We have established the presence of a rhythm in the activity of 4 enzymes in in-vitro cell suspensions of human red blood cells. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase demonstrated semicircadian patterns of activity, while acid phosphatese and acetylcholine esterase exhibited circadian activity rhythms. The ratios between the highest to lowest activities varied from 2:1 to 10:1 among the various enzymes. The affinity of glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase to its substrate and coenzyme remained constant throughout the cycle. No evidence was obtained for the presence of a soluble inhibitor at the lower levels of the activity. Sonication of hemolysates with low glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogense activity yielded additional activity comparable to that of the peak activity. Sonication of hemolysates from the time of the peak activity did not change the original activity. The observations point to a role of the cell membrane in the biological clock. |
