草鱼同工酶发育遗传学研究——Ⅰ.不同组织器官的同工酶分析

采用垂直淀粉凝胶电泳及特异性组织化学染色技术,研究了草鱼成体脑、眼、心、肾、肌、肝等6种组织中的6种同工酶系统(LDH、MDH、GDH、ADH、LDH、EST)的分化表达谱式。结果表明,草鱼的同工酶系统具有明显的组织特异性。与绝大多数硬骨鱼类相比,草鱼的LDH、m-MDH和ADH同工酶具有特殊的表达谱式:m-MDH和ADH均由两个基因座位编码;肾脏在LDH-A_3B与LDH-A_2B_3之间多出1条LDH酶带(LDH-X)。本文还讨论了草鱼同工酶的遗传基础和亚基组成,以及本实验的某些结果与其他作者的结果不相符的原因。     

金鱼同工酶的发生遗传学研究——Ⅲ.金鱼同工酶基因座位的加倍与多倍性

以鲫鱼和金鱼为材料,用葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)同工酶体系作为基因标志,从检测同工酶的多重组合形式来研究基因的加倍与演化。对彩鲫与金鱼G6PD和LDH同工酶的分析结果表明,它们均具有与四倍体鱼类相应的谱带。因而说明了金鱼的G6PD和LDH同工酶基因座位的加倍与染色体的多倍性有关,为金鱼是四倍体的假说提供了证据。而对MDH同工酶的分析却得到了与二倍体鱼类相同的谱带数。这可能与加倍基因发生突变而不表达有关。     

The effect of temperature acclimation on NADP-dependent dehydrogenase activity in the carp liver and various mechanisms of its regulation

Acclimation of carp both to the temperature fall (from 20 to 5 degrees C) and rise (from 20 to 30 degrees C) induces an increase in activity of cytoplasmic liver NADPH-generating enzymes--glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDG) and malic-enzyme (ME) 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDG) and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDG) activities are unchanged. Actinomycin D does not prevent cold activation of G6PDG but blocks activation of ME. "Warm" G6PDG has minimal Km value for glucose-6-phosphate and "warm" ME has minimal Km value for glucose-6-phosphate and "warm" ME has minimal Km value for malate at 25 degrees C "Cold" G6PDG and ME have the warmest Km values at 5 degrees C. Isozyme composition of cytoplasmic G6PDG (2 bands with Rf 0.16 and 0.20) does not change within the limits of 5-30 degrees C. The prolactin action on G6PDG and ME is similar to the effect of cold acclimation (activity increases Km value decreases, isozyme pattern (for G6PDG) remains unchanged). It is supposed that activation of G6PDG and ME during cold adaptation may be a result of the prolactin action on substrate-binding ability without changes in the enzyme biosynthesis and isozyme pattern.     

三种鲫鱼品系同工酶比较研究

采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶垂直板电泳技术,对彭泽鲫、银鲫D系以及野鲫三种鲫鱼品系的心、肝和肾脏组织的乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)、苹果酸酶(ME)、酯酶(EST)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)同工酶表型进行了比较研究.结果表明彭泽鲫乳酸脱氢酶同工酶比银鲫D系在肝组织多出二条酶带(LDH7'和LDH8');超氧化物歧化酶在心和肾组织中分别多出一条酶带(SOD12'),表明彭泽鲫和银鲫已在生化水平产生明显的分化,推测它们可能起源于不同的地区,由不同的祖先,独立演化而形成.此外,彭泽鲫和银鲫D系的同工酶电泳图谱都包含野鲫的基本酶带,而彭泽鲫和野鲫的酯酶同工酶电泳图谱尤为相似,推测彭泽鲫和银鲫可能起源于野鲫,而彭泽鲫和野鲫的关系较近,银鲫和野鲫的关系较远.     

Changes in enzyme activity of corn seedlings after foliar application of triacontanol

Changes in the activity of several enzymes in corn seedlings (Zea mays L.) after 1-triacontanol (TRIA) application have been analyzed. The specific activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in corn seedlings treated with TRIA increased rapidly. Three days after treatment, the TRIA-treated seedlings showed 89% and 39% more ICDH and 6PGDH activity per mg protein, respectively, than the untreated plants. Malate dehydrogenase activity increased in treated plants at a rate approximately equivalent to the increase in soluble protein. Acid phosphatase, peroxidase, and alkaline phosphatase activity remained relatively constant on a per plant basis and decreased slightly on a per mg protein basis. No qualitative changes were observed in the isozyme patterns of the enzymes analyzed by starch gel electrophoresis, although quantitative changes consistent with the increases using spectrophotometric assays were observed.     

DUPLICATE GENE EXPRESSION FOR ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE AND 6-PHOSPHOGLUCONATE DEHYDROGENASE IN DIPLOID SPECIES OF ELEUSINE (GRAMINEAE)

In the course of a survey of isozyme variation in the grass genus Eleusine, complex band patterns were observed for the enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD). These patterns were interpreted as the result of duplicate expression for one of the two genes that ordinarily codes subcellularly compartmentalized forms of each of these enzymes. The interpretation of IDH phenotypes was facilitated by intraspecific allelic variation at one of the putatively duplicated genes (Idh-2), and was verified by examining phenotype ratios in progeny arrays from selfed heterozygotes of E. indica. The lack of analogous intraspecific variation for 6PGD precluded genetic tests, but the duplicate nature of expression was supported by interspecific patterns of variation. Four out of the five diploid species of Eleusine studied (E. indica, E. jaegeri, E. multiflora, E. tristachya) exhibited both duplications; E. floccifolia appeared to lack the IDH duplication, but possessed the 6PGD duplication. Both enzymes showed evidence of hyperduplication in the tetraploid species E. coracana.

利用随机扩增多态ＤＮＡ技术对革鱼,兴国红鲤,野鲤的种群内,种群间以及种间的遗传变异亏待进行了定量分析。结果表明;草鱼与鲤的ＲＡＰＤ指纹图谱带型差异显著,草鱼与红鲤和鲤种间的平均带纹相似系数分别为０．２５８３和０．２３９４,遗传距离分别达到０．９３６２和１．２２７７。     

On hexokinase isozymes]

Electrophoretic study of hexokinase (HK) associated with the soluble fraction of mouse transplantable hepatoma 22a revealed that almost all bands of HK activities overlapped the bands of glucose-6-P dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activities in the gels. Similar results were obtained for liver, muscle and brain soluble fractions, as well as for various extracts from hepatoma 22a mitochondria and commercial preparation of yeast HK. A single type of HK, which does not overlap G6PDH activity, was located between types I and II (according to the Katzen classification) as a diffuse band of 1 hour manifestation. A possibility of structural organization of glycolytic enzymes in the cell essential for the quantitative estimation of the isozyme pattern is discussed.     

An electrophoretic analysis of the isozymes of malate dehydrogenase in several different plants

The particulate and soluble fractions of cell-free extracts from seeds, roots, and leaves of 10 different plants were examined electrophoretically for isozymes of malate dehydrogenase. Distinct isozyme patterns were observed for each plant and even for the individual tissues of each species. There were some isozymes in several different plant extracts with equal electrophoretic mobilities, but there was no isozyme band that was common to all tissues or to all plants.     

Age-related changes in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the subcellular fractions from the rat brain and the effect of dimethylaminoethanol

The activity of pentose phosphate pathway enzymes (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) was measured in the cytosol and the particulate fractions (mitochondrial-synaptosomal and microsomal) from the cerebrum and the cerebellum of the rats aged 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The results showed that the two enzymes occurred both in cytosol and particulate fractions. Both the enzymes were higher in the particulate fractions from cerebellum than in the same fractions from cerebrum. In both regions of the brain, particulate fraction enzymes showed an age-related decline in their activity, but the cytosol fraction enzymes remained unchanged in all the age groups. Dimethylaminoethanol, an important molecular constituent of some antiageing drugs, increased the activity of these enzymes in a dose dependent manner only in the particulate fractions.     

Developmental genetics of teleosts: a biochemical analysis of lake chubsucker ontogeny

Developing embryos of the lake chubsucker, Erimyzon sucetta, were analyzed with regard to both gross morphological changes and specific enzymatic changes from the unfertilized egg stage until some 3 weeks posthatching. Total activities of three enzymes—lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase—were determined throughout the course of development. Each of these different enzymes exhibited a different pattern of change during ontogeny. Electrophoretic analysis of qualitative changes in isozyme patterns was accomplished for these three enzymes and for α-amylase, glucosephosphate isomerase, mannosephosphate isomerase, creatine kinase, esterase, glutamate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, malate dehydrogenase, hexose diphosphatase, phosphoglucomutase, and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Many of the enzyme systems investigated exhibited rich patterns of ontogenetic change, while a few remained relatively unchanged throughout the interval studied. Several of the enzymes in particular metabolic pathways exhibited coincident changes suggestive of coordinate control. The appearance of several rather “tissue-specific” isozymes was closely correlated with the morphological and functional differentiation of these particular tissues or organs.     

Metabolism of retinaldehyde and other aldehydes in soluble extracts of human liver and kidney

Purification and characterization of enzymes metabolizing retinaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and octanaldehyde from four human livers and three kidneys were done to identify enzymes metabolizing retinaldehyde and their relationship to enzymes metabolizing other aldehydes. The tissue fractionation patterns from human liver and kidney were the same, indicating presence of the same enzymes in human liver and kidney. Moreover, in both organs the major NAD(+)-dependent retinaldehyde activity copurified with the propionaldehyde and octanaldehyde activities; in both organs the major NAD(+)-dependent retinaldehyde activity was associated with the E1 isozyme (coded for by aldh1 gene) of human aldehyde dehydrogenase. A small amount of NAD(+)-dependent retinaldehyde activity was associated with the E2 isozyme (product of aldh2 gene) of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Some NAD(+)-independent retinaldehyde activity in both organs was associated with aldehyde oxidase, which could be easily separated from dehydrogenases. Employing cellular retinoid-binding protein (CRBP), purified from human liver, demonstrated that E1 isozyme (but not E2 isozyme) could utilize CRBP-bound retinaldehyde as substrate, a feature thought to be specific to retinaldehyde dehydrogenases. This is the first report of CRBP-bound retinaldehyde functioning as substrate for aldehyde dehydrogenase of broad substrate specificity. Thus, it is concluded that in the human organism, retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (coded for by raldH1 gene) and broad substrate specificity E1 (a member of EC 1. 2.1.3 aldehyde dehydrogenase family) are the same enzyme. These results suggest that the E1 isozyme may be more important to alcoholism than the acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme, E2, because competition between acetaldehyde and retinaldehyde could result in abnormalities associated with vitamin A metabolism and alcoholism.     

Distribution and partial purification of a liver membrane protein capable of inactivating cytosol enzymes.

1. The inactivation of cytosol enzymes in liver extracts was carried out by several subcellular fractions, with plasma membranes having the highest specific activity. Rough and smooth microsomal fractions were both active, whereas lysosmal inactivation capacity appeared to be derived entirely from contaminating plasma-membrane fragments. 2. Inactivation capacity in liver fractions was derived from parenchymal cells. Of the non-liver cells tested, plasma membranes from H35 hepatoma cells were able to inactivate glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), adipocyte "ghosts" showed slight activity and erythrocyte and reticulocyte "ghosts" were inactive. 3. Liposomes prepared from pure lipids with net negative, positive or neutral charge did not possess inactivation capacity. 4. Liver plasma-membrane inactivation capacity was destroyed by heating at 50 degrees C. 5. Inactivation factor solubilized from membranes by trypsin plus Triton X-100 treatment was partially purified by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and hydroxyapatite chromatography. 6. Partially purified inactivation factor analysed by gel electrophoresis gave a major protein band that co-migrated with capacity for inactivation of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. 7. It is concluded that inactivation factor is a membrane protein whose intracellular distribution and other properties are consistent with a possible role for this activity in the initial step of protein degradation.     

Origin of cytokinin-and auxin-autonomy and changes in specific proteins in tobacco callus tissue

On the basis of earlier data it was suggested that the induction of cytokinin autonomy might be accompanied by disorders in plastid function and a decrease in cytokinin utilization. In the work presented below the formation of chlorophyll and the isozyme patterns of nine enzymes, some of which are known to be localized in plastids, were compared in tobacco callus tissues differing in their hormonal requirements. Tissues either not requiring cytokinin or both auxin and cytokinin for their growth, contained a lower amount of chlorophyll than the cytokinin-and auxin-dependent strain. The number of isozymes of glucose-6-phosphate and NADP-malate dehydrogenase (i.e. enzymes which are known to be located in plastids) was reduced from four in the cytokinin-and auxin-dependent strain to two and one in the two cytokinin-autonomous strains, respectively. The fully habituated tissue contained an additional isozyme of NADP-malate dehydrogenase. The total number of isozymes of the remaining enzymes (NAD-malate dehydrogenase, peroxidase, esterase and a-and β-galactosidase) either was decreased or not changed in the cytokinin autonomous strains. The exception was an additional anodic peroxidase in one strain. The number of these isozymes in tissue habituated with respect to both auxin and cytokinin either remained the same or increased. Tobacco callus strains with altered requirements for growth regulators contained some new isozymes which were not present in any other strain and some isozymes present in other strains were absent. These differences are discussed in relation to the possible role of plastid function disorder associated with habituation.     

Turbellaria Phagocata sibirica: Some Enzymes of Carbohydrate and Energy Metabolisms

Activities and properties of some enzymes of carbohydrate and energy metabolisms in free-living turbellaria Phagocata sibirica are studied. The enzymes are studied in various subcellular fractions. A high activity of hexokinase is accompanied by high activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDG). The level of pyruvate kinase activity is sufficient to provide dissimilation of phosphoenolpyruvate with formation of pyruvate. P. sibirica has highly-active lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH); a predominance of MDH activity over LDH and a low activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is revealed. NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase is found, which is activated by Mn²⁺ and Mg²⁺ and inhibited by salts of heavy metals and p-chloromercuribenzoate. Activities and properties of -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and fumarate reductase are studied, and it is concluded that in P. sibirica there is the system of succinate oxidation, whereas the system of fumarate reduction into succinate is absent. Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions from P. sibirica had Mg²⁺- and Ca²⁺-dependent adenosine triphosphatases.     

Purification and characterization of grass carp mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase

The molecular biology and enzymology of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) have been extensively investigated. However, most of the studies have been confined to the mammalian forms, while the sub-mammalian vertebrate ALDHs are relatively unexplored. In the present investigation, an ALDH was purified from the hepatopancreas of grass carp (Ctenopharygodon idellus) by affinity chromatographies on alpha-cyanocinnamate-Sepharose and Affi-gel Blue agarose. The 800-fold purified enzyme had a specific activity of 4.46 U/mg toward the oxidation of acetaldehyde at pH 9.5. It had a subunit molecular weight of 55000. Isoelectric focusing showed a single band with a pI of 5.3. N-terminal amino acid sequencing of 30 residues revealed a positional identity of approximately 70% with mammalian mitochondrial ALDH2. The kinetic properties of grass carp ALDH resembled those of mammalian ALDH2. The optimal pH for the oxidation of acetaldehyde was 9.5. The K(m) values for acetaldehyde were 0.36 and 0.31 microM at pH 7.5 and 9.5, respectively. Grass carp ALDH also possessed esterase activity which could be activated in the presence of NAD(+).     

Isozyme gene markers in the dioecious species Asparagus officinalis L.

Summary Extracts from phylloclads of Asparagus officinails were electrophoretically analyzed for isozyme polymorphism. Fourteen enzyme systems were examined using four buffer systems: seven enzymes (acid phosphatase, catalase, glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, peroxidase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) exhibited clear and consistent banding patterns. Isozyme polymorphism was studied in seven pairs of male and female doubled haploids and in their male F₁s. Segregation of polymorphic loci was examined in the backcross progenies and was found to be consistent with a simple Mendelian inheritance in all cases, except for three anodical peroxidases, where two factors have been hypothesized. No linkage could be found between isozyme markers that were segregating in the same cross, but association was demonstrated between one malate dehydrogenase locus and the sex determining genes. The availability of isozyme markers may be useful in breeding and, in particular, the localization of one malate dehydrogenase locus on the sex chromosomes may be helpful in mapping the sex genes.     

Isozyme Variation among Biological Species in the Gibberella fujikuroi Species Complex (Fusarium Section Liseola)

Isozyme phenotypes were determined for 101 strains of Gibberella fujikuroi and 2 strains of Gibberella nygamai that represent seven biological species (mating populations) isolated from a variety of plant hosts in dispersed geographic locations. Fourteen enzymes were resolved in one or more of three buffer systems. Two of the enzymes, arylesterase and acid phosphatase, were polymorphic within two or more biological species and are suitable for intraspecific studies of population variation. Six enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, mannitol dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, were monomorphic in all of the isolates examined. The remaining six enzymes, fumarase, glucose phosphate isomerase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP), malate dehydrogenase, and triose-phosphate isomerase, could potentially be used to distinguish the different biological species. Mating populations C and D are the most similar, since the mating population C isolates examined had the same isozyme phenotype as did a subset of the isolates in mating population D. Mating population E is the least similar to the other taxa examined. Unique isozyme phenotypes are present but are composed of banding patterns shared among the biological species. This finding supports the hypothesis that these biological species, with the possible exception of mating populations C and D, are reproductively isolated from one another and that no significant gene flow is occurring between them. Isozyme analysis is a useful method to distinguish these closely related biological species. Examination of isozyme phenotypes is more rapid than the present technique, which is based on sexual crosses; can be applied to strains that are not sexually fertile; and is more sensitive than traditional morphological characters, which cannot distinguish more than three or four morphological groups among the seven biological species. While emphasizing the discreteness of the mating populations as biological entities, our isozyme data also reaffirm the close genetic relationship among these groups.     

Purification and some properties of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from carp muscle

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified from carp white muscle. On CM-Sephadex chromatography two well separated active peaks were obtained. Both of them show a single protein band on gel electrophoresis and have the same molecular and kinetic properties; they differ only by the amount of bound NAD, the enzyme in the second peak being coenzyme-free. Significant differences were observed between the properties of carp and pig muscle enzymes. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from carp is more resistant to heat and proteolytic inactivation. Moreover NAD does not protect it against inactivation. Only one sulphydryl group per subunit is able to react with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate), irrespective of the kind of the buffer. The structure of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from white muscle of carp seems to be more compact and therefore more inaccessible to some agents than that of the enzyme from pig muscle.
