X-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and autosomal 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) polymorphisms in baboons.

Electrophoretic polymorphisms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) were examined in captive colonies of five subspecies of baboons (Papio hamadryas). Phenotype frequencies and family data verified the X-linked inheritance of the G6PD polymorphism. Insufficient family data were available to confirm autosomal inheritance of the 6PGD polymorphism, but the electrophoretic patterns of variant types (putative heterozygotes) suggested the codominant expression of alleles at an autosomal locus. Implications of the G6PD polymorphism are discussed with regard to its utility as a marker system for research on X-chromosome inactivation during baboon development and for studies of clonal cell proliferation and/or cell selection during the development of atherosclerotic lesions in the baboon model.

Automated purification of human erythrocytic 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase.

Human 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) was purified from hemolyzate by group affinity chromatography on 2',5'-ADP-Sepharose, followed by buffer exchange chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and finally salting-out chromatography on Sepharose 6B. An apparatus was assembled from commercially available elements, in which the purification procedure can proceed and be completed unattended and under fully automatic control. The weekly production of the set-up is at present 10 mg of pure 6PGD. The choice of the purification of procedure and the advantages of automation are discussed.

The 2'-phosphate of NADP is responsible for proper orientation of the nicotinamide ring in the oxidative decarboxylation reaction catalyzed by sheep liver 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase.

Sheep liver 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase shows a high specificity for NADP, with a much lower affinity for NAD. Discrimination between NADP and NAD suggests that the interactions between the 2'-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase contribute most of the binding energy for NADP. There are three active site residues, Asn-32, Arg-33, and Thr-34, that hydrogen-bond to the 2'-phosphate of NADP according to the crystal structure of the E.Nbr(8)ADP complex. In this study alanine mutagenesis was used to probe the contribution of each of the three residues to binding the cofactor and to catalysis. All mutant enzymes exhibit no significant change in V/E(t) or K(6PG) but an increase in K(NADP) that ranges from 6- to 80-fold. All mutant enzymes also exhibit at least a 7-fold increase in the primary kinetic (13)C-isotope effect-1, indicating that the decarboxylation step has become more rate-limiting. Data are consistent with significant roles for Asn-32, Arg-33, and Thr-34 in providing binding energy for NADP, and more importantly, the 2'-phosphate of NADP is required for proper orientation of the cofactor to allow rotation about the N-glycosidic bond as it is reduced in the hydride transfer step.

The use of various immobilized-triazine affinity dyes for the purification of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

1. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Bacillus stearothermophilus was purified approximately 260-fold on triazine-immobilized dye columns to a final specific activity of 54 mumol of NADP+ reduced/min per mg of protein and an overall yield of 62%. 2. An investigation of the capacities of different triazine dyes that inhibit 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was carried out. Cibacron Blue F3G-A and Procion Red HE-3B strongly inhibited the enzyme in free solution and were therefore chosen as the ligands in the purification scheme. 3. KCl was found to be the most suitable agent for eluting 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Procion Red HE-3B-Sepharose 6B. NADP+ could specifically elute 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Cibacron Blue F3G-A-Sepharose 6B. 4. A study of the effect of temperature on the binding of pure 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase to both Cibacron Blue-Sepharose and Procion Red-Sepharose showed that the binding increased with an increase in temperature.

Purification and kinetic characterization of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is the pivotal enzyme that links the gluconate route and the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The enzyme differs from the known 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases of other sources in that the Schizosaccharomyces enzyme is tetrameric having a subunit mass of 38 kDa, that it requires NADP+ obligatorily for activity, and that it can be activated by divalent metal ions such as Co2+ and Mn2+. Steady-state kinetic studies were undertaken. Initial rate and product inhibition results suggest that 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe catalyzes NADP(+)-linked oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate by an equilibrium random mechanism with two independent binding sites, namely one site for the nicotinamide coenzyme, NADP+/NADPH, and another site for 6-phosphogluconate-D-ribulose-5-phosphate and for CO2. Studies of pH dependence implicated a basic residue with a pK value of 7.4 in the binding of 6-phosphogluconate and an acidic residue with a pK value of 6.7 in the cation-mediated interaction of NADP+ with the enzyme.

The topology of phosphogluconate dehydrogenases in rat liver microsomes.

Rat liver microsomes are known to contain a 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase which differs from the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the soluble fraction. Microsomes which were washed once bind the soluble phosphogluconate dehydrogenase more tightly than they do glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Microsomes washed three times in 0.15 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, contain only the microsomal 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Two observations show that this dehydrogenase is located in the cisternae. First, this dehydrogenase is inactive in intact, three times washed microsomes. Second, proteolytic inactivation of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase like that of the cisternal enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase requires disruption of the membrane. Under the conditions used, detergent did not affect the proteolytic inactivation of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, an enzyme located on the external surface. The excellent correspondence between the activations of hexose phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in microsomes at various stages of disruption of the microsomal membrane produced by detergent supports the earlier contention that these two dehydrogenases are reducing NADP in the same region of the microsomes. A similar experiment which shows an exact correspondence between the activations of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and mannose-6-phosphatase with increasing concentrations of detergent indicates that the activation of the dehydrogenase can be explained solely by the penetration of the substrates to the active dehydrogenase within the microsomes and strongly suggests that the dehydrogenase is catalytically active in the cisternae.

[[[Purification and properties of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from human erythrocytes].

6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was purified from human erythrocytes by chromatography on 2'5' ADP Sepharose and ammonium sulfate precipitation, to a specific activity of 28 IU/mg of protein. The enzyme binds two NADP molecules per molecule of dimer with a Kd of 6.95 microM, or only one molecule of NADPH per molecule of dimer with a Kd of 0.38 microM. The substrate has no effect on the binding of NADPH, whereas increases the binding of a coenzyme analogue, the NADP oxidized with periodate. These findings indicate a possible regulatory role for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from Lactococcus lactis.

6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is one of the seven enzymes involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. Crystals of a mammalian and a protozoan enzyme have been obtained previously and structures determined. It is reported here that a bacterial 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, from Lactococcus lactis, has been purified and used in crystallization trials. Large prisms suitable for a detailed structural analysis have been obtained and characterized as orthorhombic, space group F222, with a = 70.4, b = 105.7, c = 474.6 A. Diffraction has been observed to 2.2 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. Structural analysis, in combination with ongoing biochemical characterization, will assist the elucidation of the structure-activity relationships of this enzyme.
