Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of biological interaction networks is a central theme of systems biology. Here, we investigate the relationships between two distinct types of interaction networks: the metabolic pathway map and the protein-protein interaction network (PIN). It has long been established that successive enzymatic steps are often catalyzed by physically interacting proteins forming permanent or transient multi-enzymes complexes. Inspecting high-throughput PIN data, it was shown recently that, indeed, enzymes involved in successive reactions are generally more likely to interact than other protein pairs. In our study, we expanded this line of research to include comparisons of the underlying respective network topologies as well as to investigate whether the spatial organization of enzyme interactions correlates with metabolic efficiency. RESULTS Analyzing yeast data, we detected long-range correlations between shortest paths between proteins in both network types suggesting a mutual correspondence of both network architectures. We discovered that the organizing principles of physical interactions between metabolic enzymes differ from the general PIN of all proteins. While physical interactions between proteins are generally dissortative, enzyme interactions were observed to be assortative. Thus, enzymes frequently interact with other enzymes of similar rather than different degree. Enzymes carrying high flux loads are more likely to physically interact than enzymes with lower metabolic throughput. In particular, enzymes associated with catabolic pathways as well as enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of complex molecules were found to exhibit high degrees of physical clustering. Single proteins were identified that connect major components of the cellular metabolism and may thus be essential for the structural integrity of several biosynthetic systems. CONCLUSION Our results reveal topological equivalences between the protein interaction network and the metabolic pathway network. Evolved protein interactions may contribute significantly towards increasing the efficiency of metabolic processes by permitting higher metabolic fluxes. Thus, our results shed further light on the unifying principles shaping the evolution of both the functional (metabolic) as well as the physical interaction network.

Abstract
Typically differential equations are employed to simulate cellular dynamics. To develop a valid continuous model based on differential equations requires accurate parameter estimations; an accuracy which is often difficult to achieve, due to the lack of data. In addition, processes in metabolic pathways, e.g. metabolite channeling, seem to be of a rather qualitative and discrete nature. With respect to the available data and to the perception of the underlying system, a discrete rather than a continuous approach to modeling and simulation seems more adequate. A discrete approach does not necessarily imply a more abstract view on the system. If we move from macro to micro and multi-level modeling, aspects of subsystems and their interactions, which have been only implicitly represented, become an explicit part of the model. To start exploring discrete event phenomena within metabolite channeling we choose the tryptophan synthase. Based on a continuous macro model, a discrete event, multi-level model is developed which allows us to analyze the interrelation between structural and functional characteristics of the enzymes.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structures of tryptophan synthase, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase, and asparagine synthetase have revealed the relative locations of multiple active sites within these proteins. In all of these polyfunctional enzymes, a product formed from the catalytic reaction at one active site is a substrate for an enzymatic reaction at a distal active site. Reaction intermediates are translocated from one active site to the next through the participation of an intermolecular tunnel. The tunnel in tryptophan synthase is approximately 25 A in length, whereas the tunnel in carbamoyl phosphate synthetase is nearly 100 A long. Kinetic studies have demonstrated that the individual reactions are coordinated through allosteric coupling of one active site with another. The participation of these molecular tunnels is thought to protect reactive intermediates from coming in contact with the external medium.

Abstract
The glycolytic enzyme aldolase is concentrated in a domain around stress fibers in living Swiss 3T3 cells, but the mechanism by which aldolase is localized has not been revealed. We have recently identified a molecular binding site for F-actin on aldolase, and we hypothesized that this specific binding interaction, rather than a nonspecific mechanism, is responsible for localizing aldolase in vivo. In this report, we have used fluorescent analog cytochemistry of a site-directed mutant of aldolase to demonstrate that actin-binding activity localizes this molecule along stress fibers in quiescent cells and behind active ruffles in the leading edge of motile cells. The specific cytoskeletal association of aldolase could play a structural role in cytoplasm, and it may contribute to metabolic regulation, metabolic compartmentation, and/or cell motility. Functional duality may be a widespread feature among cytosolic enzymes.

Abstract
The ability of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzing the reaction of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate synthesis in human erythrocytes to form complexes with enzymes which use this metabolite as substrate (3-phosphoglycerate kinase (3-PGK) or 2,3-diphosphoglycerate mutase (2,3-DPGM)) was studied. It was found that highly active 2,3-DPGM can be extracted from human erythrocyte hemolysates in a complex with GAPDH adsorbed on Sepharose-bound anti-GAPDH antibodies at pH 6.5, the molar ratio being one 2,3-GPGM subunit per subunit of GAPDH. No complexation was, however, detected at pH 8.0. The opposite was true for the interaction between GAPDH and 3-PGK, which could be observed at pH 8.0. In experiments carried out at pH 7.4, both GAPDH x 2,3-DPGM and GAPGH x 3-PGK complexes were detected. The Kd values of the complexes determined with purified enzyme preparations were in the range 2.40-2.48 microM for both the GAPDH x 2,3-DPGM and GAPGH x 3-PGK enzyme pairs, when titrations of GAPDH covalently bound to CNBr-activated Sepharose were performed by the soluble 2,3-DPGM or 3-PGK. If, however, GAPDH adsorbed on the specific antibodies covalently bound to Sepharose was used in the titration experiments, the Kd for the GAPDH x 2,3-DPGM complex was found to be 0.54 microM, and the Kd for the GAPDH x 3-PGK complex was 0.49 microM. The concentration of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate determined after 1 h of incubation of erythrocytes in the presence of glucose was found to increase 1.5-fold if the incubation was carried out at pH 6.5, but did not change upon incubation at pH 8.0. On the other hand, the concentration of 3-phosphoglycerate after incubation at pH 8.0 was twice as large as that found after incubation at pH 6.5. The results are interpreted on the hypothesis that specific protein-protein interactions between GAPDH and 2,3-DPGM or between GAPDH and 3-PGK may play a role in determining the fate of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate produced in the GAPDH-catalyzed reaction.

Abstract
The fact that enzyme complexes, stable, quasi-stable, and dynamic, exist in cells can no longer be ignored. Experimental evidence done with a variety of techniques has demonstrated these interactions in vitro and in vivo. There is scarcely a single known metabolic pathway in which no interactions of any of its enzymes exist (see reference 27 for a list of these). Such interactions are not only ubiquitous throughout metabolism, but they exist in all cell types, procaryote and eucaryote. In many of these systems the advantages of and regulatory power of enzyme-enzyme or enzyme-structural protein interactions has been amply demonstrated. The more difficult task is to assess accurately quantitative aspects of a system that varies between the solid, gel, and aqueous state. It is clear that the metabolic paradigm of soluble randomly dispersed metabolic elements in cells must be replaced, and new theoretical and experimental approaches introduced into this vital area of biological research.

Abstract
Animal survival during severe hypoxia and/or anoxia is enhanced by a variety of biochemical adaptations including adaptations of fermentative pathways of energy production and, most importantly, the ability to sharply reduce metabolic rate by 5-20 fold and enter a hypometabolic state. The biochemical regulation of metabolic arrest is proving to have common molecular principles that extend across phylogenetic lines and that are conserved in different types of arrested states (not only anaerobiosis but also estivation, hibernation, etc.). Our new studies with anoxia-tolerant vertebrates have identified a variety of regulatory mechanisms involved in both metabolic rate depression and in the aerobic recovery process using as models the freshwater turtle Trachemys scripta elegans and garter snakes Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis. Mechanisms include: 1) post-translational modification of cellular and functional proteins by reversible phosphorylation and changes in protein kinase (PKA, PKC) and/or phosphatase activities to regulate this, 2) reversible enzyme binding associations with subcellular structural elements, 3) differential gene expression and/or mRNA translation producing new mRNA variants and new protein products, 4) changes in protease activity, particularly the multicatalytic proteinase complex, and 5) both constitutive and anoxia-induced modifications to cellular antioxidant systems to deal with oxidative stress during the anoxic-aerobic transition of recovery.

Abstract
If two enzymes are physically and permanently associated as a bi-enzyme complex and if these enzymes catalyze non-consecutive chemical reactions, either of these reactions may inhibit or activate the other. If these reactions belong to two different metabolic cycles, the functioning of one of these cycles will control the fine tuning of the other. Thus simple kinetic considerations lead to the conclusion that, owing to the spatial organization of enzymes as multimolecular complexes, a fine tuning and a coordination of different metabolic networks, or cycles, may be exerted. It thus appears that channelling of reaction intermediates within a multienzyme complex does not represent the only functional advantage brought about by this type of spatial molecular organization.

Abstract
Metabolite channelling may result from different kinetic mechanisms in which enzyme-enzyme interactions occur, so that intermediates are not released into the bulk solution and cannot be used by enzymes outside the channel. From an evolutionary point of view, the emergence of such mechanisms may provide new functional possibilities for the system, which would result in a selective advantage. Hence, it would be useful to evaluate the objective advantages provided by the various options by considering different criteria for functional effectiveness. Following this strategy, the goal of this paper is to compare a model for a free-diffusion two-enzyme system with two different models with inclusion of enzyme-enzyme interactions. In addition, models with simultaneous free and interacting branches are also analysed, and their advantages or disadvantages are presented. Basic guidelines are suggested that help in predicting the occurrence of specific mechanisms in different circumstances, and provide theoretical evidence in support of the hypothesis that no single solution simultaneously optimizes all the possible desired properties of the system.

Abstract
Do vertebrate cells dictate basal metabolic rate or does the organism have some influence over this decision? In this paper we advance the idea that the rate of delivery of essential nutrients to cells could be a key regulatory mechanism, a concept which originates for Coulson (Comp. Biochem, Physiol., 84A, 1986, 217-229) that we have extended to the delivery of substrates to enzymes at the intracellular level.

Abstract
E. coli D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase covalently bound to Sepharose was shown to form a complex with soluble E. coli 3-phosphoglycerate kinase with a stoichiometry of 1.77 +/- 0.61 kinase molecules per tetramer of the dehydrogenase and an apparent Kd of 1.03 +/- 0.68 microM (10 mM sodium phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl). No interaction was detected between E. coli D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and rabbit muscle 3-phosphoglycerate kinase. The species-specificity of the bienzyme association made it possible to develop a kinetic approach to demonstrate the functionally significant interaction between E. coli D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and E. coli 3-phosphoglycerate kinase, which consists of an increase in steady-state rate of the coupled reaction.

Abstract
Recently, a number of novel ways of considering the control, regulation and thermodynamics of microbial physiology have been developed and applied. We here present an overview of the new concepts involved, of their limitations and of the most recent attempts to deal with those limitations. We conclude that there no longer exist reasons of principle for vagueness in discussions of the control of microbial physiology and energetics. Further, the novel conceptual methods serve to remove part of the discordance between holistic and reductionistic views of microbial physiology.

Abstract
We have previously observed that extracellular Mg2+ influences the phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity of intact Ehrlich Ascites tumour cells (EATC). In this study we have investigated the mechanism by which Mg2+ modulates this key glycolytic enzyme in EATC made permeable to the cation by either digitonin or dextran sulphate. Results showed that when Mg2+ is freely permeable to the cytosol, the in vivo PFK activity, calculated as FDP/G6P ratio, is not increased as it is in intact cells. We also observed that in permeabilized cells Mg2+ determines the increase of glucose 6 phosphate (G6P), fructose 1,6 bisphosphate (FDP) and lactate production. We hypothesize that extracellular Mg2+ regulates PFK and glycolysis in these neoplastic cells not by entering the cytosol but by a specific interaction with the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Kinetics of fructose-1,6-disphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) catalyzed conversion of fructose phosphates was analyzed by coupling the aldolase reactions to the metabolically sequential enzyme, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8), which interacts with aldolase. At low enzyme concentration poly(ethylene glycol) was added to promote complex formation of aldolase and glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase resulting in a 3-fold increase in KM of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and no change in Vmax. Kinetic parameters for fructose-1-phosphate conversion changed inversely upon complex formation: Vmax increased while KM remained unchanged. Gel penetration and ion-exchange chromatographic experiments showed positive modulation of the interaction of aldolase and dehydrogenase by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The dissociation constant of the heterologous enzyme complex decreased 10-fold in the presence of this substrate. Fructose-1-phosphate or dihydroxyacetone phosphate had no effect on the dissociation constant of the aldolase-dehydrogenase complex. In addition, titration of fluorescein-labelled glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase with aldolase indicated that both fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and fructose-2,6-biphosphate enhanced the affinity of aldolase to glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase. The results of the kinetic and binding experiments suggest that binding of the C-6 phosphate group of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to aldolase complexed with dehydrogenase is sterically impeded while saturation of the C-6 phosphate group site increases the affinity of aldolase for dehydrogenase. The possible molecular mechanism of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphate modulated interaction is discussed.

Abstract
L-929 cells (mouse fibroblasts) permeabilized with dextran sulfate (DSP cells) carry out vigorous and linear rates of glycolysis when supplied with a suitable incubation medium. Glycolysis in DSP cells is pH dependent, being strongly inhibited at pH 6.5. Compared to their nonpermeabilized counterparts, DSP cells exhibit faster glycolytic rates, but tend to convert a smaller proportion of the glucose utilized to lactate. [14C]Glucose is converted to lactate by DSP cells without dilution from endogenous substrates. When exogenous 12C-labeled glycolytic intermediates (12C-I) are added to glycolyzing DSP cells the [14C]lactate produced from [14C]glucose is diluted to varying extents, depending on the intermediate. However, the extent of that dilution (reduced specific activity) is not that expected from the complete mixing of exogenous 12C-I with their corresponding 14C-labeled intermediates coming from [14C]-glucose. DSP cells also respire and convert glucose to CO2. The amount of 14CO2 produced from [14C]glucose is also reduced by addition of most 12C-I, an interesting exception being pyruvate, which had no measurable effect on 14CO2 production and caused only a modest stimulation of respiration in glycolyzing DSP cells. These results suggest that channeling, or some other form of coupling, takes place between the glycolytic production of pyruvate and its further oxidation. These observations confirm previously published data and add further support to the proposition that channeling of glycolytic intermediates occurs in DSP cells but is of the "leaky" type. Although abundant evidence in the literature indicates that various glycolytic enzymes associate with F-actin, as well as other elements of the cytomatrix, we observed no effect of cytochalasin D on lactate production even at very high concentrations of this compound. Our results are compared with those from other laboratories and discussed in the context of metabolic organization.

Abstract
The combination of binding and kinetic approaches is suggested to study (i) the mechanism of substrate-modulated dynamic enzyme associations; (ii) the specificity of enzyme interactions. The effect of complex formation between aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (phosphorylating), EC 1.2.1.12) on aldolase catalysis was investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions. No change in kcat but a significant increase in KM of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate for aldolase was found when both enzymes were obtained from muscle. In contrast, kcat rather than KM changed if dehydrogenase was isolated from yeast. Next, the conversion of fructose 1-phosphate was not affected by interactions between enzyme couples isolated from muscle. The influence of fructose phosphates on the enzyme-complex formation was studied by means of covalently attached fluorescent probe. We found that the interaction ws not perturbed by the presence of fructose 1-phosphate; however, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate altered the dissociation constant of the enzyme complex. A molecular model for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate-modulated enzyme interaction has been evaluated which suggests that high levels of fructose bisphosphate would drive the formation of the 'channelling' complex between aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Abstract
The association of different enzymes into a complex may induce changes in the kinetic parameters of its component enzymes. This implies that they cannot be treated as independent catalysts. It will affect the formulations and theorems of control analysis and necessitates the introduction of additional elasticities reflecting the effect of one enzyme on the rate of another. We show how this is achieved as an extension of the classical treatment. We present modified summation and connectivity theorems incorporating both homologous and heterologous interactions. The case of channelling of metabolites in such complexes is considered and an experimental method for its detection is suggested.

Abstract
Mouse L-929 cells were subjected to increasing concentrations of sorbitol, which remove cell water and reduce volume osmotically. The rate of lactate production from glucose was significantly higher in osmotically perturbed cells than in controls, both in monolayers and in suspensions. L cells can apparently use sorbitol as a glycolytic substrate; however, studies using other solutes (trehalose and sucrose) and permeabilized cells showed that the major effect of sorbitol on glycolysis in intact cells is mediated through a reduction in cell water content and volume. It is possible to explain some of these results by an increase in the chemical potentials of dissolved components of the glycolytic pathway caused by water loss; however, the relationship between water loss and glycolytic rate increase in not a simple linear one, suggesting that the situation is more complex than would result merely from increased concentrations of pathway components. Whatever the complete explanation might be, these studies show that glycolysis continues in an orderly fashion in cells that have lost about 85% of their original water content, suggesting that the operation of this pathway is not unduly sensitive to events taking place in the bulk aqueous phase.

Abstract
The motility of protein structure, the existence of discrete conformational states, and the multifarious modes of supramolecular protein organization seem to underlie neuronal plasticity. These aspects of protein structure are surveyed from the viewpoint of their potential role in short-term and long-term memory. It is suggested that long-term memory may ensue from the remodelling of synaptic protein assemblies requiring extra copies of pre-existing proteins.

Abstract
L-929 cells permeabilized by dextran sulfate (DSP cells) carry out vigorous and linear rates of glycolysis when supplied with a suitable incubation medium. Unlabeled 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) added to DSP cells reduces the specific activity of lactate coming from [14C]glucose but the extent of this reduction can not be accounted for on the basis of free diffusion of PGA coming from [14C]glucose. Studies on other glycolytic intermediates, although preliminary, yield similar results. PGA also inhibits the production of lactate from glucose; however, this effect, like that of the reduction of lactate specific activity, becomes apparent only at concentrations of PGA well in excess of those considered to be physiological. We conclude that channelling of PGA, and probably other intermediates, occurs but is of the "leaky" type.

Abstract
Some implications of substrate channelling in interacting enzyme systems are considered, with regard to the energetics and evolution of enzyme action. The transient time, a key analytical parameter relating to the phenomenon of channelling, is the basis of our kinetic study. Bounds on the kinetics of multienzyme complexes are established using (apparent) rate constants emanating from the transient-time formulation of coupled reactions. From a transition state representation of the rate process, it is shown how dynamically and statically organized enzyme systems lead to the modification of current ideas on the evolutionary optimization of the energy profile of enzyme catalysis in situ.
