We studied the effect of an acute 4-h period of hyperinsulinemia (H) on net utilization rates (AAUR(net)) of 21 amino acids (AA) in 17 studies performed in 13 late-gestation fetal sheep by use of a novel fetal hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic-euaminoacidemic clamp. During H [84 +/- 12 (SE) microU/ml H, 15 +/- 2 microU/ml control (C), P < 0. 00001], euglycemia was maintained by glucose clamp (19 +/- 0.05 micromol/ml H, 1.19 +/- 0.04 micromol/ml C), and euaminoacidemia (mean 4.1 +/- 3.3% increase for all amino acid concentrations [AA], nonsignificantly different from zero) was maintained with a mixed amino acid solution adjusted to keep lysine concentration constant and other [AA] near C values. H produced a 63.7% increase in AAUR(net) (3.29 +/- 0.66 micromol. min(-1). kg(-1) H, 2.01 +/- 0.55 micromol. min(-1). kg(-1) C, P < 0.001), accounting for a 60.1% increase in fetal nitrogen uptake rate (2,064 +/- 108 mg. day(-1). kg(-1) H, 1,289 +/- 73 mg. day(-1). kg(-1) C, P < 0.001). Mean AA clearance rate (AAUR(net)/[AA]) increased by 64.5 +/- 18.9% (P < 0. 001). Thus acute physiological H increases net amino acid and nitrogen utilization rates in the ovine fetus independent of plasma glucose and [AA]. 相似文献

An alkalophilic bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus was isolated from an indigo ball. The bacterium exhibited a maximum growth rate at pH 10-0 TO 10-5. The incorporation of 14C-labelled amino acids or [14C]uracil, uptake of 14C-labelled alpha-amino isobutyric acid into the bacterium and oxygen consumption of the bacterium with amino acids as substrates were all maximum at pH 9-0 to 10-5. The uptake of [U-14C]glucose into the organism and oxygen consumption with carbohydrates, on the other hand, showed little variation of rate in the pH 8 to 10 region. The oxygen consumption of intact bacteria or protoplasts in culture medium was maximum at pH 10. The membrane of the bacterium oxidized NADH maximally at pH 7-5, and ATPase bound to the membrane exhibited maximum activity at pH 7.L-Lactate, L-alanine and malate dehydrogenases in the soluble fraction exhibited maximum activities at pH 7-4 to 8-4. The alkalophilic property of the bacterium may be due to the behaviour of the membrane towards charged substances admitted into the organisms. 相似文献

Crossflow nanofiltration experiments were performed to investigate the factors influencing the removal of amino acids by a commercially available polymeric thin-film composite membrane. The removals of five monoprotic (Ala, Val, Leu, Gly, and Thr), one diprotic (Asp), and one dibasic (Arg) amino acids in a range of permeate fluxes, feed pH values, and ionic strengths were analyzed using a phenomenological model of membrane transport. At any given pH and ionic strength, reflection coefficients (rejection at asymptotically infinite flux) of monoprotic amino acids increased with molar radius demonstrating the role of steric interactions on their removal. Additionally, consistent with Donnan exclusion, higher reflection coefficients were obtained when the membrane and the amino acids both carried the same nature of charge (positive or negative). In other words, both co-ion repulsion and molecular size determined amino acids removal. Importantly, the removal of effectively neutral amino acids were significantly higher than neutral sugars and alcohols of similar size demonstrating that even near their isoelectric point, zwitterionic characteristics preclude them from being considered as strictly neutral. 相似文献

The effects of pH on the integral conductance and on the properties of single channels induced by porin from rat liver mitochondria in a lipid bilayer have been studied. When the membrane potential increases, the conductance of the multi-channel membrane decreases more sharply at acidic pH than at neutral or basic pH. The channel is shown to have several states with different conductance and selectivity. The number of levels and their conductance do not depend on pH, while the selectivity as well as the dependence of steady-state probabilities of different levels on the membrane potential are substantially affected by a pH change. This dependence curve steepens in the pH region where charges of carboxyl groups of aspartic and glutamic amino acids are neutralized. It is concluded that at neutral pH the channel gate is controlled by a great number of the positively and negatively charged groups. The high steepness of the conductance-voltage curve in the acidic region suggests that at least 60 positive charges participate in controlling the channel gate. This number, compared with that of the positively charged side chain amino acids per channel, according to the amino acid analysis of the porin, led us to conclude that almost all amino groups of the channel former must pass through the entire membrane potential difference upon random motion of the channel among the states. The assumption that channel closing leads to redistribution of the electric field within the pore, changing the energy of the charges on the voltage sensor, may be the only explanation of this phenomenon. 相似文献

We investigated whether the normal anabolic effects of acute hyperaminoacidemia were maintained after 5 days of oxandrolone (Oxandrin, Ox)-induced anabolism. Five healthy men [22 +/- 3 (SD) yr] were studied before and after 5 days of oral Ox (15 mg/day). In each study, a 5-h basal period was followed by a 3-h primed-continuous infusion of a commercial amino acid mixture (10% Travasol). Stable isotopic data from blood and muscle sampling were analyzed using a three-compartment model to calculate muscle protein synthesis and breakdown. Model-derived muscle protein synthesis increased after amino acid infusion in both the control [basal control (BC) vs. control + amino acids (C+AA); P < 0.001] and Ox study [basal Ox (BOx) vs. Ox + amino acids (Ox+AA); P < 0.01], whereas protein breakdown was unchanged. Fractional synthetic rates of muscle protein increased 94% (BC vs. C+AA; P = 0.01) and 53% (BOx vs. Ox+AA; P < 0.01), respectively. We conclude that the normal anabolic effects of acute hyperaminoacidemia are maintained in skeletal muscle undergoing oxandrolone-induced anabolism. 相似文献

The pores formed by Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal toxins have been shown to allow the diffusion of a variety of monovalent cations and anions and neutral solutes. To further characterize their ion selectivity, membrane permeability induced by Cry1Aa and Cry1Ac to amino acids (Asp, Glu, Ser, Leu, His, Lys and Arg) and to divalent cations (Mg(2+), Ca(2+) and Ba(2+)) and anions (SO(4)(2-) and phosphate) was analyzed at pH 7.5 and 10.5 with midgut brush border membrane vesicles isolated from Manduca sexta and an osmotic swelling assay. Shifting pH from 7.5 to 10.5 increases the proportion of the more negatively charged species of amino acids and phosphate ions. All amino acids diffused well across the toxin-induced pores, but, except for aspartate and glutamate, amino acid permeability was lower at the higher pH. In the presence of either toxin, membrane permeability was higher for the chloride salts of divalent cations than for the potassium salts of divalent anions. These results clearly indicate that the pores are cation-selective. 相似文献

The thrombin-dependent enrichment of alkenylacyl ethanolamine phosphoglyceride in [14C]eicosapentaenoic acid [( 14C]EPA) was demonstrated and compared with [3H]arachidonic acid [( 3H]AA) following the simultaneous prelabelling of individual human platelet phospholipids with these two fatty acids. The alkenylacyl, diacyl, and alkylacyl classes of ethanolamine phosphoglycerides (PE) were separated by thin-layer chromatography as their acetylated derivatives after hydrolysis of the parent phospholipid with phospholipase C. The ratios of [3H]/[14C] for the increased radioactivity appearing in alkenylacyl PE following 60 and 120 s of thrombin stimulation were the same as the corresponding ratio (2.0) found in the choline phosphoglycerides (PC) from control (unstimulated) platelets. These results suggest no significant selectivity between EPA and AA in the thrombin-stimulated transfer of these fatty acids from diacyl PC to alkenylacyl PE. The present findings may possibly bear some relevance to the altered platelet reactivity and (or) decreased thromboxane A2 formation observed in human subjects following the ingestion of marine lipid containing EPA. 相似文献

Protein and certain amino acids (AA) have been found to lower blood glucose. Although these glucose-lowering AA are important modulators of skeletal muscle metabolism, their impact on muscle glucose uptake remains unclear. We therefore examined how an AA mixture consisting of 2 mM isoleucine, 0.012 mM cysteine, 0.006 mM methionine, 0.0016 mM valine, and 0.014 mM leucine impacts skeletal muscle glucose uptake in the absence or presence of a submaximal (sINS) or maximal insulin (mINS) concentration. The AA mixture, sINS, and mINS significantly increased 2-[(3)H]deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake by 63, 79, and 298% above basal, respectively. When the AA mixture was combined with sINS and mINS, 2-DG uptake was further increased significantly by 26% (P = 0.028) and 14% (P = 0.032), respectively. Western blotting analysis revealed that the AA mixture increased basal and sINS Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) phosphorylation, while AA mixture did not change phosphorylation of Akt or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) under these conditions. Interestingly, addition of the AA mixture to mINS increased phosphorylation of mTOR, Akt as well as AS160, compared with mINS alone. These data suggest that certain AA increase glucose uptake in the absence of insulin and augment insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in an additive manner. Furthermore, these effects appear to be mediated via a pathway that is independent from the canonical insulin cascade and therefore may prove effective as an alternative therapeutic treatment for insulin resistance. 相似文献

Tight junctions (TJ) constitute paracellular diffusion channels regulating the passage of ions and solutes across epithelia. We recently demonstrated that overexpression of the TJ membrane protein claudin-7 in LLC-PK1 cells decreases paracellular permeability to Cl(-) and increases paracellular permeability to Na(+). To investigate the effect of charged amino acid residues in extracellular domains (ED) of claudin-7 on paracellular charge selectivity, we created claudin-7 mutants by replacing negatively charged amino acids on ED with positively charged amino acids. Immunofluorescence light microscopy showed that these mutant proteins were correctly targeted to the cell junction. Ultrastructure examination of TJ morphology did not reveal any difference between cells expressing wildtype (WT) and mutant claudin-7. However, electrophysiological studies showed increased Cl(-) permeability in cells expressing first extracellular domain (ED1) mutants, but not second extracellular domain (ED2) mutants, compared to that of WT claudin-7. Our results demonstrate that negatively charged amino acids in ED1 of claudin-7 are involved in modulating paracellular Cl(-) permeability. 相似文献

Maternal high-protein supplements designed to increase birth weight have not been successful. We recently showed that maternal amino acid infusion into pregnant sheep resulted in competitive inhibition of amino acid transport across the placenta and did not increase fetal protein accretion rates. To bypass placental transport, singleton fetal sheep were intravenously infused with an amino acid mixture (AA, n = 8) or saline [control (Con), n = 10] for ~12 days during late gestation. Fetal leucine oxidation rate increased in the AA group (3.1 ± 0.5 vs. 1.4 ± 0.6 μmol·min(-1)·kg(-1), P < 0.05). Fetal protein accretion (2.6 ± 0.5 and 2.2 ± 0.6 μmol·min(-1)·kg(-1) in AA and Con, respectively), synthesis (6.2 ± 0.8 and 7.0 ± 0.9 μmol·min(-1)·kg(-1) in AA and Con, respectively), and degradation (3.6 ± 0.6 and 4.5 ± 1.0 μmol·min(-1)·kg(-1) in AA and Con, respectively) rates were similar between groups. Net fetal glucose uptake decreased in the AA group (2.8 ± 0.4 vs. 3.9 ± 0.1 mg·kg(-1)·min(-1), P < 0.05). The glucose-O(2) quotient also decreased over time in the AA group (P < 0.05). Fetal insulin and IGF-I concentrations did not change. Fetal glucagon increased in the AA group (119 ± 24 vs. 59 ± 9 pg/ml, P < 0.05), and norepinephrine (NE) also tended to increase in the AA group (785 ± 181 vs. 419 ± 76 pg/ml, P = 0.06). Net fetal glucose uptake rates were inversely proportional to fetal glucagon (r(2) = 0.38, P < 0.05), cortisol (r(2) = 0.31, P < 0.05), and NE (r(2) = 0.59, P < 0.05) concentrations. Expressions of components in the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway in fetal skeletal muscle were similar between groups. In summary, prolonged infusion of amino acids directly into normally growing fetal sheep increased leucine oxidation. Amino acid-stimulated increases in fetal glucagon, cortisol, and NE may contribute to a shift in substrate oxidation by the fetus from glucose to amino acids. 相似文献

Spontaneous and electrically evoked release of exogenous labelled amino acids and endogenous amino acids labelled from D-[U-14C]glucose were compared in control and Ca2+-free medium using guinea pig cerebral cortex slices. Spontaneous release of all labelled amino acids, except that of endogenous 14C-labelled threonine-serine-glutamine (unseparated) and exogenous [14C]aspartate, was doubled in Ca2+-free medium. The major portion of the electrically evoked release of endogenous [14C]glutamate, [14C]aspartate, gamma-amino[14C]butyrate (14C-labelled GABA) and exogenous 3H-labelled GABA was Ca2+-inpendent. More than half of the evoked release of the other labelled amino acids was Ca2+-independent. As the pattern of Ca2+-dependence of the evoked release concurred with the selectivity of the evoked release for endogenous [14C]-glutamate, [14C]aspartate, and 14C-labelled GABA, it was concluded that these labelled amino acids were probably released from the amino acid 'transmitter pool'. 相似文献

Structural and functional characterization of transmembrane segment IX of the NHE1 isoform of the Na+/H+ exchanger 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is an integral membrane protein that regulates intracellular pH by removing one intracellular H(+) in exchange for one extracellular Na(+). It has a large N-terminal membrane domain of 12 transmembrane segments and an intracellular C-terminal regulatory domain. We characterized the cysteine accessibility of amino acids of the putative transmembrane segment IX (residues 339-363). Each residue was mutated to cysteine in a functional cysteineless NHE1 protein. Of 25 amino acids mutated, 5 were inactive or nearly so after mutation to cysteine. Several of these showed aberrant targeting to the plasma membrane and reduced expression of the intact protein, whereas others were expressed and targeted correctly but had defective NHE1 function. Of the active mutants, Glu(346) and Ser(351) were inhibited >70% by positively charged [2-(trimethylammonium)-ethyl]methanethiosulfonate but not by anionic [2-sulfonatoethyl]methanethiosulfonate, suggesting that they are pore lining and make up part of the cation conduction pathway. Both mutants also had decreased affinity for Na(+) and decreased activation by intracellular protons. The structure of a peptide representing amino acids 338-365 was determined by using high resolution NMR in dodecylphosphocholine micelles. The structure contained two helical regions (amino acids Met(340)-Ser(344) and Ile(353)-Ser(359)) kinked with a large bend angle around a pivot point at amino acid Ser(351). The results suggest that transmembrane IX is critical with pore-lining residues and a kink at the functionally important residue Ser(351). 相似文献

Water activity, pH and density of aqueous amino acids solutions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The water activity, pH and density of some aqueous amino acid solutions were determined at 25 degrees C in three different types of solvents. Previous published experimental data on water activity and solubility of amino acids in aqueous solutions were used together with data from this work to test the applicability of a group contribution model. The activity coefficients were estimated by the UNIFAC-Larsen model combined with the Debye-Hückel equation, taking also into account the partial dissociation phenomena of species in solution. Interaction energies between the charged species Na(+) and Cl(-) and the specific groups of amino acids (COOH and NH(2)) were adjusted using experimental solubility data. 相似文献

AIMS: Anaerobic fungi are important members of the fibrolytic community of the rumen. The aim of this study was to study their requirement for aromatic amino acids (AA) and related phenyl acids (phenylpropionic and phenylacetic acids) for optimal xylan fermentation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Neocallimastix frontalis RE1 and Piromyces communis P were grown in a defined medium containing oat spelts xylan as the sole energy source, plus one of the following N sources: ammonia; ammonia plus a complete mixture of 20 AA commonly found in protein; ammonia plus complete AA mixture minus aromatic AA; ammonia plus phenyl acids; ammonia plus complete AA mixture without aromatic AA plus phenyl acids. Both species grew in all the media, indicating no absolute requirement for AA. The complete AA mixture increased (P<0.05) acetate concentration by 18% and 15%, sugar utilization by 33% and 22% and microbial yield by about 22% and 15% in N. frontalis and P. communis, respectively, in comparison with the treatments that had ammonia as the only N source. Neither the supply of aromatic AA or phenol acids, nor their deletion from the complete AA mixture, affected the fermentation rate, products or yield of either species. CONCLUSIONS: AA were not essential for N. frontalis and P. communis, but their growth on xylan was stimulated. The effects could not be explained in terms of aromatic AA alone. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Ruminant diets should contain sufficient protein to sustain optimal fibre digestion by ruminal fungi. Aromatic AA or phenyl acids alone cannot replace the complete AA mixture. 相似文献

Integration of charged membrane into perstraction system for separation of amino acid derivatives 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The integration of a charged membrane into a perstraction system for high selective separation is reported. A mixture of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-aspartic acid (ZA), L-phenylalanine methyl ester (PM), and N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (ZAPM) was used as the model solution. The aqueous phase containing ZA, PM, and ZAPM was adjusted to pH 6 and was contacted with tert-amyl alcohol through a charged membrane. Seven different ion-exchange membranes and two different microfiltration membranes were tested for the separation system. Only ZAPM could permeate into the organic phase through SELEMION AMV and ASV. The separations between ZA and ZAPM and between PM and ZAPM were performed by biphasic extraction and electrostatic rejection, respectively. The permeabilities of ZAPM were higher than those of PM for all experiments using the ion-exchange membranes, although the molecular weight of ZAPM is larger than that of PM. The membrane that had a smaller pore size showed higher ZAPM selectivity. (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 56: 162-167, 1997. 相似文献

Effect of solution pH and ionic strength on the separation of albumin from immunoglobulins (IgG) by selective filtration 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Although protein fractionation by selective membrane filtration has numerous potential applications in both the downstream processing of fermentation broths and the purification of plasma proteins, the selectivity for proteins with only moderately different molecular weights has generally been quite poor. We have obtained experimental data for the transport of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and immunoglobulins (IgG) through 100,000 and 300,000 molecular weight cutoff polyethersulfone membranes in a stirred ultrafiltration device at different solution pH and ionic strength. The selectivity was a complex function of the flux due to the simultaneous convective and diffusive solute transport through the membrane and the bulk mass transfer limitations in the stirred cell. Under phsioligical conditions (pH 7.0 and 0.15 M NaCI) the maximum selectivity for the BSA-IgG separation was only about 2.0 due primarily to the effects of protein adsorption. In contrast, BSA-IgG selectivities as high as 50 were obtained with the same membranes when the protein solution was at pH 4.8 and 0.0015 M NaCl. This enhanced selectivity was a direct result of the electrosatatic contributions to both bulk and membrane transport. The membrane selectivity could actually be reversed, with higher passage of the larger IgG molecules, by using a 300,000 molecular weight cutoff membrane at pH 7.4 and an ionic strength of 0.0015 M NaCl. These results clearly demonstrate that the effectiveness of selective protein filtration can be dramatically altered by appropriately controlling electrostatic interactions through changes in pH and/or ionic strength.

Sequestration of the inert cytosolic marker [14C]sucrose by sedimentable organelles was measured in isolated rat hepatocytes made transiently permeable to sucrose by means of electropermeabilization. Lysosomal integrity, protein degradation, autophagic sequestration, and other cellular functions were not significantly impaired by the electric treatment. Hepatocytes sequestered sucrose at an initial rate of approximately 10%/h, which is threefold higher than the estimated rate of autophagic-lysosomal protein degradation. Almost one-third would appear to represent mitochondrial fluid uptake; the rest was nearly completely and specifically inhibited by 3-methyladenine (3MA) and can be regarded as autophagic sequestration. A complete amino acid mixture was somewhat less inhibitory than 3MA, and partially antagonized the effect of the latter. This paradoxical effect, taken together with the high sequestration rate, may suggest heterogeneity as well as selectivity in autophagic sequestration. There was no detectable recycling of sequestered [14C]sucrose between organelles and cytosol. Studies of individual amino acids revealed histidine as the most effective sequestration inhibitor. Leucine may have a regulatory function, as indicated by its unique additive/synergistic effect, and a combination of Leu + His was as effective as the complete amino acid mixture. Asparagine inhibited sequestration only 20%, i.e., its very strong effect on overall (long-lived) protein degradation must partially be due to post-sequestrational inhibition. The lysosomal (amine-sensitive) degradation of short-lived protein was incompletely inhibited by 3MA, indicating a contribution from nonautophagic processes like crinophagy and endocytic membrane influx. The ability of an amino acid mixture to specifically antagonize the inhibition of short-lived protein degradation by AsN + GIN (but not by 3MA) may suggest complex amino acid interactions at the level of fusion between lysosomes and other vesicles in addition to the equally complex interactions at the level of autophagic sequestration. 相似文献

In this paper, an integrated process involving the mixed ionic liquids/water two-phase system (MILWS) is proposed to improve the efficiency for enzymatic hydrolysis of penicillin G. First, hydrophilic [C4mim]BF4 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoraborate) and NaH2PO4 salt form an ionic liquids aqueous two-phase system (ILATPS), which could extract penicillin from its fermentation broth efficiently. Second, a hydrophobic [C4mim]PF6 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoraphosphate) is introduced into the ionic liquids-rich phase of ILATPS containing penicillin and converses it into MILWS. Penicillin is hydrolyzed by penicillin acylase in the water phase of MILWS at pH 5. The byproduct phenylacetic acid (PAA) is partitioned into the ionic liquids mixture phase, while the intended product 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) is precipitated at this pH. In comparison with a similar butyl acetate/water system (BAWS) at pH 4, MILWS exhibits two advantages. (1) The selectivity between PAA and penicillin is greatly optimized at pH 5 by varying the mole ratio of [C4mim]PF6/[C4mim]BF4 in MILWS, whereas in BAWS the unalterable nature of the organic solvent restricts the optimized pH for maximum selectivity between PAA and penicillin at pH 4. (2) The pH for 6-APA precipitation in BAWS is 4, whereas it shifts to pH 5 in MILWS due to the complexation between negatively charged 6-APA and the cationic surface of the ionic liquids micelle. As a result, the removal of the two products from the enzyme sphere at relatively high pH is permitted in MILWS, which is beneficial for enzymatic activity and stability in comparison with the acidic pH 4 environment in BAWS. 相似文献

The transport of several amino acids with different side-chain characteristics has been investigated in the aquatic liverwort Riccia fluitans. i) The saturation of system I (neutral amino acids) by addition of excess -aminoisobutyric acid to the external medium completely eliminated the electrical effects which are usually set off by neutral amino acids. Under these conditions arginine and lysine significantly depolarized the plasmalemma. ii) L- and D-lysine/arginine were discriminated against in favour of the L-isomers. iii) Increasing the external proton concentration in the interval pH 9 to 4.5 stimulated plasmalemma depolarization, electrical net current, and uptake of [14C]-basic amino acids. iv) Uptake of [14C]-glutamic acid took place only at acidic pHs. v) [14C]-histidine uptake had an optimum between pH 6 and 5.5. vi) Overlapping of the transport of basic, neutral, and acidic amino acids was common. It is suggested that besides system I, a second system (II), specific for basic amino acids, exists in the plasmalemma of Riccia fluitans. It is concluded that the amino-acid molecule with an uncharged side chain is the substrate for system I, which also binds and transports the neutral species of acidic amino acids, whereas system II is specific for amino acids with a positively charged side chain. The possibility of system II being a proton cotransport is discussed.Abbreviation AiB
