The derivation of a quantitative model of phenylalanine metabolism in humans is described. The model is based on the kinetic properties of pure recombinant human phenylalanine hydroxylase and on estimates of the in vivo rates of phenylalanine transamination and protein degradation. Calculated values for the steady-state concentration of blood phenylalanine, rate of clearance of phenylalanine fr...
To investigate intestinal and hepatic metabolism of phenylalanine, four conscious pigs (7.5 kg), bearing arterial, venous, and hepatic portal catheters, were fasted for 12 h and infused with [ phenyl-2H5]phenylalanine via a peripheral vein and [ carboxyl-13C]phenylalanine via the stomach. During the first 6 h of the infusion, the pigs remained fasted and received only the intravenous tracer. Du...
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease characterized by an inability to metabolize the amino acid l-phenylalanine. The resulting buildup leads to brain damage and ultimately mental retardation in children if their phenylalanine intake is not carefully controlled. The National Institutes of Health recently suggested that people with PKU monitor their phenylalanine levels throughout their life and be...
Insufficient treatment adherence after early childhood is frequently observed in patients with phenylketonuria. Assessment of these individuals' long-term metabolic control could enable early detection of the risk of intellectual deterioration resulting from high blood phenylalanine concentration. However, the predictive value of specific parameters related to individual dynamics of hyperphenyl...
DeCicco, B. T. (Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, N.J.), and W. W. Umbreit. Utilization of aromatic amino acids by Hydrogenomonas facilis. J. Bacteriol. 88:1590-1594. 1964.-An auxotrophic mutant of Hydrogenomonas facilis was isolated which requires tryptophan, phenylalanine, and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for growth. With glucose as the main carbon and energy source, the quantitativ...
Effects of phenylalanine and diand tetrahydropterins on presteady-state and steady-state catalytic behavior of rat liver phenylalanine hydroxylase are analyzed. From this and previous work (Shiman, R, Xia, T., Hill, M., and Gray, D. (1994) J. BioZ. Chem. 269, 2464724656), which analyzed binding of the same compounds to the enzyme in the absence of catalysis, a model of phenylalanine hydroxylase...
5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a precursor in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles including chlorophylls and heme. The formation of ALA involves two enzymatic steps which take place in the chloroplast in plants. The first enzyme, glutamyl-tRNA reductase, and the second enzyme, glutamate-1-semialdehyde-2,1-aminomutase, are encoded by the nuclear HEMA and GSA genes, respectively. To assess the sign...
BACKGROUND Phenylalanine and tyrosine are precursor amino acids required for the synthesis of dopamine, the main neurotransmitter implicated in the neurobiology of schizophrenia. Inflammation, increasingly implicated in schizophrenia, can impair the function of the enzyme Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH; which catalyzes the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine) and thus lead to elevated pheny...
Phenylalanine hydroxylase was prepared from human foetal liver and purified 800-fold; it appeared to be essentially pure. The phenylalanine hydroxylase activity of the liver was confined to a single protein of mol.wt. approx. 108000, but omission of a preliminary filtration step resulted in partial conversion into a second enzymically active protein of mol.wt. approx. 250000. Human adult and fu...
In vivo regulation of phenylalanine hydroxylation to tyrosine, studied using enrichment in apoB-100.
Phenylalanine hydroxylation is necessary for the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine and disposal of excess phenylalanine. Studies of in vivo regulation of phenylalanine hydroxylation suffer from the lack of a method to determine intrahepatocyte enrichment of phenylalanine and tyrosine. apoB-100, a hepatic export protein, is synthesized from intrahepatocyte amino acids. We designed an in vi...
