Lipoic Acid-Dependent Oxidative Catabolism of -Keto Acids in Mitochondria Provides Evidence for Branched- Chain Amino Acid Catabolism in Arabidopsis
Lipoic acid-dependent pathways of -keto acid oxidation by mitochondria were investigated in pea (Pisum sativum), rice (Oryza sativa), and Arabidopsis. Proteins containing covalently bound lipoic acid were identified on isoelectric focusing/ sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separations of mitochondrial proteins by the use of antibodies raised to this cofactor. All these ...
متن کاملBranched-chain amino acid catabolism in bacteria.
The enzymatic conversions necessary for the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids have been reported to occur in a wide variety of bacteria. However, most studies have been done using several species of Pseudomonas. Pseudomonads are richly endowed with extraordinary nutritional versatility, which enables them to catabolize a diverse array of organic compounds (64), including the branchedchai...
متن کاملMinimizing amino acid catabolism decreases amino acid requirements.
The processes of natural selection shape the efficiency of nutrient use by animals, with some being especially thrifty while others are wasteful. An examination of the widely divergent amino acid economies of different species vividly illustrates this basic nutritional principle. The domestic cat evolved as a carnivore and has a very high maintenance requirement for dietary amino acids. The cat...
متن کاملAn rRNA approach for assessing the role of obligate amino acid-fermenting bacteria in ruminal amino acid deamination.
Ruminal amino acid degradation is a nutritionally wasteful process that produces excess ruminal ammonia. Monensin inhibited the growth of monensin-sensitive, obligate amino acid-fermenting bacteria and decreased the ruminal ammonia concentrations of cattle. 16S rRNA probes indicated that monensin inhibited the growth of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius and Clostridium sticklandii in the rumen. Clo...
متن کاملRegulation of branched-chain amino acid catabolism.
Catabolism of the branched-chain amino acids is regulated in part at the step catalyzed by the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. Previous work suggests both short-term and long-term control mechanisms are involved in regulation of the kinase responsible for phosphorylation and inactivation of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. Recent work of this laborat...
