The conversion of T4 to T3 by 5′-monodeiodination was studied in anterior pituitary homogenates. No T4 5′- monodeiodination was seen unless dithiothreitol (DTT) or reduced glutathione was added. DTT (5 mM) caused measurable conversion, and maximum rates occurred between 50–100 mM DTT. Glutathione was a less potent stimulant. T4 5′-monodeiodination was pH dependent, with a pH maximum of 7.5, and temperature dependent between 4–37 C. Preheating the homogenate to 75 C for 30 min destroyed more than 95% of the activity. The reaction rate was proportional to the tissue content in the homogenate. At submaximal but not at saturating DTT concentrations, incubations under nitrogen increased the reaction rate to 161% of the rates in incubations under air. There was no significant effect of 5 mM EDTA, 5′ M α-tocopherol, 100 mM KC1, 100 –M Nal, 140 μM TRH, 300 μM propylthiouracil, or 300 HM methimazole. Catalase (2000 U/ml) had a variable inhibitory effect depending on the DTT concentration. The T4 5′-monodeiodinatio...
