Pseudomonas putida P2 (ATCC 25571) grown on r,-lysine or DL-pipecolic acid is induced for a high velocity lysine transport system. Double reciprocal plots of L-lysine transport in induced cells are linear. K, and V,,, values are 7.3 X 10V6 M and 130 nmoles per mm per mg for lysinegrown cells and 9.3 X 10e6 M and 42 mnoles per min per mg for cells grown on pipecolate. Lysine transport is optimal...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the digestible lysine requirement of starter (6 kg BW initially) and of grower (21 kg BW initially) pigs. Experiment 1 used 294 starter pigs and lasted 28 d; Exp. 2 used 182 grower pigs and lasted 35 d. Protein and total lysine contents of the basal corn-peanut meal diets were 20 and .8% for Exp. 1 and 16 and .54% for Exp. 2. Basal diets were fortif...

Background and Objectives: Enhancing the growth and function of lactic acid bacteria through fortifying the basic ingredient of yogurt, milk ,have always been a key factor in the application as an industrial starter culture. The purpose of the present study is to introduce the application of certain materials in yoghurt milk with the aim of enhancing the growth and acid production, and reductio...

Thermus thermophilus biosynthesizes lysine through the α-aminoadipate (AAA) pathway: this observation was the first discovery of lysine biosynthesis through the AAA pathway in archaea and bacteria. Genes homologous to the T. thermophilus lysine biosynthetic genes are widely distributed in bacteria of the Deinococcus-Thermus phylum. Our phylogenetic analyses strongly suggest that a common ancest...

in this study, the effect of the secondary structure of the protein on the acid strength of three structures of random (r), alpha helix (α) and beta sheet (b) were investigated theoretically. these structures are related to the cationic amino acids of histidine and lysine in the polypeptide chain of eight-glycine residue. computational methods at the hf, b3lyp, x3lyp and m05-2x levels in the ga...

Resting cells of Corynebacterium glutamicum (ATCC 13032) accumulate [14C]lysine by a transport system with a relatively high affinity (10 microMs) and a low maximum velocity (0.15 nmol/min per mg [dry weight]). Uptake of lysine was not inhibited by uncouplers or by ionophores affecting the ion gradients and the energetic state of the cell. Analysis of intracellular amino acid concentrations dur...

The increment of lysine-sensitive aspartokinase (EC 2.7.2.4) activity during in vitro culture of carrot (Daucus carota, cv. Oogata sanzun) root tissue was explained in terms of derepression caused by an earlier decrease in the endogenous level of lysine, a possible end product repressor. Tissue content of free lysine decreased to about one-third of the initial level after 1 day of culture and n...

Lysine transport by in vitro distal rabbit ileum has been investigated by determining (a) transmural fluxes across short-circuited segments of the tissue; (b) accumulation by mucosal strips; and (c) influx from the mucosal solution across the brush border into the epithelium. Net transmural flux of lysine is considerably smaller than that of alanine. However, lysine influx across the brush bord...

Lysine or Mg2+ alone at high concentrations brings about partial dimerization of the lysine-sensitive aspartokinase of Escherichia coli B. The native enzyme, which has a molecular weight of 75,300 and consists of 2 subunits, responds to a combination of lysine and Mg 2+ at much lower concentrations by dimerizing to a tetrameric molecule with a molecular weight approaching 150,000. This dimeriza...
