Abstract:
:Kinetoplastid organisms possess a unique organelle, the glycosome, which compartmentalizes the Embden-Meyerhof segment of glycolysis and several other metabolic pathways. In Trypanosoma brucei many of the enzyme activities localized to the glycosome are stage regulated. Two-dimensional gel analysis was used to examine the characteristics, expression, and biosynthesis of the major glycosomal proteins. Two-dimensional gel maps of glycosomes from slender bloodforms and late intermediate-stumpy bloodforms (the precursors of procyclic forms) were indistinguishable, while those of procyclic form glycosomes showed extensive differences. Glycosomal phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and malate dehydrogenase were identified to have subunit molecular weights of 60 and 34 kDa, respectively. We detected two hitherto undescribed glycosomal proteins, one of which is found only in bloodforms. All of the major proteins, except glucose phosphate isomerase, were highly basic. Stage regulation of glycosomal enzyme activities correlated with stage regulation of specific protein biosynthesis.
