Abstract
The unique polarization and high-energy demand of neurons necessitates specialized mechanisms to maintain energy homeostasis throughout the cell, particularly in the distal axon. Mitochondria play a key role in meeting axonal energy demand by generating adenosine triphosphate through oxidative phosphorylation. Recent evidence demonstrates how axonal mitochondrial trafficking and anchoring are coordinated to sense and respond to altered energy requirements. If and when these mechanisms are impacted in pathological conditions, such as injury and neurodegenerative disease, is an emerging research frontier. Recent evidence also suggests that axonal energy demand may be supplemented by local glial cells, including astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In this review, we provide an updated discussion of how oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic glycolysis, and oligodendrocyte-derived metabolic support contribute to the maintenance of axonal energy homeostasis.

Abstract
Efficient neuronal function depends on the continued modulation of the local neuronal proteome. Local protein synthesis plays a central role in tuning the neuronal proteome at specific neuronal regions. Various aspects of translation such as the localization of translational machinery, spatial spread of the newly translated proteins, and their site of action are carried out in specialized neuronal subcompartments to result in a localized functional outcome. In this review, we focus on the various aspects of these local translation compartments such as size, biochemical and organelle composition, structural boundaries, and temporal dynamics. We also discuss the apparent absence of definitive components of translation in these local compartments and the emerging state-of-the-art tools that could help dissecting these conundrums in greater detail in the future.

Abstract
Changes in neuronal activity create local and transient changes in energy demands at synapses. Here we discover a metabolic compartment that forms in vivo near synapses to meet local energy demands and support synaptic function in Caenorhabditis elegans neurons. Under conditions of energy stress, glycolytic enzymes redistribute from a diffuse localization in the cytoplasm to a punctate localization adjacent to synapses. Glycolytic enzymes colocalize, suggesting the ad hoc formation of a glycolysis compartment, or a "glycolytic metabolon," that can maintain local levels of ATP. Local formation of the glycolytic metabolon is dependent on presynaptic scaffolding proteins, and disruption of the glycolytic metabolon blocks the synaptic vesicle cycle, impairs synaptic recovery, and affects locomotion. Our studies indicate that under energy stress conditions, energy demands in C. elegans synapses are met locally through the assembly of a glycolytic metabolon to sustain synaptic function and behavior.

Abstract
The phosphocreatine-creatine kinase (CK) shuttle system is increasingly recognized as a fundamental mechanism for ATP homeostasis in both excitable and non-excitable cells. Many intracellular processes are ATP dependent. Cell division is a process requiring a rapid rate of energy turnover. Cell cycle regulation is also a key point to understanding the mechanisms underlying cancer progression. It has been known for about 40 years that aberrant CK levels are associated with various cancers and for over 30 years that CK is involved in mitosis regulation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been investigated sufficiently until recently. By maintaining ATP at sites of high-energy demand, CK can regulate cell cycle progression by affecting the intracellular energy status as well as by influencing signaling pathways that are essential to activate cell division and cytoskeleton reorganization. Aberrant CK levels may impair cell viability under normal or stressed conditions and induce cell death. The involvement of CK in cell cycle regulation and cellular energy metabolism makes it a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in cancer. To understand the multiple physiological/pathological functions of CK, it is necessary to identify CK-binding partners and regulators including proteins, non-coding RNAs and participating endogenous small molecular weight chemical compounds. This review will focus on molecular mechanisms of CK in cell cycle regulation and cancer progression. It will also discuss the implications of recent mechanistic studies, the emerging problems and future challenges of the multifunctional enzyme CK.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence to support a gene economy model that is fully based on the principles of evolution in which a limited number of proteins does not necessarily reflect a finite number of biochemical processes. The concept of 'gene sharing' proposes that a single protein can have alternate functions that are typically attributed to other proteins. GAPDH appears to play this role quite well in that it exhibits more than one function. GAPDH represents the prototype for this new paradigm of protein multi-functionality. The chapter discusses the diverse functions of GAPDH among three broad categories: cell structure, gene expression and signal transduction. Protein function is curiously re-specified given the cell's unique needs. GAPDH provides the cell with the means of linking metabolic activity to various cellular processes. While interpretations may often lead to GAPDH's role in meeting focal energy demands, this chapter discusses several other very distinct GAPDH functions (i.e. membrane fusogenic properties) that are quite different from its ability to catalyze oxidative phosphorylation of the triose, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. It is suggested that a single protein participates in multiple processes in the structural organization of the cell, controls the transmission of genetic information (i.e. GAPDH's involvement may not be finite) and mediates intracellular signaling.

Abstract
Binding between vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) and microfilaments is mediated by an actin binding domain in the B-subunit. Both isoforms of mammalian B-subunit bind microfilaments with high affinity. A similar actin-binding activity has been demonstrated in the B-subunit of yeast. A conserved “profilin-like” domain in the B-subunit mediates this actin-binding activity, named due to its sequence and structural similarity to an actin-binding surface of the canonical actin binding protein profilin. Subtle mutations in the “profilin-like” domain eliminate actin binding activity without disrupting the ability of the altered protein to associate with the other subunits of V-ATPase to form a functional proton pump. Analysis of these mutated B-subunits suggests that the actin-binding activity is not required for the “housekeeping” functions of V-ATPases, but is important for certain specialized roles. In osteoclasts, the actin-binding activity is required for transport of V-ATPases to the plasma membrane, a prerequisite for bone resorption. A virtual screen led to the identification of enoxacin as a small molecule that bound to the actin-binding surface of the B2-subunit and competitively inhibited B2-subunit and actin interaction. Enoxacin disrupted osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro, but did not affect osteoblast formation or mineralization. Recently, enoxacin was identified as an inhibitor of the virulence of Candidaalbicans and more importantly of cancer growth and metastasis. Efforts are underway to determine the mechanisms by which enoxacin and other small molecule inhibitors of B2 and microfilament binding interaction selectively block bone resorption, the virulence of Candida, cancer growth, and metastasis.

Abstract
In order to explore the molecular mechanism underlying self-incompatibility (SI) in the apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) at the proteome level, we examined the style proteomes at different stages of flower development: small bud, big bud, 24h after self-pollination and 24h after cross-pollination with cultivar Badanshui in the SI apricot cultivar Xinshiji and the self-compatible (SC) apricot cultivar Katy by 2D fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and mass spectrometry (MS). About 1500 style protein spots were detected; 66 were expressed differently in the four stages in Xinshiji. About 1600 style protein spots were detected; 143 were expressed differently in the four stages of flower development in Katy. In Xinshiji, one protein was expressed specifically, four proteins showed up-regulated expression and twenty-nine proteins showed down-regulated expression in the cross-pollinated style compared to the self-pollinated style. Thirteen proteins were identified unambiguously. In Katy, three proteins were expressed specifically, five proteins showed up-regulated expression and thirteen proteins showed down-regulated expression in the cross-pollinated style compared to self-pollinated style. Seven proteins were identified unambiguously. The different reactions of the style at the proteomic level were triggered in Xinshiji and Katy by self pollen and non-self pollen.

Abstract
Yunpoong is an important Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) cultivar, but no molecular marker has been available to identify Yunpoong from other cultivars. In this study, we developed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker for Yunpoong based on analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in an exon region of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene. This SNP marker had high specificity to authenticate Yunpoong in twelve different main ginseng cultivars. For application of the molecular marker, a rapid identification method was established based on the NaOH-Tris method and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in order to ensure more efficiency in the cultivar selection. The biggest feature of the NaOH-Tris method was that it made the extraction of DNA very simple and rapid in young leaf tissues. We only spent 1 min to extract DNA and directly used it to do PCR. In this report, the conventional DNA extraction method was used to develop molecular marker process, and the NaOH-Tris method was applied in screening large numbers of cultivars. Moreover, the greatest advantage of the real-time PCR compared with traditional PCR, is time saving and high efficiency. Thus, this strategy provides a rapid and reliable method for the specific identification of Yunpoong in a large number of samples.

Abstract
Replication of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genome depends on host factors for successfully completing their life cycles; to do this, host factors have been recruited and/or relocated to the site of viral replication. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a cellular metabolic protein, was found to colocalize with viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NS5) in JEV-infected cells. Subcellular fractionation further indicated that GAPDH remained relatively constant in the cytosol, while increasing at 12 to 24 hours postinfection (hpi) and decreasing at 36 hpi in the nuclear fraction of infected cells. In contrast, the redistribution patterns of GAPDH were not observed in the uninfected cells. Co-immunoprecipitation of GAPDH and JEV NS5 protein revealed no direct protein-protein interaction; instead, GAPDH binds to the 3' termini of plus- and minus-strand RNAs of JEV by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Accordingly, GAPDH binds to the minus strand more efficiently than to the plus strand of JEV RNAs. This study highlights the findings that infection of JEV changes subcellular localization of GAPDH suggesting that this metabolic enzyme may play a role in JEV replication.

Abstract
The first mutations causing hereditary glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) deficiency in the mouse are described. In the course of various mutagenicity experiments with chemical mutagens and irradiation, nine independent mutations causing approximately 50-55% residual activity in blood compared to wild type were identified at the Gapdh structural locus on chromosome 6. Breeding experiments displayed an autosomal semidominant mode of inheritance for all mutants. Two mutations are homozygous viable producing a GAPDH residual activity of less than 10%. Mortality of the remaining seven homozygous lethal lines occurs at an early postimplantation stage of development. The physiologic and hematologic analyses provided no indication for further altered traits in heterozygotes or homozygotes. The molecular characterization showed base substitutions resulting in amino acid exchanges in seven mutations, in one mutation a transversion creating a stop codon caused a truncated protein of 89 amino acids and two deletions generating truncated proteins of 73 and 9 amino acids, respectively.

Abstract
Using confocal microscopy, we have demonstrated a similar distribution of phosphofructokinase (PFK) with caveolin-1 (CAV-1) mainly at the periphery (membrane) in freshly isolated vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells and in cultured A7r5 VSM cells. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis validated the interaction between the proteins. To further test the hypothesis that PFK and CAV-1 are colocalized, we used small interfering RNA (siRNA) to downregulate CAV-1 expression and disrupt the protein-protein interactions between PFK and CAV-1. Transfection of cultured A7r5 cells with CAV-1 siRNA resulted in a decreased level of immunoreactive CAV-1 and a consequent shift in the distribution of PFK with less localization of PFK to the periphery of the cells and increased immunoreactivity at the perinuclear region as compared to control. Analysis of the average PFK intensity across cultured A7r5 cells demonstrated a higher central:peripheral intensity ratio (CPI ratio) in siRNA-treated cells than in the control. These results validate the possible role of CAV-1 as a scaffolding protein for PFK as evidenced by the significant redistribution of PFK after CAV-1 downregulation. We therefore conclude that CAV-1 may function as a scaffolding protein for PFK and that this contributes to the compartmentation of glycolysis from other metabolic pathways in VSM.

Abstract
Compartmentation of carbohydrate metabolism has been shown in a wide range of tissues including reports of one compartment of glycolysis associated with the plasma membrane of cells. However, only in the erythrocyte has the physical basis for plasma membrane-associated glycolytic pathway been established. We have previously found that phosphofructokinase (PFK) appeared to colocalize with the fairly ubiquitous plasma membrane protein caveolin-1 (CAV-1), consistent with a role for CAV-1 as an anchor for glycolysis to the plasma membrane. To test the hypothesis that CAV-1 functions as a scaffolding protein for PFK, we transfected human lymphocytes (a cell without CAV-1 expression) with human CAV-1 cDNA. We demonstrate that expression of CAV-1 in lymphocytes results in the formation of caveolae at the plasma membrane and affects the subcellular localization of PFK by recruiting PFK to the plasma membrane. Targeting of PFK by CAV-1 also was validated by the significant colocalization between the proteins after transfection, which resulted in a correlation of 0.97 +/- 0.004 between the two fluorophores. This finding is significant in as much as it illustrates the CAV-1 feasibility of generating binding sites for glycolytic enzymes on the plasma membrane. We therefore conclude that CAV-1 functions as a scaffolding protein for PFK and that this may contribute to the elucidation of the basis for carbohydrate compartmentation to the plasma membrane in a wide variety of cell types.

Abstract
Brownian dynamics simulations of computer models of GAPDH mutants interacting with F-actin emphasized the electrostatic nature of such interactions, and confirmed the importance of four previously identified lysine residues on the GAPDH structure in these interactions. Mutants were GAPDH models in which one or more of the previously identified lysines had been replaced with alanine. Simulations showed reduced binding of these mutants to F-actin compared to wild-type GAPDH. Binding was significantly reduced by mutating the four lysines; the specific electrostatic interaction energy of the quadruple mutant was -7.3 +/- 1.0 compared to -11.4 +/- 0.5 kcal/mol for the wild enzyme. The BD simulations also reaffirmed the importance of quaternary structure for GAPDH binding F-actin.

Abstract
We have shown that a compartmentation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis exists in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) and that an intact plasma membrane is essential for compartmentation. Previously, we observed that disruption of the caveolae inhibited glycolysis but stimulated gluconeogenesis, suggesting a link between caveolae and glycolysis. We hypothesized that glycolytic enzymes specifically localize to caveolae. We used confocal microscopy to determine the localization of caveolin-1 (CAV-1) and phosphofructokinase (PFK) in freshly isolated VSM cells and cultured A7r5 cells. Freshly isolated cells exhibited a peripheral (membrane) localization of CAV-1 with 85.3% overlap with PFK. However, only 59.9% of PFK was localized with CAV-1, indicating a wider distribution of PFK than CAV-1. A7r5 cells exhibited compartmentation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis and displayed two apparent phenotypes distinguishable by shape (spindle and ovoid shaped). In both phenotypes, CAV-1 fluorescence overlapped with PFK fluorescence (83.1 and 81.5%, respectively). However, the overlap of PFK with CAV-1 was lower in the ovoid-shaped (35.9%) than the spindle-shaped cells (53.7%). There was also a progressive shift in pattern of colocalization from primarily the membrane in spindle-shaped cells (both freshly isolated and cultured cells) to primarily the cytoplasm in ovoid-shaped cells. Overall, cellular colocalization of PFK with CAV-1 was significant in all cell types (0.68 > or = R2 < or = 0.77). Coimmunoprecipitation of PFK with CAV-1 further validated the possible interaction between the proteins. We conclude that a similar distribution of one pool of PFK with CAV-1 contributes to the compartmentation of glycolysis from gluconeogenesis.

Abstract
We have previously found that glycolysis and gluconeogenesis occur in separate "compartments" of the VSM cell. These compartments may result from spatial separation of glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes (Lloyd and Hardin [1999] Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 277:C1250-C1262). We have also found that an intact plasma membrane is essential for compartmentation to exist (Lloyd and Hardin [2000] Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 278:C803-C811), suggesting that glycolysis and gluconeogenesis may be associated with distinct plasma membrane microdomains. Caveolae are one such microdomain, in which proteins of related function colocalize. Thus, we hypothesized that membrane-associated glycolysis occurs in association with caveolae, while gluconeogenesis is localized to non-caveolae domains. To test this hypothesis, we disrupted caveolae in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) of pig cerebral microvessels (PCMV) with beta methyl-cyclodextrin (CD) and examined the metabolism of [2-(13)C]glucose (a glycolytic substrate) and [1-(13)C]fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP, a gluconeogenic substrate in PCMV) using (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Caveolar disruption reduced flux of [2-(13)C]glucose to [2-(13)C]lactate, suggesting that caveolar disruption partially disrupted the glycolytic pathway. Caveolae disruption may also have resulted in a breakdown of compartmentation, since conversion of [1-(13)C]FBP to [3-(13)C]lactate was increased by CD treatment. Alternatively, the increased [3-(13)C]lactate production may reflect changes in FBP uptake, since conversion of [1-(13)C]FBP to [3-(13)C]glucose was also elevated in CD-treated cells. Thus, a link between caveolar organization and metabolic organization may exist.

Abstract
We used (13)C-labeled substrates and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to examine carbohydrate metabolism in vascular smooth muscle of freshly isolated pig cerebral microvessels (PCMV). PCMV utilized [2-(13)C]glucose mainly for glycolysis, producing [2-(13)C]lactate. Simultaneously, PCMV utilized the glycolytic intermediate [1-(13)C]fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) mainly for gluconeogenesis, producing [1-(13)C]glucose with only minor [3-(13)C]lactate production. The dissimilarity in metabolism of [2-(13)C]FBP derived from [2-(13)C]glucose breakdown and metabolism of exogenous [1-(13)C]FBP demonstrates that carbohydrate metabolism is compartmented in PCMV. Because glycolytic enzymes interact with microtubules, we disrupted microtubules with vinblastine. Vinblastine treatment significantly decreased [2-(13)C]lactate peak intensity (87.8 +/- 3.7% of control). The microtubule-stabilizing agent taxol also reduced [2-(13)C]lactate peak intensity (90.0 +/- 2. 4% of control). Treatment with both agents further decreased [2-(13)C]lactate production (73.3 +/- 4.0% of control). Neither vinblastine, taxol, or the combined drugs affected [1-(13)C]glucose peak intensity (gluconeogenesis) or disrupted the compartmentation of carbohydrate metabolism. The similar effects of taxol and vinblastine, drugs that have opposite effects on microtubule assembly, suggest that they produce their effects on glycolytic rate by competing with glycolytic enzymes for binding, not by affecting the overall assembly state of the microtubule network. Glycolysis, but not gluconeogenesis, may be regulated in part by glycolytic enzyme-microtubule interactions.

Abstract
We have isolated a monoclonal antibody, P4B2, which localizes to multiple anchorage junctions, namely, a subset of focal adhesions, the Z-disk of muscle, and neuromuscular junctions. Immunopurification of the antigen to this antibody from chicken brain tissue yielded a complex of three prominent proteins with mobilities of 36, 30, and 18 kDa. Amino acid sequencing of the purified proteins identified the 36-kDa protein as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The other two protein bands were heterogeneous, containing proteins found in the synaptic vesicle fusion core complex. Immunolocalization of P4B2 antigen in developing cultured muscle cells showed that the antigen is incorporated into Z-lines soon after the sarcomeric architecture was positive for alpha-actinin. Together, the data indicate the P4B2 antigen is part of a unique GAPDH-containing protein complex that may be involved in reinforcement of established cytoskeletal structures.

Abstract
1. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD) is a glycolytic enzyme that has also been implicated in a wide variety of functions within neurons. Because of the well-documented role of G3PD as an actin-binding protein, we sought evidence for a G3PD-actin complex in synaptosomes and postsynaptic densities (PSDs). 2. We have shown G3PD association with 0.5-microgram synaptosomal particles by immunofluorescence as similarly demonstrated for actin (Toh et al., Nature 264:648-650, 1976). An immunoblot analysis also showed G3PD and actin to be enriched in synaptosomes. Further analysis of subcellular fractions from synaptosomes showed the PSD but not the synaptosomal plasma membranes to be enriched in G3PD and actin. 3. Highest levels of G3PD catalytic activity were found in synaptosomes and PSDs. Although synaptosomes showed significant activity for phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), an enzyme in sequence with G3PD for ATP production in the glycolytic pathway, no such activity was detected in the PSD fraction. 4. Our studies indicate that a G3PD-actin complex may exist at the synapse. A physical association of G3PD with endogenous F-actin in synaptosomes and PSDs was demonstrated by combined phalloidin shift velocity sedimentation/immunoblot studies. By this approach, synaptosomal G3PD-actin complexes were also found to be significantly less dense than the PSD G3PD-actin complexes. 5. G3PD and PGK catalytic activity in synaptosomes suggests a role in glycolysis, as well as actin binding, in the presynaptic terminals. On the other hand, the high levels of G3PD activity in PSDs but lack of PGK activity suggests that G3PD is involved in nonglycolytic functions, such as actin binding and actin filament network organization.

Abstract
The diverse physical associations of the glycolytic enzymes with structural components of the cell suggest that the glycolytic enzymes are not entirely soluble in the cell. The relatively low affinities of the associations are likely responsible for the apparently transient interactions. The binding phenomenon is suggested to regulate metabolism through changes in enzymatic activity and facilitates localized enrichment of the enzymes.

Abstract
Some lactate dehydrogenase modulator proteins have been isolated from the lactate dehydrogenase-free crude mitochondrial fraction of rabbit muscle, beef liver and chicken liver. It was shown that beef and chicken liver mitochondrial extracts exhibited activatory capacity in contrast to the inhibitory capacity of rabbit muscle mitochondrial extracts. All modulators can be precipitated by 80% ammonium sulphate saturation and show high anodic electrophoretic mobility and heat stability. Modulators have higher affinity for alkaline pI lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, independent of whether the M and H subunits are predominant. The inhibitor and the activator molecules compete for lactate dehydrogenase since their modulatory capacity was nullified when similar relative amounts were used. This study shows the existence of analogous proteins with an acidic pI in the different mitochondrial fractions which modify lactate dehydrogenase activity.

Abstract
The distribution and length of actin microfilaments (MF) was determined in axoplasm extruded from the giant axons of the squid (Loligo pealeii). Extruded axoplasm that was separated from the axonal cortex contains approximately 92% of the total axonal actin, and 60% of this actin is polymerized (Morris, J., and R. Lasek. 1984. J. Cell Biol. 98:2064-2076). Localization of MF with rhodamine-phalloidin indicated that the MF were organized in fine columns oriented longitudinally within the axoplasm. In the electron microscope, MF were surrounded by a dense matrix and they were associated with the microtubule domains of the axoplasm. The surrounding matrix tended to obscure the MF which may explain why MF have rarely been recognized before in the inner regions of the axon. The axoplasmic MF are relatively short (number average length of 0.55 micron). Length measurements of MF prepared either in the presence or absence of the actin-filament stabilizing drug phalloidin indicate that axoplasm contains two populations of MF: stable MF (number average length of 0.79 micron) and metastable MF (number average length of 0.41 micron). Although individual axonal MF are much shorter than axonal microtubules, the combined length of the total MF is twice that of the total microtubules. Apparently, these numerous short MF have an important structural role in the architecture of the inner axonal cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The interaction of GAPDH with cellular structure has been studied in the major tissues of the mouse during development. Overall the data provides a clear indication that interactions between GAPDH and cellular structure are appreciable in all major tissues, at least during early stages of development, and an analysis of the isozyme status of the enzyme in both soluble and bound compartments for all tissues at all developmental stages indicates the presence of only a single GAPDH isozyme in the mouse. Possible reasons for the lack of an extensive multiplicity of this enzyme in mammalian tissues (the only tetrameric glycolytic enzyme to display this restriction) and for the large amounts of GAPDH in many cell types are discussed in relation to the large number of proteins that GAPDH interacts with in the cell.

The interactions of the isozymes of pyruvate kinase with cellular structure have been studied in the major tissues of the mouse during development. Overall, these data provide a firm indication that the interactions between this enzyme and cellular structure are appreciable in most tissues during all stages of development, and an analysis of the isozyme status of the enzyme in both soluble and bound compartments has been effected. Evidence has been provided that the A4 form of pyruvate kinase interacts to a greater extent with subcellular structure than does the C4 form, and the C4 form in turn interacts to a greater extent to subcellular structure than does the B4 form.

Abstract
Detergent extraction of brain slices and mouse fibroblast 3T3 cells was performed to determine rates and relative amounts of extraction of inositol versus the glycolytic enzymes. The two detergents, Triton X-100 and Brij 58, led to similar results for extraction of myo-inositol. The extraction of enzymes from brain slices or cells varied with the detergent. In brain slices, a buffered solution containing 0.2% of the detergent Brij 58 led to the extraction of 85% of the inositol before 3% of the aldolase or before 37% of either lactate dehydrogenase or triose phosphate isomerase was extracted. In contrast, with 0.1% Triton X-100 in isotonic phosphate-buffered saline, when 70% of the inositol was extracted, 33% of the aldolase and 48% of the triose phosphate isomerase were extracted. Lesser amounts of aldolase and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase were extracted than most of the other glycolytic enzymes under all conditions, implying that these enzymes may be interacting with non-extractable subcellular components. In 3T3 cells, both detergents were of similar effectiveness for inositol extraction. Triton X-100 caused 89% of the inositol to be released and Brij 58 caused 84% to be released. With the enzymes, Brij 58 caused between 15 and 38% extraction and Triton X-100 caused between 61 and 85% extraction of the different glycolytic enzymes. Thus Brij 58 was as effective as Triton X-100 in inositol extraction but not nearly as effective in glycolytic enzyme extraction. The results demonstrate that inositol leakage from tissues or cells is a better indicator of detergent-mediated alterations in membrane porosity than glycolytic enzyme leakage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The interactions of the LDH isozymes with cellular structure have been studied in the major tissues of the mouse during development. Overall, there is a clear indication that interactions between LDH and cellular structure are appreciable in all major tissues and at all stages of development, and an analysis of the isozyme status of the enzyme in both soluble and bound compartments has been effected. Information has been provided supporting the preferential binding of the A type activity to actin filaments. The data provided also support the concept of pelletable B type LDH in kidney and brain during the postnatal period. Binding was particularly extensive in the early embryonic stages, and the significance of this phenomenon, and the subcellular interactions observed to varying degrees in all the tissues throughout development, have been discussed in relation to the known metabolic characteristics of these separate tissue situations.

Abstract
Cell volumes, viability, ultrastructure, and metabolism have been studied in mouse L cells at reduced water contents. Dehydration was achieved by addition of sorbitol to the incubation medium at concentrations of 0.15, 0.3, and 0.6 m. In 0.3 m sorbitol, cell volume was reduced to about 35% of the initial control level and cell ultrastructure was markedly altered. Nevertheless, such cells retained viability and their metabolism was much the same as that of control cells, evaluated by [U-14C]glucose. Except for a lesser volume reduction, cells in 0.15 m sorbitol behaved similarly. However, when placed in 0.6 m sorbitol the cells exhibited quantitative and qualitative differences in their metabolism compared with controls, and grew very poorly or not at all. Their ultrastructure was not obviously different from cells in 0.3 m sorbitol although cell volume was slightly reduced. These results are considered in the context of different conceptions of the properties and metabolic activities of the aqueous intracellular compartments (cytosol, nucleoplasm, and interiors of cytoplasmic membrane-bound-organelles). We interpret the data as additional evidence for the existence of extensive spatial organization of enzyme and the pathways they catalyze in the aqueous compartments. On this basis it is also suggested that at least part of the damage that occurs in severely dehydrated mammalian cells could result from the irreversible disruption of this organization and loss of metabolic control. We speculate about the evolutionary involvement of intracellular water and how it might have participated in the development of structure and function in contemporary cells.

Abstract
Neuron-specific enolase and creatine phosphokinase were found, by 2-dimensional gel analysis, in rat brain synaptic plasma membranes (SPM). The identity of these enzymes was confirmed by comigration with purified rat brain NSE and CPK and by peptide analysis. The specific enzymatic activities of enolase and creatine phosphokinase, as well as of pyruvate kinase, also present on the membranes, were comparable to those in the homogenates when these three enzymes were fully activated. In the SPM all three enzymes, particularly enolase, were partially cryptic in that enzymatic activities were very low unless the membranes were treated with Triton X-100. They were resistant to both low-salt and high-salt extraction and to trypsin, except when Triton X-100 was present. These results suggest that the enzymes are tightly bound protein components of the membrane and that they may constitute an assembly capable of generating ATP.

Abstract
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was purified from the breast muscles of 3-week-old chickens and used to raise a specific antiserum in rabbits. This antiserum was coupled to an in vitro translation assay to monitor the purification of GAPDH mRNA. RNA was isolated from identical breast muscles and consecutively fractionated with several techniques to yield a preparation of GAPDH mRNA which was at least 50% pure. Double-stranded cDNA was made against this purified RNA, inserted into pBR322, and used to transform Escherichia coli. Recombinants were screened by colony filter hybridization with a cDNA probe made against the purified RNA. The hybridization-positive clone with the largest insert, pGAD-28, was then characterized by using pGAD-28-cellulose to select complementary RNA from total poly(A) RNA and then translating the hybridization-selected RNA in vitro. The single translation product was shown to be GAPDH by (1) comigration with pure GAPDH on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, (2) precipitation with specific anti-GAPDH antiserum, (3) cyanylation fingerprinting, and (4) AMP-agarose affinity chromatography. pGAD-28 was mapped with several restriction enzymes and then sequenced by the method of Maxam and Gilbert [Maxam, A. M., & Gilbert, W. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 560]. The 1261-nucleotide insert was found to contain 29 nucleotides of noncoding sequence at the 5' end, the entire coding region, and 230 nucleotides of the 3'-noncoding region including a poly(A) addition signal (AATAAA) and the first five residues of the poly(A) tail.

Abstract
Using a line of epithelial cells (SCCA5) derived from a spontaneous rat carcinoma, the glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) has been shown by time-lapse cinemicrography to produce a cessation of motility by 1 hour that can be reversed by replacement of the 2DG, and does not occur in equivalent media with or without glucose or in 2DG-containing media with added pyruvate and citrate. The effect on the cells at the edge of an epithelial island is to prevent the formation of new lamellipodia and produce a progressive retraction and condensation of lamellipodia already present. This effect of 2DG on motility corresponds with a significant reduction in the level of ATP that is partially restored after 30 minutes in the recovery incubation. Only a slight reduction in protein synthesis occurs in the presence of 2DG. The external morphology and the cytoplasmic ground substance of the cells were studied by scanning electron microscopy and high voltage electron microscopy respectively. It was found that after incubation in 2DG for 1 hour the outline of the free edges of the cells was distorted resulting in redistribution of microvilli, condensation of cytoplasm into strands, and irregular projections from the edges of residual lamellipodia. The structure of the cytoplasmic ground substance in lamellipodia from cells incubated in 2DG for 3 hours was distinctly different from that in cells incubated for 3 hours in 2DG then recovered for 25 minutes, or in cells incubated in glucose-containing medium for 3 hours. In the 2DG-treated cells the lattice-like structure evident in critical-point-dried cells was condensed into short thick strands that terminated in bulbous ends, whereas in cells recovered for 25 minutes the lattice material was elongated and tapering and the interlattice space relatively expanded. The results obtained support the concept of modulation occurring in the structure of the microtrabecular lattice component of the cytoplasmic ground substance coincident with alterations in cell function and metabolic state.

Abstract
The axonal transport of two soluble enzymes of intermediary metabolism was evaluated: the nerve-specific form of the glycolytic enzyme enolase (NSE) and the brain isozyme of creatine phosphokinase (CPK). Previously, little was known about the intracellular movements of the soluble proteins of the cell. Although the soluble enzymes of glycolysis and other pathways of intermediary metabolism have been thought to be freely diffusing in the cytosol, many are required in the axonal extremities of the neuron and must be transported to the sites of utilization. Comigration of purified enzymes with radioactive polypeptides associated with specific rate components of axonal transport in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicates that both NSE and CPK move in the axon solely as part of the group of proteins known as slow component b (SCb) at a rate of 2 mm/day. Peptide mapping following limited proteolysis confirmed identification of NSE and CPK in SCb. Materials associated with SCb have been shown to move coherently along the axon and to behave as a discrete cellular structure, the axoplasmic matrix. Association of two soluble enzymes, NSE and CPK, with the SCb complex of proteins requires a reevaluation of the assumption that these and other soluble proteins of the axon are freely diffusible.
