The activities of the enzymes nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1), nitrite reductase (EC 1.6.6.4), glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2), glutamate synthase (GOGAT; EC 1.4.7.1), glutamate-oxaloacetate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), and glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2) were compared in light-grown green or etiolated leaves of rye seedlings ( Secale cereale L. cv. Halo) raised at 22°C, and in the bleached 70S ribosome-deficient leaves of rye seedlings grown at a non-permissive high temperature of 32°C. Under normal permissive growth conditions the activities of most of the enzymes were higher in light-grown, than in dark-grown, leaves. All enzyme activities assayed were also observed in the heat-treated 70S ribosome-deficient leaves. Glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, and glutamate-oxaloacetate aminotransferase occurred in purified ribosome-deficient plastids separated on sucrose gradients. For glutamate-oxaloacetate aminotransferase four multiple forms were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis from leaf extracts. The chloroplastic form of this enzyme was also present in 70S ribosome-deficient leaves. It is concluded that the chloroplast-localized enzymes nitrite reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase and glutamate-oxaloacetate aminotransferase, or their chloroplast-specific isoenzyme forms, are synthesized on cytoplasmic 80S ribosomes. 相似文献

The following three potent inhibitors of hepatocytic proteolysis were investigated to see if they would inhibit the intracellular inactivation of enzymes: chymostatin and leupeptin (proteinase inhibitors) and methylamine (a lysosomotropic weak base). Chymostatin inhibited the inactivation of two of the three enzymes tested: tyrosine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.5) and tryptophan oxygenase (tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase, EC 1.13.11.11). Leupeptin had no effect on any of the enzymes, whereas methylamine had only a weak inhibitory effect on tyrosine aminotransferase inactivation. Apparently proteolytic cleavage (probably by a non-lysosomal proteinase, since only chymostatin is effective) is involved in the inactivation of tyrosine aminotransferase and tryptophan oxygenase. The third enzyme, benzopyrene hydroxylase (flavoprotein-linked mono-oxygenase, EC 1.14.14.1), is probably inactivated by a non-proteolytic mechanism. 相似文献

Five strains of trypanosomatids of the genus Phytomonas, isolated from different species of Euphorbia {Euphorbia heterophylla, E. characias, E. pinea, E. hyssopifolia) and from Manihot escutenta, were cultured and compared through the electrophoretic mobility of isoenzymes of six enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), phosphoglucomutase (EC 2.7.5.1), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), glucosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), and malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.40). The strains could be distinguished from one another by their respective isoenzyme profiles. 相似文献

In vitro and in vivo evidence indicates that circulating platelets affect both vascular integrity and hemostasis. How platelets enhance the permeability barrier of the vascular endothelium is not well understood. We measured the effect of isolated human platelets on human pulmonary artery endothelial cell (EC) barrier integrity by monitoring transmonolayer electrical resistance. EC barrier function was significantly increased by the addition of platelets ( approximately 40% maximum, 2.5 x 106 platelets/ml). Platelet supernatants, derived from 2.5 x 106 platelets/ml, reproduced the barrier enhancement and reversed the barrier dysfunction produced by the edemagenic agonist thrombin, which implicates a soluble barrier-promoting factor. The barrier-enhancing effect of platelet supernatants was heat stable but was attenuated by either charcoal delipidation (suggesting a vasoactive lipid mediator) or pertussis toxin, implying involvement of a Gialpha-coupled receptor signal transduction pathway. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a sphingolipid that is released from activated platelets, is known to ligate G protein-coupled EC differentiation gene (EDG) receptors, increase EC electrical resistance, and reorganize the actin cytoskeleton (Garcia JG, Liu F, Verin AD, Birukova A, Dechert MA, Gerthoffer WT, Bamberg JR, and English D. J Clin Invest 108: 689-701, 2001). Infection of EC with an adenoviral vector expressing an antisense oligonucleotide directed against EDG-1 but not infection with control vector attenuated the barrier-enhancing effect of both platelet supernatants and S1P. These results indicate that a major physiologically relevant vascular barrier-protective mediator produced by human platelets is S1P. 相似文献

1. In order to assess whether the potential ability of heart ventricular muscle and liver to metabolise substrates such as alanine, aspartate and lactate varies as the sheep matures and its nutrition changes, the activities of the following enzymes were determined in tissues of lambs obtained at varying intervals between 50 days after conception to 16 weeks after birth and in livers from adult pregnant ewes: lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP)(EC 4.1.1.32), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) and citrate (si)-synthase (EC 4.1.3.7). 2. In the heart a most marked increase in alanine aminotransferase activity was found throughout development. During this period the activities of citrate (si)-synthase, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase also increased. There were no substantial changes in the activities of aspartate aminotransferase, malate dehydrogenase or pyruvate kinase. Pyruvate kinase activities were five times greater in the heart compared with those found in the liver. No significant activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) was detected in heart muscle. 3. In the liver the activities of both alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase increased immediately following birth although the activity of alanine aminotransferase was lower in livers of pregnant ewes than in any of the lambs. As with alanine aminotransferase the highest activities of lactate dehydrogenase were found during the period of postnatal growth. No marked changes were observed in malate dehydrogenase or citrate (si)-synthase activities during development. A small decline in pyruvate kinase activity occurred whilst the activities of pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) tended to rise during development. 相似文献

The activity of highly purified L-serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (SGAT, EC 2.6.1.45) from rye seedlings was inhibited competitively by 5-aminolevulinate (ALA, Ki = 5 mM) SGAT was activated by hematin. Protoporphyrin IX and hematin inhibited irreversibly the activity of highly purified glutamate:glyoxylate aminotransferase (GGAT, EC 2.6.1.2) from rye seedlings. SGAT was found to catalyse transamination between ALA and hydroxypyruvate, whereas GGAT that between ALA and 2-oxoglutarate or pyruvate. It is suggested that SGAT is involved in the process of degradation of the excess ALA which has not been incorporated into porphyrin compounds. 相似文献

The activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (EC.2.6.1.1.) I, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (EC.2.6.1.2) II and lactate dehydrogenase (LD) (EC.1.1.1.27) III have been measured in tissue homogenate and in haemolymph of Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, the specific intermediate host for the human parasitic disease schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma mansoni. 相似文献

Two proteins (form A and form B2) with aromatic-amino-acid aminotransferase activity were detected in extracts of Bacillus subtilis. A histidinol phosphate aminotransferase (protein B1) with aminotransferase activity for the aromatic amino acids was also present. The aspartate aminotransferase (L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1) (protein C) also displayed similar activity. Each of the four proteins was isolated free from the others by the successive application of DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and flat-bed isoelectric focusing at pH range 4-6. Form B2 is the major form of the aromatic-amino-acid aminotransferase (aromatic-amino-acid:2-oxoglutarate amino-transferase, EC 2.6.1.57) and the Km values of tyrosine and phenylalanine with this form are somewhat lower than with the minor form A. The Km of tyrosine with histidinol phosphate aminotransferase (protein B1) is in the same range, but the Km of phenylalanine with this enzyme is 12-20 times higher than the corresponding values with the two forms of the aromatic-amino-acid amino-transferase. Apparent molecular weights were estimated with Sephadex gel filtration to be approx. 73 000, 64 000, 54 000 and 66 000 for form A, form B2, histidinol phosphate aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, respectively. Form B2 is being reported for the first time in this communication. 相似文献

Cloning and sequencing of the gene coding for aspartate aminotransferase from the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

The gene coding for aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) has been cloned from the extreme thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus strain MT4. Partial sequence data obtained directly from the purified protein and from the two cyanogen-bromide-generated peptides confirm the primary structure of aspartate aminotransferase inferred from the nucleotide sequence of its gene. A comparison of the enzyme with other aminotransferases revealed an interesting similarity with tyrosine aminotransferase from rat liver (EC 2.6.1.5) and allowed some tentative assignments of the residues implied in the catalysis. The aspartate aminotransferase gene-flanking regions were compared to those of other archaebacterial genes already described in the literature with the aim of identifying potential regulatory sites. 相似文献

Induction of cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase by glucagon in primary cultured rat hepatocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The activity and the mRNA content of cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) were examined in cultured rat hepatocytes. Addition of glucagon (1 x 10(-7) M) in the presence of dexamethasone (1 x 10(-7) M) caused about 2-fold increase in the activity and mRNA content. Dibutyryl cAMP (1 x 10(-4) M) could replace glucagon for this effect. Maximal induction of cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase mRNA was observed 8 h after their additions. Insulin (1 x 10(-7) M) did not inhibit the enzyme induction by glucagon or dibutyryl cAMP. These results suggest that the cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase gene is regulated by cAMP, and not by insulin. 相似文献

Spermatozoa isolated from rat and mouse epididymes show a relatively high branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (leucine aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.6) activity. There is a significant reduction of leucine aminotransferase and of the isoenzyme C4 of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) in the gametes during their epididymal transit. Studies of patterns of liberation of the leucine aminotransferase and of the lactate dehydrogenase C4 from intact spermatozoa, treated with increasing concentrations of digitonin, indicate that both enzymes have the same dual subcellular location, i.e. in the cytosol and in the mitochondria. 相似文献

In order to assess the extent to which metabolism within the sheep placenta may influence the transfer of metabolites between mother and foetus at different stages of gestation the activities of enzymes concerned with some aspects of carbohydrate, amino acid and ketone body metabolism were determined in placental cotyledons resected from ewes during the last three months of pregnancy.The activities of pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40), lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase (EC 4.1.3.8), citrate (si)-synthase (EC 4.1.3.7), acetyl-Co A synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1), acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.9) and 3-keto acid CoA-transferase (EC 2.8.3.5) per gram wet weight cotyledon do not change during the period studied. The activities of alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.42), ornithine-oxoacid aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.13) and 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.30) show an increase in activity between the third and fourth months of pregnancy whilst the activities of arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) and possibly pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) show an increase in activity between the fourth and final months of pregnancy. Ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) activity declines to one tenth of its activity during this later period. The absence of detectable activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (EC 4.1.1.32) and ornithine carbamoyltransferase (EC 2.1.3.3) indicate that gluconeogenesis and urea synthesis from ammonia do no occur in the sheep placenta.It appears that the ability of the placenta to metabolise several substrates is achieved by the time the placenta reaches its maximum size at approximately 90 days. 相似文献

The activity of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) (EC 2.6.1.5) was enhanced 3-fold after a 5-h exposure of cultured rat liver cells (RLC) to streptozotocin (SZ) at concentrations higher than 100 microgram/ml (0.38 mM) in the presence of 10 nM dexamethasone, a potent glucocorticoid inducer for the enzyme. The structurally related carcinogen N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) also enhanced the aminotransferase in the presence of the glucocorticoid, but its optimal concentration was at 100 ng/ml (0.68 microM). While the cellular NAD (NAD+ + NADH) concentration was reduced to 60% of the control levels, the rate of poly(ADP-ribose) formation in the isolated cell nuclei was unaffected by treating the cells with SZ. The enhancement of tyrosine aminotransferase by SZ and MNNG was effectively prevented by nicotinamide. Using nicotinamide and its derivatives such as 1-methyl-, N'-methyl- or 6-amino-derivatives it was found that the degree of enzyme induction is almost inversely proportional to the cellular NAD content, though the activity of nuclear poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase remains unchanged. The results indicate that SZ or MNNG, in combination with dexamethasone, stimulate the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase through their NAD lowering action. 相似文献

It was possible to extract simultaneously several active enzymes involved in the carbohydrate or the amino acid metabolism from spruce needles [ Picea abies (L.) Karst.] when a) a 100 m M Na-Pi buffer of pH 7.5 containing 5% PVPP and 0.5% Triton X-100 was used and when b) the resulting crude extracts were freed from lowmolecular-weight compounds by gel-chromatography using the separation medium Fractogel TSK HW-40. Besides Triton X-100, Triton X-305, Myrij-52 and Brij-35 were tested, but 0.5% Triton X-100 brought about the most active enzyme extracts. In crude extracts prepared from spruce needles during the early summer a high increase in absorbance at 334 nm was observed when the co-substrate NADP+ was added, thus making reliable spectrophotometric assays impossible. The interfering low-molecular-weight substances could be eliminated by gel chromatography. As separation media Bio-Gel P-6 DG, Sephadex G-25 m, Trisacryl GF 05 and Fractogel TSK HW-40 (F) were tested, with Fractogel yielding the highest activities.
With the methods described in this paper the activities of the following enzymes were determined: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44), glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), shikimate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.25), NAD+ -malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) and alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2). The activities estimated for NAD+ -malate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase are in the range of those published for the needle enzymes of white spruce and Scots pine, respectively. 相似文献

In the adult rat kidney, alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1) and D-amino acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.3) were measured in glomeruli, 4 parts of the proximal tubule, 2 parts of the distal tubule and in patches from the thin limb area and the papilla. These enzymes were measured in more limited parts of the nephron during postnatal development. Adult aspartate aminotransferase activities (percentage of the highest) ranged from 100 in the distal straight segment to 25 in the late part of the proximal straight segment to 10 in the thin limb and papillary area. Alanine aminotransferase (lower by a factor of 100 in absolute terms) was distributed as the mirror image of aspartate aminotransferase within proximal and distal tubules. D-Amino acid oxidase was 850-fold higher in proximal straight segments than in medullary structures. During development alanine aminotransferase increased 6-fold and D-amino acid oxidase, 4.5-fold in proximal straight tubules but aspartate aminotransferase increased in distal straight tubles 8-fold. 相似文献

Methylotrophic bacteria, Gram-positive, with the serine pathway, were shown to have their growth inhibited by 0.5 % glycine. The effects of this amino acid on individual enzyme activities were studied in wild and mutant strains ofMicrococcus varians andBacillus licheniformis. The enzymes studied were glycerate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.29), isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1), serine hydroxymethyltransferase (EC 2.1.2.1) and glycine—oxaloacetate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.35). The last-named enzyme was found to be inhibited, the kinetic constants having been determined for two strain types. 相似文献

Hepatic tyrosine aminotransferase (l-tyrosine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.5) is known to be induced by α-methyl-p-tyrosine, a well-known catecholamine depletor, in both intact and adrenalectomized rats. The authors have studied this subject further and their results show that α-methyl-p-tyrosine does not influence the activity of tyrosine aminotransferase in the isolated, perfused liver and that hypophysectomy totally abolishes the induction of the enzyme by this agent. The involvement of hypophyseal hormones is discussed. 相似文献

Freshly prepared spinach leaf protoplasts were gently ruptured by mechanical shearing followed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation to separate constituent cell organelles. The isolation of intact Class I chloroplasts (d = 1.21) in high yield, well separated from peroxisomes and mitochondria, was evidenced by the specific localization of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39), NADP triose-P dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.9), and carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1) in the fractions. A clear separation of chloroplastic ribosomes from the soluble cytoplasmic ribosomes was also demonstrated by the band patterns of constituent RNA species in the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Localization of several enzyme activities specific to leaf peroxisomes, e.g. catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), glycolate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.1), glyoxylate reductase (EC 1.1.1.26), glutamate glyoxylate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.4), serine glyoxylate aminotransferase, and alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.12) in the peroxisomal fractions (d = 1.25), was demonstrated. Overall results show the feasibility of the method for the isolation of pure organelle components in leaf tissues. 相似文献
