Abstract
Escherichia coli strains with mutations in 3 genes coding for redox functions--torA, nuoM and glpC--are able to grow with pyruvate as carbon source, but are not able to use a combination of serine, glycine and leucine as carbon source, unlike the parent strain which uses either. All three mutants are able to produce and activate L-serine deaminase (L-SD) when grown in glucose minimal medium, and thus should be able to convert serine to pyruvate and grow on it. We suggest that activation of L-SD involves specific chemical reactions, perhaps building an Fe-S cluster. Mutant cells can carry out the necessary reaction to activate L-SD when grown in glucose minimal medium but apparently cannot do so when grown in SGL medium.

Abstract
Single crystals of D-serine dehydratase from Escherichia coli complexed with 3-amino-2-hydroxypropionate have been obtained from ammonium sulfate solution (pH 7.0) by vapor diffusion. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P3(1) or P3(2) with a = b = 81.3 A and c = 58.4 A. The asymmetric unit cell contains one protein molecule with Mr = 48,289. The crystals diffract to at least 3.0 A resolution and are suitable for X-ray structure analysis.

Abstract
The enzymatic methods for plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) assay using L-tyrosine apodecarboxylase (apo-LTD) and D-serine apodehydratase (apo-DSD) were compared with respect to their operating characteristics, accuracy and precision. With the apo-LTD assay, the recovery of authentic PLP added to irradiated plasma was 96-100% and the precision for within-run and run-to-run replicates was 4-5% (coefficient of variation). The recovery of authentic PLP with the apo-DSD assay tended to be lower (viz., 95%) and the within-run and run-to-run coefficients of variation tended to be higher (viz., 5-6%), but these differences were not statistically significant. When these two assay methods were directly compared in determining the plasma PLP levels of 67 hospitalized patients, the regression lines exhibited correlation coefficients of 0.89 and 0.92 and slopes of 0.77 and 0.78, respectively. When the plasma PLP values were less than 7.5 ng/ml, the values determined by the apo-DSD assay tended to be higher than those measured by the apo-LTD method and vice versa. The lack of better agreement between the two assay methods may be explained by the fact that an inhibitor exists in plasma extracts that impairs the binding of PLP to apo-DSD and that the correction for this interference may not be uniform from one plasma sample to another. However, if one is willing to tolerate the small discrepancies between the values obtained by the apo-DSD and apo-LTD assays, these assay methods can be used interchangeably. The apo-DSD assay has the advantage of being easily adapted to a modern automated spectrophotometric centrifugal analyzer.

Abstract
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate labeled to the extent of 90% with 13C in the 4' (aldehyde) and 5' (methylene) positions has been synthesized. 13C NMR spectra of this material and of natural abundance pyridoxal 5'-phosphate are reported, as well as 13C NMR spectra of the Schiff base formed by reaction of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate with n-butylamine, the secondary amine formed by reduction of this Schiff base, the thiazolidine formed by reaction of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate with cysteine, the hexahydropyrimidine formed by reaction of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate with 1,3-diaminobutane, and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate. The range of chemical shifts for carbon 4' in these compounds is more than 100 ppm, and thus this chemical shift is expected to be a sensitive indicator of structure in enzyme-bound pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The chemical shift of carbon 5', on the other hand, is insensitive to these structure changes. 13C NMR spectra have been obtained at pH 7.8 and 9.4 for D-serine dehydratase (Mr = 46,000) containing natural abundance pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and containing 13C-enriched pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The enriched material contains two new resonances not present in the natural abundance material, one at 167.7 ppm with a linewidth of approximately 24 Hz, attributed to carbon 4' of the Schiff base in the bound coenzyme, and one at 62.7 Hz with a linewidth of approximately 48 Hz attributed to carbon 5' of the bound Schiff base. A large number of resonances due to individual amino acids are assigned. The NMR spectrum changes only slightly when the pH is raised to 9.4. The widths of the two enriched coenzyme resonances indicate that the coenzyme is rather rigidly bound to the enzyme but probably has limited motional freedom relative to the protein. 13C NMR spectra have been obtained for L-glutamate decarboxylase containing natural abundance pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and 13C-enriched pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Under conditions where the two enriched 13C resonances are clearly visible in D-serine dehydratase, no resonances are visible in enriched L-glutamate decarboxylase, presumably because the coenzyme is rigidly bound to the protein and the 300,000 molecular weight of this enzyme produces very short relaxation times for the bound coenzyme and thus very broad lines.

Abstract
1. Relative rates of enzyme inactivation were measured in liver slices, homogenates and cytosol fractions as well as in the presence of trypsin and at acid pH. The enzymes chosen are all present in the cytosol fraction of rat liver, and have widely different degradation rate constants in vivo. 2. The inactivation rates of lactate dehydrogenase, fructose bisphosphate aldolase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucokinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP), l-serine dehydratase and thymidine kinase in liver preparations at neutral pH are in a similar order to the rate constants of degradation of these enzymes in the intact animal. 3. The two exceptions of this general correlation were tyrosine aminotransferase, which was stable in vitro but not in vivo, and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, which shows the reverse pattern. 4. These findings generally support the concept that the same factors are responsible for enzyme inactivation in vitro as occur in the intact tissue.

Abstract
Tryptophanase from Bacillus alvei also possesses serine dehydratase activity. A comparison of this enzyme with l-serine dehydratase [l-serine hydro-lyase (deaminating), EC 4.2.1.13] in toluene-treated whole cell preparations of the organism was undertaken. Tryptophanase is a constitutive enzyme in B. alvei. The dehydratase undergoes a repression-derepression-repression sequence as the l-serine level in the growth medium is increased from 0 to 0.1 m. Tryptophanase activity is decreased in organisms grown in medium containing glucose. Both enzymes are repressed in organisms grown in glycerol-containing medium. l-Serine dehydratase has a pH optimum of 7.5 in potassium phosphate buffer; tryptophanase functions optimally in this buffer at pH 8.2. Both enzymes lose activity in the presence of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer. Either K(+) or NH(4) (+) is required for full tryptophanase activity, but Na(+) is markedly inhibitory. These three cations are stimulatory to l-serine dehydratase activity. Both enzymes are subject to apparent substrate inhibition at high concentrations of their respective amino acids, but the inhibition of tryptophanase activity can be completely overcome by the removal of indole as it is formed. The dehydratase does not catalyze cleavage of d-serine, l-threonine, or alpha-substituted serine analogues at the concentrations tested. However, activity of the enzyme in cleaving l-serine is competitively inhibited by d-serine, indicating that the d-isomer can occupy an active site on the enzyme. The enzyme catalyzes cleavage of some beta-substituted serine analogues.

Abstract
The effect of dietary fructose on the activities of a number of enzymes was studied in normal, adrenalectomized, and hypophysectomized male Sprague–Dawley rats. The effect of feeding a high-fructose diet on relative liver size, soluble protein, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucomutase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glucose-6-phosphatase was not appreciably altered by endocrinectomy. It appears, therefore, that the fructose effect on these rat liver constituents is not mediated by adrenal or pituitary hormones, although endocrine function may influence enzyme activity. The enzymes which were not particularly affected by either endocrinectomy are those associated with the metabolism of phosphorylated intermediates.The fructose diet increased the activities of L-α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and lactic dehydrogenase to a greater extent after endocrinectomy; therefore, an inhibition of the fructose effect in normal animals by endocrine function was postulated. The effect of feeding fructose on the activities of the pentose-phosphate-metabolizing enzymes and glutaminase was abolished by hypophysectomy. In this case it was postulated that pituitary function is required for the fructose effect as a permissive agent. The fructose-mediated increases of malic enzyme and uridine-diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase were diminished in magnitude after endocrine removal, but not abolished.The activities of the urea-cycle enzymes, transaminases, and serine dehydrase were not increased by fructose feeding. The relationship between the fructose effect and endocrinectomy appeared to be complicated in the case of malic dehydrogenase and fumarase.
