Control of haem synthesis by feedback inhibition on human-erythrocyte delta-aminolaevulate dehydratase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The action of haem, haemoglobin and other haemoproteins on crude and purified delta-aminolaevulate dehydratase of human erythrocyte is described. The results show a feedback inhibition by haem of porphyrin synthesis at the level of erythrocyte delta-aminolaevulate dehydratase. Some kinetic characteristics of this inhibition are described.

Intramitochondrial localization of delta-aminolaevulate synthetase and ferrochelatase in rat liver.
Intramitochondrial loci for delta-aminolaevulate synthetase and ferrochelatase, the initial and final enzymes in haem synthesis, have been found in rat liver. Two different methods of fractionation were applied to mitochondria: (a) sonication and density-gradient centrifugation; (b) treatment with digitonin and differential centrifugation. Similar results were obtained with each technique. delt...
متن کاملErythrocyte delta-aminolaevulinic acid dehydratase activity and blood protoporphyrin concentrations as indices of lead exposure and altered haem biosynthesis.
1. The activity of erythrocyte 6aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) dehydratase and blood protoporphyrin concentrations have been measured in patients with various anaemias, a group of subjects with known lead exposure and a group of control subjects. Leucocyte ALA synthase was measured in subjects from the last two groups. 2. Erythrocyte ALA dehydratase activity was significantly depressed in the group...
متن کاملRegulation of pre-natal haemopoiesis: evidence for negative feedback control of erythropoiesis in the foetal mouse.
The effects of medium conditioned by erythrocytes on in vitro differentiation of mouse prenatal erythroblasts were examined. Haem synthesis was inversely proportional to the concentration of erythrocyte-conditioned medium (ECM) in either presence or absence of erythropoietin (EP), but concentrations of ECM which limited haem synthesis to 50% of normal had no effect on changes in erythroblast nu...
متن کاملEffects of lead on haem biosynthesis during erythroid differentiation in vitro.
Murine erythroleukaemia cells (MELC) are erythroid precursor cells that undergo erythroid differentiation in the presence of the inducer hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA). The effects of lead on haem biosynthesis in MELC following HMBA-induced differentiation were studied. MELC were induced with HMBA in the presence of 20, 40 and 80 mum-lead acetate and cell density, haem content, incorporation...
متن کاملActivities of haem synthetic enzymes in blood cells of pre-natal flexed-tailed (f/f) anaemic mice.
Levels of activity of beta-aminolaevulinate synthetase, delta-aminolaevulinate dehydratase, porphyrinogen synthetase and haem synthetase in circulating reticulocytes of pre-natal FL4/Re +/+ and congenitally anaemic FL1/Re f/f mice have been determined. The activities of delta-aminolaevulinate synthetase and delta-aminolaevulinate dehydratase were found to be decreased in proportion to the hypoc...
