Knockdown of Asparagine Synthetase A Renders Trypanosoma brucei Auxotrophic to Asparagine
Asparagine synthetase (AS) catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of aspartate into asparagine using ammonia or glutamine as nitrogen source. There are two distinct types of AS, asparagine synthetase A (AS-A), known as strictly ammonia-dependent, and asparagine synthetase B (AS-B), which can use either ammonia or glutamine. The absence of AS-A in humans, and its presence in trypanosomes, sugges...
متن کاملAsparagine synthetase in corn roots.
The level of asparagine synthetase is low in 10-mm root tips from corn seedings (Zea mays W64 x W182F) but relatively high in mature root sections taken 20 to 35 mm from the tip. When root tips are excised there is a marked increase in asparagine synthetase over a 5-hour period. In mature root sections, on the other hand, the asparagine synthetase activity declines over the same 5-hour period. ...
متن کاملAsparagine synthesis in pea leaves, and the occurrence of an asparagine synthetase inhibitor.
Asparagine is present in the mature leaves of young pea (Pisum sativum cv Little Marvel) seedlings, and is synthesized in detached shoots. This accumulation and synthesis is greatly enhanced by darkening. In detached control shoots, [(14)C]aspartate was metabolized predominantly to organic acids and, as other workers have shown, there was little labeling of asparagine (after 5 hours, 3.1% of me...
متن کاملL-Asparagine synthetase in serum as a marker for neoplasia.
L-Asparagine synthetase appears in serum approximately 7 days after the s.c. implantation of 1 X 10(5) cells of Leukemia 5178Y/AR (resistant to L-asparaginase) and increases in activity as the neoplasm grows and metastasizes. The principal source of the enzyme is the primary tumor. After intravranial inoculation of tumor, the rate of leakage of the enzyme is more pronounced than when the subcut...
متن کاملPurification and Properties of the Asparagine Synthetase of Streptococcus Bovis.
Streptococcus bovis is an unusual member of the genus Streptococcus because it can synthesize its major cellular nitrogen compounds from ammonium salts (1). Other members of the genus are well known for their requirements for amino acids. Bn enzyme survey was conducted in order to provide information concerning the primary sites of incorporation of NHa into organic nitrogen in Streptococcus bov...
