Abstract A glucose-negative and a pyruvate-negative strain of Mycoplasma mycoides ssp. mycoides were isolated by their resistance to 3-deoxy-3-fluoro- d -glucose and β-fluoropyruvate, respectively. The ability of the mutants to metabolise various substrates was investigated microcalorimetrically. Results suggest that both mutants are transport mutants. The pyruvate-negative mutant was unable to metabolise exogenous lactate. The kinetics of N -acetylglucosamine and fructose metabolism by the glucose-negative mutant were similar to those of the parent strain; glucosamine and mannose, however, were not metabolised, and it is suggested that their transport in the parent strain involves glucose-specific uptake component(s). 相似文献

The strong repression of inducible synthesis of the enzymes of fatty acid degradation by glucose can be partially relieved by the addition of cyclic adenosine 3',5' monophosphate (cyclic AMP) to the growth medium. This reversal of the glucose effect by cyclic AMP is not observed in a mutant (K29) that is unable to grow on fatty acids as sole carbon source and that was found to synthesize low levels of several enzymes specified by the fad regulon. In a revertant selected for the ability to grow on oleate these effects are concomitantly relieved. By both genetic (co-transduction of the mutation with the strA locus) and biochemical experiments (an extract of the mutant strain does not show the cyclic AMP-dependent stimulation of the deoxyribonucleic acid-directed in vitro synthesis of the enzymes of the gal operon), it is demonstrated that the mutant lacks functional cyclic AMP receptor protein (CR protein). It is concluded that, like many other inducible enzyme systems, expression of the enzymes of the fad system requires cyclic AMP and the CR protein. 相似文献

Wild-type Salmonella typhimurium could not grow with exogenous cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (AMP) as the sole source of phosphate, but mutants capable of cyclic AMP utilization could be isolated provided the parental strain contained a functional cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase.All cyclic AMP-utilizing mutants had the growth and fermentation properties of cyclic AMP receptor protein (crp) mutants, and some lacked cyclic AMP binding activity in vitro. The genetic defect in each such mutant was due to a single point mutation, which was co-transducible with cysG. crp mutants isolated by alternative procedures also exhibited the capacity to utilize cyclic AMP. crp mutants synthesized cyclic AMP at increased rates and contained enhanced cellular cyclic AMP levels relative to the parental strains, regardless of whether or not cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was active. Moreover, adenylate cyclase activity in vivo was less sensitive to regulation by glucose, possibly because the enzyme II complexes of the phosphotransferase system, responsible for glucose transport and phosphorylation, could not be induced to maximal levels. This possibility was strengthened by the observation that enzyme II activity (measured both in vitro by sugar phosphorylation and in vivo by sugar transport and chemotaxis) was inducible in the parental strain but not in crp mutants. The results suggest that the cyclic AMP receptor protein regulates cyclic AMP metabolism as well as catabolic enzyme synthesis. 相似文献

When glucose was added to a suspension of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in stationary phase, it caused a transient increase in the concentration of cyclic AMP and a more persistent increase in the concentration of hexose 6-phosphate and of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. These effects of glucose on cyclic AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate but not that on hexose 6-phosphate were greatly decreased in the presence of 0.15 mM acridine orange or when a temperature-sensitive mutant deficient in adenylate cyclase was used at the restrictive temperature. Incubation of the cells in the presence of dinitrophenol and in the absence of glucose increased the concentration of both cyclic AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, but with a minimal change in that of hexose 6-phosphate. Glucose induced also in less than 3 min a severalfold increase in the activity of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and this effect was counteracted by the presence of acridine orange. When a cell-free extract of yeast in the stationary phase was incubated with ATP-Mg and cyclic AMP, there was a 10-fold activation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase. Finally, the latter enzyme was purified 150-fold and its activity could then be increased about 10-fold upon incubation with ATP-Mg and the catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. This activation resulted from a 4.3-fold increase in V and a 2-fold decrease in Km. Both forms of the enzyme were inhibited by sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. From these results it is concluded that the effect of glucose in increasing the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in S. cerevisiae is mediated by the successive activation of adenylate cyclase and of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase and by the phosphorylation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase by the latter enzyme. In deep contrast with what is known of the liver enzyme, yeast 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase is activated by phosphorylation instead of being inactivated. 相似文献

The addition of glucose to a suspension of yeast initiated glycogen synthesis and ethanol formation. Other effects of the glucose addition were a transient rise in the concentration of cyclic AMP and a more prolonged increase in the concentration of hexose 6-monophosphate and of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. The activity of glycogen synthase increased about 4-fold and that of glycogen phosphorylase decreased 3-5-fold. These changes could be reversed by the removal of glucose from the medium and induced again by a new addition of the sugar. These effects of glucose were also obtained with glucose derivatives known to form the corresponding 6-phosphoester. Similar changes in glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase activity were induced by glucose in a thermosensitive mutant deficient in adenylate cyclase (cdc35) when incubated at the permissive temperature of 26 degrees C, but were much more pronounced at the nonpermissive temperature of 35 degrees C. Under the latter condition, glycogen synthase was nearly fully activated and glycogen phosphorylase fully inactivated. Such large effects of glucose were, however, not seen in another adenylate-cyclase-deficient mutant (cyr1), able to incorporate exogenous cyclic AMP. When a nitrogen source or uncouplers were added to the incubation medium after glucose, they had effects on glycogen metabolism and on the activity of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase which were directly opposite to those of glucose. By contrast, like glucose, these agents also caused, under most experimental conditions, a detectable rise in cyclic AMP concentration and a series of cyclic-AMP-dependent effects such as an activation of phosphofructokinase 2 and of trehalase and an increase in the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and in the rate of glycolysis. Under all experimental conditions, the rate of glycolysis was proportional to the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Uncouplers, but not a nitrogen source, also induced an activation of glycogen phosphorylase and an inactivation of glycogen synthase when added to the cdc35 mutant incubated at the restrictive temperature of 35 degrees C without affecting cyclic AMP concentration. 相似文献

Both wild type and cr-1 mutant (adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP-deficient) strains of Neurospora crassa contain fructose 2,6-bisphosphate at levels of 27 nmol/g dry tissue weight. This level decreases by about 50% in both strains upon depriving the cells of carbon or nitrogen sources for 3 h. An increase in cyclic AMP levels produced by addition of lysine to nitrogen-starved cells produced no increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels. Both strains respond to short-term addition of salicylate, acetate, or 2,4-dinitrophenol with an increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Thus, the above-described regulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels is cyclic AMP-independent. A suspension of the wild type produces a transient increase of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in response to administration of glucose, whereas the mutant strain does not respond unless it is fed exogenous cyclic AMP. Substitution of acetate for sucrose as a sole carbon source for growth leads to a differential decrease in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels between the two strains: the wild type strain has 63% and the cr-1 mutant strain has 37% of the levels of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on acetate as compared to sucrose-grown controls. This may be the basis for an advantage of cr-1 over wild type in growth on acetate. Thus, although most regulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is cyclic AMP-independent, the levels can be regulated by a combination of carbon source and cyclic AMP levels. 相似文献

Inhibition of E. coli growth by cyclic adenosine monophosphate is observed in wild type strains cultured in glucose as carbon source, but not in a cyclic AMP receptor protein deficient mutant. A deletion mutant of the adenylate cyclase gene requires cyclic adenosine monophosphate for optimal growth. Using glucose as carbon source, 2 mM cyclic AMP promotes maximal rates of cell multiplication in this mutant; however higher concentrations of the nucleotide inhibit growth. Cell multiplication of wild type strains grown in glycerol is not affected by cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Nevertheless, in this carbon source the growth rate of the adenylate cyclase mutant is strongly inhibited by concentrations of this nucleotide beyond 0.1 mM. This suggests that growth inhibition by exogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate is highly dependent on the intracellular levels of the nucleotide. 相似文献

Two adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (AMP)-deficient mutants of Vibrio cholerae (biotype El Tor) were successfully isolated by nitrosoguanidine treatment followed by pencillin screening for pleiotropic sugar-negative clones. Exogenous cyclic AMP is required for the fermentation of sucrose, trehalose, fructose, maltose, and mannose but not of glucose, as well as for the formation of normal flagella and specific somatic antigens. A striking characteristic of the mutants is their growth behavior at higher temperatures. They cannot grow on TCBS selective plates at 37 C or higher unless they are provided with a supply of exogenous cyclic AMP, although they are capable of producing colonies on the same medium, even without cyclic AMP, at temperatures lower than 30 C. Since the mutants are converted to spheroplasts, spindle forms, and spiral filaments in cyclic AMP-free media at 37 C, and this phenomenon is stopped by the addition of cyclic AMP or a combination of 20% sucrose and 0.2% magnesium chloride, it is assumed that cyclic AMP is essential for the synthesis of the cell wall of V. cholerae at higher temperatures. 相似文献

1. Concentrations of cyclic AMP (adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate) and rates of insulin release were measured in islets of Langerhans isolated from rat pancreas and incubated for various times in the presence of glucose, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, caffeine, theophylline, adrenaline and diazoxide. 2. Caffeine and theophylline produced small but significant increases in both cyclic AMP and release of insulin when they were incubated in the presence of 10mm-glucose. 3. 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine produced a marked increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP in the presence of 5mm- and 10mm-glucose. However, insulin release was stimulated only in the presence of 10mm-glucose. 4. In response to rising concentrations of extracellular glucose (5-20mm) there was no detectable increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP even though there was a marked increase in the rate of insulin release. 5. In response to 10mm-glucose insulin release occurred in two phases and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine potentiated the effect of glucose on both phases. The intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP remained constant with glucose and rose within 10min to its maximum value with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. 6. Adrenaline and diazoxide inhibited insulin release and lowered the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP when islets were incubated with glucose or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. 7. It is suggested that glucose does not stimulate insulin release by increasing the concentration of cyclic AMP in islet cells. However, the concentration of cyclic AMP in islet cells may modulate the effect of glucose on the release process. 相似文献

Modulation of the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP has been associated with a regulatory role in cell division, cell morphology, and physical properties of the plasma membrane. Untransformed rat kidney cells in culture exhibit epitheloid morphology, high intracellular cyclic AMP levels, and contact inhibition of growth. Untransformed rat kidney cells transformed with the Kirsten murine sarcoma virus exhibit a low cyclic AMP content, rapid growth rate, and a loss of contact inhibition. Scanning electron microscopy reveals a distinctive difference in the surface structure of the two cell types during G1 of the cell cycle. The surface of the transformed cell is covered with microvilli while its untransformed counterpart is devoid of microvilli. The presence of microvilli can be controlled as a function of temperature by two temperature-sensitive mutants of the Kirsten sarcoma virus (ts6t6 and ts371 cl 5). In the ts6t6 mutant, growth at 32°C results in a low cyclic AMP content and the presence of microvilli, while growth at 39°C results in a high cyclic AMP content and a decrease in microvilli. The oposite effect is seen with the ts371 cl 5 mutant. Correlation of cyclic AMP content with the presence of microvilli suggests that this surface phenomenon is a function of cyclic AMP concentration. 相似文献

1. Protein kinase activity was measured in islets of Langerhans that had been incubated in the presence of agents known to affect insulin release. 2. Glucagon, theophylline, caffeine and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, agents that raise cyclic AMP concentrations in islet cells and stimulate insulin release, increased protein kinase activity. Adrenaline and diazoxide, agents that decrease cyclic AMP concentrations and inhibit insulin secretion, decreased the activity. 3. The increase in protein kinase activity produced by different concentrations of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine was apparently related to the increase in intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP. 4. The sulphonylureas, tolbutamide and glibenclamide, agents that increase insulin release, also increased the protein kinase activity; however, leucine, arginine and xylitol, which also stimulate insulin release, were without effect on the kinase activity. 5. Increasing the glucose concentration of the incubation medium from 2 to 20mm had no effect on protein kinase activity. Further, the ability of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine to increase the protein kinase activity was not affected by the glucose concentration of the incubation medium. 6. These results suggest that agents which affect insulin secretion by altering cyclic AMP concentrations may exert their effects on hormone release by altering the activity of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in islet cells. 相似文献

Mutant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO were isolated on the basis of their inability to utilize mannitol as sole carbon source for growth. Four linkage groups (I through IV) among these mutant strains were resolved by two-factor crosses using the general transducing phage F116, and the strains appeared to contain point mutations as evidenced by ability to give rise to spontaneous revertants with wild phenotype on mannitol minimal agar. Group I strains were affected only in ability to grow on mannitol; all were deficient in inducible mannitol dehydrogenase activity, and all but one were deficient in inducible mannitol transport activity. Fructokinase was induced in group I strains and in wild-type bacteria during growth in the presence of mannitol but not fructose, indicating the presence of a pathway specific for endogenously generated fructose. Cells grown on fructose contained phosphoenolpyruvate:fructose-1-phosphotransferase activity, and mannitol-grown cells contained a lower level of this activity. Group II mutants were deficient in constitutive phosphoglucoisomerase, failed to grow on mannitol, grew very slowly on glycerol and fructose, but grew normally on glucose and gluconate. Group III strains were deficient in both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities that reside in a single enzyme species. 6-Phosphogluconate appeared to be the inductive effector for this enzyme, which was not required for aerobic growth on glucose or gluconate. A single mannitol-negative mutant in group IV also failed to grow on glycerol and glucose, but no biochemical lesion was identified. 相似文献

In epithelial cells isolated from rat small intestine, we have studied the influence of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a neurotransmitter which markedly increases enterocyte cyclic AMP, and of two cyclic AMP analogues (8-bromo cyclic AMP and N6,2'-O-dibutyryl cyclic AMP) on the rate of glycolysis, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity, as well as on the rate of 3-O-methyl-D-[14C]glucose uptake. Our results show that, without affecting the rate of 3-O-methyl-D-[14C]glucose accumulation, VIP and cyclic AMP analogues were able to inhibit glucose consumption and L-lactate formation by isolated rat enterocytes. These effects occurred parallel to a significant decrease in the cellular concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and to a partial inactivation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase. These findings support the hypothesis that VIP inhibits glycolysis in rat enterocytes through a cyclic AMP-dependent mechanism. 相似文献

The intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP reached a maximum in 3.5-day old cultures of Mycobacterium smegmatis grown in the presence of glycerol as the main source of carbon. Glucose-grown cells exhibited decreased cyclic AMP levels at all stages of growth. When M. smegmatis cells were incubated with various metabolites, pyruvate increased whereas glucose, citric acid, succinic acid and lactic acid decreased intracellular cyclic AMP levels. No cyclic AMP was detected in the incubation medium. The presence of a cyclic AMP-binding protein was demonstrated in cellfree extracts of M. smegmatis. 相似文献

Treatment of hepatocytes with either NH4Cl (10mM) or fructose (10mM) blocks insulin's activation of the 'dense-vesicle' cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. The ability of insulin (10 nM) to decrease intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations raised by glucagon (10 nM) was unaffected by pre-treatment with either NH4Cl (10 mM) or fructose (10 mM). It is concluded that the 'dense-vesicle' enzyme does not play a significant role in this action of insulin and that as yet unidentified cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase(s) must be activated by insulin. Treatment of hepatocytes with either NH4Cl or fructose appeared to increase, reversibly, cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. When N6-(phenylisopropyl)adenosine was used to prevent glucagon from blocking insulin's activation of the plasma-membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity, insulin's ability to decrease intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations in glucagon-treated hepatocytes was increased markedly. Insulin's activation of the plasma-membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity can exert a potent effect in decreasing intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations elevated by glucagon. 相似文献

By selecting for growth on glycerol, but absence of growth on glucose, a mutant of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis was isolated which does not grow on glucose, fructose, mannose, or sucrose, which shows long-term adaptation to maltose, but which can grow normally on galactose, ethanol, or glycerol. In the mutant, fructose diphosphatase is not inactivated after the addition of glucose, fructose or mannose to the medium, resulting in the simultaneous presence of fructose diphosphatase and phosphofructokinase activity. Under these conditions, a cycle is probably catalyzed between fructose-6-phosphate and fructose-1,6-diphosphate, resulting in the net consumption of adenosine triphosphate and an immediate stop of protein synthesis. 相似文献

Regulation of Glycogenolysis in Transformed Astrocytes In Vitro 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1
Cultured astrocytes, transformed by Herpesvirus, were used as a model system to study several aspects of the control of glycogenolysis. Adrenergic agonists such as norepinephrine and isoproterenol caused an immediate and dose-dependent increase in the intracellular levels of cyclic AMP. Concomitant with the initial phase of cyclic AMP increase, conversion of phosphorylase b to a and glycogenolysis were observed. The elevation of cyclic AMP, phosphorylase conversion, and glycogenolysis were simultaneously blocked by beta-adrenergic blockers, but not by alpha-adrenergic blocking agents. Repeated administration of norepinephrine caused an attenuated response in both cyclic AMP accumulation and glycogenolysis. Glycogen degradation is also partially regulated by glucose availability. In the presence of glucose, norepinephrine-induced glycogenolysis is blocked, despite elevations in cyclic AMP. The direct role of glucose is postulated, since glucose analogs mimic the effects of glucose. 相似文献

A possible involvement of cya gene in the synthesis of cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate in E. coli. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Based on the following genetical experiments, the cya gene in E. coli was shown to be involved in the synthesis of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. First, all five independent cya-deficient mutants accumulated exceedingly low amounts of cyclic GMP. Second, the ability to form both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP was simultaneously restored by transduction of an intact cya locus to one of the above cya-deficient mutants. Third, a spontaneous revertant from one of the above mutants regained the synthetic activity for cyclic GMP as well as for cyclic AMP. Fourth, the characteristic of a strain overproducing cyclic GMP was co-transduced with the cya locus. These results suggest that the synthesis of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP is mediated by the same enzyme, adenylate cyclase, Interestingly, a reciprocal effect of glucose starvation was observed on the accumulation of both cyclic nucleotides. The formation of cyclic AMP was greatly enhanced on glucose starvation, whereas that of cyclic GMP proceeded at a slower rate than in the presence of glucose. This effect was observed only in cells carrying normal cya and crp genes, but not in a cya-altered or a crp-deficient strain. 相似文献

Mutants able to utilize 5'-AMP or cyclic AMP as the adenine source were isolated from an ade6 ade10 double mutant by ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis. A single amp1 mutation, primarily selected on 5'-AMP medium, confers the phenotype for utilization of exogenous 5'-AMP as the adenine source. From the ade6 ade10 amp1 triple mutant, a mutant able to utilize cyclic AMP was isolated, and the mutant phenotype was proven to be due to the simultaneous occurrence of triple mutations designated as cam1, cam2, and cam3. The cam3 mutation, but not cam1 or cam2, also confers the phenotype for utilizing 5'-AMP, the same phenotype as the amp1 mutation. All of these mutations are recessive to the respective wild-type counterparts. Cells having the ade6 ade10 amp1 cam1 cam2 cam3 genotype showed significant ability to take up exogenous cyclic AMP, whereas no differences were observed in cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in comparison with that of the original strains used in the mutant isolation. Since glucose severely repressed galactokinase synthesis in the constitutive GAL81 mutant having the ade6 ade10 amp1 cam1 cam2 cam3 genotype, irrespective of the presence or absence of cyclic AMP in the medium, it was suggested that cyclic AMP is not involved in the mechanism of catabolite repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It does, however, have a stimulative effect on the galactokinase synthesis in the GAL81 mutant in the absence of glucose. 相似文献
