The synthesis and purification of the 8-azidoadenine analogs of NAD+ (azido-NAD+) and FAD (AZIDO-FAD) from 8-azidoadenosine 5'-phosphate and NMN+ or FMN, respectively, is described. The coenzyme analogs are characterized by absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism spectra. The two latter methods indicate a folded structure of azido-NAD+ and azido-FAD. Upon irradiation at 300 mn in aqueous solution, a change of the ultraviolet absorption spectra of the coenzyme analogs indicates photolysis of the azido group. The coenzyme properties of azido-NAD+ are demonstrated with lactate, glutamate and alcohol dehydrogenase yielding 14, 154 and 60%, respectively, of the V observed with NAD+. Concomitantly, the Km values of the coenzyme analogs are 1.7, 3.5 and 3-fold higher than those of NAD+. Azido-FAD is shown to be coenzyme of apo-glucose oxidase. The recovery of activity, however, is much slower in the presence of azido-FAD than with FAD. A final value of 66% of the activity with FAD is obtained. With apo-D-amino acid oxidase, azido-FAD is completely inactive, although it is specifically bound to the enzyme.

Methods are described in which liberation of ammonia from amino acid substrates by the D- and L-amino acid oxidases may be coupled with the NADH-dependent reductive amination of 2-oxoglutarate catalysed by exogenous glutamate dehydrogenase (L-glutamate: NAD oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.2). The inhibition of D-amino acid oxidase (D-amino acid:O2 oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.3.3) by ADP needed to activate and stabilise glutamate dehydrogenase was relieved by FAD, and the substrate was D-alanine at approximately 6-fold Km concentration. Neither FAD or FMN were required in the L-amino acid oxidase (L-amino acid:O2 oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.3.2) assay; this utilised L-leucine as substrate in a concentration approximately 7-fold the Km value. The methods were reasonably sensitive and precise, and a linear relationship between activity and enzyme concentration prevailed up to an absorbance change of 0.050 per min. They have the advantage of being amenable to automation and to employment of fluorescence techniques should greater sensitivity be required.

D-Aspartate oxidase was isolated from the pig thyroid gland and purified over 600 times. The enzyme was obtained in an inactive form of apoenzyme and was activated by FAD. It was specific towards the D-form of aspartic acid, had no effect on the L-form, and was also inactive towards other monocarboxlyic D-amino acids. The enzyme was only slightly active towards D-glutamate. The Michaelis constant based on the Lineaweaver-Burk plot was 5 mmol/l. The optimum pH was 8.7. D-Aspartate oxidase was inhibited by KCN in concentrations varying from 0.05 to 1 mmol/l. The biological role of this enzyme in the thyroid gland is discussed.

The effects of three tetrachlorobiphenylols [2',3',4',5'-tetrachloro-2-biphenylol (1); 2',3',4',5'-tetrachloro-4- biphenylol (2); and 2',3',4',5'-tetrachloro-3-biphenylol (3)]; three monochlorobiphenylols [5-chloro-2-biphenylol (5), 3-chloro-2-biphenylol (6); and 2-chloro-4-biphenylol (7)] and a tetrachlorobiphenyldiol [3,3',5,5'-tetrachloro-4,4'-biphenyldiol (4) on respiration, adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity, and swelling in isolated mouse liver mitochondria have been investigated. Tetrachlorobiphenylols (1-3) and the tetrachlorobiphenyldiol (4) inhibited state-3 respiration in a concentration-dependent manner with succinate as substrate (flavin adenine dinucleotide [FAD]-linked) and the tetrachlorobiphenyldiol (4) caused a more pronounced inhibitory effect on state-3 respiration than the other congeners. The monochlorobiphenylols 5-7 were less active as inhibitors of state-3 mitochondrial respiration and significant effects were observed only at higher concentration (greater than or equal to 0.4 microM). However, in the presence of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-linked substrates (glutamate plus malate), hydroxylated PCBs (1-7) significantly inhibited mitochondrial state-3 respiration in a concentration-dependent manner. Compounds 5, 6, and 7 uncoupled mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation only in the presence of FAD-linked substrate as evidenced by increased oxygen consumption during state-4 respiratory transition, stimulating ATPase activity, releasing oligomycin-inhibited respiration, and inducing mitochondrial swelling (5, 6, and 7). Tetrachlorobiphenylols 1, 2, and 3 had no effect on mitochondrial ATPase activity while the tetrachlorobiphenyldiol, 4, decreased the enzyme activity. The possible inhibitory site of electron transport by these compounds and their toxicologic significance is discussed.

Flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO; EC 1.14.13.8) was purified from mouse kidney microsomes and compared to that isolated from mouse liver microsomes. The purified enzymes from kidney and liver appeared as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 58,000 daltons. On wide range (pH 3.5 to 9.0) isoelectric focusing, FMOs from kidney and liver resolved as a single band with an isoelectric point of 8.2. The enzymes from both kidney and liver have a pH optimum of 9.2. Thiobenzamide-S-oxidation catalyzed by both enzymes was sensitive to inhibition by the competitive inhibitors thiourea and methimazole. At an n-octylamine concentration of 3 mM, thiobenzamide-S-oxidation by the kidney FMO was increased by 122% and that by the liver FMO by 148%. Km and Vmax values were determined and compared between the two tissue enzymes for xenobiotic substrates containing nucleophilic nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus atoms. In general, for most FMO substrates, Km and Vmax values were similar between kidney and liver FMO with only a few exceptions. The Km and Vmax values for fenthion for kidney were only half of those observed for liver FMO. Fonofos was unusual in having a low Km as well as a low Vmax for both tissue enzymes. Anti-sera developed to the FMO purified from kidney and liver showed cross-reactivity with each purified enzyme as well as with a protein with the same molecular weight as the purified FMO present in both kidney and liver microsomes. These bands showed equal intensity based on an equivalent amount of protein. Analysis of kidney and liver FMO by proteolytic digestion followed by visualization of peptides by silver staining or immunoblotting showed only minor differences between the enzymes of the two tissues. The amino acid composition of both mouse kidney and liver FMO was low in methionine and histidine and rich in aspartate/asparagine, glutamate/glutamine, leucine, valine and glycine. Edman degradation of the purified mouse kidney and liver FMO provided a single amino acid sequence of the NH2-terminus. This sequence matched exactly with the cDNA-deduced sequence reported for the pig and rabbit liver beginning with the fifth amino acid and contained the highly conserved FAD-binding domain Gly-X-Gly-X-X-Gly, commonly found in a number of other FAD-binding proteins. These studies indicate that the renal and hepatic forms of FMO from mouse are similar enzymes that are immunologically related and show only a few minor differences.

The acetylenic thioester, 2-octynoyl-CoA, inactivates medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase from pig kidney by two distinct pathways depending on the redox state of the FAD prosthetic group. Inactivation of the oxidized dehydrogenase occurs with labeling of an active site glutamate residue and elimination of CoASH. Incubation of the reduced dehydrogenase with 2-octynoyl-CoA rapidly forms a kinetically stable dihydroflavin species which is resistant to reoxidation using trans-2-octenoyl-CoA, molecular oxygen, or electron transferring flavoprotein. The reduced enzyme derivative shows extensive bleaching at 446 nm with shoulders at 320 and 380 nm. Denaturation of the reduced derivative in 80% methanol yields a mixture of products which was characterized by HPLC, by uv/vis, and by radiolabeling experiments. Approximately 20% of the flavin is recovered as oxidized FAD, about 40% is retained covalently attached to the protein, and the remainder is distributed between several species eluting after FAD on reverse-phase HPLC. The spectrum of one of these species ressembles that of a N(5)-C(4a) dihydroflavin adduct. These data suggest that a primary reduced flavin species undergoes various rearrangements during release from the protein. The possibility that the inactive modified enzyme represents a covalent adduct between 2-octynoyl-CoA and reduced flavin is discussed. Analogous experiments using enzyme substituted with 1,5-dihydro-5-deaza-FAD show rapid and quantitative reoxidation of the flavin by 0.5 eq of 2-octynoyl-CoA.

Bioenergetics of isolated lung and heart mitochondria from adult and aged rats were examined in the presence of glutamate (NAD-linked substrate) or succinate + rotenone (FAD-linked substrate) following ozone exposure (3.0 ppm, 8 hr). In controls, several differences were observed between adults and aged in both organ preparations. Following exposure, all bioenergetic parameters were decreased significantly in lung preparations from both adult and aged rats. In heart mitochondria, the respiration rates in state 3 and in uncoupled state, and the ADP/O ratio were decreased significantly in both exposed age groups. The respiratory control ratio (RCR) was decreased significantly only in the aged exposed rats. These results suggest that acute exposure to high levels of ozone alters energy production in both lung and heart mitochondria of adult and aged rats.

A new flavoenzyme using molecular oxygen to oxidize L-glutamic acid has been purified to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, from the culture medium of Streptomyces endus. Hydrogen peroxide, 2-oxoglutaric acid and ammonia are formed as products. Among 25 amino acids tested including D-glutamic acid, L-glutamine and L-aspartic acid, only L-glutamic acid is converted. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be about 90 kDa by gel chromatography and 50 kDa by SDS/PAGE. The subunit contains 1 molecule noncovalently bound FAD. The absorption spectrum shows maxima at 273, 355 and 457 nm and the isoelectric point is at pH 6.2. The Km value for L-glutamic acid in air-saturated phosphate pH 7.0 was estimated to be 1.1 mM, the Km for oxygen was calculated to be 1.86 mM at saturating concentration of L-glutamic acid. The enzymic reaction is inhibited by Ag+ and Hg2+ ions. The enzyme described here distinctly differs from two microbial L-glutamate oxidases purified hitherto, with regard to extremely high substrate specificity and to the subunit structure.

Effects of methotrexate (MTX) on mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and ion transport were studied. MTX decreases the membrane potential (delta psi) upon energization of the mitochondrial membrane by NAD+-linked substrates and decreases the amplitude and velocity of swelling induced by glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate. MTX also has an inhibitory effect on the activities of the oxidation enzymes of NAD+-linked substrates without interfering with the oxidation systems of FAD-linked substrates. The effects of MTX could be interpreted as a consequence of a decrease in the ionic conductivity of the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Denaturation of DNA photolyase (deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase, EC 4.1.99.3) from Escherichia coli with guanidine hydrochloride or acidification to pH 2 released, in addition to FAD, a chromophore with the spectral and chromatographic properties of a reduced pterin. Treatment of the enzyme with iodine prior to acidification converted the chromophore to a stable, oxidized derivative, which was resolved by HPLC into four species with identical spectral properties. The same species, in the same distribution, were obtained from the yeast enzyme. The material isolated from the iodine-oxidized enzyme was shown to be a pterin by conversion to pterin-6-carboxylic acid with alkaline permanganate and was found to release glutamate upon acid hydrolysis. The presence of 10-formylfolate in the isolated, oxidized chromophore was demonstrated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and by deformylation and conversion to folic acid. Analysis of the distribution of polyglutamates revealed that the four species identified by HPLC corresponded to the tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexaglutamate derivatives of 10-formylfolate. The results were consistent with gamma linkages in the triglutamate derivative with additional glutamates linked via the alpha-carboxyl group of the preceding residue. Treatment with rat plasma hydrolase produced the monoglutamate derivative of 10-formylfolate. The native, enzyme-bound form of the folate cofactor was identified as 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate by effecting release and isolation at low pH to protect the 5,10-methenyl bridge and preserve the reduced pyrazine ring structure.
