In primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes maintained in a salts/glucose medium, a more than 100-fold increase in ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) activity was caused by asparagine and glucagon in a synergistic manner. The synthesis rate of ornithine decarboxylase was determined by [35S]methionine incorporation into the enzyme protein, and the amount of ornithine decarboxylase-mRNA was m...
The amino acid analog, albizziin, which acts as a competitive inhibitor of asparagine synthetase with respect to glutamine was used to isolate mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells with alterations in levels of the target enzyme. These mutant lines have been characterized biochemically and genetically. Mutants selected in a single step are up to 40-fold more resistant to the drug than the pare...
With this system, no deamidation of glutamine occurred in the absence of a-keto acid, and, with all keto acids tested except two (pyruvate and a-ketobutyrate), transamination was absent or extremely slow when glutamate was substituted for glutamine. Experiments with W-labeled glutamine indicated that the ammonia evolved during this reaction was derived from t.he amide group of glutamine. Althou...
After the first isolation of asparagine in 1806 by Vauquelin and Robiquet (l), there were numerous studies of its properties and physiological significance (2-4). Piria (5) in 1848 was probably the first to adduce evidence for a physiological role of asparagine during the life cycle of plants, and also to observe its transformation or metabolism by yeast. However, it was not until approximately...

Impact of clinical and subclinical hypersensitivity to asparaginase in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Asparaginase is an essential element of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment. It depletes serum asparagine (an amino acid necessary for synthesis of cellular proteins), deprives leukemic blast cells of asparagine, and eventually results in cell death. To gain benefit from asparaginase, asparagine depletion must be ensured by giving intensive therapy and completing the full course of treatment...
We analyzed four families that presented with a similar condition characterized by congenital microcephaly, intellectual disability, progressive cerebral atrophy, and intractable seizures. We show that recessive mutations in the ASNS gene are responsible for this syndrome. Two of the identified missense mutations dramatically reduce ASNS protein abundance, suggesting that the mutations cause lo...
While glutamine is a nonessential amino acid that can be synthesized from glucose, some cancer cells primarily depend on glutamine for their growth, proliferation, and survival. Numerous types of cancer also depend on asparagine for cell proliferation. The underlying mechanisms of the glutamine and asparagine requirement in cancer cells in different contexts remain unclear. In this study, we sh...
We compared the adherence of E. histolytica trophozoites with a panel of lectin-resistant CHO mutants with altered glycosylation patterns. Our results coupled with data from saccharide inhibition studies indicate that terminal N-acetyllactosamine units on Asn-linked complex type oligosaccharides provide the major determinants on the cellular receptor for E. histolytica adhesion.
The whole molecule of the title Schiff base compound, C28H28N2O2, is generated by inversion symmetry. It is formed from two units of ortho-hy-droxy-naphthaldehyde bridged with 1,6-di-amino-hexane. The N atoms are protonated and, thus, the structure is a bis-zwitterionic compound in the solid state. The zwitterion shows strong intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the iminium N and the na...
