Regulation of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA) Synthesis in Developing Chloroplasts : III. Evidence for Functional Heterogeneity of the ALA Pool.
Gabaculine and 4-amino-5-hexynoic acid (AHA) up to 3.0 millimolar concentration strongly inhibited 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthesis in developing cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. var Beit Alpha) chloroplasts, while they hardly affected protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) synthesis. Exogenous protoheme up to 1.0 micromolar had a similar effect. Exogenous glutathione also exhibited a strong inhibitory...
متن کاملRegulation of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Synthesis in Developing Chloroplasts : IV. An Endogenous Inhibitor from the Thylakoid Membranes.
5-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis in isolated, intact, developing chloroplasts from greening cucumber (Cucumis sativus) cotyledons was inhibited by broken chloroplast fragments. It was shown that the inhibitory constituent was associated with the thylakoid membrane system. The inhibitor was resistant to boiling, was not a form of ribonuclease, and did not inhibit Mg-chelatase, indicating that mas...
متن کاملAn Arabidopsis GluTR binding protein mediates spatial separation of 5-aminolevulinic acid synthesis in chloroplasts.
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is the universal precursor for tetrapyrrole biosynthesis and is synthesized in plants in three enzymatic steps: ligation of glutamate (Glu) to tRNA(Glu) by glutamyl-tRNA synthetase, reduction of activated Glu to Glu-1-semialdehyde by glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR), and transamination to ALA by Glu 1-semialdehyde aminotransferase. ALA formation controls the metabolic...
متن کامل5-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli.
A hemA mutant of Escherichia coli containing a multicopy plasmid which complemented the mutation excreted 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into the medium. [1-14C]glutamate was substantially incorporated into ALA by this strain, whereas [2-14C]glycine was not. Periodate degradation of labeled ALA showed that C-5 of ALA was derived from C-1 of glutamate. The synthesis of ALA by two sonicate fractions...
متن کامل5-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis in epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis. The parasite manifests a nutritional requirement for heme compounds because of its biosynthesis deficiency. The aim of this study has been to investigate the presence of metabolites and enzymes of porphyrin pathway, as well as ALA formation in epimastigotes of T. cruzi, Tulahuén strain, T...
