Site-directed mutagenesis provides insight into racemization and transamination of alanine catalyzed by Treponema denticola cystalysin.
In addition to alpha, beta-elimination of L-cysteine, Treponema denticola cystalysin catalyzes the racemization of both enantiomers of alanine accompanied by an overall transamination. Lys-238 and Tyr-123 or a water molecule located on the si and re face of the cofactor, respectively, have been proposed to act as the acid/base catalysts in the proton abstraction/donation at Calpha/C4' of the ex...
متن کاملRacemization of lysine by a pseudomonad.
The recent paper by Huang and Davisson (J. Bacteriol., 76, 495, 1958) on the distribution of lysine racemase in bacteria reports its occurrence in only a few species of Escherichia and Proteus. Various other bacteria including 22 strains of various genera of the Pseudomonadaceae did not possess such activity. I wish to report evidence for the occurrence of lysine racemase activity in a Pseudomo...
متن کاملRole of L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, in the improvement of morphine-induced amnesia induced by nicotine
Introduction: Drugs of abuse such as nicotine and morphine used systemically by addicts produce their effects via the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway. Furthermore, evidence indicates that some behavioral effects of nicotine and morphine are mediated by nitric oxide (NO). Based on these observations, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of intra-nucleus accumbens (NAc) ...
متن کاملAlanine-induced amino acid interrelationships.
Six normal subjects received 10 g of alanine both orally and as a 60-min intravenous infusion. In both studies blood samples for hormones and substrates were obtained every thirty minutes for 2 1/2 hour. Significant increases in whole blood levels of threonine, serine, glutamine, proline, glycine, and alpha-amino-n-butyric acid were found, which were mainly due to increases of these amino acids...
متن کاملHistopathological effects of quercetin on liver tissue damage induced by iron oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles in Wistar rats
Introduction: Industrial and environmental pollution, excessive iron supplementation and blood transfusion are among the factors that may cause iron toxicity. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the mechanisms influencing or protecting against iron toxicity. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of quercetin as an antioxidant on hepatotoxicity induced by iron oxide an...
