The escape of several enzymes from “ammonia catabolite repression” in gdhA? (NADP-linked glutamate-dehydrogenase-less) mutants, as well as in gdhCR mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, does not involve glutamine synthetase, either as a positive or as a negative control element. A glutamine-synthetase-less mutant (gln?) was used in this demonstration.In addition to its derepressing effect on the NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase, the gdhCR mutation releases “nitrogen catabolite repression” on arginase and allatoinase, as well as glutamine repression on glutamine synthetase. A gdhCS mutation was used to demonstrate that these effects are not mediated through the NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Summary A mutation leading to loss of NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase pleiotropically leads to derepression of at least some ammonium-repressible activities in Aspergillus nidulans. It confers hypersensitivity to the toxic ammonium analogue methylammonium and maps independently of the two described loci for mutations to methylamonium resistance. 相似文献

Kinetic analyses done with cell-free extracts of this basidiomycete fungus showed that the NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase exhibited positively co-operative interactions with the substrates 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH, negatively co-operative kinetics with NADP+ and was extremely sensitive to inhibition of deamination activity by ammonium and/or ammonia. The NAD-linked enzyme showed positive co-operativity with NADH, Michaelis-Menten kinetics with all other substrates and was subject only to mild inhibitions by the reaction products. Considered together with the values of the Michaelis constants, these results indicate that the former enzyme is primarily concerned with the amination of 2-oxoglutarate when the concentration of this substrate exceeds about 4 mM, while the NAD-linked enzyme is able to aminate or deaminate as metabolic conditions require. Synthesis of both enzymes was repressed by addition of carbamyl phosphate or N-acetyl-glutamate to mycelial cultures growing in media containing glucose and ammonium as carbon and nitrogen sources. Growth in media containing urea results in repression of the NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase and depression of the NAD-linked enzyme. Such results indicate a connexion between the glutamate dehydrogenases and the urea cycle. It is suggested that under normal conditions of growth on complex media nitrogen is assimilated in the form of amino acids and that the glutamate dehydrogenases act in support of transminases to allow this process to continue, and in support of the urea cycle to allow the disposal of excess nitrogen. 相似文献

1. Epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, Tulahuén strain, contained a NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3), in addition to the already known NADP-linked enzyme enzyme (EC 1.4.1.4). 2. The partially purified NAD-linked enzyme had a higher molecular weight and was much more labile than the NADP-linked enzyme, and was inhibited by purine nucleotides. 3. These results further emphasize the difference in glutamate metabolism between the parasite and its mammalian host. 相似文献

Two pathways of ammonium assimilation are known in bacteria, one mediated by glutamate dehydrogenase, the other by glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase. The activities of these three enzymes were measured in crude extracts from four Rhizobium meliloti wild-type strains, 2011, M15S, 444 and 12. All the strains had active glutamine synthetase and NADP-linked glutamate synthase. Assimilatory glutamate dehydrogenase activity was present in strains 2011, M15S, 444, but not in strain 12. Three glutamate synthase deficient mutants were isolated from strain 2011. They were unable to use 1 mM ammonium as a sole nitrogen source. However, increased ammonium concentration allowed these mutants to assimilate ammonium via glutamate dehydrogenase. It was found that the sole mode of ammonium assimilation in strain 12 is the glutamine synthetase-glutamate synthase route; whereas the two pathways are functional in strain 2011.Abbreviations GS

NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogeanse [EC 1.4.1.2] was detected together with NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.4] and aspartase [EC 4.3.1.1] in Pseudomonas fluorescens cells. The three enzymes were distinctly separated by DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. The NAD-linked enzyme was extremely thermolabile and was rapidly inactivated even at temperatures as low as 35--40 degrees C. The combined addition of NAD+ and glutamate, however, effectively stabilized the enzyme. The glutamate saturation profile of the NAD-linked enzyme exhibited cooperativity with a Hill coefficient (n) of 1.4. ATP inhibited the enzyme in an allosteric manner, increasing the n value to 2.2. These results suggest a novel type of metabolic regulation shared by the three enzymes in the biosynthesis and catabolism of amino acids. 相似文献

We cloned GDH2, the gene that encodes the NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by purifying the enzyme, making polyclonal antibodies to it, and using the antibodies to screen a lambda gt11 yeast genomic library. A yeast strain with a deletion-disruption allele of GDH2 which replaced the wild-type gene grew very poorly with glutamate as a nitrogen source, but growth improved significantly when the strain was also provided with adenine or other nitrogenous compounds whose biosynthesis requires glutamine. Our results indicate that the NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzes the major, but not sole, pathway for generation of ammonia from glutamate. We also isolated yeast mutants that lacked glutamate synthase activity and present evidence which shows that normally NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase is not involved in glutamate biosynthesis, but that if the enzyme is overexpressed, it may function reversibly in intact cells. 相似文献

Leuconostoc mesenteroides glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was isolated in high yield and purified to homogeneity from a newly constructed strain of Escherichia coli which lacks its own glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. Lys-21 is one of two lysyl residues in the enzyme previously modified by the affinity labels pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and pyridoxal 5'-diphosphate-5'-adenosine, which are competitive inhibitors of the enzyme with respect to glucose 6-phosphate (LaDine, J.R., Carlow, D., Lee, W.T., Cross, R.L., Flynn, T.G., & Levy, H.R., 1991, J. Biol. Chem. 266, 5558-5562). K21R and K21Q mutants of the enzyme were purified to homogeneity and characterized kinetically to determine the function of Lys-21. Both mutant enzymes showed increased Km-values for glucose 6-phosphate compared to wild-type enzyme: 1.4-fold (NAD-linked reaction) and 2.1-fold (NADP-linked reaction) for the K21R enzyme, and 36-fold (NAD-linked reaction) and 53-fold (NADP-linked reaction) for the K21Q enzyme. The Km for NADP+ was unchanged in both mutant enzymes. The Km for NAD+ was increased 1.5- and 3.2-fold, compared to the wild-type enzyme, in the K21R and K21Q enzymes, respectively. For the K21R enzyme the kcat for the NAD- and NADP-linked reactions was unchanged. The kcat for the K21Q enzyme was increased in the NAD-linked reaction by 26% and decreased by 30% in the NADP-linked reaction from the values for the wild-type enzyme. The data are consistent with Lys-21 participating in the binding of the phosphate group of the substrate to the enzyme via charge-charge interaction. 相似文献

Glutamate decarboxylase, gamma-aminobutyrate-alpha-ketoglutarate aminotransferase and NAD-linked and NADP-linked succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, all constituting the GABA (gamma-aminobutyrate)-shunt pathway of glutamate metabolism are localized in the mitochondrial matrix in a streptomycin-bleached mutant of Euglena gracilis strain Z. Glutamate dehydrogenase, requiring NADP as the cofactor, was distributed in the cytoplasm. An improved version of the controlled digestion method for preparing Euglena mitochondria, which involves use of trypsin and a trypsin inhibitor and removal of broken cells before mechanical disruption of cells, is also described. 相似文献

1. The NAD(P) transhydrogenase activity of the soluble fraction of sonicated rat liver mitochondrial preparations was greater than the NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase activity, and the NAD-linked and NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase activities were not additive. The NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase activity was destroyed by an endogenous autolytic system or by added nucleotide pyrophosphatase, and was restored by a catalytic amount of NADP. 2. We concluded that the isocitrate dehydrogenase of rat liver mitochondria was exclusively NADP-specific, and that the oxoglutarate/isocitrate couple could therefore be used unequivocally as redox reactant for NADP in experiments designed to operate only the NAD(P) transhydrogenase (or loop 0) segment of the respiratory chain in intact mitochondria. 3. During oxidation of isocitrate by acetoacetate in intact, anaerobic, mitochondria via the rhein-sensitive, but rotenone- and arsenite-insensitive, NAD(P) transhydrogenase, measurements of the rates of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone-sensitive and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone-insensitive pH change in the presence of various oxoglutarate/isocitrate concentration ratios gave an -->H(+)/2e(-) quotient of 1.94+/-0.12 for outward proton translocation by the NAD(P) transhydrogenase. 4. Measurements with a K(+)-sensitive electrode confirmed that the electrogenicity of the NAD(P) transhydrogenase reaction corresponded to the translocation of one positive charge per acid equivalent. 5. Sluggish reversal of the NAD(P) transhydrogenase reaction resulted in a significant inward proton translocation. 6. The possibility that isocitrate might normally be oxidized via loop 0 at a redox potential of -450mV, or even more negative, is discussed, and implies that a P/O quotient of 4 for isocitrate oxidation might be expected. 相似文献

Euglena gracilis z contained two succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenases (EC 1.2.1.16), one requiring NAD and the other NADP, and these isozymes were separated from each other and partially purified. The NAD-linked isozyme was relatively stable on storage at 5 degrees C whereas the NADP-linked one was extremely unstable unless 30% glycerol or ethyleneglycol was added. The optimum pH was 8.7 and optimum temperature 35-45 degrees C for both isozymes. They were inhibited by Zn2+ and activated, particularly the NAD-linked enzyme, by K+. Sulfhydryl reagents activated both isozymes. The Km values for succinic semialdehyde were 1.66 - 10(-4) M with the NAD-linked isozyme and 1.06 - 10(-3) M with the NADP-linked one. The NADP-linked isozyme was induced by glutamate while the NAD-linked one was not. Probable roles of these isozymes in the physiology of Euglena gracilis are discussed. 相似文献

A recent claim in the literature (Moyle, J. and Mitchell, P. (1973) Biochem. J. 132, 571–585) that the NAD-dependent isocitrate oxidation observed in extracts of ratliver mitochondria proceeds entirely via the NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase, and that rat-liver mitochondria contain no NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, has been examined by using palmityl-CoA as a selective inhibitor of transhydrogenase and ADP as a selective activator of the NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. The results unambiguously demonstrate that the NAD-dependent oxidation of isocitrate observed under the conditions employed by Moyle and Mitchell proceeds predominantly via the NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. It is also shown that, by an unfortunate choice of assay conditions, these authors have considerably overestimated the rate of the transhydrogenase reaction. 相似文献

Aspects of inorganic nitrogen assimilation in yeasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cultures of Candida utilis utilise glutamate in preference to ammonia and ammonia in preference to nitrate. The nitrate reductase of this organism is induced by nitrate and repressed in cultures grown on glutamate or ammonia. Nitrate-grown cultures of C. utilis, irrespective of the medium nitrate concentration, behave as though nitrogen-limited. In contrast to C. utilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae utilises ammonia in preference to glutamate. In eight yeasts studied the highest cellular contents of biosynthetic NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase were found in batch cultures containing low concentrations of ammonia or in nitrogen-limited chemostat cultures. NAD-linked glutamate dehydrogenase activity was detected in extracts of cells grown in the presence of glutamate but not in those grown in the presence of ammonia. 相似文献

A nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) linked 6-phosphogluconate (6-PG)dehydrogenase has been detected in Rhizobium. The enzyme activity is similar in both slow- and fast-growing rhizobia. The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) dependent 6-PG dehydrogenase was detected only in the fast growers and was more than twice as active as the NAD-linked enzyme. Partial characterization of the products of 6-PG oxidation in Rhizobium suggests that the NADP-linked enzyme is the decarboxylating enzyme of the pentose phosphate (PP) pathway (EC 1.1.1.44) whereas a phosphorylated six-carbon compound, containing ketonic group(s), is the product of the oxidation catalyzed by the NAD-linked enzyme. 相似文献

The Activities of Some Energy-Metabolising Enzymes in Nonsynaptic (Free) and Synaptic Mitochondria Derived from Selected Brain Regions 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Abstract: The enzyme complement of two different mitochondrial preparations from adult rat brain has been studied. One population of mitochondria (synaptic) is prepared by the lysis of synaptosomes, the other (nonsynaptic or free) by separation from homogenates. These populations have been prepared from distinct regions of the brain: cortex, striatum, and pons and medulla oblongata. The following enzymes have been measured: pyruvate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.1), citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7), NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41), NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42), fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2), NAD-linked malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30), and mitochondrially bound hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) and creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2). The nonsynaptic (free) mitochondria show higher enzyme specific activities in the regions studied than the corresponding values recorded for the synaptic mitochondria. The significance of these observations is discussed in the light of the different metabolic activities of the two populations of mitochondria and the compartmentation of the metabolic activities of the brain. 相似文献

The dual pyridine nucleotide-specific glutamate dehydrogenase [EC 1.4.1.3] was purified 37-fold from Bacteroides fragilis by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 chromatography twice, and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300. The enzyme had a molecular weight of approximately 300,000, and polymeric forms (molecular weights of 590,000 and 920,000) were observed in small amounts on polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the subunit was 48,000. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was pH 5.1. This glutamate dehydrogenase utilized NAD(P)H and NAD(P)+ as coenzymes and showed maximal activities at pH 8.0 and 7.4 for the amination with NADPH and with NADH, respectively, and at pH 9.5 and 9.0 for the deamination with NADP+ and NAD+, respectively. The amination activity with NADPH was about 5-fold higher than that with NADH. The Lineweaver-Burk plot for ammonia showed two straight lines in the NADPH-dependent reactions. The values of Km for substrates were: 1.7 and 5.1 mM for ammonium chloride, 0.14 mM for 2-oxoglutarate, 0.013 mM for NADPH, 2.4 mM for L-glutamate, and 0.019 mM for NADP+ in NADP-linked reactions, and 4.9 mM for ammonium chloride, 7.1 mM for 2-oxoglutarate, 0.2 mM for NADH, 7.3 mM for L-glutamate, and 3.0 mM for NAD+ in NAD-linked reactions. 2-Oxoglutarate and L-glutamate caused substrate inhibition in the NADPH- and NADP+-dependent reactions, respectively, to some extent. NAD+- and NADH-dependent activities were inhibited by 50% by 0.1 M NaCl. Adenine nucleotides and dicarboxylic acids did not show remarkable effects on the enzyme activities. 相似文献

1. A high activity of NAD-linked "malic" enzyme was found in homogenates of flight muscle of different species of tse-tse fly (Glossina). The activity was the same as, or higher than, that of malate dehydrogenase and more than 20-fold that of NADP-linked "malic" enzyme. A similar enzyme was found in the flight muscle of all other insects investigated, but at much lower activities. 2. ACa2+-stimulated oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity was present in all insect flight-muscle preparations investigated, in constant proportion to the NAD-linked "malic" enzyme. 3. A partial purification of the NAD-linked "malic" enzyme from Glossina was effected by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, which separated the enzyme from malate dehydrogenase and NADP-linked "malic" enzyme, but not from oxaloacetate decarboxylase. 4. The intracellular localization of the NAD-linked "malic" enzyme was predominantly mitochondrial; latency studies suggested a localization in the mitochondrial matrix space. 5. Studies on the partially purified enzyme demonstrated that it had a pH optimum between 7.6 and 7.9. It required Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity; Ca2+ was not effective. The maximum rate was the same with either cation, but the concentration of Mn2+ required was 100 times less than that of Mg2+. Acitivity with NADP was only 1-3% of that with NAD, unless very high (greater than 10mM) concentrations of Mn2+ were present. 6. It is suggested that the NAD-linked "malic" enzyme functions in the proline-oxidation pathway predominant in tse-tse fly flight muscle. 相似文献

Considerable variations were found in the in vitro effect of alloxan on mouse liver enzymes associated with the citric acid cycle. The following approximative alloxan concentrations induced 50% inhibition of enzyme activity: 10(-6)M for aconitase, 10(-4)M for NAD-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinyl-CoA synthetase and fumarase, and 10(-3)M for citrate synthase and NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase were not inhibited by 10(-3)M alloxan. The inhibition of aconitase was competitive both when using mouse liver and purified porcine heart enzyme. The Ki values for the purified enzyme in the presence of 5 microM alloxan were 0.22 microM with citrate, 4.0 microM with cis-aconitate and 0.62 microM with isocitrate as substrate. The high sensitivity of aconitase for inhibition by alloxan probably plays a prominent role for the toxic effects of alloxan. 相似文献

Summary. Immunolocalization experiments indicate that both the subunit B of the NADP-linked chloroplastic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.13) and the NAD-linked cytosolic enzyme (EC 1.2.1.12) are present in the pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf nucleus. Subunit A of the NADP-linked enzyme appears to be restricted to the chloroplast.Correspondence and reprints: Department of Biological Sciences m/c 066, University of Illinois-Chicago, 845 West Taylor, Chicago, IL 60607-7060, U.S.A.
