Methionine methyl group metabolism in lemna.
To provide information upon the ways in which Lemna paucicostata uses the methyl group of methionine, plants were grown for various periods (from 1 minute to 6.8 days) in the presence of a tracer dose of radioactive methyl-labeled methionine. Protein methionine accounted for approximately 19% of the accumulated methyl moieties; other methylated products, about 81%. The latter group included (pe...
متن کاملMethionine as a methyl group donor in growing cattle.
Holstein steers were used in two 5 x 5 Latin square experiments to evaluate the sparing of methionine by alternative sources of methyl groups (betaine and choline). Steers were housed in metabolism crates and limit-fed a soybean hull-based diet high in rumen degradable protein. To increase energy supply, ruminal infusions of volatile fatty acids and abomasal infusions of glucose were provided. ...
متن کاملEnzymatic Synthesis of the Methyl Group of Methionine*
The mechanism of formation de novo of the methyl group of methionine has been studied in mammalian, avian, and bacterial cell-free systems (l-8). The studies on extracts of various mutant strains of Escherichia coli have shown that, of the common compounds, formaldehyde or the P-carbon atom of serine is the best precursor of the methyl of methionine (5-7). Optimal formation of methionine from s...
متن کاملDisruption of methyl group metabolism by ethanol.
Recent studies have focused on establishing a link between the pathogenesis of ethanol and the disruption of metabolic pathways in the liver. Ethanol alters hepatic methionine metabolism, leading to perturbation of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent transmethylation. Therefore, the supply of metabolically related nutrients such as folate may play a role in the hepatotoxic effects of ethanol.
متن کاملAdaptation of Lemna paucicostata to Sublethal Methionine Deprivation.
During initial exposure to 40 nanomolar propargylglycine (PAG), Lemna paucicostata colonies undergo abnormal fragmentation and a lag in frond emergence, most severe at 24 to 48 hours. Thereafter, frond emergence resumes and the frond/colony ratio rises. Such ;adapted' plants withstand subculture into the same concentration of PAG without fragmentation or decreases in frond emergence, and displa...
