    Notes: Abstract Hexokinase in mammalian brain is particulate and usually considered to be bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Investigation of rabbit brain mitochondria prepared either by differential centrifugation and discontinuous density gradient centrifugation has provided evidence that this particulate fraction also contains endoplasmic vesicles and synaptosomes. Solubilization of the bound hexokinase by different combinations of detergents and metabolites has proved the existence of different hexokinase binding sites. Electron microscopic examination of hexokinase location by immuno-gold labelling techniques confirmed, that hexokinase is indeed predominantly bound to mitochondria but that a significant proportion is also bound to non-mitochondrial membranes. Attempts to quantify this distribution were unsuccessful since different figures were obtained using anti-hexokinase IgG affinity purified on immobilized native or denatured hexokinase. Binding studies of the purified rabbit brain mitochondrial hexokinase to rabbit liver mitochondria and microsomes confirmed that in addition to a binding site on mitochondria there is another binding site on microsomes. The N-terminal sequence of hexokinase has been shown to be important for mitochondria binding and also for microsome binding. These results suggest that the intracellular localization of hexokinase in rabbit brain is not exclusively mitochondrial and that the metabolic role of this enzyme should be reconsidered by including a binding site on the endoplasmic reticulum.

    Notes: Abstract 1. Three different immunization protocols and several screening procedures were used to prepare seven mouse monoclonal antibodies to human placenta hexokinase type I. None of these monoclonals were able to recognize the native enzyme but all detected hexokinase when adsorbed onto polystyrene plates or on immunoblots after SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 2. All seven monoclonals recognize the two different subtypes of human hexokinase I equally well. Limited tryptic digestion of hexokinase followed by Western blotting and immunodetection show that these monoclonals recognize epitopes that lie in different tryptic peptides. 3. Comparative ELISA studies showed that human hexokinase types I and II have great immunological similarities while hexokinase I from different mammalian species and yeast hexokinase are recognized with different affinities.

    Notes: Summary Rat erythrocytes, in contrast to red blood cells from other mammals, have been shown to contain only one hexokinase isozymic form identified as type I by chromatographic and kinetic properties. Rat reticulocytes contain 3.6-times the hexokinase activity found in mature erythrocytes but exactly the same isozyme. By a combination of ion-exchange chromatography, dye-ligand chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography the rat erythrocyte hexokinase was purified more than 84 000-fold to a specific activity of 143 units/mg protein and shown to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. The native protein showed a molecular weight of 100 000 by gel-filtration and an apparent molecular weight of 98 000 under denaturating conditions in sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point was shown to be 6.3 pH units. This data provides evidence of only one form of hexokinase in the erythrocytes of a mammal.
