The effect of physiological concentrations of glucagon and insulin on glycogenolysis was studied in the presence and absence of substrates in isolated hepatocytes containing high glycogen. In the absence of substrates glucagon stimulated glycogenolysis at 10?14M concentration, and addition of 100 μunits of insulin partially inhibited glucagon stimulated glycogenolysis (10?14M to 10?11M). However, in the presence of substrates, insulin completely inhibited glucagon stimulated glycogenolysis (10?14M to 10?11M), indicating that molar glucagon and insulin ratios control carbohydrate metabolism in liver. Additional studies showed incorporation of amino acid into protein was linear for only 3 to 4 hr in cells containing low glycogen, whereas in cells containing high glycogen, incorporation was linear for 8 to 10 hr.  相似文献

In the course of studies on the metabolism of a new antitumor anthracycline antibiotic, aclacinomycin A, the new keto reductase which catalyzes the reduction of keto group of L-cinerulose of aclacinomycin A to L-rhodinose was found in rat liver microsomal membrane. The enzyme requires NADH for the reduction and showed optimum pH at 7.0. Km value for aclacinomycin A, 2.1 × 10?5 M and the concentration of NADH need to half maximal activity, 6.2 × 10?5 M were obtained. The activity was potently inhibited by detergents, such as Triton X-100, sodium deoxycholate and sodium dodecyl sulfate.  相似文献

The rate of NADH oxidation with oxygen as the acceptor is very low in mouse liver plasma membrane and erythrocyte membrane. When vanadate is added, this rate is stimulated 10- to 20-fold. The absorption spectrum of vanadate does not change with the disappearance of NADH. The reaction is inhibited by superoxide dismutase, and there is no activity under an argon atmosphere. This indicates that oxygen is the electron acceptor and the reaction is mediated by superoxide. The vanadate stimulation is not limited to plasma membrane. Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum show similar increase in NADH oxidase activity when vanadate is added. The endomembranes have significant vanadate-stimulated activity with both NADH and NADPH. The vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidase in plasma membrane is inhibited by compounds, which inhibit NADH dehydrogenase activity: catechols, anthracycline drugs and manganese. This activity is stimulated by high phosphate and sulfate anion concentrations.  相似文献

NADH oxidase activity (electron transfer from NADH to molecular oxygen) of plasma membranes purified from rat liver was characterized by a cyanide-insensitive rate of 1 to 5 nmol/min per mg protein. The activity was stimulated by growth factors (diferric transferrin and epidermal growth factor) and hormones (insulin and pituitary extract) 2- to 3-fold. In contrast, NADH oxidase was inhibited up to 80% by several agents known to inhibit growth or induce differentiation (retinoic acid, calcitriol, and the monosialoganglioside, GM3). The growth factor-responsive NADH oxidase of isolated plasma membranes was not inhibited by common inhibitors of oxidoreductases of endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. As well, NADH oxidase of the plasma membrane was stimulated by concentrations of detergents which strongly inhibited mitochondrial NADH oxidases and by lysolipids or fatty acids. Growth factor-responsive NADH oxidase, however, was inhibited greater than 90% by chloroquine and quinone analogues. Addition of coenzyme Q10 stimulated the activity and partially reversed the analogue inhibition. The pH optimum for NADH oxidase was 7.0 both in the absence and presence of growth factors. The Km for NADH was 5 microM and was increased in the presence of growth factors. The stoichiometry of the electron transfer reaction from NADH to oxygen was 2 to 1, indicating a 2 electron transfer. NADH oxidase was separated from NADH-ferricyanide reductase, also present at the plasma membrane, by ion exchange chromatography. Taken together, the evidence suggests that NADH oxidase of the plasma membrane is a unique oxidoreductase and may be important to the regulation of cell growth.  相似文献

Insulin and glucagon degradation by rat kidney homogenates and subcellular fractions was examined under a variety of conditions including high and low substrate concentrations, at pH 4 and pH 7, with and without glutathione. At high insulin concentration (4.1 · 10?5 M) insulin degradation by the homogenate was greatest at pH 4 but at low insulin concentration (1 · 10?10 M) insulin degradation was greatest at pH 7. At either high or low glucagon concentration glucagon degradation by the homogenate was greatest at pH 7. Glutathione at pH 7 stimulated insulin degradation at high insulin concentrations and inhibited insulin degradation at low concentrations. Glucagon degradation at pH 7 was inhibited at both high and low concentrations of glucagon by glutathione.Separation of kidney into cortex and medulla prior to homogenation produced a pattern of insulin and glucagon degradation identical to the whole homogenate but glucagon degradation by the medulla was greater than by the cortex.Examination of degradation by subcellular fractions revealed that at high concentration at neutral pH most insulin was degraded by the 100 000 × g pellet but at low insulin concentrations over 90% of the activity was in the 100 000 × g supernatant. At pH 7, at both high and low concentrations, most glucagon-degrading activity was in the 100 000 × g pellet, although the cytosol also had activity. At pH 4 most degradation occurred in the lysosomal fractions.Separation into cortex and medulla again showed similar distribution of activity as the whole gland with the medulla having more glucagon-degrading activity than the cortex. With low insulin concentrations the cortex 100 000 × g supernatant had higher relative specific activities than the medulla supernatant.Examination of recoveries of enzyme activity revealed that the subcellular fractions consistently had markedly less insulin-degrading activity than the original homogenate. This loss of activity was only discernible when insulin degradation was performed at pH 7 at low substrate concentrations. Comparable losses of glucagon-degrading activity were not seen.  相似文献

The outer membrane of turnip (Brassica rapa L.) mitochondria was isolated by incubating the mitochondria with a dilute digitonin solution and differential centrifuging. The outer membrane fraction was not contaminated by inner membrane enzymes and lacked an NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. However it possessed very active NADH-cytochrome c, dichloroindophenol and ferricyanide reductases which were insensitive to antimycin A, Amytal and low (less than 10 μm) concentrations of Dicumarol. p-Chloromercuribenzoate (ClHgBzO?) and high concentrations (greater than 10 μm) of Dicumarol inhibited the reductases, ClHgBzO? almost completely. Preincubation of the outer membrane with NADH protected it from ClHgBzO? inhibition. An acid phosphatase and an NADPH-ferricyanide reductase were also detected, but the latter was only loosely bound to the membrane. The NADH dehydrogenase of the outer membrane was insensitive to ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)N,N′-tetraacetate (1 mm) and was not stimulated by CaCl2 (0.5 mm), thus differing from the external NADH oxidase of the inner membrane (Coleman, J. O. D., and Palmer, J. M. (1971) FEBS Lett., 17, 203–208). Respiratory-linked oxidation of exogenous NADH by intact mitochondria showed a similar pattern of inhibition by ClHgBzO? as did the outer membrane, but was inhibited strongly by low concentrations of Dicumarol (5 μm inhibited by 70%).  相似文献

Activity of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase in leaf extracts of eastern hemlock [Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.] was relatively low, but could be markedly increased by use of protective agents. The best method employed polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVP) in the extraction medium plus removal of phenolic compounds by filtering the extracts through an insoluble PVP (Polyclar AT) column. Further purification of the enzyme was achieved by means of DEAE cellulose chromatography and DEAE Sephadex chromatography. A 94-fold purification of the enzyme with a total recovery of 43% was obtained. The eastern hemlock ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase was characterized by its diaphorase activity, i.e. the transfer of electrons from NADPH to an electron acceptor. 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol. The pH optimum for the oxidation of NADPH is between 8.5 and 9.0. The enzyme is highly specific for its electron donor. NADPH, but shows low specificity for electron acceptors. The apparent Michaelis constant values of the enzyme for NADPH. NADH, and 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol are 2.4 × 10?5, 5.4 × 10?3, and 4.7 × 10?5M respectively. The molecular weight of the enzyme, as estimated by gel filtration, is about 45,000. The enzyme is inhibited by both organic and inorganic mercurials and certain cations. Comparison of properties of eastern hemlock ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase and spinach ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase shows that both enzymes are similar.  相似文献

Peroxisomes and mitochondria were purified from potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) by differential centrifugation followed by separation on a continuous Percoll gradient containing 0.3 M sucrose in the lower half and 0.3 M mannitol in the upper half. The peroxisomes band at the bottom and the mitochondria in the middle of this type of gradient. Mitochondrial contamination of the peroxisomes was only 2% [as judged by cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.3.9.1) activity]. Contamination by amyloplasts, plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum was also minimal. The peroxisomes were 80% intact as judged by malate dehydrogenase (MDH, NAD?-dependent; EC 1.1.1.37) latency. The specific activity of NADH-ferricyanide reductase and NADH-Cyt c reductase was 0.22 and 0.051 μmol (mg protein)?1 min?1 in freshly isolated peroxisomes, respectively. The active site of the reductase appeared to be on the inner surface of the membrane. The peroxisomes also contained a b-type cytochrome. Frozen peroxisomes were subfractionated by osmotic rupture followed by centrifugation to separate the soluble proteins from the peroxisomal membrane. About half the MDH and 30% of the NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity was associated with the membrane but only 6% of the catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) activity. A further wash removed 75% of the residual catalase with only a small loss of MDH or NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity. MDH appears to be closely associated with the peroxisomal membrane. When the purified peroxisomal membrane was analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by silver staining, prominent bands at 22, 40, 41, 48, 53 and 74 kDa were observed. After immunoblotting the purified peroxisomal membrane, a band at 53 kDa showed strong cross-reactivity with antibodies raised against NADH-ferricyanide reductase. Since the NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity in the peroxisomal membrane could be shown to be specific for the β-hydrogen of NADH, the activity could not be due to contamination by endoplasmic reticulum where the reductase is α-specific. We conclude that the peroxisomal membrane contains a short redox chain, consisting of a NADH-ferricyanide reductase and a b-type cytochrome, similar to that of e.g. the plasma membrane. The role of this redox chain has yet to be elucidated.  相似文献

Specific binding of insulin to highly purified preparations of rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane of mouse liver was determined. 125I-labeled insulin bound maximally to the plasma membrane in radio-receptor assays. Golgi apparatus fractions exhibited binding 10–20% that of plasma membrane and rough endoplasmic reticulum exhibited only 1–2% of plasma membrane binding. Binding was proportional to membrane concentration and dose vs. response curves were very similar for the different fractions. Scatchard analysis of the insulin binding data for the plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus fractions showed curvilinear plots yielding similar apparent binding affinities (0.9 and 3.0 · 108 M?1, respectively). Purity of the isolated endomembranes was analyzed by morphometry and (Na+ + K+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and these preparations displayed less than 1% contamination by plasma membrane. These findings provide important confirmation of the presence of insulin receptors in Golgi apparatus membranes comparable to those located on the plasma membrane. Finally, the present study did not allow us to verify the existence of insulin receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

We have assayed absorbance changes generated by blue light in plasma membranes, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondrial membranes from Neurospora crassa. Light minus dark difference spectra, obtained anaerobically in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetate, indicated that b-type cytochromes could be photoreduced in all three membranes. In plasma membranes, a b-type cytochrome with a distinct difference spectrum was photoreducible without addition of exogenous flavin. Addition of riboflavin greatly stimulated the photoreduction of cytochromes in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial membranes. In its spectral characteristics the cytochrome on the endoplasmic reticulum resembled cytochrome b5 or nitrate reductase, while the cytochrome in mitochondrial membranes had the same spectrum as cytochrome b of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Cytochromes in the three membrane fractions reacted differently to blue light in the presence of various inhibitors. Potassium azide inhibited reduction of plasma membrane cytochrome b, with 50% inhibition at 1.0 millimolar. The same concentration of azide stimulated photoreduction of cytochromes in both endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Although photoreduction of cytochromes in all three membranes was inhibited by salicylhydroxamic acid, cytochromes in plasma membranes were more sensitive to this inhibitor than those in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Cells grown to induce nitrate reductase activity showed an elevated amount of blue light-reducible cytochrome b in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Microsomal membrane preparations of cauliflower inflorescences and mung bean hypocotyls possess duroquinone (DQ)-stimulated NADH oxidase activities at rates of 1–10 nmol NADH · min · mg. These redox reaction are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM) as shown by the distributions of marker enzymes in sucrose gradients. The NADH oxidase thus partially cosediments with a specific blue light (or ascorbate) reducible b type cytochrome of the PM.Cauliflower membranes are further purified by means of an aqueous polymer two phase method. The NADH oxidase in this presumptive PM fraction is to some extent stimulated by Triton X-100 and insensitive to KCN (1 mM) or quinacrine (0.4 mM). Kinetics for DQ stimulation showed a biphasic saturation curve. These membranes also have a high FeCN reduction capacity induced by NADH but insensitive to DQ.No evidence could be found in the present study for the involvement of the specific b type cytochrome in the NADH dehydrogenase system.  相似文献

The addition of insulin (4.0 × 10?11 M) or acetylcholine (10?6 M) to isolated hepatocytes stimulated glycogen accumulation and this stimulation was more pronounced when the medium glucose was raised from 50 to 300 mg percent. Studies with [14C]-glucose showed a two-fold stimulation in glycogen synthesis by the addition of insulin (4.0 × 10?11 M) or acetylcholine (10?6 M). A sixteen percent increase in the activity of glycogen synthase was observed in cells incubated for 10 minutes with insulin (4.0 × 10?11 M) or acetylcholine (10?6 M), whereas at one hour incubation a 40 percent increase in activity was observed with the same concentration of insulin or acetylcholine. The effects of insulin and acetylcholine were not additive.  相似文献

The subcellular distribution of NADase in splenic and peritoneal macrophages of the mouse has been studied. Conventional procedures for fractionation and isolation of subcellular components demonstrated that the NADase of murine macrophages was localized in the microsomal fraction. By using the diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid, a nonpenetrating reagent known to inactivate ecto-enzymes in intact cells, purified plasma membrane preparations, and marker enzymes, 5′-nucleotidase for plasma membrane and glucose 6-phosphatase for the microsomal fraction, we have shown that: (i) NADase of murine macrophages is a plasma membrane ecto-enzyme and (ii) the microsomal fraction is a mixture of endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane elements. At 5 × 10?4 M concentration, the diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid drastically decreased NADase in intact splenic and peritoneal macrophages of the mouse. 5′-Nucleotidase was similarly inhibited by this reagent, whereas the activity of glucose 6-phosphatase remained unaffected. There was a good recovery of NADase of high specific activity in plasma membrane preparations that were characterized by high 5′-nucleotidase and low glucose 6-phosphatase activity.  相似文献

Androgen binding activity was evaluated in different subcellular particulate fractions obtained by differential centrifugation of 32-day-old rat seminiferous tubules homogenates. After eliminating heavy particles by centrifugation at 4300 g during 4 min in 0.25 M sucrose buffer, a 27,000 g pellet was obtained and layered on 1.05 M sucrose buffer. The relatively light particulate interface (LPF) formed during centrifugation at 27,000 g 60 min, showed the highest androgen binding activity among particulate fractions.This binding was associated with the plasma membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase and it did not follow any of six other subcellular structure markers: DNA for nuclei, succinate dehydrogenase for mitochondria, acid phosphatase for lysosomes, NADPH-cytochrome C reductase for smooth endoplasmic reticulum, RNA for rough endoplasmic reticulum and lactate dehydrogenase for cytosol.In LPF, concentrations of sites were estimated to be 328 ± 54 fmol per mg proteins and affinity constant 0.78 ± 0.23 109 M−1. Heat stability, steroid specificity, affinity constant and rate of dissociation were similar to the well known androgen binding protein, ABP. Presence of ABP or a similar protein in subcellular particles might play a role in the mechanism of action of androgens in seminiferous tubules of maturing rats.  相似文献

Non-confluent monolayers of H4-II-E-C3 cells were maintained in serum-free media. Dexamethasone alone (5 × 10?7M) stimulated α-fetoprotein secretion 2- to 4-fold while insulin alone (8.7 × 10?8M) inhibited α-fetoprotein secretion by 20%. When dexamethasone (5 × 10?7 to 5 × 10?9M) and insulin (8.7 × 10?8 to 8.7 × 10?11M) were added simultaneously, insulin diminished the stimulatory effect of dexamethasone. When α-fetoprotein secretion was elevated by dexamethasone and the medium was replaced by media containing either insulin or no hormones, the rate of α-fetoprotein secretion diminished more rapidly with the insulin-supplemented medium. Alone or in combination, insulin and dexamethasone had little effect on albumin secretion.  相似文献

Evidence is presented for a transmembranous NADH-dehydrogenase in human erythrocyte plasma membrane. We suggest that this enzyme is responsible for the ferricyanide reduction by intact cells. This NADH-dehydrogenase is distinctly different from the NADH-cytochromeb 5 reductase on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Pretreatment of erythrocytes with the nonpenetrating inhibitor diazobenzene sulfonate (DABS) results in a 35% loss of NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity in the isolated plasma membrane. Since NADH and ferricyanide are both impermeable, the transmembrane enzyme can only be assayed in open membrane sheets with both surfaces exposed, and not in closed vesicles. The transmembrane dehydrogenase has affinity constants of 90 µM for NADH and 125 µM for ferricyanide. It is inhibited byp-chloromercuribenzoate, bathophenanthroline sulfonate, and chlorpromazine.  相似文献

A relationship between the activity of NADH oxidase of the plasma membrane and the IAA-induced elongation growth of hypocotyl segments in etiolated soybean (Glycine max Merr.) seedlings was investigated. The plasma membrane NADH oxidase activity increased in parallel to IAA effect on elongation growth in hypocotyl segments. Actually, NADH oxidase activity was stimulated 3-fold by 1 u,M IAA, and the elongation rate of segments was stimulated 10-fold by 10 iM IAA. The short-term elongation growth kinetics, however, showed that the IAA-induced elongation of hypocotyl segments was completely inhibited by plasma membrane redox inhibitors such as actinomycin D and adriamycin, at 80 μM and 50 μM respectively. In addition, 1 mM actinomycin D inhibited the IAA-stimulated NADH oxidase activity by about 80%. However, adriamycin had no effect on NADH oxidase activity of plasma membrane vesicles. Based on these results, the plasma membrane redox reactions seemed to be involved in IAA-induced elongation growth of hypocotyls, and the redox component responding to IAA was suggested to be NADH oxidase.  相似文献

The topography of the inner mitochondrial membrane was investigated using inhibitors of electron transport on preparations of beef heart mitochondria and electron transport particles of opposite orientation. Reductions of juglone, ferricyanide, indophenol, coenzyme Q, duroquinone, and cytochrome c by NADH are inhibited to different extents on both sides of the membrane by the impermeant hydrophilic chelators bathophenanthroline sulfonate and orthophenanthroline. The extent of inhibition for each acceptor increased in the order given. At least two chelator-sensitive sites are present on each membrane face between the flavoprotein and coenzyme Q and a chelator-sensitive site is present on the matrix face between the sites of coenzyme Q and duroquinone interaction. Duroquinol oxidation in mitochondria only is stimulated by bathophenanthroline sulfonate. Juglone reduction is stimulated in electron transport particles (only) by p-hydroxymercuribenzenesulfonate, but after mercurial treatment, juglone reduction in both particles and mitochondria is more sensitive to bathophenanthroline sulfonate.Succinate dehydrogenase components are inhibited by hydrophilic orthophenanthroline or bathophenanthroline sulfonate in mitochondria only. Electron flow between the dehydrogenases of succinate and NADH occurs via a chelator-sensitive site located on the matrix face of the membrane. Inter-complex electron flow is prevented by rotenone or thenoyltrifluoroacetone. The lack of succinate-indophenol reductase inhibition by bathophenanthroline sulfonate in the presence of rotenone or thenoyltrifluoroacetone indicates that the rotenone-sensitive site may be located on the matrix face and demonstrates that electrons flow between the NADH and succinate dehydrogenases via a hydrophilic chelator and rotenone-thenoyltrifluoroacetone-sensitive site on the matrix face of the membrane. Inhibition by hydrophilic chelators only in mitochondria indicates that succinate dehydrogenase as well as NADH dehydrogenase has a transmembranous orientation.  相似文献

A study of NADH ferricyanide reductase activity in oriented vesicles or open ghosts of human and porcine erythrocytes shows that the dehydrogenase activity can have three types of orientation in the membrane. There is activity which responds only to acceptors and NADH exclusively on the inside face, or exclusively on the outer surface. There is also activity which requires exposure of both sides of the membrane and thus is transmembranous. The transmembrane activity is inhibited by insulin, whereas the internal and external enzymes do not respond to insulin. The transmembrane dehydrogenase can be a basis for proton transport in the plasma membrane.  相似文献

Two l-lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes and one dl-lactate dehydrogenase could be separated from potato tubers by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzymes are specific for lactate, while β-hydroxybutyric acid, glycolic acid, and glyoxylic acid are not oxidized. Their pH optima are pH 6.9 for the oxidation and 8.0 for the reduction reaction.The Km values for l-lactate for the two isoenzymes are 2.00 × 10?2 and 1.82 × 10?2, m. In the reverse reaction the affinities for pyruvate are 3.24 × 10?4 and 3.34 × 10?4, m. Both enzymes have similar affinities for NAD and NADH (3.00 × 10?4; 4.00 × 10?4, and 8.35 × 10?4; 5.25 × 10?4, m).The dl-lactate oxidoreductase may transfer electrons either to NAD or N-methyl-phenazinemethosulfate. The Km values of this enzyme for l-lactate are 4.5 × 10?2, m and for d-lactate 3.34 × 10?2, m. Its affinity for pyruvate is 4.75 × 10?4, m. The enzyme is inhibited by excess NAD (Km = 1.54 × 10?4, M) and has an affinity toward NADH (Km = 5.00 × 10?3, M) which is about one tenth of that of the two isoenzymes of l-lactate dehydrogenase.  相似文献
