Asparagusate dehydrogenases and lipoyl dehydrogenase from asparagus mitochondria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Lipoyl dehydrogenase (NADH: lipoamide oxidoreductase, ED 1.6.4.3) and two asparagusate dehydrogenases from asparagus mitochondria were purified by a series of steps, freezing and thawing, sodium dodecylsulfate extraction, and chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and DEAE-cellulose. 2. Lipoyl dehydrogenase was highly specific for alpha-lipoic acid, which could not be replaced at all by asparagusic acid. Each of the asparagusate dehydrogenases was capable of reducing both asparagusic and alpha-lipoic acids by using NADH as hydrogen donor. 3. Reduction of alpha-lipoic cid with NADH by lipoyl dehydrogenase was activated by NAD, but that of asparagusic acid by asparagusate dehydrogenase was inactivated by NAD. 4. Lipoyl dehydrogenase and two asparagusate dehydrogenases differed in electrophoretic mobility on polyacrylamide gels.

The activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDC), which catalyses the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA within the mitochondrion, is diminished in animal models of diabetes. Studies with purified PDC components have suggested that the kinases responsible for inactivating the decarboxylase catalytic subunits of the complex are most efficient in their regulatory role when th...
متن کاملProtein-protein interactions in assembly of lipoic acid on the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases of aerobic metabolism.
Lipoic acid is a covalently attached cofactor essential for the activity of 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases and the glycine cleavage system. In the absence of lipoic acid modification, the dehydrogenases are inactive, and aerobic metabolism is blocked. In Escherichia coli, two pathways for the attachment of lipoic acid exist, a de novo biosynthetic pathway dependent on the activities of the LipB and L...

In an earlier study (S. W. Jordan and J. E. Cronan, Jr., J. Biol. Chem. 272:17903-17906, 1997) we reported a new enzyme, lipoyl-[acyl carrier protein]-protein N-lipoyltransferase, in Escherichia coli and mitochondria that transfers lipoic acid from lipoyl-acyl carrier protein to the lipoyl domains of pyruvate dehydrogenase. It was also shown that E. coli lipB mutants lack this enzyme activity, ...
متن کاملAn improved spectrophotometric assay of pyruvate dehydrogenase in lactate dehydrogenase contaminated mitochondrial preparations from human skeletal muscle.
In mitochondria-enriched preparations of human skeletal muscle, the measurement of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, as determined by conventional spectrophotometric assay of NADH accumulation, is underestimated due to the oxidizing activity of the contaminating lactate dehydrogenase. Using a model reaction system consisting of varying mixtures of purified lactate and pyruvate dehydrogenases, we...
متن کاملFunction and regulation of mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetylation, interlipoyl acetyl transfer, and migration of the pyruvate dehydrogenase component.
We have presented evidence that stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase, (PDH.) kinase activity by pyruvate or by acetyl-CoA is mediated through acetylation of lipoyl moieties (Cate, R. L., and Roche, T. E. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253,496-503). In accord with this indirect mechanism for the action of these effecters, we now find that the degree of stimulation of PDH, kinase increases with the level...
