Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) present in the tail muscle of the lobster (H. vulgaris) exhibits substrate (pyruvate and L-lactate) inhibition which is temperature-dependent. Such inhibitions can be related to the formation of stable LDH-NAD +-pyruvate and LDH-NADH-lactate complexes. The apparent Km of pyruvate and L-lactate increase when the temperature rises above 12°. These temperature-dependent kinetic properties may play a major role in determining the metabolic fate of pyruvate. 相似文献

Lobsters(Homarus americanus) were exposed to cadmium (6μg l−1, 30 days) in flowing seawater, then held for 7 days in aerated “clean ” seawater at either ambient (27 ‰) or low (17 ‰) salinity.
Cadmium exposure alone (ambient salinity) induced a general elevation of enzyme activity (heart, antennal gland, and muscle
MDH; heart LDH and GPI), despite the probability of some clearance of cadmium from body tissues during the “clean ” seawater
holding period. Low-salinity alone (non-exposed lobsters) caused a decrease of enzyme activity (AAT, LDH, GPI, PK) in most
tissues examined, except for tail muscle IDH, the activity of which was increased, and MDH, which was significantly elevated
above ambient controls in all tissues except heart. Most low-salinity effects were observed in tail muscle, and most cadmium
effects, in heart; low-salinity effects outnumbered cadmium stress by nine to four. In heart and tail muscle of cadmium-exposed
lobsters held at low salinity, each of the two stresses apparently operated to nullify the other's effects. The most prominent
single biochemical response to these sublethal stresses was the elevation of MDH activity. The ratio MDH: LDH gave the clearest
indication of overall relative stress. 相似文献

In the mussel Mytilus edulis, the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate car?ykinase (PEP-CK) and of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) are greater than those of pyruvate kinase (PK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The activities of PEP-CK are very low in the lobster (H. vulgaris.) and the ratio of MDH/LDH activities are 0·041 and 1·83 in the tail and the claw muscles respectively. Intracellular L-lactate and L-alanine concentrations suggest a different carbohydrate utilization in the tail and the claw muscle of the lobster. Consistent with this finding is the fact that L-lactate concentration is higher in the tail muscle than in the claw muscle; the opposite is true for L-alanine concentrations. 相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was purified from the siphon muscle of the intertidal ascidian Pyura stolonifera. The enzyme is unique among chordate LDHs but resembles some bacterial and platyhelminth LDHs in being activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP). Concentrations of FBP in the range 5μM to 0.5 mM increase Vmax of the pyruvate reductase reaction by 130% to 210%, and decrease Km pyruvate 5 to 11 fold and Km NADH 2.5 to 5 fold. The enzyme is also activated by inorganic phosphate, but requires a 50 fold higher concentration to attain the maximum activation achieved by 0.5 mM FBP. Of a range of metabolites tested, including other glycolytic sugar phosphates, only FBP and inorganic phosphate activated the enzyme. FBP activation was not observed with 16 representative vertebrate LDH homotetramers, but did occur to a limited extent with LDH from an echinoderm. LDH was the only pyruvate reductase enzyme detected in P. stolonifera siphon muscle, and its activity was much greater than that of phosphorylase or phosphofructokinase. The LDH reaction is utilized by P. Stolonifera during prolonged siphon closure on exposure to air when lactate, but not succinate, accumulates in the siphon muscle. While the ascidian enzyme provides the first example of a FBP activated LDH from a chordate, it remains to be determined if this unusual property has any role in metabolic regulation. 相似文献

Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) catalyzes the production of acetolactate from pyruvate. The enzyme from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima has been purified and characterized (kcat ~100 s?1). It was found that the same enzyme also had the ability to catalyze the production of acetaldehyde and CO2 from pyruvate, an activity of pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) at a rate approximately 10% of its AHAS activity. Compared to the catalytic subunit, reconstitution of the individually expressed and purified catalytic and regulatory subunits of the AHAS stimulated both activities of PDC and AHAS. Both activities had similar pH and temperature profiles with an optimal pH of 7.0 and temperature of 85 °C. The enzyme kinetic parameters were determined, however, it showed a non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics for pyruvate only. This is the first report on the PDC activity of an AHAS and the second bifunctional enzyme that might be involved in the production of ethanol from pyruvate in hyperthermophilic microorganisms. 相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has a crucial role in maintaining ATP production as the terminal enzyme in anaerobic glycolysis. This study will determine the effect of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) on the activity of LDH in the foot muscle and hepatopancreas of an estivating snail, Otala lactea. LDH in foot muscle of O. lactea was purified to homogeneity and partially purified in hepatopancreas in a two-step and three-step process, respectively. The kinetic properties and stability of these isoforms were determined where there was a significant difference in Km and I50 values with pyruvate and urea separately in foot muscle; however, hepatopancreas exhibited significant differences in Km and I50 in salt between control and stress. Interestingly, hepatopancreas has a higher affinity for pyruvate in the control state whereas foot muscle has a higher affinity for its substrate in the estivated state. PTMs of each isoform were identified using immunoblotting and dot blots, which prove to be significantly higher in the control state. Overall, foot muscle LDH enters a low phosphorylation state during estivation allowing more efficiency in consuming pyruvate with higher thermal stability but less structural stability. Hepatopancreas LDH becomes dephosphorylated in the estivating snail that decreases the efficiency of the enzyme in the forward direction; however, the snail has an increased tolerance to the presence of salt when water becomes scarce. Such tissue-specific regulations indicate the organism’s ability to reduce energy consumption when undergoing metabolic depression. 相似文献

Pyruvate kinase from the tail muscle and claw muscle of a lobster (H. vulgaris) has been purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The overall procedure results in a 200-fold purification with a yield of 70%. The molecular weights of the enzymes were found to be 254 000 ± 10% (tail muscle) and 266 000 ± 10% (claw muscle). Moreover both enzymes have a tetrameric structure with a molecular mass of 65 000 ± 10% for the subunit. Kinetic properties of the enzymes are such that a regulation of anaerobic glycolysis through allosteric modulation of pyruvate kinase activity appears to be non-functional for the two tissues investigated. 相似文献

Two isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase have been purified from Homarus americanus: One is found predominantly in the tail muscles; the other, in the walking leg muscles. This is the first demonstration of multiple forms of l-specific lactate dehydrogenase in an invertebrate organism. These proteins contain four essential sulfhydryl groups titratable by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The molecular weights of these isoenzymes are dependent upon ionic strength. The native tetramer (Mr 145,000) exists in low ionic strength solutions; the active dimer (Mr 75,000), in high ionic strength solutions; this is the only example of lactate dehydrogenase disaggregation without concomitant loss in enzymatic activity. Microcomplement fixation studies suggest that there may be less than 4% difference in the primary structures of these two proteins. 相似文献

The structural and kinetic analyses of the components of the lactate shuttle from heterotrophic Euglena gracilis were carried out. Mitochondrial membrane-bound, NAD+-independent d-lactate dehydrogenase (d-iLDH) was purified by solubilization with CHAPS and heat treatment. The active enzyme was a 62-kDa monomer containing non-covalently bound FAD as cofactor. d-iLDH was specific for d-lactate and it was able to reduce quinones of different redox potential values. Oxalate and l-lactate were mixed-type inhibitors of d-iLDH. Mitochondrial l-iLDH also catalyzed the reduction of quinones, but it was inactivated during the extraction with detergents. Both l-iLDH and d-iLDH were inhibited by the specific flavoprotein-inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium, suggesting that l-iLDH was also a flavoprotein. Affinity chromatography revealed that the E. gracilis cytosolic fraction contained two types of NAD+-dependent LDH specific for the generation of d- and l-lactate (d-nLDH and l-nLDH, respectively). These two enzymes were tetramers of 126-132 kDa and showed an ordered bi-bi kinetic mechanism. Kinetic properties were different in both enzymes. Pyruvate reduction by d-nLDH was inhibited by its two products; the d-lactate oxidation was 40-fold lower than forward reaction. l-lactate oxidation by l-nLDH was not detected, whereas pyruvate reduction was activated by fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate, K+ or NH4+. Interestingly, membrane-bound l- and d-lactate dehydrogenases with quinone reductase activity have been only detected in bacteria, whereas the activity of soluble d-nLDH has been identified in bacteria and some yeast. Also, FBP-activated l-nLDH has been found solely in lactic bacteria. Based on their similar kinetic and structural characteristics, a possible common origin among bacterial and E. gracilis lactic dehydrogenase enzymes is discussed. 相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium vivax (Pv), serves as a drug target and immunodiagnostic marker. The LDH cDNA generated from total RNA of a clinical isolate of the parasite was cloned into pRSETA plasmid. Recombinant his-tagged PvLDH was over-expressed in E. coli Rosetta2DE3pLysS and purified using Ni2+-NTA resin giving a yield of 25–30 mg/litre bacterial culture. The recombinant protein was enzymatically active and its catalytic efficiency for pyruvate was 5.4 × 108 min?1 M?1, 14.5 fold higher than a low yield preparation reported earlier to obtain PvLDH crystal structure. The enzyme activity was inhibited by gossypol and sodium oxamate. The recombinant PvLDH was reactive in lateral flow immunochromatographic assays detecting pan- and vivax-specific LDH. The soluble recombinant PvLDH purified using heterologous expression system can facilitate the generation of vivax LDH-specific monoclonals and the screening of chemical compound libraries for PvLDH inhibitors. 相似文献

The catalytic properties of the purified horseshoe crab and seaworm d-lactate dehydrogenases were determined and compared with those of several l-lactate dehydrogenases. Apparent Km's and degrees of substrate inhibition have been determined for both enzymes for pyruvate, d-lactate, NAD+ and NADH. They are similar to those found for l-lactate dehydrogenases. The Limulus “muscle”-type lactate dehydrogenase is notably different from the “heart”-type lactate dehydrogenase of this organism in a number of properties.The Limulus heart and muscle enzymes have been shown by several criteria to be stereospecific for d-lactate. They also stereospecifically transfer the 4-α hydrogen of NADH to pyruvate. The turnover number for purified Limulus muscle lactate dehydrogenase is 38,000 moles NADH oxidized per mole of enzyme, per minute. Limulus and Nereis lactate dehydrogenases are inhibited by oxamate and the reduced NAD-pyruvate adduct.Limulus muscle lactate dehydrogenase is stoichiometrically inhibited by para-hydroxymercuribenzoate. Extrapolation to two moles parahydroxymercuribenzoate bound to one mole of enzyme yields 100% inhibition. Alkylation by iodoacetamide or iodoacetate occurs even in the absence of urea or guanidine-HCl. Evidence suggests that the reactive sulfhydryl group may not be located at the coenzyme binding site.Reduced coenzyme (NADH or the 3-acetyl-pyridine analogue of NADH) stoichiometrically binds to Limulus muscle lactate dehydrogenase (two moles per mole of enzyme).Several pieces of physical and catalytic evidence suggest that the d- and l-lactate dehydrogenase are products of homologous genes. A consideration of a possible “active site” shows that as few as one or two key conservative amino acid changes could lead to a reversal of the lactate stereospecificity. 相似文献

Lipoamide dehydrogenase (NADH:lipoamide oxidoreductase EC 1.6.4.3) has been isolated from Ascaris suum muscle mitochondria. This activity has been purified to apparent homogeneity from both the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and from 150,000g mitochondrial supernatants which were devoid of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity. The enzymes from both sources exhibited similar kinetic, catalytic, and regulatory properties and appear to be identical as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The native enzyme acts as a dimer, containing 2 mol of FAD, and has a subunit molecular weight of 54,000, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel chromatography. The enzyme also possesses substantial NADH:NAD+ transhydrogenase activity. Heat denaturation and differential solubilization experiments imply that the transhydrogenase activity previously reported is, in fact, associated with the lipoamide dehydrogenase moiety of the Ascaris pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Whether or not this activity functions physiologically in hydride ion translocation, as previously suggested, remains to be demonstrated. 相似文献

The chloroplastic glyceride isoform of dihydroxyacetone phosphate reductase (Gly-DHAPR) in the photosynthetic unicellular green algae, Dunaliella, plays key role in the synthesis of glycerol-P and glycerides. A four-step procedure has been developed to purify the Gly-DHAPR from the chloroplasts of Dunaliella tertiolecta. The enzyme was purified 462-fold to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity by precipitation of Rubisco by polyethylene glycol-4000, and successive chromatography on DEAE cellulose, Sephacryl S-200, and Red Agarose. The overall yield of the purified enzyme was 5.1% with a specific activity of 425 μmol. min?1. mg?1 protein, and a subunit molecular mass of 37 kD. The Gly-DHAPR had little preference for NADH or NADPH, but was highly specific for DHAP. The purified enzyme was slightly stimulated by 50 mM NaCl, KCl or by 25 mM MgCl2. Detergents, lipids, fatty acids, or long-chain acyl-CoA derivatives inhibited the Gly-DHAPR. The Gly-DHAPR differs in properties from the other chloroplastic osmoregulatory isoform of DHAP reductase from Dunaliella, but has significant similarities with the glyceride isoforms from higher plants for glycerol-P and triglyceride synthesis. 相似文献

1. The specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase of skeletal muscle mitochondria was found to be 2.5 times lower than specific activity of total NADH-cytochrome c reductase. 2. The specific activity of mitochondrial LDH in skeletal muscle mitochondria was almost equal to the activity of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase. 3. Mitochondrial LDH acting as an oxidase of lactate to pyruvate may feed an "external" pathway, but the activity of the mitochondrial enzyme is a limiting factor in oxidation of lactate-derived NADH. 4. Mitochondrial LDH acting as a reductase of pyruvate to lactate successfully competes with an "external" pathway for cytoplasmic NADH. 5. Exogenous NADH oxidation via an "external" pathway was inhibited by pyruvic acid. This inhibition was overcome by addition of oxamic acid or hydrazine. 相似文献

The neuropeptide proctolin causes a sustained contraction of the opener muscle of the dactyl of the lobster walking leg. This substance acts directly on the muscle at concentrations as low as 10?10M. The contraction is dependent on extracellular calcium. Neither a significant depolarization nor a detectable change in the input resistance accompanies the response. No presynaptic action of proctolin is indicated; excitatory and inhibitory junctional potential sizes and the frequency of spontaneous miniature excitatory junctional potentials are unaffected. 相似文献

Some catalytic and kinetic properties of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isolated from trout and carp skeletal muscles were compared. The specific activity of LDH in the carp muscle was lower by about one third than the activity in the trout muscle. Temperature and pH optima for LDH isolated from the carp muscle were higher than those for the trout muscle LDH. Moreover, in direct reaction, the carp muscle LDH had a higher affinity both for pyruvate and for NADH, i.e., it had lower K M values. Instead, the trout muscle LDH showed the positive kinetic cooperativity (the Hill coefficient > 1) of the substrate and coenzyme binding sites. Thus, the carp LDH seems to function more effectively under anaerobic conditions and at higher temperatures. 相似文献

An NADH:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.3) of human erythrocyte membrane was purified by DEAE-cellulose anion exchange, hydroxyapatite adsorption, and 5′-ADP-hexane-agarose affinity chromatographies after solubilization with Triton X-100. The purified reductase preparation was homogeneous and estimated to have an apparent molecular weight of 36,000 on SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and of 144,000 on Sephadex G-200 gel filtration in the presence of 0.2% Triton X-100, whereas a soluble NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase of human erythrocyte had a molecular weight of 32,000 by both methods, indicating the existence of a distinct membrane reductase. Digestion of the membrane reductase with cathepsin D yielded a new polypeptide chain which gave the same relative mobility as the soluble reductase on SDS-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. The membrane enzyme, the cathepsin-digested enzyme, and the soluble enzyme all cross-reacted with the antibody to rat liver microsomal NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase. The enzyme had one mole FAD per 36,000 as a prosthetic group and could reduce K3Fe(CN)6, 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, cytochrome c, methemoglobin-ferrocyanide complex, cytochrome b5 and methemoglobin via cytochrome b5 when NADH was used as an electron donor. NADPH was less effective as an electron donor than NADH. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 790 μmol ferricyanide reduced min?1 mg?1 and the turnover number was 40,600 mol ferricyanide reduced min?1 mol?1 FAD at 25 °C. The apparent Km values for NADH and cytochrome b5 were 0.6 and 20 μm, respectively, and the apparent V value was 270 μmol cytochrome b5 reduced min?1 mg?1. These kinetic properties were similar to those of the soluble NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase. The results indicate that the NADH:(acceptor) oxidoreductase of human erythrocyte membrane could be characterized as a membrane NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase. 相似文献

Eukarya pyruvate kinases have glutamate at position 117 (numbered according to the rabbit muscle enzyme), whereas in Bacteria have either glutamate or lysine and in Archaea have other residues. Glutamate at this position makes pyruvate kinases K+-dependent, whereas lysine confers K+-independence because the positively charged residue substitutes for the monovalent cation charge. Interestingly, pyruvate kinases from two characterized Crenarchaeota exhibit K+-independent activity, despite having serine at the equivalent position. To better understand pyruvate kinase catalytic activity in the absence of K+ or an internal positive charge, the Thermofilum pendens pyruvate kinase (valine at the equivalent position) was characterized. The enzyme activity was K+-independent. The kinetic mechanism was random order with a rapid equilibrium, which is equal to the mechanism of the rabbit muscle enzyme in the presence of K+ or the mutant E117K in the absence of K+. Thus, the substrate binding order of the T. pendens enzyme was independent despite lacking an internal positive charge. Thermal stability studies of this enzyme showed two calorimetric transitions, one attributable to the A and C domains (Tm of 99.2°C), and the other (Tm of 105.2°C) associated with the B domain. In contrast, the rabbit muscle enzyme exhibits a single calorimetric transition (Tm of 65.2°C). The calorimetric and kinetic data indicate that the B domain of this hyperthermophilic enzyme is more stable than the rest of the protein with a conformation that induces the catalytic readiness of the enzyme. B domain interactions of pyruvate kinases that have been determined in Pyrobaculum aerophilum and modeled in T. pendens were compared with those of the rabbit muscle enzyme. The results show that intra- and interdomain interactions of the Crenarchaeota enzymes may account for their higher B domain stability. Thus the structural arrangement of the T. pendens pyruvate kinase could allow charge-independent catalysis. 相似文献

Further investigation on characterization was conducted on purified neutral aminopeptidase of 160,000 daltons from rabbit skeletal muscle. The enzyme possesses arylamidase activity. The greater part of leucine-β-naphthylamide hydrolyzing activity of the muscle extract was attributed to the enzyme. The Km value for Ala-Gly-Phe-Ala, the most cleavable substrate tested, was 0.25 mm. Substrate inhibition was observed for Val-Val-Val-Ala and Val-Val-Val. The enzyme was inhibited by puromycin in a non-competitive manner, Ki being 4 × 10?6 m. The enzyme was also inhibited by insulin and the oxidized B-chain of insulin. The tetrapeptide with N-terminal residue of d configuration, tRNA, pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate had no effect on the enzyme. On the basis of all properties determined so far, this muscle aminopeptidase is concluded to be identical to none of the known aminopeptidases from other tissues. 相似文献

NADPH-cytochrome c reductase has been isolated from a top-fermenting ale yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Narragansett strain), after ca. a 240-fold purification over the initial extract of an acetone powder, with a final specific activity (at pH 7.6, 30 °C) of ca. 150 μmol cytochrome c reduced min?1mg?1 protein. The preparation appears to be homogeneous by the criteria of: sedimentation velocity; electrophoresis on cellulose acetate in buffers above neutrality; and by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Although the reductase appeared to partially separate into species “A” and “B” on DEAE-cellulose at pH 8.8, the two species have proven to be indistinguishable electrophoretically (above pH 8) and by sedimentation. By sedimentation equilibrium at 20 °C, a molecular weight of ca. 6.8 (± 0.4) × 104 was obtained with use of a calculated from its amino acid composition. After disruption in 4 m guanidinium chloride- 10 mm dithioerythritol- 1 mm EDTA, pH 6.4 at 20 °C, an of 3.4 (± 0.1) × 104 resulted, which points to a subunit structure of two polypeptide chains per mole. Confirmatory evidence of the two-subunit structure with similar, if not identical, polypeptide chains was obtained by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in dodecyl-sulfate, after disruption in 4 m urea and 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and yielded a subunit molecular weight of ca. 4 × 104. Sulfhydryl group titration with 4,4′-dithiodipyridine under acidic conditions revealed one sulfhydryl group per monomer, which apparently is necessary for the catalytic reduction of cytochrome c. NADPH, as well as FAD, protects this-SH group from reaction with 5,5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate). The visible absorption spectrum of the oxidized enzyme (as prepared) has absorption maxima at 383 and 455 nm, typical of a flavoprotein. Flavin analysis (after dissociation by thermal denaturation of the “A” protein) conducted fluorometrically, revealed the presence of 2.0 mol of FAD per 70,000 g, in confirmation of the deduced subunit structure. The identity of the FAD dissociated from either “A” or “B” protein was confirmed by recombination with apo-d-amino acid oxidase and by thin-layer chromatography. A kinetic approach was used to estimate the dissociation constant for either FAD or FMN (which also yields a catalytically active enzyme) to the apoprotein reductase at 30 °C and pH 7.6 (0.05 m phosphate) and yielded values of 4.7 × 10?8m for FAD and 4.4 × 10?8m for FMN. 相似文献
