title: The reduction-oxidation status may influence the degradation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
abstract: NADH and NADPH accelerate the 'in vitro' rate of proteolysis of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) by elastase and other proteases, including lysosomal proteases. NAD+ and NADP+ have the opposite effect. Since there is a good correlation between proteolytic susceptibility of proteins and their 'in vivo' degradation rates, a possible role of the reduction-oxidation status in controlling the intracellular degradation of GAPDH is advanced.
