The histochemistry of the neural cells was studied in the submandibular ganglia of 5 Callithrix jacchus (3 males and 2 females) and 4 Callithrix penicillata (2 males and 2 females). These cells contain neutral mucopolysaccharides, nucleoproteins and lipidic materia, but are apparently devoid of glycogen. It is impossible to demonstrate in them any reactivity for UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, ATPase at pH 6.3, leucine aminopeptidase and alanyl aminopeptidas. The reaction for the other searched enzymes was as follows: weak (F-1,6-P Ald and cytochrome oxidase), weak to moderate (ADH, 6-P-GDH, ICDH, SDH, MDH, alpha-GPDH and beta-OHBDH), moderate (G-6-PDH, F-1,6-PA, LDH and GDH), moderate to strong (ATPase at pH 7.4, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase) and strong (G-6-PA, NADH2,-TR, NADPH2-TR, ATPase at pH 8.5 and 9.4 and alkaline phosphatase).

The epithelial cells in the taste buds of C. jacchus and C. penicillata show a moderate amount of ribonucleic acid an a concentration of a PAS-positive diastase-resistant material at their apical part. These cells are devoid of UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, G-6-PA, alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, cholinesterase and MAO; they present a weak reaction of F-1, 6-P Ald, LDH, SDH, MDH, cytochrome oxidase, beta-OHBDH, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase and a stronger reaction to ADH, NADPH2-TR, ATPases, alpha-GPDH, alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and GDH. Although some enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and ATPases) have an almost uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller taste buds of the fungiform papillae. As a rule the apical part of the cells shows a stronger enzymatic reactivity. The taste buds of the marmosets are penetrated by acetylcholinesterase positive nerve fibers whereas the autonomic ganglia in the connective tissue contain both-acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase.

The structure and histochemistry of the palmar and plantar skin were studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). In this skin there exist well-developed epidermal ridges, to which are attached one or two ducts of sweat glands. A thick stratum corneum can be seen in the epidermis, while a distinct stratum lucidum cannot be isolated from the other layers. The stratum granulosum is constituted by one or three layers of cells containing keratohyalin granules. Melanin granulations are mainly concentrated in the basal cells of the epidermal ridges. Dendritic melanocytes and amelanotic melanocytes containing alkaline phosphatase are found among the epidermal cells. Glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylases are mainly present in the middle and lower Malpighian cells of the epidermal ridges. Alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, alanyl amino-peptidase and leucine aminopeptidase were absent in the epidermal cells. SDH, cytochrome oxidase, MAO and a certain number of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases (LDH, ADH, MDH, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH and GDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the basal cells and Malpighian layer. The NADP-dependent enzymes (G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, cis-aconistase and ICDH) were more reactive in the upper Malpighian layer and stratum granulosum. The stratum corneum showed some acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase reactivity. The collagenous fibers intertwined with a small number of very thin elastic ones and a larger amount of reticular fibers run almost parallel to the epidermal ridges in the papillary body. In the reticular dermis some fibers are disposed transversely to the epidermal ridges. Meissner corpuscles reactive to butyrylcholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, nonspecific esterase and G-6-PA are disposed at regular intervals and frequently at each side of the epidermal ridges. Pacinian corpuscles were found only in the hypodermis. The eccrine sweat glands contain glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylase in their secretory, ductal and myoepithelial cells. The secretory part shows a uniform reactivity for every dehydrogenase because it contains only one type of cells (clear cells). The intraepidermal segment of the ducts shows a stronger reactivity to nonspecific esterase and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases than the epithelial cells around it.

Histoenzymologic differences between the parotid, paramandibular and submandibular glands were studied in six Callithrix jacchus (four males and two females) and four Callithrix penicillata (three males and one female). The acinous cells of the paramandibular glands showed a stronger reactivity for the diaphorases (NADH2-TR and NADPH2-TR) and for a certain group of enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism (F-1-6P Ald, LDH, ADH, G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH), lipid metabolism (alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase), protein metabolism (alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase and GDH) and respiratory chain (cris-aconitase and ICDH). The nonspecific esterase was more reactive in the basal part of of the mucous cells of the submandibular glands. Conversely, some enzymes of the respiratory chain (SDH, cytochrome oxidase and ATPases) showed a stronger reactivity in the serous cells of the parotid and submandibular glands. The paramandibular glands exhibited a lesser autonomic innervation than the parotid and submandibular.

Gluconobacter suboxydans contains membrane-bound D-glucose and alcohol dehydrogenases (GDH and ADH) as the primary dehydrogenases in the respiratory chain. These enzymes are known to be quinoproteins having pyrroloquinoline quinone as the prosthetic group. GDH reduces an artificial electron acceptor, ferricyanide, in the membrane, but not after solubilization with Triton X-100, while ADH can react with the electron acceptor even after solubilization and further purification. In this study, it has been shown that the ferricyanide reductase activity of GDH is restored by adding the supernatant solubilized with Triton X-100 to the residue, and also by incorporation of purified ADH into the membranes of an ADH-deficient strain. G. suboxydans var. alpha. In addition, the ferricyanide reductase activity of GDH was reconstituted in proteoliposomes from GDH, ADH, and ubiquinone-10. Thus, the results indicated that the electron transfer from GDH to ferricyanide was mediated by ubiquinone and ADH. The data also suggest that GDH and ADH transfer electrons mutually via ubiquinone in the respiratory chain.

The use of immobilization techniques or a solid-phase approach, allows several questions concerning interactions between sub-units of oligomeric enzymes, particularly dehydrogenases to be, answered are the monomers of ADH and LDH active per se, or are interactions necessary for their activity? Are the sub-units (such as those of ADH) identical from a kinetic point of view? Is the increase in activity due to the addition of ligands (as for GDH), the result of the formation of large aggregates, which appear simultaneously, or is this association a secondary effect? A technique using affinity chromatography, with the help of bifunctional nucleotide derivatives, is presented. This technique could prove useful for topographical studies, or provide new information on the spatial arrangements of the sub-units.

Two isosteric analogues of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, C-NAD (11) and C-PAD (12), in which the nicotinamide riboside portion is replaced by a C-nucleoside, were synthesized from 5-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)nicotinamide (7) and 6-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)picolinamide (8), respectively. Nucleoside 7 was prepared from the 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-(tetrahydropyranyl)-D-ribonolactone (13) and 3-cyano-5-lithiopyridine as reported earlier. Nucleoside 8 was obtained by conversion of the bromo function of the 6-(2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-D-altro-pentitol-1-yl)-2-bromopyrid ine (14) into a carboxamido group followed by mesylation of the anomeric hydroxyl group to give derivative 18. Treatment of 18 with CF3COOH/CHCl3 caused deisopropylidenation with simultaneous cyclization into the desired 6-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)picolinamide (8). NAD analogues, C-NAD (11) and C-PAD (12), were synthesized by imidazole-catalyzed coupling of the corresponding 5'-monophosphates of 7 and 8 with the adenosine-5'-monophosphate. Dinucleotide 11 was found to inhibit the proliferation of L1210 cells (IC50 = 7 microM) and to be a good competitive inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH, ID50 = 20 microM) as well as bovine glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH, Ki = 15 microM). Interestingly, C-NAD (11) caused extremely potent noncompetitive inhibition of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, Ki = 1.1 nM), whereas C-PAD (12) was found to be a much less potent competitive inhibitor (Ki = 20 microM) of ADH.

Previous studies have capitalized on ordered kinetic mechanisms in the design of biospecific affinity chromatographic methods for highly efficient purifications and mechanistic studies of enzymes. The most direct tactic has been the use of immobilised analogues of the following, usually enzyme-specific substrates, e.g., lactate/pyruvate in the case of lactate dehydrogenase for which NAD+ is the leading substrate. Such immobilised specific substrates are, however, often difficult or impossible to synthesise. The locking-on strategy reverses the tactic by using the more accessible immobilised leading substrate, immobilised NAD+, as adsorbent with soluble analogues of the enzyme-specific ligands (e.g., lactate in the case of lactate dehydrogenase) providing a substantial reinforcement of biospecific adsorption sufficient to effect adsorptive selection of an enzyme from a group of enzymes such as the NAD(+)-specific enzymes. The value of this approach is demonstrated using model studies with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, EC 1.1.1.1), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH, EC 1.4.1.3) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37). Purification of bovine liver GDH in high yield from crude extracts is described using the tactic.

The electrophoretic patterns of seven isozyme systems (ADH, AMY, AAT, GDH, LAP, MDH, and SOD) obtained from dormant seeds from 44 accessions belonging to 12 Petrocoptis taxa were compared in order to clarify taxonomic relationships within the genus. Overall, electrophoretic zymograms showed the presence of up 28 electromorphs, of which 26 were polymorphic among accessions. Mantel tests revealed a moderate level of correlation between the geographic distance matrix and several dissimilarity matrices based on the isozyme data (r=0.3052-0.3376). The electrophoretic profiles of seed isozymes did not match closely the analytical taxonomic framework drawn from morphology. Many electromorphs are widely distributed among Petrocoptis species, and since isozyme polymorphism is present within taxa, few species-specific markers have been found. However, a relationship between the geographic origin of the accessions and several electromorphs has been noticed. Isozyme data gave moderate support to the splitting of the genus into two groups previously defined on the basis of morphology and geographic distribution (western and eastern taxa). However, some samples belonging to P. hispanica and P. pseudoviscosa were somewhat intermediate between both groups as revealed by multivariate ordination techniques. Seed isozymes did not reveal any clear taxonomic grouping among western Petrocoptis species. In fact, no single segregate of this group is supported by the electrophoretic data.
