The accumulation and metabolism of amino acids by Biomphalaria glabrata, a freshwater pulmonate snail

Freshwater pulmonate snails (Biomphalaria glabrata), pre-treated under bacteriostatic conditions, were incubated in 10 ml of standard medium containing various U-¹⁴C-labelled amino acids at concentrations of 10 μM. Measurements of mass-specific accumulation rates (MSARs) based on HPLC and the accumulation of U-¹⁴C-labelled amino acids into snail tissues have shown unequivocally for the first time that freshwater snails achieved a net accumulation of all the amino acids tested, including aminoisobutyrate (AIB), aspartate, alanine and a mixture of 13 amino acids. There were no significant differences between the MSAR values determined by HPLC from those based on the use of radiolabelled amino acids, whereas MSAR values for control snails were negligible and significantly less. Incubation of snails in media containing radiolabelled aspartate and a mixture of amino acids showed that the accumulated amino acids were readily distributed through the snail’s tissues and then metabolized. The ecological and biochemical questions arising from the fact that freshwater snails are capable of net accumulation of exogenous amino acids at naturally occurring concentrations and subsequent metabolic conversion, contrary to widely held views, are addressed.

湖南道地白芷氨基酸含量与组成分析

白芷是我国常用中药材的一种,关于白芷镇痛的有效成分,主要认为是异欧前胡素、欧前胡素等香豆素类具有解痉、镇痛等作用的挥发油类化学成分,但白芷镇痛的成分及其机理尚不十分清楚,是否有其他物质也具有一定的药理作用也不得而知,比如说某些药效性氨基酸。该研究采用自动氨基酸分析仪测定了湖南道地茶陵白芷的蛋白质类氨基酸和游离氨基酸的含量,并分析其氨基酸组成。结果表明:总氨基酸检出除Asn以外的其他16种蛋白质氨基酸,含量最高的Arg占总氨基酸的31.21%,接近1/3;必需氨基酸总量达27.01%,其中含量最高的是Leu,占总必需氨基酸的24.14%;药效氨基酸比例较高,在酸水解产物总氨基酸和游离氨基酸中分别达到73.89%和85.78%,其中Arg的含量最高,达1.383g·100g-1,占比为42.24%,游离氨基酸中γ-氨基丁酸、鸟氨酸含量也较高。此外,还含有少量的高半胱氨酸和鹅肌肽等游离非蛋白质氨基酸和短肽;必需氨基酸的组成接近WHO/FAO的建议摄入值,但Met+Cys的RC值最小,为第一限制性氨基酸。这些药效性氨基酸和游离氨基酸可能是茶陵白芷具有良好药效的一个因素,而且茶陵白芷的氨基酸组成和配比较合理、符合人体需要,在强化含硫氨基酸的基础上具有开发成为新型药食同源保健性食品的潜力。研究结果可为进一步研究白芷的药理作用提供依据。     

Free amino acids in some sponges

Most invertebrates, particularly those of marine origin, have relatively high concentrations of free amino acids which are considered an important constituent of their osmoregulatory mechanisms [1]. Very little information is available on the free amino acid distribution in Porifera [2,3]. Common amino acids in some sponges were recognised by paper chromatography by Inskip and Cassidy [4] and Ackermann et al. [5,6] included a few sponges in their survey of the occurence of nitrogen compounds in marine invertebrates. More recently Bergquist and Hartman [7] surveyed semiquantitatively the distribution of free amino acids in several sponges. In the present paper we report on the amino acid composition of 12 species of sponges belonging to the class Demospongiae as a part of a study on the metabolites of Porifera [8]. Fresh sponges were extracted with aqueous ethanol. The organic solvent was removed and the aqueous solution, after removal of the ether soluble compounds, was separated into cationic, anionic and neutral fractions by ion-exchange chromatography. The cation fraction was analysed for amino acids using an automatic amino acid analyser. The results, which are presented in Table 1, show that all species of sponges examined have a similar composition in common amino acids. Glycine almost always appears as the dominant protein amino acid, followed by high concentrations of alanine and glutamic acid, whereas relatively lower concentrations of basic amino acids are present. In Axinella cannabina, Chondrosia reniformis, Chondrilla nucula, Cliona viridis and Hymeniacidon sanguinea, glycine represents more than 77% of the total amino acids. The high percentage of free glycine (90.4%) in Chondrosia reniformis is noteworthy. The anionic and the neutral fractions were examined for sulfur-containing amino acids using PC. Taurine (Table 2) was detected in all the Porifera examined; this is in agreement with previous observations [5–7]. N-Methyltaurine was identified in some of the species examined, whereas neither N,N-dimethyltaurine nor N,N,N-trimethyltaurine were found.
