31P-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of extracts of vascular smooth muscle.

31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to assess phosphate metabolites in perchloric acid extracts of rabbit aorta. In addition to the high energy phosphates, several other phosphorus compounds were detected and quantified. Most notable was the presence of a prominent phosphomonoester compound appearing at a chemical shift of 3.86 delta. This compound constituted 26% of the total extractable tissue phosphorus and is tentatively identified as ribose-5-phosphate, a pentose phosphate pathway intermediate. While ATP and phosphocreatine did not change during glucose and oxygen deprivation or during prolonged muscle contraction, the 3.86 delta phosphate decreased significantly. Furthermore, theophylline, an agent that increases intracellular cAMP, also decreased the level of the 3.86 delta phosphate. These results are consistent with the concept that intermediate metabolism sustains high energy phosphate pools in vascular smooth muscle in the steady state under various conditions. The pentose phosphate pathway may play an important role in vascular smooth muscle metabolism.

Glucose and glutamine metabolism in rat macrophages: enhanced glycolysis and unaltered glutaminolysis in spontaneously diabetic BB rats.

Metabolism of glutamine (Gln, 2 mM) and glucose (5 mM) was studied in vitro in isolated resident peritoneal macrophages from both normal (BBn) and spontaneously diabetic BB (BBd) rats. The major products from Gln were ammonia, glutamate, CO2 and to a lesser extent aspartate. Glucose decreased (P less than 0.01) the production of ammonia, CO2 and aspartate from Gln by 34-60%, but had no effect on the amount of glutamate accumulated. The major products from glucose were lactate and to a much lesser extent pyruvate and CO2. Gln decreased (P less than 0.01) 14CO2 production from [U-14C]glucose by 19-28%, increased (P less than 0.01) pyruvate production by 35-49%, but had no effect on lactate production. The fraction of glucose metabolized via the pentose phosphate pathway (PC) was less than 5%. There were no significant differences in Gln metabolism between BBn and BBd macrophages. The production of lactate and pyruvate and the flux from glucose into the PC were increased (P less than 0.01) by 2.4, 1.8 and 1.5-fold, respectively, in BBd cells. Increased macrophage glucose metabolism was also observed in diabetes-prone BB (BBdp) rats at 75-80 days but not at 50 days of age. In the presence of both Gln and glucose, potential ATP production from glucose was 2- and 4-times that from Gln, respectively, in BBn and BBd cells. Lactate production was the major pathway for glucose-derived ATP generation. These results demonstrate (a) glycolysis and flux from glucose through the pentose phosphate pathway are enhanced with no alteration in glutaminolysis in BBd macrophages; and (b) glucose may be a more important fuel than Gln for macrophages, particularly in BBd rats. The increased glucose metabolism may be associated with functional activation of the macrophages that have been proposed to be involved in beta-cell destruction and the development of diabetes.

Effect of the K+/H+ ionophore nigericin on response of A549 cells to photodynamic therapy and tert-butylhydroperoxide.

The K+/H+ ionophore nigericin dramatically increases killing of V79 cells and A549 cells by photodynamic therapy (PDT) sensitized by chloroaluminum phthalocyanine. Previous studies suggested that the interaction between PDT and nigericin is related to the ability of this ionophore to reduce intracellular pH (pHi). The present study was undertaken to test the possibility that nigericin, by lowering pHi, inhibits reductive detoxification of PDT-produced peroxides by enzymes of the glutathione (GSH) redox cycle and the pentose cycle. To test this possibility we examined the effects of nigericin on the toxicity and metabolism of a model peroxide, tert-butylhydroperoxide (tert-BOOH), in A549 cells, a cell line in which the GSH redox cycle is known to be the principal pathway for reduction and detoxification of tert-BOOH. We found that nigericin equilibrates pHi of A549 cells with extracellular pH (pHe) in a time-dependent manner. It increases the toxicity of tert-BOOH toward A549 cells, inhibits loss of tert-BOOH from the buffer overlying the cells, and reduces the rate of 14CO2 release from radiolabelled glucose, which is a measure of pentose cycle activity. These effects are significantly greater at pHe 6.40 than at 7.40. Monensin, a Na+/H+ ionophore which does not reduce pHi, does not enhance the toxicity of tert-BOOH and has only a minimal effect on tert-BOOH reduction. These data suggest that nigericin-induced inhibition of peroxide detoxification is at least a plausible mechanism by which the ionophore might interact with PDT.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase regulation during hypometabolism.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) from hepatopancreas of the land snail, Otala lactea, shows distinct changes in properties between active and estivating (dormant) states, providing the first evidence of pentose phosphate cycle regulation during hypometabolism. Compared with active snails, G6PDH Vmax increased by 50%, Km for glucose-6-phosphate decreased by 50%, Ka Mg x citrate decreased by 35%, and activation energy (from Arrhenius plots) decreased by 35% during estivation. DEAE-Sephadex chromatography separated two peaks of activity and in vitro incubations stimulating protein kinases or phosphatases showed that peak I (low phosphate) G6PDH was higher in active snails (57% of activity) whereas peak II (high phosphate) G6PDH dominated during estivation (71% of total). Kinetic properties of peaks I and II forms mirrored the enzyme from active and estivated states, respectively. Peak II G6PDH also showed reduced sensitivity to urea inhibition of activity and greater stability to thermolysin protease treatment. The interconversion of G6PDH between active and estivating forms was linked to protein kinase G and protein phosphatase 1. Estivation-induced phosphorylation of G6PDH may enhance relative carbon flow through the pentose phosphate cycle, compared with glycolysis, to help maintain NADPH production for use in antioxidant defense.

Metabolic regulation of oocyte cell death through the CaMKII-mediated phosphorylation of caspase-2.

Vertebrate female reproduction is limited by the oocyte stockpiles acquired during embryonic development. These are gradually depleted over the organism's lifetime through the process of apoptosis. The timer that triggers this cell death is yet to be identified. We used the Xenopus egg/oocyte system to examine the hypothesis that nutrient stores can regulate oocyte viability. We show that pentose-phosphate-pathway generation of NADPH is critical for oocyte survival and that the target of this regulation is caspase-2, previously shown to be required for oocyte death in mice. Pentose-phosphate-pathway-mediated inhibition of cell death was due to the inhibitory phosphorylation of caspase-2 by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). These data suggest that exhaustion of oocyte nutrients, resulting in an inability to generate NADPH, may contribute to ooctye apoptosis. These data also provide unexpected links between oocyte metabolism, CaMKII, and caspase-2.

Genes encoding enzymes responsible for biosynthesis of L-lyxose and attachment of eurekanate during avilamycin biosynthesis.

The oligosaccharide antibiotic avilamycin A is composed of a polyketide-derived dichloroisoeverninic acid moiety attached to a heptasaccharide chain consisting of six hexoses and one unusual pentose moiety. We describe the generation of mutant strains of the avilamycin producer defective in different sugar biosynthetic genes. Inactivation of two genes (aviD and aviE2) resulted in the breakdown of the avilamycin biosynthesis. In contrast, avilamycin production was not influenced in an aviP mutant. Inactivation of aviGT4 resulted in a mutant that accumulated a novel avilamycin derivative lacking the terminal eurekanate residue. Finally, AviE2 was expressed in Escherichia coli and the gene product was characterized biochemically. AviE2 was shown to convert UDP-D-glucuronic acid to UDP-D-xylose, indicating that the pentose residue of avilamycin A is derived from D-glucose and not from D-ribose. Here we report a UDP-D-glucuronic acid decarboxylase in actinomycetes.

Metabolic-flux analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D based on mass isotopomer measurements of (13)C-labeled primary metabolites.

Metabolic-flux analyses in microorganisms are increasingly based on (13)C-labeling data. In this paper a new approach for the measurement of (13)C-label distributions is presented: rapid sampling and quenching of microorganisms from a cultivation, followed by extraction and detection by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of free intracellular metabolites. This approach allows the direct assessment of mass isotopomer distributions of primary metabolites. The method is applied to the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113-7D grown in an aerobic, glucose-limited chemostat culture. Detailed investigations of the measured mass isotopomer distributions demonstrate the accuracy and information-richness of the obtained data. The mass fractions are fitted with a cumomer model to yield the metabolic fluxes. It is estimated that 24% of the consumed glucose is catabolized via the pentose phosphate pathway. Furthermore, it is found that turnover of storage carbohydrates occurs. Inclusion of this turnover in the model leads to a large confidence interval of the estimated split ratio.

Solute transporters as connecting elements between cytosol and plastid stroma.

Metabolite translocators in the inner membrane of the plastid envelope are the interface between cytosolic and plastidial metabolism. Hence, they integrate plastidial pathways, such as photosynthesis, starch biosynthesis, the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and the shikimate pathway, into the metabolic network of plant cells. Metabolite transporters not only catalyze the flux of metabolites between compartments but also represent information pathways that communicate the metabolic status of the various compartments within plant cells. Recently, a pentose-phosphate translocator was shown to be a novel member of the phosphate translocator protein family. Furthermore, a protein of previously unknown function was identified as a novel type of maltose transporter, and a glutamate/malate translocator that is involved in photorespiration was discovered. In addition, the pathway for maltose metabolism in the cytosol has been unraveled.

Gamma-radiolysis of D-glucose in aerated, aqueous solution.

Gamma-Radiolysis of D-glucose in aerated, aqueous solution gives mainly D-glucono-1,5-lactone, D-arabino-hexosulose, and D-ribo-hexos-3-ulose, together with D-xylo-hexos-4-ulose, D-xylo-hexos-5-ulose, and other pentose, tetrose, and triose derivatives as minor products, which were estimated by mass spectrometry of their alditol-d acetates. These hexose derivatives appear to be produced by the decomposition of D-glucose peroxy-radicals which are formed by the reaction of the primary radicals of D-glucose with oxygen. Bond scission of the peroxy-radicals yields triose, tetrose, and pentose. A radiolysis mechanism for the degradation of D-glucose in aerated, aqueous solution is proposed, based on the reaction of several kinds of D-glucose radical with oxygen.

Long and short fiber amosite asbestos alters at a different extent the redox metabolism in human lung epithelial cells.

The mechanism by which asbestos fibers are fibrogenic and tumorigenic is still matter of debate. The higher pathogenicity of longer fibers has been traditionally associated with their slower clearance in respiratory airways. However, short amosite fibers, obtained by grinding longer ones, exhibited a lower potential to damage nude DNA and a lower in vitro cytotoxicity. We have thus revisited the two sets of long and short fibers in order to compare their surface properties to their activity in cell systems. In this study we report that, in human lung epithelial cells A549, long amosite fibers, more effectively than the short ones, initiate free radical reactions, inhibit the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and the pentose phosphate pathway, decrease the intracellular level of reduced glutathione, and increase the generation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase in the extracellular medium. These results suggest that the shortening of fibers by prolonged milling affects not only their biopersistence, but also their surface properties, hence their interaction with cellular metabolism. Our data provide also a mechanism by which asbestos fibers inhibit the pentose phosphate pathway, i.e., via the oxidative inhibition of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is prevented by reduced glutathione.

Cosubstrates involved in the reduction of cytosolic glutathione disulfide in rat heart.

The functionality of glutathione (GSH), which is present in separate mitochondrial and cytosolic pools, hinges on a steady supply of reducing equivalents, provided by NADPH, to convert glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to GSH. It is believed traditionally that glucose 6-phosphate (G6-P) via the pentose phosphate pathway is the main cellular source of NADPH. The current study examined the ability of NADH- and NADPH-linked cosubstrates to support cardiac cytosolic GSSG reduction. Exogenous NADP+ was added to the incubation mixtures because of the loss of this nucleotide during homogenization. Exogenous GSSG was added to all samples to levels that were approximately 60% of total glutathione. In both the 500 x g (with mitochondria) and 10,000 x g (without mitochondria) rat heart supernatants, isocitrate supported reduction of approximately 90% of available GSSG within 10 min. Malate, pyruvate and palmitoyl carnitine did not support GSSG reduction in either supernatant. G6-P yielded GSH levels within 10 min equal to 77% of total glutathione in the 1,0000 x g supernatant and 47% in the 500 x g supernatant. The current data indicate: (1) The pentose phosphate pathway, alone, is less efficient than isocitrate at supplying reducing equivalents for cytosolic GSSG reduction; and (2) some confounding factor(s) occur in the 500 x g and reconstituted 500 x g supernatants whereby G6-P-supported GSSG reduction is attenuated.

Crystal structure of transaldolase B from Escherichia coli suggests a circular permutation of the alpha/beta barrel within the class I aldolase family.

BACKGROUND: Transaldolase is one of the enzymes in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. It transfers a C3 ketol fragment from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor. Transaldolase, together with transketolase, creates a reversible link between the pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis. The enzyme is of considerable interest as a catalyst in stereospecific organic synthesis and the aim of this work was to reveal the molecular architecture of transaldolase and provide insights into the structural basis of the enzymatic mechanism. RESULTS: The three-dimensional (3D) structure of recombinant transaldolase B from E. coli was determined at 1.87 A resolution. The enzyme subunit consists of a single eight-stranded alpha/beta-barrel domain. Two subunits form a dimer related by a twofold symmetry axis. The active-site residue Lys132 which forms a Schiff base with the substrate is located at the bottom of the active-site cleft. CONCLUSIONS: The 3D structure of transaldolase is similar to structures of other enzymes in the class I aldolase family. Comparison of these structures suggests that a circular permutation of the protein sequence might have occurred in transaldolase, which nevertheless results in a similar 3D structure. This observation provides evidence for a naturally occurring circular permutation in an alpha/beta-barrel protein. It appears that such genetic permutations occur more frequently during evolution than was previously thought.

Chlamydia trachomatis genes whose products are related to energy metabolism are expressed differentially in active vs. persistent infection.

The Chlamydia trachomatis genome encodes glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway enzymes, two ATP/ADP exchange proteins, and other energy transduction-related components. We asked if and when chlamydial genes specifying products related to energy transduction are expressed during active vs. persistent infection in in vitro models and in synovia from Chlamydia-associated arthritis patients. Hep-2 cells infected with K serovar were harvested from 0-48 h post-infection (active infection). Human monocytes identically infected were harvested at 1, 2, 3, 5 days post-infection (persistent). RNA from each preparation and from synovial samples PCR-positive/-negative for Chlamydia DNA was subjected to RT-PCR targeting (a) chlamydial primary rRNA transcripts and adt1 mRNA, (b) chlamydial mRNA encoding enzymes of the glycolysis (pyk, gap, pgk) and pentose phosphate (gnd, tal) pathways, the TCA cycle (mdhC, fumC), electron transport system (cydA, cydB), and sigma factors (rpoD, rpsD, rpoN). Primary rRNA transcripts and adt1 mRNA were present in each infected preparation and patient sample; controls were negative for chlamydial RNA. In infected Hep-2 cells, all energy transduction-related genes were expressed by approximately 11 h post-infection. In monocytes, pyk, gap, pgk, gnd, tal, cydA mRNA were present in 1-2-day-infected cells but absent at 3 days and after; cydB, mdhC, fumC were expressed through 5 days post-infection. RT-PCR targeting mRNA from sigma factor genes indicated that lack of these gene products cannot explain selective transcriptional down-regulation during persistence. Analyses of RNA from synovial tissues mirrored those from the monocyte system. These data suggest that in the first phase of active chlamydial infection, ADP/ATP exchange provides energy required for metabolism; in active growth, glycolysis supplements host ATP. In persistence host, rather than bacterially produced, ATP is the primary energy source. Metabolic rate in persistent C. trachomatis is lower than in actively growing cells, as judged from assays for relative chlamydial primary rRNA transcript levels in persistent vs. actively growing cells.

Analysis of Amadori compounds by high-performance cation exchange chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.

High-performance cation exchange chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry or electrochemical detection was found to be an efficient tool for analyzing Amadori compounds derived from hexose and pentose sugars. The method allows rapid separation and identification of Amadori compounds, while benefiting from the well-known advantages of mass spectrometry, such as specificity and sensitivity. Glucose- and xylose-derived Amadori compounds of several amino acids, such as glycine, alanine, valine, leucine/isoleucine, methionine, proline, phenylalanine, and glutamic acid, were separated or discriminated using this new method. The method is suitable for the analysis of both model reaction mixtures and food products. Fructosylglutamate was found to be the major Amadori compound in dried tomatoes (approximately 1.5 g/100 g) and fructosylproline in dried apricots (approximately 0.2 g/100 g). Reaction of xylose and glycine at 90 degrees C (pH 6) for 2 h showed rapid formation of xylulosylglycine (approximately 12 mol %, 15 min) followed by slow decrease over time. Analysis of pentose-derived Amadori compounds is shown for the first time, which represents a major breakthrough in studying occurrence, formation, and decomposition of these labile Maillard intermediates.

Metabolic patterns in meningiomas.

The aim of this investigation was to define characteristic properties of cellular energy metabolism in meningiomas in vitro dependent on the histological subtype. We analysed marker enzymes of representative metabolic pathways localized in the mitochondria (respiratory chain, citric acid cycle, beta-oxidation of fatty acids) and in the cytoplasm (glycolysis, pentose phosphate shunt). The activities of the intramitochondrial enzymes were significantly reduced in the meningiomas compared to normal cortex tissue. Glycolytic enzymes were not significantly different, but the marker enzyme of the pentose phosphate shunt was increased by a factor of 3.5-6 in the tumours. Further analysis of the histological subtypes showed that phosphofructokinase and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly increased in the anaplastic meningiomas compared to the benign subtypes.

Glutamine metabolism to glucosamine is necessary for glutamine inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthesis.

L-Glutamine is a physiological inhibitor of endothelial NO synthesis. The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that metabolism of glutamine to glucosamine is necessary for glutamine inhibition of endothelial NO generation. Bovine venular endothelial cells were cultured for 24 h in the presence of 0, 0.1, 0.5 or 2 mM D-glucosamine, or of 0.2 or 2 mM L-glutamine with or without 20 microM 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) or with 100 microM azaserine. Both DON and azaserine are inhibitors of L-glutamine:D-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase (isomerizing) (EC 2.6.1.16), the first and rate controlling enzyme in glucosamine synthesis. Glucosamine at 0.1, 0.5 and 2 mM decreased NO production by 34, 45 and 56% respectively compared with controls where glucosamine was lacking. DON (20 microM) and azaserine (100 microM) blocked glucosamine synthesis and prevented the inhibition of NO generation by glutamine. Neither glutamine nor glucosamine had an effect on NO synthase (NOS) activity, arginine transport or cellular tetrahydrobiopterin and Ca(2+) levels. However, both glutamine and glucosamine inhibited pentose cycle activity and decreased cellular NADPH concentrations; these effects of glutamine were abolished by DON or azaserine. Restoration of cellular NADPH levels by the addition of 1 mM citrate also prevented the inhibiting effect of glutamine or glucosamine on NO synthesis. A further increase in cellular NADPH levels by the addition of 5 mM citrate resulted in greater production of NO. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the metabolism of glutamine to glucosamine is necessary for the inhibition of endothelial NO generation by glutamine. Glucosamine reduces the cellular availability of NADPH (an essential cofactor for NOS) by inhibiting pentose cycle activity, and this may be a metabolic basis for the inhibition of endothelial NO synthesis by glucosamine.

The effect of 2,4-dinitrophenol on adipose-tissue metabolism.

1. The effect of dinitrophenol on the metabolism of glucose labelled with (14)C and tritium by epididymal fat-pad segments from fed rats was studied. Dinitrophenol at concentrations of 0.1-0.3mm: (a) had little effect on glucose utilization; (b) depressed synthesis of fatty acids and greatly increased that of lactate; (c) increased the T/(14)C ratio in fatty acids synthesized from [U-(14)C,3-T]glucose and decreased that in fatty acids synthesized from [U-(14)C,4-T]glucose; (d) abolished randomization of (14)C from [6-(14)C]glucose in lactate. 2. Dinitrophenol stimulated oxidation of pyruvate and greatly inhibited the oxidation of lactate. It inhibited lipogenesis from pyruvate and lactate. 3. From the isotope data it was calculated that: (a) dinitrophenol stimulates oxidation via the tricarboxylic acid cycle three- to six-fold; (b) dinitrophenol depresses markedly the operation of the pentose cycle; (c) in the presence of dinitrophenol, NADPH formed in the pentose cycle provides all the hydrogen equivalents for fatty acid reduction, whereas, in its absence, NADPH provides 50-70% of the hydrogen equivalents; (d) in the presence of dinitrophenol, there is an excess of ATP produced in the cytoplasm, which flows into the mitochondria. A reverse flow operates in the absence of dinitrophenol. 4. A balance of formation and utilization of reduced nicotinamide nucleotides in the cytoplasm was established. With dinitrophenol there is some excess of NADH. There are indications that this excess may be transferred into mitochondria in the form of malate. 5. Our results are interpreted to indicate the absence from adipose tissue of the alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle for transferring reducing equivalents from the cytoplasm to mitochondria. 6. The effects of dinitrophenol are accounted for in terms of decreased ATP concentrations in the cells, leading to marked decrease in pyruvate carboxylation in the mitochondria and depression of fatty acid synthesis in the cytoplasm.

Protein S-thiolation targets glycolysis and protein synthesis in response to oxidative stress in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The irreversible oxidation of cysteine residues can be prevented by protein S-thiolation, a process by which protein SH groups form mixed disulphides with low-molecular-mass thiols such as glutathione. We report here the target proteins which are modified in yeast cells in response to H(2)O(2). In particular, a range of glycolytic and related enzymes (Tdh3, Eno2, Adh1, Tpi1, Ald6 and Fba1), as well as translation factors (Tef2, Tef5, Nip1 and Rps5) are identified. The oxidative stress conditions used to induce S-thiolation are shown to inhibit GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase), enolase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities, whereas they have no effect on aldolase, triose phosphate isomerase or aldehyde dehydrogenase activities. The inhibition of GAPDH, enolase and alcohol dehydrogenase is readily reversible once the oxidant is removed. In addition, we show that peroxide stress has little or no effect on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, the enzymes that catalyse NADPH production via the pentose phosphate pathway. Thus the inhibition of glycolytic flux is proposed to result in glucose equivalents entering the pentose phosphate pathway for the generation of NADPH. Radiolabelling is used to confirm that peroxide stress results in a rapid and reversible inhibition of protein synthesis. Furthermore, we show that glycolytic enzyme activities and protein synthesis are irreversibly inhibited in a mutant that lacks glutathione, and hence cannot modify proteins by S-thiolation. In summary, protein S-thiolation appears to serve an adaptive function during exposure to an oxidative stress by reprogramming metabolism and protecting protein synthesis against irreversible oxidation.
