The purpose of this investigation was to compare the distribution of selected enzymes in mitochondria of eggs and in differentiated larval tissues (liver, tail muscle) ofXenopus. To this end the specific activities of five matrix enzymes (glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase) and three membrane-bound enzymes (glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase, 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase) including the cytochromeaa3content were determined on mitochondria isolated by differential centrifugation and purified by centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient.The greatest differences in enzyme content were found between mitochondria of eggs and those of the differentiated tissues. During larval development there was only little change in the mitochondrial enzyme patterns of liver and tail muscle. The greatest variation was found in matrix enzymes, but only little change was noted in the membrane-bound respiratory enzyme SDH and cytochromeaa3which also showed a striking correlation with the amount of insoluble mitochondrial protein.By relating mitochondrial enzyme activities to cytochromeaa3content, tissue specific activity patterns were obtained. Depending upon the degree of variation, it was possible to differentiate enzymes with “constant” and “specific activity proportions,” each group comprising membrane-bound and matrix enzymes. This indicates that enzyme content may vary independently of its presumed structural entity in the mitochondria.
