Regulation of Enzyme Activities

چکیده
spora crassa has been studied. Elevation of ATCase (L-aspartate carbamoyltransferase) activity is found in all pyrimidine-requiring mutants when they are starved for uridine. DHOase (dihydroorotase) is an unstable enzyme, and it is impossible to conclude what type of regulation, if any, controls this enzyme. DHOdehase (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase) activity shows a marked elevation in uridine-starved pyr-2 cultures, a mutant blocked late in the pathway. Several mutants blocked early in the pathway show much smaller increases in DHOdehase activity and possible explanations for this are discussed. Differences in the modes of regulation of the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathways in various organisms are compared.

Wedelolactone from Vietnamese Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. protected zymosan-induced shock in mice
Wedelolactone is known to have biological activities such as anti-inflammation hepatitis, anti-hepatotoxic activity, and trypsin inhibitory effect. However, up to date, there has not been studied deeply in the role of wedelolactone for zymosan-induced signaling pathways in the process of regulating the excessive inflammatory responses in host. Here, we demonstrated that wedelolactone plays an e...

متن کاملSecondary Metabolite Contents and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of Cichorium intybus Hairy Roots in Response to Zinc
Hairy root systems are formed by transforming plant tissues with the “natural genetic engineer” Agrobacterium rhizogenes. In most plants such as Cichorium intybus L., hairy root cultures have proven to be an efficient system for secondary metabolites production. The effect of Zinc (ZnSO4), a heavy metal, was investigated at different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 10 mM) on some secondary metaboli...
متن کاملResponses of Accessions of Zea Mays to Crude Oil Pollution Using Growth Indices and Enzyme Activities as Markers
The performance of every plant in an environment is an indicator of how the plant can withstand the various environmental conditions. This study investigated the toxicity of crude oil on the growth performance, chlorophyll contents, enzymatic activities and oxidative stress biomarkers of eight accessions of Zea mays. The growth enzyme (amylase and invertase) activities, as well as oxidative s...
