Alkylation at the active site of the D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH), a membrane phospholipid-dependent enzyme, by 3-chloroacetyl pyridine ad…
1997
The structure of the rat liver's D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) active site has been investigated using an affinity alkylating reagent, the 3-chloroacetyl pyridine adenine dinucleotide (3-CAPAD). This NAD+ analogue reagent strongly inactivates the enzyme following a concentration- and time-dependent process with a stoichiometry of approximately 1. The reagent reacts at the coenzyme binding site as revealed by the efficient protection by NADH. The effect of 3-CAPAD is stronger with the enzyme into its natural membrane environment than with the lipid-free purified apoBDH or with the reconstituted apoBDH-mitochondrial phospholipid complex. The pH-dependent effect on the inactivation p…
Purification and characterization of the ?-β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase from dromedary liver mitochondria
2001
Abstract d -β-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) (EC 1.1.1.30), a membrane enzyme, has been purified to homogeneity from dromedary ( Camelus dromedarius ) liver mitochondria. Our new purification method consisted of the solubilization of mitochondrial membranes by Triton X 100 and purification of BDH by two steps: DEAE-Sephacel and Phenyl-Sepharose. The molecular mass of the enzyme subunit size was 67 kDa. The purified enzyme is recognized by anti rat liver mitochondrial BDH antibodies. Furthermore, BDH activity was absolutely dependent upon phospholipids. BDH is also characterized by specific enzymatic parameters: an optimum pH of approximately 8 for the oxidation reaction, and approximat…
Sensitivity of liver metabolism in jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) to ciprofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator.
2009
International audience; Ciprofibrate is a well-known drug used to normalize lipid parameters and fibrinogen in atherosclerosis patients. In laboratory rodents such as rats or mice, ciprofibrate exhibits peroxisome proliferator activity. However, to date, no clear alterations or side effects caused by ciprofibrate have been noted in humans. In order to further investigate such possible relationships, we studied the effects of sustained ciprofibrate treatment in jerboas (Jaculus orientalis). In these rodents, ciprofibrate does not induce hepatomegaly or promote liver cell DNA replication, confirming that this species more closely resembles humans than do rats or mice. The jerboas were treated…
Characterization of two d-β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase populations in heavy and light mitochondria from jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) liver
2005
Mitochondrial membrane-bound and phospholipid-dependent D-beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) (EC 1.1.1.30), a ketone body converting enzyme in mitochondria, has been studied in two populations of mitochondria (heavy and light) of jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) liver. The results reveal significant differences between the BDH of the two mitochondrial populations in terms of protein expression, kinetic parameters and physico-chemical properties. These results suggest that the beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenases from heavy and light mitochondria are isoform variants. These differences in BDH distribution could be the consequence of cell changes in the lipid composition of the inner mitochon…
Prehibernation and hibernation effects on the D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase of the heavy and light mitochondria from liver jerboa (Jaculus orient…
2007
The D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) (EC 1.1.1.30) from liver jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a ketone body converting enzyme in mitochondria, in two populations of mitochondria (heavy and light) has been studied in different jerboa states (euthermic, prehibernating and hibernating). The results reveal: (1) important variations between states in terms of ketones bodies, glucose and lipid levels; (2) significant differences between the BDH of the two mitochondrial populations in term of protein expression and kinetic properties. These results suggest that BDH leads an important conformational change depending on the physiological state of jerboa. This BDH structural change could be the c…
Post-transcriptional analysis of rat mitochondrial D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase control through development and physiological stages.
1991
Abstract The nuclear encoded mitochondrial D -3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) is synthesized in the cytosal as a larger precursor. This membrane enzyme which requires lecithin for activity plays an essential role in energy metabolism as a ketone bodies-converting enzyme. A cDNA clone of the rat liver enzyme encompassing an antigenic determinant peptide has been isolated after immunoscreening of a λ gt11 expression library. The nucleotide sequence of this 279-base cDNA insert contains a single open reading frame of 93 amino-acids, which represents about a third of the mature enzyme. Amino-acid sequence analysis predicts a hydrophobic stretch of 29 amino-acids long which probably functi…
Hibernation impact on the catalytic activities of the mitochondrial D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase in liver and brain tissues of jerboa (Jaculus o…
2003
Abstract Background Jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) is a deep hibernating rodent native to subdesert highlands. During hibernation, a high level of ketone bodies i.e. acetoacetate (AcAc) and D-3-hydroxybutyrate (BOH) are produced in liver, which are used in brain as energetic fuel. These compounds are bioconverted by mitochondrial D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) E.C. 1.1.1.30. Here we report, the function and the expression of BDH in terms of catalytic activities, kinetic parameters, levels of protein and mRNA in both tissues i.e brain and liver, in relation to the hibernating process. Results We found that: 1/ In euthemic jerboa the specific activity in liver is 2.4- and 6.4- fold high…
Action of metyrapone on the redox state of free nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and on oxygen consumption of perfused rat livers and isolated mitoc…
1971
Metyrapone [2-methyl-1,2-bis-(3-pyridyl)-1-propanone] in a concentration of 5 mM increased the lactate/pyruvate ratio and theΒ-hydroxybutyrate/ acetoacetate ratio in the perfusion fluid of the isolated rat liver by a factor of 6 indicating a considerable shift in the ratio of free [NAD]/[NADH] in both the cytoplasmic and the mitochondrial compartment. Oxygen uptake of the isolated liver was decreased to about one half. The onset of the inhibitory effect on the respiration of the isolated organ was immediate. The inhibition lasted for at least 1 h.
Enzym-histochemische Studien am cervicalen Dr�senfeld des Uterus
1972
Durch enzym-histochemische Untersuchungen an Cervices soll Einblick in den Stoffwechsel des cervicalen Drusenfeldes gewonnen werden. Hierfur wurden insbesondere die Enzyme des Glucosestoffwechsels, der Fettsaureoxydation, des Pentosephosphatstoffwechsels, des Citronensaurecyclus sowie des NADH- und NADPH-Diaphorese-Systems und des Aminosaurestoffwechsels untersucht. Die einheitliche Nachweistechnik erlaubt in Form eines Art Screening-Tests eine Information uber die vorhandenen Aktivitaten der einzelnen Enzyme, wobei — abgesehen von einem Enzym des Glucosestoffwechsels, namlich der Alkoholdehydrogenase und des Aminosaurestoffwechsels, der Glutamatdehydrogenase — alle Fermente nachgewiesen we…
