of four enzymes: lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, fructose diphosphate aldolase and phosphoglycerate mutase. A dominance of LDH-5, LDH-4 and LDH-3 isoenzymes was observed. As a comparison, LDH isoenzymes from mandibular and maxillary processes of rat embryos aged 9-11 days only revealed LDH-5 and to a smaller extent LDH-4. The results support the presence of a prominent anaerobic metabolism in these tissues during early facial development. The change to LDH-3 development correlates well with the formation of new blood vessels. From the ninth embryonic day, isoenzyme BB of creatine phosphokinase was present and during days 10-15 MB and MM developed. Isoenzyme A4 of fructose diphosphate aldolase was present from the ninth embryonic day and isoenzymes A3C and A2C2 developed during days 10-15. From the tenth embryonic day, isoenzyme BB of phosphoglycerate mutase was present and during days 10-15 isoenzyme MB and MM developed. Isoenzyme development was first seen in mandibular processes, followed by maxillary, lateral nasal and medial nasal processes, and it preceded morphologic evidence of skeletal muscle formation.

The transmural distribution of five glucose metabolizing enzymes (hexokinase; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; phosphofructokinase; aldolase; and lactate dehydrogenase) were explored in the left and in the right ventricle wall of rat, ox and pig hearts. The levels of most of these enzyme activities were different in the different animal species and (within the same species) in the two ventricles. Most of these enzyme activities were found to be non-uniformly distributed across the left (but not across the right) ventricle wall. Differences in the transmural distribution of enzyme activities were detected among the three examined mammalian species.

The age-related changes in the activities of five glucose-metabolizing enzymes (hexokinase, HK; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, G6P-DH; aldolase, ALD; phosphofructokinase, PFK; and lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) were investigated in the walls of left and right ventricles of rats of various age-groups (1-24 months). Age-related changes were found in the activities of all of the enzymes in both ventricles during growth (with significant decreases between 2 and 6 months of age) and in the levels of PFK and LDH in the left ventricle during ageing (with a significant increase between 12 and 24 months of age). The distribution of the enzyme activities across the wall of both ventricles was quite uniform in young, adult and mature rats (the distribution of G6P-DH activity in the left ventricle wall at 2 months of age was the only notable exception) but became non-uniform in the old rats with regard to G6P-DH, PFK, LDH and probably HK in the left ventricle and G6P-DH and HK in the right ventricle. These data support the hypothesis that alterations connected with ageing do not lead to a generalized decline of cardiac metabolic capacity, and that they are also the result of specific adaptive modifications, perhaps related to alteration in the distribution of the work load and/or of nutrition across the ventricular wall.

The specific activities of glucosephosphate isomerase, aldolase, triosephosphate isomerase, glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were all higher in the synaptoplasmic fraction from rat brain than in 100,000 g supernatant fraction of rat brain homogenates when the supernatants were prepared in high ionic strength solutions. Four enzymes in synaptosomes and two enzymes in homogenates were associated with particulate fractions as indicated by the large increase in specific activity of the enzymes when samples were treated with 0.3 M KCl before centrifugation. Glucosephosphate isomerase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were the enzymes that showed a large increase in specific activity following salt treatment of isolated, synaptosomal membrane while aldolase and pyruvate kinase were the two enzymes which showed a large increase in specific activity in the high speed supernatant fractions. Because the specific activities of many enzymes are found to be elevated not only in synaptosomes but in synaptosomal membrane fractions it is suggested that these enzymes may provide the potential for significantly enhanced glycolysis at these locations.

In early experiments Ah receptor appeared to be localized in cytosol when in its unoccupied state and it was thought that the receptor translocated into nuclei only when occupied by its ligands. However, a recent report [Whitlock and Galeazzi (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 980-985] concluded that unoccupied Ah receptor in the intact cell was primarily located within the nucleus and that apparent 'cytosolic' Ah receptor was a redistribution artifact caused by fractionation of cells in large volumes of buffer. We examined the effect of buffer volume and ionic strength on apparent 'cytosolic' versus 'nuclear' distribution of unoccupied Ah receptor in liver from C57BL/6J mice and Sprague-Dawley rats as well as Hepa-1c1c9 cells in culture. In all three systems the Ah receptor appears to shift out of the nuclear fraction and into the cytosolic fraction as the volume of buffer is increased or when the ionic strength of the buffer is increased. In each system, however, the distribution of the Ah receptor was identical to the distribution of each of three standard cytosolic marker enzymes: aldolase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase. Co-distribution of unoccupied Ah receptor with these cytosolic marker enzymes during fractionation at varied buffer volumes and ionic strengths makes it seem unlikely that the unoccupied receptor is predominantly a 'nuclear' component in intact cells. Marker enzyme data favor an interpretation that unoccupied Ah receptor is primarily cytoplasmic or that this soluble protein is in equilibrium between cytoplasm and nucleus.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, acylphosphatase and other soluble enzymes (creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase and pyruvate kinase) were assayed in muscle biopsies from patients affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and from normal controls. Specific activities of all the soluble enzymes were decreased in dystrophic muscle, acylphosphatase exhibiting the most marked and significant decrease comparable to that of creatine kinase, in spite of a moderate increase in serum levels. Also, Ca2+-ATPase, particularly the calcium-dependent activity, was decreased in dystrophic muscle. A positive correlation, higher than with the other soluble enzymes, was obtained between acylphosphatase specific activity and the percentage of Ca2+-activation of Ca2+-ATPase. These findings: suggest an impairment of microsomal calcium uptake which could be, at least in part, responsible for sarcoplasmic calcium accumulation observed in DMD; do not disagree with an hypothesized role of acylphosphatase in intracellular calcium homeostasis, consistent with the enzyme's demonstrated hydrolytic activity on the phosphorylated intermediate of Ca2+-ATPase.

A South African isolate of bluetongue virus type 3 was inoculated intradermally into three different breeds of British sheep under conditions designed to test its virulence in animals under stress. All animals inoculated developed a pyrexia and viraemia followed by clinical evidence of bluetongue disease. Marked alterations in serum enzyme levels, in particular of creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and aldolase occurred in the more severely affected animals. Nine out of the 12 inoculated animals subsequently died. No major differences in response could be detected in the different breeds of sheep nor in the stressed compared with the unstressed groups. The virulence of this bluetongue virus isolate was thereby confirmed and its potential risk to the British sheep industry. Consequently, stringent import regulations must be maintained to prevent its entry into Britain.

Vesiculated fragments of chicken skeletal muscle transverse tubule (TT) membranes were analyzed for their content of loosely associated and integral membrane proteins. Of particular interest was the identification of the magnesium-stimulated ATPase (Mg-ATPase), which is characteristically located in native isolated TT vesicles of chicken skeletal muscle [R. A. Sabbadini and V. R. Okamoto (1983) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 223, 107-119]. A number of the proteins found in vesicular TT preparations were found to be extractable by a mild Triton-X100 treatment and were identified as aldolase, enolase, creatine kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and pyruvate kinase. Approximately 60% of TT-associated protein was extracted with Triton, resulting in a twofold enrichment of the Mg-ATPase. Concommitantly, one core integral membrane protein possessing a Mr of 102,000 was enriched, suggesting that it is responsible for the Mg-ATPase activity present in chicken skeletal muscle TT membranes.

The isoenzyme patterns of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and aldolase were investigated in cultured normal and carcinogen-treated human endometrial stromal cells. Both normal and carcinogen-treated cells had similar phosphofructokinase and aldolase isoenzymes. Distinctive changes in hexokinase and LDH isoenzyme patterns were found in the carcinogen-treated stromal cells. The LDH isoenzyme patterns of the carcinogen-treated stromal cells were shifted toward the muscle LDH forms. This is comparable to the alteration of LDH isoenzyme profiles observed in cell lines established from human uterine sarcomas. The two tissue culture media used affected the LDH isoenzyme patterns of endometrial stromal cells but differences between the LDH isoenzyme patterns of control and carcinogen-treated cells were detected regardless of the growth medium used. Total LDH activity was not significantly different in control and carcinogen-treated stromal cells. The hexokinase isoenzyme patterns expressed by the carcinogen-treated stromal cells were distinctly different from the normal hexokinase patterns. The treated stromal cells contained both hexokinase I and II, whereas the normal cells contained only hexokinase I. Hexokinase and LDH isoenzyme patterns may serve as markers with which to evaluate carcinogen-induced neoplastic changes in cultured endometrial stromal cells.

Interactions of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (D-glucose-6-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.9), aldolase (D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate lyase, EC 4.1.2.13), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12), triose-phosphate isomerase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.1), phosphoglycerate mutase (D-phosphoglycerate 2,3-phosphomutase, EC 5.4.2.1), phosphoglycerate kinase (ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3), enolase (2-phospho-D-glycerate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.11), pyruvate kinase (ATP:Pyruvate O2-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) and lactate dehydrogenase [S)-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) with F-actin, among the glycolytic enzymes listed above, and with phosphofructokinase (ATP:D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.11) were studied in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol). Both purified rabbit muscle enzymes and rabbit muscle myogen, a high-speed supernatant fraction containing the glycolytic enzymes, were used to study enzyme-F-actin interactions. Following ultracentrifugation, F-actin and poly(ethylene glycol) tended to increase and KCl to decrease the pelleting of enzymes. In general, the greater part of the pelleting occurred in the presence of both F-actin and poly(ethylene glycol) and the absence of KCl. Enzymes that pelleted more in myogen preparations than as individual purified enzymes in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) and the absence of F-actin were tested for specific enzyme-enzyme associations, several of which were observed. Such interactions support the view that the internal cell structure is composed of proteins that interact with one another to form the microtrabecular lattice.
