Incorporation of injected [32P] phosphate into the phosphoinositides of subcellular fractions from young rat brain.

ABSTRACT: 1. Six subcellular fractions were prepared from the brain of 3-week-old rats after the injection of [(32)P]orthophosphate into the subarachnoidal space. The fractions were characterized by chemical and enzymic determinations and by electron microscopy. 2. The highest concentration of phosphoinositides was found in the microsomal fraction. 3. After an exchange period of 4hr. in vivo, the specific radioactivity of phosphatidylinositol was high in the nuclear, mitochondrial and supernatant fractions, and that of diphosphoinositide was high in the nuclear, microsomal and supernatant fractions. Triphosphoinositide specific activity was highest in the myelin fraction. 4. Specific activities (counts/100sec./mug. of P) were in the following order for all fractions except myelin: diphosphoinositide>phosphatidylinositol>triphosphoinositide. For myelin the order was: diphosphoinositide>triphosphoinositide>phosphatidylinositol. 5. Phosphatidylinositol extracted from a tissue fraction by acidified chloroform-methanol had roughly twice the specific activity of that extracted by neutral solvents. The same applied to diphosphoinositide.

Benoxacor is enantioselectively metabolized by rat liver subcellular fractions.

Project description:This study investigated the enantioselective metabolism of benoxacor, an ingredient of herbicide formulations, in microsomes or cytosol prepared from female or male rat livers. Benoxacor was incubated for ≤30 min with microsomes or cytosol, and its enantioselective depletion was measured using gas chromatographic methods. Benoxacor was depleted in incubations with active microsomes in the presence and absence of NADPH, suggesting its metabolism by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) and microsomal carboxylesterases (CESs). Benoxacor was depleted in cytosolic incubations in the presence of glutathione, consistent with its metabolism by glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). The depletion of benoxacor was faster in incubations with cytosol from male than female rats, whereas no statistically significant sex differences were observed in microsomal incubations. The consumption of benoxacor was inhibited by the CYP inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole, the CES inhibitor benzil, and the GST inhibitor ethacrynic acid. Estimates of the intrinsic clearance of benoxacor suggest that CYPs are the primary metabolic enzyme responsible for benoxacor metabolism in rats. Microsomal incubations showed an enrichment of the first eluting benoxacor enantiomer (E1-benoxacor). A greater enrichment occurred in incubations with microsomes from female (EF = 0.67 ± 0.01) than male rats (EF = 0.60 ± 0.01). Cytosolic incubations from female rats resulted in enrichment of E1-benoxacor (EF = 0.54 ± 0.01), while cytosolic incubations from male rats displayed enrichment of the second eluting enantiomer (E2-benoxacor; EF = 0.43 ± 0.01). Sex-dependent differences in the metabolism of benoxacor in rats could significantly impact ecological risks and mammalian toxicity. Moreover, changes in the enantiomeric enrichment of benoxacor may be a powerful tool for environmental fate and transport studies.

Incorporation of [32P]phosphate into the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in rat heart mitochondria.

Project description:1. Evidence is given for three sites of phosphorylation in the alpha-chains of the decarboxylase component of purified rat heart pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, analogous to those established for procine and bovine complexes. Inactivation of rat heart complex was correlated with phosphorylation of site 1. Relative initial rates of phosphorylation were site 1 greater than site 2 greater than site 3. 2. Methods are described for measurement of incorporation of 32Pi into the complex in rat heart mitochondria oxidizing 2-oxoglutarate + L-malate (total, sites 1, 2 and 3). Inactivation of the complex was related linearly to phosphorylation of site 1 in mitochondria of normal or diabetic rats. The relative initial rates of phosphorylation were site 1 greater than site 2 greater than site 3. Rates of site-2 and site-3 phosphorylation may have been closer to that of site 1 in mitochondria of diabetic rats than in mitochondria of normal rats. 3. The concentration of inactive (phosphorylated) complex was varied in mitochondria from normal rats by inhibiting the kinase reaction with pyruvate at concentrations ranging from 0.15 to 0.4 mM. The results showed that the concentration of inactive complex is related linearly to incorporation of 32Pi into site 1. Inhibition of 32Pi incorporations with pyruvate at all concentrations over this range was site 3 greater than site 2 greater than site 1. 4. With mitochondria from diabetic rats, pyruvate (0.15-0.4 mM) inhibited incorporation of 32Pi into site 3, but it had no effect on the concentration of inactive complex or on incorporations of 32Pi into site 1 or site 2. It is concluded that site-3 phosphorylation is not required for inactivation of the complex in rat heart mitochondria. 5. Evidence is given that phosphorylation of sites 2 and 3 may inhibit reactivation of the complex by dephosphorylation in rat heart mitochondria.

The lipid composition of rat brain myelin and subcellular fractions during development.

Project description:1. The lipids of whole brain and subcellular fractions of the rat were analysed during development. 2. The deposition of cholesterol occurred in two phases, one related to increasing wet weight of the brain and the second to myelination. Cerebroside accumulation was related only to myelination. 3. The composition of myelin isolated from 12-day-old rat brain was different in some respects from that of the adult. In the former there was an increase of phospholipid in relation to cholesterol and a marked deficiency in cerebroside. 4. It is suggested that early myelin is extruded glial plasma membrane, which only later becomes mature myelin.

Studies on the incorporation of [32P]phosphate into pyruvate dehydrogenase in intact rat fat-cells. Effects of insulin.

Project description:1. Intact rat epididymal fat-cells were incubated with 32Pi, and the intracellular proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. One of the separated bands of phosphorylated proteins had an apparent subunit mol.wt. of 42 000, which is the same as that of the alpha-subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. By using a combination of subcellular fractionation, immunoprecipitation with antiserum raised against pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and two-dimensional electrophoresis it was apparent that the incorporation into alpha-subunits accounted for 35--45% of the total incorporation into this band of phosphoproteins. 2. The increase in the initial activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase that follows brief exposure of fat-cells to insulin was shown to be associated with a decrease in the steady-state incorporation of 32P into the alpha-subunits of pyruvate dehydrogenase. 3. Tryptic peptide analysis of pyruvate dehydrogenase [32P]phosphate, labelled in intact fat-cells, indicated that three serine residues on the alpha-subunit were phosphorylated, corresponding to the three sites phosphorylated when purified pig heart pyruvate dehydrogenase was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. The relative phosphorylation of all three serine residues appeared to be similar in 32P-labelled alpha-subunits in both control and insulin-treated fat-cells.

The effects of polyuridylic acid on phenylalanine incorporation by subcellular fractions from carbon tetrachloride-poisoned rat liver.

Project description:1. Ribosomes and microsomes isolated from the livers of rats that had received carbon tetrachloride 1hr. previously had decreased endogenous capacity to incorporate amino acid. 2. The capacity of the isolated structures to respond to a synthetic messenger, polyuridylic acid, and to incorporate phenylalanine was investigated. 3. It was found that ribosomes from carbon tetrachloride-treated animals, prepared with detergent and at high ionic strength, could be restored to the same specific activity as control particles with polyuridylic acid but that these particles required more Mg(2+) in the incubation mixture. 4. Microsomes could also be stimulated to control activities with polyuridylic acid, but had a narrow optimum range of Mg(2+) concentration. 5. Microsomes prepared from poisoned animals could be preprogrammed with polyuridylic acid to a significantly greater degree than could control particles, and this response was greater with increasing Mg(2+) concentrations. These data suggested that in carbon tetrachloride poisoning the messenger-ribosome interaction had been altered. 6. Attempts to deprogramme particles from control and treated animals resulted in decreased endogenous activity of both particles and a decreased capacity for the treated particles to be restored with the synthetic messenger. 7. It is suggested that two effects are present in carbon tetrachloride poisoning, namely an alteration of the messenger-ribosome interaction and an increased lability of the ribosome, as either separate or related events.

The distribution of protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid in subcellular fractions of rat brain.

Project description:Protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid and hexosamine, including the sialomucopolysaccharides, occur mainly in the least dense particles sedimented in the microsomal fraction from rat whole brain. Particles rich in protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid and hexosamine are also found in the subcellular fraction separated as a layer between 0.8m- and 1.2m-sucrose after centrifuging the crude mitochondrial preparation in a density gradient. This distribution is similar to that of the gangliosides and suggests an association of all of these substances in the same subcellular structures. It is postulated that the sialomucopolysaccharides, as well as the gangliosides, are components of cell membranes. Evidence is presented that indicates that there are quantitative differences between distribution of the gangliosides on the one hand, and protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid and hexosamine on the other. The ratio of protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid (and hexosamine) to gangliosidic N-acetylneuraminic acid (and hexosamine) present in individual subcellular fractions obtained by density-gradient centrifugation tends to increase with increasing particle density. Exposure of the crude mitochondrial fraction to osmotic ;shock' before density-gradient centrifugation causes a shift of the protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid and gangliosides to the less dense fractions. In some experiments, a selective shift of the protein-bound N-acetylneuraminic acid was observed.

Enzyme activity and composition of myelin and subcellular fractions in the developing rat brain.

Project description:1. Subcellular fractions and myelin were isolated from developing and adult rat brain. 2. Measurements of chemical composition and enzyme activities indicate the presence of a second myelin-like fraction mainly in the brain of developing rats. 3. This membrane fraction has a different lipid composition from myelin, but resembles myelin in its content of phosphohydrolase and aminopeptidase activity. 4. It is suggested that the second myelin-like fraction may be a submicrosomal contaminant or it may be derived from oligodendroglial plasma membrane during myelinogenesis.

Extracellular Matrix Changes in Subcellular Brain Fractions and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Alzheimer's Disease Patients.

Project description:The brain's extracellular matrix (ECM) is assumed to undergo rearrangements in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we investigated changes of key components of the hyaluronan-based ECM in independent samples of post-mortem brains (N = 19), cerebrospinal fluids (CSF; N = 70), and RNAseq data (N = 107; from The Aging, Dementia and TBI Study) of AD patients and non-demented controls. Group comparisons and correlation analyses of major ECM components in soluble and synaptosomal fractions from frontal, temporal cortex, and hippocampus of control, low-grade, and high-grade AD brains revealed a reduction in brevican in temporal cortex soluble and frontal cortex synaptosomal fractions in AD. In contrast, neurocan, aggrecan and the link protein HAPLN1 were up-regulated in soluble cortical fractions. In comparison, RNAseq data showed no correlation between aggrecan and brevican expression levels and Braak or CERAD stages, but for hippocampal expression of HAPLN1, neurocan and the brevican-interaction partner tenascin-R negative correlations with Braak stages were detected. CSF levels of brevican and neurocan in patients positively correlated with age, total tau, p-Tau, neurofilament-L and Aβ1-40. Negative correlations were detected with the Aβ ratio and the IgG index. Altogether, our study reveals spatially segregated molecular rearrangements of the ECM in AD brains at RNA or protein levels, which may contribute to the pathogenic process.

Binding of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-di-p-chlorophenylethane (DDT) with subcellular fractions of rat brain.

Project description:DDT (1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-di-p-chlorophenylethane) and DDE (1,1-dichloro-2,2-di-p-chlorophenylethylene, a non-insecticidal analogue of DDT) were found to bind with various nerve components of rat brain. The amount of DDT binding exceeded that of DDE only in the fraction containing mainly the nerve endings. Among various components in the nerve-ending fraction, a subfraction containing mainly the pre- and post-synaptic complexes had the highest affinity for DDT in comparison with that for DDE. By using an ;acetone-powdering' technique on brain preparations, the Sephadex-column method was shown to provide reliable results for studies on the binding of DDT or DDE with soluble proteins in the nerve tissues. From these results it was concluded that DDE had a higher affinity for soluble components of the rat brain than did DDT.
