1. Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase is purified to near homogeneity by hydroxylapatite-, affinity- and hydrophobic interaction-chromatography. 2. The enzyme is an oligomeric protein and its molecular weight, as determined by gel-filtration, is 117,000 +/- 5000. 3. Active only in the presence of exogenous sulfhydryl compounds and NAD(+)-dependent, aldehyde dehydrogenase works optimally with linear-chain aliphatic aldehydes and is practically inactive with benzaldehyde. The pH-optimum is at about pH 8.5. 4. Km-Values for aliphatic aldehydes (C2-C6) range between 0.17 and 0.32 microM. The Km for NAD+ increases from 16 microM with acetaldehyde to 71 microM with capronaldehyde. 5. Millimolar concentrations of Mg2+ promote high increases of both V and Km for NAD+. At the same time, saturation curves with C4-C6 aldehydes can be simulated with a substrate inhibition model. 6. Inhibition by NADH is competitive: with capronaldehyde, the inhibition constant for NADH is 52 microM in the absence of Mg2+ and 14 microM in the presence of 4 mM Mg2+; with acetaldehyde, the inhibition constant is about three times higher (36 and 159 microM, respectively).  相似文献

Since ethanol consumption decreases hepatic aminotransferase activities in vivo, mechanisms of ethanol-mediated transaminase inhibition were explored in vitro using mitochondria-depleted rat liver homogenates. When homogenates were incubated at 37 degrees with 50 mM ethanol for 1 hr, alanine aminotransferase decreased by 20%, while aspartate aminotransferase was unchanged. After 2 hr, aspartate aminotransferase decreased by 20% and by 3 hr, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases were decreased by 31 and 23%, respectively. Levels of acetaldehyde generated during ethanol oxidation were 525 +/- 47 microM at 1 hr, 855 +/- 14 microM at 2 hr, and 1293 +/- 140 microM at 3 hr. Although inhibition of alcohol oxidation with methylpyrazole or cyanide markedly decreased ethanol-mediated transaminase inhibition, neither incubation with acetate nor generation of reducing equivalents by oxidation of lactate, malate, xylitol, or sorbitol altered the activity of either enzyme. However, semicarbazide, an aldehyde scavenger, prevented inhibition of both aminotransferases by ethanol. Moreover, incubation with 5 mM acetaldehyde for 1 hr inhibited alanine and aspartate aminotransferases by 36 and 26%, respectively. Cyanamide, an aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor, had little effect on ethanol-mediated transaminase inhibition. Thus, metabolism of ethanol by rat liver homogenates produces transaminase inhibition similar to that described in vivo and this effect requires acetaldehyde generation but not acetaldehyde oxidation. Since addition of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate to assay mixes did not reverse ethanol effects, aminotransferase inhibition does not result from displacement of vitamin B6 coenzymes.  相似文献

1. The influence of Mg2+ on the kinetic behaviour of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase from rat testis has been investigated using capronaldehyde as substrate. 2. The kinetic data, obtained by numerical analysis of the progress curves of aldehyde oxidation, were fitted to a modified version of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model and the fitting procedure resulted in a good correspondence between theoretical and experimental reaction rates over a wide range of capronaldehyde and Mg2+ concentrations. 3. According to the model, the tetrameric enzyme is in equilibrium between two conformational states R and T which display comparable affinities for capronaldehyde (the dissociation constants are 0.17 and 0.3 microM, respectively), but different catalytic power (VT = 2VR). The T state can bind with lower affinity a second molecule of aldehyde (K = 2.5 microM). 4. Mg2+ stabilizes the T state (the dissociation constants for the R and T states are 2.2 and 0.12 mM, respectively) and acts as a strong activator of the R state, but as a weak inhibitor of the T state. In the absence of substrates and Mg2+, the R<-->T equilibrium favors the R state ([T]/[R] = 0.16). 5. The model is able to predict the kinetic behaviour also when the NAD+ concentrations are not saturating and when inhibitory effects by NADH are taken into account.  相似文献

Crotonaldehyde was oxidized by disrupted rat liver mitochondrial fractions or by intact mitochondria at rates that were only 10 to 15% that of acetaldehyde. Although a poor substrate for oxidation, crotonaldehyde is an effective inhibitor of the oxidation of acetaldehyde by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, by intact mitochondria, and by isolated hepatocytes. Inhibition by crotonaldehyde was competitive with respect to acetaldehyde, and the Ki for crotonaldehyde was about 5 to 20 microM. Crotonaldehyde had no effect on the oxidation of glutamate or succinate. Very low levels of acetaldehyde were detected during the metabolism of ethanol. Crotonaldehyde increased the accumulation of acetaldehyde more than 10-fold, indicating that crotonaldehyde, besides inhibiting the oxidation of added acetaldehyde, also inhibited the oxidation of acetaldehyde generated by the metabolism of ethanol. Formaldehyde was a substrate for the low-Km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, as well as for a cytosolic, glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase. Crotonaldehyde was a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidation of formaldehyde, but had no effect on the activity of formaldehyde dehydrogenase. In hepatocytes, crotonaldehyde produced about 30 to 40% inhibition of formaldehyde oxidation, which was similar to the inhibition produced by cyanamide. This suggested that part of the formaldehyde oxidation occurred via the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, and part via formaldehyde dehydrogenase. The fact that inhibition by crotonaldehyde is competitive may be of value since other commonly used inhibitors of aldehyde dehydrogenase are irreversible inhibitors of the enzyme.  相似文献

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) convert aldehydes into their corresponding carboxylic acids. ALDH1A1, also known as ALDH class 1 (ALDH1) or retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (RALDH1), prefers retinal to acetaldehyde as a substrate. To investigate the effects of divalent cations on the dehydrogenase activity of Xenopus laevis ALDH1A1, the formation of acetate and retinoic acid from acetaldehyde and retinal, respectively, was investigated in the presence of Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ or Zn2+. All divalent cations tested inhibited the oxidation of acetaldehyde and retinal by ALDH1A1. When acetaldehyde was used as a substrate, the 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were 10, 24, 35 and 220 microM for Zn2+, Mn2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+, respectively. Kinetic studies of ALDH1A1 dehydrogenase activity in the presence or absence of each cation revealed that the inhibition mode by cations was uncompetitive against acetaldehyde, retinal, and NAD+, and that their inhibitory potencies were greater against acetaldehyde than retinal. It was concluded that the divalent cations inhibited X. laevis ALDH1A1 activity in a substrate-dependent manner by affecting a step of the dehydrogenase reaction that occurred after the formation of the ternary complex of the enzyme, substrate, and coenzyme.  相似文献

Oxidative deamination of putrescine, the precursor of polyamines, gives rise to γ-aminobutyraldehyde (ABAL). In this study an aldehyde dehydrogenase, active on ABAL, has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from rat liver cytoplasm and its kinetic behaviour investigated. The enzyme is a dimer with a subunit molecular weight of 51,000. It is NAD+-dependent, active only in the presence of sulphhydryl compounds and has a pH optimum in the range 7.3–8.4. Temperatures higher than 28°C promote slow activation and the process is favoured by the presence of at least one substrate. Km for aliphatic aldehydes decreases from 110 μM for ABAL and acetaldehyde to 2–3 μM for capronaldehyde. The highest relative V-values have been observed with ABAL (100) and isobutyraldehyde (64), and the lowest with acetaldehyde (14). Affinity for NAD+ is affected by the aldehyde present at the active site: Km for NAD+ is 70 μM with ABAL, 200 μM with isobutyraldehyde and capronaldehyde, and>800 μM with acetaldehyde. The kinetic behaviour at 37°C is quite complex; according to enzymatic models, NAD+ activates the enzyme (Kact 500 μM) while NADH competes for the regulatory site (Kin 70 μM). In the presence of high NAD+ concentrations (4 mM), ABAL promotes further activation by binding to a low-affinity regulatory site (Kact 10 mM). The data show that the enzyme is probably an E3 aldehyde dehydrogenase, and suggest that it can effectively metabolize aldehydes arising from biogenic amines.  相似文献

Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes (AHD-1 and AHD-5) have been isolated in a highly purified state from extracts of mouse liver mitochondria. The enzymes have distinct subunit sizes, as determined by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis: AHD-1, 63,000; AHD-5, 49,000. Gel exclusion chromatography, using sephadex G-200, indicated that both isozymes are dimers, although AHD-1 may also exist as a monomeric form as well. The enzymes exhibited widely divergent kinetic characteristics. The purified allelic forms of AHD-1, AHD-1A (C57BL/6J mice) and AHD-1B (CBA/H mice), exhibited high Km values with acetaldehyde as substrate, 1.4 mM and 0.78 mM respectively, whereas AHD-5 exhibited a low Km value with acetaldehyde of 0.2 microM. In addition, the isozymes exhibited distinct pH optima for catalysis (AHD-1, pH range 6.5-7.5; AHD-5, pH range 8.5-10.0), and were differentially sensitive towards disulphuram inhibition, with 50% inhibition occurring 13 and 0.1 microM for the AHD-1 and AHD-5 isozyme respectively. Based upon the kinetic characteristics, it is suggested that AHD-5 may be the primary enzyme for oxidizing mitochondrial acetaldehyde during ethanol oxidation in vivo.  相似文献

The enzymes catalyzing the NAD-dependent oxidation of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) were isolated from rat liver extracts. Upon 5'-AMP-Sepharose chromatography MDA dehydrogenase was separated into two isoforms, I and II. Isoform I was eluted from the affinity carrier with a 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 8.0. This isoform had a broad substrate specificity towards aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. Kinetic studies showed that short- and medium-chain aliphatic aldehydes (C2-C6) were characterized by the lowest Km values and the highest Vmax values. The Km' values for MDA and acetaldehyde were 2.8 microM and 0.69 microM, respectively. Isoform II was eluted with a 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 8.0 containing 0.5 mM NAD, was the most active with medium- and long-chain aliphatic aldehydes (C6-C11) and had Km values for MDA and acetaldehyde equal to 37 microM and 52 microM, respectively. Isoform I was much more sensitive towards disulfiram inhibition than isoform II. Both isoforms had an identical molecular mass (93 kD) upon gel filtration. It is concluded that MDA dehydrogenase isoform I is identical to mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase having a low Km for acetaldehyde, whereas isoform II may be localized in liver cytosol. The role of aldehyde dehydrogenases in the metabolism of aldehydes derived from lipid peroxidation is discussed.  相似文献

Acetaldehyde and biogenic aldehydes were used as substrates to investigate the subcellular distribution of aldehyde dehydrogenase activity in autopsied human brain. With 10 microM acetaldehyde as substrate, over 50% of the total activity was found in the mitochondrial fraction and 38% was associated with the cytosol. However, with 4 microM 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde and 10 microM indoleacetaldehyde as substrates, 40-50% of the total activity was found in the soluble fraction, the mitochondrial fraction accounting for only 15-30% of the total activity. These data suggested the presence of distinct aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes in the different compartments. The mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions were, therefore, subjected to salt fractionation and ion-exchange chromatography to purify further the isozymes present in both fractions. The kinetic data on the partially purified isozymes revealed the presence of a low Km isozyme in both the mitochondria and the cytosol, with Km values for acetaldehyde of 1.7 microM and 10.2 microM, respectively. However, the cytosolic isozyme exhibited lower Km values for the biogenic aldehydes. Both isozymes were activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+ in phosphate buffers (pH 7.4). Also, high Km isozymes were found in the mitochondria and in the microsomes.  相似文献

The Michaelis constant values for the highly purified pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) from human heart are 25, 13 and 50 microM for pyruvate, CoA and NAD, respectively. Acetyl-CoA produces a competitive inhibition of PDC (Ki = 35 microM) with respect to CoA, whereas NADH produces the same type of inhibition with respect to NAD (Ki = 36 microM). The oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDC) from human heart has active sites with two different affinities for 2-oxoglutarate ([S]0.5 of 30 and 120 microM). ADP (1 mM) decreases the [S]0.5 values by a half. The inhibition of OGDC (Ki = 81 microM) by succinyl-CoA is of a competitive type with respect to CoA (Km = 2.5 microM), whereas that of NADH (Ki = 25 microM) is of a mixed type with respect to NAD (Km = 170 microM).  相似文献

A simple rate equation for alcohol dehydrogenase was obtained by assuming independent binding sites for ethanol and NAD+ and fully competitive inhibition by the products of the reaction, acetaldehyde and NADH. A random binding order was also assumed. The rate equation is described by six parameters: four association constants (two for the substrates and two for the products of the reaction), Vf for the forward direction, and the equilibrium constant of the reaction. The six parameters were determined at pH 7.4 by numerical analysis of progress curves of reactions started with different concentrations of ethanol and NAD+. The parameters for alcohol dehydrogenase partially purified from rat liver were: Km for ethanol = 0.746 mM, Km for NAD+ = 0.0563 mM, Km for acetaldehyde = 7.07 microM, Km for NADH = 4.77 microM and Keq = 2.36 X 10(-4). The computed values allowed a very good simulation of the experimental progress curves and little variation was observed in the kinetic parameters when the reactions were started in the presence of either NADH or acetaldehyde.  相似文献

The existence of three different proteins exhibiting NAD-dependent acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity was confirmed in Alicaligenes eutrophus. The fermentative alcohol dehydrogenase, which also exhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity, is one of these proteins. The other two proteins were purified from A. eutrophus N9A mutant AS4 grown on ethanol applying chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel and triazine-dye affinity media. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase II, which amounts to about 14% of the total soluble protein in cells grown on ethanol, was purified to homogeneity. The relative molecular masses of the native enzyme and of the subunits were 195,000 or 56,000, respectively. This enzyme exhibits a high affinity for acetaldehyde (Km = 4 microM). Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase I amounts only to less than 1% of the total soluble protein. The relative molecular masses of the native enzyme and of the subunits were 185,000 and 52,000, respectively. This enzyme exhibits a low affinity for acetaldehyde (Km = 2.6 mM). Antibodies raised against acetaldehyde dehydrogenase II did not react with acetaldehyde dehydrogenase I. Two different strains, A. eutrophus N9A mutant AS1, which represents a different mutant type and can utilize both ethanol or 2,3-butanediol, and the type strain of A. eutrophus (TF93), which can utilize ethanol, form two acetaldehyde dehydrogenases during growth on ethanol, too. As in AS4, one of these enzymes from each strain amounted to a substantial portion of the total soluble protein in the cells. These major acetaldehyde dehydrogenases were purified from both strains; they resemble acetaldehyde dehydrogenase II isolated from AS4 in all relevant properties. Antibodies against the enzyme isolated from AS4 gave identical cross-reactions with the enzymes isolated from AS1 and TF93.  相似文献

A new enzyme that hydrolyzes diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate has been purified by a factor of 250 from the acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Activity was assayed radioisotopically with [3H]Ap4A. Isolation of the enzyme was facilitated by dye-ligand chromatography. The enzyme symmetrically hydrolyzes Ap4A to ADP and exhibits biphasic kinetics for the substrate with values for the apparent Km of 2.6 micro M and 37 micro M. The two values of Vmax differ by a factor of 10. Mg2+, Ca2+, and other divalent cations inhibit the activity with 40-80% inhibition occurring at 0.5 mM. Mg2+, at 0.5 mM, decreases both values of Vmax by 50%, decreases the low Km value by about 30%, and increases the high Km value by about 100%. (Ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA), at 10 mM, inhibit the activity by 50%. ADP, ATP, Ap4, and Gp4 are equipotent inhibitors with 50% inhibition occurring at 30 micro M. AMP is a relatively weak inhibitor. The molecular weight of the enzyme is 26000 on the basis of elution of activity from a calibrated Sephadex G-75 column.  相似文献

Formaldehyde can be metabolized primarily by two different pathways, one involving oxidation by the low-Km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, the other involving a specific, glutathione-dependent, formaldehyde dehydrogenase. To estimate the roles played by each enzyme in formaldehyde metabolism by rat hepatocytes, experiments with acetaldehyde and cyanamide, a potent inhibitor of the low-Km aldehyde dehydrogenase were carried out. The glutathione-dependent oxidation of formaldehyde by 100,000g rat liver supernatant fractions was not affected by either acetaldehyde or by cyanamide. By contrast, the uptake of formaldehyde by intact mitochondria was inhibited 75 to 90% by cyanamide. Acetaldehyde inhibited the uptake of formaldehyde by mitochondria in a competitive fashion. Formaldehyde was a weak inhibitor of the oxidation of acetaldehyde by mitochondria, suggesting that, relative to formaldehyde, acetaldehyde was a preferred substrate. In isolated hepatocytes, cyanamide, which inhibited the oxidation of acetaldehyde by 75 to 90%, produced only 30 to 50% inhibition of formaldehyde uptake by cells as well as of the production of 14CO2 and of formate from [14C]formaldehyde. The extent of inhibition by cyanamide was the same as that produced by acetaldehyde (30-40%). In the presence of cyanamide, acetaldehyde was no longer inhibitory, suggesting that acetaldehyde and cyanamide may act at the same site(s) and inhibit the same formaldehyde-oxidizing enzyme system. These results suggest that, in rat hepatocytes, formaldehyde is oxidized by cyanamide- and acetaldehyde-sensitive (low-Km aldehyde dehydrogenase) and insensitive (formaldehyde dehydrogenase) reactions, and that both enzymes appear to contribute about equally toward the overall metabolism of formaldehyde.  相似文献

Highly purified branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex (BCOADC) oxidizes 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate and 2-oxobutyrate, with Km values of 67 microM and 18 microM respectively. The Vmax. for oxidation of these substrates is 27% and 53% respectively of that for 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate. Highly purified pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) oxidizes 2-oxobutyrate (Km 100 microM; Vmax. 49% of that for pyruvate) but not 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate, whereas 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex will not utilize either 2-oxo acid as substrate. BCOADC kinase is inhibited by both 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate and 2-oxobutyrate, with half-maximal inhibition by 45 microM and 50 microM respectively. Phosphorylation of BCOADC in isolated adipocytes is inhibited by both 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate and 2-oxobutyrate, consistent with their inhibitory action of BCOADC kinase. Phosphorylation of PDC is decreased by 2-oxobutyrate, but not by 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate.  相似文献

The transport of cGMP out of cells is energy requiring and has characteristics compatible with an ATP-energised anion pump. In the present study a model with inside-out vesicles from human erythrocytes was employed for further characterisation of the cGMP transporter. The uptake of leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), a substrate for multidrug resistance protein (MRP), was concentration-dependently inhibited by the leukotriene antagonist MK571 (IC(50)=110+/-20 nM), but cGMP was unable to inhibit LTC(4) uptake. Oxidised glutathione (GSSG) and glutathione S-conjugates caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of [(3)H]cGMP uptake with IC(50) of 2200+/-700 microM for GSSG, 410+/-210 microM for S-(p-nitrobenzyl)glutathione and 37+/-16 microM for S-decylglutathione, respectively. Antioxidants such as reduced glutathione and dithiothreitol did not influence transport for concentrations up to 100 microM, but both inhibited cGMP uptake with approx. 25% at 1 mM. The cGMP pump was sensitive to temperature without activity below 20 degrees C. The transport of cGMP was dependent on pH with maximal activity between pH 8.0 and 8.5. Calcium caused a concentration-dependent inhibition with IC(50) of 43+/-12 microM. Magnesium gave a marked activation in the range between 1 and 20 mM with maximum effect at 10 mM. The other divalent cations, Mn(2+) and Co(2+), were unable to substitute Mg(2+), but caused some activation at 1 mM. EDTA and EGTA stimulated cGMP transport concentration-dependently with 50% and 100% above control at 100 microM, respectively. The present study shows that the cGMP pump has properties compatible with an organic anion transport ATPase, without affinity for the MRP substrate LTC(4). However, the blockade of the cGMP transporter by glutathione S-conjugates suggests it is one of several GS-X pumps.  相似文献

Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.2) and sarcosine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.1) are flavoproteins which catalyze the oxidative demethylation of dimethylglycine to sarcosine and sarcosine to glycine, respectively. During these reactions tightly bound tetrahydropteroylpentaglutamate (H4PteGlu5) is converted to 5,10-methylene tetrahydropteroylpentaglutamate (5,10-CH2-H4PteGlu5), although in the absence of H4PteGlu5, formaldehyde is produced. Single turnover studies using substrate levels of the enzyme (2.3 microM) showed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with apparent first-order rate constants of 0.084 and 0.14 s-1 at 23 and 48.3 microM dimethylglycine, respectively, for dimethylglycine dehydrogenase and 0.065 s-1 at 47.3 microM sarcosine for sarcosine dehydrogenase. The rates were identical in the absence or presence of bound tetrahydropteroylglutamate (H4PteGlu). Titration of the enzymes with substrate under anaerobic conditions did not disclose the presence of an intermediate semiquinone. The effect of dimethylglycine concentration upon the rate of the dimethylglycine dehydrogenase reaction under aerobic conditions showed nonsaturable kinetics suggesting a second low-affinity site for the substrate which increases the enzymatic rate. The Km for the high-affinity active site was 0.05 mM while direct binding for the low-affinity site could not be measured. Sarcosine and dimethylthetin are poor substrates for dimethylglycine dehydrogenase and methoxyacetic acid is a competitive inhibitor at low substrate concentrations. At high dimethylglycine concentrations, increasing the concentration of methoxyacetic acid produces an initial activation and then inhibition of dimethylglycine dehydrogenase activity. When these compounds were added in varying concentrations to the enzyme in the presence of dimethylglycine, their effects upon the rate of the reaction were consistent with the presence of a second low-affinity binding site on the enzyme which enhances the reaction rate. When sarcosine is used as the substrate for sarcosine dehydrogenase the kinetics are Michaelis-Menten with a Km of 0.5 mM for sarcosine. Also, methoxyacetic acid is a competitive inhibitor of sarcosine dehydrogenase with a Ki of 0.26 mM. In the absence of folate, substrate and product determinations indicated that 1 mol of formaldehyde and of sarcosine or glycine were produced for each mole of dimethylglycine or sarcosine consumed with the concomitant reduction of 1 mol of bound FAD.  相似文献

Purified bovine heart pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was used to investigate the effects of monovalent cations and alpha-ketoisovalerate on pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) kinase inhibition by thiamin pyrophosphate. Initial velocity patterns for thiamin pyrophosphate inhibition were consistent with hyperbolic non-competitive or hyperbolic uncompetitive inhibition at various K+ concentrations between 0 and 120 mM. The Kis, Kid, and Kin for thiamin pyrophosphate were in the range of 0.009 to 5.1 microM over the range of K+ concentrations tested. In the absence of K+, 1 mM alpha-ketoisovalerate had no effect on PDH kinase inhibition by thiamin pyrophosphate, whereas in the presence of 20 mM K+, alpha-ketoisovalerate stimulated PDH kinase activity almost 2-fold over the range of 0-80 microM thiamin pyrophosphate. Half-maximal stimulation by alpha-ketoisovalerate occurred at about 200 microM in the presence of 100 microM thiamin pyrophosphate and 20 mM K+. Similar but less extensive changes occurred in the presence of 100 microM thiamin pyrophosphate and 1 mM NH4+. Initial velocity patterns for PDH kinase inhibition by thiamin pyrophosphate in the presence of 2 mM alpha-ketoisovalerate were mixed noncompetitive, but alpha-ketoisovalerate increased the Vm and Km for adenosine 5'-triphosphate in the presence of inhibitor. In the presence of thiamin pyrophosphate, PDH kinase remained stimulated after chromatography on Sephadex G-25 to remove alpha-ketoisovalerate. The results indicate that acylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by alpha-ketoisovalerate results in PDH kinase stimulation but only in the presence of monovalent cations and thiamin pyrophosphate.  相似文献

1. Aldehyde dehydrogenase subcellular distribution studies were performed in a heterogeneous stock (HS) of male and female mice (Mus musculus) with propionaldehyde (5 mM and 50 microM) and formaldehyde (1 mM) and NAD+ or NADP+. 2. The relative percents of distribution were: cytosolic 55-68%, mitochondrial 12-20%, microsomal 9-18% and lysosomal 3-15% for both propionaldehyde concentrations and NAD+. 3. Kinetic experiments using propionaldehyde and acetaldehyde with NAD+ revealed two separate enzymes, Enzyme I (low Km) and Enzyme II (high Km) in the cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions. 4. The kinetic data also indicated a spectrum of cytosolic low Km values that exhibited a bimodal distribution with one congruent to 40 microM and one congruent to 5 microM. 5. It was concluded that there was no significant difference in aldehyde-metabolizing capability between male and female HS mice, compared on a per gram of liver basis. The cytosolic low Km enzyme plays a major role in aldehyde oxidation at moderate to low aldehyde concentrations.  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
