中国氨基酸工业现状及发展趋势

中国的氨基酸工业始于1923年,当时用酸法水解面筋生产谷氨酸钠（味精）,主要生产厂家只有上海天厨、沈阳味精厂、青岛味精厂和天津味精厂,规模均很小。1965年发酵法生产味精的成功,带动了其他氨基酸的研究开发。目前,中国已经成为氨基酸生产和消费大国,年消费量约140万吨,以谷氨酸、赖氨酸和蛋氨酸为主。

补服支链氨基酸对有氧运动耐力的影响

为了研究补服支链氨基酸(branched-chain amino acid,BCAA)对有氧运动耐力的影响,给白鼠补服BCAA,检测其对白鼠的运动能力和血清游离氨基酸代谢的影响;另选择健康男性作为受试者,于测试前30min分别口服氨基酸补剂及安慰剂,采取自身对照性分析法对比12min跑成绩及最大吸氧量的变化。结果表明,白鼠补充BCAA后,有氧运动的衰竭推迟出现,血清中BCAA的含量显著提高;人体数据研究表明,补服BCAA后,12min跑成绩和最大吸氧量均显著提高。表明补服BCAA能有效提高人体的有氧运动耐力。     

槲皮素对甲硫氨酸负载大鼠氨基酸代谢的影响

为探讨槲皮素对甲硫氨酸(Met)负载大鼠氨基酸代谢的影响,将Wistar大鼠24只随机分为3组,即对照组、1％甲硫氨酸组以及1％甲硫氨酸和0.5％槲皮素组,喂养6周后,采用高压液相色谱法测定血清中半胱氨酸含量,全自动氨基酸分析仪测定血清中其他氨基酸含量.结果显示,1％甲硫氨酸干预后除对牛磺酸产生显著影响外,对其他氨基酸没有明显影响.0.5％槲皮素干预后,血清必需氨基酸苏氨酸、缬氨酸含量较1％ Met组显著升高(p＜0.05),牛磺酸、缬氨酸、亮氨酸和异亮氨酸较对照组亦显著升高(p＜0.05),而血清丝氨酸和脯氨酸含量较对照组显著降低(p＜0.05).结果表明,槲皮素可能加强甲硫氨酸转硫化代谢途径.     

Reconstruction of Pathways Associated with Amino Acid Metabolism in Human Mitochondria

We have used a bioinformatics approach for the identification and reconstruction of metabolic pathways associated with amino acid metabolism in human mitochon- dria. Human mitochondrial proteins determined by experimental and computa- tional methods have been superposed on the reference pathways from the KEGG database to identify mitochondrial pathways. Enzymes at the entry and exit points for each reconstructed pathway were identified, and mitochondrial solute carrier proteins were determined where applicable. Intermediate enzymes in the mito- chondrial pathways were identified based on the annotations available from public databases, evidence in current literature, or our MITOPRED program, which pre- dicts the mitochondrial localization of proteins. Through integration of the data derived from experimental, bibliographical, and computational sources, we recon- structed the amino acid metabolic pathways in human mitochondria, which could help better understand the mitochondrial metabolism and its role in human health.     

Carbohydrate Effects on Amino Acid Transport by Trypanosoma equiperdum*

SYNOPSIS. Uptake of ¹⁴C-labeled alanine, glutamate, lysine, methionine, proline, and phenylalanine by Trypanosoma equiperdum during 2-minute incubations occurred by diffusion and membrane-mediated processes. Amino acid metabolism was not detected by paper chromatography of trypanosome extracts. Most of 18 carbohydrates tested for ability to alter amino acid transport neither changed nor significantly inhibited transport. Glucose, however, stimulated glutamate, lysine and proline transport; fructose stimulated lysine uptake and 2-deoxy-D-glucose increased phenylalanine and methionine absorption. No evidence was found that the carbohydrates acted by binding to amino acid transport “sites.” Glucose inhibition of alanine, phenylalanine, and methionine uptake was linked to glycolysis. The rapid formation of alanine from glucose stimulated alanine release and, when glycolysis was blocked, glucose no longer inhibited alanine transport. Methionine and phenylalanine release was also stimulated by glucose. Glucose changed the ability of lysine, glutamate, and proline to inhibit each others’uptake, indicating that certain amino acids are preferentially absorbed by respiring cells. Analysis of free pool amino acid levels suggested that some amino acid transport systems in T. equiperdum are linked in such a way to glycolysis as to control the cell concentrations of these amino acids.     

Anaerobic Amino Acid Metabolism

Anoxic stress induces a strong change in sugar, protein, and amino acid metabolism in higher plants. Sugars are rapidly consumed through the anaerobic glycolysis to sustain energy production. Protein degradation under anoxia is a mechanism to release free amino acids contributing in this way to maintaining the osmotic potential of the tissue under stress. Among free amino acids, a particular role is played by glutamic acid, being a precursor of some characteristic compounds of the anaerobic metabolism (alanine, -aminobutyric acid, and putrescine). The glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase cycle contributes to ammonia reassimilation and primary assimilation of nitrate, and resynthesizes constantly glutamate for the synthesis of other compounds. Some polypeptides involved in these pathways are expressed under anoxia. The importance of amino acid metabolism for the response to anaerobic stress is discussed.
