چکیده

1. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was isolated and partially purified from a thermophilic fungus, Penicillium duponti, and a mesophilic fungus, Penicillium notatum. 2. The molecular weight of the P. duponti enzyme was found to be 120000+/-10000 by gelfiltration and sucrose-density-gradient-centrifugation techniques. No NADP(+)- or glucose 6-phosphate-induced change in molecular weight could be demonstrated. 3. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from the thermophilic fungus was more heat-stable than that from the mesophile. Glucose 6-phosphate, but not NADP(+), protected the enzyme from both the thermophile and the mesophile from thermal inactivation. 4. The K(m) values determined for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase from the thermophile P. duponti were 4.3x10(-5)m-NADP(+) and 1.6x10(-4)m-glucose 6-phosphate; for the enzyme from the mesophile P. notatum the values were 6.2x10(-5)m-NADP(+) and 2.5x10(-4)m-glucose 6-phosphate. 5. Inhibition by NADPH was competitive with respect to both NADP(+) and glucose 6-phosphate for both the P. duponti and P. notatum enzymes. The inhibition pattern indicated a rapid-equilibrium random mechanism, which may or may not involve a dead-end enzyme-NADP(+)-6-phosphogluconolactone complex; however, a compulsory-order mechanism that is consistent with all the results is proposed. 6. The activation energies for the P. duponti and P. notatum glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenases were 40.2 and 41.4kJ.mol(-1) (9.6 and 9.9kcal.mol(-1)) respectively. 7. Palmitoyl-CoA inhibited P. duponti glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and gave an inhibition constant of 5x10(-6)m. 8. Penicillium glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase had a high degree of substrate and coenzyme specificity.

Purification and Properties of D-glucose-~-phosphate Dehydrogenase*

n-Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Zwischenferment) was discovered by Warburg and Christian in 1931 (1, 2). An active preparation was obtained then from horse erythrocytes and in 1932 from the Lebedev juice made from brewers’ yeast (3). Because of its extreme specificity, this enzyme has become an important analytical tool. Various preparations of it have been described, the first being those...

Protective Effect of Quercetin on Oxidative Stress in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase-Deficient Erythrocytes in Vitro

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient subjects are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Quercetin, a flavonoids, has been employed as a potent oxygen-free radical scavenger in order to assess the protective effects of quercetin against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in G6PD-deficient and normal human erythrocytes. Erythrocytes of G6PD-deficient (n = 10) and normal (n = 10) subjects were ...
