The binding of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) has been studied at pH 6.5 and 8.5, at 5,25, and 40 degrees C, by calorimetry, fluorometry, spectrophotometry, equilibrium dialysis, and flow dialysis. As reported earlier for pH 7.3 (Velick S.F., Baggott, J.P., and Sturtevant, J.M. (1971), Biochemistry 10, 779), the binding is accompanied by enthalpy changes which become rapidly more negative as the temperature increases, with delta Cp = -500 to -750 cal deg-1 (mole of NAD+ bound)-1, and by entropy changes which also, as required by the large negative delta Cp, become rapidly more negative with increasing temperature. The binding data at pH 6.5 can be fitted on the basis of either four identical noninteracting sites, or of four sites showing a small degree of negative cooperativity. The data at pH 8.5, particularly at 40 degrees C, require the introduction of positive cooperativity, as was previously shown by Kirschner et al. (Kirschner, K., Eigen, M., Bittman, R., and Voigt, B. (1966), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 56, 1661), and can be equally well fitted on the basis of a sequential model (Adair, G.S. (1925), J. Biol. Chem. 63, 529) or a concerted model (Monod, J., Wyman, J., and Changeux, J.P. (1965), J. Mol. Biol. 12, 88). It is proposed that the observed thermodynamic changes are largely the result of a hydrophobic effect due to a decrease in the exposure of nonpolar groups to the solvent, and of a tightening of the protein structure when the coenzyme is bound with concomitant decrease in the number of easily excitable internal degrees of freedom.

An investigation was made of changes in subunit interactions in glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase on binding NAD+, NADH and other substrates by using the previously developed method of measurement of rates and extent of subunit exchange between the rabbit enzyme (R4), yeast enzyme (Y4) and rabbit-yeast hybrid (R2Y2) [Osborne & Hollaway (1974) Biochem. J. 143, 651-662]. The free energy of activation for the conversion of tetramer into dimer for the rabbit enzyme (R4 leads to 2R2) is increased by at least 12kJ/mol in the presence of NAD+. This increase is interpreted in terms of an NAD+-induced 'tightening' of the tetrameric structure probably involving increased interaction at the subunit interfaces across the QR plane of the molecule [see Buehner et al. (1974) J. Mol. Biol. 82, 563-585]. This tightening of the structure only occurs on binding the third NAD+ molecule to a given enzyme molecule. Conversely, binding of NADH causes a decrease in the free energy of activation for the R4 leads to 2R2 and Y4 leads to 2Y2 conversions by at least 10kJ/mol. This is interpreted as a NADH-induced 'loosening' of the structures arising from decreased interactions across the subunit interfaces involving the QR dissociation plane. In the presence of NADH the increase in the rate of subunit exchange is such that it is not possible to separate the hybrid from the other species if electrophoresis is carried out with NADH in the separation media. In the presence of a mixture of NADH and NAD+ the effect of NAD+ on subunit exchange is dominant. The results are discussed in terms of the known co-operativty between binding sites in glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases.

Using NAD analogues as ligands, the structural requirements for negative cooperativity in binding to rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were examined. Although the affinity of nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide is considerably lower than that of NAD+, it also binds to the enzyme with negative cooperatively. Two pairs of nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide binding sitess were distinguished, one pair having an affinity for the analogue which is 15 times that of the second pair. Negative cooperativity is also found in the Km values for the analogue. Thus modification of the adenine ring of NAD+ to hypoxanthine does not abolish negative cooperativity in coenzyme binding. Adenosine diphosphoribose binding to the same enzyme shows neither positive nor negative cooperativity, indicating that cooperativity apparently requires an intact nicotinamide ring in the coenzyme structure, under the conditions of these experiments. Occupancy of the nicotinamide subsite of the coenzyme binding site is not necessary for half-of-sites reactivity of alkylating or acylating compounds (Levitzki, A. (1974), J. Mol, Biol. 90, 451-458). However, it can be important in the negative cooperativity in ligand binding, as illustrated by adenosine diphosphoribose which fails to exhibit negative cooperativity. Occupancy of the adenine subsite by adenine is important for stabilization of the enzyme against thermal denaturation. Whether the stabilization is due to an altered conformation of the subunits or stabilization of the preexisting structure of the apoenzyme cannot be determined from these studies. However, nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide does not contribute to enzyme stability although it serves as a substrate and shows negative cooperativity.

An investigation was made of the effect of NAD+ analogues on subunit interactions in yeast and rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases by using the subunit exchange (hybridization) method described previously [e.g. see Osborne & Hollaway (1975) Biochem. J. 151, 37-45]. The ligands ATP, ITP, ADP, AMP, cyclic AMP and ADP-ribose like NADH, all caused an apparent weakening of intramolecular subunit interactions, whereas NAD+ caused an apparent increase in the stability of the tetrameric enzyme molecules. A mixture of NMN and AMP, although it did not simulate completely the NAD+-induced 'tightening' of the enzyme structure, did result in a more than 20-fold decrease in the rate of subunit exchange compared with that in the presence of AMP alone. These results show that occupancy of the NMN subsite of the enzyme NAD+-binding site is insufficient in itself to give the marked tightening of the enzyme structure induced by NAD+. The 'tightening' effect is specific in that it seems to require a phosphodiester link between NMN and ADP-ribose. These effects are discussed in terms of the detailed X-ray structure of the lobster holoenzyme [Buehner et al. (1974) J. Mol. Biol. 90, 25-49].

Serratia marcescens Sa-3 possesses two homoserine dehydrogenases and neither has any aspartokinase activity unlike the case of Escherichia coli enzymes. The two enzymes have been separated. One of them is active with either NAD+ or NADP+ and has been purified about 180-fold to homogeneity. This enzyme is completely repressed by the presence of 1 mM methionine or homoserine in the growth medium, but its activity is unaffected by any amino acid of the aspartate family either singly or together. In many of its properties (such as pH optimum, Km for substrate and cofactors), it resembles its counterpart in E. coli K12. Potassium ions stabilize the enzyme but are not essential for activity. Its molecular weight is around 155,000 as determined by gel filtration and approximately 76,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This suggests that the enzyme has two subunits (polypeptide chains) in the molecule: 8 M urea has no effect on enzyme activity. This enzyme represents approximately 30% of the total homoserine dehydrogenase activity of S. marcescens unlike in Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli K12 where it is a minor or a negligible component.

The "in vivo" effects of L-phenylalanine on the gluconeogenic pathway in the liver of fasted rats with experimentally induced phenylketonuria-like characteristics have been investigated. Significant increases of the fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate and glucose concentrations were observed. The study of the effect of L-phenylalanine on the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial redox state and energy charge showed an increase in the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio while the energy charge was virtually unchanged. The effects of phenylalanine and its metabolic derivatives (phenylacetate, phenylethylamine, phenyl-lactate, o-hydroxyphenylacetate and phenylpyruvate) on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) and 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30) in rat liver have been also investigated. Phenylpyruvate inhibited the lactate dehydrogenase activity with a Ki of 5.3 mM. Phenylpyruvate also inhibited both the mitochondrial (Ki = 4 mM) and cytoplasmic (Ki = 5 mM) malate dehydrogenase activities. Phenylpyruvate, phenylacetate and o-hydroxyphenylacetate inhibited the 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity with Ki values of 0.7, 6.0 and 9.5 mM respectively.

Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) from Drosophila melanogaster has been purified to homogeneity by immunoaffinity chromatography, and its kinetic parameters determined. Drosophila XDH exhibits ordered binding for substrate and NAD+, analogous to the corresponding enzymes from vertebrate sources. The wild-type enzyme exhibits a Km for xanthine of 2.4 X 10(-5) M, and for NAD+ of 4.0 X 10(-5) M. XDH purified from a genetic variant exhibiting elevated levels of enzyme activity has similar kinetic constants. The results provide further evidence that the site of variation in the latter strain results in higher steady state numbers of XDH molecules per fly.

Lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase are metabolically coupled by the anaerobic dismutation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and by the NAD redox state. This causes the concentrations of lactate and glycerol 3-phosphate to accumulate proportionally during anaerobic muscle contraction; these concentrations are high relative to those in aerobic tissues such as liver. We show that the isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from chicken breast muscle have Km values for lactate and glycerol 3-phosphate, respectively, that are 10-fold higher than the Km values measured for the lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase isoenzymes from chicken liver. The association of proportionally higher Km values with the potential for proportionally higher accumulation of substrates suggests that the isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from chicken muscle have evolved in parallel as a coupled metabolic unit distinct from the coupled isoenzymes in liver. The parallelism observed for the reduced substrates extends to the oxidized substrates, and to the coenzymes, NAD+ and NADH.

Pre-purified preparations of myoinositol-1-phosphate synthase (E.C. 5.5.1.4) from rat testes can be purified to homogeneity by first crystallizing the enzyme according to JAKOBY and then recrystallizing it at a pH value close to the isoelectric point while slowly increasing the temperature from 0 to 15 degrees C. This method gives a much yield of homogeneous enzyme than the previously used purification by affinity chromatography. It was further found that the pure enzyme contains close to 2 mol NAD+ per mol enzyme; it does not contain any metal. At substrate saturation the enzyme binds close to 1 mol substrate per mol enzyme, as determined by using radioactively labelled substrate and binding it to the enzyme by reduction with NaBH4. The reaction catalyzed by the enzyme is irreversible.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from testes and kidneys of the inbred strain of mice (DBA/2J) by a simple two-step affinity column procedure. This involved the sequential application of 8-(6-aminohexyl)-amino-AMP- and -2', 5'-ADP-Sepharose columns and biospecific elution with NADP+ in both steps. The molecular and biochemical properties of the purified enzyme were studied in detail. These include the molecular weight determination, amino acid composition, steady-state kinetics, inactivation by high temperature, urea and iodoacetate, and immunology. The purified enzyme from mouse kidneys or testes was shown to be a tetramer with a molecular weight of 220,000. The enzyme is highly specific for glucose-6-phosphate, exhibits almost no activity with NAD+ as a coenzyme and is little inhibited by AMP or ATP. Michaelis constants for glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+ were determined to be 50 microM and 10 microM respectively. NADPH is a competitive inhibitor of NADP+ and has a Ki of 18 microM. Rabbit antisera against glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were raised. The antisera also cross-react with the same enzyme from human and guinea pig.
