A method is described for the quantitative determination of aliphatic α-keto acids in urine after derivatization with o-phenylenediamine and bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, α-Ketovaleric acid and α-ketocaprylic acid are used as internal standards.The chemical yield is 80–100%. At physiological concentrations, the coefficient of variation after repeated derivatizations is 4% for pyruvic acid and 14% for α-ketoglutaric acid.With mass spectrometric single-ion detection at = 217, 232 and 245, the biologically interesting aliphatic α-keto acids can be determined at very low levels in biological fluids. 相似文献

Two enzymes which catalyze the formation of δ-aminolevulinic acid in two steps from α-ketoglutaric acid have been partially purified from leaf extracts. The enzymes catalyze the following reactions: (1) a novel NADH-dependent reduction of the 1-carboxyl group of α-ketoglutarate, yielding 4,5-dioxovaleric acid, followed by (2) a transamination of this product with L-alanine to yield δ-aminolevulinate. The dehydrogenase cannot be demonstrated in crude extracts since it is masked by glutamic dehydrogenase. This pathway, in which the 5-carbon skeleton of α-ketoglutarate is utilized intact for δ-aminolevulinate formation, differs radically from the classical δ-aminolevulinate synthase reaction between glycine and succinyl-CoA. 相似文献

With the report given herein all diastereomers of PGF2, PGE2, and PGD2 which bear the naturally recognized 15-S hydroxylated center, whether in the natural or -prostanoic acid skeleton, have been prepared by a route involving initial introduction of the carboxyl (α) chain (1). A major advantage of the initial α-ylation+ route is the facile reduction of the 13,14-en-15-one system with methanolic NaBH4 which proceeds without competing 1,4-reduction. The products are thus free of 13,14-dihydro-PG2 contaminants (2). The initial pharmaco logical evaluation of these diastereomers will be submitted for publication in this journal (3). 相似文献

The enantiomer selection in the nucleophilic addition reaction of optically active amines such as α-amino acid esters to phenylalanine and in as a solvent has been investigated. Stereoselectivity between the amines and the was found to change markedly according to the reaction conditions. This experimental finding is in contrast to the idea hitherto accepted that in the nucleophilic addition-type polymerization of α-amino acid the growing chain end reacts preferentially with one of the enantiomorphic having the same configuration, and indicates the importance of the investigation of stereoselectivity in the polymerization using suitable model reactions. Most acid esters reacted preferentially with , and this type of stereoselectivity increased with the of and with increasing bulkiness of the Cα substituent of α-amino acid esters (alanine < norleucine < leucine < valine). The relationship observed between the stereoselectivity and the structures of amines and was explained satisfactorily in terms of the transition state model in which the interaction of nitrogen and α-amino acid ester carbonyl as well as the interaction of carbonyl and α-amino acid ester nitrogen was taken into account. ethyl ester did not show enantiomer selectivity toward phenylalanine , but reacted preferentially with . for the reaction of proline ester with a transition-state model was proposed, which was different from the transition state model proposed for other α-amino acid esters. Some experiments were carried out to examine the transition-state models proposed. The implications of the present investigation in stereoselectivity in the nucleophilic addition-type polymerization of hitherto reported are discussed. 相似文献

Hemin XIII , hemin III , and iron were enzymatically oxidized by a microsomal heme oxygenase preparation from rat liver. These are all better substrates of the oxygenase than the natural substrate, hemin IX . The enzymatic oxidation was selective for the α-methine bridge and in every case only the α-biliverdins were obtained. The latter were readily reduced by biliverdin reductase to the corresponding α-bilirubins. The absence of isomers in addition to the α-bilirubins was established by preparing the derived azopigments and by using [α-14C] and [α-14C] as substrates. The chemical oxidation of , , and gave the expected mixture of biliverdins. It is concluded that heme oxygenase is not specific for hemin IX. On the other hand, the enzyme is highly selective for the α-methine bridge, defined as the methine opposed to that flanked by the 6,7-propionic acid residues. 相似文献

Purified enterotoxin from the bacterium Clostridium perfringens rapidly decreased the hormonally induced uptake of α-aminoisobutyric acid in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. At 5 min after toxin addition the decrease in α-aminoisobutyric acid uptake appeared not due to increased passive permeation (estimated with l-glucose) or to increased α-aminoisobutyric acid efflux. When short uptake assay times were employed a depression of α-aminoisobutyric acid influx was observed in toxin-treated hepatocytes. The depression of α-aminoisobutyric acid influx was correlated with a rapid increase in intracellular Na+ (estimated using 22Na+) apparently effected by membrane damage. In contrast, the uptake of cycloleucine in the presence of unlabeled α-aminoisobutyric acid (assay for Na+-independent amino acid uptake) by hepatocytes treated with toxin for 5 min was decreased to only a small extent or not at all depending upon experimental design. At later times, C. perfringens enterotoxin increased the exodus of l-glucose, and α-aminoisobutyric acid from pre-loaded cells indicating that the toxin effects progressive membrane damage. When enterotoxin was removed by repeated washing after 5–20 min the decay of α-aminoisobutyric acid uptake ceased and appeared to undergo recovery towards the hormonally induced control level. The degree of recovery of α-aminoisobutyric acid uptake was inverse to the length of time of exposure to toxin. Adding at 10 min specific rabbit antiserum against C. perfringens enterotoxin without medium change also reversed the effect of toxin on increased intracellular 22Na+, and on the exodus (from preloaded cells) of α-aminoisobutyric acid, L-glucose, and . 相似文献

The accumulation of α- and β-globin mRNA sequences in murine erythroleukemia cells (MELC) treated with various inducers has been studied using specific α- and β-globin complementary DNAs (cDNAs). In cells cultured with dimethylsulfoxide (Me2SO), hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) or butyric acid, accumulation of α-globin mRNA is detectable after 16, 12 and 8 hr of culture, respectively. An increase in β-globin mRNA sequences is not detected until 20–24 hr after culture. In cells exposed to hemin, both α- and β-globin mRNAs are detectable by 6 hr of culture, and a constant ratio of is maintained during induction. In maximally induced cells, the mRNA ratios are approximately 1 in cells induced by Me2SO and HMBA, and 0.66 and 0.3–0.50 in cells induced by butyric acid and hemin, respectively. Thus different inducers of erythroid differentiation in MELC lead to different times of onset of the expression of α- and β-like genes. In addition, the relative accumulation of α- and β-globin mRNAs in induced cells differs with various types of inducers. 相似文献

The accumulation of gentamicin by rat renal cortex and was not inhibited by probenecid, tetraethylammonium, cephalosporins nor α-aminoisobutyric acid, but was significantly blocked by other aminoglycosides (neomycin, tobramycin and kanamycin). The data suggest that specific binding sites for aminoglycosides are present on the surface or in cells of the renal proximal tubule. 相似文献

The Michaelis-Menten parameters, and of the initial 1-min fluxes of uptake of l-phenylalanine and of α-aminoisobutyric acid were determined for extracellular concentrations of Na+ ranging from 0.5 to 110 mequiv/l for Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. The maximal initial flux, , decreased with decrease in extracellular Na+ for both α-aminoisobutyric acid and phenylalanine but the for α-aminoisobutyric acid increased markedly as the Na+ concentration fell whereas the for phenylalanine decreased. Cycloleucine behaved like phenylalanine.The data provides strong evidence that the Na+-independent flux of phenylalanine is an exchange diffusion flux that can be varied by changing the intracellular level of amino acids such as phenylalanine. For phenylalanine, cyclolcucine, and methionine this exchange diffusion flux appears to be additive with the Na+-dependent initial flux. α-Aminoisobutyric acid also has an exchange diffusion that is Na+-independent but it has a high and is not additive with the Na+-dependent flux. 相似文献

The amino acid sequences of type I collagen containing α1(I) and α2 chains at a ratio of 2:1, and of type III collagen consisting of α1 (III) chains are known. A statistical analysis of the sequences of these α chains is presented. The inter-chain comparison showed a high level of homology between the three α chains. The interactive amino acids, such as the polar charged and part of the hydrophobic residues responsible for the assembly of the molecules, are strongly conserved. The intra-chain analysis revealed that the α chains are divided into four related D units, each with a length of 234 residues. Between the D units within a chain the polar residues show a higher variability than the hydrophobic amino acids.Besides the D units, other periodicities such as (78 residues), (39 residues), (21 residues) and (18 residues) were observed, particularly in α1 (I) and α1 (III). The D unit is a functional repeat that is formed by the interactive polar charged and hydrophobic residues and which determines the aggregation of the molecules. The unit is mainly pronounced by the non-interactive residues such as proline and alanine and appears to be a reminiscence of a primordial gene. The smaller periodic repeating units may be considered as additional genetic units or as structural units, which determine the triplehelical pitch and thus the lateral aggregation of the molecules.In contrast to α1 (I) and α1 (III), the α2 chain shows less regularity in its internal structure. 相似文献

The lectin limulin from the serum of the horseshoe crab binds to -acetylneuraminic acid and 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate residues. These interactions were examined using capsular polysaccharides from strains of and . Our findings indicate that limulin has greatest reactivity with homopolymers of -acetylneuraminic acid as compared with heteropolymers of either sugar. Polysaccharides with α(2→9) ketosidic linkages were most efficient in precipitating this lectin. Finally, -acetylated homopolymers of -acetylneuraminic acid were more reactive than their -acetyl-negative counterparts. 相似文献

The rapid transport of -cysteine into isolated rat hepatocytes escapes detectable inhibition by 2-(methylamino)-isobutyric acid at levels up to 50 mM. The system transporting cysteine instead is convincingly similar to the system described for the Ehrlich cell in structural and steric specificity and in pH sensitivity. The Na+-dependent uptake of 2-aminoisobutyric acid is almost evenly divided between Systems and , showing better accommodation of its two α-methyl groups by than in the Ehrlich cell. The hepatocyte system tolerates Li+-for-Na+ substitution better than does System , although the tolerance depends on amino acid structure. Adaptive regulation and insulin and glucagon stimulation were not seen under conditions producing these effects for System . 相似文献

The amino acid sequence of a 27-residue peptide released during the early stages of the plasmin digestion of human fibrinogen has been determined. The corresponding cyanogen bromide fragment has also been isolated from the purified α-chains of fibrinogen, although a separable fraction of those chains lack the fragment, evidently because of degradation. The peptide is the carboxy-terminal segment of native α-chains. 相似文献

Carbohydrate moieties derived from the G glycoprotein of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) grown in parental Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and the glycosylation mutant Lec4 have been analyzed by high-field 1H NMR spectroscopy. The major glycopeptides of and were purified by their ability to bind to concanavalin A-Sepharose. The carbohydrates in this fraction are of the biantennary, complex type with heterogeneity in the presence of α(2,3)-linked sialic acid and α(1,6)-linked fucose residues. A minor glycopeptide fraction, which does not bind to concanavalin A-Sepharose but which binds to pea lectin-agarose, was also investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. These carbohydrates are complex moieties which appear to contain N-acetylglucosamine in β(1,6) linkage. Their spectral properties are most similar to those of a triantennary complex oligosaccharide containing a 2,6-disubstituted mannose α(1,6) residue. Carbohydrates of this type are not found among the glycopeptides of VSV grown in the Lec4 CHO glycosylation mutant. 相似文献

An α--fucopyranosyl--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 -inositol, two secretors increased their excretion of α--fucopyranosyl--inositol three and thirteen times respectively. The same -inositol diet did not give rise to any increased excretion of α--fucopyranosyl--inositol in the urine of two non-secretors. 相似文献

The antiinflammatory activity of a homologous series of α-alkyl substituted [4-(1-oxo-2-iso-indolinyl)-phenyl]-acetic acid has been assayed by some and tests.These compounds were shown to be particularly active in inhibiting prostaglandin biosynthesis from bovine seminal vesicles, and their potency was seen to increase as the size of the substituents in the side chain increased.The antiinflammatory activity is not correlated with inhibition of PG-synthetase. Discussion of the data takes into account the plasma protein binding and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. 相似文献

The interaction of α-chymotrypsin with poly(acrylic acid)s (PAA) having different stereoregularities and molecular weights has been studied through the effects of α-chymotrypsin on enzymic hydrolysis of acetate (NpOAc). The results show that isotactic PAA inhibits the hydrolysis more strongly than do atactic and syndiotactic PAAs. The inhibition constant or the dissociation constant of the reactio-inhibiting PAA α-chymotrypsin complex decrease with increasing molecular weight of PAA. 相似文献

α-(1→2)--Fucosidase, β--galactosidase and galactose oxidase are sterically hindered by certain types of branching in the oligosaccharide chains. 1) β--Galactosidase will not cleave galactose when the penultimate sugar carries a sialic acid residue as in I. 2) Galactose Oxidase will not oxidize the galactose residue in trisaccharide I but will in II. Moreover, neither galactose nor -acetylgalactosamine, glycosidically bound as in III, is susceptible to oxidation with galactose oxidase until the α-(1→2) linkage between them is cleaved by . 3) α-(1→2)--Fucosidase action is inhibited by or galactosyl residue, as in III and IV. Removal of the terminal sugars makes the fucosyl residue susceptible to fucosidase action. 相似文献
