The molecular basis of the interaction of DT-diaphorase with a cytotoxic nitrobenzamide CB1954 [5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2, 4-dinitrobenzamide] and five inhibitors was investigated with wild-type DT-diaphorase (human and rat) and five mutants [three rat mutants (rY128D, rG150V, rH194D) and two human mutants (hY155F, hH161Q)]. hY155F and hH161Q were generated to evaluate a hypothesis that Tyr155 and Hi...
Many tumors overexpress the NQO1 gene, which encodes DT-diaphorase (NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase; EC 1.6.99.2). This obligate two-electron reductase deactivates toxins and activates bioreductive anticancer drugs. We describe the establishment of an isogenic human tumor cell model for DT-diaphorase expression. An expression vector was used in which the human elongation factor 1alpha promoter pro...
The interaction of ferredoxin-NADP reductase (FNR) and ferredoxin (Fd) results in an enhanced rate of reaction and a shift of the pH optimum for the FNR-mediated diaphorase reaction. Low concentrations of NaCl (<100 millimolar), favorable for formation of the FNR:Fd complex, further magnify the alteration of the diaphorase reaction; the activity is enhanced 3-fold and pH optimum is shifted from...
The effects of cerebral metabolism-improving drugs on NADPH diaphorase activity in the mouse brain were studied, and we found that diaphorase activity in the post-mitochondrial fraction of brain homogenate was enhanced by idebenone in a concentration-dependent manner. Histochemical studies also indicated that diaphorase staining was intensified by idebenone at the same concentration. These resu...
PURPOSE To investigate the differential localization of somatotropin release-inhibitory factor (SRIF) receptor subtypes (sst2A and sst2B) and their possible colocalization with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-diaphorase in the rat and rabbit retina. METHODS Polyclonal antibodies raised against sst2A and sst2B receptors were applied to 10- to 14-microm cryostat sect...
In order to study the genetic control of semen quality parameters, we derived a set of recombinant inbred (RI) mice from crosses between two inbred strains, KE and CBA/Kw, which differ significantly in gamete quality and fertility parameters. In this work, we used male mice from the two parental strains and from ten RI strains to map genes controlling quantitative traits such as sperm mitochond...
The prefrontal cortex of primates is an integrative centre for sensory, cognitive, mnemonic and emotional processes. The cellular features which contribute to the functional specialization of its subsectors are poorly understood. In this study we determined the distribution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase-positive neurons in structurally and functionally distinct prefr...
Diaphorases are flavin-containing enzymes with potential applications in biotransfomation reactions, biosensor design and in vitro diagnostic tests. In this communication, we describe recombinant expression, characterization and application of a lipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) with diaphorase activity from a strain of Bacillus sphaericus. The DLD gene consisting of 1413 bp encoding a protein of 4...
We had previously shown NADPH diaphorase activity in fixed tissue slices of the insular cortex of the Syrian golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). The objective of this work was to determine the chemical identity of agents responsible for the observed NADPH diaphorase activities. Three different enzymatic NADPH diaphorase activities were distinguished in the insular cortex. (a) The activity se...
