Two periplasmic binding proteins of E. coli, the leucine specific-binding protein (LS) and leucine-isoleucine-valine binding protein (LIV), have high similarity in their structure and function, but show different substrate specificity. A key difference between these proteins is residue 18 in the binding pocket, a tryptophan residue in the LS and a tyrosine residue in the LIV. To examine the role of this residue in binding specificity, we used fluorescence and (19)F NMR to monitor ligand binding to three mutants: LSW18Y, LSW18F and LIVY18W. We observed leucine binding to all proteins. LS binds L-phenylalanine but the mutation from Trp to Tyr or Phe disallows this ligand and expands the binding repertoire to L-isoleucine and L-valine. The LIVY18W mutant still retains the ability to bind L-isoleucine and also binds L-phenylalanine. 相似文献

Dose-response decrease in plasma tryptophan and in brain tryptophan and serotonin after tryptophan-free amino acid mixtures in rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Rats fasted 15 hours were treated p.o. with increasing amounts (660 and 1320 mg/kg body weight) of a mixture containing a fixed proportion of seven essential amino acids (L-phenylalanine 13.6%, L-leucine 6.0%, L-isoleucine 12.1%, L-methionine 12.1%, L-lysine 30.3%, L-threonine 10.6%, L-valine 15.2%) and lacking tryptophan. The mixtures produced a dose-response decrease of free (by 34% after the lower dose and by 58% after the higher dose of the mixture) and total (by 10 and 31%) plasma tryptophan and of brain tryptophan (by 38 and 65%), serotonin (by 17 and 41%) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (by 21 and 49%). The mechanisms of these changes are discussed. 相似文献

L-]14C]Penicillamine is bound to RNA from rat liver in an in vitro reaction catalyzed by rat liver aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Addition of certain naturally occuring amino acids results in a significant decrease of L-penicillamine binding. The most potent inhibitor of this binding is L-valine, followed by L-isoleucine and L-threonine. Amino acids without structural relationship to L-penicillamine in the non-functional part of the molecule, such as L-phenylalanine, are ineffective. Studies on the competition of L-penicillamine and L-isoleucine, respectively, with L-valine demonstrate the high specificity of the aminoacylation reaction. They show that the change of L-penicillamine binding to tRNA Val is considerably lower than that of L-valine. 相似文献

Male healthy subjects, fasting 12 hours, ingested increasing amounts of a mixture containing a fixed proportion of seven essential amino acids (L-isoleucine 11.5%, L-leucine 18.0%, L-lysine 13.1%, L-methionine 18.0%, L-phenylalanine 18.0%, L-threonine 8.2%, L-valine 13.1%) and lacking tryptophan. The diets produced a rapid fall in plasma tryptophan which was proportional to the total amount of the amino acids ingested. Following the highest dose administered (36.6 g) plasma tryptophan fell to a minimum of about 35% the initial level and remained markedly reduced at 6 hours after treatment. The mechanism of this decrease and its potential clinical relevance are discussed. 相似文献

gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase was purified ca. 15,200-fold from cell-free extracts of Proteus mirabilis to electrophoretic homogeneity and then crystallized. The enzyme has an estimated molecular weight of 80,000 and consists of two different subunits with molecular weights of ca. 47,000 and 28,000. The purified enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis and transpeptidation of various gamma-glutamyl compounds, including the oxidized and reduced forms of glutathione, gamma-glutamyl compounds of L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-histidine, L-alpha-aminobutyrate, L-leucine, and p-nitroaniline. Glycylglycine, L-phenylalanine, L-methionine, L-histidine, L-tryptophan, and L-isoleucine were good acceptors of the gamma-glutamyl moiety in the transpeptidation reaction. Km values for gamma-glutamyl compounds were on the order of 10(-4) to 10(-5) M, and those for acceptor peptides and amino acids were on the order of 10(-2) to 10(-3) M. The enzyme was inhibited by L-serine plus borate and 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine, which are inhibitors of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidases isolated from mammals. Various amino acids alone were found to inhibit the transpeptidation competitively with a gamma-glutamyl donor. Kinetic analysis suggested that the reaction sequence of substrate binding and product release proceeds according to a ping pong bi bi mechanism. 相似文献

The time course, kinetic, specificity and sodium-dependence of L-leucine and L-phenylalanine uptake by rabbit isolated oxyntic glands were studied in order to identify the systems involved in the transport of branched-chain and aromatic neutral amino acids through the basolateral cell membrane. The uptake was measured directly in the disrupted cells after incubation of the glands with the 3H-labelled amino acid both in a sodium-containing and a sodium-free medium. The uptake of L-leucine was largely carrier-mediated whilst L-phenylalanine was taken up by either carrier-mediated and nonsaturable processes. Both amino acids were taken up by a Na(+)-independent process. The kinetic parameters of L-leucine and L-phenylalanine carrier-mediated influx were, respectively: Kt = 2.71 mM and Jmax = 1390 nmol mg-1 s-1, Kt = 1.03 mM and Jmax = 176 nmol mg-1 s-1. From cross-inhibition studies it can be inferred that L-leucine is primarily transported by a Na(+)-independent system which shows specificity for bulky side chains dipolar amino acids. The system displays similar affinities for L-phenylalanine (Ki = 2.81 mM) and L-isoleucine (Ki = 2.62 mM). Similar results were obtained from self-inhibition experiments: the Ki of the carrier-mediated uptake of L-leucine and L-phenylalanine were 2.12 and 2.40 mM (from a Hanes plot) or 3.2 and 0.8 mM (from a Dixon plot), respectively. It is concluded that a sodium-independent transport system, like Christensen's 'L' type, is shared by branched-chain and aromatic dipolar amino acids, which only shows slight differences in their affinities for the carrier. 相似文献

Aspartokinase fromMicrococcus glutamicus AEC RN-13-6/1 [a homoserine requiring, S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine resistant, lysine producing strain] was purified 71 fold.
The partially purified enzyme was inhibited by L-lysine. L-threonine, L-methionine, L-isoleucine, L-valine and L-phenylalanine
activated the enzyme and reversed the inhibition by L-lysine. Aspartokinase activity was not derepressed by growth-limiting
concentrations of L-threonine and/or L-methionine. It was not repressed by an excess of L-lysine (20 mM) and/or L-isoleucine
(15.3 mM). The degree of activation or inhibition by amino acids was dependant on the composition of the growth medium. This
observation is in contrast with the enzyme from the original (non-lysine-producing) strain which was inhibited by lysine or
threonine and in a concerted manner by threonine plus lysine. 相似文献

Neurological dysfunction is common in patients with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). However, the mechanisms underlying the neuropathology of this disorder are poorly known. In the present study we investigated the effect of acute hyperleucinemia on plasma and brain concentrations of amino acids. Fifteen-day-old rats were injected subcutaneously with 6 micromol L-leucine per gram body weight. Controls received saline in the same volumes. The animals were sacrificed 30--120 min after injection, blood was collected and their brain rapidly removed and homogenized. The amino acid concentrations were determined by HPLC using orthophtaldialdehyde for derivatization and fluorescence for detection. The results showed significant reductions of the large neutral amino acids (LNAA) L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-isoleucine, L-valine and L-methionine, as well as L-alanine, L-serine and L-histidine in plasma and of L-phenylalanine, L-isoleucine, L-valine and L-methionine in brain, as compared to controls. In vitro experiments using brain slices to study the influence of leucine on amino acid transport and protein synthesis were also carried out. L-Leucine strongly inhibited [14C]-L-phenylalanine transport into brain, as well as the incorporation of the [14C]-amino acid mixture, [14C]-L-phenylalanine and [14C]-L-lysine into the brain proteins. Although additional studies are necessary to evaluate the importance of these effects for MSUD, considering previous findings of reduced levels of LNAA in plasma and CSF of MSUD patients during crises, it may be speculated that a decrease of essential amino acids in brain may lead to reduction of protein and neurotransmiter synthesis in this disorder. 相似文献

Studies on the macroscopic protonation constants of some alpha-amino acids in ethanol-water mixtures
Both to demonstrate whether the predominant species are dipolar ion or the neutral form and to predict the change of dipolar form to neutral form ratio in ethanol-water mixtures, the macroscopic protonation constants of eight alpha-amino acid (glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-phenylalanine, L-serine, L-methionine, and L-isoleucine) were determined potentiometrically in 20-80% (v/v) ethanol-water mixtures at 25 degrees C with an ionic strength of 0.10 M. The calculation of the constants was carried out using a PKAS computer program. The effect of solvent composition on the protonation constants and the dipolar ionic to neutral form ratio of these acids in the mixed solvents are discussed. One can conclude that the dipolar form of amino acids, HA(+/-), dominates in ethanol-water mixtures. 相似文献

A new NAD+-dependent opine dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from Arthrobacter sp. strain 1C isolated from soil by an enrichment culture technique. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 70,000 and consists of two identical subunits with molecular weights of about 36,000. The enzyme catalyzed a reversible oxidation-reduction reaction of opine-type secondary amine dicarboxylic acids. In the oxidative deamination reaction, the enzyme was active toward unusual opines, such as N-[1-R-(carboxyl)ethyl]-S-methionine and N-[1-R-(carboxyl)ethyl]-S-phenylalanine. In the reductive secondary amine-forming reaction with NADH as a cofactor, the enzyme utilized L-amino acids such as L-methionine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, L-phenylalanine, L-leucine, L-alanine, and L-threonine as amino donors and alpha-keto acids such as pyruvate, oxaloacetate, glyoxylate, and alpha-ketobutyrate as amino acceptors. The product enzymatically synthesized from L-phenylalanine and pyruvate in the presence of NADH was identified as N-[1-R-(carboxyl)ethyl]-S-phenylalanine. 相似文献

Enzymes of Erwinia carotovora that transaminate phenylpyruvate were isolated, purified, and characterized. Two aromatic aminotransferases (PAT1 and PAT2)
and an aspartic aminotransferase (PAT3) were found. According to gel filtration, these enzymes have molecular weights of 76,
75, and 78 kDa. The enzymes consist of two identical subunits of molecular weights of 31.4, 31, and 36.5 kDa, respectively.
The isoelectric points of PAT1, PAT2, and PAT3 were determined as 3.6, 3.9, and 4.7, respectively. The enzyme preparations
considerably differ in substrate specificity. All three of the enzymes productively interacted with the following amino acids:
L-aspartic acid, L-leucine (except PAT3), L-isoleucine (except PAT3), L-serine, L-methionine, L-cysteine, L-phenylalanine,
L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophane. The aromatic aminotransferases display higher specificity to the aromatic amino acids and the
leucine-isoleucine pair, whereas the aspartic aminotransferase displays higher specificity to L-aspartic acid and relatively
low specificity to the aromatic amino acids. The aspartic aminotransferase does not use L-leucine or L-isoleucine as a substrate.
PAT1, PAT2, and PAT3 show the highest activity at pH 8.9 and at 48, 53, and 58°C, respectively. 相似文献

An L-isoleucine-overproducing recombinant strain of E. coli, TVD5, was also found to overproduce L-valine. The L-isoleucine productivity of TVD5 was markedly decreased by addition of L-lysine to the medium. Introduction of a gene encoding feedback-resistant aspartokinase III increased L-isoleucine productivity and decreased L-valine by-production. The resulting strain accumulated 12 g/l L-isoleucine from 40 g/l glucose, and suppression of L-isoleucine productivity by L-lysine was relieved. 相似文献

The genes for a threonine deaminase that is resistant to feedback inhibition by L-isoleucine and for an active acetohydroxyacid synthase II were introduced by a plasmid into a L-threonine-producing recombinant strain of Escherichia coli K-12. Analysis of culture broth of the strain using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance suggested that alpha, beta-dihydroxy-beta-methylvalerate (DHMV) and alpha-keto-beta-methylvalerate (KMV), the third and the fourth intermediates in the L-isoleucine biosynthetic pathway from L-threonine, respectively, accumulated in the medium in amounts comparable to that of L-isoleucine. The ratio of accumulated L-isoleucine:DHMV:KMV were approximately 2:1:1. The concentration of accumulated L-isoleucine increased by twofold after the additional introduction of the genes for dihyroxyacid dehydratase (DH) and transaminase-B (TA-B), and the intermediates no longer accumulated. The resultant strain TVD5 accumulated 10 g/l of L-isoleucine from 40 g/l of glucose. 相似文献

Seven platinum(II) complexes of the type [Pt(bipy)(AA)]n+ (where n = 1 or 0 and AA is anion of L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-aspartic acid (dianion), L-glutamic acid (dianion), L-glutamine, L-proline, or S-methyl-L-cysteine) have been prepared and characterized. The modes of binding of amino acids in these complexes have been ascertained particularly by infrared and 1H NMR spectral studies. The L-glutamine complex shows a ID50 value (50% inhibitory dose) in the range of greater than 20 micrograms/ml to 100 micrograms/ml of the complex. However, the complexes of L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-proline, and S-methyl-L-cysteine show ID50 values greater than 100 micrograms/ml of the complex. The above complexes also show inferior growth inhibition of P-388 cells than platinum(II) complexes of 2,2'-bipyridine with L-alanine, L-leucine, L-methionine, and L-aspargine as reported earlier. The platinum(II) complexes of 2,2'-bipyridine with glycine (Gly), L-alanine (Ala), L-leucine (leu), L-valine (Val), L-methionine (Met), L-phenylalanine (Phe), L-serine (Ser), L-tyrosine (Tyr) and L-tryptophan (Trp) have been tested for mutagenesis using TA 100 and TA 98 strains. They show nonmutagenicity. This is in contrast to the cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] showing a base pair substitution mutagenesis. 相似文献

Nutritional requirements of Schistosoma japonicum eggs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Newly laid eggs of Schistosoma japonicum were cultured in a serum-free, chemically defined medium, RPMI 1640, which contained 20 amino acids, glutathione, 11 vitamins, and glucose in a balanced salt solution. The requirements for these components in the nutrition of the eggs was investigated by the deletion of single component from the medium. The following 14 amino acids were shown to be essential for the full development of the egg in the medium: L-arginine, L-cystine, glycine, L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine, and L-valine. Choline chloride was the essential vitamin. The omission of nicotinamide from the medium affected maturation adversely. Glucose was also required by the eggs. Minimal concentration of glucose for maturation of the eggs was 0.02 mM, but concentrations ranging from 0.16 to 20.00 mM gave better results while the concentration of the other elements of the medium were kept constant. 相似文献

Maximal levels of L-henylalanine ammonia-lyase activity were observed when the mycelial felts of Rhizoctonia solani were grown for 4.5 days on Byrde synthetic medium containing 3.5% glucose and 0.3% L-phenylalanine, Differential centrifugation studies have indicated that the enzyme is localized in the soluble fraction. The time course of induction of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity by L-phenylalanine showed a lag period of 1 to 1.5 h and reached a maximum around 4 to 6 h after the addition of the inducer to the medium. L-Phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophan were nearly equally efficient inducers of the enzyme. D-Phenylalanine was as efficient as the L-isomer, whereas D-tyrosine was a poor inducer. Light, gibberellic acid, indole 3-acetic acid, and kinetin had no effect on the induction of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. Cycloheximide did not inhibit the uptake of amino acids by the mycelia but completely blocked the incorporation of radioactive amino acids into soluble proteins and the development of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. Actinomycin D inhibited both the incorporation of 32P into ribonucleic acid and the enzyme activity. Conclusive evidence for de novo synthesis of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase was obtained by the incorporation of radioactive amino acids into the enzyme. Electrophoretic analysis of the purified preparation showed a single protein band that coincided with radioactivity and L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. Glucose and intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, like citric acid, alpha-ketoglutaric acid, and succinic acid, and the metabolites of L-phenylalanine, like o-coumaric acid, o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and protocatechuic acid, significantly repressed L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. The observed repression was not relieved by cyclic adenosine 5'-triphosphate. 相似文献

The joint action of L-valine and L-isoleucine, L-leucine and L-isoleucine, and L-valine and L-leucine on the growth of Spirodela polyrhiza was established. The effect of one branched-chain amino acid on growth inhibition by another one was compared with the non-specific antagonisms which glycine and L-alanine exert on growth inhibition by singly supplied branched-chain amino acids. In this way specific and non-specific interactions could be distinguished. It appeared that: (1) L-isoleucine was a specific antagonist of L-valine; (2) L-leucine was a specific antagonist of L-isoleucine; (3) L-valine and L-leucine were synergistic growth inhibitors. Further, it was found that: (4) growth inhibition by L-leucine was specifically antagonized by simultaneously supplied L-valine and L-isoleucine; (5) an excess of L-isoleucine strongly inhibited the conversion of exogenous valine into leucine; (6) accumulation of valine was typical of isoleucine-induced growth inhibition. The results are consistent with the view that growth inhibition by L-valine and L-leucine is due to the blocking of acetohydroxy acid synthetase, the first common enzyme in the valine-isoleucine biosynthetic pathway. Growth inhibition by L-isoleucine, however, seems to result from inhibition of leucine synthesis at a step after 2-oxoisovaleric acid. Some aspects of the regulation of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis in higher plants are discussed. 相似文献
