PG - 1145-50 AB - Changes in extractability and activity of hexokinase (HK) were studied under the action of heating and of urea on skeletal muscles of Rana temporaria L., and besides the stability of this enzyme in muscle extract to those agents in vitro was examined. Under a 15 minutes heating of muscle, a decrease in extractability (the activity calculated for 1 g of tissue) and activity (the activity calculated for 1 mg of protein) of hexokinase is first revealed at 37 degrees C. Then the enzyme extractability decreases gradually in accordance to the decrease in extractability of the total water-soluble protein; the level of hexokinase activity attained at 37 degrees does not change up to 40 degrees. At 42 degrees the activity of the enzyme is completely inhibited. Under the heating of the muscle extract, the decrease of enzyme activity takes place at 36 degrees, the level achieved being stable up to 42 degrees C. Under the action of urea on the muscle at the reversible phase of alteration (1 M urea from 5 minutes to 2 hours at room temperature, 1 M urea for 9 hours at + 4 degrees C), hexokinase activity increases, calculated for 1 g of tissue and for 1 mg of protein. Under the irreversible disappearance of muscle excitability (1 M urea during 9 hours, 2 M urea during 2 hours at room temperature) no hexokinase activity was revealed. The activation of the enzyme is discussed in connection with the data on the increase of ATP content in muscle under the urea alteration. The treatment of the enzyme in muscle extract with 1 M urea decreases its activity in 30 minutes down to 67%; the level achieved does not change during 20 hours.
