L-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase from pig brain mitochondria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. A method is described for extraction and partial purification of mitochondrial l-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase from pig brain. 2. By the criteria that have so far been applied, the extraction and purification procedures do not modify the activity of the enzyme towards artificial electron acceptors. 3. The amounts of acid-liberatable flavine and iron in the preparation were measured. 4. A study was made of the effects of various analogues of l-3-glycerophosphate on the activity of the enzyme.

The distribution of monoamine oxidase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in pig brain.
Activities of the enzymes monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5) and cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) were determined in homogenates and in the mitochondrial fraction prepared from individual regions of pig brain. The variation in the activity of alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase paralleled that of cytochrome oxidase, but this was not the case with ...
متن کاملSpecificity and locale of the L-3-glycerophosphate-flavoprotein oxidoreductase of mitochondria isolated from the flight muscle of Sarcophaga barbata thoms.
1. The oxidation of l-3-glycerophosphate by flight-muscle mitochondria isolated from the flesh fly Sarcophaga barbata has been studied. Use of substrate analogues indicates that the catalytic and effector l-3-glycerophosphate binding sites on the allosteric l-3-glycerophosphate-flavoprotein oxidoreductase differ markedly in specificity. 2. The l-3-glycerophosphate-cyanoferrate oxidoreductase sy...
متن کاملHexose metabolism in pancreatic islets. Glucose-induced and Ca(2+)-dependent activation of FAD-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase.
A rise in extracellular D-glucose concentration causes in pancreatic islets a preferential stimulation of aerobic, relative to total, glycolysis. The possible participation in such a phenomenon of a glucose-induced and Ca(2+)-dependent activation of FAD-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase was investigated. In islet homogenates, the activity of the mitochondrial and Ca(2+)-responsive FAD-glycerophosp...
متن کاملGlycerophosphate-dependent hydrogen peroxide production by rat liver mitochondria.
We studied the extent to which hormonally-induced mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH) activity contributes to the supply of reducing equivalents to the mitochondrial respiratory chain in the rat liver. The activity of glycerophosphate oxidase was compared with those of NADH oxidase and/or succinate oxidase. It was found that triiodothyronine-activated mGPDH represents almost th...
متن کاملLecitin synthesis in liver.
Within the past few years considerable progress has been made in regard to the possible pathways of phospholipide synthesis in the liver. Kornberg and Pricer (1) have reported that in microsomal fractions of guinea pig liver ar-glycerophosphate is a precursor of phosphatidic acid, which is formed by an acylation of glycerophosphate by coenzyme A derivatives of fatty acid. In a similar manner, K...
