NADP+-activable, NAD+-specific glutamate dehydrogenase
1994
Yang, B. | LeJohn, H.B.
An NAD+-specific glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD-GDH) that is inducible by L-glutamine was isolated from Achlya klebsiana and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme is only partially active in vitro unless NADP+ (an activator) is present in both its oxidative deamination and reductive amination reactions. This type of enzyme was reported (LeJohn, H. B. (1971) Nature 231, 164-168) to be widespread among the amorphous group of algae-related fungi classified as Oomycota. The enzyme retained its dependence on NADP+ at all stages of its purification. NADP+ decreased the Km of substrates 3-fold and increased the Vmax 4-fold. Mr of the undenatured enzyme was 480,000, and, denatured, only a single subunit of Mr 120,000 was seen. A polyclonal antibody raised in rabbit against purified enzyme subunit excised from SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels immunoprecipitated the Mr 120,000 polypeptide, the undenatured enzyme, and a physically distinct polypeptide of Mr 74,000. The antibody, purified against the Mr 120,000 enzyme subunit as anchored antigen on Sepharose, still immunoprecipitated the Mr 74,000 polypeptide. The Mr 74,000 polypeptide was found to be a subunit of a Mr 220,000 native protein.
