Intestinal metabolism of sulfur amino acids.
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a metabolically significant site of sulfur amino acid (SAA) metabolism in the body and metabolises about 20 % of the dietary methionine intake which is mainly transmethylated to homocysteine and trans-sulfurated to cysteine. The GIT accounts for about 25 % of the whole-body transmethylation and trans-sulfuration. In addition, in vivo studies in young pigs ind...
متن کاملMetabolism of glycine by rumen microorganisms.
Rumen microorganisms rapidly metabolized glycine at rates varying from 0.014 to 0.241 mumole of glycine per ml per min. The main metabolic products were carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and ammonia; little glycine was incorporated into bacterial protein. Use of carboxyl or methylene-labeled glycine showed that the carbon dioxide came mainly from the carboxyl of glycine, whereas both carbons of acet...
متن کاملSulfur Metabolism and Sulfur-Containing Amino Acids: I- Molecular Effectors
The biology of the macro-element sulfur (S) is attracting an ever growing attention concerning cell physiology and human health. Sulfur metabolism works at the interplay between genetics and epigenetic as well as in the maintain of cell redox homeostasis. Indeed, unbalanced levels of S compounds in the body are actually under investigation as vulnerability factors and/or indicators of impaired ...
متن کاملUtilization of inorganic sulfate by rumen microorganisms. I. Incorporation of inorganic sulfate into amino acids.
The ability of rumen microbiota to incorporate inorganic sulfate into cystine and methionine was suggested by Loosli et al. (1949) and demonstrated by Block et al. (1951) through use of radioactive sodium sulfate. The significance of this incorporation as applied to ruminant nutrition has been discussed by Davis et al. (1954). Formation of microbial protein in the rumen of cattle is accompanied...
متن کاملMetabolism of sulfur amino acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Sulfur amino acid biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves a large number of enzymes required for the de novo biosynthesis of methionine and cysteine and the recycling of organic sulfur metabolites. This review summarizes the details of these processes and analyzes the molecular data which have been acquired in this metabolic area. Sulfur biochemistry appears not to be unique through t...
