ABSTRACT The isozymic patterns of tyrosine aminotransferase, NADP malate dehydrogenase, NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase, and tetrazolium oxidase were examined by starch-gel electrophoresis in Tetrahymena pyriformis, syngen 1. The genetics of the alleles controlling these enzymes was studied through a breeding program. Each enzyme locus was shown to assort vegetatively, as do other loci in this organism. A detailed analysis of the assortment process for the tyrosine aminotransferase locus indicated that the rate of stabilization of heterozygotes into pure types was essentially identical to previously-reported rates for other loci.

When isolated plant mitochondria are heated, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and fumarase lose activity at different rates. The rate of loss of activity of each enzyme is reduced if the mitochondria are heated in the presence of proline, betaine or some other solutes; protection by proline or betaine against heat inactivation is also evident with these enzymes when they are solubilized. NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase in pea mitochondria and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase of pea chloroplasts are also protected by proline and betaine against inactivation when the isolated organelles are heated.

Proline and betaine increased the thermostability of NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41) and of NAD-malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) when mitochondria isolated from pea leaves (Pisum sativum L.), wheat leaves (Triticum aestivum L.) and cauliflower buds (Brassica oleracea L.) were heated. Potassium chloride and choline chloride also increased the thermostability of isocitrate dehydrogenase in the three species, but their effects on malate dehydrogenase varied. Protection was found with both intact and disrupted mitochondria, indicating that it was not dependent on an osmotic effect. Proline and KCl also prolonged membrane integrity, as measured by impermeability to NAD+, during heating of pea leaf and cauliflower bud mitochondria. Phenylalanine reduced the thermostability of isocitrate dehydrogenase, indicating that protection is not a general solute effect.

1. Activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44), isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.1.1.40), and pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) were determined in subcellular fractions of mammary gland from rabbits during pregnancy, at different stages of lactation and during weaning. The results were compared with those obtained in similar experiments with rat mammary gland. 2. Three bases of expression of the activity of enzymes in the particle-free supernatant fraction of mammary gland were compared. During lactation, activity expressed per mg. of particle-free supernatant protein (uncorrected for milk protein) correlated well with that expressed per μg. of DNA phosphorus. The disadvantages of expressing activities per g. wet wt. are discussed. 3. The major differences between the two tissues were: (a) neither malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) nor a soluble form of pyruvate carboxylase could be detected in rabbit mammary gland at any stage of the lactation cycle; (b) isocitrate dehydrogenase increased in activity during lactation in rabbit mammary gland, but not in that of the rat. 4. Pyruvate carboxylase in the mitochondrial fraction of rabbit mammary gland, and in both the mitochondrial and the soluble fractions of rat mammary gland, did not change in activity during lactation. 5. For each tissue, the NADP-dependent dehydrogenases studied had a high activity at all stages of the lactation cycle compared with the rate of fatty acid synthesis at mid-lactation. The significance of these results is discussed with respect to the supply of NADPH via NADH.
