The effects of streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia on de novo myo-inositol biosynthesis in rat testis was examined. Testicular glucose and glucose 6-phosphate levels increased significantly 10 and 12 h after stretozotocin injection, respectively. However, testis myo-inositol content did not increase appreciably until 24 h following injection of the drug. Seventy-two hours after streptozotocin administration, testis myo-inositol levels were 2.7-fold higher in diabetic rats than in controls injected with citrate buffer. No changes were observed in the Specific activities of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) and 1-l-myo-inositol-1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.25). However, hyperglycemic rats displayed testicular glucose and glucose 6-phosphate levels approximately 4- and 2-fold in excess of control values, respectively. Insulin treatment of diabetic rats resulted in the lowering of plasma glucose, and testis glucose 6-phosphate to normal or below normal levels within hours. Inositol levels remained significantly elevated compared with control animals, although slightly lower than that observed for untreated diabetic rats. Streptozotocin diabetic rats had a significantly decreased testis cytosolic NAD+NADH ratio compared with control animals 72 h after injection. The potential role of testis hexokinase distribution in the regulation of glucose 6-phosphate and myo-inositol biosynthesis in normal and diabetic rats was investigated. No significant differences in testis hexokinase distribution or in the kinetic characteristics of the soluble and particulate hexokinase activities were observed. Testicular sperm counts in streptozotocin diabetic rats were not significantly different from control values.  相似文献

An α-L-fucopyranosyl-myo-inositol has been isolated from normal urine of ABH-secretors. The compound was also present in small amounts in the urine of ABH-non-secretors. After ingestion of 20 g of myo-inositol, two secretors increased their excretion of α-L-fucopyranosyl-myo-inositol three and thirteen times respectively. The same myo-inositol diet did not give rise to any increased excretion of α-L-fucopyranosyl-myo-inositol in the urine of two non-secretors.  相似文献

myo-Inositol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (myo-inositol oxidoreductase) has been identified in bovine brain. This enzyme elutes from DEAE cellulose with 0.3 M KCl in 50 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.5. Using NADH as cofactor myo-inosose-2 is reduced selectively to myo-inositol. With NADPH the enzyme forms both myo-inositol and scyllo-inositol, however, at a lower rate. The enzyme was chromatographed on G-100 Sephadex and found to have an apparent molecular weight of 74,000. This enzyme differs in DEAE binding, molecular weight and cofactor specificity from the previously described scyllo-inositol oxidoreductase which utilizes NADPH exclusively to produce 3 fold more scyllo-inositol than myo-inositol.  相似文献

Using hypotonically treated brush border membranes, binding and transport of myo-inositol were examined.By hypotonic treatment, both total and non-specific uptake decreased significantly, but specific uptake was not affected.myo-Inositol release from membranes preloaded by incubation for 2 min was very rapid and about 98% of preloaded myo-inositol was released in 5 min of incubation. However, myo-inositol release from membranes preloaded by incubation for 20 min was fairly slow and 50% of myo-inositol remained in the membranes even after 10 min of incubation.Uptake of myo-inositol decreased by the increase of osmolarity in the medium. However, effect of osmolarity on the uptake was less significant when myo-inositol concentration was lower.Under conditions in which mainly binding occurred, myo-inositol binding to the membranes was measured. Two binding systems were demonstrated and high affinity site could bind 22 pmol/mg protein at most and the apparent Km value was 8.3 μM.Both binding and transport processes were dependent on Na+ and enhanced by Na+-gradient.  相似文献

The addition of myo-inositol to lung microsomes inhibited phosphatidylglycerol synthesis up to 94% while it stimulated that of phosphatidylinositol. The inhibition was evident only when CDP-diacylglyceride availability was limiting the rate of acidic phospholipid synthesis. Excess myo-inositol given to rabbits for two days decreased surfactant phosphatidylglycerol from 5.3–5.7% to 0.4–0.5%, and increased that of phosphatidylinositol from 5.4–5.8% to 9.3–8.6% of total phospholipid. The composition of other surfactant phospholipids as well as those in mitochondria and microsomes were little affected. The quality of microsomally synthesized acidic phospholipids may be controlled by myo-inositol at the biosynthetic surface.  相似文献

Thiamine pyrophosphokinase (E.C. 2.7.6.2.) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found to require the presence of a non-protein, non-metal compound for its activity. myo-Inositol was found capable of stimulating the kinase activity in the presumably resolved but otherwise crude sample of the enzyme. The hexytol was also found capable of inducing the enzyme in growing yeast cells. The cultured yeast cells, in which the kinase had been induced, were used as source of the enzyme for its purification. The compound that had been left adsorbed to the final column of DEAE-Sephadex was proved to have a coenzyme activity towards the enzyme and tentatively identified with myo-inositol 1-pyrophosphate. A sample of synthetic myo-inositol 1-pyrophosphate was made and its coenzyme activity was observed.  相似文献

In the conversion of myo-inositol to D-glucuronic acid catalyzed by myo-inositol oxygenase only one atom of 18O from 18O2 is incorporated into the product, and it is found exclusively in the carboxyl group. Control experiments indicate that under the reaction conditions no exchange of solvent oxygens with D-glucuronate occurs. To avoid exchange during isolation and analysis the oxygenase product was enzymically reduced to L-gulonate and isolated in that form. The results eliminate one possible mechanism for the oxygenase reaction, but are consistent with two others which seem chemically reasonable.  相似文献

D-Glucose-6-phosphate: 1L-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate cycloaldolase from rat testis or mammary gland removed stereospecifically the pro-S hydrogen atom at C-6 from D-glucose-6-phosphate. The pro-R hydrogen at C-6 remained in the product, 1L-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate and evidence is given that it is the hydrogen at C-1 of 1L-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate. The possible mechanism of cyclization is discussed.  相似文献

Summary The biosynthesis of phytic acid is known to be catalyzed by enzymes causing a stepwise phosphorylation of myo-inositol or 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate with adenosine triphosphate as phosphate donor. The kinases responsible for these phosphorylations in Lemna gibba were purified by affinity chromatography on a Sepharose gel carrying myo-inositol 2-phosphate at the binding site. Three fractions with enzymatic activity could be identified; in the first one, we find myo-inositol kinase (EC 2.7.1.64) phosphorylating myo-inositol to 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate; the second one brings about the phosphorylation of myo-inositol trisphosphate to phytic acid; the third one phosphorylates myo-inositol 1-phosphate to a myo-inositol trisphosphate. An enzyme oxidizing 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate to an uronic acid derivative is found in the first two fractions. In the presence of ATP, Mg2+ Mn2+, and the second and the third enzyme fractions in an appropriate mixture, 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate can be phosphorylated to phytic acid. The structure of the trisphosphate acting as an intermediate is not yet known.  相似文献

Atropine and scopolamine were found to inhibit the reduction in levels of brain myo-inositol (inositol) which occurs in lithium treated rats. There was no effect on the elevation of serum inositol levels induced by lithium. The anticholinergic agents produced no changes in inositol levels in brain or serum when administered alone and also they did not affect the concentrations of lithium in the tissues. The effect of lithium on brain inositol was not inhibited by methylatropine or methylscopolamine.  相似文献

An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing myo-inositol 1-phosphate was identified and partially purified from the erythrocytes of 7-day chicks. It has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 60,000, is heat stable, and has a pH of optimal activity between 6.5 and 7.3. In most regards the kinetic properties are similar to the myo-inositol 1-phosphatases of rat testis, rat mammary gland, bovine brain, and of yeast. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for a divalent cation; Mg2+ gave the greatest activity, with an optimal concentration of 2.5 mm in the standard assay employed. Zn2+, Co2+, and Mn2+ supported activity to a lesser degree. Activity was inhibited by NaF, HgCl2, and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. myo-Inositol tetrakis (dihydrogen phosphate) and myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakis (dihydrogen phosphate) were not substrates for this enzyme and inhibited the hydrolysis of myo-inositol 1-phosphate. Unlike other phosphatases for myo-inositol 1-phosphate, this enzyme cleaved myo-inositol 1-phosphate (Km = 8.6 × 10?5 m) and myo-inositol 2-phosphate (Km = 2.86 × 10?4 m) at approximately the same rates. It also hydrolyzed 2′-purine and pyrimidine ribonucleotides about as well as myo-inositol 1-phosphate, but was only 20–30% as active against the 3′-ribonucleotides and had scarcely any activity against the 5′-ribonucleotides. The amount of enzyme activity in erythrocytes of embryos, chicks, and mature chickens was the same (~29 μmol/ml rbc/h). The biological function of this enzyme in avian erythrocytes is unclear at this time. Other tissues containing this phosphatase also have an enzyme which synthesizes myo-inositol 1-phosphate from glucose 6-phosphate, but we have been unable to detect the presence of such an enzyme in avian erythrocytes.  相似文献

The myo-inositol level of plasma was determined during pre- and postnatal development of the rat. Fetal concentrations exceeded those of maternal rats by nearly 10-fold. Immediately after birth, the myo-inositol level decreased but was maintained at values 3–4 times that of the lactating dams. The cyclitol content of rat milk was high and rose during lactation to a maximum of 1.6 mM.The biosynthesis of myo-inositol from glucose 6-phosphate is catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate:l-myo-inositol-1-phosphate cyclase and l-myo-inositol-1-phosphate phosphatase. The activity of both enzymes was monitored in fetal and neonatal liver, maternal liver, placenta, and mammary gland. Results indicated that the fetal liver accounted for over 48% of the total carcass cyclase and 26% of the total carcass phosphatase activity. Developmental changes correlated well with the pattern of myo-inositol in fetal rat plasma. Similarly, the enzymes of the myo-inositol biosynthetic pathway increased in rat mammary gland in close agreement with the myo-inositol content of milk and diminished to prelactation activities within 24 hr after the onset of involution.The myo-inositol level of colostrum and milk of five human subjects was highest (2.8 mM) before birth and decreased to 40% of that level 5 days postpartum, where it remained for at least 3 weeks. Even after 7 months of lactation, the milk of one subject contained 3–4-fold more myo-inositol than all commercial infant formulas analyzed.  相似文献

Metabolism of myo-Inositol by Germinating Lilium longiflorum Pollen   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Lilium Iongiflorum pollen tubes absorbed myo-[2-3H]inositol produced labeled metabolites which were separated into acid-soluble and -insoluble fractions. The soluble fraction contained labeled myo-inositol, d-glucuronic acid, myo-inositol 1-phosphate, and at least three other unidentified compounds. The acid-insoluble fraction contained considerable chloroformsoluble radioactivity and a labeled residue. Labeled myo-inositol was also absorbed by germinating pollen prior to the time of pollen tube initiation; however, there was a marked reduction in amounts of myo-inositol 1-phosphate and glucuronic acid produced by this pollen in comparison with growing pollen tubes.  相似文献

Scyllo-inositol has been identified as a potential drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, cost-efficient processes for the production of this compound are desirable. In this study, we analyzed and engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum with the aim to develop competitive scyllo-inositol producer strains. Initial studies revealed that C. glutamicum naturally produces scyllo-inositol when cultured with myo-inositol as carbon source. The conversion involves NAD+-dependent oxidation of myo-inositol to 2-keto-myo-inositol followed by NADPH-dependent reduction to scyllo-inositol. Use of myo-inositol for biomass formation was prevented by deletion of a cluster of 16 genes involved in myo-inositol catabolism (strain MB001(DE3)Δiol1). Deletion of a second cluster of four genes (oxiC-cg3390-oxiD-oxiE) related to inositol metabolism prevented conversion of 2-keto-myo-inositol to undesired products causing brown coloration (strain MB001(DE3)Δiol1Δiol2). The two chassis strains were used for plasmid-based overproduction of myo-inositol dehydrogenase (IolG) and scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase (IolW). In BHI medium containing glucose and myo-inositol, a complete conversion of the consumed myo-inositol into scyllo-inositol was achieved with the Δiol1Δiol2 strain. To enable scyllo-inositol production from cheap carbon sources, myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (Ino1) and myo-inositol 1-phosphatase (ImpA), which convert glucose 6-phosphate into myo-inositol, were overproduced in addition to IolG and IolW using plasmid pSI. Strain MB001(DE3)Δiol1Δiol2 (pSI) produced 1.8 g/L scyllo-inositol from 20 g/L glucose and even 4.4 g/L scyllo-inositol from 20 g/L sucrose within 72 h. Our results demonstrate that C. glutamicum is an attractive host for the biotechnological production of scyllo-inositol and potentially further myo-inositol-derived products.  相似文献

myo-Inositol 1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) and 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.25) were isolated and partially purified from lactating rat mammary gland. The synthase had an apparent molecular weight of 290,000 as determined by gel filtration; its pH optimum was 7.2, and the Km for glucose 6-phosphate was 0.5 mm. No other compound could act as a substrate, but the synthase was inhibited 100% by d-gluconic acid 6-phosphate, 54% by d-fructose 6-phosphate, 31.8% by d-galactose 6-phosphate, and 29.6% by d-mannose 6-phosphate each at 5mm. Activity was stimulated 2-fold by the addition of 1 mm NAD+ and 40% by 14 mm ammonium ions, whereas it was inhibited by 30% in the presence of 1 mm NADH and by 93.6% when incubated with 1 mmp-mercuribenzoate. Reagents which interfere with Schiff-base formation, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and trinitrobenzenesulfonate, inhibited the enzyme, but EDTA was without effect.The 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphatase from rat mammary tissue appears to exist in a native tetrameric form of 210,000 as determined by gel filtration which, upon heating at 70 °C for 15 min, is converted into a stable monomer of approximately 52,000. Mg2+ (1.5 mm) was an absolute requirement for activity though Mn2+ gave 17% of the activity provided by Mg2+. Sodium, potassium, or ammonium ions were stimulatory, but lithium ions were strongly inhibitory. 1l-myo-Inositol 1-phosphatase specifically cleaved 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate and was 60% as active toward l-α-glycerol phosphate with only minor activity toward other phosphorylated compounds. The pH optimum was 8.0 and the Km for 1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate was 0.8 mm.  相似文献

The hydrogen isotope-effect that occurs in vitro during myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase-catalyzed conversion of d-[5-3H]glucose 6-phosphate into myo-[2-3H]inositol 1-phosphate has been used to compare the functional role of the nucleotide sugar oxidation-pathway with that of the myo-inositol oxidation-pathway in germinating lily pollen. Results reveal a significant difference between the 3H/14C ratios of glucosyl and galactosyluronic residues from pectinase-amyloglucosidase hydrolyzates of the 70 % ethanol-insoluble fraction of d-[5-3H, 1-14-C]glucose-labeled, germinating lily pollen. This isotope effect at C-5 of d-glucose that occurred during its conversion into d-galactosyluronic residues of pectic substance is not explained by loss of 3H when UDP-d-[5-3H, 1-14C]glucose is oxidized by UDP-d-glucose dehydrogenase from germinating lily pollen. The evidence obtained from this study favors a functional role for the myo-inositol oxidation pathway during in vivo conversion of glucose into galactosyluronic residues of pectin in germinating lily pollen.  相似文献

myo-Inositol homeostasis in foetal rabbit lung   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
In several species, lung maturation is accompanied by a decline in the phosphatidylinositol content of lung surfactant and a concomitant increase in its phosphatidylglycerol content. To examine the possibility that this developmental change is influenced by the availability of myo-inositol, potential sources of myo-inositol for the developing rabbit lung were investigated. On day 28 of gestation the myo-inositol content of foetal rabbit lung tissue (2.3±0.5μmol/g of tissue) was not significantly different from that of adult lung tissue but the activity of d-glucose 6-phosphate:1l-myo-inositol 1-phosphate cyclase (cyclase) in foetal lung tissue (81.0±9.0nmol·h−1·g of tissue−1) was higher than that found in adult lung tissue (23.2±1.0nmol·h−1·g of tissue−1). Day 28 foetal rabbit lung tissue was found also to take up myo-inositol by a specific, energy-dependent, Na+-requiring mechanism. Half-maximal uptake of myo-inositol by foetal rabbit lung slices was observed when the concentration of myo-inositol in the incubation medium was 85μm. When the myo-inositol concentration was 1mm (but not 100μm) the addition of glucose (5.5mm) stimulated myo-inositol uptake. myo-Inositol uptake was observed also in adult rabbit lung and was found to be sub-maximal at the concentration of myo-inositol found in adult rabbit serum. The concentration of myo-inositol in the serum of pregnant adult rabbits (47.5±5.5μm) was significantly lower than that of non-pregnant adult female rabbits (77.9±9.2μm). On day 28 of gestation the concentration of myo-inositol in foetal serum (175.1±12.0μm) was much less than on day 25, but more than that found on day 30. A transient post-partum increase in the concentration of myo-inositol in serum was followed by a rapid decline. Much of the myo-inositol in foetal rabbit serum probably originates from the placenta, where on day 28 of gestation a high cyclase activity (527±64nmol·h−1·g of tissue−1) was measured. The gestational decline in serum myo-inositol concentration, together with the decreasing cyclase activity of the lungs, is consistent with the view that maturation of the lungs is accompanied by decreased availability of myo-inositol to this tissue.  相似文献

A series of myo-inositol phosphates including myo-inositol mono-to hexa-phosphates was observed during growth of cultured riceplant cells. We also found that 32Pi and myo-[2-3H] inositolwere incorporated into all these myo-inositol phosphates. myo-Inositolphosphorylating activity, which depended on ATP and Mg2+, wasdetected in the soluble fraction from the cells, and the reactionproduct was identified as myo-inositol-2-phosphate.

The neutral lipid accumulation in myo-inositol deficient Saccharomyces carlsbergensis results at least partly from an enhancement of acetyl CoA carboxylase activity due to the high level of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate which activates acetyl CoA carboxylase, and due to the low level of citrate which counteracts the activation [4].In an attempt to explore the effect of myo-inositol deficiency on the metabolic fluxes, various enzyme activities were compared between the myo-inositol supplemented and deficient cells. The activities of phosphofructokinase and ATP-citrate lyase increased by 74 and 83%, respectively, in the deficient cell, whereas those of aldolase and citrate synthase decreased by 65 and 27%, respectively. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was unchanged. Unlike acetyl CoA carboxylase, elimination of low molecular effectors had no influence on their activities.The thermostability of phosphofructokinase (at 53°C) increased, while that of aldolase (at 48°C) greatly decreased due to the deficiency. The thermostability of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (at 52°C) was also unchanged.  相似文献

The myo-inositol transport system in kidney plasma mambrane preparation was investigated. myo-Inisitol uptake was more rapid than that due to non-specific uptake. Specific myo-inisitol uptake was temperature dependent and pH sensitive; the optimum was at pH 7.4. Specific myo-insitol uptake was inhibited by scyllitol and inosose-2 but not(+)-inositol, d-glucose, d-galactose or mannitol. Inhibition of myo-inositol uptake by scyllitol was of the competitive type. It showed that the transport system is stereospecific and that myo-inositol shares the transport system with scyllitol. Moreover, the specific myo-inositol uptake was inhibited by phlorizin. Counter transport of myo-inositol was demonstrated. The results indicate that myo-inositol uptake by the membrane preparation represents the entry into the intravesicular spaces rather than binding to the membrane.It was concluded that the plasma membrane of rat kidney has a cyclitol carrier system specific to myo-inositol and scyllitol.  相似文献
