PG - 773-8 AB - The catalytic activity of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes (LDH) depends on their tetrameric structure. Stabilization of this quaternary structure is achieved by interaction of the N-terminal part of one subunit with the C-terminal region of the other subunit. The N-terminal peptides from pig M-LDH and H-LDH which are responsible for this stabilization were obtained by CNBr-fragmentation and purification on reversed-phase HPLC. The effect of these peptides on the formation of the quaternary structure of LDH-isoenzymes was investigated by monitoring the reconstitution of the catalytic activity after acid-dissociation. Low concentrations of the N-terminal peptides led to an increased, and high concentrations to a decreased yield of reconstituted LDH activity. The effects of these two peptides were isoenzyme specific. The 32 residue peptide derived from M-LDH showed the highest effect when tested with M-LDH as target enzyme but only a poor effect with H-LDH. On the other side the 33 residue peptide generated from H-LDH showed a moderate effect with both isoenzymes. The effects of the N-terminal LDH peptides are antagonized by the coenzymes NAD+ and NADH. The most significant influence was observed with NAD+ in the M-LDH peptide-M-LDH enzyme system. Comparison of the properties of the reactivation antagonists isolated from human origin with the N-terminal CNBr-peptides of LDH revealed identity in all essential properties, suggesting that the former peptides are generated by degradation of LDH.
