Abstract
Computational methods were used to predict the amino acid sequences and gene locations for mammalian lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) genes and proteins using genome sequence databanks. Human LDHA, LDHC and LDH6A genes were located in tandem on chromosome 11, while LDH6B and LDH6C genes were on chromosomes 15 and 12, respectively. Opossum LDHC and LDH6B genes were located in tandem with the opossum LDHA gene on chromosome 5 and contained 7 (LDHA and LDHC) or 8 (LDH6B) exons. An amino acid sequence prediction for the opossum LDH6B subunit gave an extended N-terminal sequence, similar to the human and mouse LDH6B sequences, which may support the export of this enzyme into mitochondria. The platypus genome contained at least 3 LDH genes encoding LDHA, LDHB and LDH6B subunits. Phylogenetic studies and sequence analyses indicated that LDHA, LDHB and LDH6B genes are present in all mammalian genomes examined, including a monotreme species (platypus), whereas the LDHC gene may have arisen more recently in marsupial mammals.

Abstract
IMP-L3, a gene isolated as a potential mediator of imaginal disc morphogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster, encodes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The predicted amino acid sequence of IMP-L3 is 58-61% identical to those of human LDHs. In cultured imaginal discs, IMP-L3 transcript levels and LDH enzyme activity increase in response to the steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone. In embryos, IMP-L3 transcript and LDH activity appear in developing somatic muscles by late stage 13, well before the onset of muscular contraction. High levels of transcript and LDH activity persist throughout embryogenesis and throughout larval development. The gene has been localized by in situ hybridization and deficiency mapping to 65A7-65B2 on the third chromosome. LDH activity is reduced to approximately 50% of wild type in animals heterozygous for a deficiency that removes the 65A-B region. Embryos deficient for the 65A-b region lack LDH activity. We conclude that IMP-L3 is the only gene that encodes LDH in Drosophila.

Abstract
Pig testicular lactate dehydrogenase-C (LDHC) cDNA was cloned and sequenced. The deduced sequence of 332 amino acids from pig LDHC shows 73% and 67% identity with that of pig LDHA (muscle) and LDHB (heart) respectively, whereas pig LDHA and LDHB isozymes shows 74% sequence identity. Pig and mouse LDHC cDNAs were subcloned into bacterial expression vector, and the expressed pig LDHC isozyme was shown to be as thermally stable as mouse LDHC isozyme. Pig genomic DNAs from Chinese Meishan, English Yorkshire, Danish Landrace and American Duroc were shown to exhibit polymorphic sites for restriction enzymes EcoRI, BamHI and PstI.

Abstract
Red blood cell enzyme activities are measured mainly to diagnose hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia associated with enzyme anomalies. At least 15 enzyme anomalies associated with hereditary hemolytic anemia have been reported. Some nonhematologic disease can also be diagnosed by the measurement of red blood cell enzyme activities in the case in which enzymes of red blood cells and the other organs are under the same genetic control. Progress in molecular biology has provided a new perspective. Techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis have greatly facilitated the molecular analysis of erythroenzymopathies. These studies have clarified the correlation between the functional and structural abnormalities of the variant enzymes. In general, the mutations that induce an alteration of substrate binding site and/or enzyme instability might result in markedly altered enzyme properties and severe clinical symptoms.

Abstract
Four electrophoretic and/or enzyme-activity variants of murine LDH-A subunit (Ldhla-m1Neu, Ldhla-m5Neu, Ldhla-m6Neu, Ldhla-m9Neu), induced by procarbazine hydrochloride or ethylnitrosourea (ENU), were analyzed at the DNA level. The exons of the Ldhl gene from homozygous mutants were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Three mutations resulted from nucleotide substitutions in exon 5: the transitions A-->G at codons 216 (Ldhla-m5Neu) and 225 (Ldhla-m6Neu), and the transversion G-->C (Ldhla-m1Neu) at codon 222. The mutations resulted in the replacements of Glu by Gly (Ldhla-m5Neu), Gln by Arg (Ldhla-m6Neu) and Asp by His (Ldhla-m1Neu). The fourth base substitution, the transition T-->C (Ldhla-m9Neu), has been found at the GT donor splice site following the first exon; this mutation affected the efficiency of transcription. All ENU-induced mutations were A/T-->G/C transitions. The mutation events could be correlated with the biochemical and physiological alterations observed in affected mice.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs encoding LDH (EC 1.1.1.27) subunits LDH-A (muscle), LDH-B (liver), and LDH-C (oocyte) from Xenopus laevis, LDH-A (muscle) and LDH-B (heart) from pig, and LDH-B (heart) and LDH-C (testis) from rat were determined. These seven newly deduced amino acid sequences and 22 other published LDH sequences, and three unpublished fish LDH-A sequences kindly provided by G. N. Somero and D. A. Powers, were used to construct the most parsimonious phylogenetic tree of these 32 LDH subunits from mammals, birds, an amphibian, fish, barley, and bacteria. There have been at least six LDH gene duplications among the vertebrates. The Xenopus LDH-A, LDH-B, and LDH-C subunits are most closely related to each other and then are more closely related to vertebrate LDH-B than LDH-A. Three fish LDH-As, as well as a single LDH of lamprey, also seem to be more related to vertebrate LDH-B than to land vertebrate LDH-A. The mammalian LDH-C (testis) subunit appears to have diverged very early, prior to the divergence of vertebrate LDH-A and LDH-B subunits, as reported previously.

Abstract
Human lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)--B(H) mutant genes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA conformation polymorphism. We used polyacrylamide gradient gel and silver staining procedures for DCP analysis, and observed abnormal migration patterns in individuals heterozygous for the LDH-B deficiency. Subsequent sequence determination of the mutant alleles consistently resulted in detection of three single base substitutions (transversions), viz., a C to A at residue "35" (GCG, Ala-->GAG, Glu), a T to G at residue "172" (TTT, Phe-->GTT, Val), and an A to T at residue "176" (ATG, Met-->TTG, Leu). Furthermore, mismatched PCR or amplification refractory mutation system was developed for the rapid screening and confirmation of these mutations. These amino acid replacements may cause conformational changes in neighboring residues; this probably affects the active site arrangement and results in the loss of enzyme activity.

Abstract
Two human genomic clones containing the lactate dehydrogenase-B processed pseudogene were isolated from two patients deficient in lactate dehydrogenase-B isozyme. The sequences of 3,287 nucleotides, including the pseudogenes and its flanking regions, from both clones were found to be identical except for three differences in the pseudogenes. The sequences of 1,286 nucleotides from these two pseudogenes exhibited 93% homology with the cDNA sequence of the lactate dehydrogenase-B functional gene, and the pseudogene contained 75/76 base substitutions, 11/12 single-base deletions, and 5 single-base insertions. This pseudogene was mapped to the x-chromosome by dot-blot analysis using a probe for the pseudogene or its 5' flanking sequence.

Abstract
Mouse lactate dehydrogenase-B cDNAs were isolated from cDNA libraries of macrophage (ICR strain) and thymus (F1 hybrid of C57BL/6 and CBA strains), and their nucleotide sequences determined. The lactate dehydrogenase-B cDNA insert of thymus clone mB188 consists of the protein-coding sequence (1002 nucleotides), the 5' (46 nucleotides) and 3' (190 nucleotides) non-coding regions, and poly(A) tail (19 nucleotides), while macrophage clone mB168 contains a partial lactate dehydrogenase cDNA insert from codon no. 55 to the poly(A) tail. Seven silent nucleotide substitutions at codon no. 142, 143, 186, 187, 241, 285 and 292, as well as a single nucleotide change in the 3' non-coding region, were found between these different strains of mice. The predicted sequence of 333 amino acids, excluding initiation methionine, was confirmed by sequencing and/or compositional analyses of a total of 103 (31%) amino acids from tryptic peptides of mouse lactate dehydrogenase-B protein. The nucleotide sequence of the mouse coding region for lactate dehydrogenase B shows 86% identity with that of the human isoenzyme, and only eight of the 139 nucleotide differences resulted in amino acid substitutions at residues 10, 13, 14, 17, 52, 132, 236 and 317. The rates of nucleotide substitutions at synonymous and nonsynonymous sites in the mammalian lactate dehydrogenase genes are calculated. The rates of synonymous substitutions for lactate dehydrogenase genes A (muscle) and B (heart) are considerably higher than the average rate computed from human and rodent genes. The rates of nonsynonymous substitutions for lactate dehydrogenase genes A (muscle) and B (heart), particularly the latter, are highly conservative. The rates of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions for the lactate dehydrogenase-C gene are about the same as the average rates for mammalian genes. A phylogenetic tree of vertebrate lactate dehydrogenase protein sequences is constructed. In agreement with the previous results, this analysis further indicates that lactate dehydrogenase-C gene branched off earlier than did lactate dehydrogenase-A and lactate dehydrogenase-B genes.

Abstract
A human lactate dehydrogenase-B mutant gene was isolated from a genomic DNA library constructed from a patient with unstable LDH-B (heart) subunit. The nucleotide sequences of seven protein-coding exons were determined and a single nucleotide substitution of G by A at Arg codon CGC in exon 4 was found. This mutation results in an amino-acid replacement of a conserved arginine by histidine at the residue "173," which is involved in an anion-binding site at the P-axis of LDH subunits.

Abstract
Human lactate dehydrogenase-A mutant gene was isolated from the genomic DNA library of a patient deficient in LDH-A (Muscle) subunit. The nucleotide sequences of seven protein-coding exons were determined and a deletion of 20 base-pairs in exon 6 was found. This mutation results in a frame-shift translation and premature termination. The predicted incomplete LDH-A (M) subunit containing only 259 instead of 331 amino acids appears to be degraded rapidly, since no protein was detected immunologically (Maekawa et al., Am J Hum Genet 39:232-238, 1986). In addition, three synonymous (silent) substitutions, A to C, T to C, and G to A, were observed at codons 115, 160 and 172, respectively, in this LDH-A mutant gene.
