Because the mitochondrial inner membrane is impermeable to pyridine nucleotides, transport of reducing equivalents between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm relies on shuttle mechanisms, including the malate-aspartate shuttle and the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle. These shuttles are needed for reducing equivalents generated by metabolic reactions in the cytosol to be oxidized via aerobic metabolism. Two isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) operate as components of the malate-aspartate shuttle, in which a reducing equivalent is transported via malate, which when oxidized to oxaloacetate, transfers an electron pair to reduce NAD to NADH. Several competing mechanisms have been proposed for the MDH-catalyzed reaction. This study aims to identify the pH-dependent kinetic mechanism for cytoplasmic MDH (cMDH) catalyzed oxidation/reduction of MAL/OAA. Experiments were conducted assaying the forward and reverse directions with products initially present, varying pH between 6.5 and 9.0. By fitting time-course data to various mechanisms, it is determined that an ordered bi-bi mechanism with coenzyme binding first followed by the binding of substrate is able to explain the kinetic data. The proposed mechanism is similar to, but not identical to, the mechanism recently determined for the mitochondrial isoform, mMDH. cMDH and mMDH mechanisms are also shown to both be reduced versions of a common, more complex mechanism that can explain the kinetic data for both isoforms. Comparing the simulated activity (ratio of initial velocity to the enzyme concentration) under physiological conditions, the mitochondrial MDH (mMDH) activity is predicted to be higher than cMDH activity under mitochondrial matrix conditions while the cMDH activity is higher than mMDH activity under cytoplasmic conditions, suggesting that the functions of the isoforms are kinetically tuned to their individual physiological roles. 相似文献

The genes of the mitochondrial and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (mMDH and cMDH) of Phytophthora infestans were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli as active enzymes. The catalytic properties of these proteins were determined: both enzymes have a similar specific activity. In addition, the natural mitochondrial isoenzyme was semi-purified from mycelia and its catalytic properties determined: the recombinant mitochondrial isoform behaved as the natural enzyme. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that mMDH, present in all stramenopiles studied, can be useful to study the relationships between these organisms. MDH with the conserved domain MDH_cytoplasmic_cytosolic is absent in some stramenopiles as well as in fungi. This enzyme seems to be less related within the stramenopile group. The Phytophthora cMDHs have an insertion of six amino acids that is also present in the stramenopile cMDHs studied, with the exception of Thalassiosira pseudonana cMDH, and is absent in other known eukaryotic cMDHs. 相似文献

A cDNA clone, named ppcMDH-1 and covering a part of the coding region for the porcine cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) mRNA, was isolated from a porcine liver cDNA library. Subsequently, mouse cMDH cDNA clones were isolated from mouse liver and heart cDNA libraries, using the ppcMDH-1 cDNA as a probe. The longest clone, named pmcMDH-5, was sequenced and the primary structure of the mouse cMDH deduced from its cDNA sequence showed that the mouse cMDH consists of the 334-amino acid residues. When the amino acid sequence of the mouse cMDH was compared with that of the porcine cMDH, they shared a 93% homology. On the other hand, the amino acid sequences of mouse cMDH and mitochondrial MDH (mMDH) showed about 23% overall homology. Surprisingly, comparison of the amino acid sequences among the mammalian and bacterial MDHs revealed that the homology between the mouse cMDH and thermophilic bacterial MDH, as well as the homology between the mouse mMDH and Escherichia coli MDH, markedly exceeds the intraspecies sequence homology between mMDH and cMDH from mice. 相似文献

Unlike birds and mammals, teleost fish express two paralogous isoforms (paralogues) of cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH;
EC 1.1.1.37; NAD+: malate oxidoreductase) whose evolutionary relationships to the single cMDH of tetrapods are unknown. We sequenced complementary
DNAs for both cMDHs and the mitochondrial isoform (mMDH) of the fish Sphyraena idiastes (south temperate barracuda) and compared the sequences, kinetic properties, and thermal stabilities of the three isoforms
with those of mammalian orthologues. Both fish cMDHs comprise 333 residues and have subunit masses of approximately 36 kDa.
One cytosolic isoform, cMDH-S, was significantly more heat-stable than either the other cMDH (cMDH-L) or mMDH. In contradiction
to the generally accepted model of vertebrate cMDH evolution, our phylogenetic analysis indicates that the duplication of
the fish cytosolic paralogues occurred after the divergence of the lineages leading to teleosts and tetrapods. cMDH-L and
cMDH-S differed in optimal concentrations of substrates and cofactors and apparent Michaelis–Menten constants, suggesting
that the two paralogues may play distinct physiological roles. Differences in intrinsic thermal stability among MDH paralogues
may reflect different degrees of stabilization in vivo by extrinsic stabilizers, notably protein concentration in the case
of mMDH. Thermal stabilities of porcine mMDH and cMDH-L, but not cMDH-S, were significantly increased when denaturation was
measured at a high protein (bovine serum albumin; BSA) concentration, but the BSA-induced stabilization reduced the catalytic
activity.

The evolutionary history of the malate dehydrogenase (MDH) gene family [NAD-dependent MDH; EC 1.1.1.37 and NAD(P)-dependent MDH; EC 1.1.1.82] has received much attention. MDHs have also featured extensively as electrophoretic markers in population genetics and evolutionary ecology, and in many cases, intraspecific variation in MDH has been correlated with environmental variables. However, while the amino acid residues essential for MDH function are known, no studies have examined intraspecific nucleotide variation despite evidence indicating that natural selection may be operating on this locus. This study presents two sets of degenerate oligonucleotide PCR primers to facilitate the cloning of cytosolic MDH (cMDH) and mitochondrial MDH (mMDH) from a broad range of animals (cMDH) and animals and plants (mMDH). These primers were used to obtain putative cMDH and mMDH cDNAs from the mollusc Nucella lapillus. The N. lapillus cMDH cDNA was found to encode a putative cMDH protein of 334aa and 36kDa, while the mMDH cDNA encoded a putative mature mMDH protein of 315aa and 33kDa. The putative amino acid sequences of the two compartmentalised N. lapillus MDHs are presented and compared to other known MDH sequences. 相似文献

Using the polymerase chain reaction, DNA encoding cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) has been cloned from a pig heart cDNA library. Large amounts of the enzyme (30 mg per litre of original culture) have been produced in Escherichia coli using an inducible expression vector (pKK223-3) in which the 5′-non-coding region of the gene was replaced with the tac promoter. The complete nucleotide sequence of the DNA is reported for the first time. The recombinant cMDH purified was shown to be identical to the native enzyme according to: chromatographic behaviour, isoelectric point, N-terminal amino acid sequence, and physicochemical and catalytic properties. 相似文献

During P deficiency, the increased activity of malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37) can lead to malate accumulation. Cytosolic- and nodule-enhanced MDH (cMDH and neMDH, respectively) are known isoforms, which contribute to MDH activity in root nodules. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the cMDH isoforms in nodule malate supply under P deficiency. Nodulated lupins (Lupinus angustifolius var. Tanjil) were hydroponically grown at adequate P (+P) or low P (−P). Total P concentration in nodules decreased under P deficiency, which coincided with an increase in total MDH activity. A consequence of higher MDH activity was the enhanced accumulation of malate derived from dark CO2 fixation via PEPC and not from pyruvate. Although no measurable neMDH presence could be detected via PCR, gene-specific primers detected two 1 kb amplicons of cMDH, designated LangMDH1 (corresponding to +P, HQ690186) and LangMDH2 (corresponding to −P, HQ690187), respectively. Sequencing analyses of these cMDH amplicons showed them to be 96% identical on an amino acid level. There was a high degree of diversification between proteins detected in this study and other known MDH proteins, particularly those from other leguminous plants. Enhanced malate synthesis in P-deficient nodules was achieved via increased anaplerotic CO2 fixation and subsequent higher MDH activities. Novel isoforms of cytosolic MDH may be involved, as shown by gene expression of specific genes under P deficiency. 相似文献

Since the malate-aspartate shuttle in brain has been shown to be closely linked to brain energy metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, the activity of MDH, one of the enzymes of the malateaspartate shuttle, was studied in cortical non-synaptic mitochondria (mMDH) and cytosol (cMDH) in 1–4 day, 18–20 day and 7–8 week old rats. The mean mMDH activity (nmol/min/mg protein) was 10,517±734 (mean±SEM), 8,882±241 and 10,323±561 and cMDH activity was 2,453±99, 4,673±152 and 6,821±205 in 1–4 day, 18–20 day and 7–8 week old rats, respectively. While cMDH activity increased with age (p<0.0001), mMDH activity showed no change. This study also determined if endogenous compounds, previously shown to alter malate metabolism, affected MDH activities. Lactate inhibited only cMDH activity, by a competitive mechanism. Oxaloacetate inhibited mMDH by partial non-competitive inhibition and cMDH by competitive inhibition. Alpha-ketoglutarate competitively inhibited both enzymes; however, the inhibition of mMDH activity was more pronounced than that of cMDH activity. Citrate inhibited mMDH via an uncompetitive mechanism and cMDH via a noncompetitive mechanism. The mechanisms of inhibition of mMDH and cMDH by each of the effectors were the same over the three ages. The results suggest mMDH and cMDH activities show a dissimilar developmental pattern and may be regulated differently by endogenous effectors. The greater sensitivity of mMDH, compared to cMDH, to certain effectors may be related to the dual role of mMDH in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the malate-aspartate shuttle.These data were presented in part at the meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in Atlanta, Georgia, April 1991.

Molecular properties of the glyoxysomal and mitochondrial isoenzyme of malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37; L-malate: NAD+ oxidoreductase) from watermelon cotyledons (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) were investigated, using completely purified enzyme preparations. The apparent molecular weights of the glyoxysomal and mitochondrial isoenzymes were found to be 67,000 and 74,000 respectively. Aggregation at high enzyme concentrations was observed with the glyoxysomal but not with the mitochondrial isoenzyme. Using sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis each isoenzyme was found to be composed of two polypeptide chains of identical size (33,500 and 37,000, respectively). The isoenzymes differed in their isoelectric points (gMDH: 8,92, mMDH: 5.39), rate of heat inactivation (gMDH: 1/2 at 40°C=3.0 min; mMDH: stable at 40°C; 1/2 at 60°C=4.5 min), adsorption to dextran gels at low ionic strenght, stability against alkaline conditions and their pH optima for oxaloacetate reduction (gMDH: pH 6.6, mMDH: pH 7.5). Very similar pH optima, however, were observed for L-malate oxidation (pH 9.3–9.5). The results indicate that the glyoxysomal and mitochondrial MDH of watermelon cotyledons are distinct proteins of different structural composition.Abbreviations EDTA

Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes a reversible NAD+-dependent-dehydrogenase reaction involved in central metabolism and redox homeostasis between organelle compartments. To explore the role of mitochondrial MDH (mMDH) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), knockout single and double mutants for the highly expressed mMDH1 and lower expressed mMDH2 isoforms were constructed and analyzed. A mmdh1mmdh2 mutant has no detectable mMDH activity but is viable, albeit small and slow growing. Quantitative proteome analysis of mitochondria shows changes in other mitochondrial NAD-linked dehydrogenases, indicating a reorganization of such enzymes in the mitochondrial matrix. The slow-growing mmdh1mmdh2 mutant has elevated leaf respiration rate in the dark and light, without loss of photosynthetic capacity, suggesting that mMDH normally uses NADH to reduce oxaloacetate to malate, which is then exported to the cytosol, rather than to drive mitochondrial respiration. Increased respiratory rate in leaves can account in part for the low net CO2 assimilation and slow growth rate of mmdh1mmdh2. Loss of mMDH also affects photorespiration, as evidenced by a lower postillumination burst, alterations in CO2 assimilation/intercellular CO2 curves at low CO2, and the light-dependent elevated concentration of photorespiratory metabolites. Complementation of mmdh1mmdh2 with an mMDH cDNA recovered mMDH activity, suppressed respiratory rate, ameliorated changes to photorespiration, and increased plant growth. A previously established inverse correlation between mMDH and ascorbate content in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has been consolidated in Arabidopsis and may potentially be linked to decreased galactonolactone dehydrogenase content in mitochondria in the mutant. Overall, a central yet complex role for mMDH emerges in the partitioning of carbon and energy in leaves, providing new directions for bioengineering of plant growth rate and a new insight into the molecular mechanisms linking respiration and photosynthesis in plants.Plant tissues contain multiple isoforms of malate dehydrogenase (l-malate-NAD-oxidoreductase [MDH]; EC 1.1.1.37) that catalyze the interconversion of malate and oxaloacetate (OAA) coupled to reduction or oxidation of the NAD pool. These isoforms are encoded by separate genes in plants and have been shown to possess distinct kinetic properties as well as subcellular targeting and physiological functions (Gietl, 1992). While the MDH reaction is reversible, it strongly favors the reduction of OAA. The direction of the reaction in vivo depends on substrate/product ratios and the NAD redox state, and it can vary even in the same tissue due to prevailing physiological conditions. Isoforms operate in mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and the cytosol, but due to the ready transport and utilization of malate and OAA and the availability of NAD, this reaction can cooperate across compartments and is the basis for malate/OAA shuttling of reducing equivalents in many different metabolic schemes of plant cellular function (Krömer, 1995). It is clear, however, that the exchange through the membranes is strictly controlled, since large redox differences in NAD(H) pools exist between compartments (Igamberdiev and Gardeström, 2003).The mitochondrial MDH (mMDH) is thought to operate in at least three different pathways in plants. First, it is a classical tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme that oxidizes the malate product from the fumarase reaction to OAA for the citrate synthase-dependent condensation with acetyl-CoA to form citrate. Second, it is considered to operate in the reverse direction during the conversion of Gly to Ser by reducing OAA to malate and providing a supply of NAD+ for Gly decarboxylase (Journet et al., 1981). Third, in a more specialized pathway in C4 plants, it provides a supply of CO2 for fixation in bundle sheath chloroplasts by reducing OAA (generated from Asp transported from mesophyll cells) into malate that is then decarboxylated by NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) to CO2 and pyruvate (Hatch and Osmond, 1976). Plant mitochondria can support TCA cycle activity with malate as the sole substrate due to MDH and NAD-ME, both ubiquitous in plants (Palmer, 1984). OAA is readily transported both into and out of isolated plant mitochondria (Douce and Bonner, 1972), in contrast to mammalian mitochondria, which are essentially impermeable to this organic acid.While these three mMDH schemes and metabolic schemes for other MDH isoforms are plausible, widely accepted, and consistent with a range of biochemical studies, the depletion, removal, and overexpression of specific MDH isoforms in plants have led to surprising insights into MDH roles in vivo. For example, the peroxisomal MDH (PMDH) was until recently generally considered to be involved in the synthesis of NADH for hydroxypyruvate reduction in the photorespiratory cycle and for the oxidation of NADH generated during β-oxidation of fatty acids, but its potential role in the oxidation of malate in the glyoxylate cycle was unclear. However, studies of the double knockout of PMDH in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) showed that while PMDH is essential for β-oxidation, its removal does not impair glyoxylate cycle activity (Pracharoenwattana et al., 2007) and has only a limited impact on hydroxypyruvate reduction (Cousins et al., 2008).Changes in mMDH have been reported both through the study of spontaneous mutants and the expression of antisense constructs. Spontaneous null mutants of mMDH1 in soybean (Glycine max) are linked to a yellow foliage phenotype and are associated with the removal of two of the three mMDH isoforms (Imsande et al., 2001). Expression of an antisense fragment of mMDH in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), driven by the 35S promoter, lowered mMDH protein in mitochondria, decreased total cellular MDH by approximately 60%, but had a positive impact on photosynthetic activity, CO2 assimilation rate, and total plant dry matter in long-day-grown plants (Nunes-Nesi et al., 2005). A range of carbohydrates also accumulated in the tomato antisense plants, as did redox-related compounds such as ascorbate. The increase in ascorbate content may be linked to the enhancement of photosynthesis, as ascorbate feeding to leaves can also increase photosynthetic performance (Nunes-Nesi et al., 2005). This link is not absolute, however, given that short-day-grown antisense tomato plants had stunted growth, which was potentially due to impaired photosynthesis, but still had elevated levels of ascorbate due to a higher ratio of reduction of the ascorbate pool compared with the wild type (Nunes-Nesi et al., 2008). Analysis of roots from these antisense tomato plants revealed a negative impact of mMDH loss, leading to a lower root dry weight and lower root respiratory rate (van der Merwe et al., 2009). This implies a distinct impact of mMDH loss on roots and shoots. Overexpression of cytosolic MDH led to a 4-fold elevation of root organic acids in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plants and high rates of organic acid exudation that increased aluminum tolerance through metal chelation in the soil (Tesfaye et al., 2001). These studies imply that there is a complex form of functional redundancy between MDH isoforms in different compartments, allowing MDH in separate locations to maintain specific pathways via malate/OAA shuttling, or that a range of redox requirements that have been linked to MDH in accepted metabolic schemes are incorrect and other reactions couple NAD/NADH pool homeostasis. In addition, these studies clearly show that changes in the amount of MDH isoforms can alter metabolic flux into a range of organic acids and have far-reaching effects on plant growth and development.To better understand the importance of the mMDH and to determine if plants are viable without any mMDH isoforms due either to the role of NAD-ME and/or malate/OAA shuttling to other compartments, we have constructed and analyzed mMDH mutants in Arabidopsis. A major and a minor MDH isoform exist in Arabidopsis mitochondria, evidenced by differing levels of gene expression and differing protein abundance (Lee et al., 2008). We hypothesized that if mMDH works in concert with other MDH isoforms and is responsible for the reduction of OAA to malate for export from the mitochondrion, then if we remove mMDH, not only would the loss of extramitochondrial malate and the slowing of Gly decarboxylation limit photorespiratory carbon flux, but oxidation of NADH remaining in the mitochondrion could lead to elevated leaf respiration and alteration in plant growth. We found that not only did mutants have low photorespiratory flux, but they also increased respiration and had slow growth due to lowered net CO2 assimilation. The previously established correlation between mMDH abundance, photosynthetic performance, and foliar ascorbate levels was also investigated. Elevated levels of the metabolite were found in Arabidopsis, consolidating the work done in tomato (Nunes-Nesi et al., 2005). Proteomic analyses, followed by immunodetection studies, unearthed altered abundance of the terminal enzyme of the ascorbate biosynthetic pathway, galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH), as a mechanistic element in the phenomenon linked directly to mitochondrial function. 相似文献

The malate dehydrogenases of D. melanogaster have been resolved into a cytoplasmic form (cMDH) and a mitochondrial matrix form (mMDH). Flies homozygous for allozyme variants exhibit isozymes of cMDH detected by starch gel electrophoresis and acrylamide gel isoelectric focusing. The basis of these isozymes was investigated, and the results suggest either conformational or epigenetic modification of isozymes. The probable structural gene for cMDH (Mdh-1) has been mapped genetically by allozyme variants to II-35 ± 3 and cytologically by monitoring gene dosage in segmental aneuploids to between 28D and 29F on II-L of the Drosophila salivary gland chromosome map. The structural gene for mMDH is neither identical to nor in the near chromosomal proximity of Mdh-1. Nevertheless, the two enzymes exhibit markedly similar properties with respect to (1) catalytic activity, (2) pH optima, (3) pH optimum shift in response to different ionic environments, and (4) molecular weight as determined by sucrose density gradient sedimentation.This project was supported by NIH postdoctoral research fellowship No. 6-FO2-GM-49, 633-01 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. 相似文献

The molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone induces de novo synthesis of cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) in Drosophila ovaries, but not mitochondrial MDH (mMDH). A second enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), was found to be heat shock inducible. It is known that MDH and AChE are, respectively, heat shock and 20-hydroxyecdysone inducible (see Introduction). Now it is also known that these enzymes are under dual regulation, with 20-hydroxyecdysone and heat shock being two stimuli which act either separately or in combination, to increase the specific activity of these enzymes. The response to 20-hydroxyecdysone and/or heat shock was found to occur in seven additional D. melanogaster sibling species. In this case, hormone and heat shock maximize the interspecific variability, something which could be acted by natural selection to establish physiological adaptations. 相似文献

Clines in intraspecific genetic variation are frequently associated with an environmental transition. Here, divergence among nucleotide sequences of two nuclear loci, cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (cMDH and mMDH, respectively), is described, in a multitrait cline over a distance of ca. 3 km where shell phenotype, allozyme, mitochondrial DNA haplotype, and centric fusion (Robertsonian translocations) frequencies covary with temperature and humidity and change abruptly in a continuous population of the dog-whelk (Nucella lapillus), a common intertidal snail of the north temperate Atlantic. Protein electrophoresis has already shown two alleles of mMDH varying from fixation of one allele to near fixation of the other, whereas cMDH appears to be monomorphic. The results of this study show a striking disparity in nucleotide sequence divergence among alleles at the two loci, with extreme molecular differentiation in one of them. Four alleles of cMDH were found to have nucleotide and amino acid sequence divergences of 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively. In contrast, the two mMDH cDNA alleles differed by 23% and 20% at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively. Analysis of a 91-bp partial nucleotide sequence of mMDH from Nucella freycineti, the closest relative of N. lapillus, revealed two similar alleles and indicated that the divergence in mMDH in N. lapillus represents an ancient transpecific polymorphism in these Nucella. Together with earlier studies on variation in N. lapillus, it is argued that the polymorphism in mMDH and the clines in N. lapillus represent the presence of two persistent coadapted gene complexes, multitrait coevolving genetic solutions to environmental variation, which may presently enable this snail to exploit a diverse environment successfully. 相似文献

The comparison of mitochondrial and glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) from cotyledons of germinating watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad., cv. Kleckey's Sweet No. 6) by means of serological methods and peptide patterns revealed a high degree of homology. The N-terminal sequence analysis yielded a distinct presequence of eight or nine amino-acid residues, respectively, which is followed by an almost identical stretch of at least 20 amino-acid residues. A very similar domain has been recognized for mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase from porcine heart and yeast, and for Escherichia coli malate dehydrogenase.Abbreviations gMDH

The activities of mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH) and the total mitochondrial proteins increase as a function of body mass in the freshwater catfish, Clarias batrachus. It clearly indicates an increase in energy production in larger-sized individuals for various purposes including prey-predator interactions. The higher activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in larger fish may indicate more production of lactate for gluconeogenesis in the liver to meet emergency requirements of increased energy demand. However, the activity of cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) decreases with the increasing body mass of the fish which reflects reduction in NADPH production and, in turn, reduced lipogenesis in liver of larger individuals. Thus, the present observations suggest an adaptive mechanism dealing with the higher energy budget, and reduced synthetic activities (lipogenesis) in the liver of larger-sized freshwater catfish. This type of biochemical scaling might be also supporting other metabolic pathways in order to adjust some physiological functions for survival in the aquatic environment. 相似文献

Gel exclusion chromatographic studies demonstrate that cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenases (cMDH and mMDH) dissociate into subunits in the presence of 0.1% of the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 (TX-100). The presence of cofactor and catalytically competent cofactor-substrate pairs does not protect mMDH against this dissociation. In contrast, cMDH dimers resist dissociation in the presence of either addition. Since steady state kinetic studies indicate both enzymes are fully active in the presence of 0.1% TX-100, we conclude that quaternary structure is not a kinetically important feature of mMDH structure and cooperativity does not account for mMDH kinetic anomalies. In contrast, cooperativity is a reasonable explanation for cMDH kinetic properties even in the presence of 0.1% TX-100, since this enzyme's subunits associate in the presence of active site ligands. The existence of fully active mMDH subunits raises the possibility that this species rather than the dimer may be a constituent of proposed multi-enzyme complexes of the mitochondrion. Preliminary chromatographic experiments involving gently disrupted mitochondria have found MDH activity in differently sized complexes, all with molecular weights larger than the mMDH dimer but smaller than complexes anticipated for multi-enzyme complexes involving other enzymes and the mMDH dimer. 相似文献

Three isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase have been isolated from 9-day-old wheat shoots. The microbody (peroxisome) and chloroplast MDH are similar in their electrophoretic behaviour. The mitochondrial MDH, soluble MDH and chloroplast MDH differ in Km values for malate and NAD. The activity of MDH isoenzymes with NAD+-analogues as substrate was in the order 3-AP-NAD+ > 3-AP-deam NAD+ > NAD+ > TN-NAD+ and deam NAD+. The thermal stabilities of the isoenzymes were significantly different: C-MDH > m-MDH > S-MDH. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes was studied in cotyledons of watermelons (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad., var. Stone Mountain). The glyoxysomal and mitochondrial isoenzymes are synthesized as higher molecular weight precursors which can be immunoprecipitated by mono-specific antibodies from the products of in vitro translation in reticulocyte lysates programed with cotyledonary mRNA and with the same size from enzyme extracts of pulse-labeled cotyledons. During translocation from the cytosol into the organelles, processing takes place. An 8 kilodalton extra sequence is cleaved from the glyoxysomal precursor and a 3.3 kilodalton extra sequence from the mitochondrial precursor producing the native subunits of 33 and 38 kilodaltons, respectively. The data support a post-translational translocation of the organelle-destined malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes. The in vitro translation of the cytosolic malate dehydrogenase I yields a product which has the same molecular weight as the subunit of the native isoenzyme (39.5 kilodaltons). 相似文献

Malate dehydrogenase isolated from leaves of the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum L.) appears in the form of several isoenzymes. Four of the isoenzymes found in cotton leaf extracts appear to be charge isomers with a molecular weight of approximately 60,000. A fifth malate dehydrogenase isoenzyme found in leaf extracts has a molecular weight of approximately 500,000. Under appropriate conditions it is possible to form this high molecular weight isoenzyme from at least one of the smaller isoenzymes. In addition, malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes of approximately 700,000 and 130,000 molecular weight have been observed under some conditions, although these isoenzymes do not appear in the crude cotton leaf preparations. The relationship of this heterogeneity with respect to size and to the discrepancies in the number and size of malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes reported from plant tissues may be significant. 相似文献
