玉米叶片依赖焦磷酸的磷酸果糖激酶两种分子型动力学特性的研究

从玉米叶片中部分纯化了依赖焦磷酸的磷酸果糖激酶(PPi-PFK),对果糖2,6-二磷酸具有很高的敏感性(K_a≈15nmol/L)。纯化过程中酶的生糖方向活性对酵解方向活性的比值逐渐增加。F2,6-P_2的参与使这一比值下降,并且解除高浓度PPi对酶FBP形成活性的抑制。 用胰蛋白酶限制酶解,90min使80％酶的酵解方向活性丧失而仍然保持几乎全部的酶的生糖方向活性。胰蛋白酶修饰的酶的动力学结果表明F6P饱和曲线呈明显S型而且V_(max)大大下降。在F2,6-P_2存在下修饰酶的K_m(F6P)值比天然酶约大4倍。 酶的生糖方向活性动力学特性的比较说明天然酶和胰蛋白酶修饰酶几乎具有相同的催化能力和底物(F6P)亲合力。 实验支持植物PPi-PFK存在两种可以相互转化的酶分子型的调节酶的活性和作用方向的模型。     

不同糖源及糖水平对大菱鲆糖代谢酶活性的影响

采用34双因素实验设计, 以初始质量为(8.060.08) g的大菱鲆幼鱼(Scophthalmus maximus L.)为对象, 研究在饲料中添加3种糖源(葡萄糖、蔗糖和糊精)及4个水平(0、5%、15%、28%)对大菱鲆肝脏糖酵解关键酶己糖激酶(HK)、葡萄糖激酶(GK)、磷酸果糖激酶(PFK)、丙酮酸激酶(PK)和糖异生关键酶磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶(PEPCK)、1, 6-二磷酸果糖酶(FBPase)活性的影响。结果表明: 饲料糖添加量从0升高到15%时, 大菱鲆的糖酵解酶GK和PK活性随饲料葡萄糖或糊精含量的增加而增加; 当饲料中葡萄糖或糊精含量为28%时, GK和PK活性有下降的趋势。3种糖源的4个添加水平对HK和PFK活性均无显著影响(P 0.05)。添加不同水平的葡萄糖对大菱鲆糖异生途径的PEPCK活性无显著影响(P 0.05), 但在饲料中葡萄糖添加量为5%时显著促进了FBPase活性(P 0.05), 当葡萄糖添加量升高为15%或28%时, FBPase活性与对照组无显著差异(P 0.05)。糊精作为饲料糖源时抑制了大菱鲆肝脏FBPase和PEPCK的活性, 而添加不同水平的蔗糖对FBPase和PEPCK活性的影响均不显著(P 0.05)。总的来说, 从大菱鲆幼鱼肝脏糖代谢角度而言, 在饲料中添加15%的葡萄糖或糊精时, 可以有效促进大菱鲆肝脏糖酵解能力; 较添加葡萄糖, 糊精在促进大菱鲆肝脏糖酵解的同时对糖异生存在一定程度的抑制。蔗糖作为饲料糖源时, 仅在添加量为28%时显著促进糖酵解酶GK活性, 糖酵解其他酶活性以及糖异生酶活性均不受蔗糖水平的显著影响。

松针瘿蚊越冬幼虫体内酶活性的时序变化

昆虫的越冬耐寒过程与糖酵解、磷酸己糖途径和抗冻保护性物质合成等一些中间代谢有关的酶有关。该文对松针瘿蚊Thecodiplosis japonensis老熟幼虫1998/1999越冬期间体内上述代谢酶活性的变化进行了研究。越冬期间体内糖原磷酸化酶活性明显地增加,糖酵解有关的酶（己糖激酶、乳酸脱氢酶和醛缩酶）活性较低,以保证更多的碳源（糖原）转化成海藻糖。越冬期间,体内葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶活性增高所产生的还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(NADPH),可为细胞在亚低温状态下发挥正常功能以及体内抗冻保护性物质的合成提供还原动力,同时通过调节体内海藻糖酶活性来维持越冬期间较高含量的海藻糖和移除春季体内累积的过多的海藻糖。

Enzymes of glucose and methanol metabolism in the actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica.

The actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica was found to employ the normal bacterial set of glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway enzymes, except for the presence of a PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) and a 3-phosphoglycerate mutase that is stimulated by 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Screening of a number of actinomycetes revealed PPi-PFK activity only in members of the family Pseudonocardiaceae. The A. methanolica PPi-PFK and 3-phosphoglycerate mutase enzymes were purified to homogeneity. PPi-PFK appeared to be insensitive to the typical effectors of ATP-dependent PFK enzymes. Nevertheless, strong N-terminal amino acid sequence homology was found with ATP-PFK enzymes from other bacteria. The A. methanolica pyruvate kinase was purified over 250-fold and characterized as an allosteric enzyme, sensitive to inhibition by P(i) and ATP but stimulated by AMP. By using mutants, evidence was obtained for the presence of transketolase isoenzymes functioning in the pentose phosphate pathway and ribulose monophosphate cycle during growth on glucose and methanol, respectively.     

Phosphofructokinase activities in photosynthetic organisms : the occurrence of pyrophosphate-dependent 6-phosphofructokinase in plants and algae

A pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) activity is detectable in extracts of a wide variety of primitive and advanced plants, the Charalean algae, and in the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum. Angiosperms with extractable PPi-PFK activities 4- to 70-fold higher than the respective ATP-PFK activities tend to be succulent and to exhibit CAM. Even though PPi-PFK activity is not detected in crude extracts of some well known CAM plants, e.g. plants in the Crassulaceae, gel filtration of the extract and/or inclusion of the PPi-PFK activator, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, in the assay reveals that a PPi-PFK activity is present in these species. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate likewise activates PPi-PFK activities in extracts of C₃ and C₄ plants. C₃ and C₄ plant PPi-PFK activities are roughly equivalent to ATP-PFK activities in the same species. PPi-PFK activity is also detected in some bryophytes, lower vascular plants, ferns, and gymnosperms. The Charophytes, advanced algae presumed to be similar to species ancestral to vascular plants, exhibit at least 4-fold higher PPi-PFK than ATP-PFK activities. R. rubrum also exhibits a much higher PPi-PFK activity than ATP-PFK activity. These data indicate that PPi-PFK may serve as an alternate enzyme to ATP-PFK in glycolysis in a wide range of photosynthetic organisms.     

Pyrophosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate effects on glycolysis in pea seed extracts

The participation of pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) in plant glycolysis was examined using extracts from pea seeds (Pisum sativum L. cv Alaska). Glycolysis starting with fructose 6-phosphate was measured under aerobic conditions as the accumulation of pyruvate. Pyruvate accumulated in a medium containing PPi and adenosine diphosphate at about two-thirds of the rate in a medium containing adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The PPi-dependent pyruvate accumulation had the same reactant requirements and sensitivity to glycolysis inhibitors, sodium fluoride, and iodoacetamide, as the well-established ATP-dependent glycolysis. Added fructose 2,6-bisphosphate stimulated both the PPi-dependent pyruvate accumulation and PPi-PFK activity whereas this modulator had no effect on ATP-dependent glycolysis or ATP-PFK. Collectively these results demonstrate a PPi-dependent glycolytic pathway in plants which is responsive to fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.     

Enzyme profiles of single muscle fibers never exposed to normal neuromuscular activity.

Do muscle fiber properties commonly associated with fiber types in adult animals and the population distribution of these properties require normal activation patterns to develop? To address this issue, the activity of an oxidative [succinic dehydrogenase (SDH)] and a glycolytic [alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD)] marker enzyme, the characteristics of myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (myosin ATPase, alkaline preincubation), and the cross-sectional area of single fibers were studied. The soleus and medial gastrocnemius of normal adult cats were compared with cats that 6 mo earlier had been spinally transected at T12-T13 at 2 wk of age. In control cats, SDH activity was higher in dark than light ATPase fibers in the soleus and higher in light than dark ATPase fibers in the medial gastrocnemius. After transection, SDH activity was similar to control in both muscles. GPD activity appeared to be elevated in some fibers in each fiber type in both muscles after transection. The cross-sectional areas most affected by spinal transection were light ATPase fibers of the soleus and dark ATPase fibers of the medial gastrocnemius, the predominant fiber type in each muscle. These data demonstrate that although the muscle fibers of cats spinalized at 2 wk of age presumably were never exposed to normal levels of activation, the activity of an oxidative marker enzyme was maintained or elevated 6 mo after spinal transection. Furthermore, although the absolute enzyme activities in some fibers were elevated by transection, three functional protein systems commonly associated with fiber types, i.e., hydrolysis of ATP by myosin ATPase and glycolytic (GPD) and oxidative (SHD) metabolism, developed in a coordinated manner typical of normal adult muscles.     

Measurement of the pyrophosphate content of plant tissues

Pyrophosphate (PPi) was measured in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) tissues by using an enzymic method based on PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK). Different organs of pea and corn seedlings were extracted to determine if PPi is present in sufficient amounts to serve as a substrate for the PPi-PFK activity in these tissues. The amount of PPi is at least 14% to 70% that of the ATP content in shoots and roots of peas and corn; and, for various plant tissues, ranges from 5 to 39 nanomoles of PPi per gram fresh tissue weight. We conclude that PPi is available as a substrate for the glycolytic function of PPi-PFK in plants. Furthermore, the presence of substrate amounts of PPi in plant tissues implies that plant energetics also must be evaluated in terms of PPi as an energy source and phosphate donor.     

Histochemical correlates of changes in the primate brain associated with varying environmental light conditions

Summary Squirrel monkeys were kept in 3 groups of 2 each maintained on one of the following light schedules: 12-12 hour light/dark, continuous light, and continuous dark. The animals (one from each group) were sacrificed after a period of 81/2 and 111/2 months and histochemical techniques for some oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes were employed in cryostat section of the brains of these animals. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), an enzyme involved in glycolytic metabolism, showed enhanced enzyme activity compared to the other two groups in a number of areas (e.g., corpus geniculatum laterale, nucleus n. oculomotorii and trochlearis, nucleus interpeduncularis, locus coeruleus, reticular formation, cerebellar cortex, etc.). LDH showed more pronounced enzyme changes in the neuropil, whereas the neurons showed somewhat more enhanced activity in the succinic dehydrogenase preparations. Butyrylcholinesterase and simple esterase, however, did not show any difference in enzyme reaction in the three groups under study. Similarly, certain areas (e.g., colliculus superior, griseum pontis, central gray, vestibular and cochlear nuclei, choroid plexus and ependyma) did not show any enzyme difference in all the eight enzyme preparations. The epiphysis showed a decrease in monoamine oxidase activity in the constant light-exposed animals compared to the other two groups. The significance of these findings is discussed.     

Enzymatic responses of cat medial gastrocnemius fibers to chronic inactivity.

The role of neuromuscular activity in maintaining the normal enzyme heterogeneity found in a predominantly fast mixed muscle was studied. Enzymatic profiles of single fibers in the adult cat medial gastrocnemius (MG) were examined after almost complete elimination of neuromuscular activity for 6 mo. Inactivity was achieved by spinal cord isolation (SI), i.e., spinal transection at T12-T13 and L7-S1 combined with bilateral dorsal rhizotomy between the two transection sites. Cross-sectional area and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) activities were determined in a population of fibers identified in frozen serial cross sections. Each fiber was categorized as light or dark on the basis of its staining characteristics for qualitative myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase), alkaline preincubation, and its reaction to fast and slow myosin heavy chain (MHC) antibodies. SI resulted in a conversion of nearly all light (approximately 36% in the control) to dark ATPase fibers. Virtually all MG fibers in the SI cats reacted with the fast MHC antibody, whereas very few fibers reacted with slow MHC antibody. On the basis of fiber cross-sectional area, it was estimated that the MG atrophied by approximately 10% after SI. Compared with the mean of the dark and light ATPase fibers in control (weighted by the percent fiber type distribution), mean SDH activity was significantly lower (approximately 70%) and mean GPD activity was significantly higher (approximately 120%) in the SI cats. These data indicate that prolonged electrical silence of a mixed fast hindlimb extensor results in virtually all fibers expressing fast MHC as well as oxidative and glycolytic enzyme profiles normally observed in fast glycolytic fibers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

The Effect of Red and Far-red Light on Subsequent Enzyme Activity in Arena Coleoptiles

The effect of red light (660 nm), far-red light (730 nm) and dark treatment on the subsequent enzyme activity in homogenates of Avena coleoptiles was investigated. The activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), lactic dehydro-genase (LDH) and glucose-6-P dehydrogenase (GDH) were investigated. The activity of SDH was greatest in material receiving continuous darkness. LDH and GDH activity was stimulated by both light treatments compared with the dark values. Little or no difference in enzyme activity was found using either a single 15 min flash of light or continuous light for 24 h. Admixtures of extracts from dark treated and light treated material in a 1:1 ratio gave unexpected levels of enzyme activity. In all cases such admixtures gave much less than the anticipated enzyme activity.     

In silico exploration of the fructose-6-phosphate phosphorylation step in glycolysis: genomic evidence of the coexistence of an atypical ATP-dependent along with a PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase in Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii

We performed a detailed bioinformatic study of the catalytic step of fructose-6-phosphate phosphorylation in glycolysis based on the raw genomic draft of Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii (P. shermanii) ATCC9614 [Meurice et al., 2004]. Our results provide the first in silico evidence of the coexistence of genes coding for an ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (ATP-PFK) and a PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK), whereas the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) and ADP-dependent phosphofructokinase (ADP-PFK) are absent. The deduced amino acid sequence corresponding to the PPi-PFK (AJ508922) shares 100% similarity with the already characterised propionibacterial protein (P29495; Ladror et al., 1991]. The unexpected ATP-PFK gene (AJ509827) encodes a protein of 373 aa which is highly similar (50% positive residues) along at least 95% of its sequence length to different well-characterised ATP-PFKs. The characteristic PROSITE pattern important for the enzyme function of ATP-PFKs (PS00433) was conserved in the putative ATP-PFK sequence: 8 out of 9 amino acid residues. According to the recent evolutionary study of PFK proteins with different phosphate donors [Bapteste et al., 2003], the propionibacterial ATP-PFK harbours a G104-K124 residue combination, which strongly suggested that this enzyme belongs to the group of atypical ATP-PFKs. According to our phylogenetic analyses the amino acid sequence of the ATP-PFK is clustered with the atypical ATP-PFKs from group III of the Siebers classification [Siebers et al., 1998], whereas the expected PPi-PFK protein is closer to the PPi-PFKs from clade P [Müller et al., 2001]. The possible significance of the co-existence of these two PFKs and their importance for the regulation of glycolytic pathway flux in P. shermanii is discussed.
