SOME INTERRELATlONSHIPS OF ASPARTIC ACID, THREONINE, AND LYSINE
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a study of minimal requirements for certain lactobacilli, Leuconostoc dextranicum 8086 was observed to require either aspartic acid or threonine for growth in a particular medium. Since such an observation does not allow specific conclusions regarding the relationship of these two amino acids, a study of this interrelationship in lactobacilli in which aspartic acid biosynthesis can be controlled by biotin deficiency was undertaken and extended to include some transformations involving lysine.

متن کاملPhotosynthetic formation of the aspartate family of amino acids in isolated chloroplasts.
The metabolism of (14)C-labeled aspartic acid, diaminopimelic acid, malic acid and threonine by isolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts was examined. Light enhanced the incorporation of [(14)C] aspartic acid into soluble homoserine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine and threonine and protein-bound aspartic acid plus asparagine, isoleucine, lysine, and threonine. Lysine (2 millimolar) inhibite...

The experiments with isotopes of the group at the Carnegie Institution of Washington laboratory (1) led to the concept of the aspartic acid family of amino acids. It was shown that, in Escherichiu co.%, aspartic acid contributes carbon to form all or part of the carbon skeleton of threonine, methionine, isoleucine, lysine, and diaminopimelic acid. The intermediates in the transformation of aspa...
متن کاملIdentification of amino acids in Securigera securidaca, a popular medicinal herb in Iranian folk medicine
Securigera securidaca (L.) Degen & Dorfl grows in different parts of Iran. The seeds of the species are used in Iranian folk medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. Many studies have established hypoglycemic effects of amino acids and in the present investigation, amino acids of Securigera securidaca seeds have been evaluated. The ground seeds were extracted using petroleum ether,...
متن کاملCyanopeptolins, new depsipeptides from the cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. PCC 7806.
Four depsipeptides (peptide lactones), called cyanopeptolins A, B, C and D, have been isolated from the cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. PCC 7806. They possess identical structures consisting of cyclic L-glutamic acid-gamma-aldehyde, L-leucine, N-methyl-phenylalanine, L-valine, L-threonine, L-aspartic acid, hexanoic acid and a variable basic amino acid. This variable amino acid can be L-arginine ...
