- 1.1. The role of histidine on the decarboxylation of porphyrinogens of 7-, 6-, and 5-COOH III brought about by porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase (PCL) was studied.
- 2.2. For this purpose hepatic PCL from normal and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) treated rats were modified with diethylpyrocarbonate.
- 3.3. The results indicated that the enzyme from both normal and porphyric animals had histidine at the binding sites of all the porphyrinogens assayed.
- 4.4. Comparative studies between the enzyme from normal and porphyric rats suggested that in vivo HCB treatment affected the active site for the decarboxylation of 7-, 6- and 5-COOH porphyrinogens III at histidine residues.
- 5.5. On the other hand arginine modification by 2,3-butanedione treatment altered 5-COOH porphyrinogen III decarboxylation for both enzymes. However this amino acid was not involved at the binding site of this substrate.

- 4.4. Protection of the enzyme against tetranitromethane inactivation was afforded by inorganic phosphate.
- 5.5. The binding affinity between the modified enzyme and inorganic phosphate was decreased.
- 6.6. Our results suggest the involvement of tyrosyl residues in the locus of phosphoryl site of the phosphorylated enzyme forms.

- 1.1. Growth, survival, ammonia excretion and Specific Dynamic Action (SDA) were assessed in the supralittoral isopod Ligia pallasii eating chemical diets with differing proportions of d- and l-amino acids. Growth and survival decreased in direct proportion to increasing dietary intake of d-amino acids.
- 2.2. Survival on diets with greater than 50% content of d-amino acids (based on total amino acids in diet) was lower than that expected based on previous work, suggesting a deleterious effect of the d-isomers.
- 3.3. Ammonia excretion and SDA correlated negatively with increasing dietary content of d-amino acids.
- 4.4. The general conclusion is that d-amino acids play no role in anabolic or energy metabolism in Ligia, and that poor performance at higher dietary levels of d-amino acids may relate to their interference with transport pathways for the normal l-forms.

- 1.1. The non-specific hen's egg yolk alkaline phosphatase is a metalloprotein (Zn2+?) composed of two identical inactive subunits.
- 2.2. A second metal site preferably binds Mg2+ (15-fold activation). Me(II))H2O)H+, a charged arginine, and tyrosine in the active site are involved in positioning and binding of the substrate and metal ion.
- 3.3. Substrate inhibition differs with pH. This may be related to the presence of two active sites in the enzyme, one in each subunit.
- 4.4. Uncompetitive inhibition with L-phenylalanine and analogues suggests a phosphorylated intermediate.
- 5.5. Inhibition is weakly competitive with Pi strong non-competitive with PPi as compared to Mg2+-free PPi, and partially competitive with arsenate.

- 1.1. The action of uroporphyrin I on erythrocytic ALA-D activity under dark and light conditions was examined.
- 2.2. Photo and non-photoinactivation of ALA-D induced by uroporphyrin I were observed.
- 3.3. Both effects were dependent on uroporphyrin concentration, temperature and time of exposure of the protein to the porphyrin.
- 4.4. Light-dependent effect of uroporphyrin I is related with the phototoxicity of porphyrins and could be produced by primary amino acid photooxidation followed by secondary cross-linking of the protein.
- 5.5. Light-dependent effect of uroporphyrin I could be ascribed to a direct enzyme inhibition due to binding of the porphyrin to the protein inducing structural changes at or near its active site.

- 1.1. d-Alanine has been found in appreciable amounts in the eggs and embryos of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus.
- 2.2. The content of d-alanine, expressed as pmol/egg or embryo, is 1.32 in the egg, 0.81 in the blastula, 0.54 in the gastrula and 0.60 in the pluteus.
- 3.3. The percentage of d-alanine with respect to the total alanine (d + l) decreases during embryonic development.
- 4.4. d-Amino acid oxidase, d-alanine transaminase and d-alanine racemase activities were found neither in eggs nor in embryos.
- 5.5. Therefore, it does not appear likely that d-alanine is subject to oxidative metabolism.
- 6.6. The decrease in this d-amino acid during development may be due to its utilization in the synthesis of a more complex molecule.

- 1.1. To investigate whether a direct protein-protein interaction between apoA-I and lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is necessary for the activation of the enzyme, apoA-I was labelled with N-methylisatoic anhydride at lysine residues. The intermolecular resonance energy transfer from tryptophan residues of LCAT (donor) to N-methyl-anthraniloyl (NMA)-labelled apoA-I (NMA-apoA-I) (acceptor) was used as a sensitive fluorescence method for studying molecular interactions.
- 2.2. In the absence of lipids no fluorescence energy transfer was measurable.
- 3.3. Fluorescence energy transfer occurred from LCAT to NMA-apoA-I in the presence of liposomes with phospholipid/cholesterol ratios ranging from 5:1 to 18:1 and regardless whether only 1 or up to 5 NMA-apoA-I molecules resided at the liposome surface.
- 4.4. This indicates a preferred binding of the enzyme directly to or in spatial proximity to the activator protein NMA-apoA-I even if enough space at the liposome surface is available to allow LCAT binding at a distance, where no energy transfer is measurable.

- 1.1.|A rapid method for estimating the activity of the first enzyme of lysine biosynthesis in yeasts (acetyl-coenzyme A: 2-ketoglutarate C-acetyl transferase, EC 4.1.3.21) is described.
- 2.2.|In the wild type strain, the fixation of one substrate, S-acetyl coenzyme A, shows sigmoidal saturation kinetics. The initial rate experiments indicate that the reaction obeys an ordered mechanism, 2-ketoglutaric acid binding before S-acetyl coenzyme A.
- 3.3.|The activity is completely inhibited in vitro by lysine and by some lysine analogs, which all show cooperative binding and have an heterotrophic effect on 2-ketoglutaric binding sites. A second class of effectors is found, including 2-aminoadipic acid, pipecolid acid and dipicolinic acid, which all affect the cooperativity of S-acetyl coenzyme A binding sites.
- 4.4.|Two types of mutations which modify these inhibition patterns without affecting the catalytic activity are described. One results in a desensitization towards lysine and lysine analogs only. The other entirely abolishes the susceptibility towards the second type of inhibitors, without affecting the susceptibility to lysine.
- 5.5.|No variations of the specific activity could be detected in the wild type strain at all; mutants showing an increased or a reduced activity were isolated.
- 6.6.|Our results do not support the existence of isoenzymes at the level of homocitrate synthetase in this yeast.

- 1.1. A charcoal adsorption assay demonstrated a large variance in androgen binding ability in female spotted hyaenas.
- 2.2. A positive correlation between plasma androgen binding ability and ovarian steroid concentrations was demonstrated in adult females.
- 3.3. The strong plasma binding affinity for testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (nM) together with the lack of cortisol and weaker oestradiol-17β binding suggests that a specific androgen binding substance, possibly a protein, is present in adult females of this species.
- 4.4. The lack of high affinity binding in male spotted hyaenas is unusual and deserves further investigation.
- 5.5. Some androgen binding in all, including males and immature animals suggests that albumin may bind some plasma androgens in this species.

- 1.1. Inhibition of inosine nucleosidase from Azotobacter vinelandii by ATP and bases can be qualitatively and quantitatively accounted for by the partial noncompetitive inhibition mechanism with ligand exclusion model.
- 2.2. The enzyme has two binding sites for the substrate with equal affinity in the absence of the inhibitor. and two species of the inhibitor sites: I1- and I2-sites. The I1-site may overlap part of each substrate binding sites, and the I2-site is separated from the substrate sites.
- 3.3. ATP binds to the I1-site of the enzyme, and prevents the substrate from binding to either of two identical sites, producing the cooperativity with inosine, whereas binding of ATP to the I2-site causes a noncompetitive inhibition.
- 4.4. Adenine and hypoxanthine bind to the I2-site of the enzyme, and the EIS complex is partially active, resulting in a partial noncompetitive inhibition with Michaelis-Menten kinetics.

- 1.1. Changes in the spectrum of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) were produced by adding an equimolar amount of native thymidylate synthase, but not by adding denatured enzyme or enzyme modified by sulfhydryl-blocking reagents.
- 2.2. The dissociation constant of the thymidylate synthase-PLP complex determined by equilibrium dialysis was 9 ± 1.6 μM, the maximum number of PLP molecules bound per molecule of native thymidylate synthase was 2.5 ± 0.4, and the Hill coefficient was 0.97.
- 3.3. No evidence of PLP binding was found with denatured thymidylate synthase, and only slight binding was observed when enzyme SH groups were blocked or when the active site was blocked with 5-fluorodeoxyuridylate (FdUMP) and methylenetetrahydrofoliate.
- 4.4. The presence of dUMP, dTMP, or FdUMP interfered with the binding of PLP to thymidylate synthase, and the presence of equimolar amounts of PLP interfered with the binding of dUMP.
