Summary Oxidation of NADH by rat erythrocyte plasma membrane was stimulated by about 50-fold on addition of decavanadate, but not other forms of vanadate like orthovanadate, metavanadate aad vanadyl sulphate. The vanadate-stimulated activity was observed only in phosphate buffer while other buffers like Tris, acetate, borate and Hepes were ineffective. Oxygen was consumed during the oxidation of NADH and the products were found to be NAD+ and hydrogen peroxide. The reaction had a stoichiometry of one mole of oxygen consumption and one mole of H2O2 production for every mole of NADH that was oxidized.Superoxide dismutase and manganous inhibited the activity indicating the involvement of superoxide anions. Electron spin resonance in the presence of a spin trap, 5, 5-dimethyl pyrroline N-oxide, indicated the presence of superoxide radicals. Electron spin resonance studies also showed the appearance of VIV species by reduction of VV of decavanadate indicating thereby participation of vanadate in the redox reaction. Under the conditions of the assay, vanadate did not stimulate lipid peroxidation in erythrocyte membranes. Extracts from lipid-free preparations of the erythrocyte membrane showed full activity. This ruled out the possibility of oxygen uptake through lipid peroxidation. The vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidation activity could be partially solubilized by treating erythrocyte membranes either with Triton X-100 or sodium cholate. Partially purified enzyme obtained by extraction with cholate and fractionation by ammonium sulphate and DEAE-Sephadex was found to be unstable.  相似文献

Oxidation of NADH has been observed in an in vitro system requiring NADH, vanadate, ascorbate, and phosphate. Similar results were observed with NADPH. Ascorbate provides the reducing equivalents necessary to reduce vanadate to vanadyl. Vanadyl autoxidizes producing superoxide which initiates a free radical chain reaction resulting in oxidation of NADH. Oxidation is inhibited by superoxide dismutase but not by catalase or ethanol. Ascorbate functions to initiate the free radical chain reaction but is not required in stoichiometric concentrations. At higher concentrations, ascorbate inhibits NADH oxidation. Inorganic phosphate was required for NADH oxidation. Dialysis of phosphate buffers against solutions containing apoferritin or conalbumin or addition of transition metal cations or chelators to the reaction medium did not alter dependence on phosphate. Phosphate and vanadate were interchangeable in their effects on kinetic parameters of NADH oxidation except that vanadate was 100 times more potent than phosphate. Vanadate participates directly in the initiating and propagating redox reactions of NADH oxidation. Phosphate may be important in lowering the energy of activation for the necessary transfer of hydronium ion and water in the transition state between vanadate anion and vanadyl cation.  相似文献

Vanadate-dependent oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase does not require the presence of xanthine and therefore is not due to cooxidation. Addition of NADH or xanthine had no effect on the oxidation of the other substrate. Oxidation of NADH was high at acid pH and oxidation of xanthine was high at alkaline pH. The specific activity was relatively very high with NADH. Concentration-dependent oxidation of NADH Concentration-dependent oxidation of NADH was obtained in the presence of the polymeric form of vanadate, but not orthovanadate or metavanadate. Both NADH and NADPH were oxidized, as in the nonenzymatic system. Oxidation of NADH, but not xanthine, was inhibited by KCN, ascorbate, MnCl2, cytochrome c, mannitol, Tris, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and triiodothyronine. Oxidation of NADH was accompanied by uptake of oxygen and generation of H2O2 with a stoichiometry of 1:1:1 for NADH:O2:H2O2. A 240-nm-absorbing species was formed during the reaction which was different from H2O2 or superoxide. A mechanism of NADH oxidation is suggested wherein Vv and O2 receive one electron each successively from NADH followed by VIV giving the second electron to superoxide and reducing it to H2O2.  相似文献

Plasma membrane-stimulated vanadate-dependent NADH oxidation has been characterized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This activity is specific for vanadate, because molybdate, a similar metal oxide, did not substitute for vanadate in the reaction. Vanadate-dependent plasma membrane-stimulated NADH oxidation activity was dependent on the concentrations of vanadate, NADH, and NADPH and required functional plasma membranes; no stimulation occurred in the presence of boiled membranes or bovine serum albumin. The dependence of membrane-stimulated vanadate-dependent NADH oxidation was not linearly dependent on added membrane protein. The activity was abolished by the superoxide anion scavenger superoxide dismutase and was stimulated by paraquat and NADPH. These data are consistent with the previously proposed chain reaction for vanadate-dependent NADH oxidation. The role of the plasma membrane appears to be to stimulate superoxide radical formation, which is coupled to NADH oxidation by vanadate. 51V-nuclear magnetic resonance studies are consistent with the hypothesis that a phosphovanadate anhydride is the stimulatory oxyvanadium species in the phosphate buffers used at pHs 5.0 and 7.0. In phosphate buffers, compared with acetate buffers, the single vanadate resonance was shifted upfield at both pH 5.0 and pH 7.0, which is characteristic of the phosphovanadate anhydride. Since the cell contains an excess of phosphate to vanadate, the phosphovanadate anhydride may be involved in membrane-mediated vanadate-dependent NADH oxidation in vivo.  相似文献

Vanadium compounds are known to stimulate the oxidation of NAD(P)H, but the mechanism remains unclear. This reaction was studied spectrophotometrically and by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) using vanadium in the reduced state (+4, vanadyl) and the oxidized state (+5, vanadate). In 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, vanadyl was slightly more effective in stimulating NADH oxidation than was vanadate. Addition of a superoxide generating system, xanthine/xanthine oxidase, resulted in a marked increase in NADH oxidation by vanadyl, and to a lesser extent, by vanadate. Decreasing the pH with superoxide present increased NADH oxidation for both vanadate and vanadyl. Addition of hydrogen peroxide to the reaction mixture did not change the NADH oxidation by vanadate, regardless of concentration or pH. With vanadyl however, addition of hydrogen peroxide greatly enhanced NADH oxidation which further increased with lower pH. Use of the spin trap DMPO in reaction mixtures containing vanadyl and hydrogen peroxide or a superoxide generating system resulted in the detection by ESR of hydroxyl. In each case, the hydroxyl radical signal intensity increased with vanadium concentration. Catalase was able to inhibit the formation of the DMPO--OH adduct formed by vanadate plus superoxide. These results show that the ability of vanadium to act in a Fenton-type reaction is an important process in the vanadium-stimulated oxidation of NADH.  相似文献

Rat liver microsomes catalyze a vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NAD(P)H, which is augmented by paraquat and suppressed by superoxide dismutase, but not by catalase. NADPH oxidation was a linear function of the concentration of microsomes in the absence of vanadate, but was a saturating function in the presence of vanadate. Microsomes did not catalyze a vanadate-stimulated oxidation of reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH), but gained this ability when NADPH was also present. When the concentration of NMNH was much greater than that of NADPH a minimal average chain length could be calculated from 1/2 the ratio of NMNH oxidized per NADPH added. The term chain length, as used here, signifies the number of molecules of NMNH oxidized per initiating event. Chain length could be increased by increasing [vanadate] and [NMNH] and by decreasing pH. Chain lengths in excess of 30 could easily be achieved. The Km for NADPH, arrived at from saturation of its ability to trigger NMNH oxidation by microsomes in the presence of vanadate, was 1.5 microM. Microsomes or the outer mitochondrial membrane was able to catalyze the vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NADH or NADPH but only the oxidation of NADPH was accelerated by paraquat. The inner mitochondrial membrane was able to cause the vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NAD(P)H and in this case paraquat stimulated the oxidation of both pyridine coenzymes. Our results indicate that vanadate stimulation of NAD(P)H oxidation by biomembranes is a consequence of vanadate stimulation of NAD(P)H or NMNH oxidation by O-2, rather than being due to the existence of vanadate-stimulated NAD(P)H oxidases or dehydrogenases.  相似文献

Vandate augments the oxidation of NAD(P)H, but not of NMNH, by rat liver microsomes. Paraquat increases the vanadate effect on NADPH, but not on NADH, oxidation. Substoichiometric levels of NADPH caused the co-oxidation of NADH or NMNH and SOD inhibited in all cases. The ratio of NADH or NMNH co-oxidized per NADPH added allowed estimation of average chain length, which increased as the pH was lowered from 8.0 to 7.1. The initial rate of this co-oxidation of NMNH was a saturating function of the concentration of microsomes, reflecting a decrease in chain length with an increase in number of concomitant reaction chains, and due to increasing radical-radical termination reactions. Mitochondrial outer membranes behaved like the microsomal membranes, but mitochondrial inner membranes catalyzed a rapid oxidation of NADH which could be augmented by vanadate, whose action was enhanced by paraquat and inhibited by antimycin or rotenone. These and related observations support the view that vanadate stimulates NAD(P)H oxidation by biological membranes, not by virtue of interacting with enzymes, but rather by interacting with O-2.  相似文献

Oxidation of NADH by decavanadate, a polymeric form vanadate with a cage-like structure, in presence of rat liver microsomes followed a biphasic pattern. An initial slow phase involved a small rate of oxygen uptake and reduction of 3 of the 10 vanadium atoms. This was followed by a second rapid phase in which the rates of NADH oxidation and oxygen uptake increased several-fold with a stoichiometry of NADH: O2 of 11. The burst of NADH oxidation and oxygen uptake which occurs in phosphate, but not in Tris buffer, was prevented by SOD, catalase, histidine, EDTA, MnCl2 and CuSO4, but not by the hydroxyl radical quenchers, ethanol, methanol, formate and mannitol. The burst reaction is of a novel type that requires the polymeric structure of decavanadate for reduction of vanadium which, in presence of traces of H2O2, provides a reactive intermediate that promotes transfer of electrons from NADH to oxygen.  相似文献

The effects of cadmium on isolated corn shoot mitochondria were determined. In the absence of phosphate cadmium stimulated the oxidation of exogenous NADH optimally at 0.025 mM, but was inhibitory at 0.1 mM and above. The presence of phosphate negated the cadmium stimulation of exogenous NADH oxidation and permitted inhibitions only at higher cadmium concentrations. Succinate or malate + pyruvate oxidation in the absence of phosphate was inhibited to a greater extent by cadmium than when phosphate was present. ADP/O and respiratory control ratios were reduced by cadmium but generally were less sensitive to cadmium than state 4 or minus phosphate respiration. The data suggest that the site of cadmium effect is likely to be early in electron transport. Cadmium had a pronounced effect on mitochondrial swelling under either passive or active conditions. When succinate or exogenous NADH were being oxidized swelling occurred at 0.05 mM cadmium, but with malate + pyruvate the cadmium concentration had to exceed 1.0 mM. Phosphate (2 mM) prevented the swelling. Dithiothreitol, a SH group protector, prevented any effect of cadmium on swelling or respiration which suggests that sulfhydryl groups are likely involved in the cadmium-membrane interaction.  相似文献

Vanadate (V(V)) stimulates the oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase and superoxide dismutase eliminates the effect of V(V). Paraquat stimulates both the oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase and the V(V) enhancement of that oxidation. Xanthine, which is a better substrate for xanthine oxidase than is NADH, causes a V(V)-dependent co-oxidation of NADH which is transient and eliminated by SOD. Urate inhibits the V(V)-stimulated oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase or by Rose Bengal plus light. Measurement of rates of both O2- production and V(V)-stimulated NADH oxidation showed that many molecules of NADH were oxidized per O2-. These chain lengths were an inverse function of overall reaction rate. Minimum chain lengths, calculated on the basis of 100% univalent reduction of O2 to O2-, were smaller than measured average chain lengths by a factor of five. All of these results are in accord with the view that V(V) does not directly affect the activity of the enzyme, but rather catalyzes the free radical chain oxidation of NADH by O2-. It was further shown that phosphate was not involved and that the active form of V(V) was orthovanadate, rather than decavanadate.  相似文献

Vanadate or molybdate strongly accelerate the cooxidation of NADH, or of reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide, by the xanthine oxidase plus xanthine reaction. Superoxide dismutase eliminated the effect of vanadate or molybdate, while catalase was without effect. It follows that vanadate or molybdate accelerate the oxidation of dihydropyridines by O-2. A stoichiometry of 4 NADH oxidized per O-2 introduced suggests a chain reaction for which a mechanism is proposed. These results provide an explanation for the reported stimulation, by vanadate, of NADH oxidation by biological membranes.  相似文献

Vanadate, a normal constituent of cells, has been reported to affect a variety of enzymes involved in phosphate transfer; the findings regarding adenylate cycle vary with the tissue and experimental system. In the corpus luteum, cyclic AMP (cAMP) stimulates steroidogenesis; and prostaglandin F2 alpha, which induces luteal regression, inhibits luteinizing hormone (LH)-induced cAMP accumulation. We examined the influence of orthovanadate on cAMP concentration in isolated corpora lutea from pseudopregnant rats. With 2 mM vanadate, basal cAMP level was unaffected, but LH-induced cAMP accumulation was inhibited by 45-68%. Lower doses of vanadate (0.2-1 mM) were almost as effective. When added simultaneously with LH, vanadate was inhibitory within 25 min, but no inhibition occurred when vanadate was added for 30 min to tissue pretreated with LH for 60 min. The decrease in cAMP accumulation was observed also when corpora lutea were exposed to vanadate in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (0.5 mM), indicating that vanadate inhibits cAMP synthesis. Vanadate may increase cytosolic calcium by inhibiting ion pumps in cell membranes. Thus, we examined the effect of vanadate in corpora lutea incubated in calcium-depleted medium and found that vanadate still inhibited cAMP formation. Vanadyl sulfate (0.4 and 2 mM) reduced the LH-induced cAMP accumulation as effectively as vanadate. Thus, the use of vanadate as a tool for exploring physiological regulators of luteal adenylate cyclase should be considered.  相似文献

Polyvanadate solutions obtained by extracting vanadium pentoxide with dilute alkali over a period of several hours contained increasing amounts of decavanadate as characterized by NMR and ir spectra. Those solutions having a metavanadate:decavanadate ratio in the range of 1-5 showed maximum stimulation of NADH oxidation by rat liver plasma membranes. Reduction of decavanadate, but not metavanadate, was obtained only in the presence of the plasma membrane enzyme system. High simulation of activity of NADH oxidation was obtained with a mixture of the two forms of vanadate and this further increased on lowering the pH. Addition of increasing concentrations of decavanadate to metavanadate and vice versa increased the stimulatory activity, reaching a maximum when the metavanadate:decavanadate ratio was in the range of 1-5. Increased stimulatory activity can also be obtained by reaching these ratios by conversion of decavanadate to metavanadate by alkaline phosphate degradation, and of metavanadate to decavanadate by acidification. These studies show for the first time that both deca and meta forms of vanadate present in polyvanadate solutions are needed for maximum activity of NADH oxidation.  相似文献

The mechanism of the vanadate (V(v))-dependent oxidation of NADH was different in phosphate buffers and in phosphate-free media. In phosphate-free media (aqueous medium or HEPES buffer) the vanadyl (V(v)) generated by the direct V(v)-dependent oxidation of NADH formed a complex with V(v). In phosphate buffers V(v) autoxidized instead of forming a complex with V(v). The generated superoxide radical (O2) initiated, in turn, a high-rate free radical chain oxidation of NADH. Phosphate did not stimulate the V(v)-dependent NADH oxidation catalyzed by O2-generating systems. Monovanadate proved to be a stronger catalyzer of NADH oxidation as compared to polyvanadate.  相似文献

The effect of orthovanadate on the uptake of phosphate by agedpotato tuber tissue was investigated to study the relationshipwith plasma membrane ATPase activity. Vanadate inhibited therate of phosphate uptake by aged discs with a maximum effectat 500 µM (58% inhibition). When vanadate was added tothe ageing medium for 24 h, the subsequent rate of phosphateuptake was also markedly decreased (68% inhibition). The resultsshow that the inhibition by vanadate was not due to enhancedleakage of phosphate nor to a non-specific toxic effect. Furthermore,complementary experiments with erythrosin B and molybdate wereconsistent with the hypothesis that vanadate acts specificallyon the plasma membrane ATPase and that this enzyme is involvedin maintaining the driving force for active uptake of phosphate(via co-transport with protons) by storage cells of potato tubers.

The effect and possible mechanism of action of vanadate on the isolated pulmonary arterial rings of normal rats were studied. Pulmonary arterial rings contracted in response to vanadate (0.1-1 mM) in a concentration-dependent manner. Preincubation of the pulmonary arterial rings with 1 mM melatonin significantly reduced the contractile effect of vanadate by more than 60%. Furthermore, addition of hydrogen peroxide (50 microM) or enzymatic generation of hydrogen peroxide by the addition of glucose oxidase (10 U/mL) to the medium containing glucose produced remarkable increases in the pulmonary arterial tension, 46.2 +/- 7.3 and 78.7 +/- 9.7 g tension/g tissue, respectively. Similarly, incubation of the pulmonary arterial rings with 1 mM melatonin significantly reduced the contractile responses of the arterial rings to hydrogen peroxide and glucose/glucose oxidase to 25.7 +/- 2.9 and 24.7 +/- 4.4 g tension/g tissue, respectively. Vanadate, in vitro, significantly stimulated the oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase, and the rate of oxidation was increased by increasing either time or vanadate concentration. Similarly, addition of melatonin to a reaction mixture containing xanthine oxidase and vanadate significantly inhibited the rate of NADH oxidation in a concentration-dependent fashion. The results of the present study indicated that vanadate induced contraction in the isolated pulmonary arterial rings, which was significantly reduced by melatonin. Furthermore, the contractile effect of vanadate on the pulmonary arterial rings may be attributed to the intracellular generation of hydrogen peroxide.  相似文献

Cell-suspension cultures of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) can be used as a very sensitive and rapidly responding physiological system for monitoring extracellular signals. Elicitors effect the activation of the genes that code for a set of enzymes synthesizing stilbenes. Within 2–6 h after administering micromolar, concentrations of orthovanadate to the suspended cells, the enzyme activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, stilbene synthase, and cinnamate 4-hydroxylase increased 10-to 100-fold. The transient time course of induction, and the quality and quantity of gene expression found with vanadate as artificial elicitor were very similar to those observed after biotic stress generated by fungal cell walls. The dose-response of vanadate as an elicitor of gene expression in intact cells matched precisely its inhibitory effect on the ATPase activity of isolated plasma membrane. By concentrating, on the profiles of cinnamate 4-hydroxylase activity, we observed differences between the effects elicited by fungal cell wall or vanadate when different stages of cell development were analyzed. Unlike the fungal elicitor, vanadate did not induce the hydroxylase activity when cells at the stationary phase of the cell cycle were used. This lack of response was not the result of a decrease in membrane biosynthesis. The finding, that the effects of vanadate and fungal elicitor are additive indicates that vanadate does not interfere negatively with the perception of the biotic signal but rather addresses the same intracellular intermediate of the signalling process. We hypothesize that membrane potentials created or modulated by ATPases may be intermediates in the signal chain, starting with the recognition process at the plasma membrane and eventually leading to the production of stilbenes as low-molecular-weight plant-defence products.Abbreviations ER endoplasmic reticulum - Tris 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol deceased  相似文献

(1) Aerobic incubation of heart muscle submitochondrial particles in phosphate buffer after treatment with NADH causes a progressive and substantial inhibition of the NADH oxidation system. Succinate oxidation remains almost unaffected by NADH treatment. (2) The loss of NADH oxidase activity is due to an inhibition of the respiratory chain-linked NADH dehydrogenase. This inhibition of the enzyme is very similar to that caused by combination of the organic mercurial mersalyl with NADH dehydrogenase. (3) The inhibition of NADH oxidation is largely prevented by compounds that are known to react with superoxide ions (02-.), including superoxide dismutase, cytochrome c, tiron and Mn2+. EDTA also has a protective effect, but a number of other metal chelating agents, and several proteins, including catalase, are without effect. (4) It is concluded that the inhibition of NADH oxidation of NADH oxidation by superoxide ions or by mersalyl is reversible and is therefore not due to the loss of oxidoreduction components from the respiratory chain or to an irreversible change in protein conformation. (6) The function of mitochondrial superxide dismutase is discussed in relation to the key role of NADH dehydrogenase in energy-conserving reactions and the formation of hydrogen peroxide during mitochondrial oxidations.  相似文献

H2O2 and vanadate are known insulinomimetic agents. Together they induce insulin's bioeffects with a potency which exceeds that seen with insulin, vanadate, or H2O2 alone. Employing Western blotting with anti-P-Tyr antibodies, we have identified in Fao cells at least four proteins (pp180, 150, 114, and 100) whose P-Tyr content is rapidly increased upon treatment of the cells with 3 mM H2O2. Tyrosine phosphorylation of these and additional proteins was markedly potentiated (6-10-fold) when 100 microM sodium orthovanadate was added together with H2O2. The effects of H2O2 and vanadate on protein tyrosine phosphorylation were rapid and specific. The enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation was accompanied by a concomitant inhibition of a cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. The latter was inhibited by 50% in 3 mM H2O2-treated cells. The inhibitory effect was augmented in the combined presence of H2O2 and vanadate. Half- and maximal effects of vanadate were obtained at 15 microM and 1 mM, respectively. Vanadate (1 mM) alone, added to the cells, had only a trivial effect on protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. A 45-s challenge with insulin (10(-7) M) of cells pretreated with H2O2 largely mimicked the potentiating effects of vanadate on protein tyrosine phosphorylation but not on protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Our results suggest the involvement of multiple tyrosine-phosphorylation proteins in mediating the biological effects of H2O2/vanadate. Their enhanced phosphorylation can be attributed at least in part, to the inhibitory effects exerted by H2O2 alone, or in combination with vanadate, on protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. The similarity between proteins phosphorylated in Fao cells in response to H2O2/vanadate or H2O2/insulin, suggests that either treatment stimulates protein tyrosine kinases having similar substrate specificities. The insulin receptor kinase is a likely candidate as its activity is markedly enhanced either by insulin (plus H2O2) or by H2O2/vanadate.  相似文献
