The mitochondrial membrane potential measured in isolated rat kidney mitochondria and in digitonin-permeabilized MDCK type II cells pre-energized with succinate, glutamate, and/or malate was reduced by micromolar diclofenac dose-dependently. However, ATP biosynthesis from glutamate/malate was significantly more compromised compared to that from succinate. Inhibition of the malate-aspartate shuttle by diclofenac with a resultant decrease in the ability of mitochondria to generate NAD(P)H was demonstrated. Diclofenac however had no effect on the activities of NADH dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase. In conclusion, decreased NAD(P)H production due to an inhibition of the entry of malate and glutamate via the malate-aspartate shuttle explained the more pronounced decreased rate of ATP biosynthesis from glutamate and malate by diclofenac. This drug, therefore affects the bioavailability of two major respiratory complex I substrates which would normally contribute substantially to supplying the reducing equivalents for mitochondrial electron transport for generation of ATP in the renal cell.  相似文献

A cDNA of bovine brain glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was isolated from a cDNA library by recombinant PCR. The isolated cDNA has an open-reading frame of 1677 nucleotides, which codes for 559 amino acids. The expression of the recombinant bovine brain GDH enzyme was achieved in E. coli. BL21 (DE3) by using the pET-15b expression vector containing a T7 promoter. The recombinant GDH protein was also purified and characterized. The amino acid sequence was found 90% homologous to the human GDH. The molecular mass of the expressed GDH enzyme was estimated as 50 kDa by SDS-PAGE and Western blot using monoclonal antibodies against bovine brain GDH. The kinetic parameters of the expressed recombinant GDH enzymes were quite similar to those of the purified bovine brain GDH. The Km and Vmax values for NAD+ were 0.1 mM and 1.08 micromol/min/mg, respectively. The catalytic activities of the recombinant GDH enzymes were inhibited by ATP in a concentration-dependent manner over the range of 10 - 100 microM, whereas, ADP increased the enzyme activity up to 2.3-fold. These results indicate that the recombinant-expressed bovine brain GDH that is produced has biochemical properties that are very similar to those of the purified GDH enzyme.  相似文献

Sulfite oxidase (SO) deficiency is biochemically characterized by the accumulation of sulfite, thiosulfate and S-sulfocysteine in tissues and biological fluids of the affected patients. The main clinical symptoms include severe neurological dysfunction and brain abnormalities, whose pathophysiology is still unknown. The present study investigated the in vitro effects of sulfite and thiosulfate on mitochondrial homeostasis in rat brain mitochondria. It was verified that sulfite per se, but not thiosulfate, decreased state 3, CCCP-stimulated state and respiratory control ratio in mitochondria respiring with glutamate plus malate. In line with this, we found that sulfite inhibited the activities of glutamate and malate (MDH) dehydrogenases. In addition, sulfite decreased the activity of a commercial solution of MDH, that was prevented by antioxidants and dithiothreitol. Sulfite also induced mitochondrial swelling and reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, Ca2 + retention capacity, NAD(P)H pool and cytochrome c immunocontent when Ca2 + was present in the medium. These alterations were prevented by ruthenium red, cyclosporine A (CsA) and ADP, supporting the involvement of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) in these effects. We further observed that N-ethylmaleimide prevented the sulfite-elicited swelling and that sulfite decreased free thiol group content in brain mitochondria. These findings indicate that sulfite acts directly on MPT pore containing thiol groups. Finally, we verified that sulfite reduced cell viability in cerebral cortex slices and that this effect was prevented by CsA. Therefore, it may be presumed that disturbance of mitochondrial energy homeostasis and MPT induced by sulfite could be involved in the neuronal damage characteristic of SO deficiency.  相似文献

ADP-Ribosylation of Highly Purified Rat Brain Mitochondria   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Highly purified synaptic and nonsynaptic mitochondria were prepared from rat brain, and their ADP-ribosyl transferase and NAD glycohydrolase activities were investigated. Data show that there is no significant difference in ADP-ribosyl transferase activity between these two types of subcellular preparations. However, NAD glycohydrolase activity appeared to be much higher in nonsynaptic mitochondria. The specific activity of both enzymes was investigated in the presence of the inhibitor nicotinamide or its analogue 3-aminobenzamide or other adenine nucleotides, such as ATP or ADP-ribose. The inhibitory effect of nicotinamide or 3-aminobenzamide on ADP-ribosyl transferase appears rather weak compared with their effect on NAD glycohydrolase activity. However, ADP-ribose and ATP appeared more effective in inhibiting ADP-ribosyl transferase. Our results provide evidence for the existence of ADP-ribosyl transferase activity in rat brain mitochondria. When NAD glycohydrolase was inhibited totally by nicotinamide, the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD to mitochondrial proteins still occurred. The chain length determinations show that the linkage of ADP-ribose to mitochondrial proteins is oligomeric.  相似文献

Preferential glutamine uptake in rat brain synaptic mitochondria   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A Steib  A Rendon  J Mark  J Borg 《FEBS letters》1986,207(1):63-68
Glutamine uptake has been studied in purified rat brain mitochondria of synaptic or non-synaptic origin. It was taken up by an active saturable transport mechanism, with an affinity two-times higher in synaptic than in non-synaptic mitochondria (Km = 0.45 and 0.94 mM, respectively). Vmax of uptake was 7-times higher in synaptic mitochondria (Vmax = 9.2 and 1.3 nmol/min per mg protein, respectively). Glutamine transport was found to be inhibited by L-glutamate (IC50 = 0.64 mM) as well as thiol reagents (mersalyl, N-ethylmaleimide). It is suggested that differential uptake of glutamine in mitochondria of synaptic or non-synaptic origin may be a major mechanism in the regulation of the synthesis of the neurotransmitter glutamate.  相似文献

The effects of in vitro treatment with ammonium chloride, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) due to thioacetamide (TAA) induced liver failure and chronic hyperammonemia produced by i.p. administration of ammonium acetate on the two components of the multienzyme 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDH): 2-oxoglutarate decarboxylase (E1) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3), were examined in synaptic and nonsynaptic mitochondria from rat brain. With regard to E1 the response to ammonium ions in vitro (3 mM NH4Cl) was observed in nonsynaptic mitochondria only and was manifested by a 21% decrease of Vmax and a 35% decrease of Km for 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG). By contrast, both in vivo conditions primarily affected the synaptic mitochondrial E1: TAA-induced HE produced an 84% increase of Vmax and a 38% increase of Km for 2-OG. Hyperammonemia elevated Vmax of E1 by 110% and Km for 2-OG by 30%. HE produced no effect at all in nonsynaptic mitochondria while hyperammonemia produced a 35% increase of Vmax and a 30% increase of Km for 2-OG of E1. Both in vivo conditions produced a 20% increase of E3 activity in synaptic mitochondria, but no effect at all in nonsynaptic mitochondria. The preferential sensitivity of E1 to ammonium chloride in vitro in nonsynaptic mitochondria and hyperammonemic conditions in vivo in synaptic mitochondria may play a crucial role in the compartmentation of OGDH responses under analogous conditions. These results confirm the intrinsic differences between the OGDH properties in the synaptic and nonsynaptic brain compartments.  相似文献

Malonate is an effective inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase in preparations from brain and other organs. This property was reexamined in isolated rat brain mitochondria during incubation with L-glutamate. The biosynthesis of aspartate was determined by a standard spectrofluorometric method and a radiometric technique. The latter was suitable for aspartate assay after very brief incubations of mitochondria with glutamate. At a concentration of 1 mM or higher, malonate totally inhibited aspartate biosynthesis. At 0.2 mM, the inhibitory effect was still present. It is thus possible that the natural concentration of free malonate in adult rat brain of 192 nmol/g wet weight exerts an effect on citric acid cycle reactions in vivo. The inhibition of glutamate utilization by malonate was readily overcome by the addition of malate which provided oxaloacetate for the transamination of glutamate. The reaction was accompanied by the accumulation of 2-oxoglutarate. The metabolism of glutamate was also blocked by inclusion of arsenite and gamma-vinyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid but again added malate allowed transamination to resume. When arsenite and gamma-vinyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid were present, the role of malonate as an inhibitor of malate entry into the mitochondrial interior could be determined without considering the inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase. The apparent Km and Vmax values for uninhibited malate entry were 0.01 mM and 100 nmol/mg protein/min, respectively. Malonate was a competitive inhibitor of malate transport (Ki = 0.75 mM).  相似文献

Sir2 is an NAD-dependent deacetylase that connects metabolism with longevity in yeast, flies, and worms. Mammals have seven Sir2 homologs (SIRT1-7). We show that SIRT4 is a mitochondrial enzyme that uses NAD to ADP-ribosylate and downregulate glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity. GDH is known to promote the metabolism of glutamate and glutamine, generating ATP, which promotes insulin secretion. Loss of SIRT4 in insulinoma cells activates GDH, thereby upregulating amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion. A similar effect is observed in pancreatic beta cells from mice deficient in SIRT4 or on the dietary regimen of calorie restriction (CR). Furthermore, GDH from SIRT4-deficient or CR mice is insensitive to phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that cleaves ADP-ribose, suggesting the absence of ADP-ribosylation. These results indicate that SIRT4 functions in beta cell mitochondria to repress the activity of GDH by ADP-ribosylation, thereby downregulating insulin secretion in response to amino acids, effects that are alleviated during CR.  相似文献

Generation of H2O2 in Brain Mitochondria   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
Generation of H2O2 by rat brain mitochondria using succinate and glycerol-1-phosphate as substrates has been demonstrated. Earlier workers were unable to detect this activity in sucrose-Tris buffer. We found that this was due to a lag in the expression of activity in sucrose medium. Using phosphate buffer (50 mM), good rates are now obtained. Generation of H2O2 by rat brain mitochondria required the presence of antimycin A and was dependent on the substrates succinate and glycerol-1-phosphate. Low rates were obtained with NAD+-linked substrates and none with choline, glutamate, and NADH. The Km and Vmax values for H2O2 generation were considerably lower than the corresponding values for the respective dehydrogenase activity, measured by dye reduction. Oxygen-radical scavengers inhibited H2O2 generation, suggesting oxygen radical involvement. Depletion of ubiquinone from mitochondria resulted in loss of H2O2 generation. Reconstitution of such depleted particles with ubiquinone restored the capacity to generate H2O2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Levels of H2O2 production were found to be maximal in cerebellum. Brain mitochondria from rabbit, hamster, mouse, and guinea pig also have the capacity to generate H2O2 on oxidation of glycerol-1-phosphate.  相似文献

Incubation of rat liver mitochondria with benzoquinone derivatives in the presence of succinate plus rotenone has been shown to cause NAD(P)H oxidation followed by Ca2+ release. Further investigation revealed: (1)p-Benzoquinone-induced Ca2+ release was not initiated by a collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential. However, Ca2+ release and subsequent Ca2+ cycling caused limited increased membrane permeability. (2) p-Benzoquinone-induced NAD(P)H oxidation and Ca2+ release were prevented by isocitrate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, and glutamate but not by pyruvate or 2-oxoglutarate. (3) Inhibition of pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenases by p-benzoquinone was attributed to arylation of the SH groups of the cofactors, CoA and lipoic acid. Isocitrate dehydrogenase was also inhibited by p-benzoquinone, but the cofactors NAD(P)H and Mn2+ protected the enzyme. Glutamate dehydrogenase was not inhibited by p-benzoquinone. (4) Arylation of mitochondrial protein thiols by p-benzoquinone was associated with an inhibition of state 3 respiration, which was attributed to the inactivation of the phosphate translocase. In contrast, state 4 respiration, and the F1.F0-ATPase and ATP/ADP translocase activities were not inhibited. It was concluded that inhibition of mitochondrial NAD(P)H dehydrogenases by arylation of critical thiol groups will decrease the NAD(P)+-reducing capacity, and possibly lower the NAD(P)H/NAD(P)+ redox status in favor of Ca2+ release.  相似文献

The amination of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) by NADH-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) obtained from Sephadex G-75 treated crude extracts from shoots of 5-day-old seedlings was stimulated by the addition of Ca2+. The NADH-GDH purified 161-fold with ammonium sulfate, DEAE-Toyopearl, and Sephadex G-200 was also activated by Ca2+ in the presence of 160 micromolar NADH. However, with 10 micromolar NADH, Ca2+ had no effect on the NADH-GDH activity. The deamination reaction (NAD-GDH) was not influenced by the addition of Ca2+.

About 25% of the NADH-GDH activity was solubilized from purified mitochondria after a simple osmotic shock treatment, whereas the remaining 75% of the activity was associated with the mitochondrial membrane fraction. When the lysed mitochondria, mitochondrial matrix, or mitochondrial membrane fraction was used as the source of NADH-GDH, Ca2+ had little effect on its activity. The mitochondrial fraction contained about 155 nanomoles Ca per milligram of mitochondrial protein, suggesting that the NADH-GDH in the mitochondria is already in an activated form with regard Ca2+. In a simulated in vitro system using concentrations of 6.4 millimolar NAD, 0.21 millimolar NADH, 5 millimolar α-KG, and 5 millimolar glutamate thought to occur in the mitochondria, together with 1 millimolar Ca2+, 10 and 50 millimolar NH4+, and purified enzyme, the equilibrium of GDH was in the direction of glutamate formation.

The oxidation of formaldehyde by rat liver mitochondria in the presence of 50 mM phosphate was enhanced 2-fold by exogenous NAD+. Absolute requirement of NAD+ for formaldehyde oxidation was demonstrated by depleting the mitochondria of their NAD+ content (4.6 nmol/mg of protein), followed by reincorporation of the NAD+ into the depleted mitochondria. Aldehyde (formaldehyde) dehydrogenase activity was completely abolished in the depleted mitochondria, but the enzyme activity was restored to control levels following reincorporation of the pyridine nucleotide. Phosphate stimulation of formaldehyde oxidation could not be explained fully by the phosphate-induced swelling which enhances membrane permeability to NAD+, since stimulation of the enzyme activity by increased phosphate concentrations was still observed in the absence of exogenous NAD+. The Km for formaldehyde oxidation by the mitochondria was found to be 0.38 nM, a value similar to that obtained with varying concentrations of NAD+; both Vmax values were very similar, giving a value of 70 to 80 nmol/min/mg of protein. The pH optimum for the mitochondrial enzyme was 8.0. Inhibition of the enzyme activity by anaerobiosis was apparently due to the inability of the respiratory chain to oxidize the generated NADH. The inhibition of mitochondrial formaldehyde oxidation by succinate was found to be due to a lowering of the NAD+ level in the mitochondria. Succinate also inhibited acetaldehyde oxidation by the mitochondria. Malonate, a competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase, blocked the inhibitory effect of succinate. The respiratory chain inhibitors, rotenone, and antimycin A plus succinate, strongly inhibited formaldehyde oxidation by apparently the same mechanism, although the crude enzyme preparation (freed from the membrane) was slightly sensitive to rotenone. The mitochondria were subfractionated, and 85% of the enzyme activity was found in the inner membrane fraction (mitoplast). Furthermore, separation into inner membrane and matrix components indicated a distribution of aldehyde dehydrogenase activity similar to malic dehydrogenase.  相似文献

Brain and liver mitochondria isolated by a discontinuous Percoll gradient show an oxidized redox environment, which is reflected by low GSH levels and high GSSG levels and significant glutathionylation of mitochondrial proteins as well as by low NAD(P)H/NAD(P) values. The redox potential of brain mitochondria isolated by a discontinuous Percoll gradient method was calculated to be -171 mV based on GSH and GSSG concentrations. Immunoblotting and LC/MS/MS analysis revealed that succinyl-CoA transferase and ATP synthase (F(1) complex, α-subunit) were extensively glutathionylated; S-glutathionylation of these proteins resulted in a substantial decrease of activity. Supplementation of mitochondria with complex I or complex II respiratory substrates (malate/glutamate or succinate, respectively) increased NADH and NADPH levels, resulting in the restoration of GSH levels through reduction of GSSG and deglutathionylation of mitochondrial proteins. Under these conditions, the redox potential of brain mitochondria was calculated to be -291 mV. Supplementation of mitochondria with respiratory substrates prevented GSSG formation and, consequently, ATP synthase glutathionylation in response to H(2)O(2) challenges. ATP synthase appears to be the major mitochondrial protein that becomes glutathionylated under oxidative stress conditions. Glutathionylation of mitochondrial proteins is a major consequence of oxidative stress, and respiratory substrates are key regulators of mitochondrial redox status (as reflected by thiol/disulfide exchange) by maintaining mitochondrial NADPH levels.  相似文献

Streptomyces fradiae has two chromatographically distinct forms of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH): one GDH utilizes NAD as coenzyme, the other uses NADP. The intracellular level of both GDHs is strongly regulated by the nitrogen source in the growth medium. NADP-dependent GDH was purified to homogeneity from crude extracts of S. fradiae. The Mr of the native enzyme was determined to be 200,000 by size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography whereas after sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis one major band of Mr 49,000 was found, suggesting that the enzyme is a tetramer. The enzyme was highly specific for the substrates 2-oxoglutarate and L-glutamate, and required NADP, which could not be replaced by NAD, as a cofactor. The pH optimum was 9.2 for oxidative deamination of glutamate and 8.4 for reductive amination of 2-oxoglutarate. The Michaelis constants (Km) were 28.6 mM for L-glutamate and 0.12 mM for NADP. Km values for reductive amination were 1.54 mM for 2-oxoglutarate, 0.07 mM for NADPH and 30.8 mM for NH+4. The enzyme activity was significantly reduced by adenine nucleotides, particularly ATP.  相似文献

RNA editing in flowering plant mitochondria is investigated by in vitro assays. These cauliflower mitochondrial lysates require added NTP or dNTP. We have now resolved the reason for this requirement to be the inhibition of the RNA binding activity of the glutamate dehydrogenases (GDH). Both GDH1 and GDH2 were identified in RNA-protein cross-links. The inhibition of in vitro RNA editing by GDH is confirmed by the ability of the GDH-specific herbicide phosphinothricin to substitute for NTP. NADH and NADPH, but not NAD or NADP, can also replace NTP, suggesting that the NAD(P)H-binding-pocket configuration of the GDH contacts the RNA. RNA editing in plant mitochondria is thus intrinsically independent of added energy in the form of NTP.  相似文献

The role of ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase (uMtCK) reaction in regulation of mitochondrial respiration was studied in purified preparations of rat brain synaptosomes and mitochondria. In permeabilized synaptosomes, apparent Km for exogenous ADP, Km (ADP), in regulation of respiration in situ was rather high (110 +/- 11 microM) in comparison with isolated brain mitochondria (9 +/- 1 microM). This apparent Km for ADP observed in isolated mitochondria in vitro dramatically increased to 169 +/- 52 microM after their incubation with 1 muM of dimeric tubulin showing that in rat brain, particularly in synaptosomes, mitochondrial outer membrane permeability for ADP, and ATP may be restricted by tubulin binding to voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC). On the other hand, in synaptosomes apparent Km (ADP) decreased to 25 +/- 1 microM in the presence of 20 mM creatine. To fully understand this effect of creatine on kinetics of respiration regulation, complete kinetic analysis of uMtCK reaction in isolated brain mitochondria was carried out. This showed that oxidative phosphorylation specifically altered only the dissociation constants for MgATP, by decreasing that from ternary complex MtCK.Cr.MgATP (K (a)) from 0.13 +/- 0.02 to 0.018 +/- 0.007 mM and that from binary complex MtCK.MgATP (K (ia)) from 1.1 +/- 0.29 mM to 0.17 +/- 0.07 mM. Apparent decrease of dissociation constants for MgATP reflects effective cycling of ATP and ADP between uMtCK and adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). These results emphasize important role and various pathophysiological implications of the phosphocreatine-creatine kinase system in energy transfer in brain cells, including synaptosomes.  相似文献

Here we provide evidence that mitochondria isolated from rat liver can synthesize FAD from riboflavin that has been taken up and from endogenous ATP. Riboflavin uptake takes place via a carrier-mediated process, as shown by the inverse relationship between fold accumulation and riboflavin concentration, the saturation kinetics [riboflavin Km and Vmax values were 4.4+/-1.3 microM and 35+/-5 pmol x min(-1) (mg protein)(-1), respectively] and the inhibition shown by the thiol reagent mersalyl, which cannot enter the mitochondria. FAD synthesis is due to the existence of FAD synthetase (EC 2.7.7.2), localized in the matrix, which has as a substrate pair mitochondrial ATP and FMN synthesized from taken up riboflavin via the putative mitochondrial riboflavin kinase. In the light of certain features, including the protein thermal stability and molecular mass, mitochondrial FAD synthetase differs from the cytosolic isoenzyme. Apparent Km and apparent Vmax values for FMN were 5.4+/-0.9 microM and 22.9+/-1.4 pmol x min(-1) x (mg matrix protein)(-1), respectively. Newly synthesized FAD inside the mitochondria can be exported from the mitochondria in a manner sensitive to atractyloside but insensitive to mersalyl. The occurrence of the riboflavin/FAD cycle is proposed to account for riboflavin uptake in mitochondria biogenesis and riboflavin recovery in mitochondrial flavoprotein degradation; both are prerequisites for the synthesis of mitochondrial flavin cofactors.  相似文献

Hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome is due either to hyperactivity of GDH or impaired inhibition of GDH by GTP. We have investigated the effect of Cimicifuga heracleifolia extract on the activities of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in cultured rat islets. When the extract was present in the culture medium for 24 h prior to cell harvest, the Vmax of GDH was decreased by 45% with no significant change in Km. In addition, the concentration of alpha-ketoglutarate increased by approximately 39%, and glutamate decreased by 48%. Perfusion of islets with C. heracleifolia extract reduced insulin release by up to 47%. Although the relation between GDH activity and insulin release remains to be clarified, our results suggest that C. heracleifolia extract regulates insulin release by altering GDH activity in primary cultured islets and that this natural compound may be used to modulate GDH activity in patients with hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome.  相似文献

NADH oxidase activity of rat liver plasma membranes was inhibited by lowconcentrations (1-100 nM) of ATP. The inhibition was amplified by additionof nanomolar concentrations (0.1-10) of cyclic AMP. The inhibition wascomplex and related to a marked increase in the Km for NADH at high NADHconcentrations together with a concomitant decrease in the Vmax. In theabsence of added or residual ATP, cyclic AMP was without effect. Theresponse of cyclic AMP + ATP was inhibited by low concentrations of theselective inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, H-89 but not bystaurosporin. The Vmax but not the Km was modified by treating the plasmamembranes with a mild oxidizing agent, N-chlorosuccinamide, or with thereducing agent, dithiothreitol. In the presence of dithiothreitol, the Vmaxwas reduced by cyclic AMP + ATP. In contrast, in the presence ofN-chlorosuccinamide, the Vmax was increased by cyclic AMP + ATP relative tocyclic AMP + ATP alone. Thus, the effect of cyclic AMP + ATP on the Vmaxcould be either an increase or a decrease depending on whether the membraneswere oxidized or reduced. The results demonstrate regulation of NADH oxidaseactivity of rat liver plasma membranes through cyclic AMP-mediatedphosphorylation by membrane-located protein kinase activities where thefinal response is dependent on the oxidation-reduction status of the plasmamembranes.  相似文献

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was purified from rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) in rat liver using anion-exchange and affinity chromatography. As GDH has been known as an enzyme that exists mainly in the matrix of mitochondria, the properties of purified GDH were compared with those of mitochondrial GDH. The GDH activity in 0. 1% Triton X-100-treated RER subcellular fraction was nearly the same as intact RER, whereas that of the mitochondrial fraction increased by 50% after the detergent treatment. In kinetic values, in addition, mitochondrial GDH had a higher K(m) value for NADP(+) than NAD(+), whereas the K(m) value for NAD(+) was higher than that for NADP(+) in the case of GDH of RER, which showed a difference in specificity to cofactors. Moreover, when two GDH isoproteins were incubated at 42 degrees C or treated with trypsin, GDH from RER was more stable against heat inactivation and less susceptible to proteolysis than mitochondrial GDH in both cases. In addition, GDH of RER had at least five amino acids different from mitochondrial GDH when sequences of N-terminal and several internal peptide fragments were analyzed. These results showed that GDH of RER is another isoprotein of GDH, of whose properties are different from those of mitochondrial GDH.  相似文献
