Lipid metabolism in cultured cells.
Utilization of serum triglycerides by cells in tissue culture has been studied in order to determine their importance as a source of cell lipids and to obtain information on the cellular mechanisms of triglyceride uptake. L strain mouse fibroblasts incorporated serum triglycerides from the growth medium, but the rates of uptake were up to IO-fold less than that of free fatty acids or monoglycer...
متن کاملUnusual P450 reactions in plant secondary metabolism.
Plant cytochromes P450 (P450s) participate in a variety of biochemical pathways to produce a vast diversity of plant natural products. The number of P450 genes in plant genomes is estimated to be up to 1% of the total gene annotations of each plant species, implying that plants are huge sources for various P450-dependent reactions. Plant P450s catalyze a wide variety of monooxygenation/hydroxyl...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Cultured Plant Cells
Undifferentiated cell cultures of higher plants are important genetic resources used extensively in cytological, physiological, and molecular biological studies. The development of a reliable and cost-effective method for the maintenance of cultured cells is required to minimize the risk of losing cell lines to disease, contamination, and technical errors, as well as the risk of changes in morp...
متن کاملGenetic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism'
The ubiC gene of Escherichia coli encodes chorismate pyruvatelyase, an enzyme that converts chorismate into 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB) and is not normally present in plants. The ubiC gene was expressed in Nicofiana tabacum L. plants under control of a constitutive plant promoter. The gene product was targeted into the plastid by fusing it to the sequence for the chloroplast transit peptide of the ...
متن کاملCarbohydrate Metabolism in Cultured Cells 813
The me tabo l i sm of radioact ively labelled D-glucose, L-glutamine, and L-glutamate has been determined in a g l y c o l y t i c mu t an t of C h i n e s e h a m s t e r ovary cells, R l . I . 7 , and in its parent, CHO-K1. The complete oxidation of glucose via the TCA-cycle is negligible in both cell types, but there is significant oxidation of carbon-1. CHO-K1 cells derive most of their ene...
