Changes in the levels of isocitrate lyase, malate synthase, catalase, fumarase, and NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase have been investigated during larval development of the free-living soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in the presence and absence of Escherichia coli. The specific activities of isocitrate lyase, malate synthase, and catalase are maximal at the time of egg hatching and, thereafter, decline during larval development when larvae feed on E. coli, whereas in the absence of E. coli specific activities of the same enzymes increase for 12 hr and subsequently remain constant. There is, however, no change in specific activity of fumarase or NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase during the same developmental period, in either case. Cycloheximide at 100 μM arrests the decline of isocitrate lyase during development of feeding larvae but has no effect upon the appearance of isocitrate lyase during starvation. The latter is true also for 15 mM itaconate. There is inactivation of isocitrate lyase in crude extracts of frozen worms in comparison to that in analogous extracts prepared from freshly harvested nematodes. 相似文献

It is well known that proteolysis often occurs after rupture of metazoan cells. Thus proteins isolated from extracts may not be representative of their native cellular counterparts. In the present research, extensive proteolysis was observed in crude extracts of the freeliving soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the parasitic nematode Ascaris suum. Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) reduced the loss in activity of isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1), fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2), and citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7) in extracts of C. elegans but had little or no effect upon loss of malate synthase (EC 4.1.3.2). Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) was stable. The loss of isocitrate lyase and citrate synthase was less pronounced in extracts of 22-day-old embryos of A. suum. Catalase decayed in these extracts. The addition of PMSF reduced the loss in all three of these activities. Fumarase was stable. The number of active fragments of isocitrate lyase recovered after filtration on Sephadex G-200 increased with the length of storage of crude extracts in the absence of PMSF at 4 C. Even in the presence of PMSF five activity peaks were observed after storage of extracts of C. elegans at 4 C for 72 hr. The molecular weights of active species ranged between 549,000 and 128,000 for isocitrate lyase in extracts of either C. elegans or A. suum. The 549,000- and 214,000-dalton species of isocitrate lyase from A. suum were much more labile at 50 C than the 543,000- and 195,000-dalton species from C. elegans. 相似文献

The key enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase, were present in cell-free extracts of the phototrophic, green, thermophilic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus grown with acetate as the sole organic carbon source.The optimum temperature of these enzymes was 40° C, and their specific activities were high enough to account for the observed growth rate. Lower levels of the enzymes were found in extracts from cells grown on a complete medium.Itaconate was shown to inhibit isocitrate lyase from C. aurantiacus 96% at a concentration of 0.25 mM and also had a profound effect on the growth of the organism on acetate, 0.25 mM inhibiting completely. Itaconate also inhibited the growth when added to the complex medium, but in this case much higher concentrations were required. 相似文献

Changes in levels of isocitrate lyase, malate synthase, and catalase have been investigated during germination of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) in the presence and absence of itaconate. Germination was accompanied by a rapid increase in these enzymes during the first 3 days. The presence of 38 millimolar itaconate inhibited the incidence of seed germination and the growth of embryo axes as well as the appearance of isocitrate lyase but did not alter the levels of malate synthase, catalase, or NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase. The specific activity for the latter enzyme was constant throughout germination. Oxalate or succinate, each at 38 millimolar, had no effect upon germination of flax seeds. Itaconate did not inhibit the activities of malate synthase, catalase, or NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase in vitro but was a potent noncompetitive inhibitor of isocitrate lyase (Ki:17 micromolar at 30 C, pH 7.6). Itaconate (at 38 millimolar) did not alter the appearance of malate synthase but reduced the incidence of germination, onset of germination, and growth of the embryo axis as well as the specific activity of isocitrate lyase in seedlings of Zea mays, Vigna glabra, Glycine hispida, Vigna sinensis, Trigonella foenumgraecum, Lens culinaris, and Medicago sativa. The incidence and onset of germination of wheat seeds were unaltered by the same concentration of itaconate but seedlings did not contain isocitrate lyase or malate synthase. The data suggest that itaconate may be isocitrate lyase-directed in inhibiting the germination of fatty seeds. 相似文献

The metabolic fate of acetate, produced during taurine catabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa TAU-5, appear to involve the glyoxylate cycle. Organisms grown on taurine have significantly higher levels of malate synthetase and isocitrate lyase than cells grown on nutrient broth, but were comparable to the levels found in acetate-grown organisms. Itaconate, an isocitrate lyase inhibitor, produced a prolonged lag phase and reduced the growth rate of organisms when it was present in the taurine or acetate growth medium. Ethylmethanesulfonate treatment of TAU-5 yielded mutant strains unable to grow on taurine or acetate as sole carbon sources, due to a lack of either malate synthetase or isocitrate lyase. Spontaneous revertants derived from these mutant strains regained the missing enzyme activity and the ability to grow on taurine or acetate. 相似文献

The effect of the inhibitor itaconate on the activity of purified isocitrate lyase from Pseudomonas indigofera was examined for the reaction in both directions. Itaconate was found to equilibrate very slowly with its enzyme-bound form, so that a rapid change in itaconate concentration produced a gradual change in reaction velocity which eventually reached a new steady state. Kinetic studies of this relaxation phenomenon indicated that itaconate inhibited by binding the enzyme only after prior binding of glyoxylate, thus mimicking the kinetic behavior of succinate. On the basis of these studies, the dissociation constants for itaconate and glyoxylate from their respective enzyme-bound forms were calculated. More than half of the isocitrate lyase was complexed by glyoxylate during cleavage of saturating isocitrate. The rate constant for release of itaconate from the enzyme was calculated to be about 0.2 min?1. Direct binding of [14C]itaconate and [14C]succinate to isocitrate lyase at pH 6.8 was measured. Some binding of both ligands was found in the absence of glyoxylate, which was stimulated by the presence of 1 mm glyoxylate. These results suggest that there are up to three or more binding sites per active subunit, but that only one of these is catalytic. 相似文献

Bradyrhizobium japonicum, the nitrogen-fixing symbiotic partner of soybean, was grown on various carbon substrates and assayed for the presence of
the glyoxylate cycle enzymes, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase. The highest levels of isocitrate lyase [165–170 nmol min–1 (mg protein)–1] were found in cells grown on acetate or β-hydroxybutyrate, intermediate activity was found after growth on pyruvate or galactose,
and very little activity was found in cells grown on arabinose, malate, or glycerol. Malate synthase activity was present
in arabinose- and malate-grown cultures and increased by only 50–80% when cells were grown on acetate. B. japonicum bacteroids, harvested at four different nodule ages, showed very little isocitrate lyase activity, implying that a complete
glyoxylate cycle is not functional during symbiosis. The apparent K
m of isocitrate lyase for d,l-isocitrate was fourfold higher than that of isocitrate dehydrogenase (61.5 and 15.5 μM, respectively) in desalted crude extracts
from acetate-grown B. japonicum. When isocitrate lyase was induced, neither the V
max nor the d,l-isocitrate K
m of isocitrate dehydrogenase changed, implying that isocitrate dehydrogenase is not inhibited by covalent modification to
facilitate operation of the glyoxylate cycle in B. japonicum.

Bahamaolide A, a new macrocyclic lactone isolated from the culture of marine actinomycete Streptomyces sp. CNQ343, was evaluated for its inhibitory activity toward isocitrate lyase (ICL) from Candida albicans. These studies led to the identification of bahamaolide A as a potent ICL inhibitor with IC50 value of 11.82 μM. The growth phenotype of ICL deletion mutants and quantitative RT-PCR analyses indicated that this compound inhibits the ICL mRNA expression in C. albicans under C2-carbon-utilizing conditions. The present data highlight the potential for bahamaolide A treatment of C. albicans infections via inhibition of ICL activity. 相似文献

When acetate-adapted cultures of Chlorella fusca were transferred to nitrogen-free medium containing glucose, isocitrate lyase activity was lost over a period of about 25 h. Using a combination of in vivo isotope labelling and immunoprecipitation with anti-isocitrate lyase IgG it was shown that: 1. The onset of loss of enzyme activity preceeded the complete cessation of enzyme synthesis. 2. Disappearance of isocitrate lyase activity was accompanied by loss of enzyme protein, without accumulation of antigenic protein distinguishable from the normal subunit polypeptide of the enzyme, as judged by SDS gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitated samples from supernatant cell-free extracts. 3. SDS gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitated isocitrate lyase revealed the presence of antigenic protein bands of Mr about twice that of the normal subunit polypeptide, but the appearance of these apparent dimer forms did not obviously correlate with enzyme degradation. 4. Isoelectric focusing of immunoprecipitated isocitrate lyase showed that the enzyme became progressively more oxidised during the period of its degradation in vivo. 5. By titrating crude broken cell suspensions with anti-isocitrate lyase antibody, preliminary evidence was obtained for transfer of the enzyme from the soluble fraction to an insoluble form as part of the process of disappearance. 相似文献

Tris-aromatic furanones (1?4) and related bis-aromatic diesters (5 and 6) isolated from the dark red ascidian Synoicum sp., were evaluated for their inhibitory activities toward Candida albicans isocitrate lyase (ICL). These studies led to the identification of compounds 1, 3, and 4 as potent ICL inhibitors, with IC50 values of 7.62, 17.16, and 10.36 μM, respectively. Growth phenotype of ICL deletion mutants and Northern blot analysis data indicated that compound 1 inhibits the ICL expression in C. albicans under C2 carbon utilizing condition. 相似文献

Isocitrate lyase was partially purified from germinating spores of the fern Anemia phyllitidis. The enzyme requires Mg2+ and thiol compounds for maximal activity and has a pH optimum between 6.5 and 7.5. The Km of the enzyme for threo-Δs-isocitrate is 0.5 mM. Succinate inhibits the enzyme non-competitively (Ki. 1.8 mM). The increase of isocitrate lyase activity is closely correlated with the induction of the germination process. The fall of enzyme activity during germination is associated with the decline in triglyceride reserves. 相似文献

Enzymes catalyzing steps from ethanol to acetyl-coenzyme A, from malate to pyruvate, and from pyruvate to glucose 6-phosphate were identified in ethanol-grown Pseudomonas indigofera. Enzymes catalyzing the catabolism of glucose to pyruvate via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway were identified in glucose-grown cells. Phosphofructokinase could not be detected in Pseudomonas indigofera. Itaconate, a potent inhibitor of isocitrate lyase, abolished growth of P. indigofera on ethanol at concentrations that had little effect upon growth on glucose. The date obtained through enzyme analyses and studies of itaconate inhibition with both extracts and toluene-treated cells suggest that itaconate selectively inhibits and reduces the specific activity of isocitrate lyase. 相似文献

A reversible carbon catabolite inactivation step is described for isocitrate lyase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This reversible inactivation step of isocitrate lyase is similar to that described for fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. Addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol, nystatin or glucose to cultures, grown in ethanol as carbon source, caused a rapid loss of the isocitrate lyase and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase activities at pH 5.5 but not at pH 7.5. These results suggest that intracellular acidification and thus a cAMP increase is involved in the catabolite inactivation mechanism of both enzymes. From results obtained by addition of glucose to yeast cultures at pH 7.5 it was concluded that others factors than cAMP can play a role in the catabolite inactivation mechanism of both enzymes. 相似文献

The glyoxylate cycle enzyme, isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1) was purified from cotyledons of Citrullus vulgaris (watermelon). The final preparation, which had been 97-fold purified with a specific activity of 16.1 units/mg protein in a yield of 36%, was homogeneous by gel- and immunoelectrophoretic criteria. The tetrameric enzyme had: a molecular weight of 277 000, a sedimentation coefficient of 12.4 s, and a Km for Ds-isocitrate equal to 0.25 mM. Isocitrate lyase from this source is not a glycoprotein as shown by total carbohydrate content after precipitation by trichloroacetic acid of the purified enzyme. Reduction of the enzyme with thiols increased activity and maximal activity was obtained with at least 5 mM dithiothreitol. EDTA partially substituted for thiol in freshly isolated enzyme. Watermelon isocitrate lyase was also protected against thermal denaturation at 60° for at least 1 hr by 5 mM Mg2+ plus 5 mM oxalate. Oxalate was a competitive inhibitor with respect to isocitrate (Ki: 1.5 μM, pH 7.5, 30°). 相似文献

The succinate analog itaconic acid was observed to be a competitive inhibitor of the glyoxylate cycle specific enzyme isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1) in cell-free extracts of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Itaconic acid also inhibited net in vivo glycogen synthesis from glyoxylate cycle-dependent precursors such as acetate but not from glyoxylate cycle-independent precursors such as fructose. The effect of itaconic acid on the incorporation of 14C into glycogen from various 14C-labeled precursors was also consistent with inhibition of isocitrate lyase by this compound. Another analog of succinate which shares a common metabolic fate with itaconic acid, mesaconic acid, had no effect on isocitrate lyase activity in vitro or on 14C-labeled precursor incorporation into glycogen in vivo. In addition, itaconic acid did not affect gluconeogenesis from lactate in isolated perfused rat livers, a system lacking the enzyme isocitrate lyase. These results are taken as evidence that itaconic acid is an inhibitor of glyoxylate cycle-dependent glyconeogenesis Tetrahymena pyriformis via specific competitive inhibition of isocitrate lyase activity. 相似文献

The synthesis of isocitrate lyase was induced by the presence of ethanol in the chemostat reaching a specific activity of 200 mU·mg-1 at this induced state. In glucoselimited, derepressed cells, 20 mU·mg-1 were detected and under repressed conditions isocitrate lyase activity was not detected.The sensitivity of gluconeogenic enzymes: cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase; fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and isocitrate lyase as well as the mitochondrial enzymes NADH dehydrogenase and succinate cytochrome c oxidase to glucose and galactose repression were studied in chemostat cultures. Our results show that galactose was less effective as a repressor than glucose. Malate dehydrogenase was completely inactivated by glucose, whereas galactose only produced a 78% decrease of specific activity. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and isocitrate lyase were completely inactivated by both sugars but at different rate. Glucose produced an 85% decrease of specific activity of the mitochondrial enzymes whereas galactose only decrease an 67%. 相似文献

Gibberellic acid (GA3) stimulates isocitrate lyase activity of the endosperm during germination of castor bean seeds. Isocitrate lyase from castor bean was purified and an antibody to it was prepared from rabbit serum. This antibody was used to measure the amounts of isocitrate lyase-mRNA using an in vitro translation system. No specific stimulation of isocitrate lyase-mRNA by application of GA3 was detected. The stimulation of isocitrate lyase activity by exogenous GA3 may be accounted for by the action of the growth substance in advancing the overall production of rRNA and mRNA which accelerates the rate of total protein synthesis during germination. The application of Amo 1618 retards the production of isocitrate lyase activity but also retards protein synthesis in general. This suggests that endogenous gibberellins also act non-specifically in the regulation of protein synthesis during castor bean germination.Abbreviations SDS

Chlorella fusca cultures growing in the light and adapting to acetate in the dark were labelled with adenine-3H and adenine-14C, respectively. Poly(A)-containing RNA from the mixed cultures was analysed for 14C/3H ratio after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 98% formamide. The RNA from acetateadapting C. fusca cells contained excess label migrating in the gels at a position equivalent to about 0.85×106 mol.wt. Partially purified anti-isocitrate lyase serum linked to p-aminobenzoyl-cellulose bound 3.5–13% of polysomes from acetate-adapting C. fusca, containing 5–10% of polysomal poly(A)-containing RNA. The antibody-bound poly(A)-containing RNA fraction showed a unimodal size distribution with a mean size of about 0.85×106 mol.wt. after electrophoresis on 4% polyacrylamide gels in 98% formamide. Cell-free translation assays showed a three-fold enrichment of isocitrate lyase mRNA after antibody selection of polysomes and indicated that isocitrate lyase mRNA was abundant in acetate-adapting C. fusca cells.Abbreviations

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia pestis, and many other bacteria are able to utilize the C5-dicarboxylic acid itaconate (methylenesuccinate). Itaconate degradation starts with its activation to itaconyl coenzyme A (itaconyl-CoA), which is further hydrated to (S)-citramalyl-CoA, and citramalyl-CoA is finally cleaved into acetyl-CoA and pyruvate. The xenobiotic-degrading betaproteobacterium Burkholderia xenovorans possesses a P. aeruginosa-like itaconate degradation gene cluster and is able to grow on itaconate and its isomer mesaconate (methylfumarate). Although itaconate degradation proceeds in B. xenovorans in the same way as in P. aeruginosa, the pathway of mesaconate utilization is not known. Here, we show that mesaconate is metabolized through its hydration to (S)-citramalate. The latter compound is then metabolized to acetyl-CoA and pyruvate with the participation of two enzymes of the itaconate degradation pathway, a promiscuous itaconate-CoA transferase able to activate (S)-citramalate in addition to itaconate and (S)-citramalyl-CoA lyase. The first reaction of the pathway, the mesaconate hydratase (mesaconase) reaction, is catalyzed by a class I fumarase. As this enzyme (Bxe_A3136) has similar efficiencies (kcat/Km) for both fumarate and mesaconate hydration, we conclude that B. xenovorans class I fumarase is in fact a promiscuous fumarase/mesaconase. This promiscuity is physiologically relevant, as it allows the growth of this bacterium on mesaconate as a sole carbon and energy source. 相似文献

Isocitrate lyase (threo-ds-isocitrate glyoxylate-lyase, EC 4.1.3.1) was purified from cotyledons of Lupinus seedlings. The final preparation showed two bands after polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH using phosphate, Tris or imidazole buffer was at pH 7.5; with triethanolamine (TRA) it was at pH 7. The enzyme required Mg2+ for maximal activity, and N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) inactivated the enzyme. Activity was increased by incubation with the reducing agents, glutathione (GSH), acetylcysteine (acetylcys), dithionite (Na2S2O4), thioglycolate (TG) or 1,4-dithioerythritol (DTE). Na2S2O4 and DTE were the most active among the tested substances and DTE prevented much of the inactivation by NEM. The apparent Km value for isocitrate was ca 1 mM in phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 or 7.5 but was substantially lower (0.1–0.2 mM) using Tris, TRA or imidazole buffers. Glyoxylate, oxalate and malonate were competitive inhibitors of the enzyme. Synthase activity of the enzyme (i.e. formation of isocitrate from succinate and glyoxylate) was demonstrated. The Km values for glyoxylate and succinate were 0.05 and 0.2 mM, respectively. The addition of glyoxylate to the culture medium in which Lupinus seeds germinate resulted in a reduced development of isocitrate lyase activity during germination. 相似文献
