Utilization of thialysine and selenalysine for protein synthesis by a lysine requiring E. coli mutant was studied. Incorporation into proteins of thialysine or selenalysine, added to culture medium together with lysine, becomes evident when the amount of available lysine in the medium is highly reduced, that is the mutant utilizes the isologs only after all the available natural aminoacid has been utilized. Compared to selenalysine, thialysine is better utilized; when both isologs are present in the medium at equal concentrations, up to 46% of protein lysine is substituted by thialysine and only 12% by selenalysine. 相似文献

Data reported in this paper show that both lysine transport systems in E. coli KL16 can be repressed by lysine and its isologs, thialysine and selenalysine, whereas they are not repressed by ornithine. The repression is specific on lysine transport systems; it is evident with 0.01 mM lysine or isolog concentration and reaches a maximum with 0.1 mM concentration. By comparing the extent of repression by lysine and its isologs, lysine gives the highest and selenalysine the lowest degree of repression. The shift from the repressed to the depressed state is rather immediate once the amino acid is removed from the culture medium. 相似文献

CHO cells can incorporate into proteins both thialysine and selenalysine when both are present together in the culture medium. Thialysine and selenalysine inhibit cell growth and cell viability. The inhibitory effect of either analog is additive. The inhibition of cell viability is related to the extent of protein lysine substitution by thialysine or selenalysine; it is however irrelevant whether lysine is substituted by one or the other analog or by both. 相似文献

Summary Selenalysine can be utilized in substitution of lysine by a lysine requiring E. coli mutant. The presence of some lysine in the culture medium is necessary to allow selenalysine utilization for growth; in the presence of an excess of lysine, selenalysine is not utilized. When utilized, selenalysine gives rise to an increase of final growth. However, it shows some toxic effects as demonstrated by the decrease of both growth rate and cell viability. Selenalysine is incorporated into proteins in substitution of lysine. Up to a maximum of 50% of total protein lysine can be substituted. The decrease of cell viability is correlated with the extent of lysine substitution.This paper is dedicated to Professor A. E. Braunstein on his 80th birthday. 相似文献

Regulation of lysine and threonine synthesis in carrot cell suspension cultures and whole carrot roots 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Aspartokinase (EC 2.7.2.4), homoserine-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.3) and dihydrodipicolinic-acid-synthase (EC 4.2.1.52) activities were examined in extracts from 1-year-old and 11-year-old cell suspension cultures and whole roots of garden carrot (Daucus carota L.). Aspartokinase activity from suspension cultures was inhibited 85% by 10 mM L-lysine and 15% by 10mM L-threonine. In contrast, aspartokinase activity from whole roots was inhibited 45% by 10 mM lysine and 55% by 10 mM threonine. This difference may be based upon alterations in the ratios of the two forms (lysine-and threonine-sensitive) of aspartokinase, since the activity is consistently inhibited 100% by lysine+threonine. Only one form each of homoserine dehydrogenase and of dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase was found in extracts from cell suspension cultures and whole roots. The regulatory properties of either enzyme were identical from the two sources. In both the direction of homoserine formation and aspartic--semialdehyde formation, homoserine dehydrogenase activities were inhibited by 10mM threonine and 10 mM L-cysteine in the presence of NADH or NADPH. KCl increased homoserine dehydrogenase activity to 185% of control values and increased the inhibitory effect of threonine. Dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase activities from both sources were inhibited over 80% by 0.5 mM lysine. Aspartokinase was less sensitive to inhibition by low concentrations of lysine and threonine than were dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase and homoserine dehydrogenase to inhibition by the respective inhibitors. 相似文献

Lysine added to grain mashes under nitrogen-limiting conditions (as in most industrial fermentations) inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This inhibition was relieved by raising the assimilable nitrogen content. Lysine-induced inhibition is not mediated through accumulation of -oxoadipic acid, an intermediate of lysine metabolism which accumulates by a back up of intermediates in de novo synthesis. Lysine degradation is regulated by the synthesis of L-lysine -aminotransferase, an enzyme that catalyses the first step in one of three possible routes of lysine degradation (not previously reported in S. cerevisiae). Synthesis is repressed under nitrogenlimiting conditions, but derepressed when excess assimilable nitrogen is available. Derepression results in degradation of lysine and decreases inhibitory effects on growth. The toxic compound appears to be lysine itself.The authors are with the Department of Applied Microbiology and Food Science, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7N 0W0. Canada 相似文献

Selenalysine is a lysine analog having the gamma-methylene group substituted by a selenium atom. It has been demonstrated that selenalysine is activated and transferred to tRNAlys by either Escherichia coli or rat liver aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, and inhibits lysine incorporation into polypeptides in protein-synthesizing systems from E. coli, rat liver or rabbit reticulocytes. All tests were performed in comparison with thialysine, a lysine analog having the gamma-methylene group substituted by a sulfur atom. In all the reactions studied, both thialysine and selenalysine act as competitive inhibitors of lysine. With respect to thialysine, selenalysine act as competitive inhibitors of lysine. With respect to thialysine, selenalysine shows a slightly lower activity as lysine inhibitor. 相似文献

The effects of lysine analogs and aspartate-derived amino acidson the growth of wheat cell suspension culture were studied.S-(2-Aminoethyl)-L-cysteine (AEC), -hydroxylysine (DHL) andtrans-lysene caused complete growth inhibition at 1.0 mM. Thegrowth inhibition of lysine analogs were, in the order of decreasingeffectiveness; AECDHL, trans-lysene>oxalysine, homolysineand lysyne. cis-Lysene and methyllysine were not inhibitoryeven at concentrations of 10 mM. Lysine effectively relievedgrowth inhibition induced by the lysine analogs. Lysine plusthreonine showed concerted inhibition, which was relieved bythe addition of methionine. Activity of aspartate kinase extracted from wheat cell suspensionculture was strongly inhibited by L-lysine; 0.75 to 1 mM oflysine was required for half-maximal inhibition. Threonine andmethionine, individually or in combination with lysine, showedno inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. S-Adenosylmethionine,when added with lysine in equimolar concentrations, enhancedthe feedback inhibition by lysine, lowering the concentrationof lysine for half-maximal inhibition to 0.13 mM. The aspartatekinase isolated from the cells cultured in the presence of 5mM lysine did not differ in regulatory properties from the enzymefrom the cells cultured without lysine. AEC at 5 mM inhibitedthe enzyme activity by 50%. Other lysine analogs were not inhibitoryto the enzyme activity even at 10 mM. Growth inhibition of wheat suspension culture by aspartate-derivedamino acids and lysine analogs were discussed in relation totheir inhibitory effects on aspartate kinase activity.

Summary Detection of (-glutamyl) lysine crosslinks is not only necessary for establishing the importance of the dipeptide as a post-translational modification of proteins, but provides information as to the importance of the transglutaminase enzyme in a biological system. The crosslink may be detected using both indirect and direct methodology. Indirect methods for its detection include measurement of masked lysines within a protein, detection of polymer formation by gel-electrophoresis and the inhibition of crosslinking by the incorporation of small molecular weight amines into the substrate protein. Direct methods for the detection of (-glutamyl) lysine require the actual isolation of the dipeptide following its release from the sample protein by exhaustive proteolytic digestion. Separation of the dipeptide from other components of the digest may be achieved by either ion-exchange chromatography or gel filtration and its qualitative identification achieved by techniques such as paper-electrophoresis or thin layer chromatography. Quantitative estimation of (-glutamyl) lysine normally involves its further separation by ion-exchange chromatography and its post-column detection following derivatisation with ninhydrin. More recent techniques include pre-column derivatisation of the dipeptide with fluorogenic reagents such as -pthalaldehyde and separation by reverse phase HPLC. With the recent advances in liquid chromatography resulting in the improved resolution of amino acids, increased sensitivity, rapid analysis times, and small sample sizes, it appears likely that direct quantitation of (-glutamyl) lysine will be the preferred method for the future. 相似文献

A component of collagen-tailed acetylcholinesterase (asymmetric; A-AChE) in muscle forms a metabolically-stable pool which can be released from the cell surface only by collagenase, suggesting that part of the enzyme is covalently bound by its tail (COL.Q) subunits. We have investigated whether this insoluble pool forms through covalent cross-linking of A-AChE to extracellular matrix glycoproteins by tissue transglutaminase (Tg; type 2 transglutaminase). Tg catalyzed the incorporation of the polyamine substrate3[H]-putrescine into the collagen tail of affinity-purified avian A12-AChE. Complexes between A12-AChE and cellular fibronectin were also formed in vitro by Tg. In quail myotubes, retinoic acid, which stimulates the formation of (-glutamyl)lysine isodipeptide bonds by Tg in myotubes, increased the proportion of extraction-resistant (er) A-AChE. Following irreversible inactivation of AChE by diisopropylfluorophosphate, entry of newly-synthesized A-AChE into the extraction-resistant pool was inhibited by a competitive Tg inactivator RS48373-007. The quantity of exogenously-added A12 AChE incorporated into the extraction-resistant pool in living myotubes was increased by Tg in the presence of calcium. The inhibition of cross-bridge formation in fibrillar collagen by -aminopropionitrile, and pre-exposure of myotubes to a monoclonal antibody to fibronectin, resulted in a reduction in the size of the erA-AChE pool present on the cell-surface. The evidence supports the hypothesis that a component of insoluble collagen-tailed AChE, once subject to clustering influences mediated via reversible docking to proteoglycans and their receptors, is anchored at the cell surface through covalent cross-linking by Tg. The high stability of the (-glutamyl)lysine isopeptide bond is likely to contribute to the observed low turnover of the erA-AChE fraction. 相似文献

Thialysine and selenalysine cannot substitute lysine as a growth factor for a lysine-requiring E. coli mutant, but can nevertheless be utilized for protein synthesis in the presence of lysine. In order to have information about the effects of lysine on the utilization of the two analogs, the extent of the incorporation of the three aminoacids into newly synthesized proteins has been determined. The analog starts to be utilized by cells growing in a medium containing either analog and lysine when lysine concentration becomes very low. Of the two analogs, thialysine is more easily utilized. In fact thialysine can be utilized when the lysine/thialysine ratio in the medium is 1/25. Selenalysine starts to be utilized when the lysine/selenalysine ratio is 1/200. 相似文献

Summary Lysine added to a defined medium at a concentration of 1 mg/ml enhances the capacity of Cephalosporium acremonium to produce cephalosporin C. The lysine effect was accompanied by a delayed differentiation to arthrospores followed by more extensive mycelial fragmentation. Higher lysine concentrations reduced the synthesis of cephalosporin C. The effect of lysine on cephalosporin C synthesis was not strain related and was not elicited by the other amino acids tested. Both lysine stimulation and inhibition were evidenct using resting cells. The lysine inhibition of cephalosporin C synthesis with resting cells was relieved by supplementing the medium with 1 to 2 mg/ml -aminoadipic acid. This reversal supports the hypothesis that lysine restricts the availability of -aminoadipic acid for -lactam biosynthesis. 相似文献

The phototrophic green sulphur bacterium Chlorobium vibrioforme f. thiosulfatophilum assimilated ammonia via glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase when grown with ammonia up to 30 mM, but above this level glutamate dehydrogenase was the key enzyme. Glutamine synthetase purified 42-fold was found to be adenylylated. The -glutamyltransferase activity of the enzyme was markedly inhibited by alanine, glycine, serine and lysine, and these amino acids in various combinations showed cumulative inhibition. Adenine nucleotides also inhibited enzyme activity, especially ATP. Glutamate synthase purified 222-fold had a maximum absorption at 440 nm which was reduced by sodium dithionite, and the enzyme was inhibited by atebrin indicating the presence of a flavin component. The enzyme had specific requirements for NADH, -ketoglutarate and l-glutamine, the K
m values for these were 13.5, 270 and 769 M respectively. Glutamate synthase was sensitive to feedback inhibition by amino acids, adenine nucleotides and other metabolites and the combined effects of these inhibitors was cumulative.Abbreviations GS

Summary The intracellular -aminoadipic acid pool in Streptomyces glavuligerus mycelium growing in a starch-peptone medium decreased during the late exponential and stationary phases when cephamycin was being produced; however, the amino acid accumulated extracellularly. Although the specific activity of lysine -aminotransferase (LAT) decreased during this period, there was no indication that the extracellular -aminoadipic acid functioned as a precursor reserve for synthesis of the -lactam antibiotic. Measurement of LAT activity in cultures grown in defined media with starch and various nitrogen sources indicated that the enzyme was synthesized preferentially only during early growth. In its insensitivity to induction by a precursor, and in its susceptibility to carbon catabolite repression, LAT behaved as a secondary metabolic pathway enzyme. Unexpectedly, however, the enzyme increased in specific activity when cultures were supplemented with excess phosphate. Unlike LAT, cadeverine aminotransferase was inducible by lysine or cadaverine and insensitive to phosphate; its features were consistent with a role in the catabolism of lysine by S. clavuligerus.

Summary The role of the enzyme, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase on the uptake of amino acids by the brushborder membrane of the rat proximal tubule was examined by inhibiting it with AT-125 (l-[S, 5S]--amino-3-chloro-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazoleacetic acid). AT-125 inhibited 98% of the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase when incubated for 20 min at 37°C with rat brushborder membrane vesicles. AT-125 given to ratsin vivo inhibited 90% of the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in subsequently isolated brushborder membrane vesicles from these animals. AT-125 inhibition of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase bothin vivo andin vitro had no effect on the brushborder membrane uptake of cystine. Similarly, there was no effect of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase inhibition by AT-125 on glutamine, proline, glycine, methionine, leucine or lysine uptake by brushborder membrane vesicles. Furthermore, the uptake of cystine by isolated rat renal cortical tubule fragments, in which the complete gamma-glutamyl cycle is present, was unaffected by AT-125 inhibition of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. Therefore, in the two model systems studied, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase did not appear to play a role in the transport of amino acids by the renal brushborder membrane. 相似文献

The extents of thialysine and selenalysine incorporation into cell proteins were compared in E. coli KL16 and in a mutant able to grow equally well in the presence or in the absence of both lysine analogs. The mutant differs from the parental strain in the repression of aspartokinase III (AKIII), the first enzyme of the lysine biosynthetic pathway. No analog incorporation into proteins was observed in mutant cells grown in the presence of either analog, whereas a marked analog incorporation was observed in the parental strain, where up to 17% and 12% of protein lysine can be substituted by thialysine and selenalysine respectively. In the parental strain grown in media containing either analog at different concentration the extent of analog incorporation into proteins is related to the extent of AKIII repression. 相似文献

A thialysine-resistant mutant of E. coli strain KL16 also shows a lower sensitivity to selenalysine, the lysine analog containing selenium. No difference between the mutant and the parental strain has been shown regarding the affinities of the transport systems and the lysyl-tRNA synthetase for selenalysine, thialysine and lysine as well as the inhibitory effects of these three aminoacids on the activity of the lysine biosynthetic pathway. A marked difference between the two strains has been evidenced in the AK III repression: in the mutant the repression by selenalysine, thialysine and lysine is much lower than in the parental strain. 相似文献

The regulatory properties of chorismate mutase, its cellular localization and isoenzyme pattern were investigated in 23 yeast species. All yeasts contained only a single form of the enzyme, which is localized exclusively in the cytosol. The enzyme activity from all sources was activated 3-(Rhodotorula aurantiaca) to 185-fold (Candida maltosa) by tryptophan. The tryphtophan concentration, which was necessary to obtain half maximum velocity was determined to be between 2 (Pichia guilliermondii) and 95 M (Yarrowia lipolytica). Ten yeast species possessed an enzyme that was inhibited by both phenylalanine and tyrosine. The chorismate mutase from four strains was inhibited only by tyrosine and the enzyme from two species was inhibited by phenylalanine alone. The enzyme inhibition by phenylalanine and tyrosine was completely reversed by tryptophan. Six enzyme sources were not inhibited and theY. lipolytica chorismate mutase was slightly activated by both amino acids. 相似文献

A novel aminotransferase catalyzing the second step of lysine catabolism, the oxidative transamination of the -group of N6-acetyllysine, was identified and characterized in the yeastCandida maltosa. The enzyme was strongly induced in cells grown on L-lysine as sole carbon source. Its activity was specific for both N6-acetyllysine and 2-oxoglutarate. The Km values were 14 mM for the donor, 4 mM for the acceptor and 1.7 M for pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The enzyme had a maximum activity at pH 8.1 and 32°C. Its molecular mass estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 55 kDa. Since the native molecular mass determined by gel filtration was 120 kDa, the enzyme is probably a homodimer. 相似文献

A 2.9-kb SacI fragment containing the ask-asd operon, encoding aspartokinase and aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, was cloned from an aminoethylcysteine-resistant, lysine-producing Corynebacterium lactofermentum strain. Enzymatic analysis showed that the aspartokinase (ASK) activity was completely resistant to inhibition by mixtures of lysine and threonine. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the submit of the ask gene showed three amino acid residue changes with ask genes encoding wild-type, feedback-sensitive enzymes. Three C. lactofermentum strains, one being aspartokinase-negative, one carrying two ask genes on the chromosome and one having a sixfold higher specific ASK activity than the parental strain, were constructed by transconjugation and electroporation, and used to analyse the role of ASK in the lysine production by C. lactofermentum. The results indicate that, in this study, feed-back-resistant ASK is necessary for high-level lysine production, but dispensable for lysine and diaminopimelate synthesis required for cell growth. 相似文献
