The intracellular redox potential plays an important role in cell survival. The principal intracellular reductant NADPH is mainly produced by the pentose phosphate pathway by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), the rate-limiting enzyme, and by 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Considering the importance of NADPH, we hypothesized that G6PDH plays a critical role in cell death. Our results...
Hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH; EC 1.1.1.49) is subject to nutritional regulation. To assess the possible role of hormones in this regulation, the amounts of G6PDH mRNA were studied in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes treated with insulin and dexamethasone, alone or in combination. Relative concentrations of G6PDH mRNA were directly assessed by a dot-blot hybridization proc...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) plays a housekeeping role in cell metabolism by generating reducing power (NADPH) and fueling the production of nucleotide precursors (ribose-5-phosphate). Based on its indispensability for pathogenic parasites from the genus Trypanosoma, G6PDH is considered a drug target candidate. Several steroid-like scaffolds were previously reported to target the a...
The hormonal regulation of the relative rate of synthesis and mRNA of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH; EC 1.1.1.49) was studied in primary cultures of adult-rat liver parenchymal cells maintained in a chemically defined medium. Maintenance of hepatocytes from starved animals in a culture medium devoid of any hormones resulted in a 4-fold increase in the relative rate of G6PDH synthesis...
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) may be subjected to mechanical forces, such as cyclic strain, that promote the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We hypothesized that VSMC modulate this adverse milieu by increasing the expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to maintain or restore intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels. Cyclic strain increased superoxide formation, ...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH)-deficient cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed increased susceptibility and were unable to induce adaptation to oxidative stress. Historically, mainly in human erythrocytes, it has been suggested and accepted that decreased cellular GSH, due to loss of the NADPH-dependent activity of glutathione reductase (GR), is responsible for the increased sensi...
Plant cells contain plastids, organelles dedicated to performing specific biochemical processes including photosynthesis, starch and oil biosynthesis. Fatty acid biosynthesis in oil seeds occurs in one type of plastid termed the leucoplast. Anabolic metabolism in leucoplasts includes the production of fatty acids and amino acids that depend on the availability of reductants such as NADPH. NADPH...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) has been implicated in the supply of reduced nicotine amide cofactors for biochemical reactions and in modulating the redox state of cells. In plants, identification of its role is complicated due to the presence of several isoforms in the cytosol and plastids. Here we focus on G6PDHs in the cytosol of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) using single and...
Multiple molecular forms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) were detected by activity staining in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels of cell-free extracts from a range of cyanobacteria including Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, Plectonema boryanum PCC 73110, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, Nostoc sp. MAC PCC 8009 and the marine strain Synechococcus sp. WH7803. In most of...
Total glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity, protein abundance, and transcript levels of G6PDH isoforms were measured in response to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) supply to barley (Hordeum vulgare cv Nure) hydroponic culture. Total G6PDH activity increased by 50% in roots treated for 12 h with exogenous 0.1 mM ABA. In roots, a considerable increase (35%) in plastidial P2-G6PDH tran...
