Abstract
Although the papers of Kacser and Burns (1973) and Heinrich and Rapoport (1974a,b) are commonly taken as the birth of metabolic control analysis, many of the ideas in them are foreshadowed in earlier papers, from 1956 onwards, when Kacser first argued for taking a systemic view of genetics and biochemistry.

Abstract
Mammalian E3 is an essential mitochondrial enzyme responsible for catalyzing the terminal reaction in the oxidative catabolism of several metabolites. E3 is a key regulator of metabolic fuel selection as a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc). E3 regulates PDHc activity by altering the affinity of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, an inhibitor of the enzyme complex, through changes in reduction and acetylation state of lipoamide moieties set by the NAD(+)/NADH ratio. Thus, an accurate kinetic model of E3 is needed to predict overall mammalian PDHc activity. Here, we have combined numerous literature data sets and new equilibrium spectroscopic experiments with a multitude of independently collected forward and reverse steady-state kinetic assays using pig heart E3. The latter kinetic assays demonstrate a pH-dependent transition of NAD(+) activation to inhibition, shown here, to our knowledge, for the first time in a single consistent data set. Experimental data were analyzed to yield a thermodynamically constrained four-redox-state model of E3 that simulates pH-dependent activation/inhibition and active site redox states for various conditions. The developed model was used to determine substrate/product conditions that give maximal E3 rates and show that, due to non-Michaelis-Menten behavior, the maximal flux is different compared with the classically defined kcat.

Abstract
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase is a flavoenzyme that reversibly catalyzes the oxidation of reduced lipoyl substrates with the reduction of NAD(+) to NADH. In vivo, the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase component (E3) is associated with the pyruvate, α-ketoglutarate, and glycine dehydrogenase complexes. The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex connects the glycolytic flux to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is central to the regulation of primary metabolism. Regulation of PDH via regulation of the E3 component by the NAD(+)/NADH ratio represents one of the important physiological control mechanisms of PDH activity. Furthermore, previous experiments with the isolated E3 component have demonstrated the importance of pH in dictating NAD(+)/NADH ratio effects on enzymatic activity. Here, we show that a three-state mechanism that represents the major redox states of the enzyme and includes a detailed representation of the active-site chemistry constrained by both equilibrium and thermodynamic loop constraints can be used to model regulatory NAD(+)/NADH ratio and pH effects demonstrated in progress-curve and initial-velocity data sets from rat, human, Escherichia coli, and spinach enzymes. Global fitting of the model provides stable predictions to the steady-state distributions of enzyme redox states as a function of lipoamide/dihydrolipoamide, NAD(+)/NADH, and pH. These distributions were calculated using physiological NAD(+)/NADH ratios representative of the diverse organismal sources of E3 analyzed in this study. This mechanistically detailed, thermodynamically constrained, pH-dependent model of E3 provides a stable platform on which to accurately model multicomponent enzyme complexes that implement E3 from a variety of organisms.

Abstract
During the stringent response, Escherichia coli enzyme RelA produces the ppGpp alarmone, which in turn regulates transcription, translation and replication. We show that ppGpp dramatically increases the turnover rate of its own ribosome-dependent synthesis by RelA, resulting in direct positive regulation of an enzyme by its product. Positive allosteric regulation therefore constitutes a new mechanism of enzyme activation. By integrating the output of individual RelA molecules and ppGpp degradation pathways, this regulatory circuit contributes to a fast and coordinated transition to stringency.

Abstract
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) is a multifunctional protein well characterized as the E3 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. Previously, conditions predicted to destabilize the DLD dimer revealed that DLD could also function as a diaphorase and serine protease. However, the relevance of these cryptic activities remained undefined. We analyzed human DLD mutations linked to strikingly different clinical phenotypes, including E340K, D444V, R447G, and R460G in the dimer interface domain that are responsible for severe multisystem disorders of infancy and G194C in the NAD(+)-binding domain that is typically associated with milder presentations. In vitro, all of these mutations decreased to various degrees dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity, whereas dimer interface mutations also enhanced proteolytic and/or diaphorase activity. Human DLD proteins carrying each individual mutation complemented fully the respiratory-deficient phenotype of yeast cells lacking endogenous DLD even when residual dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity was as low as 21% of controls. However, under elevated oxidative stress, expression of DLD proteins with dimer interface mutations greatly accelerated the loss of respiratory function, resulting from enhanced oxidative damage to the lipoic acid cofactor of pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and other mitochondrial targets. This effect was not observed with the G194C mutation or a mutation that disrupts the proteolytic active site of DLD. As in yeast, lipoic acid cofactor was damaged in human D444V-homozygous fibroblasts after exposure to oxidative stress. We conclude that the cryptic activities of DLD promote oxidative damage to neighboring molecules and thus contribute to the clinical severity of DLD mutations.

Abstract
Arsenic is a ubiquitous environmental poison that inhibits root elongation and seed germination to a variable extent depending on the plant species. To understand the molecular mechanisms of arsenic resistance, a genetic screen was developed to isolate arsenate overly sensitive (aos) mutants from an activation-tagged Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) population. Three aos mutants were isolated, and the phenotype of each was demonstrated to be due to an identical disruption of plastidial LIPOAMIDE DEHYDROGENASE1 (ptLPD1), a gene that encodes one of the two E3 isoforms found in the plastidial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. In the presence of arsenate, ptlpd1-1 plants exhibited reduced root and shoot growth and enhanced anthocyanin accumulation compared with wild-type plants. The ptlpd1-1 plants accumulated the same amount of arsenic as wild-type plants, indicating that the aos phenotype was not due to increased arsenate in the tissues but to an increase in the innate sensitivity to the poison. Interestingly, a ptlpd1-4 knockdown allele produced a partial aos phenotype. Two loss-of-function alleles of ptLPD2 in Arabidopsis also caused elevated arsenate sensitivity, but the sensitivity was less pronounced than for the ptlpd1 mutants. Moreover, both the ptlpd1 and ptlpd2 mutants were more sensitive to arsenite than wild-type plants, and the LPD activity in isolated chloroplasts from wild-type plants was sensitive to arsenite but not arsenate. These findings show that the ptLPD isoforms are critical in vivo determinants of arsenite-mediated arsenic sensitivity in Arabidopsis and possible strategic targets for increasing arsenic tolerance.

Abstract
Spermatozoa are cells distinctly different from other somatic cells of the body, capacitation being one of the unique phenomena manifested by this gamete. We have shown earlier that dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, a post-pyruvate metabolic enzyme, undergoes capacitation-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation, and the functioning of the enzyme is required for hyperactivation (enhanced motility) and acrosome reaction of hamster spermatozoa (Mitra, K., and Shivaji, S. (2004) Biol. Reprod. 70, 887-899). In this report we have investigated the localization of this mitochondrial enzyme in spermatozoa revealing non-canonical extra-mitochondrial localization of the enzyme in mammalian spermatozoa. In hamster spermatozoa, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase along with its host complex, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, are localized in the acrosome and in the principal piece of the sperm flagella. The localization of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, however, appears to be in the mitochondria in the spermatocytes, but in spermatids it appears to show a juxtanuclear localization (like Golgi). The capacitation-dependent time course of tyrosine phosphorylation of dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase appears to be different in the principal piece of the flagella and the acrosome in hamster spermatozoa. Activity assays of this bi-directional enzyme suggest a strong correlation between the tyrosine phosphorylation and the bi-directional enzyme activity. This is the first report of a direct correlation of the localization, tyrosine phosphorylation, and activity of the important metabolic enzyme, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, implicating dual involvement and regulation of the enzyme during sperm capacitation.

Abstract
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLDH; EC 1.8.1.4) from porcine heart is capable of using nitric oxide (NO) as an electron acceptor, with NADH as the electron donor, forming nitrate in the reaction. NADPH was not effective as an electron donor. The reaction had a pH optimum near 6 and was not inhibited by cyanide or diphenyleneiodonium ions. The Km for NADH was 10 microM, while that for NO was 0.5 microM. The rate of NO conversion was comparable to the rate of lipoamide conversion (200 micromol min(-1) mg(-1) protein at pH 6). Cytochrome c or myoglobin were poor electron acceptors by themselves but, in the presence of methylene blue, DLDH had an activity of 5-7 micromol min(-1) mg(-1) protein with these substrates, indicating that DLDH can act also as a methemoglobin reductase. While the Km of DLDH for NO is relatively low, it is in the physiological range of NO levels encountered in the tissue. The enzyme may, therefore, have a significant role in modifying NO levels under specific cell conditions.

Abstract
Enzymatic reduction of physiological Fe(III) complexes of the "labile iron pool" has not been studied so far. By use of spectrophotometric assays based on the oxidation of NAD(P)H and formation of [Fe(II) (1,10-phenanthroline)3]2+ as well as by utilizing electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry, it was demonstrated that the NAD(P)H-dependent flavoenzyme lipoyl dehydrogenase (diaphorase, EC 1.8.1.4) effectively catalyzes the one-electron reduction of Fe(III) complexes of citrate, ATP, and ADP at the expense of the co-enzymes NAD(P)H. Deactivated or inhibited lipoyl dehydrogenase did not reduce the Fe(III) complexes. Likewise, in the absence of NAD(P)H or in the presence of NAD(P)+, Fe(III) reduction could not be detected. The fact that reduction also occurred in the absence of molecular oxygen as well as in the presence of superoxide dismutase proved that the Fe(III) reduction was directly linked to the enzymatic activity of lipoyl dehydrogenase and not mediated by O2. Kinetic studies revealed different affinities of lipoyl dehydrogenase for the reduction of the low molecular weight Fe(III) complexes in the relative order Fe(III)-citrate > Fe(III)-ATP > Fe(III)-ADP (half-maximal velocities at 346-485 microm). These Fe(III) complexes were enzymatically reduced also by other flavoenzymes, namely glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2), cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.99.3), and cytochrome P450 reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) with somewhat lower efficacy. The present data suggest a (patho)physiological role for lipoyl dehydrogenase and other flavoenzymes in intracellular iron metabolism.

Abstract
Properties of recombinant wild type (WT) and six-histidine tag-fused (His(6)) putidaredoxin reductase (Pdr), a FAD-containing component of the soluble cytochrome P450cam monooxygenase system from Pseudomonas putida, have been studied. Both WT and His(6) Pdr were found to undergo a monomer-dimer association-dissociation and were partially present as an NAD(+)-bound form. Although molecular, spectral, and electron transferring properties of recombinant His(6) Pdr to artificial and native electron acceptors were similar to those of the WT protein, the presence of eight additional C-terminal amino acid residues, Pro-Arg-His-His-His-His-His-His, had a crucial effect on the enzyme interaction with oxidized pyridine nucleotide. Under anaerobic conditions, NAD(+) induced in His(6) Pdr spectral changes indicative of flavin reduction and formation of the charge transfer complex between the reduced FAD and NAD(+). The reaction proceeded considerably faster in the presence of free histidine and thiol-reducing agents, such as dithiothreitol and reduced glutathione. In the presence of any of these three reagents, NAD(+) was capable of inducing reduction of the flavin in WT Pdr. Free thiol groups were identified as an internal source of electrons in the enzyme. The results showed that WT and His(6) Pdr were able to function as NAD(H)-dependent dithiol/disulfide oxidoreductases catalyzing both forward and reverse reactions, NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of thiols, and NADH-dependent reduction of disulfides. This function of the flavoprotein can be dissociated from electron transfer to putidaredoxin. Similarity of Pdr to the enzymes of the glutathione reductase family is discussed.

Abstract
Intracellular free Zn(2+) is elevated in a variety of pathological conditions, including ischemia-reperfusion injury and Alzheimer's disease. Impairment of mitochondrial respiration is also associated with these pathological conditions. To test whether elevated Zn(2+) and impaired respiration might be linked, respiration of isolated rat liver mitochondria was measured after addition of Zn(2+). Zn(2+) inhibition (K(i)(app) = approximately 1 micrometer) was observed for respiration stimulated by alpha-ketoglutarate at concentrations well within the range of intracellular Zn(2+) reported for cultured hepatocytes. The bc(1) complex is inhibited by Zn(2+) (Link, T. A., and von Jagow, G. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 25001-25006). However, respiration stimulated by succinate (K(i)(app) = approximately 6 micrometer) was less sensitive to Zn(2+), indicating the existence of a mitochondrial target for Zn(2+) upstream from bc(1) complex. Purified pig heart alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex was strongly inhibited by Zn(2+) (K(i)(app) = 0.37 +/- 0.05 micrometer). Glutamate dehydrogenase was more resistant (K(i)(app) = 6 micrometer), malate dehydrogenase was unaffected, and succinate dehydrogenase was stimulated by Zn(2+). Zn(2+) inhibition of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex required enzyme cycling and was reversed by EDTA. Reversibility was inversely related to the duration of exposure and the concentration of Zn(2+). Physiological free Zn(2+) may modulate hepatic mitochondrial respiration by reversible inhibition of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. In contrast, extreme or chronic elevation of intracellular Zn(2+) could contribute to persistent reductions in mitochondrial respiration that have been observed in Zn(2+)-rich diseased tissues.

Abstract
A mathematical model of phase I melanogenesis is described based on the differential reactivity of tyrosinase according to the redox status of the active site copper atoms shown by Lerch and co-workers (see Lerch, 1981, Metal Ions in Biological Systems (Sigel, H., ed.) Vol. 13, pp. 143-186. New York: Marcel Dekker) in combination with the indirect formation of the catecholic intermediate substrate. In this model the unusual autoactivation kinetics of tyrosinase are explained by recruitment of enzyme from the met -form, in which the active-site copper atoms are in the oxidized (Cu(II)) state, by 2-electron donation from catechol oxidation. Using estimates of the values for the rate constants of the six reactions involved, the general characteristics of the model are shown to be consistent with the kinetic behaviour of tyrosinase in vitro. These include a lag period which is sensitive to catechol addition.

Abstract
Lipoamide dehydrogenase was purified around 22-fold relative to the crude extracts of Streptomyces seoulensis with an overall yield of 9. 5%. The enzyme was composed of two identical subunits with a molecular mass of 54 kDa and contained 1 mol of FAD per mol of subunit. The absorption spectra of the enzyme revealed the absorption maxima of flavoprotein at 272, 349, and 457 nm. Catalytically active two-electron reduced lipoamide dehydrogenase was produced by anaerobic reduction with one equivalent of NADH. Addition of excess amount of NADH led to the four-electron reduced lipoamide dehydrogenase. The reaction of the enzyme in the reduction reaction of lipoamide or lipoic acid could be explained by a ping-pong mechanism like many other lipoamide dehydrogenases reported earlier. The enzyme also catalysed the reduction of various quinone compounds with NADH as electron donor via a ping-pong mechanism. The enzyme can catalyse a single electron transfer in case of quinone-reducing process, evidenced by the production of 1, 4-naphthosemiquinone radical anion. The quinone-reducing activity of the enzyme was dramatically inhibited by NAD+, indicating the involvement of four-electron reduced form. The structural gene for the enzyme was cloned using a DNA fragment PCR-amplified with the primers designed from N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences. The deduced amino acid sequence shared striking similarity with those of lipoamide dehydrogenases from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The gene was named lpd. All tested Streptomyces contained one homologue of the lpd gene, which is consistent with the fact that most organisms contain only one lipoamide dehydrogenase.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the overexpression and single-step purification of recombinant wild-type and site-directed mutants of human dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli and detailed spectroscopic studies aimed at understanding the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme. One mutation (K37E) has been identified in a patient lacking dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity and has been reported previously (Liu, T.-C., Kim, H., Arizmendi, C., Kitano, A., and Patel, M. S. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 90, 5186-5190), while the other two mutations were previously generated specifically to address the role of the active-site base (His-452) and its ion pair (Glu-457). Circular dichroic and fluorescence spectroscopic data illustrate the role of these amino acids in maintaining the structure and function of human dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. While mutant H452Q is severely crippled in catalysis of the physiological reaction, the reverse reaction is affected in the E457Q mutant. The K37E mutant shows very little deviation from the wild-type enzyme.

Abstract
We have described the most commonly used assay procedures determination of the DHLipDH activities from prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. We have also described the procedures for the preparation of tissue extracts to determine the enzymatic activity. We have briefly alluded to the problems inherent in these assay procedures and suggested some precautions for using the assays to determine DHLipDH activity. We have also included a statement about the purification procedures and described some of the properties of this enzyme, which might help the reader in planning studies. We have, by no means, attempted to be comprehensive in this regard; therefore, the reader should consult the appropriate references (and references therein).

Abstract
The 10 C-terminal residues are not visible in the crystal structure of lipoamide dehydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii, but can be observed in the crystal structures of the lipoamide dehydrogenases from Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescens. In these structures, the C-terminus folds back towards the active site and is involved in interactions with the other subunit. The function of the C-terminus of lipoamide dehydrogenase from A. vinelandii was studied by deletion of 5, 9 and 14 residues, respectively. Deletion of the last 5 residues does not influence the catalytic properties and conformational stability (thermoinactivation and unfolding by guanidinium hydrochloride). Removal of 9 residues results in an enzyme (enzyme delta 9) showing decreased conformational stability and high sensitivity toward inhibition by NADH. These features are even more pronounced after deletion of 14 residues (enzyme delta 14). In addition Tyr16, conserved in all lipoamide dehydrogenases sequenced thus far, and shown from the other structures to be likely to be involved in subunit interaction, was replaced by Phe and Ser. Mutation of Tyr16 also results in a strongly increased sensitivity toward inhibition by NADH. The conformational stability of both Tyr16-mutated enzymes is comparable to enzyme delta 9. The results strongly indicate that a hydrogen bridge between tyrosine of one subunit (Tyr16 in the A. vinelandii sequence) and histidine of the other subunit (His470 in the A. vinelandii sequence), exists in the A. vinelandii enzyme. In the delta 9 and delta 14 enzymes this interaction is abolished. It is concluded that this interaction mediates the redox properties of the FAD via the conformation of the C-terminus containing residues 450-470.

Abstract
Three amino acid residues in the active site of lipoamide dehydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii were replaced with other residues. His450, the active-site base, was replaced with Ser, Tyr or Phe. Pro451, from X-ray analysis found to be in cis conformation positioning the backbone carbonyl of His450 close to N3 of the flavin, was changed to Ala. Glu455, from X-ray analysis expected to be involved in modulating the pKa of the base (His450), was replaced with Asp and Gln. The general conclusion is that mutation of the His-Glu diad impairs intramolecular electron transfer between the disulfide/dithiol and the FADH-/FAD. The wild-type enzyme functions according to a ping-pong mechanism in the physiological reaction in which the formation of NADH is rate-limiting. Above pH 8.0 the enzyme is strongly inhibited by the product NADH. The pH dependence of the steady-state kinetics using the NAD+ analog 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide (AcPyAde+) reveals a pKa of 8.1 in the pKm AcPyAde+ plot indicating that this pKa is related to the deprotonation of His450 [Benen, J., Berkel van, W., Zak, Z., Visser, T., Veeger, C. & Kok de, A. (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 202, 863-872] and to the inhibition by NADH. The mutations considerably affect turnover. Enzymes with the mutations Pro451----Ala, His450----Phe and His450----Tyr appear to be almost inactive in both directions. Enzyme His450----Ser is minimally active, V at the pH optimum being 0.5% of wild-type activity in the physiological reaction. Rapid reaction kinetics show that for the His450-mutated enzymes the reductive half reaction using reduced 6,8-thioctic acid amide [Lip(SH)2] is rate-limiting and extremely slow when compared using reduced 6,8-thioctic acid amide [Lip(SH)2] is rate-limiting and extremely slow when compared to the wild-type enzyme. For enzyme Pro451----Ala it is concluded that the loss of activity is due to over-reduction by Lip(SH)2 and NADH. The Glu455-mutated enzymes are catalytically competent but show strong inhibition by the product NADH (enzyme Glu455----Asp more than Glu455----Gln). The inhibition can largely be overcome by using AcPyAde+ instead of NAD+ in the physiological reaction. The rapid reaction kinetics obtained for enzymes Glu455----Asp and Glu455----Gln deviate from the wild-type enzyme. It is concluded that this difference is due to cooperativity between the active sites in this dimeric enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The conformational stability of holo-lipoamide and apo-lipoamide dehydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii was studied by thermoinactivation, unfolding and limited proteolysis. The oxidized holoenzyme is thermostable, showing a melting temperature, tm = 80 degrees C. The thermal stability of the holoenzyme drastically decreases upon reduction. Unlike the oxidized and lipoamide two-electron reduced enzyme species, the NADH four-electron reduced enzyme is highly sensitive to unfolding by urea. Loss of energy transfer from Trp199 to flavin reflects the unfolding of the oxidized holoenzyme by guanidine hydrochloride. Unfolding of the monomeric apoenzyme is a rapid fully reversible process, following a simple two-state mechanism. The oxidized and two-electron reduced holoenzyme are resistant to limited proteolysis by trypsin and endoproteinase Glu-C. Upon cleavage of the apoenzyme or four-electron reduced holoenzyme by both proteases, large peptide fragments (molecular mass greater than 40 kDa) are transiently produced. Sequence studies show that limited trypsinolysis of the NADH-reduced enzyme starts mainly at the C-terminus of Arg391. In the apoenzyme, limited proteolysis by endoproteinase Glu-C starts from the C-terminus at the carboxyl ends of Glu459 and/or Glu435. From crystallographic data it is deduced that the susceptible amino acid peptide bonds are situated near the subunit interface. Thus, these bonds are inaccessible to the proteases in the dimeric enzyme and become accessible after monomerization. It is concluded that reduction of lipoamide dehydrogenase to the four-electron reduced state(s) is accompanied by conformational changes promoting subunit dissociation.

Abstract
Three amino acid residues in the active site of lipoamide dehydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii were replaced by other residues. His450, the active-site base, was changed into Ser, Tyr and Phe. Pro451, in cis conformation, was changed into Ala. Glu455 was replaced with Asp and Gln. Absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy of the mutated enzymes in their oxidized state (Eox) showed only minor changes with respect to the wild-type enzyme, whereas considerable changes were observed in the spectra of the two-electron-reduced (EH2) species of the enzymes upon reduction by the substrate dihydrolipoamide. Differences in extent of reduction of the flavin by NADH indicate that the redox potential of the flavin is altered by the mutations. Enzyme Pro451----Ala [corrected] showed the greatest deviation from wild type. The enzyme is very easily over-reduced to the four-electron reduced state (EH4) by dihydrolipoamide. This is probably due to a change in the backbone conformation caused by the cis-trans conversion. From studies on the pH dependence of the thiolate charge-transfer absorption and the relative fluorescence of EH2 of the enzymes, it is concluded that mutation of His450 results in a relatively simple and easily interpreted distribution of electronic species at the EH2 level. For all three His450-mutated enzymes an apparent pKa1 near 5.5 is calculated that is assigned to the interchange thiol. A second apparent pKa2 is calculated of 6.9, 7.5 and 7.1 for the His450----Phe, -Ser and -Tyr enzymes, respectively, and signifies the deprotonation of the tautomeric equilibrium between the interchange and charge-transfer thiols. The difference in apparent pKa2 values between the His450-mutated enzymes is explained by changes in micropolarity. At the EH2 level the wild-type enzyme consists of multiple electronic forms as reported for the Escherichia coli enzyme [Wilkinson, K. D. and Williams C. H. Jr (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 852-862]. Based on the results obtained with the His450-mutated enzymes, it is concluded that the lowest pKa is associated with the interchange thiol. A model for the equilibrium species of the wild-type enzyme at the EH2 level is presented which takes three pKa values into account. The results of the pH dependence of the electronic species at the EH2 level of Glu455-mutated enzymes essentially follow the model proposed for the wild-type enzyme. However mutation of Glu455 shifts the tautomeric equilibrium of EH2 in favor of the charge-transfer species.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The apoenzymes of lipoamide dehydrogenase from pig heart and from Pseudomonas fluorescens were prepared at pH 2.7 and pH 4.0, respectively, using a hydrophobic interaction chromatography procedure recently developed for lipoamide dehydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii and other flavoproteins [Van Berkel et al. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 178, 197-207]. The apoenzyme from pig heart, having 5% of residual activity, shows an equilibrium between the monomeric and dimeric species. Both the yield and the degree of reconstitution of dimeric holoenzyme is 75% of starting material under optimal conditions. The kinetics of reconstitution of pig heart apoenzyme differ slightly from that obtained with the apoenzyme prepared by acid ammonium sulfate precipitation at pH 1.5 [Kalse, J. F. and Veeger, C. (1968) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 159, 244-256]. The apoenzyme from P. fluorescens is in the monomeric state and shows negligible residual activity. The yield and degree of reconstitution of the dimeric holoenzyme is more than 90% of starting material. Reconstitution of the apoenzymes from A. vinelandii and P. fluorescens involves minimally a two-step sequential process. Initial flavin-binding results in regaining of full dichloroindophenol activity, quenching of tryptophan fluorescence and strong increase of FAD fluorescence polarization. In the second step, dimerization occurs as reflected by regain of lipoamide activity, strongly increased FAD fluorescence and increased hyperchroism of the visible absorption spectrum. The kinetics of FAD-induced dimerization are strongly dependent on the apoenzyme used. At 0 degrees C, the monomeric apoenzyme-FAD complex is either stabilized (P. fluorescens) or only transiently detectable (A. vinelandii). Dimerization of P. fluorescens enzyme is strongly stimulated in the presence of NADH.

Abstract
The reaction of NADPH with the flavoenzyme mercuric reductase has been studied by rapid-scan stopped-flow spectrophotometry at 5 degrees C in the pH range 5.1-9.5. An intermediate formed within the dead time of the apparatus, and proposed to be an NADPH complex of oxidized enzyme, has an almost pH-independent spectrum. At pH 5.1 the formation of this species is followed by a rapid bleaching (k = 145 s-1) of the main flavin absorption band at 455 nm concomitantly with an absorbance increase around 395 nm. This process, which has a kinetic hydrogen isotope effect of 2.4, becomes less prominent at higher pH values and is not detectable above pH 7. It is suggested that this process includes the formation of a covalent thiol-flavin C-4a derivative stabilized by protonation of the active site. In the presence of an excess of NADPH, the final product of the reaction is probably an NADPH complex of two-electron-reduced enzyme, but below pH 6 the final spectrum becomes less intense suggesting a partial formation of four-electron-reduced enzyme. The spectral changes observed above pH 7 are nearly independent of pH. The first measurable step (k = 48 s-1 at pH 9.5) is thought to include the formation of an NADP+ complex of two-electron-reduced enzyme, while the final step (k = 6.3 s-1 at pH 9.5) results in the above-mentioned NADPH complex with two-electron-reduced enzyme. A minimal kinetic scheme rationalizing the observed pH dependence of the reaction and the observed isotope effects is presented.

Abstract
Lipoamide dehydrogenase reacts irreversibly with arsonous acids, RAs(OH)2, and arsonic acids, RAs(O)(OH)2, to form enzyme-inhibitor complexes. The formation of inactive enzyme requires NADH and is kinetically first order in the presence of excess arsonous acid. The second-order rate constant for formation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex was 545 min-1 M-1 for phenylarsonous acid, C6H5As(OH)2, and 5640 min-1 M-1 for methanearsonous acid, CH3As(OH)2. The kinetics of formation of inactive enzyme in the presence of arsonic acids was found to obey a rate law predicted by a two-step mechanism in which a rate-limiting reduction of an arsonic acid to the corresponding arsonous acid by reduced enzyme, E(SH)2, preceded formation of an inactive binary complex of reduced enzyme and arsonous acid: ES2 + NADH + H+ = E(SH)2 + NAD+; E(SH)2 + RAs(O)(OH)2 = ES2 + RAs(OH)2 + H2O; and E(SH)2 + RAs(OH)2 = ES2AsR + 2H2O. GSSG reductase reacts reversibly with C6H5As(OH)2 to form an inactive binary addition compound in the presence of NADPH. The value of the association constant for formation of enzyme inhibitor complex at pH 7.0 was 119 M-1. The initial rate of the GSSG reductase-catalyzed oxidation of NADPH by GSSG was insensitive to MeAs(OH)2. The kinetics of inhibition of GSSG reductase by arsenite and C6H5As(O)(OH)2 were found to obey the rate law described for lipoamide dehydrogenase and arsonic acids. GSSG reductase catalyzed the oxidation of NADPH by p-arsanilic acid. The initial rate of oxidation of NADPH was linearly dependent on enzyme concentration. The turnover number for GSSG reductase with p-arsanilic acid as an oxidant was 0.13 mol NADPH mol FAD-1 min-1.

Abstract
The time course of the overall reaction catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex produces an unexpectedly high lag (tau = 8 S) even in the presence of saturating concentrations of its substrates. The preincubation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex with one of the substrates alone decreases the duration of this lag, and all the substrates of the pyruvate dehydrogenase component (E1) and dihydrolipoyl transacetylase component (E2) together (pyruvate, thiamine pyrophosphate, and CoA) result in the complete disappearance of the lag. The reduction of the dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase component (E3) of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex with the substrates of the complex in the absence of NAD+ produces significantly different quenching in the FAD fluorescence, and then the reduction with the substrates of E3 as dihydrolipoic acid and dithioerythritol. (The formation of FADH2 was not observed in the system.) The higher fluorescence quenching in the presence of substrates of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex compared to the effect caused by the substrates of the E3 component (dihydrolipoic acid and DTE) indicates conformational changes additionally manifested in the fluorescence properties of the enzyme complex. The substrate-induced quenching of the enzyme-bound FAD fluorescence shows biphasic kinetics. The rate constant of the slow phase is comparable with the rate constant calculated from the time duration of the lag phase observed in the overall reaction. The kinetic analysis of both intensity and anisotropy decrease of the FAD fluorescence suggests a consecutive transmittance of an all substrate-coordinated, induced conformational changes directed from the pyruvate dehydrogenase-via the lipoyl transacetylase--to the lipoyl dehydrogenase. Two simultaneous conformational effects caused by binding of the substrates can be distinguished; one of them results the fluorescence of the bound FAD to be more quenched, while the other makes the FAD more mobile. The first-order rate constants of both these conformational changes were determined. The present observations suggest that the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex exists in a partially inactive state in the absence of its substrates, and it becomes active due to conformational changes caused by the binding of its substrates.

Abstract
The kinetic behavior and spectroscopic characteristics of the nucleotide site(s) of lipoamide dehydrogenase have been investigated. Both subunits of the dimeric enzyme interact with NAD+. The binding of NAD+ is associated with a negative trough around 420-450 nm and a positive peak at 507 nm of the difference spectrum. The transhydrogenation between NADH and thionicotinamide nucleotide or acetylpyridine nucleotide is shown to proceed via a Ping Pong or an ordered Bi Bi mechanism, respectively, at pH above 7.0. Lowering pH or acetamidation lose the spectral characteristic of the positive peak of the enzyme-NAD+ complex with a concurrent change in the kinetic mechanism in the NADH+-acetylpyridine nucleotide transhydrogenation.

Abstract
In this study di-n-butyltindichloride (DBTC) was found to inhibit alpha-ketoacid-stimulated response of rat liver mitochondria to the addition of ADP and the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone (FCCP). The alpha-ketoglutarate oxidation was already inhibited at a level of 0.8 nmol DBTC/mg protein. When succinate was used as substrate together with rotenone, the State 3 and FCCP stimulated oxidation were not inhibited by DBTC. But from a level of 8.3 nmol DBTC/mg protein, the State 4 respiration was increased. It is concluded that in low amounts DBTC specifically blocks alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenases, but higher concentrations of this compound uncouples oxidative phosphorylation. However, this uncoupling will be masked when the NADH production from substrate oxidation is decreased by DBTC as will be in case of alpha-ketoacids.

Abstract
The aldehyde specificity of xanthine oxidase (xanthine:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.3.2) has been reinvestigated. The biogenic aldehydes and succinate semialdehyde are reasonable substrates for xanthine oxidase. Pyrophosphate, which binds to xanthine oxidase, does not seem to affect significantly the enzyme's catalytic activity. The steady-state parameters for the oxidation of several substrates by xanthine oxidase and oxygen have been determined. Formaldehyde differs from xanthine and other aldehydes in phi 2, the parameter describing the reaction with oxygen. Substrate inhibition has been studied at high concentrations of xanthine with oxygen as the electron acceptor. The inhibition is hyperbolic and uncompetitive with respect to oxygen. This is possibly due to rate-limiting product release from molybdenum(IV) being slower than from molybdenum(VI).

Abstract
Effects of NaOH-PIPES buffer used as a vehicle for aldehyde fixative on alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity demonstrated cyto- and biochemically were compared with those of routinely used cacodylate buffer. The reaction products showing ALPase activity demonstrated ultracytochemically were confined to the bile canalicular membranes when cacodylate buffer (0.1 M) was used. However, when PIPES buffer (0.03 M or 0.1 M) was used, the activity was observed on whole membranes of hepatocytes. The activities of the sinusoidal, lateral and bile canalicular membranes were completely suppressed by an addition of 2.5 mM levamisole. Moreover, the same results were obtained when HEPES or low concentration of cacodylate buffer (0.01 M) was used. Biochemical estimation revealed that much higher activity was retained when PIPES or HEPES buffer was used as compared with that when cacodylate buffer was used. Maximum preservation of ALPase activity was obtained when PIPES buffer was used. Cacodylate buffer showed an inhibitory effect on the hepatic ALPase activity in proportion to the buffer concentration. In conclusion, PIPES buffer preserves the alkaline phosphatase activity much better and is a better vehicle for the aldehyde fixatives in alkaline phosphatase cytochemistry.

Abstract
We purified lipoamide dehydrogenase from cells of Pseudomonas putida PpG2 grown on glucose (LPD-glu) and lipoamide dehydrogenase from cells grown on valine (LPD-val), which contained branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase. LPD-glu had a molecular weight of 56,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and LPD-val had a molecular weight of 49,000. The pH optimum for LPD-glu for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidation was 7.4, compared with pH 6.5 for LPD-val. When oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide was included in the assay mixture, the pH optima were 7.1 and 5.7, respectively. There was also a difference in pH optima between the two enzymes for oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduction, but the Michaelis constants and maximum velocities were similar. A purified preparation of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which was deficient in lipoamide dehydrogenase, was stimulated 10-fold by LPD-val but not by LPD-glu, which suggested that the branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase of P. putida has a specific requirement for LPD-val. In contrast, a partially purified preparation of 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase that was deficient in lipoamide dehydrogenase was stimulated by LPD-glu but not by LPD-val, indicating that this complex has a specific requirement of LPD-glu.

Abstract
Two-electron reduced glutathione reductase from yeast reacted with iodoacetamide is alkylated almost exclusively in the nascent thiol nearer the amino terminus of the protein. The charge-transfer absorbance, maximal at 530 nm, characteristic of the two-electron reduced enzyme is not lost as the alkylation proceeds, and the product has a spectrum virtually identical with that of the two-electron reduced enzyme. This observation demonstrates that the thiol alkylated is not the charge-transfer-donor thiolate which interacts with the FAD. The spectrum of the monoalkylated derivative is stable in the presence of oxidized glutathione, indicating that the charge-transfer-donor thiol is not involved in interchange with the substrate in the native enzyme. Thus, the nascent thiols produced upon two-electron reduction of glutathione reductase have distinct functions, interchange with the substrate and interaction with the FAD. Treatment of the monoalkylated derivative with the apolar phenylmercuric acetate eliminates the charge-transfer interaction. The spectrum of the resulting species is similar to that of the oxidized enzyme but less resolved and blue shifted by 10 nm. The dependence on pH of the absorbance associated with the thiolate to FAD charge-transfer interaction in native two-electron reduced glutathione reductase is biphasic, with pK values at approximately 4.8 and 7.4. By analogy with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and papain, these data indicate that the thiolate is stabilized by an adjacent basic residue. The pK 7.4 is associated with the titration of the base to give the ion pair, and the pK of 4.8 is associated with the titration of the thiolate. Unlike lipoamide dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase is sufficiently stable to allow titration with dithionite at pH 3.7. The spectrum at this pH is essentially the same as that of the monoalkylated derivative treated with phenylmercuric acetate. The changes with pH are completely reversible.
