Histidine, phenylalanine-tyrosine and tryptophan requirements for growth of the young kitten.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growth assays were conducted to estimate the minimal dietary requirement levels of histidine, tryptophan, phenylalanine and tyrosine for the young kitten. Dietary concentrations of histidine and tryptophan of .30 and .15%, respectively, were found to support optimal kitten performance. A preliminary study of the total aromatic amino acid (TAAA) requirement indicated that no more than 1.20% TAAA (.60% phenylalanine + .60% tyrosine) is required by the kitten. Subsequent experiments revealed no decrease in growth rate when TAAA were reduced to 1.00% of the diet. At this level of TAAA, tyrosine could supply 50% of the requirement for TAAA.

Cross pathway regulation: effect of histidine on the synthesis and activity of enzymes of aromatic acid biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis.
l-Histidine and, to a lesser degree, l-phenylalanine at concentrations of 10(-4)m inhibit the growth of leaky mutants (bradytrophs) of Bacillus subtilis that are deficient in the synthesis of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, the first intermediate specific to tyrosine synthesis. The inhibition can be overcome by growth factor amounts of l-tyrosine and p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Histidine and phenylalanin...

Of 21 l-amino acids tested (at 1.2 x 10(-4)m), only histidine and the aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine) protect Salmonella typhimurium strains from inhibition of growth and immediately reverse the growth inhibition by 5 x 10(-4)m 2-thiazole-dl-alanine.

The amino acid requirements of a mouse fibroblast and of a number of normal and malignant human cells in tissue culture have been described in previous communications (l-4). All the cell lines examined, whether normal or malignant, required thirteen amino acids for survival and growth (arginine, cystine, glutamine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tr...

The amino acid requirements of a human uterine carcinoma cell (HeLa strain) have been defined. The 12 compounds previously found to be essential for the growth of a mouse fibroblast proved similarly essential for this human epithelial cell. They included arginine, cyst(e)ine, histidine, and tyrosine, in addition to the eight amino acids required for nitrogen balance in man (isoleucine, leucine,...

Thiobacillus neapolitanus, a strict chemoautotroph, is sensitive to the addition of 10(-4)m methionine, histidine, threonine, or phenylalanine to the thiosulfate medium on which it grows. When histidine, threonine, or phenylalanine are added at the time of inoculation, spontaneous mutants tolerant to the three amino acids are selected. These mutants appear to result from a single genetic change...
