Altered brain phosphoglycerate kinase from aging rats.

H K Sharma, M Rothstein

    Mechanisms of Ageing and Development
    |June 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Older rat brain phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) exhibits enhanced stability and distinct immunological properties compared to the young enzyme. These age-related differences in PGK mirror those found in rat muscle and liver tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Enzymology
    • Aging Research

    Background:

    • Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a crucial enzyme in glycolysis.
    • Age-related changes in enzyme properties can impact cellular function.
    • Understanding tissue-specific enzyme variations is important for aging studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate age-dependent differences in pure phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) from rat brain.
    • To compare the properties of young and old rat brain PGK with their muscle and liver counterparts.
    • To determine the immunological relationship between brain PGK and PGK from other rat tissues.

    Main Methods:

    • Enzyme purification of phosphoglycerate kinase from young and old rat brains.
    • Assessment of enzyme stability (heat, storage, protease resistance).
    • Immunological assays using monospecific antisera against young muscle and liver PGK.
    • Kinetic analysis (Vmax, Km) and determination of electrophoretic mobility and molecular weight.

    Main Results:

    • Old rat brain PGK demonstrated greater stability to heat, storage, and protease inactivation than young PGK.
    • Immunological inactivation profiles differed between young and old brain PGK.
    • Kinetic parameters (Vmax, Km), electrophoretic mobility, and molecular weight were similar for young and old brain PGK.
    • Brain PGK exhibited properties more akin to muscle PGK than liver PGK, based on kinetic and immunological data.

    Conclusions:

    • Age-related alterations in rat brain phosphoglycerate kinase affect its stability and immunological recognition.
    • These age-dependent changes in brain PGK parallel those observed in rat muscle and liver.
    • Rat brain phosphoglycerate kinase is immunologically and kinetically similar to the muscle enzyme, distinct from the liver enzyme.
