چکیده

The accumulation of free lysine in tobacco seed triggers the stimulation of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase, an enzyme that acts in lysine catabolism. The mechanism of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase stimulation was studied in two different systems: (1) developing seeds of wild-type plants in which the low basal lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity can be stimulated by the exogenous addition of lysine; and (2) developing seeds of transgenic tobacco plants expressing a bacterial dihydrodipicolinate synthase in which lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity is stimulated by endogenous lysine overproduction. In both systems, the stimulation of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity was significantly reduced when treated with the Ca2+ chelator EGTA. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of EGTA was overcome by the addition of Ca2+ but not Mg2+, suggesting that the lysine-dependent activation of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase requires Ca2+. This was further confirmed by a significant stimulation of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity following the treatment of wild-type seeds with ionomycin (an ionophore that increases Ca2+ flow into the cytoplasm). In addition, treatment of wild-type seeds with the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid triggered a significant induction in lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity, whereas treatment of the transgenic seeds with the protein kinase inhibitor K-252a caused a significant reduction in its activity. Thus, we conclude that the stimulation of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity by lysine in tobacco seed operates through an intracellular signaling cascade mediated by Ca2+ and protein phosphorylation.

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of lysine and protein on the performance of 240 Hy-Line W36 layers. Ten experimental diets were tested in a 2×5 factorial arrangement with a completely randomized design. Two basal diets (13 and 14% protein) were tested at different levels (10 and 20% lower than NRC, NRC and 10 and 20% above NRC recommendations). Dietary...

An experiment was conducted with the male Ross broiler chicks from 1 to 42 days of age to test the effects of different dietary protein and lysine levels on performance, carcass characteristics, and N excretion. Treatment diets consisted of three levels of supplemental lysine in starter and grower period (0, 0.15, and 0.30 %) and the two levels of protein (20.84, 17.84 in starter, and 18.12, 16...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of balancing low protein diets for methionine and lysine on performance of early lactation Holstein cows under hot environmental temperature. Twenty one multiparous Holstein cows in early lactation were allocated to three experimental rations including, 1) High protein ration with 17.5% CP, 2) Medium protein ration with 16% CP and 12 g/d rumen p...
