Interaction between mammalian glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and L-lactate dehydrogenase from heart and muscle.

The exceptionally high protein concentration in living cells can favor functional protein-protein interactions that can be difficult to detect with purified proteins. In this study we describe specific interactions between mammalian D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes from heart and muscle. We use poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG)-induced coprecipitation and native agarose electrophoresis as two independent methods uniquely suited to mimic some of the conditions that can favor protein-protein interaction in living cells. We found that GAPDH interacts with heart or muscle isozymes of LDH with approximately one-to-one stoichiometry. The interaction is specific; GAPDH shows interaction with two LDH isozymes that have very different net charge and solubility in PEG solution, while no interaction is observed with GAPDH from other species, other NAD(H) dehydrogenases, or other proteins that have very similar net charge and molecular mass. Analytical ultracentrifugation showed that the LDH and GAPDH complex is insoluble in PEG solution. The interaction is abolished by saturation with NADH, but not by saturation with NAD(+) in correlation with GAPDH solubility in PEG solution. The crystal structures show that GAPDH and LDH isozymes share complementary size, shape, and electric potential surrounding the active sites. The presented results suggest that GAPDH and LDH have a functional interaction that can affect NAD(+)/NADH metabolism and glycolysis in living cells.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase from Thermus aquaticus YT-1, an extreme thermophile: activation by citrate and modification reagents and comparison with Thermus caldophilus GK24 L-lactate dehydrogenase.

Heat-stable fructose 1,6-bisphosphate-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.27] was purified from an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus aquaticus YT-1. The amino acid composition and NH2-terminal 34 amino acid sequence of the enzyme were determined. Its NH2-terminal sequence shows high homology with those of Thermus caldophilus GK24 (82% identity) and some other bacterial L-lactate dehydrogenases (44-53% identity), indicating the close phylogenic relationship of the two Thermus species. At the same time, the two Thermus L-lactate dehydrogenases were found not to be identical not only chemically but also kinetically and immunologically. Citrate activated the T. aquaticus enzyme in the weak acidic pH region, while fructose 1,6-bisphosphate did in both acidic and neutral pH regions. The maximum activity obtained with citrate at pH 5.0 was about 2.5 times higher than that in the presence of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate at pH 6.7. The enzymes modified with 2,3-butanedione, acetic anhydride and diethyl pyrocarbonate in the presence of both NADH and oxamate were desensitized to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, and the modified enzymes were active even in the absence of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. All of the modified enzymes examined were still activated by citrate similarly to the native enzyme. These results suggest that the mechanism of activation by citrate is different from that by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, and that the citrate-binding site is different from the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate-binding site.

Inhibition of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase and rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase by phenylhydrazine.

The activity of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase was inhibited by phenylhydrazine. Kinetic experiments showed that this compound produced linear competitive inhibition with respect to NAD+ and linear noncompetitive inhibition with respect to ethanol. These results suggested that the inhibitor competes with NAD+ for the coenzyme binding site of alcohol dehydrogenase, forming a dead-end complex with the free form of the enzyme. A Ki value of 393 +/- 51 microM was estimated for the enzyme-inhibitor complex. Further evidence for this mechanism of inhibition arose from the fact that the same kind of inhibition was found for rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase. The Ki value for the lactate dehydrogenase-phenylhydrazine complex was 43.41 +/- 2.10 mM. The significant difference between these Ki values is explained in terms of known differences in hydrophobicity of the nicotinamide binding region in the two enzymes.

[Lactate dehydrogenase (LD)].

Lactate dehydrogenase (LD) activities are measured by the Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry (JSCC) recommendation method (lactate to pyruvate direction). LD exists in a tetrameric form by the combination of M(A) and H(B) subunits. The quantitative distribution of the LD isozymes is different and characteristic. Therefore, LD activities and isozyme patterns are applied to laboratory diagnosis. However, the serum LD isozyme pattern is often modified by the differing elimination rates of each isozyme, and is sometimes modified by various other factors, such as LD-immunoglobulin complex, genetic variants, or tumor producing LD.

Optimal conditions and comparison of lactate dehydrogenase catalysis of the lactate-to-pyruvate and pyruvate-to-lactate reactions in human serum at 25, 30, and 37 degrees C.

We report optimal conditions for assaying highly purified human lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes with the lactate-to-pyruvate and pyruvate-to-lactate reactions, as they apply to human serum. Interconversion of results between reactions is not practicable. Measurements of lactate dehydrogenase in either reaction direction at 25, 30, or 37 degrees C can be equally reliable if the volume fraction and the resulting deltaA/min is small. However, for interinstrument and interlaboratory comparisons, results from the lactate-to-pyruvate reaction are more reliable.

Early (chemical) diagnosis of bacterial meningitis--cerebrospinal fluid glucose, lactate, and lactate dehydrogenase compared.

Both lactate and lactate dehydrogenase are more sensitive as early indicators of bacterial meningitis than is glucose, and both appear to help differentiate aseptic from bacterial meningitis. In selected cases, lactate dehydrogenase may be more sensitive than lactate. We also give reference intervals for cerebrospinal fluid cell count, glucose, lactate, and lactate dehydrogenase.

Effect of Intramuscular or Intrahepatic Injections of Clostridium perfringens on Rabbit Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase.

Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, LDH isoenzyme pattern, phospholipase C activity, phosphorous level, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte osmotic fragility were followed in rabbits after intramuscular (IM) or intrahepatic (IH) injections of Clostridium perfringens. On the first day after IM injection, there was a drop in LDH activity; this was followed by an increase of LDH activity on the third and sixth day. On the seventh day, LDH activity began to decline, and by the ninth day it had almost returned to normal. On the sixth day after IM injection, there was an increase in serum LDH isoenzyme 5, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte osmotic fragility, but the increase of erythrocyte osmotic fragility and serum hemoglobin could not be attributed to phospholipase C activity since that enzyme was not detected nor was there an increase in serum phosphorus. C. perfringens was recovered by culturing the wound of IM-injected rabbits but not recovered from IH-injected rabbits. Rabbits injected IH showed no change from normal values in any of the tests performed.
