Thermodynamic studies of the activation of rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase by phosphate.

ABSTRACT: In an attempt to trace the source of phosphate activation of the enzyme-catalysed pyruvate-lactate interconversion by rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase, equilibrium constants were measured to examine the effects of phosphate on interactions pertinent to the enzymic process. Frontal gel-chromatographic studies of the binding of NADH to the enzyme established that the intrinsic association constant is doubled in the presence of 50 mM-phosphate in the buffer (pH 7.4, I0.15). From kinetic studies of the competition between NAD+ and NADH for the coenzyme-binding sites of the enzyme it is concluded that the binding of oxidized nicotinamide nucleotide is also doubled in the presence of 50 mM-phosphate. Competitive-inhibition studies and fluorescence-quenching measurements indicated the lack of a phosphate effect on ternary-complex formation between enzyme-NADH complex and oxamate, a substrate analogue of pyruvate. The equilibrium constant for the interaction between enzyme-NAD+ complex and oxalate, an analogue of lactate, was also shown, by difference spectroscopy, to be insensitive to phosphate concentration. Provided that the effects observed with the substrate analogues mimic those operative in the kinetic situation, the equilibrium constant governing the isomerization of ternary complex is also independent of phosphate concentration. It is concluded that enhanced coenzyme binding is the source of phosphate activation of the rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase system.

Conformational Change and Activity Enhancement of Rabbit Muscle Lactate Dehydrogenase Induced by Polyethyleneimine.

Project description:For a better understanding on the interaction between polyethyleneimine (PEI) and proteins, spectroscopic studies including UV-vis absorption, resonance Rayleigh scattering, fluorescence, and circular dichroism were conducted to reveal the conformational change of rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase (rmLDH) and related to the bioactivity of the enzyme. Regardless of the electrostatic repulsion, PEI could bind on the surface of rmLDH, a basic protein, via hydrogen binding of the dense amine groups and hydrophobic interaction of methyl groups. The competitive binding by PEI led to a reduction of the binding efficiency of rmLDH toward β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, the coenzyme, and sodium pyruvate, the substrate. However, the complex formation with PEI induced a less ordered conformation and an enhanced surface hydrophobicity of rmLDH, facilitating the turnover of the enzyme and generally resulting in an increased activity. PEI of higher molecular weight was more efficient to induce alteration in the conformation and catalytic activity of the enzyme.

Transient-kinetic studies of pig muscle lactate dehydrogenase.

Project description:1. The very fast pre-steady-state formation of NADH catalysed by pig M(4) lactate dehydrogenase was equivalent to the enzyme-site concentration at pH values greater than 8.0 and to one-half the site concentration at pH6.8. 2. The rate of dissociation of NADH from the enzyme at pH8.0 (450s(-1)) in the absence of other substrates is faster than the steady-state oxidation of lactate (80s(-1)). The latter process is therefore controlled by a step before NADH dissociation but subsequent to the hydride transfer. 3. The oxidation of enzyme-NADH by excess of pyruvate was studied as a first-order process at pH9.0. There was no effect of NADD on this reaction and it was concluded that the ternary complex undergoes a rate-limiting change before the hydride-transfer step. 4. Some conclusions about the reactions catalysed by the M(4) isoenzyme were drawn from a comparison of these results with those obtained with the H(4) isoenzyme and liver alcohol dehydrogenase.

Purification and properties of rabbit muscle L-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Project description:A modified procedure has been developed for the purification of rabbit muscle l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The product of the preparation satisfies all criteria of homogeneity. Some physical properties of the enzyme have been re-investigated. The results suggest that previous preparations may have been contaminated with significant amounts of heavy-molecular-weight protein.

The foetal development of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from human striated muscle.

Project description:1. Human foetal skeletal muscles involved in support and in periodic contractility were studied for their content of total extractable lactate dehydrogenase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities as well as for the relative distribution of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes. 2. During foetal development a linear steady increase in total lactate dehydrogenase activity as well as a linear decrease in the H/M sub-unit ratio of the isoenzymes was found. 3. No significant changes were found in the activities of the enzymes of the hexose monophosphate shunt (C-6 oxidation). 4. The changes found suggest a steady increased synthesis of lactate dehydrogenase M-sub-units in human skeletal muscles during foetal development. 5. The weekly changes in the total lactate dehydrogenase activity and in lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes are lower in muscles involved in support than in those involved in periodic contractility. 6. These findings, together with the literature available, are consistent with the morphological fact that foetal development of skeletal muscles mostly concerns the white muscle fibres and not the red muscle fibres.

Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation.

Project description:Although normally dormant, hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) quickly become activated to divide during a new hair cycle. The quiescence of HFSCs is known to be regulated by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. Here we provide several lines of evidence to demonstrate that HFSCs utilize glycolytic metabolism and produce significantly more lactate than other cells in the epidermis. Furthermore, lactate generation appears to be critical for the activation of HFSCs as deletion of lactate dehydrogenase (Ldha) prevented their activation. Conversely, genetically promoting lactate production in HFSCs through mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (Mpc1) deletion accelerated their activation and the hair cycle. Finally, we identify small molecules that increase lactate production by stimulating Myc levels or inhibiting Mpc1 carrier activity and can topically induce the hair cycle. These data suggest that HFSCs maintain a metabolic state that allows them to remain dormant and yet quickly respond to appropriate proliferative stimuli.

Exercise Inducible Lactate Dehydrogenase B Regulates Mitochondrial Function in Skeletal Muscle.

Project description:Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate, which are critical fuel metabolites of skeletal muscle particularly during exercise. However, the physiological relevance of LDH remains poorly understood. Here we show that Ldhb expression is induced by exercise in human muscle and negatively correlated with changes in intramuscular pH levels, a marker of lactate production, during isometric exercise. We found that the expression of Ldhb is regulated by exercise-induced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α). Ldhb gene promoter reporter studies demonstrated that PGC-1α activates Ldhb gene expression through multiple conserved estrogen-related receptor (ERR) and myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) binding sites. Transgenic mice overexpressing Ldhb in muscle (muscle creatine kinase (MCK)-Ldhb) exhibited increased exercise performance and enhanced oxygen consumption during exercise. MCK-Ldhb muscle was shown to have enhanced mitochondrial enzyme activity and increased mitochondrial gene expression, suggesting an adaptive oxidative muscle transformation. In addition, mitochondrial respiration capacity was increased and lactate production decreased in MCK-Ldhb skeletal myotubes in culture. Together, these results identified a previously unrecognized Ldhb-driven alteration in muscle mitochondrial function and suggested a mechanism for the adaptive metabolic response induced by exercise training.

Lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase cooperatively regulate growth and carbohydrate metabolism during Drosophila melanogaster larval development.

Project description:The dramatic growth that occurs during Drosophila larval development requires rapid conversion of nutrients into biomass. Many larval tissues respond to these biosynthetic demands by increasing carbohydrate metabolism and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. The resulting metabolic program is ideally suited for synthesis of macromolecules and mimics the manner by which cancer cells rely on aerobic glycolysis. To explore the potential role of Drosophila LDH in promoting biosynthesis, we examined how Ldh mutations influence larval development. Our studies unexpectedly found that Ldh mutants grow at a normal rate, indicating that LDH is dispensable for larval biomass production. However, subsequent metabolomic analyses suggested that Ldh mutants compensate for the inability to produce lactate by generating excess glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), the production of which also influences larval redox balance. Consistent with this possibility, larvae lacking both LDH and G3P dehydrogenase (GPDH1) exhibit growth defects, synthetic lethality and decreased glycolytic flux. Considering that human cells also generate G3P upon inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), our findings hint at a conserved mechanism in which the coordinate regulation of lactate and G3P synthesis imparts metabolic robustness to growing animal tissues.

Mitochondrial glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase promotes skeletal muscle regeneration.

Project description:While adult mammalian skeletal muscle is stable due to its post-mitotic nature, muscle regeneration is still essential throughout life for maintaining functional fitness. During certain diseases, such as the modern pandemics of obesity and diabetes, the regeneration process becomes impaired, which leads to the loss of muscle function and contributes to the global burden of these diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of the impairment are not well defined. Here, we identify mGPDH as a critical regulator of skeletal muscle regeneration. Specifically, it regulates myogenic markers and myoblast differentiation by controlling mitochondrial biogenesis via CaMKK?/AMPK. mGPDH-/- attenuated skeletal muscle regeneration in vitro and in vivo, while mGPDH overexpression ameliorated dystrophic pathology in mdx mice. Moreover, in patients and animal models of obesity and diabetes, mGPDH expression in skeletal muscle was reduced, further suggesting a direct correlation between its abundance and muscular regeneration capability. Rescuing mGPDH expression in obese and diabetic mice led to a significant improvement in their muscle regeneration. Our study provides a potential therapeutic target for skeletal muscle regeneration impairment during obesity and diabetes.

Isolation and some properties of glycated D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle.

Project description:Glycated D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GAPDH) from rabbit muscle and human erythrocytes have been investigated. The specific activity of the non-glycated GAPDH from rabbit muscle is approx. 180 units. (One unit is defined as the specific activity required to convert 1 microM of substrate/min per mg of enzyme.) The activity of the glycated enzyme, consisting of two sugars per tetramer, is lower than that of the non-glycated GAPDH. Non-enzymic transamination of the N-termini of glycated GAPDH (gGAPDH) indicates that they are not blocked by glycation. The rate of modification of thiols (Cys-149) with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) was greater for the glycated than the non-glycated enzymes. The rate of modification of amino groups of Lys residues of gGAPDH with o-phthalaldehyde was greater for the non-glycated enzyme. In 0.18 M guanidine-HC1 solution, the emission intensity at 410 nm of a fluorescent NAD+ derivative introduced into the active site decreased to 80%, whereas that of gGAPDH decreased to 50%. This suggests that the glycated sites are near the active site; glycation of the enzyme leads to a change of the microenvironment of Cys-149, alters the conformation of the active site and decreases the activity.

Substrate Channeling via a Transient Protein-Protein Complex: The case of D-Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase and L-Lactate Dehydrogenase.

Project description:Substrate channeling studies have frequently failed to provide conclusive results due to poor understanding of this subtle phenomenon. We analyzed the mechanism of NADH-channeling from D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) to L-lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) using enzymes from different cells. Enzyme kinetics studies showed that LDH activity with free NADH and GAPDH-NADH complex always take place in parallel. The channeling is observed only in assays that mimic cytosolic conditions where free NADH concentration is negligible and the GAPDH-NADH complex is dominant. Molecular dynamics and protein-protein interaction studies showed that LDH and GAPDH can form a leaky channeling complex only at the limiting NADH concentrations. Surface calculations showed that positive electric field between the NAD(H) binding sites on LDH and GAPDH tetramers can merge in the LDH-GAPDH complex. NAD(H)-channeling within the LDH-GAPDH complex can be an extension of NAD(H)-channeling within each tetramer. In the case of a transient LDH-(GAPDH-NADH) complex, the relative contribution from the channeled and the diffusive paths depends on the overlap between the off-rates for the LDH-(GAPDH-NADH) complex and the GAPDH-NADH complex. Molecular evolution or metabolic engineering protocols can exploit substrate channeling for metabolic flux control by fine-tuning substrate-binding affinity for the key enzymes in the competing reaction paths.
