Sepharose-bound tetrameric, dimeric and monomeric forms of yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were prepared, as well as immobilized hybrid species containing (by selective oxidation of an active center cysteine residue with H2O2) one inactivated subunit per tetramer or dimer. The catalytic properties of these enzyme forms were compared in the forward reaction (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate oxidation) and reverse reaction (1,3-bisphosphoglycerate reductive dephosphorylation) under steady-state conditions. In the reaction of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate oxidation, immobilized monomeric and tetrameric forms exhibited similar specific activities. The hybrid-modified dimer contributed on half of the total activity of a native dimer. The tetramer containing one modified subunit possessed 75% of the activity of an unmodified tetramer. In the reaction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate reductive dephosphorylation, the specific activity of the monomeric enzyme species was nearly twice as high as that of the tetramer, suggesting that only one-half of the active centers of the oligomer were acting simultaneously. Subunit cooperativity in catalysis persisted in an isolated dimeric species. The specific activity of a monomer associated with a peroxide-inactivated monomer in a dimer was equal to that of an isolated monomeric species and twice as high as that of a native immobilized dimer. The specific activity of subunits associated with a peroxide-inactivated subunit in a tetramer did not differ from that of a native immobilized tetramer; this indicates that interdimeric interactions are involved in catalytic subunit cooperativity. A complex was formed between the immobilized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and soluble phosphoglycerate kinase. Three monomers of phosphoglycerate kinase were bound per tetramer of the dehydrogenase and one per dimer. Evidence is presented that if the reductive dephosphorylation of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate proceeds in the phosphoglycerate kinase - glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complex, all active sites of the latter enzyme act independently, i.e. subunit cooperativity is abolished. 相似文献

The kinetic and molecular properties of cyanobacterial glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, partly purified from Anabaena sp. ATCC 27893, show that it undergoes relatively slow, reversible transitions between different aggregation states which differ in catalytic activity. Sucrose gradient centrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveal three principal forms, with approximate molecular weights of 120 000 (M
1), 240 000 (M
2) and 345 000 (M
3). The relative catalytic activities are: M
1M
2<M
3. In concentrated solutions of the enzyme, the equilibrium favors the more active, oligomeric forms. Dilution in the absence of effectors shifts the equilibrium in favor of the M
1 form, with a marked diminution of catalytic activity. This transition is prevented by a substrate, glucose-6-phosphate, and also by glutamine. The other substrate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), and (in crude cell-free extracts) ribulose-1,5-diphosphate are negative effectors, which tend to maintain the enzyme in the M
1 form. The equilibrium state between different forms of the enzyme is also strongly dependent on hydrogen ion concentration. Although the optimal pH for catalytic activity is 7.4, dissociation to the hypoactive M
1 form is favored at pH values above 7; a pH of 6.5 is optimal for maintenace of the enzyme in the active state. Reduced nicotamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP), inhibit catalytic activity, but do not significantly affect the equilibrium state. The relevance of these findings to the regulation of enzyme activity in vivo is discussed.Abbreviations G6PD

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified from rabbit brain cortex using a single immunoaffinity chromatographic step and was contaminated only by a 50 kDa protein. The proteins, separated by SDS-PAGE, were sequenced: the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was blocked at the N-terminal, the co-eluted protein was similar to -tubulin. Our technique can be applied to purification and sequencing of the enzyme from brain areas or to measure its turnover rate in cultured cells. 相似文献

The activity of some enzymes of intermediary metabolism, including enzymes of glycolysis, the hexose monophosphate shunt, and polyol cryoprotectant synthesis, were measured in freeze-tolerant Eurosta solidaginis larvae over a winter season and upon entry into pupation. Flexible metabolic rearrangement was observed concurrently with acclimatization and development. Profiles of enzyme activities related to the metabolism of the cryoprotectant glycerol indicated that fall biosynthesis may occur from two possible pathways: 1. glyceraldehyde-phosphate glyceraldehyde glycerol, using glyceraldehyde phosphatase and NADPH-linked polyol dehydrogenase, or 2. dihydroxyacetonephosphate glycerol-3-phosphate glycerol, using glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glycerol-3-phosphatase. Clearance of glycerol in the spring appeared to occur by a novel route through the action of polyol dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde kinase. Profiles of enzyme activities associated with sorbitol metabolism suggested that this polyol cryoprotectant was synthesized from glucose-6-phosphate through the action of glucose-6-phosphatase and NADPH-linked polyol dehydrogenase. Removal of sorbitol in the spring appeared to occur through the action of sorbitol dehydrogenase and hexokinase. Glycogen phosphorylase activation ensured the required flow of carbon into the synthesis of both glycerol and sorbitol. Little change was seen in the activity of glycolytic or hexose monophosphate shunt enzymes over the winter. Increased activity of the -glycerophosphate shuttle in the spring, indicated by greatly increased glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, may be key to removal and oxidation of reducing equivalents generated from polyol cryoprotectan catabolism.Abbreviations 6PGDH

The binding of denatured B. stearothermophilus D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) to the E. coli chaperonin GroEL was investigated in two systems: (1) GroEL immobilized on Sepharose via a single subunit was titrated with urea-denatured soluble GAPDH and (2) a Sepharose-bound denatured GAPDH monomer was titrated with soluble GroEL. Similar apparent K
D values for the complex GroEL·GAPDH were obtained in both cases (0.04 and 0.03 M, respectively), the stoichiometry being 1.0 mol chaperonin per GAPDH subunit in the system with the immobilized GroEL and 0.2 mol chaperonin per Sepharose-bound GAPDH monomer. Addition of GroEL and Mg·ATP to a reactivation mixture increased the yield of reactivation of both E. coli and B. stearothermophilus GAPDHs. Incubation of the Sepharose-bound catalytically active tetrameric and dimeric GAPDH forms with the protein fraction of a wild-type E. coli cell extract resulted in the binding of GroEL to the dimer and no interaction with the tetrameric form. These data suggest that GroEL may be capable of interacting with the interdimeric contact regions of the folded GAPDH dimers. 相似文献

The OpuA system of Bacillus subtilis is a member of the substrate-binding-protein-dependent ABC transporter superfamily and serves for the uptake of the compatible solute glycine betaine under hyperosmotic growth conditions. Here, we have characterized the nucleotide-binding protein (OpuAA) of the B.subtilis OpuA transporter in vitro. OpuAA was overexpressed heterologously in Escherichia coli as a hexahistidine tag fusion protein and purified to homogeneity by affinity and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Dynamic monomer/dimer equilibrium was observed for OpuAA, and the K(D) value was determined to be 6 microM. Under high ionic strength assay conditions, the monomer/dimer interconversion was diminished, which enabled separation of both species by SEC and separate analysis of both monomeric and dimeric OpuAA. In the presence of 1 M NaCl, monomeric OpuAA showed a basal ATPase activity (K(M)=0.45 mM; k(2)=2.3 min(-1)), whereas dimeric OpuAA showed little ATPase activity under this condition. The addition of nucleotides influenced the monomer/dimer ratio of OpuAA, demonstrating different oligomeric states during its catalytic cycle. The monomer was the preferred species under post-hydrolysis conditions (e.g. ADP/Mg(2+)), whereas the dimer dominated the nucleotide-free and ATP-bound states. The affinity and stoichiometry of monomeric or dimeric OpuAA/ATP complexes were determined by means of the fluorescent ATP-analog TNP-ATP. One molecule of TNP-ATP was bound in the monomeric state and two TNP-ATP molecules were detected in the dimeric state of OpuAA. Binding of TNP-ADP/Mg(2+) to dimeric OpuAA induced a conformational change that led to the decay of the dimer. On the basis of our data, we propose a model that couples changes in the oligomeric state of OpuAA with ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

Tetrameric D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12) isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle was covalently bound to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B via a single subunit. Catalytically active immobilized dimer and monomeric forms of the enzyme were prepared after urea-induced dissociation of the tetramer. A study of the coenzyme-binding properties of matrix-bound tetrameric, dimeric and monomeric species has shown that: (1) an immobilized tetramer binds NAD+ with negative cooperativity, the dissociation constants being 0.085 microM for the first two coenzyme molecules and 1.3 microM for the third and the fourth one; (2) coenzyme binding to the dimeric enzyme form also displays negative cooperativity with Kd values of 0.032 microM and 1.1 microM for the first and second sites, respectively; (3) the binding of NAD+ to a monomer can occur with a dissociation constant of 1.6 microM which is close to the Kd value for low-affinity coenzyme binding sites of the tetrameric or dimeric enzyme forms. In the presence of NAD+ an immobilized monomer acquires a stability which is not inferior to that of a holotetramer. The catalytic properties of monomeric and tetrameric enzyme forms were compared and found to be different under certain conditions. Thus, the monomers of rabbit muscle D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase displayed a hyperbolic kinetic saturation curve for NAD+, whereas the tetramers exhibited an intermediary plateau region corresponding to half-saturating concentrations of NAD+. At coenzyme concentrations below half-saturating a monomer is more active than a tetramer. This difference disappears at saturating concentrations of NAD+. Immobilized monomeric and tetrameric forms of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from baker's yeast were also used to investigate subunit interactions in catalysis. The rate constant of inactivation due to modification of essential arginine residues in the holoenzyme decreased in the presence of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, probably as a result of conformational changes accompanying catalysis. This effect was similar for monomeric and tetrameric enzyme forms at saturating substrate concentrations, but different for the two enzyme species under conditions in which about one-half of the active centers remained unsaturated. Taken together, the results indicate that association of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase monomers into a tetramer imposes some constraints on the functioning of the active centers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Murine stress-inducible protein 1 (mSTI1) is a cochaperone that is homologous with the human heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70)/heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)-organizing protein (Hop). To analyze the biochemical properties of mSTI1 and the stoichiometry of the Hsc70.mSTI1.Hsp90 association, recombinant mSTI1 was produced in untagged, histidine (His)-tagged, and glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged forms. His-mSTI1 was detected either as a dimer during size-exclusion-high-performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) or as a monomer during Superdex 200 gel filtration chromatography. SE-HPLC on GST-mSTI1 and untagged mSTI1 suggested that mSTI1 existed as a monomer. Cross-linking of His-mSTI1 detected a compact monomeric species and a dimeric species. Gel filtration on the association of bovine STI1 or His-mSTI1 with Hsc70 detected species of molecular mass consistent with a dimeric STI1 species or a 1:1 complex of STI1 and Hsc70. Our data and that of others suggest that mSTI1 and its homologues exist as either a monomer or a dimer and that this facilitates its proposed function as an Hsc70/Hsp90 organizing protein. 相似文献

The cytochrome b

f complex isolated from spinach chloroplast membranes can be resolved into two forms, a monomeric and a dimeric form, by centrifugation on sucrose gradients. The conversion of the dimeric form of the complex into the monomeric form could be prevented by cross-linking with the homobifunctional reagent, dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate) but not by cross-linking with disuccinimidyltartrate or glutaraldehyde. SDS-PAGE analyses of the monomeric and dimeric forms of the cytochrome complex showed the presence of specific cross-linked products in each respective form of the complex. For example, the monomeric form contained a cross-linked product of cytochrome f, cytochrome b

The activities and kinetics of the enzymes G6PDH (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and 6PGDH (6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) from the mesophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6307 and the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6716 are studied in relation to temperature. In Synechococcus 6307 the apparent K
m's are for G6PDH: 80M (substrate) and 20M (NADP+); for 6PGDH: 90M (substrate) and 25M (NADP+). In Synechococcus 6716 the apparent K
m's are for G6PDH: 550M (substrate) and 30M (NADP+); for 6PGDH: 40M (substrate) and 10M (NADP+). None of the K
m's is influenced by the growth temperature and only the K
m's of G6PDH for G6P are influenced by the assay temperature in both organisms. The idea that, in general, thermophilic enzymes possess a lower affinity for their substrates and co-enzymes than mesophilic enzymes is challenged.Although ATP, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, NADPH and pH can all influence the activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH to a certain extent (without any difference between the mesophilic and the thermophilic strain), they cannot be responsible for the total deactivation of the enzyme activities observed in the light, thus blocking the pentose phosphate pathway.Abbreviations G6PDH

Phosphon-D (tributyl-2, 4-dichlorobenzylphosphonium chloride), known as an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, enhances photosynthetic electron transport by up to 200%, with Fe(CN)

and NADP+ being the electron acceptors. Maximum stimulation is reached at phosphon-D concentrations around 2–5 M. At the same time photosynthetic ATP formation is gradually inhibited. Phosphon-D concentrations over 0.1 mM inhibit electron transport. The uncoupling activity of phosphon-D is manifested by inhibition of noncyclic ATP synthesis and by stimulation of light-induced electron flow. The inhibition of ATP synthesis drastically decreases photosynthetic carbon assimilation in a reconstituted spinach chloroplast system. The two ATP-dependent kinase reactions of the reductive pentose phosphate cycle become the rate-limiting steps. On the other hand a stimulated photoelectron transport increases the NADPH/NADP+ ratio, resulting in a drastic inhibition of chloroplast glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), the key enzyme of the oxidative pentose phosphate cycle. When light-induced electron flow is inhibited by high phosphon-D concentrations and the NADPH/NADP+ ratio is low, the light-dependent inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is gradually abolished.Abbreviations AMO-1618

Summary The hydrolysis of glucose-6-phospate in the digestive gland of the crab Carcinus maenas is carried out by an aspecific phosphatase. This enzyme possesses the following features: (1) insensitivity to acid treatment; (2) absence of inhibition when exposed to citrate at low pH; (3) similar affinity for G6P as the acid phosphatase for Na--glycerophosphate (K
m 2.3 and 2.0 mM, respectively). Glucose-6-phosphate and Na--glycerophate hydrolysis reactions seem to be catalysed by the same enzyme, since both activities exhibit the same distribution in a subcellular fractionation of the gland. Furthermore, as these activities are principally recovered in the subcellular fraction enriched in calcospherites (or calcium phosphate granules), it is proposed that the aspecific G6P-phosphohydrolase could play a major role in the formation of these granules. The phosphorylation of glucose is made by two low K
m hexokinases (230 and 64 M, respectively). As their level of activity shows significant changes over the moult cycle, these enzymes could be considered as having a regulatory role in the storage of glucose in the digestive gland.Abbreviations Acid Pase

Pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.40) was partially purified from both autotrophically and heterotrophycally grown Paracoccus denitrificans. The organism grown under heterotrophic conditions contains four times more pyruvate kinase than under autotrophic conditions. The enzyme isolated from both sources exhibited sigmoidal kinetics for both phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and ADP. The apparent M
m for ADP and PEP in the autotrophic enzyme were 0.63 mM ADP and 0.25 mM PEP. The effect of several low molecular weight metabolites on the pyruvate kinase activity was investigated. Ribose-5-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate and AMP stimulated the reaction at low ADP levels; this stimulation was brought about by an alteration in the apparent K
m for ADP. The pyruvate kinases differ in their response to adenine nucleotides, but both preparations seem to be under adenylate control. The results are discussed in relation to the role of pyruvate kinase as a regulatory enzyme in P. denitrificans grown under both autotrophic and heterotrophic conditions.Non-Common Abbreviations PEP

Neurone-specific enolase (NSE) and the brain form of creatine phosphokinase (CPK-BB) were previously found to be present in rat synaptosomal plasma membranes (SPM) using two-dimensional gel (2-D gel) and peptide analysis; enzymatic activities of these and of pyruvate kinase (PK), all involved in ATP generation, were shown to be "cryptic" unless the SPM were treated with Triton X-100. We now show that enzymatic activation also occurs when the SPM are treated with trifluoperazine (TFP). TFP activation occurred even when the enzymes were membrane associated, showing that solubilization was not responsible for "unmasking" the enzyme activities. When TFP treatment was performed at alkaline instead of neutral pH, NSE and CPK-BB were released as well as PK, nonneuronal enolase, and aldolase which were identified by 2-D gel and tryptic peptide analysis. Other proteins released included calmodulin, actin, and the 70-kilodalton heat-shock cognate protein. Tubulin, synapsin I, and a 35-kilodalton basic protein were largely unaffected. The latter was identified as the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase on the basis of 2-D gel and peptide analyses and subsequent partial sequencing of a rat brain cDNA coding for the same protein. TFP treatment is thus useful for activating latent enzymes as well as for distinguishing enzymes that have a different disposition on the membrane. 相似文献

A periplasmatic phytate-degrading enzyme from Pantoea agglomerans isolated from soil was purified about 470-fold to apparent homogeneity with a recovery of 16% referred to the phytate-degrading activity in the crude extract. It behaved as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of about 42 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited a single pH optimum at 4.5. Optimum temperature for the degradation of phytate was 60°C. The kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis of sodium phytate were determined to be KM = 0.34 mmol/l and kcat = 21 s-1 at pH 4.5 and 37°C. The enzyme exhibited a narrow substrate selectivity. Only phytate and glucose-1-phosphate were identified as good substrates. Since this Pantoea enzyme has a strong preference for glucose-1-phosphate over phytate, under physiological conditions glucose-1-phosphate is its most likely substrate. The maximum amount of phosphate released from phytate by the purified enzyme suggests myo-inositol pentakisphosphate as the final product of enzymatic phytate degradation. 相似文献

A monomeric form of the isolated cytochrome b6f complex from spinach chloroplast membranes has been isolated after treatment of the dimeric complex with varying concentrations of Triton X-100. The two forms of the complex are similar as regards electron transfer components and subunit composition. In contrast to a previous report (Huang et al. (1994) Biochemistry 33: 4401–4409) both the monomer and dimer are enzymatically active. However, after incorporation of the respective complexes into phospholipid vesicles, only the dimeric form of the cytochrome complex shows uncoupler sensitive electron transport, an indication of coupling of electron transport to proton translocation. The absence of this activity with the monomeric form of the cytochrome complex may be related to an inhibition by added lipids.Abbreviations CCCP-

(i) Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) was purified 40-fold from stored potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers to a final specific activity of 33–70 nkat·(mg protein)–1 via batch elution from diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-sephacel, polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and Mono Q anion-exchange chromatography. (ii) Immunoblotting revealed a major and a minor band with molecular weights of 124.8 kDa and 133.5 kDa, respectively. Both bands were also present in extracts prepared in boiling SDS to exclude proteolysis. No smaller polypeptides were seen, except when the preparations were incubated before application on a polyacrylamide gel. (iii) The enzyme preparation was activated by glucose-6-phosphate and inhibited by inorganic phosphate. Both effectors had a large effect on the K
m (fructose-6-phosphate) and the K
m (uridine-5-diphosphoglucose) with phosphate acting antagonistically to glucose-6-phosphate. (iv) Preincubation of potato slices with low concentrations of okadaic acid or microcystin resulted in a three- to fourfold decrease in the activity of SPS when the tissue was subsequently extracted and assayed. The decrease was especially marked when the assay contained low concentrations of substrates and glucose-6-phosphate, and inorganic phosphate was included. Preincubation with mannose or in high osmoticum resulted in an increase of SPS activity. (v) Analogous changes were observed in germinating Ricinus communis L. seedlings. After preincubation of the cotyledons in glucose, high SPS activity could be measured, whereas okadaic acid, omission of glucose, or addition of phosphate or sucrose led to a large decrease of SPS activity in the selective assay. (vi) It is argued that SPS from non-photosynthetic tissues is regulated by metabolites and by protein phosphorylation in an analogous manner to the leaf enzyme.Abbreviations Fru6P

Synopsis Human leucocytes were culturedin vitro with either phytohaemagglutin or 17 -oestradiol or both, and the enzyme activities of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase were assayed. As a result, it was found that these enzymes were considerably induced by oestradiol in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes, but not in non-stimulated cells. Electrophoretic studies on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase showed that six molecular forms are demonstrable in normal and phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated leucocytes, and that one of the forms was specifically induced by oestradiol in the presence of phytohaemagglutinin. 相似文献

Liver metabolism in cold hypoxia: a comparison of energy metabolism and glycolysis in cold-sensitive and cold-resistant mammals 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
T. A. Churchill K. M. Cheetham S. Simpkin C. J. Green L. C. H. Wang B. J. Fuller 《Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology》1994,164(5):396-404
The effects of cold hypoxia were examined during a time-course at 2 °C on levels of glycolytic metabolites: glycogen, glucose, glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate, pyruvate, lactate and energetics (ATP, ADP, AMP) of livers from rats and columbian ground squirrels. Responses of adenylate pools reflected the energy imbalance created during cold hypoxia in both rat and ground squirrel liver within minutes of organ isolation. In rat, ATP levels and energy charge values for freshly isolated livers were 2.54 mol·g-1 and 0.70, respectively. Within 5 min of cold hypoxia, ATP levels had dropped well below control values and by 8 h storage, ATP, AMP, and energy charge values were 0.21 mol·g-1, 2.01 mol·g-1, and 0.17, respectively. In columbian ground squirrels the patterns of rapid ATP depletion and AMP accumulation were similar to those found in rat. In rat liver, enzymatic regulatory control of glycolysis appeared to be extremely sensitive to the decline in cellular energy levels. After 8 h cold hypoxia levels of fructose-6-phosphate decreased and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate increased, thus reflecting an activation of glycolysis at the regulatory step catalysed by phospho-fructokinase fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Despite an initial increase in flux through glycolysis over the first 2 min (lactate levels increased 3.7 mol·g-1), further flux through the pathway was not permitted even though glycolysis was activated at the phosphofructokinase/fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase locus at 8 h, since supplies of phosphorylated substrate glucose-1-phosphate or glucose-6-phosphate remained low throughout the duration of the 24-h period. Conversely, livers of Columbian ground squirrels exhibited no activation or inactivation of two key glycolytic regulatory loci, phosphofructokinase/fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate kinase/phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and pyruvate carboxylase. Although previous studies have shown similar allosteric sensitivities to adenylates to rat liver phospho-fructokinase, there was no evidence of an activation of the pathway as a result of decreasing high energy adenylate, ATP or increasing AMP levels. The lack of any apparent regulatory control of glycosis during cold hypoxia may be related to hibernator-specific metabolic adaptations that are key to the survival of hypothermia during natural bouts of hibernation.Abbreviations DHAP
