Dietary L-homoserine spares threonine in chicks.
Four chick bioassays were conducted to evaluate the threonine (Thr) replacement value of l-homoserine (HS). Growth rate was increased (P < 0.05) by dietary addition of 800 mg l-HS/kg diet to a purified diet severely deficient in Thr or by the addition of 800 or 1000 mg of l-HS/kg diet to a corn-peanut meal diet distinctly deficient in Thr. The addition of an isomolar level of alpha-ketobutyrate...

متن کاملRat liver L-threonine dehydrogenase.
L-threonine dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.1.103) catalyzes the NAD+-dependent transformation of Lthreonine to 2-amino 3-0x0-butyric acid, which spontaneously loses CO2 with the final production of aminoacetone ( 1) The enzyme is present in several microorganisms as well as in the liver of vertebrates (2-6). We studied some properties of the rat liver enzyme, showing that the activity was strongly inhi...
متن کاملHomoserine kinase from Escherichia coli K-12: properties, inhibition by L-threonine, and regulation of biosynthesis.
We have partially purified homoserine kinase from a genetically derepressed strain of Escherichia coli K-12. The optimum pH of the enzyme-substrate reaction was 7.8 and the K(m) values for l-homoserine and adenosine 5'-triphosphate were both 3 x 10(-4) M. K(+) (or NH(4) (+)) as well as Mg(2+) were required for its activity. The sedimentation coefficient determined by ultracentrifugation in a su...
متن کاملL-threonine in the treatment of spasticity.
Preclinical data indicate that the administration of the amino acid L-threonine increases glycine levels in rat spinal cord. In order to investigate glycinergic mechanisms in spasticity, and other signs of the upper motor syndrome, we gave 4.5 and 6.0 g/day of L-threonine to 18 patients with familial spastic paraparesis (FSP) according to a double-blind, crossover protocol. The response to trea...
