The action of two lysophospholipases purified from beef liver on lysophosphatidylcholine in microsomal membranes has been studied. Enzyme I, which has been shown to be localized in the soluble fraction of the beef liver cell, has a higher specific activity on microsomal lysophosphatidylcholine than Enzyme II, which originates from the microsomal cell fraction. This trend is also observed with phosphatidylcholine liposomes and single bilayer vesicles in which lysophosphatidylcholine has been incorporated. At low mol fractions of lysophosphatidylcholine in liposomes, the maximum enzymatic rate is proportional to this mol fraction. Similar results are obtained with mixed micelles of lysophosphatidylcholine and Triton X-100. The results are explained in terms of a model in which the two-dimensional substrate density in the membrane surface controls the rate of enzyme action. 相似文献

The activity of two purified lysolecithin-hydrolyzing enzymes on homologous series of synthetic lecithins containing two identical fatty acyl chains and of 1-acyl-lysolecithins has been measured as a function of substrate concentration. In general, enzymatic activity toward lecithins decreased with increasing chain length. Maximal hydrolysis rates for the lysolecithin series were measured with 1-dodecanoyllysolecithin. In this series increased affinities for substrates with increasing acyl-chain length was noticed. In the substrate concentration versus enzymatic velocity curves no breaks were observed at the critical micelle concentration of the various substrates. The initial site of attack during hydrolysis of short-chain lecithins was determined using 1-octanoyl-2pentanoyl-lecithin, 1-hexanoyl-2-hexyllecithin and 1 -hexyl-2-hexanoyllecithin. Both enzymes exhibited a pronounced preference for hydrolysis of the acyl ester bond at the 1-position. Especially the enzyme from beef pancreas seems to be suitable for the enzymatic preparation of 2-acyl lysolecithins from the corresponding short-chain lecithins. 相似文献

1. The subcellular distribution of L-serine-pyruvate aminotransferase activity in rat liver was investigated. About 80% was recovered from cell-free homogenates in a 'total-particles' fraction and the remainder in the cytosol. 2. Subfractionation of the particles by differential sedimentation and on sucrose density gradients showed a distribution for serine-pyruvate aminotransferase activity closely matching that observed for mitochondrial marker enzymes. 3. A study of the solubilization of enzymes from combined subcellular particles by digitonin at various concentrations also indicated a common subcellular location for serine-pyruvate aminotransferase and established mitochondrial enzymes. 4. The increase in liver serine-pyruvate amino-transferase activity induced by glucagon injection was accounted for as an increased mitochondrial activity. 相似文献

To establish on a quantitative basis the subcellular distribution of the enzymes that glycosylate dolichyl phosphate in rat liver, preliminary kinetic studies on the transfer of mannose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate from the respective (14)C- labeled nucleotide sugars to exogenous dolichyl phosphate were conducted in liver microsomes. Mannosyltransferase, glucosyltransferase, and, to a lesser extent, N- acetylglucosamine-phosphotransferase were found to be very unstable at 37 degrees C in the presence of Triton X-100, which was nevertheless required to disperse the membranes and the lipid acceptor in the aqueous reaction medium. The enzymes became fairly stable in the range of 10-17 degrees C and the reactions then proceeded at a constant velocity for at least 15 min. Conditions under which the reaction products are formed in amount proportional to that of microsomes added are described. For N- acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase it was necessary to supplement the incubation medium with microsomal lipids. Subsequently, liver homogenates were fractionated by differential centrifugation, and the microsome fraction, which contained the bulk of the enzymes glycosylating dolichyl phosphate, was analyzed by isopycnic centrifugation in a sucrose gradient without any previous treatment, or after addition of digitonin. The centrifugation behavior of these enzymes was compared to that of a number of reference enzymes for the endoplasmic reticulum, the golgi complex, the plasma membranes, and mitochondria. It was very simily to that of enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum, especially glucose-6-phosphatase. Subcellular preparations enriched in golgi complex elements, plasma membranes, outer membranes of mitochondira, or mitoplasts showed for the transferases acting on dolichyl phosphate relative activities similar to that of glucose- 6-phosphatase. It is concluded that glycosylations of dolichyl phosphate into mannose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate derivatives is restricted to the endoplasmic reticulum in liver cells, and that the enzymes involved are similarly active in the smooth and in the rough elements. 相似文献

Between 13 and 25% of the fumarase activity of rat liver was found to be cytosolic in origin the remainder being localised in the mitochondria. Electrophoretic analysis on cellulose acetate showed that mitochondria do not contain detectable levels of cytosolic isozyme or vice versa. 相似文献

Dolichyl phosphate is an intermediate in the glycosylation of N-glycosamidic linked glycoproteins in mammalian systems, and its availability may be a limiting factor in glycoprotein biosynthesis. The basic kinetics and subcellular distribution of enzymes which may influence the concentration of dolichyl phosphate in rat liver have therefore been investigated. These include dolichyl phosphate phosphatase, dolichol phosphokinase, dolichyl fatty acyl ester synthetase, GDP-mannose dolichyl phosphate mannosyl transferase, and UDP-glucose dolichyl phosphate glucosyl transferase. The specific activity of the enzymes was highest in the microsomes, except for dolichyl phosphate phosphatase and dolichyl fatty acyl ester synthetase, which were most concentrated in the plasma membrane and the cytosol fraction, respectively. The nuclei contained all of the enzyme activities while the mitochondria and cytoplasm were generally less active. The presence of both dolichol phosphokinase and dolichyl phosphate phosphatase in microsomes and nuclei, which contain the highest glycosyl transferase activities, may provide a means for direct enzymatic control of levels of dolichyl phosphate. 相似文献

The subcellular distributions of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase and serine-pyruvate aminotransferase in the particulate fraction of dog liver were examined by centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. Most of both enzyme activities in the particulate fraction were localized in the mitochondria, but not in the peroxisomes. 相似文献

The subcellular distribution of Mg2+ in livers of normal and thyroparathyroidectomized rats has been studied. Significant increases in Mg2+ are found in the mitochondrial fractions of thyroparathyroidectomized rats accompanied by a decrease in the Ca2+ content. In the microsomal fractions no significant modifications of both ions were detected. Propylthiouracil administration reproduced the ionic alterations found after surgical thyroidectomy and a triiodothyronine replacement therapy to thyroidectomized rats resulted in a reversion of the Mg2+ content back to normal levels. The possible participation of the parathyroid in the above mentioned phenomena could be excluded in the present work. 相似文献

Leupeptin, a proteinase inhibitor obtained from culture filtrates of Streptomyces sp., has been proposed as a valuable agent for the restriction of proteolysis in vivo. We have previously shown that mammalian tissues possess an enzymic system that is capable of inactivating leupeptin (Beynon RJ, Brown CP & Butler PE, 1981, Acta Biol. Med. Germ. 40, 1539-1546). This paper demonstrates the ubiquitous distribution of the inactivating system throughout mammalian tissues and provides evidence for the location of the enzyme(s) in the soluble fraction of the cell. 相似文献

Previous observations that valproic acid (VPA) causes hepatic damage prompted us to investigate the effect of large doses of the drug (0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mmol/kg/day) on a number of liver enzymes located on different subcellular fractions. In mitochondria, glutamate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase and ornithine carbamoyltransferase were significantly increased (1.8 mmol/kg/day). In microsomes, gamma-glutamyltransferase activity increased significantly (1.8 mmol/kg) and cytochrome P-450 content decreased significantly (1.2 and 1.8 mmol/kg). In cytosol, both aspartate and alanine aminotransferase activities were increased at all dose levels. These results indicate that VPA induces dose-dependent changes in some liver enzyme activities. 相似文献

The synthesis of acylthioester analogs of lysolecithins, i.e., 2-hexadecanoylthio-1-ethyl-phosphorylcholine and 3-hexadecanoylthio-1-propyl-phosphorylcholine is described. Both compounds were found to be hydrolysed by a homogeneous lysophospholipase from beef liver, a spectrophotometric assay for the activity of which was developed by continuous measurement of the released thiol groups in the presence of dithionitrobenzoic acid.Phospholipase A2 from pig pancreas effected hydrolysis of the acylthioester bond in 2-hexadecanoylthio-1-ethyl-phosphorylcholine, the enzymatic action of which could also be monitored spectrophotometrically.Lipase from pig pancreas was found to hydrolyse acylthioester bonds in 2-hexadecanoylthio-1-ethanol. The tributyryl ester of 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol was synthesized and used to compare the release of total acid and thiol groups during hydrolysis with lipase. A ratio of about 2:1 was found for these releases.These findings clearly indicate the potential applicability of acylthioester analogs of substrates for phospholipases, lysophospholipases, and lipases in continuous spectrophotometric assays for lipolytic enzymes. 相似文献
