Differential Inhibition of Glutamine and y-Glutamylcysteine Synthetases by a-Alkyl Analogs of Methionine Sulfoximine That Induce Convulsions*
The a-methyl and a-ethyl analogs of methionine sulfoximine, like methionine sulfoximine, induce convulsions in mice and inhibit glutamine synthetase irreversibly; cu-ethylmethionine sulfoximine is approximately 50% as inhibitory as methionine sulfoximine and a-methylmethionine sulfoximine. However, whereas cy-methylmethionine sulfoximine and methionine sulfoximine inhibit y-glutamylcysteine syn...
متن کاملL-Methionine SR-sulfoximine-resistant glutamine synthetase from mutants of Salmonella typhimurium.
Two mutants of Salmonella typhimurium resistant to growth inhibition by the glutamine synthetase transition state analog, L-methionine SR-sulfoximine, were isolated and characterized. These mutants are glutamine bradytrophs and cannot use growth rate-limiting nitrogen sources. Although this phenotype resembles that of mutants with lesions in the regulatory gene for glutamine synthetase, glnG, t...
متن کاملRat liver glutamine synthetase. Preparation, properties, and mechanism of inhibition by carbamyl phosphate.
Glutamine synthetase, purified from rat liver, is homogeneous on acrylamide gel electrophoresis and on ultracentrifugation (~20,~) 15.0 S). The enzyme, which consists of eight subunits (subunit molecular weight, 44,000), resembles ovine brain glutamine synthetase in its physical properties, amino acid composition, and substrate specificity. Complete inhibition of the liver enzyme by methionine ...
متن کاملStudies on glutamine synthetase from Escherichia coli. Formation of pyrrolidone carboxylate and inhibition by methionine sulfoximine.
Both the adenylylated and unadenylylated forms of Escherichia coli glutamine synthetase catalyze the formation of pyrrolidone carboxylate from glutamate in the presence of ATP and divalent metal ions (Mg++ or Mn++) and in the absence of ammonia. The unadenylylated enzyme catalyzes this reaction more rapidly with Mg++ than with Mn++, while the adenylylated enzyme catalyzes it more rapidly with M...
متن کاملThe inhibition of cerebral glutamine synthetase by structural analogs of the convulsant dl-methionine sulfoximine.
GLUTAMINE synthetase [L-glutamate-ammonia ligase (ADP)] (EC 6.3.1.2) of rat cerebral cortex may be readily inhibited by the convulsant agent dl-methionine-di-sulfoximine (MSO), both in vitro and in vivo. 1, 8 Although in vitro this inhibition is readily reversible by excess substrate, L-glutamate, the inhibition in vivo appears to reflect a nonreversible interaction of the convulsant drug with ...
